Can Azure API Management be used as an API Gateway in front of the IFS Cloud APIs, providing source IP allowlisting, additional authentication/authorization, request logging/monitoring and rate limiting?In addition, can direct API access to the IFS Cloud endpoint be restricted so that API traffic is accepted only via the customer's Azure API Management gateway?

Hello all,We want to use the supplier calendar to reflect the impact of Chinese New Year in the planning leadtime. But for some reason I cannot seem to let it work. The steps taken so far:Created calendar; Entered exceptions to the calendar (start of CNY + start up time); Generated the calendar; Added the calendar to the supplier; Run Calculate Purchase Leadtime.I would expect the expected leadtime in the inventory part would be updated. But I do not see a change. Is the correct way to set it up? Any idea's, tips and tricks are highly appreciated.

Hi All,As mentioned in several community posts, IFS is phasing out the shared document repository type with the introduction of support for file storage across multiple locations.According to the IFS documentation, although shared repositories are being deprecated, it is still possible to enable them manually. Customers may continue to use this functionality until IFS releases full support for multiple file storage locations.I would like to inquire whether any other customers or partners have manually enabled shared repositories and are currently utilizing this setup. Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Chamath

Hello, We just implemented IFS and we are using the Inspect in QA process. Some receipts are for large quantities and we would like to release partial quantities from the receipt. Currently we are registering the inspection results for partial qty then changing the total inspection qty to zero in order to allow Move into Stock. However this restricts us from inspecting further until the stock is moved. Is there a better solution?

Hi, Is there a way to adjust an employee's absence balances in IFS other than recording an absence request or regenerating the starting balance under Absence Limit Year?We used to do that in  Apps8 long time ago with another customer i worked with using Balances Accruals and Withdrawals screen. We only see OT Bank there ...not the Vacation or Sick Time which are also having yearly allotments given. Any help is appreciated. Kind regards/Roshan

Does anyone here know if it is possible to color code a field based on the value entered in the field?Like my example below where I want to add conditional formatting based on the value the user entered.If it is below a certain value, green. if above, red.The example above is hypothetical. The actual use case involve custom fields that are looking at values in a separate table for validation.

Hi all,I have a Lobby element that I am using in two lobby pages. It is based on a datasource that uses two parameters Category_ID and Group_ID. My datasource query is using the NVL statement, means when one of the parameters is empty it returns everything. To this regards it is working well. However, when I want to use the same methodolgy as a navigation link I get an error. My navigation link contains:(startswith(tolower(Cf_Group_Id_Eo),$GroupID$)) and (startswith(tolower(Cf_Category_Id_Eo),$OBJECT_CLASS$))When both parameters $GroupID$ and $OBJECT_CLASS$ are given everything works fine. But when only one parameter is given (e.g. $GroupID$) than the second statement of my navigation link gets rendered as:contains(,'')) So this is obviously throwing an error. Any suggestions on how to fix that? I would like to avoid to create two different widgets since I want to reuse the same widget on both lobby pages. Looking forward to all of your responses 

After uploading an Invoice when we try to view it the image is distorted. The Text is running vertically instead of horizontally. Naturally the text gets cutoff because there is only space for it to run horizontally. We made a release around the time it started happening. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm trying to add a custom field to the Report In Assistant in the MWO Service App and would appreciate some guidance on the recommended customization approach.The Report In Assistant is defined in CommonReportIn.fragment and uses the virtual entity:ReportInVirtual, which is exposed through ReportInVirtualSet and imported in ServiceEngApp.projection. EnvironmentIFS Cloud 25R2 (25.2.5) MWO Service App Report In AssistantIn the Cust layer I have:Overridden ReportInVirtual Added a new attribute: @Override virtual ReportInVirtual {    attribute CScadaFaultCodeF Text {       maxlength = 30;       insertable = [true];       updatable = [true];    } } Overriden ReportInGroup and added the field to the UI @Override group ReportInGroup for ReportInVirtual {    field CScadaFaultCodeF {       label = "SCADA Final Fault Code";       visible = [AllTaskRef.Objtype in("RequestTask")];    } } The field is displayed correctly in the Report In Assistant and the user can enter a value.c_scada_fault_cod

Hi,I have a customer that would like to decrease their revenue at month end for RMA’s that are created/invoices related to orders that where delivered the previous month.I don’t see how to do this search in outstanding sale.Anyone knows how to get this information from IFS Cloud?

