Hey all,So, like almost everyone, I’m pretty new to Report Studio in IFS Cloud. We have been using Crystal Reports and because that is getting deprecated, I’m having to learn it pretty quickly.Anyway, there have been two things whilst making the laser check print, that should have been easy to do, but weren’t, and because I couldn’t find them, I thought I’d share.The first was the payee address, this was coming out as a single line, which is less than ideal. After a week, I brute forced it after adding a calculated field to the ADDRESS_LINE table, with the data member as the ADDRESS_LINE and the expression as [].Join( [PAYEE_ADDRESS], Char(10) ). Nowhere in the documentation, does it explain this, especially that part where [] is the data member.The second part was the amount. We pad the start with asterisks, but the format would not stick for whole numbers, so, 1200 would not come out as ****1200.00 even though I had the format setup. After a day of trying I came up with this:Iif(Roun

We have been using the Detail Statistics pages in IFS Cloud 24R2 to report Invoiced Sales, Order Entry, etc, it’s a differential update report, so if there are no changes, it doesn’t update the lines. Someone in the organization has updated the name of a large customer, and so now, we have two customer names associated with the customer number in the Detail Statistics.I’m wondering how we could force it to update the lines. I’m guessing with a deletion migration job? BUt I wondered if there was a less scorched earth approach.

Hi everyone,I’m trying to confirm two things about standard IFS functionality on Business Opportunities and Projects. ​​ Can a Business Opportunity be connected to or converted into a Project (in the Project Management Module)?  Does the Opportunity status matter? For example, can an Opportunity in Closed, Won, or Lost status still be converted to a Project, or does it need to be in a specific phase? note that I am using IFS cloud 25R2 V4 environment to test this out. If anyone can confirm whether this functionality exists in standard IFS (Apps 10 or Cloud), and under what conditions the command appears, I’d appreciate it.Thanks!Sachitha D

Hi,When we employ contractors that are linked to a PO, the cost of that PO is automatically charged to the related project when the contractor register it's time to that project.However, we do not seem to have the option, or at least I am not aware of it, to change this behavior. For regular employees, there are several costing options available. For example, the project cost can be based on the resource group cost instead of the employee’s actual cost.I would like to apply the same setup to contractors. When a contractor is assigned to a resource group, I want the project to be charged based on the resource group cost rather than the direct PO cost.Is there a way to achieve this?Thanks!

I’m trying to create a lobby element that counts the number of active sessions, the number of logged in active users.Looking in function ‘IAM Sessions Per Client’ I can see that Projection IamSessionHandling is used for this purpose, listing active sessions in a specific IAM client.However, when trying to use this projection in a Lobby Datasource it is not possible to enter a ‘Data Root’, there doesn’t seem to be any entitysets for this projection?Does anyone know how I can use this projection, or if there are any other ways to display the number of active users.IFS 25.1.9 

Hi, i wonder if someone can share experience of using Report Studio instead of, or in combination with, report designer.BR Håkan

I am trying to use the ReceiveEinvoiceService rest endpoint to pull in supplier invoices.  I have 2 attachments that I would like to associate with the invoice.  One attachment is a pdf of the original invoice that we received from the supplier.  The other attachment is a csv file for the data we were able to OCR from the pdf.  My end goal is to have IFS receive the invoice details and for it to show up in the External Supplier Invoices section so that an end user can match the invoices to purchase orders and receivers. On my end, I know the unique identifiers from the Oracle Tables -> Supplier (the Supplier_Id column inside of the Supplier_Info_Tab table) and the Company (the Company column inside of the Company_Tab table).   Based on the documentation, I can use the SupplierIdentity to specify the Supplier and the CustomerIdentity to specify the Company on the request.   For my test scenario, the supplier is associated to multiple companies in IFS, but the invoice itself is only f

Hi, I want to send a data file from IFS Cloud to a Google Cloud Service Bucket using their REST endpoint. The google rest endpoint is authenticated via the OAuth 2.0 JWT mechanism, where the client has to create a signature using the given private key and send it to Google for authorization of the request. In IFS Cloud routing addresses, only REST Client ID & Client Secret Authentication (Basic Authentication) is supported, not JWT. Is there another way to authenticate using JWT in IFS Cloud? Best Regards,Charitha

