Does anyone know of a way to temporarily prevent receipting of POs. We require a period of non-transactions while other processes are being undertaken. We would like to prevent receipting POs during that period.We are using Apps 9, but I guess it will be the same logic as for Apps 10

Hello IFS Community,After creating a custom attribute using IFS Studio Developer and compiling the .cre file, I have a question regarding the .cdb file creation.When creating the .cdb file, do I need to copy the entire content of the .cre file, or only the section where the custom attribute is declared?For example:DECLARE   table_name_ VARCHAR2(30) := 'TRANSPORT_TASK_TAB';   columns_    Database_SYS.ColumnTabType;   column_     Database_SYS.ColRec;BEGIN   Database_SYS.Reset_Column_Table(columns_);   Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'TRANSPORT_TASK_ID', 'NUMBER', 'N');   Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'PRINTED_FLAG', 'NUMBER', 'N');   Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'CREATE_DATE', 'DATE', 'N');   Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'NOTE_TEXT', 'VARCHAR2(2000)', 'Y');   Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'FIXED', 'VARCHAR2(5)', 'N');   Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(columns_, 'SPLIT_BY_HU_CAPACITY', 'VARCHAR2(5)', 'N');   Database_SYS.Set_Table_Column(col

Hi, I know many of you have a need / have asked how to use IFS to produce a given result. At a high level, many have asked how to consider a combination of code part values (for example account 1234 with cost center AAA then assign that combination a value. It could be for financial reporting; or it could be assigning a local account when a country requires local account and GL account. To resolve issues, I’ve seen for over a dozen different clients, I created an idea. Please take a look and upvote if you agree this is important functionality.  FYI, over the next couple weeks I plan to create a number of “ideas” where I’ve seen numerous requests from clients over the years.  The link is Create something like Code String Combination Attributes | IFS Community Best regards, Thomas

Hi All,When WO is executed through MWO and technician uses travel portion by using start travel and Waiting at location options, clocking will be generated for travel category. Usually in implementation projects how we calculate the travel resource group cost per hour ?Following components are arrived from my thought process -Average salary of resources per skill per hour Average transportation cost per hour. But here this is no compulsion of which vehicle type will be used per instant. Depreciation cost per hour of the vehicle. But here there is no compulsion on vehicle type used per instant.Though this might not be application consultant responsibility to suggest customer instead it depends on past experience of customer and advice through management consultant. But this question arises frequently in project implementations. I know PSO has travel models where cost/mile calculation functionality is available but in case of ESM and EAM solution any advice on this topic will help.Thanks

Hello, IFS Heroes… I have found in IFS official documentation this description: ‘If using the PM Grouping Rule on PM actions, the PM actions with same values for grouping rule parameters defined and that fall due at same time will be generated into one work order. This will result in all work list lines planned on the PM actions becoming work tasks on the generated work order. “ Key words of these statement  “fall due at same time will be generated into same work order”  I  consider this as if works should be done at a same day it will be grouped to one work order. But, unfortunately, all works grouped in one work order from start of a month and to a end of the month. Is it feature or bug? What do you think?

We have found a scenario where when we try and move a handling unit, the contents become misaligned.we have discovered only happens when we are executing this functionality in French, when the UI is set to English the operation completes successfully.  Any clue what’s behind this scenario?

Will there be adversely affect/cause issues, if the receipt date on inventory part in stock line changed after a data migration process? 

We have a sporadic issue when some users go to enter a new charge line on a customer order, the new line will display in the table, they will choose the charge type then when they click OUT of the charge type field, the whole new line disappears.When the line disappears the ‘Cancel New’ option is available. it appears the system knows there is a new line but no longer displays it for the user.It is nearly impossible to recreate and only happens to two employees so far. The only way they can correct it is by signing out of IFS Cloud and then logging back in.Has anyone else experienced this behavior? 

Can anyone tell me how to create an entity filter for Mobile Work Order, so my technicians only see the work orders for their default site? I tried this WHERE clause (see screenshot) but it is not working: CONTRACT = #USER_DEFAULT_SITE# OR (USER_ID = #USER_ID#)

Our security grants in Mobile Applications are for MainEngApp 24 . Many of our users mobile clients have been updated to v25, but not all of them. What impact does this have on performance of the mobile application? Do we need to create a new application within IFS for v25 and grant security to it? 

Hi,In Excel plug-in order reports, the excel is not previewing/downloading when the number of records are more. It is showing PDF not created error in Aurena, and stream not readable error in IEE. The report output was having 60k + records. Is there any size limitation for the excel plugin reports? Or any solution is available. I am using IFS 10 Aurena. There is no issue when running the same report for smaller set of records.

Is there a way to configure to open a link in a lobby element in a new window? Currently navigates to the link and open it in the same tab  

Dear all, does anyone know which table stores lobby element statement?We need this information to make impact analysis on all lobbies when we modify the usage of data (ex: adding a new employee category). Thanks a lot for your help KR

Hi Experts,In MWO we can set Work Status On shift, Off shift also report Breaks as well.   I can see these data is Syncing back to the Clould as well then where I can find these information in the Cloud? I need to capture these Shift log in and log out time also Break start and end time for technicians. Thank you,KM

I need to find the table name where I can find the data related to command buttons in IFS cloud.  

