Hello, I was hoping to dynamically change the signature based off the user id in report studio. I was looking through the documentation and found a DB Image function. This is the syntax: DBImage(‘report_logo_’,’image_data’,’item_id=[ItemID]’) When I tried it with this: DBImage('report_signatures','IMAGE' ,'image_name=JONEIL.jpg'), it took the syntax but it doesn’t work. I was wondering if there was something I was missing? Could this also be utilized for customer orders? For example, let’s say I wanted to print the signature of the salesperson. Could that function be utilized? Thank you. 

Hi,When creating a New Supplier Payment Proposal, it is including suppliers with the incorrect payment methods.We only want suppliers with BACS payment methods, but we need POAs included.IFS is picking up POAs on suppliers that do not have the BACS payment method.Is there any other parameters in the background that would need to be set to prevent this from happening?This worked correctly until we installed an update on our IFS system.Thank you,John

When trying to approve Project Transactions in IFS Cloud. If I select all of the transactions (960) and click Approval for Cost Accounting I get this error.

Hello,I am looking to see if there are any column level definitions in any of the IFS documentation for fields like C1, C2 and N1, N2 etc that can be found on tables/views like Invoice_Item_Tab.I found some defitions for Invoice Header and Invoice_Line under the EDI messages page but nothing for the Invoice Item.https://ifstestcloud.xxxxxxxxx.com/ifsdoc/documentation/en/default.htm?openpage=https://ifstestcloud.xxxxxxxxx.com/ifsdoc/documentation/en/GeneralIFSApplications/AboutEDIMessages.htm (I replaced our local instance name with xxxxx)Is there a place where I can find these?Thank you

Version: IFS Cloud 23R2 Employee is having valid schedule. Absence Type MDL001 is configured as ‘Calendar Days’When applying this leave for half day (with either First half or Second half), it is doing wrong calculation.It is calculating Absence Duration as 0.17 Calendar Days, however it should be 0.5 days. Employee schedule is 8 hours; however system is doing calculation based on 4 hours/ 24 hours = 0.1666 days. There is another absence ‘Annual Vacation’ which is configured as ‘Working Days’, for that system is calculating half day leave correctly.The issue is happening when Absence is configured based on ‘Calendar Days’.Anyone has any idea about this issue? Please provide resolution, if you are aware.ThanksVikas Jain

Scenario:I’d like to maintain a list of “Trade Shows” basic data with a status of active/inactive, and have a LOV only show the active records to pick from. Similar functionality to hiding/blocking coordinators, etc in other areas of IFS Cloud.  I have a custom entity with two columns:Column 1: Trade show (String)Column 2: Status (CustomEnum: Active/Hidden) On the Sales Lead entity (Business Lead), i have created a custom attribute that references the custom table. In my page designer, i’d like to add this field as a LOV, and have the LOV filter to show only the records where status = Active. I have found this page: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r1/040_tailoring/225_configuration/200_client_configurations/310_conditional_fields/200_filter_enumeration_values/But it doesn’t cover my exact scenario. Is this functionality possible to do without a customization? If not, is it possible to just Hard Code the values that i want to see manually?For reference, I am on 23R1.8

We have a availability control on parts in one warehouse.  The availability control is set to Nettable, not auto reservation, not manual reservation, not order issue, scrapable, allow reducing (on Part Counting Control), all allowed for part movement control and non-order issue.  For some reason we can’t create a cycle count report for this warehouse location.  It looks like it is due to the availability controls on the part but I need to verify that is the case.  Can anyone confirm my suspicion or help me figure out why these will not pull on a cycle count report.  We used not counted in zero days to generate the report.  We are in IFS Apps 10 UPD21.

Hello,In our current IFS Cloud 25R1 setup, we have noticed that the standard expense process works as follows: The employee submits the expense sheet. The line manager reviews and approves it. The finance team must then authorize the expense sheet before it can proceed to payment. For our business process, once the line manager approves an expense, we would like it to be ready for payment without requiring the authorization step.My questions are: Is there any configuration setting in IFS Cloud 25R1 that allows us to remove or bypass the finance authorization step entirely? If not, has anyone implemented a workaround such as a custom event, workflow modification, or any other tailoring to achieve this? Are there any risks or limitations we should be aware of if we remove this step? Any guidance, examples, or documentation references would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Can anyone provide me information on how to modifiy the existing Operational report definations (RDF) in IFS 7.5 ?The requirement is I need to add new field to the Invoice report. (IFS report designer report) Thanks in advance! Regards,Mahendra

We’ve successfully set up the expenses module in the HCM, and it’s functioning as intended. The challenge lies on the Finance side, specifically with allocating expense payments and managing posting controls. Ideally, we’d like to assign each expense to the employee’s name or ID number, but there doesn’t appear to be an option to bulk add employees — they have to be added manually one by one. Is there any way around this? We want to avoid having to add/remove an employee every time there is movement within the workforce.
