Hi! We have over 25 000 Accounts in IFS. Is there an easy way, or any way, in IFS Cloud to search for accounts without connected objects such as sales quotations, orders, leads or business opportunities? An account clean-up is long overdue.
Does MSO consider labor from work tasks that aren’t connected to a work center/machine as part of the labor capacity?
Hello everyone,I’m trying to use the REPLAN Customer Order Lines function in IFS Cloud, but my customer order lines are not being updated as expected. Here’s my scenario:Part setup: Inventory part, MRP planning, availability check enabled. Stock: No parts in stock. Supply: Purchase Order is planned and expected to arrive (see details below). Customer Order Line: Created and released, linked to the above part. When I run REPLAN CO LINE: The customer order line is not updated (planned delivery date does not change).Questions:Are there any specific settings or prerequisites I might be missing (e.g., supply code, sourcing rule, capability check, etc.)? No parts in stockPO planned to arrive as per below Customer Order Line as MRP Planning
Hi everyone,I have a requirement to enable Project History Logging for multiple projects simultaneously, specifically to run as a Scheduled Database Task at the start of each month.The goal is to automate a "snapshot" of project status for monthly reporting across the entire portfolio (or a subset of projects) without manual intervention. After exploring the standard functional paths in IFS Cloud, we’ve hit a few roadblocks.Please see the following methods I’ve attempted already, Method #1: The History Logging Assistant We tried using a wildcard % in the Project ID field within the History logging on Project assistant. As suspected (given the assistant's name), it returned an error as it seems to be designed for single-project execution. Method #2: Projects Overview Page I’ve attempted to multi-select projects in the Projects overview screen to trigger a mass history log. However, the "Project History" option is unavailable in the command menu when multiple rows are selected. Is

I am wondering if anyone has an elegant solution on how to handle external navigation in a command when you have production and test hosts. The use case is, of course, we have an external page for testing and production. So when we are in a non-production environment we would like any external navigation commands go to our test host. And for production we want it to go to our production host. We thought about creating an entity which where we could at least enter the external URL and then run a script when one of our non-production environments gets updated to change the host in that entity. Then in the client file we would call a function that would return that URL. However, that won’t work because we would have to use the variable substitution on the returned URL and the variable substitution inside that URL wouldn’t be affected.
Hi everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on an unusual behavior we’re seeing in IFS Cloud related to a custom page for Terminal Printers.One of our customers has a custom page that was created for managing Terminal Printers.Despite having all of the required projections and permissions, the users are unable to see the Custom Terminal Printers page under the expected location in the navigator (under Printer Definitions).However, the same custom page is accessible to them if they navigate via:Solution Manager → Configuration → Page Configurations → Term PrintersSo the permissions themselves appear to be working — the users can access and use the custom page — but the navigator entry does not appear for them, even though it does appear for the admin user who originally created/configured the page.At this point, I haven’t been able to identify why the navigator entry isn’t appearing for the users despite having the same underlying projections enabled. I’ve reviewed the projections, securi
Hi, IFS Cloud version 25R2 The inventory part has been set for Planning Method “G” and the Order Cover time is “10”. Demands for the part are coming from two separate projects A single PNG created for both the projects (part transfer within PNG has been disabled) Execute the PMRP for the PNG Background job has been completed Now, in the results the PMRP has created a supply that is only satisfying the demand of one project. The problem why the demand from the other project was not considered in the supply planning.
Hello, does someone know how to pass multiple values to a single column while generating external link to aplication form?

I could have the scenario that the employee provides a notification because he/she is planning to leave. The notofication process could be started byt then through negociation the employee decides to stay with the company. Is there a way to cancel/rollback the termination? I did cancel the “Employment Termination Log” but it seems it just makes the the termination activities invalid only. This process is not rolling back all the dates (schedule, assignment, training … etc) Is the best solution to change all the dates manually? p.s. this scenario in not a rehire - where the employee was fully terminated and retuned. I am talking about cancelling the termination prior to the expexted emplo6ymkent end date. Thanks
It is often the case in our industry, that the Business Opportunity starts with one customer, but the final product is purchased and delivered to another one. Or, that the customer want the Sales Order to be addressed to another of their companies/accounts. Our challenge now is, that we are not able to change the Account of the Business Opportunity, as the Sales Quotation is attached. It is neither possible to change the Account of the Sales Quotation, because that is attached to the Business Opportunity. The only option seems to be to cancel current Business Opportunity and Sales Quotation, and redo them to the new account. Which is a lot of work. Is there a go-around, how we can during the process change the Account connected to Business Opportunity after Sales Quotation has been created (preferable without losing information)?

