When I try to login to IFS Support, I am taken to a Logout successful page. Does anyone know the reason behind this?  

I’m a data modeller for a BI/DW project where IFS is a key source. We do not appear to have a data model / entity relationship diagram.  If anyone has one that they’re willing to share, I’d love to see it.  Ditto a Data Dictionary.I have a full list of tables & columns, data types, etc.   I’d like to understand the naming conventions; what do abbreviations and suffixes like CMV, MV, REG, LOG, DET, TAB, AC, AM, STR, COMB, etc.  I can guess many but I’d prefer to know. Background, if it helps:The high level objective is to provide internal cost centre managers and client facing program managers with a view of their internal budgets, internal expenditure, supply costs, invoicing, receipts, etc. There are other sources of data for many of those use cases.I have very little familiarity with IFS at this point and I don’t have a dedicated IFS resource yet so I’m trying to get an understanding of the IFS data model so that I can identify the relevant s

Hi,Has anyone implemented Segregation of Duties in the cloud.If so, are you willing to export the Functional Areas you have added so that others can import these?It seems crazy that there are none set up as default and that we all need to create these from scratch. There are obvious ones (like Supplier Payment Addresses) that we would all be interested in. Then is would be up to individual IFS Customers to decide how they want to set up the Functional Area Conflicts?Thanks,GrahamPS: I will come back and upload mine when I am finished.

We use Xpandion for GRC (governance risk and compliance).  IEE supports SOD through external sources by providing mapping.  However, with Aurena projections, we can’t seem to find the same support and manually mapping 70k projections is impossible.  Has anyone connected IFS to an external GRC tool?  If so, how have those projection mappings happened for you?  If not, has the internal IFS SOD Analysis been sufficient for your SOX compliance and audit needs?

Hi All, Received following error when using the command : .\main.ps1 -resource 'STORAGE'. Please advice to resolve. Error: non-absolute URLs should be in form of repo_name/path_to_chart Thank you.

Usually when we have a Child / Parent relationship, the child places the order and receives the goods, but the invoice states the parent name as they will pay and the credit limit is held at the parent for the total group. Is there a way in IFS to have, the child place the order and receives the goods, the invoice states the child name as they will pay, but the credit limit is held at the parent for the total group.

Hi  when looking to add objects that are missing from the PM Program the list includes serial objects that are scrapped, if they are scrapped they are not eligible to be included but you only know they are scrapped when you have got to the point of adding them in, which is a waste of time. Is there a way to remove from the list altogether or at least identify them so you don’t try and add them in and have users waste precious time? 

Hello,I’m trying to duplicate parts to create them into another site (contract) of my company.It’s part of a workflow which automatize unballasting between our main site to sub site.I tried to use CopyPart projection in API calls (type call or create), InventoryPartHandling, but it doesn’t work.The function (invoke) DefaultCopy used from the inventory part webpage to “duplicate” is not available in projection API so I don’t know how to process.Right now, I fetch the entity element I need from API call then I create a new entity element with it.But for inventory part for exemple, I got 90+ fields to fill.I don’t think this is the good solution and a real copy function should exist, but can’t find it, or make it work (Copypart.svc) ?Thank you

Hi,Is there a functionality in IFS to check credit control on group level?For example Customer IDs are global and it can be assigned many companies in same group. The customer can have a credit block in one company due to credit limit. But still another company will be selling without considering that the customer is credit blocked in one company. Is there any functionality check credit control in group level across companies?ThanksGayan

Testing use of Service Contract and Invoices from Work Tasks based on Cost Based Pricing  on our 24R1 SU12 version, and use of Merge By Sales Part does not work according to our expectations.Is someone using a similar setup in newer versions?    Invoice Preview with Invoice Scope CustomerMy expected result here would be 1 line with the total quantity and amount for my 8 personell lines  I get the same result if I create the Invoice Preview with Group Level Work Order (2 extra lines due to the date used as filter in the first scenario) 

Hello,My team is working on implementing a payment functionality for USD check payments to Bank of America (BofA) using IFS Cloud 2025R1. We were advised by IFS R&D to use the ISO20022A1 payment format for this purpose.We've set up the payment order and created the payment file. However, we've encountered a few issues and have a key question for the community on how this is intended to work. The Problem The payment format generates an application message with the MESSAGE_FUNCTION hard-coded to SEND_SEPA_CREDIT_TRANSFER.This results in the generated XML file using a SEPA schema and an explicitly defined SEPA namespace, despite the payment data being for a USD check.This seems to be a fundamental mismatch, as SEPA is a Euro-based electronic transfer standard, not a format for USD check payments. 

