Hello everyone,We use APP10 / Aurena. In 2025, we defined an absence limit for an absence type. The 2025 ANNLV reduction of 29 hours was intentional as Kallum sold 29 hours annual leave at the end of the year. We manually adjust the absence parameter for everyone that sells annual leave. Therefore the 2025 ANNLV limit is correct with 156 hours. Hower, the reduction of 29 hours should only affect the 2025 limit and not the 2026 limit. I don’t want those 29 unused hours to be carried over. But it’s the case, the hours for 2026 should be 17+26. The absence group configuration does not allow carry-over as the “Carry Forward Absence Type” field is empty.The root cause of the issue is that the -29 hours limit unused is automatically carried over to the 2026 limit… How can we ensure that this negative balance is not carried over to the following year?
Hi all,I have a Lobby element that I am using in two lobby pages. It is based on a datasource that uses two parameters Category_ID and Group_ID. My datasource query is using the NVL statement, means when one of the parameters is empty it returns everything. To this regards it is working well. However, when I want to use the same methodolgy as a navigation link I get an error. My navigation link contains:(startswith(tolower(Cf_Group_Id_Eo),$GroupID$)) and (startswith(tolower(Cf_Category_Id_Eo),$OBJECT_CLASS$))When both parameters $GroupID$ and $OBJECT_CLASS$ are given everything works fine. But when only one parameter is given (e.g. $GroupID$) than the second statement of my navigation link gets rendered as:contains(,'')) So this is obviously throwing an error. Any suggestions on how to fix that? I would like to avoid to create two different widgets since I want to reuse the same widget on both lobby pages. Looking forward to all of your responses
IFSAPP 8 - Supplier Verification and CIS tax report submissionWe have suddenly started to get the failure1:javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received close_notify during handshakeon the application messages that are connecting to the HMRC Transaction-engine.tax.serviceLast successful message on 9th May 10:01 - first failure at 13:31 the same day.Last year we implemented an additional Java parameter (-DUseSunHttpHandler=True) that forced a change to TLS 1.2 after HMRC withdrew support for TLS 1.0, and system has been working ever since. Anyone else having this issue? Any clues? :)
When creating a Customer Location I have the option to assign a Validity period against the location with a start date and end date:There doesn’t appear to be any enforcement of this parameter when I am creating a Service Request/Task at the customer location if the end date has been passed. Is this by design or is this possible a bug? The idea would be that the customer Location shouldn’t be shown on the LoV after the end date has passed.Thanks
Issue:We have recently identified an issue where the Demand Forecast window remains on the loading screen and cannot be accessed. Previously, a version mismatch between the IFS Application and the Demand Plan server was identified as the cause of this issue. However, the window is now hanging even though the versions are compatible, and all prerequisites have been completed.Environment:The issue can occur if any delivery is performed in a 24R2 environment, as it will automatically apply the latest available framework update. Also, the issue only can be observed in IFS Cloud 24R2 environments which are in framework SU15.Cause:This has been identified as a bug in the core application due to an incorrect artifact was shipped with the 24R2 SU15 release.Resolution:Issue is fixed with IFS Cloud 24R2 SU16.As the fix is related to the framework, you will not be required to apply the full application SU. A framework SU upgrade alone will be sufficient to deliver the fix to your environments. Yo
I am encountering an issue while attempting to send an outbound transaction from IFS to an external system (Maximo). The process fails with the following error:ExecutionException from Sender threadCaused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$TemporaryFailureException: Exception while sending dataCaused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host terminated the handshakeCaused by: java.io.EOFException: SSL peer shut down incorrectlyThis error occurs during the outbound integration from IFS to Maximo, indicating that the SSL handshake between the systems is not being successfully established.
Hi, I want to hide the Corrective and Preventive Actions section only for some users. I could not find any permission set that can be used to hide this.
The customer experience that after generating a SAF-T file (ver.1.30), there are five supplier-IDs used in GL (Transactions) which are not included in the MasterFiles Suppliers.What we have identified so far, is that one of the invoices has arrived in period 12 (previous year), the invoice is finally posted in the following periode 1, and then has a credit invoice matched in period 2.Anyone with similar experiences?
