Advance supplier invoice payments do not get automatically fetched to the Supplier Payment Proposals window. (RMB and Create Supplier Proposal in Supplier Payment Proposals window) Can we know whether this functionality would be available/considered in future developments of the IFS application? Note: Advance supplier invoice payments can be added to the supplier payment proposal manually from LOV.  

Hi Everyone,Thought this might be useful for anyone working with REST APIs in IFS Cloud. Since many of us use APIs for integrations, automation, and data access, I wanted to share a simple approach that combines the power of VS Code, Python, and IFS Cloud REST APIs.I’ve found this method very convenient because it provides the flexibility of Python development together with the productivity features of VS Code. More importantly, in the long run, this approach becomes:✅ Reusable✅ Shareable across teams✅ Easy to implement and extend✅ Object-Oriented (OOP-based)✅ Easier to maintain✅ Better for structured error handlingThis is especially useful if you are developing integration tools or reusable API utilities — not just for REST API testing.This example demonstrates how to:✅ Authenticate against IFS Cloud using OAuth2 Client Credentials✅ Obtain an access token✅ Call an IFS Projection endpoint using a GET requestFeel free to try it out and share your feedback. Also interested to know what t

Do we have a functionality in IFS to register charges/costs in Shipment Orders (no customer order link)? The company may use Courier service company (e.g uber) to move parts between different sites in the same company and the cost want to be registered.  Thank you!

Hello In group consolidation there are a number of GROCON posting controls  (ie. GCP1, GCP2, GCP3, GCP4, etc.) and we have assigned accounts to them. When we do group consolidation , the reports show amounts hitting those accounts.  Is there any way to drill down and see what is hitting those accounts (even if there are no actual vouchers being booked to those accounts)? We are seeing wild swings in the amounts hitting the GROCON accounts so we would like to know what is causing those swings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,I am using IFS Cloud 24R2. FNDMIG job using MIGRATE_SOURCE_DATA procedure.Does anyone know how to avoid the above error when migrating customer_order_line ?The DEFAULT_ADDR_FLAG has value ‘Yes’ and DEFAULT_ADDR_FLAG_DB has the value ‘Y’, but the error says it is NULL.ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [DEFAULT_ADDR_FLAG] is mandatory for Customer Order Line and requires a value.The source data will have  below values.Is something wrong with these values? Should we check on a value of another field in the data set for some validations?Your thoughts, experiences and suggestions to solve this issue is much appreciated.Thank you!

Hello, is there a way for users to add specific margin for travel expense to a project activity within the project screens? There appears to be a project basic data page where expense margin can be applied to a specific project and activity, but I don't see a place for users to add this within the project itself. A similar example is Specific Sales Price which can be setup on a centralized project basic data page OR on Project Setup Parameters in the Pricing tab.We would like our users to be able to stay within the project setup screens when adding expense margin to a specific activity rather than have to navigate to a different basic data screen to set this up. Thank you.

Hi IFS Community,I would like to ask if anyone has any examples of Multi-Site Project Deliverables solution in IFS Cloud? Therefore a customer who has a requirement for project traced manufacturing processes that cover complex design solution using IFS Project Deliverables?I'm running into process limitations (?) where I am not able to capture “Project production” on all Sites at the same time because the IFS Project can't cover the planned's planned cost twice (Internal Customer-Supplier Chain) - this makes sense, but not for the internal chain (?).I also wanted to ask about any business case and use of the "Override Site" param./field, on the level of Project Deliverables Component lines?It seems that with this setup I am able to initiate production at different Sites (without setting of Internal Customer-Supplier Chain), but the system does NOT solve how do I transport the manufactured/assembled part from Site A to Site B, where the Parent part will consume the semi-product; sub-ass

We have a project where the users sometimes run PMRP per Project PNG and sometimes PMRP for a specific activity. We have a problem to understand the logic regarding MTRs and how they are taken into consideration in these two PMRP jobs.Activity 1: Demand for 1 pc of Part A. No supply orders or On Hand Qty of Part A within activity 1.Activity 2: No demand for Part A. Started Shop Order Part A, lot size 1.They run “Perform PMRP per project PNG”Result: - MTR (connected to the started supply SO) is created to transfer Part A from activity 2 to activity 1. - No SO Req for Part A created in Activity 1 as the demand will be covered by the MTR.So far so good..But then, a couple of days later:They run “Perform Project MRP per Activity” for Activity 1.Result: - The MTR to transfer Part A from activity 2 to activity 1 is kept (not deleted by the PMRP per activity) -  AND a SO requisition for part A is created in activity 1 So the result is we have supply for Part A from a SO Req and also a MTR. We

I have a scenario where I want to create a credit invoice of 2 inventory sales parts and 1 non inventory sales part. The two inventory sales parts should also be returned, so an RMA is created. However IFS is also expecting me to return the non-inventory sales part even though there is no physical part to receive.  Anyone who has had the same scenario and have a good process?  I want all to be on the same credit invoice and having to create 2 different credit invoices and do collective seems as to much work. Is there a setting on the parts that can make a part obsolete from the whole register arrival proces? 

