Hi ,A company is required to present a balance sheet broken down by business activity types (PL energy law). These types are encoded in the CC (code part - cost center) .So - all the accounts should be split by CC .And the liabilities split looks like the most difficult issue.The distribution of a purchase invoice liability (they have a lot of invoices with several business activity types in a single document) is only known after PO  matching /final posting.But in I type voucher - there is only one liability (IP1)  row .  Distribution/division of IP1 amount  is possible –  on an additional, statistical  account  – and each invoice (and subsequently it’s  payment) can have a different proportion of amounts per CC code part. How to help customer with registration/reporting  ?Has anyone  handled/solved /customized  this problem?I would be grateful for any feedback.BR Ela

Hi All,     One of our group businesses has been grappling with APB for a few years, unable to produce a realistic, reliable schedule, at least not without significant manual rework. The ability of APB to function in our environment has been called into question, i.e. can it ever be made to work? And I have been tasked with finding a customer, in a similar industry / use case, willing to talk to us, to try and answer that question. A brief outline of our business:-A provider of engineering services; predominantly offering a make-to-print service for high-complexity, low-volume part production requiring CNC machining and grinding processes to produce. This results in a Job Shop environment configured to deal with a high-variety of products mainly seeing strangers, with few repeaters or runners. Stats:- 7.5 operations per routing (mean), 995 open shop orders, 517 unique parts across those orders, and a median lot size of 2 off. The business has recen

Hei All, We noticed that when creating a Customer Invoice in IFS, all documents attached to the corresponding Customer Order are automatically copied to the invoice. Is there a way to restrict this behavior, for example by Document Class or through another configuration?Regards,Sri

Hi Team,I am currently working on GIS integration in IFS Cloud, but I haven’t found any configuration options for automating Asset Data updates on a daily basis based on layers or features.If there is any specific documentation available on this, it would be very helpful. ThanksLokesh

I’m trying to determine how the CO Plannable Qty is calculated.  I understand how the Plannable Qty is calculated; however, when I use the same logic using the Expected Lead time, I don’t get the numbers the system is getting.For example, in the screen shot, why is the CO Plannable Qty 2510 and not 2494?

After upgrading from App8 to cloud, the ‘Close Shop’ operation has been changed to ‘Park’. Does anyone have any insights or information regarding this change?

Is it possible to search on Service Groups in FSM beyond level A?We have our service regions in Org Service Group B in Place as shown below.However when you put the Org Service Group B field on the search pane on the Place screen and try to use it the dropdown displays a small black vertical line only as shown below. It should display the active Grp Level B values form the code table below.  What I did notice is tha if you place Org Service Group A on the search, the dropdown displays all active code values regardless of group level. So I c

Hello,is there a way to include the copy of report codes when creating a new company form the template company? We think  this is arranged in the component registration but how can see whether it's activated? below we see it is activated however report codes are not copied from template company to new company: 

We want to receive labels with serial numbers, but we do not want to register these serial numbers during purchase order receipt or keep them in inventory.The label is only used when a second serial number is required for the end product (as a customer-selectable CTO option).If this label is included in the product structure/shop order materials, the system should force serial number registration when the part is backflushed / issued into the tracked structure. With the current part-level serial tracking settings, I cannot find the right solution.Has anyone solved this requirement?

Hi, When I try to build transformer model file, I’m getting this below mentioned MAVEN dependency error. Transformer modelBUILD resultI tried adding repository to the POM.xml file as IFS documentation says (https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/21r2/050_development/024_integration/015_connect/050_transformer/550_maven_http_deprecated/). But didn’t work. Can please let me know a solution for this? Is there some configuration which I have been missed?

The scenario is, external customer places an order at the demand site, with the supply code “Inter Purch Direct”.  The purchase order is sent to the supply site, and the internal customer order is created. The supply code of the internal customer order is “Purch Order Direct”, which means the supply site also buys from an external supplier. When this order is processed, the standard way is that first the PO of the supply site is completed through “register direct delivery” and then internal customer order will be delivered. Next, is to deliver the external customer order, again using register direct delivery. However, the requirement is to automatically deliver the external customer order at the moment of registering the direct delivery of the supply site PO. To elaborate more on the requirement, in the following example, S100187410 is the external customer order at site FRGLN which is the demand site. GBWFD is the supply site and the PO P10017

Is it possible to add an alert or banner type element to a page? We need to put a message on the screen to tell users what to do. But it needs to be big and bold...  

Hi, We are implementing parts of IFS Quality.  We’d like to load our historical Non-Conformance Reports.  currently IFS Cloud doesn’t allow backdated NCRs to be entered.   Short of doing a mod, is there a way to load these?  A data migration job that bypasses field validation? Has anyone done this?

We are on the path to converting to IFS cloud and I have (hopefully) a quick question.On the inbound 850 customer order creation we get the following error:Some of our customers will send a value for this and some will not.  I’ve asked our EDI provider if they can not send the field if blank.  Is there a way in IFS to handle this?  I’d like it to just ignore a blank and not go through the validation.Thanks,Tim

Has anyone seen this error message when loading or validating data for jobs with the Excel addin?  Last week we could load data the COA to the worksheet without error.  This week we are getting the above error for any of the migration jobs.  Office365Aurena  

I want to add a Navigation command group on a sub-section of Inventory Part On Hand Development.  In the screenshot below, the “header” section has an option for Commandgroups (yellow), but the sub-section that contains all of the information, Inventory Part Onhand Develop List, does not have an option for Commandgroups (red line).  Is it possible to add a Command group here?

I am looking to automate the shipping address (to Supplier A) on a PO for some component parts (from Supplier B) in IFS10There is no customer order attached to this demand, as such we cannot use the supply code (on sales part) to drive this change. We need to set this up on a per part as they only apply to a handful of parts that we order from Supplier B. (ie. We cannot set this up against the supplier record)  

Hi All, I wonder if anyone has any recommendations for Time Clock hardware?  We are upgrading from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud and will no longer be using our Kaba solution.  We have investigated Time Clock and are happy with the way it functions, but are unsure of how to implement something robust for our users. For example, I assume we will need a tablet with a built in card reader that essentially never times out that requires no interaction from the user other than a card swipe.  Does anyone have any success stories to share or recommendations for us? Many thanks, Scott

My company is upgrading from APP9 to Cloud. We’ve only found the Create Picklist for Customer Orders screen. Is there any screen or option to create picklist for customer order lines. We may have a customer order with 50 lines, all 50 are reserved, but we would only want to print the picklist for 25 of the lines. We’ve not found a way to print for specific customer order lines and avoid printing for the other 25 lines if they are on the same customer order. 

Hi,I use IFS Cloud (Application service update: 23.2.1).I create a new file type in the EDM basic data. This is for the .stp Extension (3D Files from CAD)Then I use this new file type when creating a new document revision. When I try to approve the revision, I have this message :“The number of PDF files and/or the combination of view and original files on this document is invalid for PDF signature and certification. If you are an end-user, talk to your system administrator. If you are calling this API from code, check your data or consider using the more specific method to sign your PDF file.”This file type is not PDF so I don’t want (and I can’t) use e-sign for this file.I use several document class to test and the result is the same.If I use a already created file type, this OK, I can validate it without any problems. Does somebody have any ideas about this issue ?Thanks for your feedback if you have same issue.

I have a customer that needs to send payment notice instead of using account or bank/plusgiro. This is not common nowadays but the need it. Anyone who knows how to set up this in cloud?Many thanksLena Hermodsson