Hi All,What’s the best practice in IFS cloud to integrate with WMS? Is there recommended integration projections that we can use?In pervious versions, we were using WMSINT that contain 6 messages to make the integration work between IFS and a WMS work. We would like to know which projections can be used as replacements for this?More information on WMSINT can be found in this topicWMS Integration | IFS Community

Hi everyone,We recently upgraded to 25R1 and some users in all our environments (development, test and production) get HTTP error 431 on particular IFS screens.  Only our production environment uses single sign-on, the other environments are username/password based.A small number of users get the errors on viewing the details of assigned work tasks - those users get the error in all environments but other users do not get the error on the same screen.  Some other users are getting the same error when viewing customer orders, but again it’s not all users.It was suggested that the LINKERD2_PROXY_OUTBOUND_SERVER_HTTP2_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE and LINKERD2_PROXY_INBOUND_SERVER_HTTP2_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE settings be increased to 65536 but this didn’t make any difference.   It seems possible that the error may be from Cloudflare, as the browser developer log does not show any IFS trace information, but we’re not certain.Has anyone else seen these errors or have any suggestions on why they are ha

Hi,Is there anyone out there with the knowledge to help me solve this mystery?When fetching a dynamic Image stored as a BLOB in the data base into Report Designer and then previewing the report, there is a black background displayed on signatures created in a Service Work Task (fetched from ifsapp.JT_TASK_SIGNATURE) , but not on other objects fetched from Media Library (ifsapp.media_item). The signatures where the error is caused are all stored as BLOBS and when previewing them in Oracle SQL the background is white:Previewing BLOB in Oracle SQL.But when printing them on PDF, the background becomes black for some reason, while other BLOBs are presented with white background. In this sample the signature is printed twice (black squares with blue signature) and a BLOB presenting a coffee machine is printed correctly in the lower left corner as comparison. Previewing BLOB on PDF (Adobe or Microsoft Edge) through Report Designer.In Report designer the code for fetching both the coffee machi

When an employee category changes, we end the current Work Time Schedule line and create a new schedule line with a new validity date. However, when we update the "Time Registration Time Base" field, IFS Cloud overwrites the previous value instead of keeping the historical record. Is this standard behavior, or is there a way to retain the previous Time Registration Time Base history? We get this window to confirm before system makes changes, but we do not wish to update the old line we need to update the value only on new line created.can you please help?

Hello, I had a quick question. We are trying to reserve supplier material for a part but we keep running into this error message? Any thoughts? Does this have to do with the inventory availability planning? Thanks.

Hi,In the documentation of 25R2 it is mentioned that IFS comes with pre-packaged data migration definitions. These prepackaged migrations should consist of:The definition itself which is available upon manual installation of the PROD components as migration jobs in the form Overview - Migration Jobs An excel spreadsheet that may act as an input container for the data with additional information about fields, formats constraints, etc.I can see the migration jobs are there, but I can't find the Excel spreadsheet the documentation is referring to nor can I find a job that is able to create this. Does anyone more about this Excel spreadsheet?/Michael

Hi Community! Perhaps somebody has faced a similar issue and therefore I want to ask here.I have the following situation:The customer is using the normal absence limit for his vacation (30 days per year).Because of reasons I had to set up another Absence type for half-day vacation:This absence type has to share the limit with the normal annual allowance for vacation.To do this I went to “Absence Limit Definition”-Page:There I go to the normal vacation:And there I go to the Details:Here I have the possibility to share the limit in the header of the page:I enter the absence type which is used for the half day vacation:From my point of view the absence limit for Absence type for Absence type 300 should be reduced if I request absence type 324 (half day vacation).Let’s make an example:Right now my employee has 15,5 unused days (had to do some information black because of data security!)Now I enter a request for this employee:Now this request in in status Confirmed and I approve this one.In

We are upgrading from Apps9 to Cloud and have heavy integration with custom API’s for our WMS and Webstore.  One function that we use to receipt purchase order currently is Receive_Purchase_Order_API.Packed_Arrival__.  This no longer exists and I am unable to find an equivalent procedure to do this.  Does anyone happen to know what call I need to use?  I know that functionality is changing and converting to the new processes will be a 2nd phase project becuase of how much we have.

Hello, I was looking to use the new quick sight report functionality. II have defined a query for the report but for some reason I don’t see an option for the data member regarding my data source.