From a Business Opportunity (BO) we create a Sales Quotation (SQ) with the “New Sales Quotation” button in the header.Then I create a SQ Line with a value of 100 EUR and in the linked BO, a BO Line is also created with a value of 100 EUR.Now we have the behavior that when we delete the SQ Line in the SQ, the BO Line is not touched. Even more strange it then the fact that when you create a new SQ Line in the SQ, we end up with 2 BO Lines in the BO, both connected to the same SQ.Anybody knows the business case of this behavior or knows a way to suppress this behavior?With kind regards,Sven Audenaert

In APPS10 there is a Received - Not Yet Invoiced report.  I have searched and this report should be in IFS Cloud but I am not able to find it.  I understand it may be under GNRI or Goods Received Not Invoiced but I am not finding those either. Where is this report in IFS Cloud?

I am playing with intersite orders where I have an internal supplier to a sales part in a supply site.  The internal supplier is a separate site.  What settings have to be made to make this automatic from the point of release of the demand site customer order to the PO to the supply site, release and send the PO create the customer order on the supply site and release it??Thanks!  THis is in Cloud

Hi,We have upgraded to 25R1 SU3 last week and we can no longer pre-post our customers orders to accounting projects (financial project). IFS has introduced a bug fix SCZ 27798 and it is now mandatory to enter a project id (WBS project) in the customer order details tab if to want to entre pre-posting on the customer header.Has anybody else experienced this problem or can help us out ?Thanks and Regards,Anne-Sophie

Dear All, Do we have the option of Broadcast Meesage in aurena like the way we have in IEE. Thanks in advance! BR HA

Hi, I wan’t to find the price with the menu “Requets price” for a non-inventory-part/customer/contract.Does it work ?I have no answer from the ERP. Thank’s.Julien. 

We have a simple custom field where users can enter a percentage, i.e., number field restricted to values of between 0 and 100, on our Business Opportunities screen on the General Info section.We want to force users to populate this field before they exit a particular Sales Process Stage - this sounds like the perfect use case for Sales Process Actions?When we try to set this up, we don’t see the custom field on the Enter Data dialog:Can anyone advise how we get custom fields to appear here?I know this was a restriction in Aurena but I had believed it had been fixed in Cloud at least for simple custom fields.

 Hi, everybody, We changed the FTP server and the files were transferred from the old server to the new server.When we want to add a new document, the old document class appears.The old document classes should not be visible.Could you support us pls?  

We have an existing migration job that worked until Update 20 was applied. The job adds lines to a sales quotation. Now the lines are added successfully only for rows where the customers price list has a value in the Discount Type field for the part in question. The job looks like this:The error returned is “Field [DISCOUNT_TYPE] is mandatory for Order Quote Line Discount and requires a value.”. The migration job doesn’t currently include a method list entry for the Order Quote Line Discount view so it isn’t possible to add a default value for this field: What we would like is to be able to add a default value if there isn’t one on the price list. Is there a way of doing this?

Hi Community!We are seeking guidance on best practices for managing cases where a company employs individuals with protected personal information, such as name, address, and similar data. While it is necessary to store details such as address and personal identity number within the system, access to this information needs to be restricted to a limited number of authorized users.I’ve been looking in to Personal Data Management (not fully), but we don’t want to anonymize completely..This situation is not very common but occurs occasionally -  in Sweden at least. Could someone please advise on recommended approaches or share how other customers have successfully approached these kind of situations? Best regards, Anna

Good Afternoon,Can anyone advise why the error message below is showing when trying to add additional lines to an existing PO? Many Thanks 

Hello,I'm trying to get a better handle on the "Report Print Task Template" in IFS Cloud, and focussing to getting it to work right and run smoothly.If anyone could help me out with these concerns: Do we actually need to create a separate task template for every language our users work in, like for English (gb) and Swedish (sv)? What's the deal with the logical and physical printer mapping? I've been testing it out, and it seems like the print jobs go to all our printers through print agent which already configured with the printer mapping no matter what I map here (tried without any printer mapping, just having logical printers, logical and physical mapping together and mix mode as well). So, am I missing the point, or is this section not really needed for printing? And if that mapping is important, does it also apply to those default logical printers like PDF_PRINTER, NO_PRINTOU

In the payment file group header, the initiating party details will be provided. As per the bank, there should be 2 other ID tags (i.e., Initiating party tags) in the payment file group header.In the first tag, it’s picking the Initiating party <Id>xxxxxxx</Id> and SchemeNm <Cd>CUST</Cd>, which we are able to generate in the file. When it comes to the second tag, the only possible option I could see in the ISO20022 Format specific Info per Institue is by providing the details in the ‘Debtor identification info’ and by enabling the option ‘Repeat in Initiating party identification level’ but the Debtor identification details are different from the initiating part details in our case.
