Subject: Material Allocation & Nesting Approach – Feedback Request IFS Version: 25R2Industry: Metal fabrication for façades (curtain walls) Business ContextLarge curtain wall manufacturing projects are initiated using architectural drawings, which do not contain finalized manufacturing details.This creates a challenge, as metal extrusions must be procured well in advance, before detailed engineering drawings are completed.However, based on architectural drawings, the customer can estimate material requirements and proceed with initial purchasing, for example:  1000AL201H-5M – Aluminum Bar (H type, powder coated, 5m) – 60 pcs 1000AL201H-6M – Aluminum Bar (H type, powder coated, 7m) – 70 pcs 1000AL201U-10M – Aluminum Bar (U type, powder coated, 10m) – 25 pcs These materials are received into inventory and allocated to a project activity.Later, once engineering is finalized (after design iterations and change orders), the final panel structures are defined. Manufacturing Requireme

Hi IFS Community!I’ve been tasked with hunting down why a Scheduled Database Task for process Mrp_Process_API.Schedule_Mrp_Process__ keeps ending with a status of ‘Error’. The Error Text field has a notice “This background job was set to state Error because the executing Oracle process was killed. ( Detected by cleanup process at 2025-01-08-23.49.11 )”. I’ve checked out a few other Community posts noting that the Light Cleanup process may be responsible, but the Light Cleanup job was posted / started executing 2 seconds after the time reported in the MRP background job. The last bit of output in the background job is:“Site X MS Calculation for MS parts that have received exploded demand started at 20250108 21:36:24”I’ve checked out the Oracle Alert log and other background jobs executing around the same time that the process was killed, but the only thing that I see being suspicious is this entry in the Oracle Alert log:2025-01-08T23:54:59.981027-06:00NET  (PID:13564): Possible network

Hi there IFS Community!I have a hopefully interesting issue that I’d like a larger audience in reviewing. I received a request to expose the field CORPORATE_FORM, associated with the CustomerInfo LU on the Customers overview screen (Presentation Object ID tbwCustomerInfoOverview). I can see that there’s the option to make a mandatory field in the Properties > Mandatory tab, but no option to expose it via the column chooser.Is this normal behavior for this overview screen, or would I need to make “dumb” custom read-only fields to expose these fields? Other read-only custom fields are presentable just fine, so it has me a tad puzzled on whether I’m missing something, or need to bite the bullet and make this a “recursive” read-only field.Customers overview aware of Corporate Form field Corporate Form not available in Column Chooser (custom fields available) Thank you everyone for taking the time to review, and look forward to any discussions :)Regards,Randy

Is there a way to have one request contract  and tie it to multiple Recurring Service Programs with differing customers?  We had planned on using request contracts for our rental program where thru the course of an service object’s life, the object is either at a customer location or in house location. Below is an example of what we are trying to achieve. Service object PC4500-80-10017728 is a ‘Company Rental Asset’ The object is tied to 2 parties, the internal customer and an external customer.  As time progresses as this object goes on rent and off rent there will be multiple more Party’s.  The object’s location is currently at the external party’s location.  For our rental program we are using Request Contracts to drive activity types on Requests.  It’s a CRIM.  We are using Request Contracts to view all RSPs tied to a customer.  For rental there are 2 customers, the internal customer and the external customer. Screenshot of Request 63…  Note the main customer is our internal custom

Hi All, I get this error “Cannot find model file” when deploying a fragment file with dependents: Here’s what i tried:I did a codebase search of “PromoActivityLov” but there were no hits in the workspace or the build folder.I looked at the projection svc, client cpi and the metadata docs to see if there were any occurrences there but I couldn't find any.I deleted the entire cache folder of developer studio (AppData\Roaming\DeveloperStudio\18\) and redeployed the fragment but the error is still there. Any other options left to resolve this? because I’m stumped at this point. Any help is appreciated thanks!(FYI, the fragment file is in RMCOM) thanks,/Sayuru

