Hi all, We have a customer requirement related to Linear Assets in IFS Cloud and would like to understand whether anyone has implemented a functional or technical solution for a similar scenario, or if there is any official recommendation from IFS regarding this limitation.The customer requires the capability to modify the topology of existing Linear Assets, including:changing the physical extension/length of the Linear Asset; splitting existing child elements into new elements; creating new Linear Assets derived from an existing one; preserving relationships with active Work Orders, PM Plans and historical maintenance transactions.The business expectation is that when an existing Linear Asset is segmented into two or more new Linear Assets, all historical operational information should continue to be available and usable for future planning and maintenance execution in the newly created assets/elements.However, based on our analysis and tests, we understand that this is not technicall

We are upgrading a client to 25R2.I notice that there are some Permission issues which need to be resolved by amending the Projection Actions permissions on the Projection Action grants. Currently these are being identified through user testing after which the amendment to the projection takes place.Was there an easier to identify these changes (rather than rely on user testing) ?

Hello,In IFS Cloud 25R1, we have custom events with event action type REST call to trigger an outbound integration based on status changes in work task and work order. By default, when the event is triggered, in the Application Messages screen, it is tracked within the ‘Notifications’ queue. Even if we try to create a new routing rule based on REST address data from custom events and map it to a new Queue, the system sends the event messages to the default ‘Notifications’ queue.Is there a way we can isolate specific events to a new queue or is this a standard process and cannot be updated? Please let me know. 

Hello community,I have a major issue that needs to be solved as we are upgrading from apps 10 → 25R1 and we just found out that media items that are in media archive file storage cannot be brought into cloud after db uplift. So now we need to bring 29k media files back into the db in apps 10 and I see no way to do this. Anyone encounter this issue previously?

Hi all,I need to attach a document to a Manual Supplier Invoice, and my approach is to send the PDF as a Base64-encoded string wrapped in a CDATA section within an XML file.<FILE_DATA><![CDATA[JVBERi0xLjcNCiW1tbW1...]]></FILE_DATA>I referred to the below community post to create the file:The issue is that Edm_File_Storage_API.Write_Blob_Data works correctly for smaller files (around 28 KB), but it does not work for a larger file (108 KB). The attached file appears to be corrupted after upload and cannot be opened.Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?

Cloud File Storage Migration Tool can be used to migrate media items from older releases into Cloud File Storage of IFS Cloud release.But I didn’t find an information that the tool supports archived media items in the source system.Can Cloud File Storage Migration Tool also be used to migrate archived media items even if it’S not documented?If not, what would be a practicable way to migrate archived media items in Apps10 to Cloud File Storage in R24?The volume of media items is extremely big (several TB). Therefore, it’s not an option to first migrate all media items to the Apps 10 database before running the Cloud File Storage Migration Tool.

Hi, I saw a new enhancement in the 25R1 release document regarding connecting work tasks to project activities rather than at work order level. However, I have tested this out and it does not appear in the work task screen. Have I missed anything? Thanks,George.

I have six fields - Shop Order No, SO Release No, SO Sequence No, Shop Order Status, SO Lot Size, and SO Need Date - that appear on the Misc Parts tab of the Activity screen. This appears on Project Navigator too. It’s a part of the ProjectMiscProcurement LU and uses the PROJECT_MISC_PROCUREMENT view: We would like to see this fields on the Project Demand Overview screen, which is also part of the ProjectMiscProcurement LU and also uses the PROJECT_MISC_PROCUREMENT view: However, these six fields are not available on the Project Demand Overview screen. I realize I could create custom fields to get this data, but I’m wondering why I should have to do that as a workaround at all. The two screens are populated by the same LU/View and I’d like to know if there’s something else I can do to make these fields available on Project Demand Overview. 

Hi All,In the IFS project module, we can create miscellaneous demands and set the planning method to MRP. Is there a standard way in IFS to hide these demands from planning?In the customer order process, there is a “Release for Material Planning” option. We can turn it off if a specific line should not be included in planning.I noticed there is an MRP Horizon setting where demands can be excluded based on date. However, I am looking for a way to control this at the individual line level within a project. Thanks,Chamath

Hi all,Does anyone know if there is a standard solution in IFS Cloud for the following scenario?We are working with a Make-to-Order shop order where, for example, 11 main products are produced on one shop order. When the shop order is received, these 11 products are physically packed onto 10 pallets.Each pallet contains a part of the total quantity of the 11 main products. The requirement is that the receipt should result in 10 handling units, representing the 10 physical pallets. These handling units then need to be reserved to the customer order.Has anyone handled a similar process in IFS Cloud?The main questions are:Can the produced quantity be split across multiple handling units during shop order receipt? Is it possible to reserve these handling units directly to the related customer order that contains 11 main products? Is there a recommended standard process for this, or would this require a customization/workaround?Any advice, experience, or suggested setup would be appreciated

Hello,We are on 24R1 and I enabled an object connection of EcoActionObjectConn and EcrObjectConn on the RoutingHead and DocIssue logical units. I’ve refreshed the object connection cache but when I go to the Change Request screen and into the object connection tab, I do see the RoutingHead LU but it does not seem to be pulling in a default drop down list of object keys. it’s the same story with the DocIssue LU.Is there a reason for this? It seems to work with the EngPartRevision LU. See image below.I just hope to get a better understanding if there’s something I potentially missed or if this is some sort of bug. Thank you.

