We have an audit requirement which requires to report the last login date and time for a user in IFS. In APPS8 we could get this information from the SERVER_LOG_TAB using the log category “IFS Sessions’. However, IFS cloud does not have this category as a server log parameter.There are some details in the IAM_LOGIN_EVENT_DETAIL_TAB but seems like it does not keep the long-term history of sessions.Can you advise how to get this data recorded and retrieved on demand?
Hi All, I just wanna bring some awareness on an IFS Cloud extension I built that brings back the much beloved Sticky Notes functionality in IFS Cloud.Besides creating notes attached to any ‘Form’ record in IFS Cloud, it also offers the possibility to tag (@) other users and notify them by email and Stream notification (bell icon).The extension is free and open source. ACP packages to make this work included in the Chrome Store. Feel free to check it out.Leave your comments on improvements and I’ll consider them for a future release.

We have been using Resource Capacity Calculation on IFS apps 10.It took about 21 minutes to calculate for 2 years horisont.After upgrading to IFS cloud, we have serious problems in executing the job.The executing time is between 2 hours and 21 hours for calculating 6 month horizon. (only 25 %)We have been working with setting up statistic in database on the temporary tables used in the job, but it seems to be very sensitive, so its difficult to hit the right levels. Anyone have solved this?/JE
Currently, payment advice is generated when a supplier order proposal is validated.The PDF is generated and stored in the Report Archive.We would like to add this PDF to Docman so that it can be accessed directly through the Supplier Payment Analysis. However, we have been unable to determine how to achieve this.Any guidance or advice on how this could be implemented would be greatly appreciated. Report Définition : how can we enrich the ConnectedLU to add PaymentPerCurrency for exemple please? Kind regards,
HiI We are currently testing the migration from pain.001.001.03 to pain.001.001.09 in IFS Applications 10 using the standard system-defined transformer: IFS_ISO20022_TO_CORE_09_ISO20022. During testing with Nordea we identified two questions regarding the generated XML.1. Regulatory ReportingIn the generated file we see the following mapping:<RgltryRptg> <DbtCdtRptgInd>DEBT</DbtCdtRptgInd> <Dtls> <Cd>14</Cd> <Inf>Message to Valutaregisteret</Inf> </Dtls></RgltryRptg> After reviewing the transformer, I can see:NATIONAL_BANK_CODE RgltryRptg/Dtls/CdNATURE_OF_BUSINESS RgltryRptg/Dtls/Inf However, I cannot find any mapping that generates: <Tp>PURP</Tp>. Nordea has pointed out that the Type element (Tp) is missing:My questions are:Which IFS field should generate RgltryRptg/Dtls/Tp? Is there a standard setup required in IFS? Is this a known limitation in the standard transformer? Has anyone successfully gen
Hi,We have a use case according to followingCustomer order is released for a high volume of COL, for example 2000 products. The product is ETO but all has the same BOM revision. The COL’s are connected to project for financial and other reasons and qty for each line is 1. This results in 2000 COL and 2000 DOP Headers and the delivery time for the lines are spread over 12-24 month. Challenge/Problem:The Customer Order is released and lines connected to project activities. MS Level 1 cannot be used to create supply for non-DOP parts.The DOP structure must be created for all DOP’s, if not created = no demand for non-DOP parts. Please confirm that this is correct, I might missed something:1. Unreleased CO is a demand and MRP create supply for non-DOP parts (Released for Mtrl Planning enabled)2. Released CO, DOP Header created, this is a demand but MRP doesn’t create supply for non-DOP Parts3. Released CO, DOP Header created and Top DOP Created, this is a demand but MRP doesn’t create supp
Our users report the following: In IFS, when an advance payment is managed via the PO by inserting the advance payment, and the PO is still in the draft / unauthorized status, the advance payment can simply be processed by AP. Why does IFS allow payment against a not authorized PO? Are we doing something wrong? Who can advice?
hiIs there a way to give access to a page to a user/role with some fields restricted? Ex.If i need to disable the assign work button for some roles, is it possible? I know that this page can be made visible/not, can be made read only/update but at field level on a page, can we restrict for some roles?