Hi all,I’m working with a Work Order that includes two Work Tasks: one handled by an external resource and one by an internal technician. These tasks are linked by a dependency and must be executed together.The external Work Task is assigned via the B2B Portal by the subcontractor, and the internal dispatcher must validate/confirm the proposed date before planning the internal task.The issue is that, in the B2B Portal, the dependency is not shown—even though the dependency is correctly defined and visible in IFS Cloud. I can see the “Dependency” section in the B2B Work Task screen, but no data is displayed.Has anyone experienced this? Is there a configuration or limitation in the B2B Portal that prevents dependencies from being displayed?IFS Cloud Dependencies
Hi all,In a workflow javascript I am using “new date()” to find the current date and time:var NowDK_ = new Date();execution.setVariable("NowDK_ ", NowDK_ );If returns something like "2026-03-25T09:27:14.560+0000"That is 1 hour behind the database server (sysdate) and application server.How do I get the the “right” date(like sysdate) inside a workflow?
Hi All, I tried to use an IFS API call which returns a struct but the return structure is not added to the debug values list. Is this not supported for workflows or is there any other way to call an IFS API call with a struct?My example API callWorkTaskHandling.GetPartSerialInfo(PartNo) Debug value list.Notice that previous steps which return string are added in the debug values but not the struct GetPartSerialInfo struct response format
Looking for some help with the Data designer.Are you able to put a join in on the Definition Screen. If so how.Or how can we use the data source from a quick report
We cannot find any reason why making a manual voucher interim (reverse) is only available after approval. Why is the button not available before approval? The approver needs to know, we think? In the current flow the approver has to trust/assume another user will make the voucher interim (reverse). What do we miss?
Hello,I am trying to work out why I have 1 user who is able to authorise multiple invoices, and another who cannot.The 2 users have the same set up in the Invoice Posting Authorisers screen:However, in the Posting Proposals screen one user has the ‘Authorise/Acknowledge..’ option enabled when selecting multiple lines and the other does not.As far as I can tell, the pre-requisites from the help topic are both met.So I can’t see why there is a difference between the 2 users.Can anyone suggest if there are any other settings I might have missed? We are on Apps 10, UPD8. Many thanksSteph.
When an absence function is configured to split absences at the end of the month, the system correctly reflects the split in the Absence Periods window. However, the calculation based on the reporting date in the Absence Limit Day window appears to be incorrect.Example Scenario:For November 2025, an absence is entered from 28.11.2025 to 01.12.2025.Since 29th and 30th November fall on weekends, the expected absence duration should be:1 day for November 1 day for DecemberAlthough the system correctly splits the absence period across the two months, the Absence Limit Day calculation does not reflect this split accurately.Environment Details:Reference Case: CS0466379 Test Environment: 25R1 TEST LKPSteps to Reproduce:Configure an absence type with a function to split absences at month-end. Enter an absence that spans across the end of a month. Observe the results in both the Absence Periods and Absence Limit Day windows.Observation: According to the defined absence functions, the logic appl

We’re using Shipments in IFS to be able to consolidate lines from different customer orders that are shipping to the same customer location, that could all ship together to save our customers some freight costs. We’ve been trying to get IFS to send the customer order number, listed on the Shipment page on the Shipment Lines tab as “Source Ref 1” and to date, we have had no success. Has anyone had any success with getting fields mapped from the Shipment page over into PaceJet?
We build sub-components that we build in advance for a customer, sell it to them and then hold in our inventory until needed for production. Is there a simpler way to get this in our inventory as Customer-Owned other than sell and “deliver” on a Customer Order and the “buy” back on a PO?
Could someone advise what I should expect the ‘Summary’ Column to show here on Time Registration and/or if there’s some task we need to be running in order for it to be populated?ThanksLinda

Any knows fixes?Thank you,Kalindu
Hi,window “Standard Operation”, Register “Standard Operation Work Guidelines” field “Guideline Text”.In this field it is not possible to open the Detail text as for example in the “Routing Operation Work Guidelines”.Example:If I need to do a change it is really hard to find the correct postion or if I need a paragraph it is not possible to create it. For example on window “Routing Operation Work Guidelines” it is much easier to do that.Is there a setup for that to have the same solution as in window “Routing Operation Work Guidelines”?BRMilanko
Hi Community,is there any way, to use the Report Time functionality in Cases / Case Tasks to directly invoice the needed hours via a Customer Order?Workflow would be:TechSupport has customer contact TechSupport works on Case Task so solve issue Needed Time is reported on the Task CO is created via Handover Ref and has the Reported Time directly in the Sales LinesAFAIK the Reported Times can only be used to track against a Customer Project.Can this be used in any other way?Thanks,Chris PS: Did not know, which sub-forum would be the correct one. As we use Cases mainly in Service I selected this one.