We have a list screens with columns. In some cases three of the columns are not immediately shown on the screen, you have to go to the Column Chooser and move them from Available to Selected for display list. We have tested this with all new users with no personal profiles setup. In some cases the fields are immediately shown, and by default in the “Selected for display” list, and in some other cases, still with user with no personal profile saved, they are in the “Available” side.If we click “Restore to default”, which we understand as “show the fields the way they are programmed on the screen, the fields are still in the “Available” list.What is making the fields show in either the Available or Selected for display list? I know personal profile plays a role, but what else? Is it some meta data saved somewhere?We are expecting to see all the fields immediately on the screen.The version is 24R1. 

Hi all,Need some help regarding Report Studio. In IFS Report Designer, we usually use pageNumber() and totalPages() functions to get the page number and total pages.However, these functions are not working in Report Studio. I have also tried some processing attributes but none of them seem to work either.If anyone knows how to get the page number and total pages through Report Studio, that would be very helpful.Thanks in advanceRegards

Good morning, community,  We are having an issue when using count report, serial tracked items cannot be listed into the stock.  The systems says that if I have just 1 PC on stock, I can find just that one or neither, there is not an option to give “2”.  How do I get serial tracked part on stock, then?  Thank you, Best RegardsPetaKu

HI,I’m currently trying to add a new payment method under Supplier → Payment → Payment Method.While creating the new payment method, I also added a new payment format. I would like to understand the relationship between the Payment Method and the Payment Format & effect to finance and GL.In this particular case, the supplier payment is not made via cash, cheque, or any other standard payment method. Instead, the settlement is done through goods.Therefore, I would appreciate clarification on how this scenario should be configured and handled in the system.Regards,TharakaN

Hi,In Project Deliverables – Material & Services, item number 101582 is linked to the supply PO O100033859, which is currently in Closed status (Order Status = Closed). However, in Project Deliverables – Design, the status of the same connected item 101582 remains Approved.We expect the status to move to 'Completed' once the related supply is closed. Could you please confirm whether there is any application setup or configuration that controls this status synchronization?  

Hello Community,Need your expertise on below scenario, any input or ideas are welcome as I am trying to figure this out still. We are running a bit unusual intercompany set up with an integration between app 8 and cloud.we are using INET_TRANS as media code to support this as it generates an application messagefor DIRDEL and INVOICE message classes INET_TRANS does not seem to trigger the application messages , my requirement is to generate an application message for DIRDEL and INVOICE so we can communicate to APP8 from cloud to process direct delivery and invoicing, dispatch advice is triggering. I have message class added in both ends message defaults enabled to create automatically as well.  

Hey everyone,Found a neat workaround for assigning Base Profiles in IFS Cloud since it's not officially supported yet. Sharing it with you all.Let me know your thoughts!

Hello,My name is Tomek and we’re starting to implement IFS Cloud 25R1 at my company.Please check  whether it works for you.I have a migration task with data export to a file in the OnServer directory. The directory was created in Windows and as an Oracle directory. It also has an archive subdirectory (Windows and Oracle). In the migration task rules, I have the FILEBKP rule active, pointing to the Oracle directory (archive)After the task is completed, a file named file.txt should be created in the destination directory (and this works), and according to the rule, a backup file named file*.bkp should be created in the Archive directory. However, this file is not being created. FILEBKP is enabled in the Default Rules.This works very well in IFS8, but not in IFS Cloud.What could be the cause of this?Thank youTomek   

Hi! We have over 25 000 Accounts in IFS. Is there an easy way, or any way, in IFS Cloud to search for accounts without connected objects such as sales quotations, orders, leads or business opportunities? An account clean-up is long overdue.

Does MSO consider labor from work tasks that aren’t connected to a work center/machine as part of the labor capacity? 

Hello everyone,I’m trying to use the REPLAN Customer Order Lines function in IFS Cloud, but my customer order lines are not being updated as expected. Here’s my scenario:Part setup: Inventory part, MRP planning, availability check enabled. Stock: No parts in stock. Supply: Purchase Order is planned and expected to arrive (see details below). Customer Order Line: Created and released, linked to the above part. When I run REPLAN CO LINE: The customer order line is not updated (planned delivery date does not change).Questions:Are there any specific settings or prerequisites I might be missing (e.g., supply code, sourcing rule, capability check, etc.)? No parts in stockPO planned to arrive as per below  Customer Order Line as MRP Planning  

Hi everyone,I have a requirement to enable Project History Logging for multiple projects simultaneously, specifically to run as a Scheduled Database Task at the start of each month.The goal is to automate a "snapshot" of project status for monthly reporting across the entire portfolio (or a subset of projects) without manual intervention. After exploring the standard functional paths in IFS Cloud, we’ve hit a few roadblocks.Please see the following methods I’ve attempted already, Method #1: The History Logging Assistant We tried using a wildcard % in the Project ID field within the History logging on Project assistant. As suspected (given the assistant's name), it returned an error as it seems to be designed for single-project execution.     Method #2: Projects Overview Page I’ve attempted to multi-select projects in the Projects overview screen to trigger a mass history log. However, the "Project History" option is unavailable in the command menu when multiple rows are selected.  Is
