Q&A Discussion of IFS Solutions for our IFS Employees, Partners and Customers

We would like to raise a formal product correction request regarding the Site Cluster/Structure page in IFS Cloud. The current client behavior does not support drag-and-drop repositioning of nodes and connected sites within the Site Cluster hierarchy, although this interaction pattern has been available in earlier IFS versions and is aligned with the expected maintenance behavior for hierarchical structures.This limitation has a direct operational impact on our customer, who performs frequent structural reorganizations of sites within existing Site Clusters as part of ongoing supply chain, distribution, and master data governance activities. Without drag-and-drop support, users are forced to rely on more manual and time-consuming maintenance steps to re-sequence or relocate nodes in the hierarchy, which reduces administrative efficiency, increases the risk of configuration errors, and negatively affects daily business operations.From a technical and usability perspective, this appears
I have seen a lot of discussion on this topic. Many of them seem dated over a year ago up to 3 years ago. We have a requirement to bill monthly on a fixed day and rate per month. Has functionality been enhanced to include a monthly rental duration UoM. Also what is the best way to handle this? We are in ifscloud version 24R2. Thank you,Ed
Problematic:In APB, we have the ability to remove the setup time for 2 consecutive shop orders of the same PART_NO.APB > Settings > Setup Optimization > Use part number only In Cloud, we now have the ability to schedule from the Shop Order Operations window. But when scheduling 2 consecutive Shop Orders of the same Part_No, IFS doesn’t allow us to do any Setup Optimization without using the Setup Matrix. Proposed Solution:Like in APB, we would like to have the ability to select a Setup Optimization option to remove setup time for consecutive shop orders of the same Part_no.
Problematic:In Shop Order Operations, we have the ability to create Operation Blocks. Each Blocks could be scheduled individually. At some point the first operation attached to an Operation Block will be in production and will get fully produced. Therefore the first operation(s) and Shop Order of an Operation Block will get closed and the following operations of the Operation Block are still to be produced. The issue we are facing is that IFS will not let you schedule an Operation Block having a Closed Shop Order. We have to manually disconnect the closed operations of the Operation Block and then Schedule the Operation Block. Proposed Solution:We would like to be able to Schedule an Operation Block even if closed operations or closed Shop Orders are attached to an Operation Block. In this instance, only the non closed or cancelled Shop Orders/Operations would be Scheduled within that Operation Block.
I’m building out a project status tracking workflow and looking for the cleanest way to use the "asset placed in service" action as a trigger event. The goal is to automatically flag a project (using the second category field with a custom basic data field like “closeout” or something similar) as moving from active execution into the closeout phase once assets associated with it have been put into service, since that's typically when physical work is complete and only financial reconciliation remains.A few questions for anyone who's done something similar:Is the "place in service" action exposed as an event we can subscribe to? if not, what would be the best way to create a custom event for this? Is there a standard table/field combination that reliably captures the in-service date and the user who performed the action? Currently in IFS Cloud 24R2
Does anyone have experience or an explanation of how to utilize and use the Manufacturing Tool/Equipment function? We are considering whether this is something we can use in connection with a production where we use forming tools. The idea is that we need to register which forming tools we use in a Shop Order.Cloud, 25R1SU08
Is there a separate permission set for IFS NotifyMe (IFS Cloud 25R2 SU3)? When trying to connect i’m getting an error ODATA_PROVIDER_ERROR.
I have created a Scheduled Report from a Quick Report and set it to email myself however it will not execute. It hasn’t automatically created a background job for it either. Am I missing something?
HiWhen we do an Engineering Revision Transfer our manufacturing site complain that data in the product structure is being overwritten.They have entered data in column “Consumption Item”. Some parts they have set as “Consumed” and some parts in the same structure have been set as “Not Consumed”.However, when we do the transfer, all parts are changed to “Consumed” which is quite annoying.Also data as Scrap factor and Reserve/Issue from Loc are being overwritten.Can anybody tell me how we can prevent this overwriting of data?Best regardsTove Virkelyst
I want to close the project for that we want ETC value =0 , we checked with technical from backend its already zero but in fronend showing value.
