Is it possible to have a sample to-be document for any module? 

Business RequirementsThere is a business requirement to automatically allocate inventory in the order of "date of manufacture".The "date of receipt" is different from the "date of manufacture" to some extent, although the "date of receipt" is supposed to be received in the order of manufacture.We considered specifying "date of manufacture" for "expiration date," but since "date of manufacture" is basically a past date, it would result in inventory that cannot be used for allocation.I would like to know if there is any feasible way to do this.

Hi, I am working in IFS Cloud 25R2. What I want to be able to do is set a resources start and end location for scheduling. I can create a visit address on a person record and it appears but only if the person is not protected.In previous versions of IFS it was possible to have the person as protected but only addresses flagged against the “Home” address type were protected. Is this no longer the case or is there a bug in the system?Has anybody been able to configure a visit address for scheduling whilst maintaining non visibility of a personal home address in the person record? Thanks 

Hi All, I’m trying to make a workflow that changes values on an new shop order. Currently shoporder has defaults of * for Release and Sequence numbers and I want to make those something else, for example, lets say X. I set up the workflow, with call in the projection actions:  and then set the workflow design in the same way as the IFS example:    

Under the Overview Unit Cost tab, the column “Actual Accum Cost” is showing a value of zero for the overhead cost.basic data setup, Part cost appears to be correctly configured. Other shop orders for the same parts are working properly. However, for the specific 2 shop orders  the value is showing as zero. Can someone suggest a possible reason and solution?

Hi, Looking for recommendations if any customers are using Azure Databricks to analyze data from IFS. How are you connecting to IFS and getting data from IFS?

Hello,In the PO line, why does Promised delivery date gets updated automatically when planned receipt date is changed and vise versa.Regards,Kruthika

24.2.6.When creating a new record in a page such as Corrective and Preventive Action, the fields CAPA Description, Company, and Action Type are mandatory; these must be completed to save the record. The Description field is colored to stand out as mandatory, and the other fields are noted with an asterisk to aid the user.To release the CAPA, though, values must be provided for the Responsible Person and Target Date. So, these are not mandatory to create the record, but they are mandatory to promote the status.Using the Page Designer, is it possible to have the background of these fields colored to indicate they are "eventually" mandatory? 

Hi Team, How the workflow engine tries to invoke a workflow when we have more than one workflow for same trigger pointEx:based on the Purchase Order Release call( projection call)1)Workflow-1 : creating a workflow to add some charges2)Workflow-2 : workflow to modify some data(any column in the Purchase Order) I am sure we can include both the tasks within the same workflow what if we have two workflows designed for the said actions to perform how would the workflow execustion happens? Regards,Rakesh

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.

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) ?

Hi,I am working on the Build Place project. I downloaded the certificate from the Dev environment and used it in Report Designer, but I got the below error. I already added certificate to certificate folder under report designer.  

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 screen

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/workar

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.
