Hi, all. We are currently in project for implementing IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance.We need to set up the ECCN(Export Control Classification Number) on part master and control on the system to comply US EAR regulation but we could not find the appropriate field to output on shipping document. Could somebody advise us if there is appropriate field for ECCN? Thanks,Tomoya
Dear community,I need your help regarding the export control module as something is not clear for me.If I well understood, each part that are export-controlled needs to be identified, classified and approved in the part catalog. In addition to this, for purchased parts, the classification must also be done in the supplier for purchased part.Why is this required ? because what is troubling me is that we must maintain manually the same information on 2 different windows. And so, it can generates discrepancies if we forget to update one value on one or the other screen.Am I wrong ? or I’ve been missing out on…Thanks for your help
How can IFS process a DESADV message in Incoming Dispatch Advice that contains a full packing structure of handling units from a 3rd party external supplier? How do we create these handling units in the system and process them with the supplier's labels?We are implementing IFS Cloud 26R1 and have suppliers that send an Advance Ship Notice (ASN / DESADV) via EDI before the physical delivery. The DESADV includes a full packing hierarchy: individual parts are packed into boxes, boxes are stacked on pallets, and each level carries a barcode. We want IFS to:1. Read the packing hierarchy from the DESADV and create the corresponding handling units automatically (no manual HU creation at the dock).2. Retain the supplier's handling unit numbers on the handling units encoded in the barcode so we can scan them at the dock without any relabeling3. Process the receipt using those handling units.Is this supported natively in IFS Cloud 26R1, and what does the configuration and process look like?

The parent part of the shop order is weighted average.So, if I understand the weighted average costing logic correctly, OOREC has taken the current inventory value of the pa

Hi everyone,I have some general questions regarding how MSO handles shop order and operation statuses.As far as I understand, MSO mainly considers shop orders in Planned status. However, the Planned status only exists on the shop order header level, while MSO schedules the individual operations. This is where I am currently a bit confused, especially regarding the interaction between the shop order status and the operation status.My questions are:When material is reserved, the shop order header status changes to Reserved. How does MSO handle these shop orders? Are they still considered for scheduling/rescheduling, or are they treated differently?When material is issued, the shop order header status changes to Started. What is the expected MSO behavior in this case?Also, what happens if an operation has already been started, but material has not yet been reserved or issued? How should MSO handle such a scenario?From my understanding, operations that have already been started should not
The Expression Builder and SQL Function Support in Query Designer, introduced with IFS Cloud 25R2, are game‑changers for anyone working with queries. Instead of writing custom SQL or depending on external tweaks, you can now build queries directly combining attributes, static values, operators, functions, and even groups all inside a simple drag‑and‑drop interface.Why You’ll Love ItBuild queries without coding. Mix and match attributes, static values, functions, and operators. Validate and preview your expressions instantly. Keep it simple with up to five operands/operators per expression. Organize smarter with groups to structure your logic. What You Can UseExpression Builder supports:Static Values → e.g., 'ACTIVE', 'BLOCKED', numeric thresholds. Attributes → like FirstName, LastName, Country, CreationDate. Functions → SUBSTR, ROUND, TRUNC, TO_CHAR, TO_NUMBER, SYSDATE. Operators →Concatenation ( ||), Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Division (/), Multiplication (*). Groups → to combine
We have come to discover that we have no meaningful way to manage the roll-out of the mobile app IFS MWO Maintenance. Since the iOS version comes from the Apple Store and the Windows version comes from the Microsoft App store, they just appear randomly on devices without any chance to vet the apps and keep all devices on the same version. Nor is there any mechanism in either store or from IFS directly to get any advance notification of upcoming version releases. There also appears to be no way of reviewing version releases with the associated release dates (not as important but still could be helpful if something breaks). I guess the assumption from all parties in this process is that newer is always better, but what if it is not? By the time we discover a bug, many of our devices will have the new release with no way to back-level the version. Does anyone else out there see this a potentially problematic?
Attendance note are available in IFS APP10 as follows and they can be visible in time card as well. How does this work in IFS Cloud? Is it still available?
Good morning. I have heard (but never experienced myself) that some french IFS users are not able to generate the FEC file required by french tax administration due to size issues, as if a size limit would be exceeded.(FEC = “Fichier des Ecritures Comptables” = full list of accounting vouchers for one year) Could someone tell me the truth about this issue in recent IFS Releases, 24R1 or newer ?(Is there a limit in size or number of rows for the FEC ? Or do the users face technical issues like a timeout when generating the FEC ? Are there possible IFS settings to optimize FEC generation ? other workaround possibilities ?) Best regards.