Hi All, I need to create a lobby element which shows not cerated external customer invoice load IDs per company in last 10 days. I started with a Projection type datasource.Projection: ExternalCustomerInvoiceLoadInformationHandlingFilter: (LoadDate gt #TODAY#-10) and ExtOutInvLoadState ne IfsApp.ExternalCustomerInvoiceLoadInformationHandling.ExtOutInvLoadState'Created' It works upto here.I need to show the no of load ids per company.the group by condition I need to use is: ((Company),aggregate($count as LoadIdCount)) URL would be:.../main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/ExternalCustomerInvoiceLoadInformationHandling.svc/ExtOutInvLoadInfoSet?$apply=filter((LoadDate%20gt%202026-08-31)%20and%20ExtOutInvLoadState%20ne%20IfsApp.ExternalCustomerInvoiceLoadInformationHandling.ExtOutInvLoadState%27Created%27)/groupby((Company),aggregate($count%20as%20LoadIdCount)) URL is giving correct results but the datasource designer gives an error with the aggregate. It seems like the aggregate is not supp
I am looking for certain suppliers only to only run MRP a couple of days a week. How do I set this up?
The standard functionality in IFS Cloud supports inverted currency rates only for EUR, which is configured as inverted by default. For other currencies, the "Inverted Quotation When Reference Currency" field on the Currency Codes page is not editable. However, some customers have business requirements to maintain inverted currency rates for specific currencies. Therefore, clarification is required on the recommended approach and available configuration options to support such scenarios within IFS Cloud.The R&D team has provided a more convenient method for making a Currency Code Inverted by using Company Templates.Steps to FollowOpen the Company Templates page, filter for the STD template, and use the Copy Company Template command to create a new template based on STD. Open the newly created Company Template and select Company Template Component. Select the Accrul component and then open Company Template LU. Select the Currency Code LU and open Company Template Detail. Navigate to
We are working to implement the India GET Functionality. To enable the new functionality we need to create a new Company/Site. We will be migrating from our current India site into the new site. As we work through all transactions, we have an issue regarding our open inter-site Purchase Orders > Customer Orders.Specifically:We have Inter site Purchase Orders (our India site 1300) to one of our internal Supplier: 10 where the connected Customer Order is on Site 10.When we migrate the Purchase Orders (from site 1300 to the new site with India Get: 1301) we are looking for a way/best practice to reconnect them to the existing Customer Orders in Site 10.Product Version: Cloud 24.2.6We have close to 4,000 open Inter-Site PO Lines that will need to be migrated to the new site. And are looking for the best way to update all of them in mass.
The Announcement section on the home page of AssystNet does not show the announcements by default.The workaround is to remove and re-add the announcement section on the home page for the announcements to be visible. And this should be done by each end user individually, which is not feasible. So, this bug should be corrected in successive versions.AssystNet Announcement Visibility IssueAlso, seems the announcements are not visible on the top banned in AssystNet as in AssystWeb. One would guess these would be more useful for the end user business community (AssystNet) than the IT Support people (AssystWeb). So, this feature should be included in AssystNet so that users can see the announcements clearly upfront on the home page rather than going to the ‘Announcement’ section, which hardly anyone does.AssystNet Announcement Visibility Proposal
A. Brief descriptionSome manufacturing processes require additional finished units to be produced for destructive or non-destructive testing. These units are manufactured together with the quantity required by the original demand, but they are not part of that demand and may be destroyed, damaged, or released as usable products depending on the test result.IFS Cloud does not currently provide a clear and traceable way to distinguish the quantity required by the original demand from the additional finished quantity required for testing. This can lead to manual adjustments, incorrect MRP quantities, unclear supply availability, and limited traceability between production planning and quality assessment.B.

Hi,Few weeks back I was able to insert the Dataset in the Delivery unit in Service Org screen but when I am trying to use the same job and same input file, the dataset are not importing.What I Investigated is, table Service_Organization is not storing the datasets field now, but earlier it was there.Not sure if IFS has made some changes, can anyone confirm what needs to be checked?thanks in advance.
Due to a storage space issue, our customer recently moved their files from the database (DB) to File System Storage (FSS).Since then, users have been receiving the information message shown below when accessing documents, and it is causing delays when viewing them.After researching the IFS Community, we found that this behavior may be related to the "Enable File Scan to Detect Malware" parameter in the System Parameters window. The suggested workaround is to disable this setting. However, due to security considerations, we do not want to disable malware scanning at this stage.We have also attempted refreshing the system caches, but the issue persists.Current version :25.1.5Any guidance or recommendations on how to resolve this issue while keeping malware scanning enabled would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Everyone,We need to know latest tools that we have for Data migration within the IFS except the DMM , Ex: SAP to IFS Cloud Ex: noted this Article as well but not sure , what are the latest approaches (https://www.ifs.com/en/insights/news/ifs-launches-accelerator-to-help-sap-customers)Best Regards,Hashan
Hello, I am attempting to create an arrival to receive a Purchase Order line via REST API. I am inspecting the endpoint calls that Aurena makes during the process, but i’m unable to figure out which call is actually performing the receipt. I see calls to CreateReceiptSet but the payload doesnt include the information from the arrival line (PO #, Line, Etc). I also see CreateArrivalReceipt, but it only uses what i assume is the OBJKEY that is returned from CreateReceiptSet. I know this is a little tricky because an assistant is involved, but I cant seem to make sense of the calls that are happening. Any tips for figuring out how this assistant works?
