I've looked at the information below regarding the Data Services Foundation, but I don't currently understand what it can do. Do you know of any websites or documents where I can find out what it can do now?

How to enable turn on
I have a purchased raw part and on the supplier for purchase part record. I added a price list for a new price of the part some time in the future. However, when I enter a purchase order line for a wanted delivery date beyond the effective date of the new price, the system still displays the supplier for purchase part price from the general tab. Is that how it is supposed to work?Thanks!
All,I must admit that my experience with the MRP Spares Forecast functionality is a bit lacking. When working with a customer on this functionality, several questions arose: 1) Why is the system mandating online consumption flag when the forecast consumption is still happening?2) Is there an option for forward forecast with online consumption flag turned on3) Since we cannot add parts to spare parts family forecast without the online consumption flag turned on, what are the repercussions of this approach:Can we turn it on while assigning the spare parts to the family and turn it off via a script in the background? 4) Are there are any implications of using spare parts forecast without the online consumption flag? Thanks!
Would you like to know the details in the Tailor Guide below?https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r2/040_tailoring/225_configuration/150_config_best_practice/#application_configuration_packagesIt is recommended to check the ACP into the Customer Solution Repository so that Impact analysis of updates can be performed.How can impact analysis be done? For example, when applying an RU, we can analyze the layer using the Update Analyzer tool, reflect the changes to the repository, and create a TOP environment, but I don't think the configuration can be analyzed using the Update Analyzer tool.How do you analyze the configuration before applying RUs when applying RU?
We recently completed an upgrade from IFS Applications 10 to IFS Cloud 25R2 and encountered two items that did not appear to migrate as expected.1. Custom RDL Report LayoutsThe custom Report Layout definitions were present after the upgrade, however the associated client-developed RDL binaries were not available in the target IFS Cloud environment. As a result, the layouts existed but the report content itself had to be redeployed.Questions:Is it expected that custom RDL binaries are not migrated as part of the Apps10 to IFS Cloud upgrade process? If so, what is the recommended migration approach for customer-developed RDL binaries? Are there any prerequisites or upgrade steps that would cause the binaries to be excluded during migration?2. Custom Lobby Data SourcesWe also observed that customer-developed Lobby Data Sources from Apps10 were not present after the upgrade to IFS Cloud. Standard functionality appears intact, but the custom data sources had to be recreated manually.Questio
The Customer Statement of Account report appears to duplicate the customer PO number from the line below it when the first entry (in our case a Collective Invoice) doesn’t have a customer PO number directly attached to it in IFS. The Collective Invoice will show a PO number but when the Statement of Account runs it won’t pull that and will instead fill it in with the one below. Does anyone know what might be going on here?
If we set ‘Site to Site supply chain parameters the ‘Transport Lead Time’ it considered for the PO in demand site. we can see separate Arrival date and Delivery date based on the number of days that we set for Transport Lead Time.But when we set Direct Shipment to Demand Site parameters in ‘Supplier to Site Supply Chain Parameters’ page it is not considering the Transport Lead Time for the PO in demand site.Is there any additional configuration exists in direction shipments to get separate Arrival date and Delivery date?
I have a workflow that is trigger after a Projection call:Projection: CreateRepairWorkOrderAssistantHandling Call: CreateRepairActionI want to be able to use the response from that call inside my workflow (i.e the WoNo) but I noticed it is not part of the payload that gets sent to the workflow.Is there a way to get that response and use it in the workflow? I thought that triggering it “after” would allow me to use the response value of that call.
A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionThe customer wants to use contractor-sourced materials to create a single Purchase Order for the entire job completed by the service contractors. However, the Payment Lines on the Request Task are not reflecting the materials, which means we cannot create a Purchase Order.This issue arises because the inventory parts are not being recognized in the Purchase Parts tab of the service contractor, as the contractor's scope is set as intercompany.This functionality needs to be implemented in future releases.B.

I’m on FSM 6.28. I would like to create an input xml with a control type where I provide two options like Yes or No, but it doesn’t save as Y or N, but pre-defined values where Y = ‘value_1’ and N = ‘value_2’ or where I set to nothing, for example N = ‘ ‘. Or something like a checkbox control type but it doesn’t save it as Y or N. Also, am I able to display more than one control in one message?Below is an example of what I was trying to achieve and would like to know if that is possible. <update_request> <request> <request_id xpath_node="//request_hierarchy_select_result[@result_name='detail']/request/request_id" /> <action_status>@user_input[id=convert_credit_prompt, table_name=request, column_name=action_status, control_type=CheckBox, choices=Yes:CONVERT_CREDIT;No:, required=Y, height=30]</action_status> <update/> </request> </update_request>
One of my customers is encountering errors of various types when they run the costing calculation and the encounter of the error shuts down the background job. So they correct the error and rerun the process. Now, if they run the process again and another error for another part is encountered, the second background job also fails.Does anyone know if there is a process that can pre-check the calculation for all the possible errors without actually writing the newly calculated costs to the part cost records? Thanks

Hi all,I would like to highlight a serious delivery installation issue we encountered in IFS Cloud 25R2.We had a delivery installation where the installation was reported as successful, but translations were not imported.The installation log clearly contained the following error:### Start Translation Files Import ### Importing Runtime Attributes and Translations Importing files from: /tmp/db_deploy/InstallationFiles/server/translation Error while importing Localize files : Staging of translation tables failed. Import aborted.The environment was:IFS Cloud 25R2Product Version: 25.2.5According to IFS Support, this has been confirmed as an IFS Cloud code-related issue. The root cause was described as the absence of a defined editioning strategy in the relevant tables.The planned fix versions communicated by IFS are:25.2.8 - 25R2 SU826.1.2 - 26R1 SU226.2E.0 - 26R2 EAThis is very concerning.The problem is not only that translations are not imported. The bigger problem is that the delivery
Hello, Can anyone please explain the benefits of the Scope Tool/2C8 for IFS Cloud?Is the Scope Tool/2C8 a mandatory tool for designing and development in the for IFS Cloud Build place?We are particularly interested in understanding about test outputs that might be generated.

Hi all,We are planning a release update from IFS Cloud 24R2 to 26R1, roughly 16 weeks with Build Place upgrade in Week 3 and Production go-live in Week 14.The business runs 2-week sprints and expects continuous delivery. Once the Build Place is on 26R1, sprint changes cannot go to Production until go-live, and we have no 24R2 line for emergency fixes.Questions:Is running two Build Places in parallel (24R2 for Production support, 26R1 for upgrade work) a supported approach? If yes, how do you re-apply 24R2 emergency fixes into the 26R1 solution so they are not lost at cutover? Have others used a code freeze instead? How long was practical?Any experience would be appreciated.Thanks
Is there a way to mark in the customer order line the parts that get sold to a specific service object? There is the Superior SM Object ID which triggers the creation of a Service Object and creation of the Object Hierarchy, however so far I could not get non-serial parts to simply appear underneath the object selected in the section: Service Object → Service Information → Parts Used This would really make sense to have it there as well, as not all parts are always being sold through a Request. Some are being sold through a Customer Order CheersN
