Hello, I have begun using Serial tracking for parts in IFS Apps 10. However, I have noticed an issue with Shop Order analysis. It appears that if you define 100% checking on a Control Plan, it will require that each Serialized part is accounted for on EACH Shop Order Analysis. This becomes a significant issue if you report parts and generate another analysis. As an example, if you have a SO with a Lot Size of five and you reserve your serial numbers on the Shop Order. You then generate an analysis, and select all five serial numbers, you will have to perform checks for all of them. There is no way around this, you cannot cancel incomplete lines and finish the Analysis. I have tested reporting 3 pieces of the lot and creating another analysis. However, the results are the same, the system is looking for 5 serial numbers still, even though 3 have already been assigned to the reported pieces. I'm not understanding the intended functionality, it seems to create a lot of issues. My only sol

Does anyone know how to create a PL/SQL package to export financial data in the SIE4 format?

Hi All, I’ve created a Task Planning page in the MWO Application using Page Designer. On that page, I added a new list called "Task Planning List" based on the ‘JtTaskPlanning’ entity. The list is displaying correctly in the MWO Application.But my issue is, not all the fields I included in list are visible, only a few specific ones are showing.I tried adding the desired fields to the Field Ranking, but that didn’t resolve the issue. The desired fields still do not appear in the application. Task Planning List Configuration  List in MWO Application  How does the MWO Application decide which fields to display in the list? Isn’t it supposed to follow the Field Ranking configured using Page Designer? And, are there any limitations on the number of fields that can be displayed in a list in the MWO?  Currently, its only displaying 4 fields in the list in MWO. Note: I am using IFS Cloud 24R1 Environment. Please anyone guide me on this. Thanks in Advance. Sandya S 

Hello,We are running into an issue where an employee is not showing up in Time Registration before a certain date. Their start date is about a month and a half before that date, and they have valid job assignments from their start date, but they “don’t exist” in time registration between their start date and about a month and a half afterwards. Has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix it?Thanks!

Hi All,We are facing an issue with IFS Cloud when uploading XML files to a third-party SFTP server hosted by a bank.When IFS Connect uploads the file to the SFTP server, it follows this pattern:Initially uploads the file as:ISO20022_55c5746a-XXXXXX.xml.partThen attempts to rename it to:ISO20022_55c5746a-XXXXXX.xmlIt seems the rename operation might be failing or getting blocked, possibly due to security policies on the bank’s SFTP server. In some cases, the connection is dropped or blocked entirely after this step.Has anyone else experienced this behavior with IFS Connect and SFTP?Is there a configuration in IFS Cloud to avoid using .part extensions?Skip or handle rename conflicts gracefully?Any best practices when uploading to strict SFTP servers (e.g., those that don’t allow overwrite or rename of existing files)?How can we ensure a smooth, secure transfer without triggering security measures?Any insights, experiences, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance

Hi all,After upgrading from IFS Cloud 23R2 to 24R2 we realized that the component usage factor in the configuration structure is now validated to be between 0% and 100%. This causes issues on the user experience because they will no longer be able to save modifications on structure lines with component usage factors > 100. We have several components which currently have a factor > 100%, e.g. for custom cable lengths which can be configured and the base length of 1 meter will be multiplied by the configured value. If the average desired length is for example 5 meters, the component usage factor would be 500% to calculate the correct demands for the components based on the planned quantities from master scheduling.Does anyone know what the idea behind the limitation between 0 and 100% is? We could just deactivate the validation on the clients and as a quick fix, but are afraid, that there are any consequential errors because of this change.Thanks

Dear All Hope you are doing great - ready for the weekend. Just checking if someone is using a setup in IFS where we can hide some parts according to the part description  [containing part description text **DO NOT USE** for instance] . For instance, we have obsolete parts at N-Sea with the part status obsolete or inactive. But still cannot hide them when creating demands on projects. IFS will of course not let us create demands for such part statuses. But ideally I want to hide those parts when fetched onto a list of values. I tried several configurations like custom fields and saved searches according to the status. But seems hiding them on new demands are not supported. Of course I might be able to do this with a customization in IFS. But before that, I am trying to figure out if I have missed a trick. Happy Weekend! Asela

Hi   Currently using warehouse task to generate a shop order pick list from materials and i understand this can be changed to create a transport task, my question is… when we receive that TT, will the stock be automatically issued to the materials it was raised against?    Thanks, Dan

SIE format allows the transfer of accounting data between different software.  This file exchange is now implemented in all accounting software on the Swedish market and is used by governing bodies, such as the Swedish Tax Authority.Does anyone know if there is specific support for this in IFS Cloud?

I’d like to get an official statement from IFS when the Query Flags and Default Values functionalities for Quick Reports become available in IFS Cloud. Since these functionalities are part of the official Technical Documentation for Cloud – saying they are currently unavailable – I suppose that sooner or later they will be (re)implemented in Cloud as well.Quick Reports - Technical Documentation for IFS Cloud - We have a bunch of Quick Reports in Apps 10 with query flags and default values included, and the usage of these functions (specially the multi-selection and LoV options) save a lot of working time for our users every day, so we’d like to use these in Cloud too as soon as possible.

