One of our IFS Cloud 25R1 customers has a somewhat unusual requirement. They would like to use the Shop Floor Workbench (or any other suitable functionality) solely to track the progress of Shop Order Operations — for example: Whether an operation has started If it has been interrupted Actual production start and end times Whether the operation is currently ongoing Similar status-related information typically tracked via the workbench However, they do not want to report quantities or scrap through the Shop Floor Workbench.In addition, they do not want the machine and labor times recorded through Shop Floor Clocking to be transferred to the actual cost of the Shop Order (they are using the weighted average valuation method). Instead, they prefer to report operation quantities and times directly through the Shop Order and want only those manu

We get a lot orders where customers do not indicated exactly when they want the product delivered because only really indicate they want the product shipped using the cheapest shipment code (i.e. Ground), so they just simply submit the order and the order is entered into IFS. These orders are either entered manually or done electronically. The issue is that we cannot have customer service reps go through every single order to determine what the Wanted Delivery should be for these orders, so IFS calculates the Wanted Delivery Date the same date as the Created Date. We don’t will call or do same day delivery, so the Wanted Delivery Date should never be the same as the Created Date.We have created pick and external transport leadtimes for all customer ship-to’s in the Customer Supply Chain Matrix. However, these only work if the Wanted Delivery is not the same same date as the Created Date. Some customers do indicate future Wanted Delivery Dates in which case the leadtimes in th

Hi,I’d like to display the “Planned Cost and Sales” tab under the “Tasks” tab directly on the Request Management Page on a 24R1 environment.To do so, I understand that I need to configure the JtTask projection to bind it to the JtTaskPlanning entity.But I’m not able to create a configuration for the JtTask projection, it doesn’t appear on the list pf configurable projections :Would someone know why JtTask isn’t a configurable projection?Regards,Caroline

The following is stated in 25R2 release notes, I believe. But what does in mine in practice? Where can I do this configuration?Improved Integration with Custom Attributes in Outbound MessagesCustom attributes on business entities can now be included in outbound messages (e.g., Freight Booking, Dispatch Advice).Uses configuration over customization.Benefits:Enhanced flexibility.Cost savings.

Hi All,I’m seeking assistance and ideas regarding an issue we are facing with ADFS Single Sign-On (SSO) for IFS Apps 10 IEE. Requirement is as below:The customer expects Windows Integrated Authentication (WIA) to log in to IFS automatically using the currently logged-in Windows user account (Domain account). They log into their domain-joined Windows machine. The same credentials should be passed automatically to IFS via ADFS. No username or password should be manually entered.

Hello everyone,when working in Forecast View in IFS Cloud, I receive the following warning message: I am trying to understand where these value should be filled in, because I cannot find any field for it in the usual locations.I already tries to find it in Sales Part and Inventory Part, but was unable to. So here is my question: Where exactly in IFS Cloud should the “Planned Sales Price” (used by Forecast View) be entered?I am interested in all the analitical views highlighed in red.

There does not appear to be any publicly available documentation confirming that IFS Cloud DB is supported on IBM AIX 7. Could someone please confirm whether IFS supports this platform? Since AIX is also a Unix-based operating system, we assume there should not be any issues, but it would be helpful to have confirmation or any supporting information.

Hi Experts Is it possible to define a planning rule and use the assumption driver as an output? Best RegardsSophal

Hi all,Our employees sometimes register their absences also in the Time Card, usually they use Register Absences. This means their supervisor doesn’t get a warning/request and cannot approve those hours via Absence Calendar, because they are not visible there. But the absence limits are adjusted with this registration.Is it possible to remove special Wage Codes from the list in “Report Time”, so the user will be forced to use Register Absences?Do you have any other advice?We already checked the Absence Group but couldn’t find a solution there.Thank youP.S. we are working with IFS cloud 25.1.4

We tried to test new funcitonality in 24R2, Calculate tax exchange rate when missing in xml file...and we have used the released note as a set up guide….. Is there information missing in the release notes? do we need more basic data to get this working properly?  We run 25R1.7 - and unfortunately, our testing has not been successfully

Hi everyone,I’m currently working with IFS workflows and E-Forms, and I’m trying to configure multiple triggers for a single work task. However, I’m seeing unexpected behavior and would appreciate some guidance. Questions Workflow Trigger Limitations Is it possible to configure multiple triggers for E-Forms on a single work task? Or is there a one-to-one limitation between a work task and workflow trigger? If multiple triggers are supported, are there any specific configuration requirements? Technical Functionality Can multiple workflows be triggered at different phases of a work task, such as: Before job start After job completion If this is suppor

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

Hi everyone,In IFS Cloud, our customer exports BOC (Bank of China) payment files as UTF-8 by default. But the bank requires ANSI (likely GBK or similar) for direct upload — otherwise, they must manually convert in Notepad each time.Is there a simple way to:Set the default encoding to ANSI/GBK in External File Template or Payment setup? Or make it configurable without heavy customization?Changing the template encoding setting doesn't seem to affect client export. Any quick config, parameter, or best practice for this (especially for Chinese banks)?Thanks for any tips!

The application allows defining future valid‑from dates for tax codes only if the tax code is not a duplicate. While this behavior is understandable as the standard application logic, it becomes a limitation in scenarios where tax rates are expected to change in the future. In such cases, users are unable to maintain multiple future tax rates for the same tax code.Currently, the only possible workaround is to create a new tax code with a different ID, even though it represents the same tax code with a revised rate. This results in multiple tax codes being created in the application, as the system does not allow maintaining the same tax code with different rates across different validity periods.If the application could filter and identify valid tax codes based on their validity period dates in the tax codes window, it would be possible to define multiple tax codes with the same ID but different tax rates.For example, the tax code ST may have a rate of

We are looking for a way to “take back” Work Assignments which have been transferred to the mobile app (MWO). Currently the only way open to us is by the App User to actively send it back.We have several cases now where going via the app is no longer possible.We have recently upgraded to 25R1 and I was hoping to use the DB Task Schedule "Remove completed/incomplete jobs” for exactly this case. But it seems to not removed the “transferred” as expected for incomplete jobsCan anyone give me the technical description? I cannot find this job in the usual place (https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/030_administration/020_bckgrnd_processing/020_database_tasks/110_predef_db_tasks/) My current setup: I would have expected it to clean up any assignments o

Hello,I want to start using a scrap factor for some purchase components. I’ve been testing  the two options.1)Inventory part, planning data , scrap factor field. This looks like it only applies the scrap factor to purchase requirements and PO’s qty. No demand is created, nor does it change the qty available in stock.  2)Change the product structure to include the scrap factor. Adding the scrap factor to the BOM looks like it will create additional demand, reduce the available inventory qty and require purchase action to satisfy the assembly + scrap factor.I don’t see any advantage to using #1 since it will not recalculate the current inventory available qty or shop order demands. I see the only change that will take place is on the purchase order level if a purchase order does exist. Is anyone using the scrap factor in the Inventory part screen with good results?
