I’m trying to test AccountSet (GET) API IFS Cloud Demo environment as follows. Im able to retrieve the bearer token using following IAM client but once I pass the bearer token to the API it gives me following error.

Hello,We recently upgraded from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud 25R1.In Apps 10, we were able to move a work task status back to the New status if there were no records associated/transacted with it. We’ve used this in cases where a user accidentally moves a task to Under Preparation prior to actually starting to work on the task. I can’t seem to find a way to do this in IFS Cloud, but I also cannot find any documentation that states this is restricted by design. Was this ability that was possible in Apps 10 taken away in Cloud? Or am I missing a step to be able to move it back into a New status?Thanks,Evan

I”m trying to find the official definition of the POS variable in the PDM/Basic Data/Defaults.  I know what it is for on the Consists Of tab in Engineering Part Navigator.  It is a 30 character field in DEFAULTS and it is alphanumeric.  NONE of the help information that I can find has any mention of this.  I’d thought that it was the default POS that is used when adding a component to an eBoM but that’s not the case in 26R1.Any ideas?Thank youPatrick

All,When a new inventory part is created the DOP Connection is set to Automatic DOP and we can not change this. Can anyone advise where this is set as we do not want DOP to be Automatic. I’ve looked in the Site settings but can not see where this is. Thanks for your help as always, Sarah

Hi all,We have recently started working more extensively with IFS Demand Planning and are currently building several reports based on planning data. We are running IFS Cloud 25R2.One of the data elements we would like to access is the System Forecast generated by Demand Planning. Ideally, we are looking for a way to retrieve this data through both:REST API (for integration with external reporting applications) Database objects/views (for reporting directly within IFS)While investigating the data model, I found the view SYSTEM_FORECAST and the table SYSTEM_FORECAST_RTB, but both appear to contain no data in our environment.I also tried accessing the SystemForecastSet projection through the REST API, but this entity set is currently returning no records as well.My questions are:Is there a supported way to access the System Forecast values generated by Demand Planning? Are there any prerequisites, jobs, or configuration settings required before data becomes available in the database objec

Hi Community, Does anyone have experience setting up calculated tax in the Travel Expense module? As far as I understand, it is only possible to set up the posting control TX2 – Travel Expense Tax. Unlike the INVOIC module, there do not seem to be equivalent posting controls for calculated tax such as IP9 – Tax Received, Calculated and IP10 – Tax Disbursed, Calculated. I have assigned a tax code for calculated tax to an expense code in the Expense Rule view. However, when I create and post an expense sheet using that expense code, no tax voucher lines are generated, and no transactions are created in the Tax Transactions view. This seems like a significant limitation for EU customers planning to use the Travel Expense module, as no tax voucher lines or tax transactions are created for VAT reporting purposes. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Dear IFS experts,I have a question regarding manufacturing.How can we provide materials for a shop order that will be produced the next day (or on another future day)?Taking the following points into account:the sequence of the materials the location of the materialsIs that possible in IFS Cloud, and if so, how? Thank you in advance.

Hi,I simulated a test case in a test environment to investigate the difference between Shop Order Costs and Project Monitoring costs in IFS Cloud. The test case was as follows: Part A was added to project demand using request type Project MRP. A parent Shop Order was created for Part A, requiring 3 pcs of Part B. A child Shop Order was created for Part B to produce 3 pcs as project inventory. For the purpose of this test, I modified S of Part B by adding a high-cost component. This was done intentionally to make the cost flow and any differences between the child and parent Shop Orders clearly visible. There was no DOP connection between Part A and Part B. The child Shop Order was completed, and the 3 pcs were received into inventory. I then issued these 3 pcs directly from inventory to the parent Shop Order. Both Shop Orders were connected to the same project activity. The parent Shop Order was then completed. The costs shown in Shop Order Costs are: Child Shop Order B a

Hello everyone,I am currently testing Sales and Operations Planning in IFS Cloud and have successfully configured a basic Product Family and S&OP plan.So far I have:Created an MS Level 0 Product Family Created the Planning Structure linking MS Level 1 parts Created an S&OP plan Successfully copied forecast and supply data from MS Level 1 using Copy S&OP FamilyThe S&OP Grid is populated correctly and I can work with forecast and supply data.My next goal is to evaluate capacity using Sales and Operations Planning Load Analysis, but I am struggling to understand the required setup and prerequisites.When opening Sales and Operations Planning Load Analysis, the screen remains empty and I am not sure:What setup objects are required before Load Analysis can be used? Is a Resource Routing required on the Product Family or on the MS Level 1 parts? Does RRP need to be executed before data becomes available? How are Capacity Scenarios created and connected to S&OP? What is the

Hi everyone,I'm looking for a way to import opening inventory stock quantities into IFS Cloud using a Migration Job.Has anyone configured a Migration Job for this purpose? If so, could you share the procedure, or an example of the configuration?Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody,what could the problem be if I can’t find the cost center in the manual supplier invoice?The cost center is valid. Thank you in advance.