Hi everyone!I have a question about the project Gantt chart.Is it possible to hide or exclude certain activities from the project’s critical path calculation?Right now, I’m using an activity to capture revenue from my sales contract, and its duration is based on the project dates. In the Gantt chart, this activity appears as “critical.” In a way, that makes sense — but it’s not the behavior I’m expecting.Any idea to manage that ? Thanks and regards,Maud
The search bar in the view Business Opportunity Pipeline does not seem to work. None of the searchable cells have an impact on the kanbanboard and the visible kanbancards.
HiIs there any way to get code string completion to affect even rows where the project code contains the Scandinavian characters å, ä, or ö?
Working with a purchase part that has two part revisions, 1 and P1. Each revision is phased in on the same date (6/3/25). On the Purchase Order line, though, I cannot select revision P1. The only revision I can select is revision 1.Is there any way, outside of document text, to specify a prototype revision on a purchase order line?
IFS Environment: Apps 10 UPD14.I created a Boomi process that uploads a file into the document attachment section in IFS.This was done using the Boomi HTTP Client connector using method PATCH. I was wondering if this could also be done using the Boomi IFS Aurean connector?Projection: CreateAndImportDocument Object: EdmFileSet
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.
Community,We are on APP10/UPD9, We are using Create Repair Work Order Assistant to create repair work order when it is requested. One thing quite annoying is, Work Type is automatic fetched into Repair Work Order and we must manually enter both on header and task level.For normal work order or service request, we are using Service Contract so system auto fetch the work type to work order.Kindly advise where we could set up default work type for Repair Work Order?Thank you.
Does anyone have a list of the LTU’s available for IFS Cloud?
Hi,I’m trying to create a object connection with a work order from incident management connected objects screen.However when I click on object connections it takes me to Active work order screen but no record appear. Is this a bug or has anyone experience something similiar to this. Thank you for your help
Hello,I created a purchase order for subcontracting and would like to allocate my costs to the shop order. I’m doing this using “outside operation costs” by entering a percentage, but my client would like to see the exact amount of the costs that they added to the subcontracting purchase order.Could you please help me?
Our company uses work order and work task processes. We typically use one work order with one work task. A user has changed the work task status to Work Started and is now unable to change back to Released (it was changed in error and for our flow needs to be in Released status and update a value in the Work Stage which is how we’ve overcome the lack of work task status). The work task in question has a connected Maintenance Purchase Requisition which is Closed Status. This was used to create a part requisition line for an external service purchase order which is in released status. This error message is received when attempting to change the status back on the Work Task or Work Order. ERROR: It is not possible to initiate a Tender flow when one of more connected Work Tasks are in status Released or above.Turned on debug console and found the error is due to WORK_ORDER_REQUIS_HEADER_API starting at line 1379 where it’s attempting to use Get_Create_Rfq. Reviewed this function and search
Customer would like to know if it is possible to automatically blocked an order when the advance payment was not fully paid but after the reservation. The idea is to manually reserve a lot but blocked for shipment until fully paid advance invoiced. Seem pretty basic to me, but IFS seem to fall short on that.
Hello everyone,I've noticed some unusual behavior in the system regarding the calculation of the difference between the invoice price and the standard cost when I enter a purchase invoice linked to a subcontracting purchase order:I am creating a purchase order for subcontractingThe configuration of the item to be received is as followsThe cost of the item to be received is as followsThe purchase price is therefore different from the standard cost I receive my order, and the following journal entries are generatedWhen entering the invoice, the difference between the standard cost and the purchase price yields a result that does not match the transaction: 6784.81 - 1366.58 = 5418.23. Is this normal? What does this difference of 0.0100 represent? And yet, in a non-subcontracting transaction, the calculation is correct. It’s only with subcontracting purchase transactions that the calculation yields an odd amount.
Is there anyone that happen to have some sort of instruction to set up Camt o53 files handling? and how to execute / use the file/ function? Using IFS 9 update 10
Hi All Has anyone experienced detailed remittance information requirements for ACH payments? We are trying to use the ISO20022 payment format for ACH payments in the US, and our bank suggested using detailed remittance information. How can we achieve this in IFS?
