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)]
Hello everyone,To run a BPA from an API, I have been using this URL for a while:main/ifsapplications/projection/engine-rest/process-definition/key/BPA_NAME/startAnd in the body of the API, I pass it the property:“withVariablesInReturn”: trueThis allows me to directly retrieve all the variables used in the workflow in the API return.However, I have noticed that this no longer works beyond SU6 in 25R1.Have you encountered this issue?Thank you.Theo
When printing report Shop order work instruction with “print attached documents” selected. The report prints fine, the documents dialog pops up allowing the user to select which connected documents to print. However this seems to bypass the configured macro functionality for the document classes. Is this by design? Or is there a workaround or a way to extend the print attached documents function to ensure configured print document macros are run. The business has a number of essential functions which the macros run and this seems to skip them. The client is using 25 R1.
Does anyone have a simple explanation of what the Filter and Grouping does, please?I naively anticipated (having filtered on all “open” projects) the chart would split the ‘stack’ (a la Excel Stacked Column) to show total hours per project - one colour per project?Or is that not the intent? I’m not clear what “Projects exists as parameter” indicatesFilter and Grouping on ProjectsThis table is used to group and filter on multiple projects and highlight them in the Resource Analysis page. The Project Group Text is used to describe the selected projects and will be shown in the Resource Analysis.If multiple projects should be added to the filtration and grouping, there are different ways to filter the projects shown in the list:All Projects If this is selected, all projects will be shown. Projects exist as parameter If this is selected, only projects that already entered to the list will be shown. Projects not exist as parameter If this is selected, only projects that are not already en

Dear Community,We are facing an issue in IFS Applications 9 where the DBA_NETWORK_ACLS configuration is getting reset after each reconfiguration or installation.Due to this behavior, we are required to manually reapply the ACL settings every time using the following DB command: exec sys.dbms_network_acl_admin.assign_acl( acl => 'IFSAPP-PLSQLAP-Permission.xml', host => 'xxxxxx.com', lower_port => xxxxx, upper_port => xxxxx);This manual step is becoming repetitive and error-prone after each deployment activity.We would like to understand:Which configuration file or component stores the ACL settings? How can we ensure that custom ACL entries persist after reconfiguration or installation? Is there a recommended or supported approach to maintain these settings in IFS Applications 9?We would greatly appreciate any guidance or best practice recommendations to resolve this issue.Thank you in advance for your support.Best regards,
I’m having trouble triggering a workflow from a projection call. When a button is clicked in Aurena, it launches an API call in batch mode — for example, when creating a customer order line or closing a period. However, I can’t find the specific call within the batch process to link it to my workflow. Does anyone have any ideas or guidance on this? Same issue when creating a customer order line. Thank you for your help. @kamnlk @dsj any help would be appretiated :)
Hi I am trying to enable the subscription functionality for the document revision page. Idea is that I want to receive notification when the status of the document revision is changed. I can do this per document revision but I am trying to enable it for the entire page. So I dont have to do it one by one.Anyone know how we can achieve this in IFS? Thanks,Chamath
In IFS Report Designer, If you are trying to add a logo into report, there is another specific way to do that. Here I’m going to explain how to add any static image into report. But you also can use this method to add logo as well.Steps: * Note : From now I will use ‘img’ as the image file nameFirst you need to create Media Item on application. - Navigate to the Media Item Window and create new, fill all the mandatory fields then save. - You created a new media item, now you need to upload an image into this media item. Also image should be in JPG, JPEG or PNG format (img.png / img.jpeg / img.jpeg). --Browse(01) and select appropriate image, then save(02). You can now display this image in the report you want. For that first you need add attribute into the .REPORT and create new cursor and update the RDF.CURSOR get_img(img_name_ VARCHAR2) IS SELECT item_id company_logo FROM media_item WHERE name = img_name_; img_ VARCHAR2(100); After that, you ca
We made a payment to a supplier but the payment was rejected. We need to cancel payment and receive the cash back into the cash account. The payment was done in a batch and we do not want to cancel the entire batch. By doing a partial rollback, this will park the supplier payment. How do we get that parked payment to clear and credit cash? We were able to do this in apps 9 via the Supplier Payment screen but have not been able to do this via mixed payment in Cloud. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hello everyone,I would appreciate hearing experiences from companies that migrated from IFS Applications 10 to IFS Cloud (on-prem deployment).We are supporting a manufacturing company that has been an IFS customer for many years (starting from Apps 8, later upgraded to Apps 10) with active maintenance/support continuity. The company is now evaluating a transition to IFS Cloud while still keeping the environment on-premise.During the transition discussions, several additional subscription components and third-party requirements appeared as part of the proposed model. We are trying to better understand what is generally considered standard or mandatory in real-life upgrade projects.Especially for companies moving from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud:Were Oracle EE subscriptions mandatory? Was IFS Cloud Foundation / Remote Deployment mandatory even for on-prem installations? Were tools like BPA, Industry Lobbies, 2C8 Modelling Tool, etc. required as part of the transition? How did your annual mainte
Hi,We have setup docman in a new cloud environment and customer migrated all of his documents over to new drive as well. After the new setup, customer can attach new documents and can review old documents without any issue.Questions When we check the File Storage, all documents are going in one folder ‘DocMan’ in the folder newly created and customer wants to save documents in different folders like below. Any documentation on how we can do a setup using File Storage repository type that fulfills customer requirements? 2. When examining the document names within the folder, they appear in an unreadable format. How can we store them in a manner that is readable and easily understood? Many thanks for your inputs on this issue.Best regards,Uvini

We are in 25R1. Our scheduled data load jobs are showing as submitted but are not actually starting in the DB. If we manually start them, they run fine. Has anyone else come across this issue and found a solution?