We are currently using PMs with Performed Date Based set to Yes. We have a customer scenario where this setting needs to be changed to No.Our plan is to enable Revision Control and make the change to the active PMs. However, these PMs already have work orders (WOs) generated, and the WOs are in different statuses.When we change Performed Date Based to No, the system adjusts the plan based on the Valid From date and Calendar criteria. In this concerned scenario, WOs have been generated for future maintenance periods as their lead time (30-day in below example). It looks like the system skips the months where the WOs are already in Finished status, as expected. However, it creates duplicate plan lines for months where a plan line already exists with an associated WO in Released status. Please help to understand the best options other than marking duplicated lines Generatable = No  

My organization has recently moved to IFS and i am hoping that there are a couple fleet managers out there that are managing multiple sites and equipment types and have some good insights into object hierarchies.  

Business Need / Current ChallengeWe currently maintain forecasts in Demand Planning using Combined Flows because planners forecast at an aggregate business level (product family, product code, customer group, etc.) and rely on Demand Planning to distribute demand to lower levels using established ratios.However, we have not found a standard method to bulk load or mass update Adjusted Demand directly into Combined Flows. Updating demand manually through Demand Client is extremely time-consuming and not scalable when hundreds or thousands of part/customer combinations are involved. QuestionsCan Adjusted Demand be imported directly into a Combined Flow? If yes, what is the recommended method? If no, what is the design rationale for this limitation? Does IFS provide a supported import, migration job, API, or interface to mass-update Adjusted Demand values at the Combined Flow level? What is the recommended approach for organizations that forecast at an aggregate level and need to bulk-lo

I was tasked with adding a new Custom Attribute to an existing Entity Configuration in our IFS Cloud 26 R1 Test environment as part of our preparation for upgrading from Apps 10 UPD 19 to Cloud 26 R1. This was also an opportunity for me to become more familiar with the process.I successfully added the Custom Attribute, but when attempting to publish it, I encountered the error shown in the screenshot below.To troubleshoot the issue, I have tried unpublishing the entity, disapproving the Custom Attribute, disapproving the Entity Configuration itself, and then reapproving and republishing everything. However, I continue to receive the same error.Has anyone encountered this issue before or know what might be causing it? I would appreciate any insight into the underlying cause of the error and the specific steps needed to resolve it.

Does anyone have any documentation regarding the IFS Freight Interface for Cloud 26 R1?Additionally, is Pacejet the only known third-party software solution compatible with IFS Cloud 26 R1, or are there alternative solutions available?

I am getting the attached error when trying to specify an Internal Supplier and Supplier Site.  The error seems to suggest that there are already Purchase Parts at this site connected to this Supplier.  Do the parts need to be set up differently or is this an issue with the Supplier set up?

I would like some help understanding the scope of Deprecation and Removal Plan (DARP) for Work Order Based Service. I want to start moving processes from “work order” based services to “request based” services, but we’d appreciate knowing exactly what’s coming before we start making big changes:To anyone who has more information on this, please help us with the following questions:1. Will Maintenance still rely on work orders and tasks for things like PM Actions / Programs and Plans after 27R1 with full support?2. Will Serial Objects, Functional Objects (EquipmentObjects) functionality ultimately remain the same after 27R1 with full support?3. Will we still have access to our historical work orders. In other words, will we still be able to pull up the historical work orders page and see what services we completed with all the basic data we currently have after 27R1?4. Will the MWO Service App remain the primary way can receive information from our techs at customer sites so long as the

Hello IFS Team,we are currently implementing Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) user and group provisioning for IFS Cloud using the SCIM interface.Our environment is operated as a managed service in Microsoft Azure. Each customer has its own Microsoft Entra tenant, while the IFS Cloud environment is hosted in a separate managed Azure tenant operated by us.During our design phase, we identified that the standard Microsoft Entra SCIM provisioning service typically requires the SCIM endpoint to be reachable by Microsoft's cloud-based provisioning service via public IP addresses. Microsoft also provides an alternative architecture based on the Microsoft Entra Provisioning Agent, which allows provisioning to SCIM-enabled applications located in private networks without exposing the SCIM endpoint to the Internet.We would like to understand whether the IFS Cloud SCIM implementation supports this scenario.Could you please confirm the following:Does IFS Cloud support SCIM provisioning through the Mi

Hello everyone,we are currently planning a new on-premise IFS Cloud High Availability installation.According to the IFS documentation, a customer-provided hardware or software load balancer must be used in front of the Middle Tier cluster. IFS does not provide a dedicated load balancer solution and the load balancer must support session stickiness. [docs.ifs.com], [docs.ifs.com]We are now evaluating possible options and would like to learn from other customers' experiences.Some questions:Which load balancer are you using with IFS Cloud HA? Are you using Citrix ADC, F5, NGINX, HAProxy or another solution? Is the solution vendor-supported in your environment? How long have you been running it in production? Have you experienced any issues with session stickiness, WebSockets, SSL termination or upgrades? Would you recommend your current setup?We are particularly interested in customer experiences from Europe, but feedback from all regions is highly appreciated.Thank you in advance for sha
