I used “Phantom Consume” in a Product Structure. The Component with “Phantom Consume” is planned with Planning Method “A” and has no stock and no supply. If I created A Shop Order for the Top Part, the component is still in the BOM and can also not be backflushed.IF I change the component to Planning Method “P” everything works like expected. Online Help Text: A component defined as a phantom in this way behaves just as a planning method P part. If parts are available, they are backflushed; if not, the backflush process explodes to the next level in the structure.What is missing?     

HelloIn IFS Cloud, there are so many screens that had been defaulted with setting up certain conditions as below snapshot, which may make some confuses for end user when they search some items but not pop-up as expected. Can these be cleared up by users themselves or need to IT help? Please help to advice. ThanksSusan

We recently applied SU22, going from 24R1 SU6 to SU22.  After we applied the SU, their were two areas in IFS that did not work anymore.  We could not use the time clock app, it would not pull the company name after trying to perform normal IN / OUT clocking’s.  The other, we could not perform month end financials.  We have always used the out of the box IFS lobby (since Apps 10) for month end and certain reposting transactions were not showing in the lobby to close. The fix for the Time Clock app for anyone who comes up against this is to check your Company Details under HCM and make sure you have a Company ID Alias defined.  In our case we just put 1 in this field.  If this is not defined, apparently, time clock can’t pull the company name. We are still waiting for a root cause on the month end issue. Does IFS provide anything that calls out changes in their system when they now require certain basic data fields?  Or do they just release SU’s and wish you good luck? No where in the te

Hello,I would like to know if it is possible, in standard IFS functionality, to make the attachment of a document mandatory when an employee submits a specific type of absence request (for example, sick leave).Context:We would like to ensure that a supporting document (e.g. medical certificate) is systematically provided when employees request certain absence types.Question:Is there any standard configuration in IFS (Cloud) that allows making document attachment mandatory based on the absence type?If not, has anyone implemented a workaround (e.g. using custom events, validation rules, or other configurations)?Thanks in advance for your help!

Our sales team were provided read only access to customer orders, invoices, quotations and sales price lists but now I’ve been asked to restrict their access to only their customer information and data.  Management does not want a salesman to be able to pull up customer orders, invoices or sales price lists of other sales team members. I am stumped on how to fulfill this request using the IFS permission sets.  I do not see how to accomplish this request from a permission set functionality. I thought about potentially trying to create unique contexts per sales team member but I’m not sure this would work either.  If we were able to use context it would be a maintenance headache as sales team members come and go. So I’m looking for ideas on how to solve this request. Thank you,William Klotz

Hi All,We need to add some custom fields to Control Plan Template and have those fields copied to the created Control Plans when a template is applied (either by copy or by reference).We have already added several custom fields to QmanCtrlPlanTemplate and are using a workflow with the ControlPlanPurchasingHandling API – Update QmanControlPlanPurchs to copy these values to QmanControlPlanPurch during template application. This workflow is working fine.However, we also need to add a custom field to QmanCtrlPlanTempLine.When we use the ControlPlanPurchasingHandling API – Update QmanControlPlanPurchs with the nested entity ControlPlanLine to copy this custom field, the Template ID and Template Revision No are removed from the created Control Plan.It seems this happens because, in standard behavior, any modification made to Control Plan Line causes the Template ID and Template Revision No to be cleared. Our requirement is to keep the link to the template when a Control Plan is created with

Hi,Can anyone tell me how IFS FSM6 utilizes file versioning? Are there any standard practices for purging old or dated versions? Are there any issues with purging these versions? Thanks for the support.

Hi My customer is heavily using rental assets. In IFS at the moment rental asset planning is quite manual.I saw some customers and partners previously dealt with situations where businesses are heavily using rental fleets. Renal assets can be moved between sites or between companies. How would you normally track the intrasit rental assets, as soon as we ship the assets that rental asset is no longer visible in IFS until it receives back. If it is on rental yes we can track through the customer order but how we can track it when we are moving the assets? So planning team can see these assets are about to recive to X internal company etc.All possible suggestions are welcome.Thanks,Chamath

