I have a user on my team that, when opening an EXCEL_MIGRATION job on a spreadsheet, gets the results where the “Result Column” is created but left outside the Excel Table, like this: odd results from the user In spite of that, if I do exactly the same steps this executing, I end up with a table where the “Result Column” is included: it works for meAt first I thought something was wrong with the Job configuration, but having confirmed this cannot be replicated in my computer (and it also worked fine for a 3rd user who tried it...) I am more inclined to believe this is an Excel issue on this user’s machine. Has anybody experienced this behavior, and if so, can you tell me what can be causing this? Thanks!
Hello,We are getting an error message about a cost bucket that we have set up, but have never really used in the past. We have it set up on one site but the error message says we need that same cost bucket set up on another site because inventory is being transferred between the two. When I try add cost bucket 111 (the one suddenly being used) I am getting an error ‘’Ids in the range of 0-999 for cost elements and Cost Buckets are reserved for future use’’. I am trying to figure out how to tell what is calling for cost bucket 111. Nothing on the part seems to be pulling to that cost bucket and I’m stuck in the error messages. Does anyone happen to know where I should look to see why cost bucket 111 is suddenly being used? Thanks!
A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionThe event NEXT_AUTH_PUR_REQ_LINE has an event action PurchReqLineApproval (Email), which sends an email notification to authorisers for purchase requisition lines that need approval.In the email body, details such as Requisition No, Line No, Part No, and Step No are included. However, when authorisers receive this email, they must manually open the relevant page, apply filters, and locate the exact record. This process is time consuming and requires additional manual effort.Therefore, customers are seeking a solution to include a hyperlink in the email body, allowing users to directly open the relevant record in IFS Cloud. This would significantly improve efficiency and reduce manual work.B. Context and scope1) Who is affected?Customers2) FrequencyFrequentlyC.

Dear community,When several Fixed Asset Objets are created at Purchase Order release, does anyone know how to retrieve the link between the PO lines and the connected Fixed Assets ?On PO lines, we can identify the FA objet No when 1 FA objet is created, in the Code F or G field. However when multiple FA objets are created this field is blank.Does anyone knows if a view contains this information ?Our client is using in IFS Cloud 25R2. Thank you very much !
Is it possible to define which column and which order a table is sorted in, when that screen is opened ? In Apps 10, you could save a search and specify which sort to sort and order by. I can’t see any way to do this in Cloud 23R2.
Hi all,We are using IFS Cloud 25R2 and have an external web API that is called from an IFS workflow.When using the standard IFS authentication setup, the workflow can call the external API successfully. The workflow uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials, retrieves a token, and passes the request to the external API without issue. This has been tested successfully both in Postman and from within IFS.However, when switching the environment to use Entra as the identity provider, the workflow fails when trying to retrieve the OAuth token. The error returned is:I have tried setting the IAM client / service account so that it does not use the external IDP, with the intention of reverting to the previous/basic authentication behaviour, but I still receive the same error.I have also started looking at whether this is related to the OAuth scope. As part of that, I have attempted to register the external API in Entra and use the Application ID URI with /.default as the scope, but this has not resolv

Hi all, I created a custom screen for the 'TASK_ATTACHMENT' table, as well as for the 'ATTACHMENT' table. I added an 'ATTACHMENT' column and selected a user-defined field (user_def_num1). The idea is to link it to a specific attachment ID. However, I can’t get it to work. It won't find the attachment. Has anyone created something similar before?
Working with a customer who is using MSP to replace the gantt chart in IFS. They are currently happy with what it provides for them, but would like to be able to update the Responsible Person per activity directly from MSP itself. When you change the responsible person in IFS it is replicated in the import to MSP but uncertain if we can do the reverse. Has anyone encountered this?
IFS Cloud. Rental object was assigned to the wrong project for a past period. Cost is sitting on the wrong project. Source reversal is blocked because the equipment is already out on a new rental on a different project (can't "return" it).Two options on the table:1. Project transaction pair with a dedicated Reclass-type Report Code: credit wrong project, debit destination. Produces a T voucher pair, keeps project ledger and GL aligned.2. Pure analytical GL posting: manual voucher correcting the code-string dimensions only. Doesn't touch the project ledger.Which do you use in production, and why? Anything I should watch out for if I go the Report Code route?
Hi, I have Project Misc Demand on an Activity, which I used to create and receive material in against a PO. Now I have material within the Project Inventory. I created a Work Order & Work Task connected to this activity. I then created a Material Req on the Work Task (Supply Code Project Inv) and reserved and issued the part on the Work Task. I was expecting the Project Misc Demand to also show a quantity issued of 1 but it’s still showing in Project Misc Demand Issued Quantity of 0. Is this expected behaviour? Do I need to manually (or automate) the issuing of project misc demand, even if it’s been issued on a connected work task? Thank you
Go to register arrivals and filter by "Source Ref Type" equal to "Return Material Authorization" and click search.Choose any one of them and click "Receive Parts against Order Deliveries". A pop up window appears and you can choose which material and quantity you want to return.It doesn't matter if you choose the quantity on the RMA or less than the quantity on the RMA, it give you the error shared below.
With use IFS 25R2. We are struggling to understand how and when the LotBatchMaster table gets populated, and we are facing situations where we expect records to exist but find nothing. Situation 1 — Customer Order delivery : We manually reserved specific lot numbers against a customer order line, and the delivery was completed successfully. We can see the inventory transactions in the transaction history. However, when we open the Part Lot Batch page and filter by article or by lotNo., no record appears for these lots. We would expect to see entries with Order Type = Customer Order.Situation 2 — Return Material Authorization : We processed a customer return (RMA). During the receipt of the returned goods, we specified the lot numbers of the items being returned (in order to have the same lot No of the Costumer Order line). The receipt was completed successfully. Again, when we open Part Lot Batch, no record appears for these returned lots. We would expect entries with Order Type = Retu
Hi all,I’m interested in how others are handling communication and notes on expense claims within IFS.We’re currently on Apps10 (Aurena) and migrating to IFS Cloud, and we’re reviewing how best to manage information sharing during the expense approval process.We often have situations where additional context would really help, for example: Receipt requested or missing Coding needs clarification Special conditions or agreed exceptions Explaining delays in approval or processing At the moment, I’m not aware of a way of capturing this information within IFS that is visible and consistent for: The next approver in the workflow Finance teams reviewing the claim The employee who submitted it What I’d like to understand How are others managing this in practice? What approach do you use to capture and share this kind of information within expense claims? Is this handled using standard functionality or something more tailored? How do you ensure the information is visible and act

