Today we use a lot of document groups to grant access to documents with the system defined Document Class “INVOICE” . The maintenance of these groups are quite heavy since there we have many new employees each month, and others that change positions.Just wanted to get some new input from others in the community on how you solve this challenge in a multi company environment.. (Soon upgraded to 25R2 SU6) ManSuppIvoice is used to grant access to users that should post/approve the invoice. We have tried to add JtTask - Get Document Access but it only seems control document access to contractors used on work tasksWe are considering to test customized Get_Document_Access methods for JtTask, IncomingInvoice or JtTaskCostLines to see if that will be easier to maintain for usWith an Object Connection Transformation it’s easy to display the invoice for the relevant cost line on a Work Task
For outgoing SEND_INVOICE_INET_TRANS and SEND_DISPATCH_ADVICE_INET_TRANS, after updating receiving the below messageValidated the file sender had a matching configuration in another environment Tried the default OUT1 queue, along with a new queue dedicated to these messagesExecutionException from Sender thread Caused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$TemporaryFailureException: Connection pool unavailable for File sender [EDI_SENDER] Caused by: ifs.fnd.base.SystemException: Connection pool exhausted for key [S|EDI_SENDER|7975c580] (maxPerKey=4). Wait timed out.Recently updated to 25R2SU7, this did not present itself on the first transactions after we updated.

IFS MWO Service 10 app working with IFS 10.29We recently upgraded from 10.11 to 10.29.Complete in MWO does not open the assistant, but triggers this error: Input string was not in a correct format. This happens for all users and all Work Tasks.There are no failed transactions and the bug report does not show any errors. Does anyone know what could trigger this?
We are currently using a rather questionable approach of using charges to handle advance payments to supplier. However I see why payment schedule in Purchase Order might be not a solution for us in Apps 9.I have set up IP18, and created a payment schedule for a purchase order.In manual supplier invoice I have matched the payment schedule id of the payment schedule for purchase order.However the preposting of the purchase order line is not fetched in the posting line of the posting proposal. Note that we use pre posting on the line and not on the purchase order header. Could you help me troubleshoot?
Hello, Using Apps for Page Designer, I configured a field as Required to ensure users do not overlook it when entering time through the MWO Service App. However, this change does not appear to be reflected in the MWO Service App, as users are still able to save their entries without completing the field.Could you please advise if I am missing any additional configuration or step required for this change to take effect in the MWO Service App?IFS version 25R2Thank you,Wafaa
Is there a way to get information from tag <AddtlNtryInf> in the external payment transactions? This tag often contains additional information that can be useful to the users.The external payment transactions contain attributes Bank Transaction Info 1, Bank Transaction Info 2 and Bank Transaction Info 3 but these are (in my test cases) left empy.
In the count per count report all the Parts are visible even though its qty on stock is 0.we understand that they are part of all warehouse stock and must be visible but in practice you count only what you have on stock ( if something doesn't exist on stock, it is normal its qty equal 0) therefore it is time consuming comfirming manually qty 0 for all missing parts.Would it be possible to have 0 automatically filled in for all positions with qty on stock 0?of course the field shoud remain editible for any differences.
When receiving material from transit, from a transport task, is there a way to unattach the Handling Unit during the receipt process?When we perform this process, we are transferring material from one warehouse to another, and one of the warehouses does not use Handling Units. Our requirement is to receive the material and automatically remove the Handling Unit association during the receipt process. Is this possible?

Good DayI have a client that has Request Tasks spanning a week to 3 weeks on average and while testing the “Transfer to Mobile” feature of Dispatch Console I notice: 1) the multi-visits are only created after pressing the “Transfer to Mobile” button and 2) only the first visit is sent to the technician’s mobile device. Is there a way to transfer all the multi-visits to the technician from the initial command or will the dispatcher have to enter each visit to transfer them?