We have performed manufacturing over shop order and a part serial structure was created with the manufactured product RAC Part number 1025671 and serial 052117With 3 components inside (see screenshot).This RAC was sold to the customer over project deliverables.Over “Serial Maintenance Aware” we have put it “In Facility” and created the Serial Object for the RAC.Customer has dismounted one of the components (part number 1002611 serial 007040) and sent us for repair.To perform correct repair process, we need the serial object for the component from the part serial structure.How can I create the serial object?If I try to search for the object in “Serial Maintenance Aware” it will not be found.If I try to create the serial object just with plus I receive the fault message.Part serial already exists. It has Status “In Operation” and current position “Contained”I guess the problem here is, that the part is contained inside the RAC. How can I remove the part serial from the structure? 

Hi Everyone,I have an issue/question regarding the Second UoM for Inventory Parts. We would like to use the Second UoM functionality on the Register Arrival page.In our construction purchasing process, suppliers sometimes deliver materials using a different UoM than the one specified on the Purchase Order.For example, we may order sand in tons on the Purchase Order, but the supplier may deliver it in m³. We have a defined conversion factor between these two units, and we would like to register the arrival using the second UoM.Is there a way in IFS Cloud to register the arrival using the Second UoM while keeping the Purchase Order in its original UoM?I would appreciate any advice or guidance on how this can be configured or handled in IFS Cloud.Thank you.

Hello,I am experiencing a behavior with Selective MRP in IFS Cloud that I do not fully understand.Context : Parent part: Part Type = Purchased The part has a Structure Type = Manufacturing, alternate  * with status Buildable I run Selective MRP on the parent part.During the first Selective MRP run:MRP is executed for the parent part. The components in the Manufacturing structure are also considered. Dependent demands for other part are visible for the component parts in the MRP information.During the second Selective MRP run, without making any changes to demand, inventory, or product structure data:The dependent demands generated for all the components disappear.Is this the expected behavior of Selective MRP in IFS Cloud?I would expect the same planning results to be generated on each run as long as no relevant data has changed.Has anyone experienced a similar situation?Thank you in advance for your help and feedback.IFS Cloud version: - 25R1 SU0

Hi everyone,We are facing an issue in IFS Cloud where company-owned objects are not available to select as an Item ID on a Service Contract Line. Business RequirementIn our Equipment Object Navigator, we have a top-level object under which we maintain all of our company-owned assets.Our requirement is to select the top-level object as the Item ID on the Service Contract Line. At the time the Service Contract is created, we do not know which specific company-owned asset will be used for the contract. Therefore, selecting the top-level object allows us to assign the appropriate company-owned asset to the Work Task at a later stage.This functionality was available in IFS Applications 10, where we were able to select the top-level object as the Item ID on the Service Contract Line. Issue in IFS CloudIn IFS Cloud, within a Service Contract, the Item ID LOV on the Service Contract Line only displays customer-owned assets associated with the customer specified on the Service Contract.As a res

Hi All,I created a FNDMIG job using the method Eng_Part_Structure_API.Remove__ to remove subparts from Engineering Part Navigator and it does delete any records.  It does not give any errors but display this in the Last Info.I have attached my migration job herewith.If I use the Method Eng_Part_Structure_API.Part_SubPart_Conn_Removeit will remove the subpart.Which method should I use to remove Subpart from an Engineering Part Navigator?Why the first method(Remove__) does not work in the migration job?Can someone please help me to clarify what is the correct method to use and why the first method fails? Thank you!Disna M 

Wanted to create a custom field on the Background Jobs page to easier identify background jobs that we can move to other queues that are candidates for optimization etc, but was struggeling with the syntax…. We created a Quick report instead   Here is the query if someone should have the same requirement.

A. What is your idea? 1) Classification New concept or idea 2) Brief descriptionBackground:In IFS Cloud Tracks, revenues and costs that are excluded from capitalization (by excluding the relevant account from Periodical Capitalization) are incorrectly included in revenue recognition calculations for POC Method: Manual.Note that this issue is not there in POC Method: Actual. This is since “Include Cost Excluded from Capitalization for POC” has been auto disabled (set as “No”) from Project Group level for POC Method: Actual. But this option has been auto enabled (set as “Yes”) for POC Method: Manual.This was reported through Case: CS0532547.Issue:It is not possible to change the value in “Include Cost Excluded from Capitalization for POC” to ‘No’ for POC Method: Manual. Therefore this causes a situation where the excluded revenues and costs are always included in the revenue recognition calculations which is not right for the customers which are used to use Manual POC Method without reve
