Hi all,Our employees sometimes register their absences also in the Time Card, usually they use Register Absences. This means their supervisor doesn’t get a warning/request and cannot approve those hours via Absence Calendar, because they are not visible there. But the absence limits are adjusted with this registration.Is it possible to remove special Wage Codes from the list in “Report Time”, so the user will be forced to use Register Absences?Do you have any other advice?We already checked the Absence Group but couldn’t find a solution there.Thank youP.S. we are working with IFS cloud 25.1.4
Hi everyone,I’m currently working with IFS workflows and E-Forms, and I’m trying to configure multiple triggers for a single work task. However, I’m seeing unexpected behavior and would appreciate some guidance. Questions Workflow Trigger Limitations Is it possible to configure multiple triggers for E-Forms on a single work task? Or is there a one-to-one limitation between a work task and workflow trigger? If multiple triggers are supported, are there any specific configuration requirements? Technical Functionality Can multiple workflows be triggered at different phases of a work task, such as: Before job start After job completion If this is supported, why would only one workflow trigger execute, even when multiple are configured? Best Practices What are the recommended best practices for workflow configuration when: Multiple E-Forms are required for a single work task Different triggers are needed at different phases Testi

The application allows defining future valid‑from dates for tax codes only if the tax code is not a duplicate. While this behavior is understandable as the standard application logic, it becomes a limitation in scenarios where tax rates are expected to change in the future. In such cases, users are unable to maintain multiple future tax rates for the same tax code.Currently, the only possible workaround is to create a new tax code with a different ID, even though it represents the same tax code with a revised rate. This results in multiple tax codes being created in the application, as the system does not allow maintaining the same tax code with different rates across different validity periods.If the application could filter and identify valid tax codes based on their validity period dates in the tax codes window, it would be possible to define multiple tax codes with the same ID but different tax rates.For example, the tax code ST may have a rate of 25% valid from 01/01/2026 to 31/12
We are looking for a way to “take back” Work Assignments which have been transferred to the mobile app (MWO). Currently the only way open to us is by the App User to actively send it back.We have several cases now where going via the app is no longer possible.We have recently upgraded to 25R1 and I was hoping to use the DB Task Schedule "Remove completed/incomplete jobs” for exactly this case. But it seems to not removed the “transferred” as expected for incomplete jobsCan anyone give me the technical description? I cannot find this job in the usual place (https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/030_administration/020_bckgrnd_processing/020_database_tasks/110_predef_db_tasks/) My current setup: I would have expected it to clean up any assignments older then 200 days.But for example this assignment remains “transferred”: Does anyone know of a different way to take back transferred work assignments?Thank you very much in advance. Any input on this subject is highly appreciated.BR, Catherine
Hello,I want to start using a scrap factor for some purchase components. I’ve been testing the two options.1)Inventory part, planning data , scrap factor field. This looks like it only applies the scrap factor to purchase requirements and PO’s qty. No demand is created, nor does it change the qty available in stock. 2)Change the product structure to include the scrap factor. Adding the scrap factor to the BOM looks like it will create additional demand, reduce the available inventory qty and require purchase action to satisfy the assembly + scrap factor.I don’t see any advantage to using #1 since it will not recalculate the current inventory available qty or shop order demands. I see the only change that will take place is on the purchase order level if a purchase order does exist. Is anyone using the scrap factor in the Inventory part screen with good results?

Import External Product Structure in IFS CLOUD it’s the best solution?IFS Cloud Documentation Prepare the file for import: The file should be in Excel format and contain the items you want to import.

Hi Report experts,I can see following in the IFS Cloud 25R1 Deprecation Log.Starting with IFS version 25R2, Monotype fonts (Arial, Arial Narrow, Courier, Garamond, Times New Roman) will no longer be included in IFS Report Designer and IFS Report Studio. To maintain consistency, Déjà Vu fonts will be used as the standard .My question is, what is the impact on custom Report Designer reports ( custom Report Designer reports built from scratch for customers prior to 25R2) in case customer will not have all these Monotype fonts after upgrading to 25R2?Is it just a matter of adding an entry to Report Fonts/Font Substitution ORAny manual Report Designer layout adjustments required for each custom Report Designer report?
Today we use external voucher assistant, but our users find this to be a bit troublesome due to creation of excel, convert to .txt and then upload. I got a question about using a migration job instead, but before starting to build such file I want to know if someone else done this and if so, was it successful? Thanks in advance./Tobias

Hi there.How do I connect a charge in kg to a sales part in pcs?We sell batteries in pcs, but we want to add a (environmental) charge calculated in the total weight of the sales part.I want to avoid creating unique charge type for each possible product weight. Example:Part A (Battery 12V 40A). Weight 12 kg.Part B (Battery 12V 60A). Weight 15 kgCharge Type “ENV_FEE_KG”. Price 0,5 EUR per kgI want to connect the same Charge type to both part A and B.And that charge will calculate cost separetly for both parts.Lets say I want to sell 3pcs each.(12 kg x 3 pcs=36 kg15 kg x 3 pcs = 45 kgCost line 1: 36 kg x 0,5 EUR = 18 EURCost line 2: 45 kg x 0,5 EUR = 22,5 EUR) Warm regards Andreas
Hi all,According to the Documentation ../ifsdoc/documentation/en/Appsrv/frmSystemDef.htm for IFSApp10 Update 27 it states that there are 3 different statuses: But when saving the record with status PLANNED I get this error.

Hi,I tried to build a link to another window within a column in a Quick Report, so that after running the report, the link would be clickable (highlighted) in the browser. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to achieve this, as it seems that the data in Quick Reports is always displayed as plain text.Has anyone managed to get this working?For example, imagine we have a report with customer orders, and the last column contains a constructed link. When clicked, it should take the user directly to the order with the corresponding number.