Hello All!Does anyone use Project transfer Borrow-Payback functionality?We have a requirement for a lending project to temporarily transfer material to a borrowing project.The lending project has a special discount and gets material at a low price and when the borrowing project procures replacement material to send back to the lending project, the price will be higher.We would expect the variance between the original material cost vs. the replacement material cost to remain on the borrowing project and that the lending project gets material transferred back at the original cost.I see that there is a screen that shows Borrow Cost, Payback Cost and a Cost difference, but I don’t know how it works or how to test it out.Does anyone know how to do such a transaction and know whether the cost difference would somehow remain on the borrowing project in a situation like this?Thank you!Doug Slater
Hi all,I’m trying to call an external REST API from IFS (IFS Cloud 25R1) using Plsql_Rest_Sender_API.Call_Rest_EndPoint_Json. The same endpoint works fine with GET (using the same parameters), but the PATCH call consistently fails with the following error:ExecutionException from Sender thread Caused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$TemporaryFailureException: Exception while sending data Caused by: ifs.fnd.base.SystemException: Patch error: 405 (Method Not Allowed)The exact same PATCH request works from Postman (same URL, headers, and payload), so the receiver endpoint does support PATCH.url_params_ := Plsqlap_Document_API.New_Document('URL_PARAMETERS');Plsqlap_Document_API.Add_Attribute(url_params_, 'reference', part_no_);Plsql_Rest_Sender_API.Call_Rest_EndPoint_Json( rest_service_ => 'XXX_UPDATE_SHEET_PART', json_ => json_, url_params_ => url_params_, http_method_ => 'PATCH', http_req_headers_ => http_req_headers_
Is it possible to estimate when improvements to conditional formatting will be available in the IFS Cloud?The options for conditional formatting in the IFS Cloud are significantly more limited compared to APPS10.The number of available colors is considerably smaller. Only the background, not the text itself, can be formatted. Text styles (bold, italic) cannot be adjusted. The available operators are also significantly restricted. We particularly miss the ability to search for parts of labels (e.g., "~pipe" for "contains pipe"). We are currently unable to replicate all the formatting options used in APPS10.Conditional formatting is a valuable tool for ensuring readability and a quick overview of tables. We hope that the familiar functionality will soon be available in the IFS Cloud as well. Best regardsJakob
Hi,We are migrating from version 9 to Cloud (22.1.5) and I am having trouble with an import of Currency rate. In version 9 we generate rate files into a directory on the server and IFS task go take this file and import currency rate.In Cloud version, I cannot see my directory on my server. Do you have any idea? Thanks, Gianni
Hi All,.Do we have any inbuilt report in IFS which can tell what is the waiting tine between two operations.?(historic) What I mean is it will provide detail of SO no Current operation Status ( When started) and Closed? and what is the next operation starting time so that we can see what is the waiting time between two operations? or any useful report which can tell the which operations has delayed or which job has currently delayed? etc
Background:When a return is performed from the Execute Work Task using the New Return functionality, the returned item information is not displayed under the RETURNS tab of the corresponding Work Task. Current Situation:This is not considered a defect in the application as per the current design. According to the existing functionality, return information is not displayed under the RETURNS tab of the respective Work Task; however, the return information is displayed under the COSTS and SALES tab of the corresponding Work Task. Customer Impact:When customers return an item, especially a high-value item, they currently have no option to view the returned item information under the corresponding Work Task. The absence of this information could introduce operational risks and lead to potential business issues. Future Enhancement:After discussions with R&D, we can confirm that there are currently no plans to change the existing behaviour. However, considering the impact on customers, w
I have a question about *_PASSWORD = CREATE_RANDOM_PASSWORD in the define.tem file for IFS Cloud.Could you let me know the following?Is the password generated by CREATE_RANDOM_PASSWORD stored anywhere?If yes, where can I find it?Is it possible to view the generated password in plain text after deployment?If not, what is the supported way to reset it?Is there any official documentation that explains this behavior?Also, the public documentation for define.tem looks a bit different from the actual define.tem file in our environment.For example, our file includes variables like CAMUNDA_APPOWNER, IAM_APPOWNER, DBADMPROXY_OWNER, and RAISE_NEW_CUSTOM_OBJ_INVALIDS.If there is an updated official reference for define.tem that includes these variables, could you please share it?Reference:https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/26r1/070_remote_deploy/010_installing_fresh_system/200_installing_ifs_cloud/050_deploy_db/090_db_deploy_config/?h=define.tem#configuration_without_parameters
I have a purchased raw part and on the supplier for purchase part record. I added a price list for a new price of the part some time in the future. However, when I enter a purchase order line for a wanted delivery date beyond the effective date of the new price, the system still displays the supplier for purchase part price from the general tab. Is that how it is supposed to work?Thanks!
