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​​​​​​​

Problem We have an Entity ShopMaterialAlloc with some Custom Fields   I want to create a Tab List in “Shop Floor Workbench” Page to show “Where Used Material” based on association between “ShopOrderOperation” and “ShopMaterialAlloc”OPERATION_NO - CF_MATR_WHERE_USED_OPERORDER_NO - ORDER_NORELEASE_NO - RELEASE_NOSEQUENCE_NO - SEQUENCE_NO In Projection Configuration for “ShopFloorWorkBenchHandling” I can’t select “ShopMaterialAlloc” as Child Entity though it should be an entity known to “ShopFloorWorkBenchHandling”  I already have other tabs in “Shop Floor Workbench” showing Custom Entities where this works fine So how can I create a new association to “ShowMaterialAlloc” 

When using Customer Relationships within Customers and using scenario 1 where the parent company holds the credit limit, why does the above report show the  same credit limit for the child?Is there a way around this as its a standard report and unwilling to create a separate report for this issue/Thanks

In 25R1, we are attempting to incorporate Public Holidays into the planning allocations for Work Tasks.We have created the Schedule Exceptions and linked them to a Calendar.The same Calendar has also been linked to both the Site and the Resource Individual.However, within the Resource Monitoring Gantt, the Public Holiday is still not being recognised.Notice how the Saturday and Sunday is treated as a non-working day, we want the same for Public Holidays.     

Hello Community,In IFS Cloud, while importing multiple permission sets, the system gives us a summary and allows us to select whether to merge, skip or replace the permissions. We need to do this for each permission manually. Is there an option to select one option for all permissions or a group of permissions? Thanks in advance!

Hi All,We need to change the format of BOC payment file from UTF-8 to ANSI by doing through the batch process in IFS Cloud.The approach is to use the batch process (background job) with defined character sets if we need to generate file encoding with ANSI format.Could you please explain and let me know how to apply a defined character set to the job when it runs?Regards,Vignesh

The customer has been upgraded to version 25R1 and observed that several triggers in the Scheduling Optimization Triggers window are currently in a disabled state.In the core application, these triggers are available starting from version 24R1 and are also delivered in a disabled state.The customer’s concern is whether these triggers should remain as they are or if they need to be manually enabled.Additionally, they would like to understand if there is any impact in keeping these triggers disabled.Any information will be greatly appreciated.   Thank you,Madushani 

Hello everyone,I’m very new to the IFS Cloud version and can’t seem to find a way to allocate a customer payment to multiple invoice without selecting individual identity one at a time.Is there a way to select multiple invoices for one payment please? Since the Customer and Supplier Payment features have been discontinued in the Cloud!I verified that in Lump Sum line, when the identity and invoice number are entered, the button SELECT MULTIPLE INVOICES/PAYMENTS  is enabled.However, it will only open the invoices by supplier or customer, not all invoices.ThanksValmira

Those of you who are actively managing subcon work in IFS; have you figured out a way to control the release of PR’s upon release of a shop order? Our subcon PR’s release the moment a Shop order is created, however the subcon portion on a routing may not come up for a week or two. Is there a way to control the release/unrelease of the subcon on the operation no?  I’m guessing it might have something to do with Outside OP Supply Type, but I am not sure you can stop it by changing it. Thanks.

Is their a certain way I need to be wording the visible conditions when comparing dates? The documentation for Report Designer is absolutely awful with nothing about coding structure in Visible Conditions. This is what I’ve been trying to get working: tns:DUE_DATE >= vldtdate:currentDateTime()Nothing works and Report Designer will just fail to preview a layout so often when trying out conditions.

Hi all,we are currently facing a situation in IFS Cloud where operations (especially in assembly) are defined with labor time only (labor run time), without any machine time.We observe that in such cases, the system sets start time equal to end time, meaning no actual duration is considered for scheduling → Which is standardFrom our understanding, scheduling in IFS is based on the work center/resource occupation, which is driven by machine time.This raises the question:Is it mandatory to maintain machine time (machine factor) for proper scheduling, even if the operation is purely labor-based (e.g., manual assembly)?And in addition, in the context of MSO.Will missing machine time prevent MSO from correctly scheduling and considering capacity, since no resource load is generated?We did a few testing without machine run factor no scheduling.We would appreciate confirmation whether this is standard system behavior or if there are alternative modeling approaches for labor-only operations.Ar
