Good day.  I would just like to confirm.  Is Position Access/Supervisor Access always required for Approval of Expense Sheets, even if it is a direct subordinate of a Manager creating the Expense Sheet? Thank you.  Anya.

We have been building our Maintenance surveys for Aurena in a test environment. I am not able to find how to add those to an app package or be able to export them for importing into the production environment. Is this a possibility to do? We have a lot of layers developed and would rather not do them manually again. 

I have a case in IFS 10 where I need 4 operations on a shop order on the same work center. I would then afterwards like to connect these 4 operation with 4 operations from other shop orders in a block. But it is not possible to add more operations on a shop order to the same block, why?

Is there a quick way (now that F9/Zoom isn’t an option) to identify where Basic Data for each Dropdown lives?  For example, if I needed to set up a new Shipment Type where would I do this?  What would the view be under in the Navigator? If I type in ‘Shipment’ there are at least 50 entries.  How would I which to choose?  Is there any logic to help?  Is it always TOPIC Basic Data or Basic Data TOPIC?  Is there a debug/page info clue?   Any assistance gratefully received.

Hi,We are experiencing some issues with synchronizing FSM and PSO unavailabilities. When an unavailability is created in FSM, it is automatically reflected in PSO. However, when the unavailability is deleted from FSM, PSO is not updated and continues to show the unavailabilities that have already been deleted in FSM.How can we proceed to update PSO according to the changes in FSM?Thank you.

Hello, Trying to implement a user available excel migration file and have to solve two problems to make it useable.  problem 1) Want to make one of the columns a drop down with 5 to 6 options for ease of input and formatting. Other values could be manually input but the drop down would contain the most frequently used values. Would prefer to do this using Client Values and not DB values. In this example it would be the Work Task Template ID  - Description - Rev. Problem 2) This specific migration container is to a custom page and the primary values are Contract and Line No. The issue is that the migration file is asking for line DB value and the user will not have access to that information since its not viewable in the client. There is an API call to the OBJKEY on that table which is the DB value for the Line Number. Trying to determine how to have the file fetch the DB value after the user specifies the client value.  I’ve scoured documentation and watched numerous videos with no luc

We have two specific tax scenarios which I presume would be consistent amongst any customer using the Avalara service...so hopefully I’m not breaking new ground with this question.  We have ‘freight’ and ‘sales tax credit’ setup as Sales Charge Types in IFS.  But there is no way to assign an External Tax Parameter to a Sales Charge...I only see that for Sales Parts.  Without a mechanism to assign a tax code mapping, these charges then get passed to Avalara as taxable.  How are other customers addressing this?  Are you create these as sales parts and then adding them a lines on your orders?  Is there already way method to handle this that I am missing?

Hello everybody, The client would like the “Card No” to be longer than 10 characters. Is it possible to modify this? 

We have shop orders in process that will be completed but cannot ship until quality approves shipping. Inventory is lot tracked. We cannot put availability control on the lot because the shop order is still in process. What is the best practice to prevent a shop order from shipping when it is completed? Can availability control be setup ahead of time so that when the shop order is received into inventory, there is a control on it?  Regards,Eric 

There is a day forwarning column in the maintenance plan. I would like to know which screen or column uses this data. I was unable to identify this information in the help.I think it is the Next Interval Maint screen where only maintenance intervals within the period defined in the days forwarning column are shown. 

I decided to create this conversation as I don’t see this issue addressed clearly in other areas of the IFS Community. Although it is alluded to in other questions, no real answer is provided by IFS that has been satisfactory (or maybe it is but I could not find it).The question is simple: Why has IFS fully restricted the execution of any IFSAPP API’s to the user accounts given to Customer’s IT departments to connect to Oracle (that is, IFSINFO and IFSDBREADONLY)? What alternatives does IFS provide to Customer’s IT departments to perform some tasks that are SAFE that were entirely possible in APPS10?I would like to expand a bit on what I mean by SAFE API calls. In the past, IFS Consultants maintained that the state of IFS Database Access to Customer’s IT Departments was presenting a risk, as users (with the IFSAPP password) could do whatever CRUD operations they wanted against the base tables CIRCUMVENTING IFS API USAGE and that was very risky.Fast forward to IFS Cloud architecture and