A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionIn an Int Purch Direct flow, when the Planned Delivery Date is changed on the demand site, the supply site internal customer order is updated accordingly. Since the Target Date follows the received Wanted Delivery Date, the original customer requested delivery date is no longer visible on the supply site order.The original customer Wanted Delivery Date is an important reference point for planning. Even when internal planning dates change, visibility of the customer's original requested date helps the planning team understand the customer's expectation and work towards delivering as close to that date as possible. This also supports delivery performance analysis.B. Context and scope1) Who is affected?Internal users Customers2) FrequencyChoose ONE: keep the applicable option and delete the rest.DailyC.

All, As a manufacturing business we produce parts that are batch and revision controlled.This data must be physically seen on the parts produced as they are manufactured via shop orders. If there is only one operation this is simple as a label can be produced at the final operation and the part is booked into stock.How do other identify track product that has more than one operation as it moves through production from one work centre to another?Currently we rely on hand written cards and the business wants to move away from this but I can not see a standard way in IFS to produce a label once you report an operation quantity on the shop order. Is this something that IFS can't do as standard or is it a setting that we have not turned on.Any help is very much appreciated, Sarah
Hello everyone,I’m completely lost.I’m using IFS Cloud 25R2 and I’m desperately trying to generate a UBL invoice in the French format.First of all, I’ve correctly configured a customer for an E-INVOICE output.Next, I created an OUT routing rule (first with a message_type = E-INVOICE_FR, then SEND_UBL_EINVOICE_LIFE_CYCLE_EVENT), an IFS_FINVOICE_TO_IFS_EINVOICE transformer, a routing address (functional, FinvoiceUBL_%TAG=INVOICE_ID%_%TAG=C06%.xml) and, finally, a sender).When I send an invoice to this customer, an XML file containing the customer’s invoice data is indeed written to disk, but it does not conform to the template required by the French government.Does anyone have a document setting out all the configuration steps required to successfully generate an invoice in the French UBL format? I’ve been searching through the documentation, but nothing I’ve tried has worked.Thank you for your help.
After upgrade to 24R1 i receive this information toaster message occasionally. I always get them when i log in, and then approximately one time each 10 minute. Message says “Unable to subscribe to notifications. You will not receive new notifications”. However i do still receive notifications. This issue is from a customer environment, and i have not seen it in other environments on 24R1. At least some other users have the same issue. Any ideas on why i get this message?
We have upgrade two customers to 26r1 and it seem like the ifsapp-connect pod has issues. It crash loops (OOMKILLED) using 2,5 core of cpu and over 4/5GB of memory even if now messages is in state processing.We have also observer that execute in order queue dosn’t work as expected (don’t stop processing on failed messages and runns multiple messages in parallel) and on the in sequence queue you can’t control the amount of threads… It just ends up with a lot’s of messages in processingHas anybody seen similar issues on ifsapp-connect in 26r1 or do we need ro report it as an bug to IFS Support?
Hi All,I am aware that from version 24R1 onwards, IFS Cloud (Remote Deployed) customers are limited to using only Database and File storage.I have a defence customer hosted on-premises in the UK. They have operations in both the UK and Australia, and due to legal requirements, they must store documents in external storage within their respective countries, not in the database or cloud.Is there any limitation whereby remote deployed customers are restricted to use one File storage location?If so, how can IFS address these legal requirements given that only File storage and Database options are available moving forward?Thanks,Chamath
Hi,We use the ISO20022 payment format for bank transfer. Starting in November, banks will require detailed address information in transfer files. We’ve set the Detailed Address information on Format Specific Information per Institute page and Supplier - Payment - Electronic Payment Address page.The result is almost good, but the street name and building number are in one tag, and the tag name is not correct: This is the correct format for structured xml:or there is a hybrid structured:How do I configure the system to access a particular structure?
