In the inter-site flow, the cancellation reason is not populating for the supply site customer order

Hi,In the inter-site flow, when an external customer order is in the release state and a particular order line is canceled along with a cancellation reason, the cancellation and cancellation reason will be updated in the internal purchase order of the demand site. However, only the cancellation reason will not be updated in the internal customer order at the supply site.There is another community post addressing the same issue below. I am raising this community post to consider this improvement for the future, as multiple customers have expressed the need for it.“In interstice flow not propagating the cancellation reason to the supply site | IFS Community’ Best regards,Vihan

Scheduling Outside Service Operations

Hi all, first question for the community...What are your best practices for scheduling outside service operations?In the middle of a routing we send a part to an outside vendor. We currently use machine run factor for example 40 hours to schedule the shop order to be outside for one week. Is there a way to schedule the start and end times for the operation based on the lead time loaded in Supplier For Purchase Part (for the OS part number)?Additional question, if the confirmed delivery date of the outside service purchase order is later or earlier than the scheduled time, can the scheduled operation reflect that change?Ty!

Release customer order _ no access

Hello All, In the creation of functional role and end user roles in the permission sets, I granted all access to the projection CustomerOrderHandling to  a functional role and then to an end user role. So I configurated the permission sets correctly, but after creating a customer order and adding a sales part with its quantity, I want to release the customer order but i get this message of permissions! Do you have an idea please about what could be the problem? thanks

Date Format in data import export

We are upgrading from FSM 5.5 to 6U27 so a big jump. We have noticed the date format required for import export is in the form below in 6U27 with the T character.In FSM 5.5, import export uses standard SQL date/time format.I can work around this using the below when preparing data however is there any option to use standard date time formats in the Import Export tool? The database holds the data without the ‘T’ so strange that the import export tool uses it. select product_id, CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), user_def_dttm1, 127) from product

When multiple valid agreements exist, default retrieve the agreement with the lowest ID to the customer order.

“When multiple valid agreements exist for the same customer, site and currency, the system will per default retrieve the agreement with the lowest ID to the customer order, and display this in the customer order header.” Is there any logic to selecting the lowest ID?

MS Forecast consumption for CO lines - due date vs ATP - Planned delivery date

Hi,I observed that MS forecast consumption for a CO is based on the Planned due date...However when I have enabled ATP for a MS planned part and when the Planned delivery date is changed in the CO , it doesn’t update the Planned Due Date.In some instances, this difference between the Planned Delivery Date and Planned Due dates can be a couple of weeks , even months.In such instances, it’s going to cause trouble if the forecast is consumed based on the Planned Due date for the CO instead of the Planned Delivery Date.I am trying to understand the relationship between ATP and forecast consumption, how are the functionalities aligned?What am I missing ?Appreciate if someone can shed some light in this area(I am working on 23R2) Kind RegardsYashodha

Mass upload of Legacy document numbers in Cloud

Good day community.We have a client that is implementing Cloud and need to migrate 10 000 plus documents from legacy, along with their existing document numbers.In Apps 10 it was possible to upload multiple files at once using the File Import screen. On here it was possible to change the document number to a legacy number when uploading new files In Cloud I believe the same can be done using Create Documents.However, it allows me to create documents and to enter Legacy Numbers  but once I save, it returns this error:  If I leave the number column blank, it generates the documents without issue, using the automatic numbers, which we don’t want. This is not Document Class related as the Create Document Assistant and creating Documents via Revisions allows me to change the number. The other option, Document Upload screen does not have an option to change the Document number. Is there something We’re missing or alternatively, how would we migrate the documents into Cloud using the legacy n

How can we ensure the security of our Bing map key to enable the proper functionality of VRTMAP? Additionally, could you address a few questions regarding the security concerns related to setting up the Virtual Map Key?

Hello,We are currently in the process of setting up a virtual map key (Bing Key) for the customer within our system. While we have successfully procured the Bing Key and integrated it into our system parameters, recent concerns have been raised regarding its security implications.The customer has expressed worries about the potential security risks associated with the current setup. Specifically, they have highlighted the fact that anyone with access to the system parameters could obtain the key and potentially misuse it. An example of this concern is illustrated by our utilization of the DEV key on the TEST environment, which functions properly but poses a significant security risk.In light of this, we are reaching out to inquire if there are any measures we can implement at the Bing Key level to enhance security. Is there a method by which we can apply security rules directly at the Bing level during the key generation process? Alternatively, would it be feasible to encrypt the key v

GP13 transaction puzzle

We try to understand the GP13 transactions that sometimes occur when we run the revenue recognition. In all our projects, we book the costs directly and calculate recognized revenue. From what I've read, GP13 is only used when calculating recognized costs (which we don't do).It seems that these transactions occur when a project goes from positive to negative profit margin but I can't see any logic in the amount that the GP13 transaction gives us.It happens that we run the revenue recognition several times after adjusting revenue/cost estimates. Is this a bug or is there a good reason for these transactions?

Backwards pegging in Shop Order

Hi,We are using IFS10 update 15.Basic setup is so, that we have warehouse in different site than manufacturing is. Customer orders are entered to warehouse site and MS level 1 part is active in warehouse site. If there is a need to manufacture more to warehouse, system creates Distribution order to manufacturing site. Also purchase order and customer order between the sites are created automatically. In manufacturing site, they create Shop Order and then they do ’backwards pegging’. Sometimes, there is that situation that DO receipt date is two weeks ahead but production has possibility to produce earlier (SO need date is earlier than DO receipt date) → when they do ‘backward pegging’ correctly to SO, Why DO date is not changing ?    If manufacturing is later than original DO receipt date, then DO date is updated correctly..

EventAndActionUtilities bug

My collegue has recently shown me an error in IEE stating that event action (ie. MWORKORDER_4_8) has an issue. When I got into PLSQL code of that I’ve copied the whole statement into Oracle SQL Developer and found an error on the line objversion_:= to_char(&NEW:ROWVERSION);  Obvious thing was to enclose &NEW:ROWVERSION in single quotes. So I’ve fixed that and a number of other events too.Some time later we’ve migrated TAS server and redeployed mWorkOrder_4_9_0.dll, browsing the same page we’ve got the same error text in IEE again. All these MWORKORDER event actions were regenerated having the same syntax error. Finally, I got to the source (/fndmob/source/fndmob/server/packages/MobileClientAdministration/ifs/application/mobileclientadministration/impl/EventAndActionUtilities.java) and found what’s causing this:      else if(OBJVERSION_FORMAT_NUMBER.equals(entity.objversionFormat.getValue())){         objVersionFormat = "to_char(&NEW:ROWVERSION)";Hense, no single quotes.
