Has anyone successfully managed to retrieve Business Report data from IFS to an external application - through API/Projection (or using Boomi).Generate a BR report and then use that result as something that need to be transferred to an external application.Our scenario is that we need to create balance sheet/P&L and then transfer the result to a Consolidation system for the parent company. These reports are created in BR.I can find the created BR report in Excel_Report_Archive, as an Excel file but I have not managed to access the data. There doesn’t seem to be any generated API’s for Business reports either, for Quick Reports there are API’s automatically created that can be used to extract the data from IFS. Or maybe this has to be solved in Excel, through the generated Excel Sheet - to manually trigger a transfer with some sort of script?

We’ve had this issue for years now, with no solution. BA Report displays dates in correction Australian format when run via BA Excel Add-In. However, when report is schedule or run from IFS application  any date references on the report revert to US Format. E.g. if there is a header in the report referencing the date the report is run or the date entered in a parameter it will show 9th June 2023 as 6/9/23 instead of Australian format of 9/6/23. Just wondering if anyone has resolved this?

Dear all.IFS has introduced the IFS Ai feature where it is possible to extract invoice header level information using invoice image file to load invoices automatically.I have extracted the desciption from the release notes of 25R1“To facilitate the supplier invoice data capture automation, the Azure Invoice Model is integrated with IFS Cloud to automatically extract relevant data from supplier invoices uploaded to the system. It supports various file formats, including JPG, JPEG, PNG, and PDF.​Upon upload, the model captures key invoice details and facilitates the creation of corresponding Supplier Invoices within the application.​The extracted data includes the following fields:​Header Level – Supplier, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Due Date, Invoice Recipient, PO Reference, Gross Amount, Net Amount and Tax Amount​”. Where can I find a help document which can help me configure this functionality. Need to demonstrate the same to customer.

We see the need to be able to modify operational loggings after serial numbers have been renamed. This happens quite a lot in our business that incorrect serial numbers get runs, and then are rebuilt before we have the possibility to correct the run. Can you please open up for this possibility? Pages: Correct Operationa Loggings, Report Operational Loggings

Hi, can I draw dependencies between activities using the mouse cursor in the IFS Cloud Project Gantt chart?Thanks, Vít

I have provided access to view documents of particular document class in IFS. Still users are able to attach the document in IFS for that document class.

In some cases, there would be a need to close (lost) sales quotations even if the products are not completely configurated. We can have quotations with tens of products, all with complex configurations which is severely time consuming. Therefore, sales may cancel the sales quotation instead of closing it, to save time and keeping the admin work less. This will of course affect the win/loss analysis negatively, not having the full picture. Is there any workaround in having the possibility to close sales quotations with unconfiguren products?

Hi All, Do we have a way to create two work assignments for below requirement.There should  be two or many assignments where one assignment is primary (task leader) and others are secondary.  Only reporting should be done by the primary assignment. Others are supportive and do not report time to the work. It is like booking of few other resources to support main assignee.Crew functionality does not matching with this since these grouping are dynamic and short term. In IFS, if you create assignments all has to complete the work to automatically transfer the work task status to “Work Done”.Is there a way to work with a primary assignment and a dummy assignments? TIA.

Hi,I've created a new service contract.It seems that I cannot set Plan Start Date (Invoicing) later than Valid From on the Service Contract Header. Why is this.For example the Contract Valid From date is 2026-04-01, but we have agreed with the customer that we will start invoicing from 2026-05-01.IFS doesn´t allow us to use service contract this way, why is this? How is it suppose to work? Is this somthing we can change?  

 Hello,I need help. The price of my supplier item link is no longer appearing in my distribution order, and I want this price to be transferred to the purchase order and sales order, as in the intercompany flow. Supplier for purchase part  

Hi,How do you handle situations where you need to request a deposit before executing a work order?I’m looking for a functionality similar to the advance invoice for customer orders, where the customer pays an amount in advance, and IFS takes that amount into account for the final invoice.I want the same functionality for my work orders. Before I start investigating, I need a deposit from the customer. Of course, this deposit should be deducted from the final invoice.IFS doesn’t seem to have such a function. Possible workarounds are:Using an instant invoice, but you need to remember to do this manually, and it's not linked to the specific work order. Adding a sales line on the work task and crediting it afterward.Both methods require manual intervention, which can be forgotten sometimes. Does anyone have a better idea?

