Changing the supplier Delivery address when a purchase order change order exists

In simple terms, we create a Purchasre Order Change Order (POCO) when we need to make a change to a particular Purchase Order that we are working with. The standard behaviour, even in apps 10 is that when a POCO exists, the user is always asked to make changes via change orders. If you try to make a change on the PO, then the system will give an error, notifying you that no changes are allowed when a POCO is connected, which is a valid error. A customer who is in apps 8, is concerened about this error and they are of the view that this error should not pop-up and the user should be allowed to change the Delivery address under the misc info tab in the supplier window, even if a POCO exists. This is not possible with the standard functionality. However, I found the bug 120640 which addresses this error which comes up when we try to change the delivery address on the PO when a POCO exists. But, it doesn’t seem to make any sense of resolving the issue. It says, this error occurs only when

How can I set appropriate permissions related to entering/processing a CAPA?

I am trying to set up a couple of permission sets related to the entering and processing a corrective action.  We’ll have one group that will only initiate the capa and enter the Investigation Data. I need to be able to restrict them from completing the subsequent steps (enter action data, verification data etc..). This looks pretty clear in the permission set, under frmNcrCapaActionsMain\Actions, there are 4 distinct options one for each step. I only have the “Enter Investigation Data” one checked  for this permission set. However when testing, a user with this permission set has all of steps available.If I go deeper and look at the Presentation Objects by Component the options for “Enter Action Data” etc. are not granted but the Database Objects for each of the steps are the same (NCR_CORRECTIVE_ACTION_LINE, NCR_CORRECTIVE_ACTION_LINE_API) so they are granted.Is there any way to limit the access to specific steps? It seems as this should be possible so hopefully I’m just missing it.

FSM and import from excel using import maps

I need to import data into the the tables PLACE, PLACE_ADDRESS and ADDRESS from a single table in an excel file containing 1429 rows. I have set up an Import map for the task, and defined the appropriate fields in the map, aligning the relevant columns from the excel file and the columns for PLACE and ADDRESS, this works pretty well. Final step in the same map is to connect the PLACE and ADDRESS rows to the PLACE_ADDRESS table, definingPLACE_ADDRESS.PLACE_ID → Parent table/column PLACE.PLACE_ID PLACE_ADDRESS.ADDRESS_ID→ Parent table/column ADDRESS.PLACE_IDI have tried many different setups, but without success. Furthermore the import always fail with a message saying ‘Import results are incomplete as a timeout was encountered during import. details logged…..’ Log file is empty.Another “Alert” is displyed in the lower right corner of the screen: ‘Performing Import Batch 1 Succes count 0 Error Count 15000.’The error message does always NOT result in empty tables after import, but the pla

Project Deliverable Alternative Parts

I have been approached by an existing customer, who has a specific problem that they need to address and are struggling to find a direct solution. They currently use Project Delivery to delivery different configured items to their customers. However the delivered product can comprise various combinations of parts and revisions within the product structure along with different alternatives for the structure. They have attempted to use Phase in Date (Using a Custom RMB) to align the dates for the different alternatives (which represent the different Engineering Part Revisions, however the revision increment upwards i.e. 1 to 2 to 3, but in many instances there revisions are 2 way alternatives) for the structures, however the issue that they experience is how to determine which Inventory part meets the requirement to 'build' the required product as they cannot determine the 'Revision' of the Inventory part needed to build the product at time of reserving or issuing to the shop-order.

Release schedule and content of Updates for IFS10?

We are currently in an upgrade project to IFS10 and considering which updates to install and when. Please let me know, where can I find the release schedule from IFS R&D? Regarding UPD7, is the planned content published somewhere? For previous updates I have found “What’s new” presentations by Bob Corrigan by Open IFS, but as a decision basis we would need information about the planned content of a coming update as well.

Additional resource function in FSM tasks dispatch

When having an additional resource for a task (task screen > resource tab) how does that alerts the technician he has been added as an additional resource not a main responsible ? Since as it seems currently the task gets displayed to their devices in the to do list and not able to distinguish among main jobs and additional jobs? Also is there a way we could freeze the job for the additional resource until authorized to work on it?.

Aurena / authorization

End-Customer needs secure access for +300 end-users. They are using hired equipment by OEMs where they can't install VPNs nor register them into Azures or similar Active directory structures. Simpe user name/password to access into Aurena is not enough. They should use also second authorization through tokens or similar technology which ensure personal access into Production environment of IFS Apps. Equipments are running on different OS like Android and iOS. Therefore they should use Aurena client for limited functions like Time reporting, Absence registration and Travel Requests/Expenses. I would get some "white papers" how to setup two stage authorization. The aim is to prevent second installation for "reporting" environment with replication into PRODuction env.

Also, I think the attachment is from version 9 - it refers to Simple LDAP which is not supported in v10. Is there a version of this document updated for v10?

APB behavior when Multiple Shop Orders connected with a Project

If a Project is connected to multiple Shop Orders and one of the shop orders is connected to a Department (from an operation/work center), it is populating all the Shop Orders when loading Advanced Planning Board with the Department. This seems to be the current application behavior. Does it go in line with the real-world production scheduling?
