We have come across the above requirement from our recent customers implementing IFS Cloud. The requirement in detail is the ability to add Authorization Type = Position into Authorization Groups and not just individual authorizers as per the current functionality. Although IFS has the ability to incorporate positions into purchase authorization, in the current functionality, a position is only possible to be included in an Authorization Routing Template as a Step where only that position is able to be added but not several within one Step.The reasons for this requirement are that,The maintenance cost of Authorization Groups with individuals is high specially when it comes to a large organization with many divisions/departments with many personnel with authority to approve purchases. Whenever a person leaves or joins the company, the relevant groups need to be updated.  Several different positions should be eligible to authorize the purchase and

Hi All, We are having numerous instances where the application goes down almost once every day. The usual error that we see preceding the middleware or the database services going down is “PlsqlapServer.ERRPING: No response from MWS server [MAIN]”.

Any pointers on what we could check? Thanks,Nitin Kadam

Hi,We have a requirement where we need to have authorization steps that are not dependent on each other in PR authorization routing. would really appreciate if any experience on this can be shared.The business requirement is that there are cases where certain authorizers can authorize without waiting for another but the sequential authorization routing blocks this.If we can make one of the below examples work in IFS that would help Example 1 : Suppose there are 5 authorization steps. Step 2 and 3 are not dependent on each other. So the the requirement is that both are completed in any order before proceeding to step 4Step 1 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 2Step 2 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 4Step 3 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 4Step 4 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 5Step 5 : Final step Example 2 : Suppose there are 4

I have created:Sales Process Template  Sales Process - Process IDHowever due to a change in naming convention I wanted to delete a Sales Process from the CRM & SRM basic data - I have not used the Sales Process on a Business Opportunity, but I get the following error: Am I just being  numpty? The Rm Proc Process “name of Sales process” is used by 7 rows in another object (Rm Proc Stage).   I have removed all the Action IDs per Stage ID and, but I am unable to delete this Sales Process as it is linked to the Sales Process Template - where the 7 rows are.  I am using the Sales Template so do not want to get rid of that. Is there a way to delete this Sales Process in the basic data as I hate untidy basic data?

Hello community.  Looking for input on any experiences and resolutions with port exhaustion on the FSM web client.  We are running FSM6u25 and have seen a recent spike in occurrences of failure of the web client due to port exhaustion.  In the most recent occurrence, we had the # of ports set to 16,384 and now have increased them to 20,384 in hopes of providing some relief while we work on the root cause.  Any feedback is appreciated.Thanks,Richard

I’m curious if anyone using the FSM6 Web Client (u25) has any tips or recommendations on how to resolve significant response delays when users are navigating between screens, running searches, saving transactions.  We are currently working through some infrastructure recommendations following a ‘health check’ but wondering if anyone has identified or implemented any specific changes to help improve responsiveness.

We are considering use of the MWO (Mobile Work Order) processing for our Maintenance Engineers. We’d like to install the app on their phones. But first we would like to find out if it's used by other companies and if this is a reliable solution. Has anyone used MWO? Has it proved reliable? We use IFS9 and have about 50 Maintenance Engineers who work at our plants so they'd be connecting via WiFi from their phones. We have fairly extensive knowledge of IFS and use it quite widely.

Hello, I have the following scenario and would like your advice about it:2 intercompanies involved - Primary and subsidiary company involved in non stock parts.The primary company created a customer order and generates the purchase order to the subsidiary company. Following several links on IFS, if a company starts from a customer order, the following happens:3 companies are involved:1 external CO generates1 Internal Purchase order and 1 Internal CO. For intercompany flow between 2 companies, it starts with the following:1 internal PO generates 1 internal CO. In my case it involves a transaction between 2 internal companies and it starts from a customer order. Is it feasible ? Thanking you for your feedback. BRLakshmi