Dear All,Regarding the transition from APPS9 to Cloud, I understand that the "Work Order Operations List" screen in APPS9 has been replaced by the "Work Tasks" screen in Cloud.We need to ensure that the same functionality available on the APPS9 "Work Order Operations List" screen is also available on the Cloud "Work Tasks" screen.Specifically, the following two checkboxes found on the APPS9 "Work Order Operations List" screen are missing from the Cloud "Work Tasks" screen:・Show Only Clocked-In Operations・Show Only Allocations I am seeking information regarding the following three points:Is it possible to achieve the same results as using those 2 checkboxes by using alternative search criteria or filtering settings on the Cloud "Work Tasks" screen? If this is possible, please explain the search criteria or settings required to achieve the same results. Is my understanding correct that the APPS9 "Work Order Operations List" screen has been replaced by the "Work Tasks" screen in Cloud, or
I am updating a cycle schedule located here: Human Capital Management → HCM Services → Time Management → Schedules and Rules → Work Schedules → Working Hours Schedules → Cycle SchedulesI updated the Day Type for several days and when I saved, I got the following warnings. The time registration for the employees using this cycle schedule do not reflect the changes I’ve made so I assume I will need to recalculate, though I cannot find a way to recalculate these.How do I do this?
Hello,I am trying to add a watermark using Report Designer. I followed the documentation; however, I was unable to find the parameter "Base path for Report Designer graphics on the application server" under the System Parameters.Could you please advise whether this parameter is available in IFS Cloud 25R2, or if it has been renamed, relocated, or replaced by a different configuration setting? Thank you,Wafaa Gerrayi

There is a field MSO Scheduling Information available in Shop Order Operations window? Does this field capture values in IFS 24R2 version also. I was unable to see any data getting fetched.While I could see that the field was capturing data in version of IFS 25R2.Also, in IFS 24R2 version - Finite Scheduling Basic Data screen, I could not see the field “Generate Scheduling Information”. From which version is this field made available?
Inventory Turnover Rate job runs into a timeout error. Go to Warehouse Management > Financial Control -> Analysis > Inventory Turnover Rate Enter parametersClick “Next” Timeout Error appears Currently this is considered as a limitation in the application, and the data volume is considered as a main root cause for the issue.Hoping to get a permanent fix for this issue.
I have a buildable manufacturing structure/routing and a buildable disassembly structure/routing for one part number, MW-M-103.The manufacturing structure uses these component parts:The disassembly structure produces these disassembly component parts (each inventory part type is Disassembly Component):I have calculated the standard manufacturing costs for MW-M-103 in Cost Set 2 and copied to Cost Set 1 using the standard template M-110.Each Disassembly Component has cost template D-110, with Use Distribution Cost 'on', attached in all Cost Sets.When I performed the Disassembly Cost Calculation for MW-M-103 in Cost Set 2, no material costs from bucket 110 were distributed to the components, only operation costs. Should these material costs have been distributed to the Disassembly Components?From the documentation:The disassembly cost calculation is performed by Disassembly Cost Calculation. Before calculation of disassembly cost it is important that the cost for the disassembled product