A customer in USA is trying to use ACH payment with Citi Bank. ISO20022 method is used in IFS Cloud 24R2.this is supported as per below post When testing payment files bank has informed that both the 'Local Instrument-code' and 'Local Instrument- Proprietary' must be present in the xml file. However, in IFS Application only one value can be used at a given time. See the below tags required. Tag 1. Local Instrument-code'<PmtTpInf> <LclInstrm> <Cd>CCD</Cd> </LclInstrm> </PmtTpInf> Tag 2 Local Instrument- Proprietary'<PmtTpInf> <SvcLvl> <Cd>NURG</Cd> </SvcLvl> <LclInstrm> <Prtry>CITI996</Prtry> </LclInstrm></PmtTpInf> Is it a known limitation or is there any other basic data that I have missed?
Hi Team, I am using the send email functionality from the custom projection(using the command_sys.send email) in the workflow and the email thing works fine but the body text alignment is showing everything in the same line Is there a way to control this alignement to include the spacing ex: Hi XXXX, This is to inform regarding the new supplier creation.

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationChoose ONE: keep the applicable option and delete the rest.Opportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionWhat happened, what is missing, or what could be better? Focus on the problem or opportunity (not the solution).In the standard QuickReport feature, there is a "SaveFilter" command available on the screen displayed after clicking "ViewReport."Although the command appears to be active after a filter is applied, clicking it does not trigger the display of a dialog box.According to IFS documentation, this functionality is currently unsupported due to system limitations.Since it is possible to save search and filter criteria on other screens, I would like to see improvements made so that this feature is also available within QuickReport reports. B. Context and scope1) Who is affected?Choose ONE or MORE: keep the applicable options and delete the rest.Customers2) FrequencyChoose ONE: keep the applicable option and delete the rest.DailyC.

We are analyzing the behavior of the “Include Structure” option in IFS Cloud, specifically in the following pages:New Miscellaneous Resource Allocation New Resource Relocation Generate Resource Schedules and CapacityDuring validation, we observed that enabling or disabling the “Include Structure” option changes the selection results and the number of records displayed in subsequent steps. However, the exact filtering logic and scope of this option are not clearly understood.IFS confirmed that this behavior is due to hierarchical expansion when “Include Structure” is enabled; however, detailed logic and scope remain unclear in these scenarios.Clarifications Required Hierarchy Definition How is the hierarchy derived when this option is enabled? What relationships are considered (e.g., parent-child resources, teams, organizational structure)? Behavior with Single Resource Selection In pages like Generate Resource Schedules and Capacity, where typically only a single resource is selecte
One of our customers upgraded to 24R2 recently. The release upgrade started on 1/22/2025 and build place was updated on 3/7/2025.Now, in their Build place (DEV) environment, the application version and framework version are different.However, in the relevant TEST (useplace) environment both application and framework versions are the same. Could you please clarify,How something like this could have happened What is the impact this will have on future deliveries/fixes. What can be done to get the useplace and prod environments to the same framework version as dev.
Is there any news on the Deprecation plan for Quick report and Custom Events in higher versions in roadmap
When a Shop Order is Infinite Scheduled (unscheduled by MSO) the Operation Start and Stop Times are consecutive. Each operation step is to begin when the one prior completes.When I run MSO, the last operation step is not scheduled to begin right after the one prior. The first 2 operation steps are “Set Up” and “Test Piece” and have machine set up times. The last operation step (COA) is the actual production run and uses machine run factor.Each operation uses the same work center, resource and labor class. Each shop order is backward scheduled. The only interesting thing I have found is that the first 2 operations, when scheduled by MSO, are scheduled to run at the Start Date and leaves the 3rd operation step for a day before or day of the shop order finish date. What am I missing here?

Hi Experts,After executing Transfer Inventory Transaction , there are multiple records inSupply Chain and Manufacturing Posting Analysis that remain in status"1 (Created)" and are not transferred. Common Characteristics of the Records:The affected records share the following attributes:Accounting ID: Negative value Posting Type: M1 (Inventory) Posting Event: ARRIVAL (Purchase Order Receipt) Posting and Transaction Source: DUMMYBased on our internal investigation, we were informed that these records may berelated to posting simulation. Q1.Could someone clarify what it means functionally when Posting IDs are negativeand used for postiong simulation in IFS? Q2.Under what conditions are such records created? Q3.Are these records expected to remain in status "Created (1)",or should they eventually be processed/cleaned up?Regards,

Hello Community,I am looking for assistance with the installation of the IFS Sustainability Planner application.According to the installation and user guide, the solution should be available through Microsoft Teams and Power Apps. However, I cannot find the IFS Sustainability Planner/Sustainability Hub application in the Teams app catalog, and the installation steps described in the documentation do not seem to match what is available in our environment.Could someone clarify the following:How can the IFS Sustainability Planner Hub be installed? Is the Hub available as a Teams application, a Power Apps solution, or through another deployment method? Are there any prerequisites, licenses, or permissions required before the application becomes visible? Has anyone recently installed Sustainability Planner and can share the required steps?Any guidance or installation instructions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,Nandor