Hi IFS Community,In IFS Cloud (we're on 24R2 currently) you have the Dispatch Console where you start with an Activity view. This shows the timeline and the allocated activities in time, it's very handy :)You do have the option to switch to the Utilization View manually, this shows the % of available time allocated with Activies, see yellow marked in 1st image.If you zoom out, at a certain point you are forced to switch to the Utilization view, here's the catch. Also the option to switch back to Activity view isn't there anymore (see yellow in 2nd image).We don't want that, we want to keep the Activity view. Is this possible? What is the rule/logic behind the switching? Is there a value, a setting?Activity view: Utilization view: Cheers,Stephan

Hello,In Posting Control settings there is a possibility to use Control type C83 - Location Group for M1 Posting Type. This means when I move Part from Location Group 1 to Location Group 2 Warehouse accounts (M1) could be different.Currently FIFO method doesn’t support FIFO pile usage for movements transactions. Instead it uses average cost.As a result we get incorrect balances on Account (M1).Example:Receive 2 pcs | Cost 50 | Location 1 | Account 1620Receive 2 pcs | Cost 58 | Location 1 | Account 1620Move - 1 pcs | Cost 54 | Location 1 | Account 1620Move +1 pcs | Cost 54 | Location 2 | Account 1625Issue -1 pcs | Cost 50 | Location 2 | Account 1625Account 1625 has balance 4, but real quantity on the Location 2 is 0.Attached you can find screenshots for settings and transactions.Resume: we can’t use FIFO method in connection with C83 - Location group posting control at the moment. BUT: our customer works exactly in described way and it needs FIFO in moves transactions very much.Request:

Hi Community, I am currently exploring some features related to "Resource Management."I have created a resource as a "person group," and the group's capacity is based  individuals within it.I planned the resource on a project and made an allocation for one employee in the group.Based on HR calendar, the employee has some days OFF.I don't understand why the scheduled capacity does not consider this absence in its calculation.When using the "Resource Analysis" screen, project managers can view resource scheduling, but it appears that the capacity is not adjusted for absences.Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is this expected behavior?  

"Is it possible in IFS10 to configure Active Directory user integration to sync accounts and have new accounts created as inactive by default?We are aware that this can be achieved by creating a post-synchronization script to disable the users, but we’re specifically looking for a direct option or configuration setting within IFS10 that can handle this automatically.Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!"

Community, We are on APP10 UPD 9.see below WO pick list, it is partially picked, see line 5 is still pending for pick up. We are trying to work on line 5, but we can do neither pick nor unpick. Bug? 

The groups on the IFSCloud screen cannot be opened without clicking on the tab, but is it possible to display the screen with the groups open when transitioning to the screen page?

In Apps9, inactive menus are displayed in grayed-out form, butis it possible to display inactive commands in the same way in IFSCloud?  

Hello I am getting this error when I try to create an event in the financial project. Would anyone know what this is and how to resolve?     

Hello, has anyone upgraded to Cloud version and then reopened a prior year?   We have gone from Apps9 to 24R1.2 and after reopening 2024 year and entering some reclass vouchers, the “clear revenue/cost balance” job is not finding the amounts to clear.   I’m then left with a balance in this section of accounts.  When I try to run the job I get this message:If I performed the exact same steps in Apps9 there were no issues. We are also testing service update 12 and same scenario.   I’ve logged a case with IFS but wanted to ask the community as well.  ​@Nancy Fink  any change in year end process in Cloud that I may be missing?  Thank you.

Hi,When we try to export all rows and columns to excel from IFS Aurena application, we are getting error message ‘Requested file has errors’. We tried with various screens, but we get same error message. IFS Version: App10 UPD13Application Type: Aurena Is there any configuration or solution to fix this issue?

Hi colleagues,It’s interesting that I can see that Lot usage doesn’t guarantee link with appropriate cost.What am I doing wrong?Example:Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 50 | lot 3107-01Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 56 | lot 3107-02Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 59 | lot 3107-03Inventory issue 1 | qty 1| unit cost 50 | lot 3107-03Frankly, I expected unit cost 59 because of the lot 3107-03.Attached are settings and transactions fragments. 

I am unable to find an existing schedule to have the below run daily.  Is this something that need created as a custom database task/schedule or if there a screen I can schedule it from?  Our goal is to have the Customer Credit Management Lobby updated daily.  I am also trying to find if there is a clean up process for this.  I see the API procedures in the DB but I do not want to create new tasks if there are existing ones.  

In the Aurena Client for Apps 10, it was only possible to use SQL type Quick Reports as Custom Command for “ExecuteQuickReport”.  We need to use Crystal Reports type Quick Reports in the Cloud 23R1 version and pass one or more Parameters in the Command. The Cloud Technical documentation still says “The key value editor allows the end user to map context values as report parameters. Currently this is available for SQL Quick Reports only.”  Has anyone found a work around for this scenario using Cloud 23R1 yet? 

Hello, I have created a lobby with several trackers and realised that the colour coding for the legend of the pie diagrams is not uniform. The red colour always seems to be applied to the largest pie segment rather than the same category. In the example screen-shot the red segment displays “WorkRequest” on the upper diagra and “Released” on the lower diagram. On the lower middle diagram the red segment is “UnderPreparation” on the lower right the red segment is “WorkDone”, which is very confusing for users looking at these diagrams. Is there a way to set it up so “WorkReleased” (and all the other categories) is always the same colour in each diagram? Thank you very much for your help!