Hi everyone,We are currently using IFS Applications 10 and we are looking for a way to automate our Cash Flow Forecast process.Currently, we are refreshing/generating the forecast manually, but we would like to schedule this task to run automatically (e.g., every night or at specific intervals) so the data is always up-to-date when the finance team starts their day.I have a few questions regarding this: Is there a standard Scheduled Database Task available for refreshing Cash Flow Forecast data? If so, what is the exact name of the task? Are there any specific parameters or "Snapshot" settings we should be aware of when running this as a background job? If a direct scheduled task is not the recommended way, what are the best practice alternatives for automating the cash flow refresh in App 10? Any guidance or screenshots of the setup would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,I would like to better understand how Read Type and Read Type Validation work in IFS FSM, specifically in the context of the Meter Readings table.However, I still have some questions:What is the exact role of Read Type within the Meter Readings table? How does Read Type Validation work when validating these readings? What kind of rules are typically applied? Are these validations configurable? If so, where are they defined? Are there any best practices for using these concepts in meter reading scenarios?If anyone can share practical examples or official documentation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Community,we are experiencing a strange UI behavior in ACL Designer when using the dark theme.The text on this page is displayed in black, which makes the content very hard (almost impossible) to read. This issue seems to be limited to the ACL Designer page only.Has anyone encountered a similar issue?Are there any known workarounds or configuration options, or is switching users to the light theme currently the only solution?We use Application service update: 25.1.5 and Framework service update: 25.1.10Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi, As a customer can we use Dev Studio on Apps 10 to create a custom projection which could then be called REST? We need an eTag which is why the Quick Report option is not suitable.Thanks,Matt

Hi All, I have this scenario what I cannot figure how to set-up and support, either in core or with a CRIM.. The customer has products, planned according MTO and use DOP in IFS for 6 levels. The Top Product has a leadtime of 5 days and multiple operations.The componets are connected to operations, planned demand spread over the 5 days routing. All sub-assemblies and purchase parts are backward planned according to start date of each DOP Order Operation/Shop Order Operation. Now to the issue.I want all sub-assemblies to be planned the week before start date of the Top Shop Orders. Equal “gap” between 1st level sub-assemblies to 2nd level sub-assemblies and so on. I have multiple operations but one work center per level which means that I cannot use Queue time as the add queue time for all operations. I cannot use off-set time as the compnents are and must be connected to operations.I apprichiate any suggestions to solve this in core or by a clever CRIM. Offcourse a manual solution exist

Are skill unavailabiltiies an option? Either now or in the future. Currently we only have the option for skill availabilities (inclusive range) We would like to have the option exclude a period of time from a skill (unavailability)Also, can the maximum duration of a skill availability be increased further than 99 days? I would need to utilize a skill availability to 6 months or more (seasonal demand etc) 

Hi All, I experience that Selection Rules for Service Delivery Unit is not working in 25R2.I have set three selection rules for the service TK-AZN as below. Objective is getting a different delivery unit as per different regions. But when I creating a service, the default delivery unit for the service organization is always fetched even if I use different regions.As I remeber these rules worked fine before.Are there any workarounds other than setting selection rule to fetch the correct delivery unit? Or is it same for others?TIA:

Hello IFS Community,I have a rental order that has been delivered. I created a draft invoice, which I then canceled.I wanted to change an amount on one of the lines of my order, but I can’t do it. So I tried to cancel the line and/or the order, but since rental transactions have been created, I can’t cancel anything.Right now I’m stuck; I can’t invoice this order, cancel it, or change the amount. How can I resolve this situation?Thank you in advance for your responses,Mathilde

Hello,I have a question regarding SEPA payment file generation in IFS.We would like to understand how IFS handles grouping of supplier invoices into one payment transaction in the generated XML file.Today, it seems that IFS is generating separate payment transactions instead of grouping them, even when the invoices belong to the same supplier. Thank you for your help, Best regards, Abdessamad
