In IFS Cloud, what is the best way to prevent employees from clocking in as other employees?They will be using a time clock terminal. The terminal itself has access to all employees in the company, so they are all available in dropdown when an employee enters their ID with the keypad.The only thing I have come up with is to remove the keypad and have users swipe a card.Is there another way to accomplish this?

Hello, we testing off of IFS App 10 and will soon convert to IFS Cloud. In our current old ERP system we issue materials from the warehouse to the production area and its immediately assigned to cost of goods sold (no visibility of WIP). Our inventory is averaged weighted cost and our system allows inventory to go negative. In order to prevent disruption when transitioning from our old system to IFS, we are looking at options to be able to issue material from raw materials directly into a WIP GL account and somehow be able to receive/close out shop orders/DOP orders through backflushing without getting errors for having insufficient materials. Our current idea was to create an inventory location with non-nettable so its not seen by MRP/purchasing and then have shop orders consume strictly from those particular locations, however we run into the insufficient material problem. The assumption I have seen with IFS is that it assumes your BOM is 100% accurate when backflushing which is n

Hello,Is there any functionality where I can get the calculated times to finance and not use the real clocking times from Shop Floor Workbench? Scenario could be that you want to follow up on the clockings but not report the actual times to finance.

With Apps 10, via the system parameter “Show only the assigned logical printers and default physical printer”, it was possible to limitate the list of logical printers proposed inside the report dialog box.  We note that the system parameter no longer exists with IFS CLOUD. Is this functionality still covered in another way with IFS CLOUD?This feature was very useful for customers with hundreds of logical printers.

Hi,I am trying to migrate data into Aps10 Upd10 using csv as input file. The data has newlines, tabs and some special characters like £,€,©,º,≠,≈When the data has newlines, the CREATE_TABLE_FROM_FILE job reads it as the next record. I have to remove the newlines from the data if i have to load them correctly. Is there a solution for this so that i can retain the newlines in the data? Also if the data has special characters like º,≠,≈ , then the csv file doesn’t display them properly. Hence when I load the data into IC table, it replaces these characters with ‘?’.Some of the character do work fine like £,€ . Is there any list of special characters that is not supported when using csv migration? Kindly guide.

As we push to get user’s over to Aurena, we have discovered that when locking an attached document within the Manual Supplier Invoice screen, each time that the Document Object Connections tab is clicked, the systems takes a long time before this option becomes available. All other areas of IFS where this process takes place do not exhibit this behavior, nor do we see this in IEE.

I have searched the forums but I have not been able to find the answer to this:A lot of our documents are created outside of IFS. Before IFS Cloud (i.e. IFS Applications 10) we could create a document in IFS with no file.refs and drag and drop the file to the file refs tab.This does not work now, and there is no + button to press either as I have illustrated below.Does anyone know how to import or check in a file to an existing document from IFS Cloud? We are running 23R1 upd 10. Best regardsTrond Kvalo

Good afternoon,We would like to understand why the “Modified By” field in the Shop Order is changed when we simply print the Shop Order, considering there is no change to the shop order itself.The only change is in the Order History where there is a new line for “Shop Order Report Created”, but nothing is done at the Shop Order level itself.Thanks in advance for your input.Kind Regards,Carlos Mendes

Hi Fellow Forumites.Is there a way in Apps 10 or Cloud to send out a pdf statement that is password protected? Regards

Our current environment is IFS Application 10 Update 8.We have created an integration between IFS and Ignition using Rest API allowing Ignition to display shop orders, shop order operations and material lines in the order production needs to run them. The last step we need to accomplish is being able to retrieve the documents and images attached to the material lines.  We use document management for the PDF’s and media items for the images of the products. I have been unable to located or figure out the Rest API to allow us to download the documents or images attached to the material lines.   Can someone shed some light on the REST API’s we’d need to utilize to download the files so we can display the information within Ignition. Regards,William Klotz

