HI,I’m currently trying to add a new payment method under Supplier → Payment → Payment Method.While creating the new payment method, I also added a new payment format. I would like to understand the relationship between the Payment Method and the Payment Format & effect to finance and GL.In this particular case, the supplier payment is not made via cash, cheque, or any other standard payment method. Instead, the settlement is done through goods.Therefore, I would appreciate clarification on how this scenario should be configured and handled in the system.Regards,TharakaN

Hi,In Project Deliverables – Material & Services, item number 101582 is linked to the supply PO O100033859, which is currently in Closed status (Order Status = Closed). However, in Project Deliverables – Design, the status of the same connected item 101582 remains Approved.We expect the status to move to 'Completed' once the related supply is closed. Could you please confirm whether there is any application setup or configuration that controls this status synchronization?
Hello Community,Need your expertise on below scenario, any input or ideas are welcome as I am trying to figure this out still. We are running a bit unusual intercompany set up with an integration between app 8 and cloud.we are using INET_TRANS as media code to support this as it generates an application messagefor DIRDEL and INVOICE message classes INET_TRANS does not seem to trigger the application messages , my requirement is to generate an application message for DIRDEL and INVOICE so we can communicate to APP8 from cloud to process direct delivery and invoicing, dispatch advice is triggering. I have message class added in both ends message defaults enabled to create automatically as well.
Hey everyone,Found a neat workaround for assigning Base Profiles in IFS Cloud since it's not officially supported yet. Sharing it with you all.Let me know your thoughts!
Hello,My name is Tomek and we’re starting to implement IFS Cloud 25R1 at my company.Please check whether it works for you.I have a migration task with data export to a file in the OnServer directory. The directory was created in Windows and as an Oracle directory. It also has an archive subdirectory (Windows and Oracle). In the migration task rules, I have the FILEBKP rule active, pointing to the Oracle directory (archive)After the task is completed, a file named file.txt should be created in the destination directory (and this works), and according to the rule, a backup file named file*.bkp should be created in the Archive directory. However, this file is not being created. FILEBKP is enabled in the Default Rules.This works very well in IFS8, but not in IFS Cloud.What could be the cause of this?Thank youTomek
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.

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