Hi All,We have noticed that setting a default value using a BPE workflow to a field that gets its values from a fixed database enumeration, is not possible as it gives an error.  Ex: Automatic Payment Authorization field in Supplier → Invoice → General tab.  We have already tried the solution from the post Set default value for a list using BPA | IFS Community but we still keep getting this error.  Is this a bug in the standard application or are we missing something? Help! TIA

I am looking for advice on setting up vacation accruals by hours and time with the company in IFS Cloud.  For example, from years 0 - 3, the employee gets 80 hours per year of vacation.  The accrual rate is 0.03846 hours of vacation per hour worked.  The maximum carry forward is 160 hours.  from years 4 - 6, the employee gets 100 hours per year of vacation.  The accrual rate is 0.04807 hours of vacation per hour worked.  The maximum carry forward is 200 hours.  The years need to be calculated from the employee hire date.  Can the accruals be automatically changed once the years of service moves to the next tear?  I don’t see how you do anything with hours in the time limit value details. 

 We are currently on 23R2.10  The actual documents are now appearing in the tree section of the Document folder Navigator screen again.  The problem is that they now have a hyperlink to the Document Revision screen.  Our shop floor employees use this screen to review their work instructions.  We do not want them in the document revision screens.  How can I turn off this hyperlink?   We would prefer that it just be a view document feature. 

Hi We are in the process of upgrading to IFS cloud 24R1, and all the dates in our IFS cloud do not match our local time system. IFS Cloud uses American, and we are Europeans. As other posts in the community has noted, it is possible to change browser settings, but we are a production company with many not so tech savvy people. Is there a way to centrally force date formats? Either a parameter in system parameters, or a change in the used languages.Best Regards

Hi.In FSM, when creating a quote with lines for a contract, the quote generates a temporary contract with status set to “QUOTE”. The duration on the quote lines (quote_contract_line) determines the coverage start and end dates. The problem is that the temporary contract uses todays date as the start date for this calculation. Is there any way to edit the process so that it uses a different start date?

Hello! I am using IFS Apps 10 UPD18 and am facing the issue that a posting proposal appears not to be connected to an invoice. We can see the following error in the “Supplier Invoices for Final Posing Analysis,” but nothing appears when you search for that posting proposal in the posting proposal screen. ORA-20115: PostingProposalHead.FND_REMOVED: The "Posting Proposal Head" has already been removed by another user. I suspect that this could be an error originating from the code. I kindly request your advice and guidance on solving this issue so Supplier invoices can be treated as usual. Thank you!

Hello! I am trying to figure out how the PO Line matching works and my scenario is as follows:Supplier Master - PO Matching is set to PO Line, and the Validation is set to PO Reference and Receipt Reference. The PO has 10 Inventory part lines, and all 10 are received via ‘Receipt’, and ‘Receipt’ is in the ‘Received’ Status. Assume that the first PO Line is for 110 quantities, unit priced at $0.98 = $107.86 I receive an Invoice from the Supplier, which has only one Invoice line, accounting for $107.86.  This invoice is loaded into IFS (Apps 10) as an external invoice file, and the file is also processed successfully. However, no matching is conducted at the Posting Proposal. I even changed the Supplier’s PO matching level to PO Header and PO Receipt, which simply matches all 10-part lines received, which is not what I expected. I would want only the Invoice line to match against the specific PO Line received.I kindly request your assistance and guidance in resolving this issue and under

We are currently using IFS Apps 10. When MRP generates a Purchase Requisition for a demand (whether for a customer order or a shop order), we've noticed that the origin information is not included in the Purchase Requisition.According to our understanding, the "Ordered For" field in the Purchase Requisition should display the customer order number or shop order number as its origin. However, this field is consistently blank. Could you please advise if there is a setting or configuration that needs to be adjusted to ensure the origin details are added to the Purchase Requisition?Attached below is a screenshot of the Purchase Requisition triggered by MRP for a customer order for reference.  Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.