According to the deprecation log here:  Crystal Reports integration is planned to be removed entirely from IFS Cloud with the 25R1 release.Can we get a comment on whether this is just a plan, or if it is definitely going to happen.We have a number of customers who have a large number of Crystal Reports, used for both Quick and Operational Reports.  If this is going to be removed they face a huge amount of rework based on this.  It is going to put Customers off upgrading to Cloud for sure.What are IFS suggesting is used to replace these Crystal reports that businesses have come to rely on over the years they have been IFS Customers?

Dear All, I am learning more about Permits and Isolation Orders but I run into a weird phenomenon that I can’t seem to explain. I created some basic data (Permit Type, Isolation Type, Isolation Template, Allowed Connections Permit/Isolation...).From there I created a Work Task Template and connected a Permit Type and Isolation Template ID to the work task template, selected ‘YES’ for the ‘Generate’ Column. And I activated the Work Task Template. Next I wanted to see the effects when creating a new Work Order. So I started from ‘New Fault Report’ with a random Object and selected ‘Earliest Start’ and ‘Latest Finish’ date. After that I used ‘Jobs and Templates’ to select my Work Task Template. That was correctly ingrated and my permit was copied into the Work Order. I dod however notice that the ‘Valid From’ and ‘Valid To’ date of my permit did not match the ‘Earliest Start’ and ‘Latest Finish’ date. Rather, the “Valid From Date” seems to be set to the sysdate at the moment of creation a

Hi All, Question about setting a structure of connected objects ‘Out of Operation’.  We have various methods of connecting our Functional and Serial Objects:Main Structure (‘Function’ = Parent / Child connection) Additional Structures (Location /From / TO / Process / Process / Pipesystem / Electrical) Connected Objects With the Main structure we can set the Operational Status of the entire Parent-Child tree to ‘Out of Operation’ using the action button ‘Operational Status’ > ‘Set Structure Out of Operation’  When I check the other Object Structures, that function does not seems to be present. I can set the selected Object in ‘Out of Operation’, but to disable the objects connected through the ‘Electrical’ structure, I need to select them as well and click ‘Out of Operation’ again. And if I want to continue down the path I have to click ‘Next level’ to go deeper into the structure. Is there no option to set the entire structure to ‘Out of Operation’?  When I take it when step further

Hi,We have an assortment with parts that are set to be refilled with Shipment Order:  If we select “Receive into Inventory” for the Remote Warehouse in the Receive Case, it works fine, but obviously, the parts arrived in the picking inventory location as soon as the shipment is delivered.The business would prefer it if the parts were first in a sort of transit state as they want the remote warehouse operator (the remote warehouses are typically work vans and the operators are the van drivers and they use IFS MWO Service) to confirm receipt of the delivery (this must happen in the mobile device) before the parts are made available in the remote warehouse.We cannot use Transport Tasks with move to transit option as the main warehouse absolutely requires the use of “Pick by Choice” which is only available from a shipment (hence Shipment Orders).We tried to use “Receive into Arrival” in the Receive Case. When the shipment is completed, the parts arrive into the arrival location and they ca

Dear All,We would like to raise a request regarding the copy/paste functionality for posting lines in Posting Proposals.Starting from version 24R2, the copy/paste functionality was disabled by IFS on transactional pages in order to prevent potential data inconsistencies when copying and pasting data within these screens.Initially, IFS communicated that a possible reintroduction of this functionality was planned for future product enhancement, without any confirmed delivery timeline.More recently, IFS development team confirmed that a fix has been implemented specifically for posting lines in Posting Proposals, and that this functionality will be available again starting from version 26R1. It just took us 3 months + to upgrade from 23R2 to 25R2.We went live on 25R2 3 weeks ago.CVE and our accountant key-users cannot afford to start a new Release Update process with 26R1 to get this functionality back.This functionality that was existing in 23R2 and now missing in 25R2 is critically need

My user created training videos for Aurena a couple weeks ago. He re-watched it and noticed that Aurena used to have forward and back buttons in the top navigation but now it does not. Did anyone else noticed that their forward/back buttons disappeared? and has there been an update or is this a bug?

Hi all, I noticed that the Heavy Cleanup job is taking over 10 hours in our IFS10 environment - so despite it starting just after midnight, it will still be running when we start in the mornings.What is a “normal” execution time for this job? And is there anything we can look at to have this improved?

What are the consequences or risks if we hide certain field views from the global context via visible checkbox? Is that recommended way or do you have a better suggestion?We would like to hide certain fields from view so that page visitors do not see all the content on the page. 

When I create an invoice, The CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP_REQUEST section was generated as the first section in the XML, in accordance with the schema.That is no longer the case.The PDF is generated, which is fine, but the problem is that I can no longer display a preview in the Report Designer, because an error message appears:“The current schema doesn't seem to match the specified file, render anyway?”But when I answer yes, nothing happens. We use Cloud 25R2