Hi,we would like to report the picking via the REST API in the shipping process. (I know how the API basically works and we have already been able to implement other interfaces with it). As we often have shipping processes with more than 100 parts and do not pick them in one day, we would like to confirm the picking item by item. This works in the web interface via ‘Report Picking of Pick List Lines’: When I display the history in the ‘Log Window’, ‘ReportPickingOfPickListLines.svc/FndTempLobs’ is called up. Here I cannot enter the line, article, location, lot or quantity. It is unclear to me how IFS works at this point.I then looked at the functionality for the mobile scanners (Warehouse Data Collection):You have to confirm each step individually, which is too much for us. That's why we want to simplify the whole process for the user via the REST API. But again, I don't understand the REST API. For example, ‘WarehouseDataCollectionHandling.svc/ScanningClientVirtualSet(Objkey=’2311377A

Hi Does anyone know what does it mean this message? By default final one is Accepted but I do not understand transition Accepted to Acknowledged. Any business process requires that?

My customer is using the Self-service Procurement and the Punch out functionality. The customer needs to do some extra stuff when each cart line is created. This is solved by a custom event which is posting a background job, which is running some logic doing the extra stuff.The above works fine when you add parts to the cart from the catalog. Each created cart line, creates a background job by the event. But, when using the Punch out, the background job ending upp in error: “FndUser does not exist”. Looking at the background job you can see that there is no user added inte “Fnd User”-field. To me this means that the session that creates the cart line (from the Punch out), and at the end also creating the background job by the event, is some other user. I don’t know the logic behind the Punch out-integration, but it seems like cart line is created by a “ghost” user, at least not normal Fnd users. Can anyone bring some light over the Punch out-integration and maybe explain “who” is actua

Hi everyone,I’m working in the namespace and the pods are getting IPs in the 10.1.x.x range. This is causing some connectivity issues with other services. ifs-db-init-cjp5g                                               10.1.204.235ifs-virus-scanner-7698b7994c-q2g2w        10.1.204.228ifsapp-am-workqueue-7d895cf959-ps29f  10.1.204.252ifsapp-amm-55cd5bb94b-dmwth                 10.1.204.251 Does anyone have advice or experience on how to safely change the pod IP range to a different subnet (like `10.14.x.x`)?

Hello, I have made a Custom Field on a tabular model table and while the data shows up when I run it in SQL but when I go to add it to the Power BI report, the field is there but no data populates for that field. Any suggestions to get data to populate in Power BI as well? I’ve ran a data load and did a “Full” Process Definition refresh for my tabular model as well. Thanks,Jay

Does anyone have a suggestion on how we can track who and when lobbies are being used in apps 10? Or course we can create an API with a get-function that updates a history table when called, but I wonder if anyone came up with something more elegant or had a discussion with IFS on this? One of the recent updates enables this for quick reports and this is a great tool which can help us identify which reports are important and which could be phased out (we have 2000 reports build over many years). 

Hi All, In standard Work Orders, we have the possibility to create a ‘new Service Quotation’ from the WO. In that way, the customer can agree to the work before we start the work and there is no discussion when invoicing them later on. Does the same functionality exist for a “New Repair RMA”? We have a customer where a customer initiates a RMA process by reporting a fault, the RMA is created and the Equipment is sent back into a QA location. And inspection is done and we define the parts/resources that need to be done in order to repair the Equipment (all of it is logged into the Repair Bench).  But before we actually start repairing, we want to sent a quotation to the customer explaining the details of the repair and the price associated with the repair. Ideally, the applicable sales part lines from the Repair Bench would be copied to that quotation. Best RegardsRoel

Hi.We’ve created a quick report to fetch some specific data and we’re hoping to schedule said report to run on a weekly basis and e-mail the file to a specific person.I have IFS_ALL permissions as the scheduling user.The report query is as follows:SELECT DISTINCT A.*, B.CF$_CC_SUPPLIERFROM PROD_STRUCTURE_CFV AINNER JOIN MULTI_LEVEL_STRUCTURE_CFV B ON A.COMPONENT_PART = B.COMPONENT_PARTWHERE A.QTY_PER_ASSEMBLY = 1 AND A.PRINT_UNIT = 'm' AND A.CONTRACT = 'ULV'AND B.CF$_CC_SUPPLIER = '5808'The report itself executes just fine within Cloud, and we can manually export the resulting data, but when we try and schedule it, the background job ends in an error. The errors listed in the Background Job details are as follows:ORA-31011: XML parsing failedORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.QUICK_REPORT_TEMPLATE_RPI", line 305ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processingLPX-00007: unexpected end-of-file encounteredORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 272ORA-06512: at line 1ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.QUICK_REPORT_TEMPLATE_R

Please advise on how to handle this error. I would like to enable inventory part movement using the Migration Job in IFS.To achieve this, I added Move_Inventory_Part_SVC.Do_Update_Inventory_Part_In_Stock_Delivery to the METHOD LIST tab.However, when I clicked the Save button, the following error occurred.Error message:[Error making attribute and references - value too large for column "IFSAPP"."INTFACE_METHOD_LIST_ATTRIB_RTB"."COLUMN_NAME" (actual: 34, maximum: 30)]