In Hungary there is legislation which goes beyond the European Union NIS2.Each member state had to enact its own legislation. The Hungarian legislation is based on Act 69 of 2024, and the specific requirements are contained in Decree 7/2024 of the Hungarian Parliament. The requirement for system usage indication is a Hungarian specificity, it was transferred from the NIST 800-53 rev. 5 standard. Its implementation is mandatory in all security classes:Namely, when starting IFS, we shall see a message which says:• You are using xxxxxx ERP system.• The use of IFS is recorded, logged, and monitored.• Unauthorized use of IFS is prohibited, and any violation may have legal consequences.• Using the IFS implies acceptance of the conditions detailed above.The system usage message must remain on the screen until the user accepts it.How and when will IFS implement this in IFS Cloud considering it is required by legislation?
Hi all,I’m looking for some guidance regarding the Customer > Message Setup configuration in IFS.When adding a new message class, in this case DESADV, the Sequence No field is not being populated automatically. As shown in the screenshot, the existing INVOIC message class has a Sequence No populated, but the newly added DESADV line remains blank. Any guidance would be appreciated, especially if there are specific steps required when adding a new outbound message class such as DESADV for ASN processing.

Hi I am facing an issue where as a business policy, procurement team always requires a purchase requisition and authorization is carried out on the purchase requisition level.Issue comes when I am running the Inter company flow.I am using the “Int Purch Direct” and “Int Purch Trans” flows, upon releasing the customer order, pegged purchase order will be created instead of purchase requisition. Is there a way that I can create a purchase requisition instead of purchase order?I have set up the default supply option as requisition in the Inventory part planning data as well. But for Purch Order Direct and Purch Order Trans flows, Purcase requisitions are getting created. Did anyone faced a similar situation? Thanks,Chamath
Does anyone know of a way to temporarily prevent receipting of POs. We require a period of non-transactions while other processes are being undertaken. We would like to prevent receipting POs during that period.We are using Apps 9, but I guess it will be the same logic as for Apps 10
Hello IFS Community,After creating a custom attribute using IFS Studio Developer and compiling the .cre file, I have a question regarding the .cdb file creation.When creating the .cdb file, do I need to copy the entire content of the .cre file, or only the section where the custom attribute is declared?For example:DECLARE table_name_ VARCHAR2(30) := 'TRANSPORT_TASK_TAB'; columns_ Database_SYS.ColumnTabType; column_ Database_SYS.ColRec;BEGIN Database_SYS.Reset_Column_Table(columns_); Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'TRANSPORT_TASK_ID', 'NUMBER', 'N'); Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'PRINTED_FLAG', 'NUMBER', 'N'); Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'CREATE_DATE', 'DATE', 'N'); Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'NOTE_TEXT', 'VARCHAR2(2000)', 'Y'); Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'FIXED', 'VARCHAR2(5)', 'N'); Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'SPLIT_BY_HU_CAPACITY', 'VARCHAR2(5)', 'N'); Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(col
Hi, I know many of you have a need / have asked how to use IFS to produce a given result. At a high level, many have asked how to consider a combination of code part values (for example account 1234 with cost center AAA then assign that combination a value. It could be for financial reporting; or it could be assigning a local account when a country requires local account and GL account. To resolve issues, I’ve seen for over a dozen different clients, I created an idea. Please take a look and upvote if you agree this is important functionality. FYI, over the next couple weeks I plan to create a number of “ideas” where I’ve seen numerous requests from clients over the years. The link is Create something like Code String Combination Attributes | IFS Community Best regards, Thomas
Hi All,When WO is executed through MWO and technician uses travel portion by using start travel and Waiting at location options, clocking will be generated for travel category. Usually in implementation projects how we calculate the travel resource group cost per hour ?Following components are arrived from my thought process -Average salary of resources per skill per hour Average transportation cost per hour. But here this is no compulsion of which vehicle type will be used per instant. Depreciation cost per hour of the vehicle. But here there is no compulsion on vehicle type used per instant.Though this might not be application consultant responsibility to suggest customer instead it depends on past experience of customer and advice through management consultant. But this question arises frequently in project implementations. I know PSO has travel models where cost/mile calculation functionality is available but in case of ESM and EAM solution any advice on this topic will help.Thanks
Hello, IFS Heroes… I have found in IFS official documentation this description: ‘If using the PM Grouping Rule on PM actions, the PM actions with same values for grouping rule parameters defined and that fall due at same time will be generated into one work order. This will result in all work list lines planned on the PM actions becoming work tasks on the generated work order. “ Key words of these statement “fall due at same time will be generated into same work order” I consider this as if works should be done at a same day it will be grouped to one work order. But, unfortunately, all works grouped in one work order from start of a month and to a end of the month. Is it feature or bug? What do you think?