Hi All,I’m working with a customer who has a large rental fleet.I’m trying to understand how other customers plan their rental fleet in IFS. Right now, assets ownership with (“Company Rental Asset”) or rented from a supplier (“Supplier Rented”) are not planned automatically.The Rental Asset Availability page shows which rental assets are available and their rental duration, but it seems like all planning has to be done manually based on rental demand.I wanted to ask if there is an out-of-the-box solution in IFS to plan rental assets more accurately, or if anyone can share how other rental fleet customers handle this.Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Chamath

Hi All, Is there any possibility to hide a remote warehouse from the “Ship Goods and Asset” view. We are using remote warehouse as a project location. Once the project is over we ideally wants to hide/remove from the usage.Is there a way to hide specific remote warehouse from the view? Tried following option in warehouse navigator but does not have an impact on here. Did anyone had a similar requirement?Thanks,Chamath

Can we delivery custom field inside standard packages via delivery process? 

When creating a new fault report as an field technician,  it is possible to add media and/or document pictures to the fault report. Even from offline status.  This is one of the most important function when reporting a fault report. However this will not sync to ifs cloud, and just gives errors  “Illegal number value (−1) for attribute ACTIVE_SEPARATE.WO_NO” Tried to add picture as a document for a workaround, but same problem. I have found earlier post of the problem in the forum, but no solutions. Seems to me that the procedure for Media/document attachment dont wait for return of created values for WO/WO Task, so tem ID = -1. Anyone have som insight to this? I have found that the service app, kan do this, but only when Online if i understand correctly. 

Hi, I would like to get some information about why this issue occurs. It is not reproducible, but I have several orders where it has occurred.The topic is about the status Arrived after receiving from direct delivery.The status is not always present, but the position is set to automatic closing.I am sending the test plan in the attachment.

Hi,I would like to ask about translation options for business data (basic data / code lists) in IFS Cloud.These values cannot be translated using Translatable Text, as they are not UI labels but internal business data (for example data maintained in Maintenance → Basic Data, such as Incomplete Causes).Currently, there is no standard way to maintain translations for these values per language, and the only workaround is to store multiple languages directly in the description (e.g. using / or -), which is not ideal.As we have several such code lists in the system, I would like to ask whether there is any standard or recommended approach in IFS to translate business data values per user language.Any guidance or best practice would be highly appreciated.Thank you. 

Hi everyone,I'm building a REST integration on IFS 10 for a leave management application. I wanted to share an issue I'm running into and the steps I've taken so far, and hopefully get some input from anyone who has dealt with a similar setup.ScenarioI created a custom view (EMPLOYEE_SUMMARY) that joins employee data from COMPANY_PERSON_CFV with leave data from TRIFM_IZINLER4. The view also exposes a custom field I added, CF$_SUPERVISOR_NO, which is defined as a Reference type.I then exposed this view through a projection query as a REST endpoint.ProblemAfter deploying the projection, the endpoint works for a while and returns correct results. After some time, the same endpoint stops responding entirely — the request hangs and eventually times out. When this happens, I checked v$session and there's no active query hitting Oracle at all — so the request is getting stuck somewhere in the middleware layer. Redeploying brings it back temporarily, but the same cycle repeats.Additionally, fi

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionWhen Part Storage Requirements are entered, a record is automatically created in the Part Dangerous Goods Classification page, as both pages share the same logical unit.Some customers identify dangerous goods that are to be delivered via a shipment when there is a part record created in the part’s dangerous goods classification window and therefore, it is misleading when an automatic record is created in Part Dangerous Goods Classification page when storage requirements are entered.Ideally, Part Storage Requirements and Part Dangerous Goods Classification pages should work independently.B.

Hi, is it possible to configure the session timeout in IFS Cloud specifically for running quick reports?Currently, I have an issue where the report execution is interrupted after 3 minutes, so it doesn’t finish and returns no data.Is there a way to extend the session duration to, say, 5 minutes, but only for ad-hoc reports?

Hello, Is it possible to delete the filter in this dialog screen?  

When I use the milestone/staged payment, my invoices doesn’t shows up in “Invoiced Purchase Orders”. My order P8933 is using Milestones and these lines are matched with the supplier invoices. As seen below lines are in state “Invoiced”:But when looking in “Invoiced Purchase Orders”, this order will not show up. Only orders which I have matched using a receipt/arrival are there. The PO is received and closed. Am I doing something wrong?