Hi All,Can someone please explain the standard IFS solution to impair fixed assets? In that process, will I be able to identify impairment transactions separately from other value reductions of the FA?

In IFSAPPS10, is there a way of updating project estimates by creating a project forecast from IFS itself. 

We are currently on apps 10 upd 18 Aurena and in the middle of a cloud upgrade. We’ve noticed in apps 10 that the Inventory Part Usage Tracing page doesn’t load when you click it from the navigator. It’s like there’s no URL under the page.I can RMB on Inventory Transaction History and see “Open link in new tab”When I RMB on Inventory Part Usage Tracing in the navigator it shows me the menu that looks like I’m not clicked on a link. Does anyone else have this issue?​​​​ Eventually after clicking it (~10 mins of waiting) it will load but there is no indication on the screen that it’s loading.

Under our previous IFS APPS 8 system we maintained a separate Oracle license and Support agreement for our on-premise Oracle servers, and we were thus eligible to download items from Oracle Technical Network (OTN) such as Oracle database client software for use with e.g. PL/SQL Developer for direct database access. For IFS Cloud we have limited but similar database access via the IFS VPN for working with our cloud application and on our build place dev environments. However, for IFS Cloud we no longer have a direct support agreement with Oracle for IFS. Will we be able to download future versions and updates to the Oracle client software from IFS, as developer support items? I have searched the community and the Developer tools areas without finding any reference to this.

Hi, Does anyone possible have an idea on why one could receive the following errors when trying to validate the SAF-T Norway file?Line: 8734, position: 7 - The element 'TaxRegistration' in namespace 'urn:StandardAuditFile-Taxation-Financial:NO' has invalid child element 'TaxAuthority' in namespace 'urn:StandardAuditFile-Taxation-Financial:NO'.

There is a requirement for an Intercompany (IC) set up when the business unit operates in IFS Applications 8 and the manufacturing plant operates in IFS Cloud. Apps 8 raises an external Customer Order and an Intercompany Purchase Order; Cloud creates the internal trade Customer Order, manufactures, ships, and invoices. Anyone who has handled a similar requirement? since this is not possible without an integration customer will go for an integration set up, is using connect will be the best possible choice?What should be focused on when designing the solution in this direction? should we use purch order direct purch order transit rather than int purch dir and int purch transit if the customer and supplier is treated separately in different DBs?, tips and ideas are welcome :) (APP 8 BUs will come to cloud eventually but not now so this is an interim solution until all comes to cloud.)   

Hi!We are experiencing an issue where absence actions are not being generated. For example:An employee reports a 9-day sick leave absence in Time Card. This should generate an absence action. We have not changed any parameters in the Absence Group Function. Absence actions are generated for Company A but not for Company B. I have tried to identify what differentiates the two and tested various scenarios, but without success. If anyone has an idea where I should look, I would greatly appreciate it. This scenario is in a CFG environment in Cloud 24R2. We are not experiencing this issue in IFS9.

 I am trying to configure navigation from Prepare Work Order (Active Separate) screen to History Log screen and pass WO_NO as a filter. When navigating from Prepare Work Order, the History Log should show records only for that specific WO number. I tried using navigation filter like:startswith(tolower(Keys),'wo_no eq ($[WoNo])^')), Keys contains 'wo_no eq ($[WoNo])^'))But it is not returning the expected records. History Log stores WO number inside the KEYS field, so I am trying to filter based on that value.What is the correct navigation filter expression to pass WO_NO from Prepare Work Order to History Log?If anyone has implemented similar navigation filtering for KEYS field, please suggest the correct approach.Keys: WO_NO=2^Also, I need to filter History Log records where:LU Name = ApprovalRouting Since the KEYS field contains multiple key references like:KEY_REF=WO_NO=2^LINE_NO=1^LU_NAME=ActiveSeparate^STEP_NO=10^ I need to understand how to correctly pass WO_NO (and other key refe

I have a supplier that allows us 5% discount if paid in 10 days or 2% if paid within 25 days and net due in 31 days.  I have tried setting up a payment term to calculate that but it isn’t working in my testing, either IFS functionality doesn’t support that or my setup is incorrect?