Hello IFS Community,I exported a layout from the IFS CFG environment on the Report Definition page. It’s a working layout that I previously modified and now need to update. However, when I try to open it in IFS Report Designer (connected to the CFG environment), the PDF does not open.I haven’t made any changes yet. Even when I try to open layouts that I had successfully modified before, the PDF still does not open.Has anyone experienced this behavior or know what might be causing it?As shown in the screenshot below, I am connected to the CFG environment.
Hi Community,A customer has changed their Financial year from July (July to June) to January (January to December). Due to this reason, in accounting year 2023, they have had a 18 month financial year. In IFS, for accounting year 2023, the periods start from July 2023 and goes till December 2024. Accounting year 2024 starts from January 2025 and goes till December 2025. Therefore, the accounting year and accounting periods have a misalignment.Customer wants to get the accounting year and the accounting periods aligned starting 2027.Therefore, accounting year 2026 has been created as follows. Having only 1/1/2027 as the year opening and closing dates. Then accounting year 2027 as follows. Validity periods starting from 2/1/2027. I managed to conduct the Preliminary Year End. Currently working on performing the Final Year End.Can there be any issues related to this correction in 2027? Your inputs will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Kind Regards,Nishani
Hi All,I am encountering an error in Cash Plan when running the "Order Snapshot" option.The system is prompting me to define payment terms for multiple suppliers under a specific company. However, these suppliers have no active transactions and no business relationship with this company.Could you please clarify if we are required to link all companies to all suppliers to resolve this error, or if this is a system bug?Thanks
This seems like a basic request but I cannot find any way to achieve this inside IFS (Apps10).If we have a part shortage, how can we generate a list of all top level parts (manufactured units) that this part could go into?With a lot of manual work/expanding of assemblies we can get there using the Complete Where Used and Component Where Used screens, but we have to expand all of the multiple level sub-assemblies in order to find all of the top level parts that are impacted.Surely there has to be a better, quicker way to identify just a simple list of top level units (final assembly) that would require a specific part?
Hi Everyone,We have a customer using the Test Data Management tool, and they currently have a quota of two environments.We have already approved and created a QA environment, and we now need to create two DEV environments. Before proceeding, we would like to confirm whether creating the new DEV environments could have any impact on the data in the existing QA environment.Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,Hope someone has a good idea for my following case:Two advance invoice were sent to customer and paid(1000aud) in full. After that, the customer order quantity was decreased.The shipment was sent and the last invoice was created(900aud), cupia generated automatically -100aud via offset. In this case, customer has overpaid. Could anyone please guide me how to handle this open cupia?Thanks,
Hello,I tried using a by-product in the product structure together with Cost Distribution (for example, 20% of the operation cost distributed to the by-product and the remaining 80% to the main product).I then received the parts from a Production Schedule line. The system correctly received both the main product and the by-product, but the Cost Distribution setting from the product structure did not seem to be applied. The costs were still calculated according to the standard cost defined in the Estimated Material Cost for each part.Do you know whether this functionality is supposed to work when receiving parts from a Production Schedule line, or is it only supported for Shop Orders?Thanks for your help.Kind regards,David Dočkal