The user has access to the function “Manage Widgets”. The user see only ths Widgets. How I can add the other Widgets like “Daily Project Time Reporting” and “Work Task Time Reporting” to the User Permission Set?
We are having a problem where we are unable to generate request as something has change in the Recurring Service Program that requires the schedule to be regenerated. We have a database task that runs to create the request. The issue is if the schedule needs regenerated a request is not created and there is no visibility to the issue until it is discovered at a later date. In a test environment I put a RSP into a state of "Regenerate the Schedule" by toggling the "Floating Schedule" on and Off.There doesn't seem to be an overview with that information.I attempted to find “Regenerate the Schedule” in the view: RECURRING_PROGRAM_SCHEDULE and when I created a query for that view, there doesn't appear to be a column that suggests we need to Regenerate the schedule. Is there an easy way to know whether we need to Regenerate the Schedule for a particular RSP without searching one by one through thousands of RSPs? Is there an overview or lobby element we can view to see this information
Hi all,during a 25R1 to 25R2 upgrade, we converted several custom materialized views to the new declarative .views syntax to make them EBR compliant.The generated `CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW` statements use:EVALUATE USING CURRENT EDITIONThis is expected according to the .views documentation.However, we found that materialized view creation can terminate the DB connection with:No more data to read from socketIn our case, this happened when the source view dependency chain contained constructs such as:DISTINCT ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (... ORDER BY ...)After rewriting the affected source views to avoid these constructs, the materialized views were created successfully.Examples of workarounds that helped:Replaced DISTINCT with GROUP BY Removed unnecessary ORDER BY clauses from view definitions Replaced ROW_NUMBER() OVER (... ORDER BY ...) logic with MAX / GROUP BY logicWe also found one deployment-order trap.Calling Database_SYS.Prepare_M_V_For_EBR from a CDB file was problematic, because
Hello, Project invoices created from AFPs are based on the certified values entered in the AFP. As such, the invoice lines are not editable. Any adjustments to the invoiced values must therefore be managed directly through the AFP.Accordingly, the current process is to credit the entire invoice, apply the required adjustments in the AFP, and then generate a new invoice from the updated AFP.The credit invoice will include a reference to the original invoice against which it was created. Alternatively, a new AFP can be created with the corrected figures, and a new invoice can then be raised from that AFP.In PL legislation the Correction Invoices should be issued (instead of credit invoices).Correction Invoice should indicate the changes to original invoice and should not credit the whole value of the initial Invoice (as long as the whole invoice is not wrong).Each Correction Invoice should indicate the link to the preceding Correction Invoice (or to a Sales Invoices), items which were c
Version 24.1.22 I saw an older post asking if there was a way to connect multiple documents to an object, which was eventually implemented as a feature. I was curious if there was a similar feature that allowed users to connect multiple Objects, like Inventory Parts, to a Change Request. If so, was this also implemented in 24R2, or a later version?
Hi,When IFS Cloud sends an outgoing message to a 3rd party system, an Application Message is generated which contains an External Message ID identifier. This is a GUID which we believe is generated by IFS:Can someone advise me when this is created? Is it when the application message is first created? If so, can it be added to the outgoing payload either as a parameter or a header on that message?We would like to catch this ID and store it somewhere so that, should the message need to be replayed (due to a failure for example), then we have a method of finding it easily and resending it via standard IFS Connect.Thanks
Hi all,It's regarding, how to get Logged-In User Id in Workflow.I have successfully fetched the Logged-In User Id with single block workflow (Thanks @dsj for guiding). However, workflow returns the null value with same script when adding another block to read ApprovalRouting data. I noticed another behaviour as well. If I test workflow just after validating the BPMN for Workflow Command, sometime randomly it works. @dsj will appreciate your input.
Hello Together,We went live with a customer and currently face an issue:That costs does not appear on cost bucket detail after running the calculation for all articles (all part calculation)but you can see all results in the overview “part cost variances”: The Question is can rely on the results listed in this overview and just copy them to cost bucket 1? If you run the calculation for all levels the cost appears in the cost bucket details again.Anyone has an idea on this one?Kind regards