Hi everyoneWe’re getting a syntax error reported when trying to build an environment in build place.  The deployment works fine from IFS Developer and therefore I believe it’s a dependency issue.We added a couple of functions to the ShipmentSourceUtility and call them from the ShipmentLinesHandling projection, in a similar way to that used by the core code: @Overrideentity ShipmentLine {   attribute Revision_Text Text {      fetch = "Shipment_Source_Utility_API.Get_Line_Rev_Text__(SOURCE_REF1, SOURCE_REF2, SOURCE_REF3, SOURCE_REF4, SOURCE_REF_TYPE_DB)";      label = "Part Revision";      editable = [false];   }} The ShipmentLines client and ShipmentLinesHandling projection fail to compile and working through the _ifs_ant_generatedb.log it looks like the ShipmentSourceUtility is being compiled after the projection.The shpmnt deploy.ini doesn’t appear to force the compi

Hi, In App9 IEE, we have a customer requirement to limit access to marked Customer (Customer Order/Line/Invoice) related information for session user.so that only designated users will have access to that information.The standard Field ‘Form of business’ at Customer window will be used in combine with access check (User without New permission set ABC_ACCESS granted) will prevent users to access Customer with ‘Form of business’ = ‘ABC’.I would like to hear your inputs regarding the technical feasibility of the suggested solution OR there could be another approach to limit access to specific data related to Customer. Thank you!   Set up basic data for ‘Form of business’.

Hello everyone, strange thing is happening to me today.Using ifs report designer, I have 2 custom fields on the IVC report which are subject to a condition :tns:CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP/tns:INVOICE_TYPE ='CUSTORDDEB'This condition core from ifs report designer and is also on the title, so I just re-used the same syntax for those 2 custom fields. Suddenly this morning, the 2 custom fields didn’t showed up anymore on customer order ivc deb reports.The other fields (the title for instance) is still working and showing correctly when users use preview or print in ifs cloud.Is there any reason it can happen like that without any others changes we made ? More strange : I removed the condition, the 2 custom appears again (which is normal). I re-enter condition on those field (copy pasted from the title condition), and i have now this error in ifs cloud :See nested exception; nested exception is: java.lang.NullPointerException Cau

23.2.4In Visual Shop Order Operations Planning, I am trying to sequence operations with characteristics in a Work Center in the Machine Operations Scheduling Gantt.The documentation reads as:To sequence all operations for a resource or work center loaded in the Gantt chart, open the card for the resource or day and click Sequence. To sequence all operations for a resource or work center on one or several days, select the relevant day(s) for the resource and click Sequence. To sequence specific operations, select the relevant operations and click Sequence.For #2, how can a user select the days in the Gantt, where should a user click for this?For #3, when I select one operation in the Gantt the Sequence command is available, but when I select multiple operations the Sequence command is not available.

Dear All, We are currently working on an IFS upgrade project to transition one of our IFS customers from IFS 9 UPD 14 to IFS Cloud. We have completed our first upgrade iteration and have upgraded the customer to IFS Cloud 23 R1. The customer belongs to the telecom sector, and work orders from IFS applications are the main area they are utilizing. During this initial iteration, it took 78 hours and 20 minutes to execute the main upgrade script. Out of this total time, 72 hours and 52 minutes were spent on post-installation data file deployment. Within this time frame, the work order module related files took up 69 minutes and 37 minutes. Below are the files that took the most time:POST_Wo_UpgradeToTaskFramework.sql:                                           16 hours and 48 minutes POST_WO_UpdateHistAllocations.sql:                                                   2 hours and 48 minutes POST_Wo_UpdateJtTaskPlanning.sql:

How to handle customisation of Deploy.ini file in IFS Cloud

APPSv10 UPD 20Windows Server 2019 (CPU: 2x2.10GHz, 4 virtual sockets, RAM: 48Gb)We are lining up to apply Update 23 and just preparing the application instructions, I find the usual warning regarding available resource is in place and that if memory is not sufficient, that this could impair the patch application process.It got me thinking about the process of starting the Managed Servers. Whenever we start the Managed Servers after a hardware reboot, or where we needed to restart the IFS system for whatever reason, the CPU always maxes out at 100% for a good few minutes, perhaps 5 mins, then a slight drop to then run again at 100% for a few minutes. I appreciate this is not a RAM concern, but….This in my experience seems to be normal behaviour, and occurs across both our Production and Test systems. The start operation is always successful.Should we be concerned? or just nature of the beast?To be clear, my question to the co
