Hello Guys Customer currently faces a problem that after MRP run, new supplier schedule with additional Lines will be created and connected to the PO but no further Line No / Release No will be created on the Purchase Order. Did someone face the same problem or know what could be the solution?Could it be because of the Cumulative Quantity?
Date only changes within a purchase order is triggering re-authorisation. We have made changes to the PO authorisation rules and tested but no matter which boxes are ticked and options selected in the PO authorisation rules we need to re-authorise.Does anyone know how to fix this?
We have a long running SQL quick report in IFS Cloud, and users receive the message:Operations did not complete in the expected time (300 seconds). The same quick report returns data in Apps 10, with no warning.I’ve checked system parameters but can’t see any setting in there.Is there a way to extend the 300 seconds in Cloud?Thanks
Hi,I would like to share a piece of information on a term which you may have heard of more than once in the world of business software. It is none other than "license".In software industry, a software license can be defined as an agreement that gives an individual, a company or an organization permission to use a software application. The same applies to IFS. A license is required in order to use IFS Applications.When you are dealing with customers, it is highly probable that you have encountered several types of licensing. Let me give a brief idea on types of licensing in IFS applications.There there are 4 types of licenses.1. Full User2. Limited Task User (LTU)3. Additional Task User (ATU)4. Custom Task User (CTU)Let’s understand what those are a little bit more. 1.Full User LicenseThis is the most common license consumed by majority of usersAn F1 user will consume one full user license if :The user is a registered F1 user and is active.The F1 user is granted access to at least one p
Hi All,I noticed when running tests that there is a discrepancy in IFS Cloud when it comes to creating a new Document from a Document File Template.According to IFS Cloud Documentation, anyone who wants to use a template requires view access to the Document Revision acting as the Template.This holds true for the page New Document from Template, where I can only see the templates that I have access to. However, it is not true when I try to initiate the same action via Attachments - New Document from Template on any business object, like a Document Folder or Work Task.In these cases, I have the full range of templates visible and can move on to naming the Document. However, when I try to finalize, I finally get the error message.This is very confusing and will likely impact how well the module is received by new users attempting this.Is there anything that can be done so that creating from a template through attachments hides unavailable templates just like the New Document from Template
Appreciate if you could share your experience related to seamless/built-in integration of the Applicant Tracking Systems with IFS. Any recommendations or watch-outs?

Hello all, When a Shop Floor Employee logs in, the user is automatically identified and logged in as that employee. Is there an option to log in as the employee’s default team instead of the individual employee in the Shop Floor Workbench? Kind regards, Willem
We have a scenario where employees will work on two operations which are on the same Shop Order, at the same time. We would like the time split either in half or split based on operations run time Units/Hr of each operation.It does not matter if they Select both Operations, then Start Prod and when completed, Select both Operations, then Stop Production/Approve, it still reports the same amount of time on both Operations, doubling the time. Example: Employee works 2 hours to do both operations, simultaneously. The results are each operations shows 2 hours of labor time for both operations, but it should be 1 hour labor time for each.Is there somehow that we can set up the Operation, Work Center, etc to make this happen?We are on 24R1TYIA,Joy
Hello everyone,I am currently working on a project to develop custom connectors for our organization to analyze and retrieve data from IFS. The functionality is comparable to solutions like Addovation, particularly in enabling the execution of Quick Reports. So far, the connectors have been performing reliably and meeting all intended requirements.As part of this initiative, I have developed two separate connectors: A Power BI connector that allows users to pull data directly from IFS and build dashboards within Power BI An Excel add-in connector that enables users to retrieve and work with the IFS data in Excel At this stage, I am looking to better understand the broader implications of maintaining custom connectors at an organizational level. Specifically, I am interested in insights related to API usage, rate limits, performance considerations, governance, security, and long-term maintenance.The solution has been built entirely from scratch, so there are currently no licensing or
Hi, in earlier releases I was able to send an XML message to ‘int/soapgateway’. Via routing rules I could route this XML message to a PL/SQL function. Now I tried it again in 25R1 release and I always receive an errorCannot Create JSON Object: A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at 1 [character 2 line 1] Can it be that XML messages are no longer supported by soapgateway?
Hi everyone,I am having a problem with receiving project inventory.Here is the situation:There are 3 different projects that all need the same part at the same time. Because of this, PMRP creates: 3 purchase requisitions 3 purchase order lines 3 separate receipts for the same item When the parts are received, they first go to an arrival/inspection location.After inspection, the warehouse team needs to scan the items and move them to the final stock location (the default location). The customer wants to use scanners to reduce errors.The problem is that because there are 3 separate receipts, the warehouse team has to do the putaway process 3 times for the same item.I suggested using standard inventory: Move the items to the final stock location first Then transfer the inventory to the projects However, the customer wants to track the PO and inventory from the purchase requisition stage from the project, so they do not want to use this approach.We also tried the following: From Clou

When in a Consolidation Master Company, I need to map the Inter-Company and Currency code parts of the Reporting Entities to the additional code parts K (Counter part One) & M (Curr Code).But when I try I get the error shown below: I get the same error on the Curr Code mapping. IFS Help from 24R1 reads as follows:Code Part Mapping gives total flexibility in defining which accounting dimensions (code parts) that should be included in the reporting from a reporting company to a master company, as well as against which master company dimension it should be mapped. All 9 analytical dimensions in a reporting company can be mapped against any of the 19 analytical dimensions available in a master company: Note that the consolidation logic requires that the dimension representing counterpart for intercompany balances in the reporting company should be mapped against the fixed dimension Counterpart 1 in the master company. Also note that the consolidation logic requires that the dimension
Hello, Currently, IFS provides pre-built reports that are hosted in a data lake.My question is whether it is possible to create a dashboard that retrieves and combines data from two different semantic models—for example, integrating Sales and Inventory data into a single report or dashboard.Do we have any existing solution, standard approach, or built-in capability that supports this type of cross-model reporting?

Hello,Our customer order line has an associated charge: Line price: 150 Additional charge: 100 When the customer order line is delivered, a new line is created on the Outstanding Sales page. However, this new line does not include the charge in its price. As a result, when creating interim sales voucher, the system takes only the base line price (excluding the charge). How can we ensure that the charge amount is included in the price used for the sales voucher? Thank youKind Regards
Good morning. I would appreciate input/suggestions wrt the following: we have a business requirement wrt the Hazards in the Risk Assessment (Health & Safety module). Requirement is to not just list the Hazards relevant to the Risk Assessment, but to show that all Hazards Types have been considered and then confirm which ones are relevant to the specific Risk Assessment by means of some answer i.e Yes/No. The requirement relates specifically to H & S Risk Assessments done for Projects.Control Measures - Safety Actions in the Risk Assessment come from Safety Action Basic Data which does not allow for Questions and Answers as is the case for Safety Questions and Answers in Safety Inspection Basic Data.Any suggestions as to how the business requirement can be achieved, if possible?Thank you.Anya

I’m attempting to use the olingo library in java to integrate with IFS. The main task I’m attempting to accomplish at first is to add multiply master parts in one REST request. I’ve managed to navigate the api enough to get it to form a batch request and send it off to IFS however I get a weird error response that makes no sense and leads me nowhere.
