 We recently updated to 24R1 and noticed that a function that is used frequently by us for manually posted invoices was removed. The ability to copy and paste posting information. This is used due to our authorization combination rules that many within the company fail to recognize. After filling in the posting information authorizers and acknowledgers are removed leaving the invoice in status “Balance”. The easiest way to sole is by copying posting information, deleting and pasting to trigger the rule.  I can not find a reason to why it was removed anywhere and if it will return in future updates.   

In Shop Order Cost, Actual Cost tab, we have “Total Accumulated Cost.”In Shop Orders Costs, there are “WIP at Aggregation Date”, and “Actual Accumulated Costs Total” fields.All of these fields have different values on some shop orders.What are the differences between each?Which field is best to use to determine the current actual accumulated cost of a shop order?Thanks,Eric

Hello, We want to use CRM Companion on Android. I can access the CRM/SRM screens. Does CRM Companion require an additional license?

Looking for adviceWe’re starting to see rounding discrepancies on invoices where the line total does not match the displayed unit price × quantity, which is beginning to create issues with customs documentation.Example:Stored unit price: 3.46343412Qty: 50IFS calculates:3.46343412 × 50 = 173.171706 → 173.17However the invoice displays the unit price as 3.46, so a manual calculation shows:3.46 × 50 = 173.00Our client is encountering issues when very large quantities are involved, as small rounding differences become magnified in the final totals.Is this the expected behavior in IFS Cloud for invoice calculations?Has anyone found a configuration or best practice to avoid these mismatches, especially where customs documentation expects totals to match the displayed unit price?

This post is relevant for manufacturing customers using operational reports. It is a heads-up that we are planning to deprecate below listed operational reports. BackgroundAlthough the transition to paperless manufacturing is still in progress, the demand for printed documentation or reports shared as PDFs has noticeably decreased. We have several reports that we believe are either not used or have numerous alternative options available in IFS Cloud for sharing such information. Maintaining these reports still consumes time that could be better spent developing new functionality. Therefore, we plan to deprecate these reportsReports planned to be deprecatedKanban Audit Report Kanban Supplier Receipt History Report Capability Graph Data Qman Sample Value SPC Graph Sample Data for Variables Analysis Result History Recipe Print Out Routing Report Structure Information Report Structure/Routing ReportWhat happens now?This deprecation will be communicated officially via the release notes in I

When I try to create and save my invoice I get the error message “Payment address object does not exist for DTACHCU”. I have done the below setup for payment method DTACHCU.  It is not allowed to define electronic payment address for payment method DTACHCU. Any idea what could be the reason for getting the error message Payment address object does not exist for DTACHCU?

Hi Colleagues,In connection with testing the integration to Pagero,  encountered issues related to missing fields required for outbound invoices to Romania. Specifically, the fields “Seller Legal Information,” “Seller Country Code,” and “VAT Accounting Currency Code” do not appear to be included in the IFS_EINVOICE_TO_FINANCE transformer.Is IFS fully complies with the ANAF requirements for Romanian outbound e‑invoicing. Comparison of the transformers in IFS 10 and IFS Cloud does not indicate that these mandatory fields are being generated in either version. We received following error from Pagero sideThe document does not satisfy requirements for recipients format Romania EN16931 CIUS. The following errors were identified: [BR-RO-030]-Daca Codul monedei facturii (BT-5) este altul decat RON, atunci Codul monedei de contabilizare a TVA (BT-6) trebuie sa fie RON. #If the Invoice currency code (BT-5) is other than RON, then the VAT accounting currency code(BT-6) must be RON. /*:Invoice[1]

We have an internal process that dictates that customer orders received after a certain time cannot be processed and shipped until the next day. Is there a way to configure this is IFS? In specific, we want to see that the planned ship date lands on the following workday. So for example, any customer orders that land on Friday after the cutoff time will not be processed or shipped until Monday.

One of our IFS Cloud 25R1 customers has a somewhat unusual requirement. They would like to use the Shop Floor Workbench (or any other suitable functionality) solely to track the progress of Shop Order Operations — for example: Whether an operation has started If it has been interrupted Actual production start and end times Whether the operation is currently ongoing Similar status-related information typically tracked via the workbench However, they do not want to report quantities or scrap through the Shop Floor Workbench.In addition, they do not want the machine and labor times recorded through Shop Floor Clocking to be transferred to the actual cost of the Shop Order (they are using the weighted average valuation method). Instead, they prefer to report operation quantities and times directly through the Shop Order and want only those manually reported transactions to be considered for Labor and Operation postings.Is it possible to achieve this using the Shop Floor Workbench?A

We get a lot orders where customers do not indicated exactly when they want the product delivered because only really indicate they want the product shipped using the cheapest shipment code (i.e. Ground), so they just simply submit the order and the order is entered into IFS. These orders are either entered manually or done electronically. The issue is that we cannot have customer service reps go through every single order to determine what the Wanted Delivery should be for these orders, so IFS calculates the Wanted Delivery Date the same date as the Created Date. We don’t will call or do same day delivery, so the Wanted Delivery Date should never be the same as the Created Date.We have created pick and external transport leadtimes for all customer ship-to’s in the Customer Supply Chain Matrix. However, these only work if the Wanted Delivery is not the same same date as the Created Date. Some customers do indicate future Wanted Delivery Dates in which case the leadtimes in the Customer

Hi,I’d like to display the “Planned Cost and Sales” tab under the “Tasks” tab directly on the Request Management Page on a 24R1 environment.To do so, I understand that I need to configure the JtTask projection to bind it to the JtTaskPlanning entity.But I’m not able to create a configuration for the JtTask projection, it doesn’t appear on the list pf configurable projections :Would someone know why JtTask isn’t a configurable projection?Regards,Caroline

Hi All,I’m seeking assistance and ideas regarding an issue we are facing with ADFS Single Sign-On (SSO) for IFS Apps 10 IEE. Requirement is as below:The customer expects Windows Integrated Authentication (WIA) to log in to IFS automatically using the currently logged-in Windows user account (Domain account). They log into their domain-joined Windows machine. The same credentials should be passed automatically to IFS via ADFS. No username or password should be manually entered.

Hello everyone,when working in Forecast View in IFS Cloud, I receive the following warning message: I am trying to understand where these value should be filled in, because I cannot find any field for it in the usual locations.I already tries to find it in Sales Part and Inventory Part, but was unable to. So here is my question: Where exactly in IFS Cloud should the “Planned Sales Price” (used by Forecast View) be entered?I am interested in all the analitical views highlighed in red.If there you know of any source I could use to understand the values in yellow I would be greatfull as well.Any guidance or screenshots would also be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance!

There does not appear to be any publicly available documentation confirming that IFS Cloud DB is supported on IBM AIX 7. Could someone please confirm whether IFS supports this platform? Since AIX is also a Unix-based operating system, we assume there should not be any issues, but it would be helpful to have confirmation or any supporting information.

Community, We realized that customer warranty is not being considered when doing retrospective work reporting SM.  Is it as-designed or a bug?  We are in APP10.

Hi everyone,Could anyone confirm if IFS provides any recommended minimum sizing specifications for IFSCloud Management servers? I’d appreciate any guidance or documentation references.Thanks in advance!

We recently encountered a failed transaction related to a Serial Object ID error, which led us to question how the list of Serial Objects are available for selection in Mobile Work Order is defined in IFS Cloud 24R2.We are trying to locate if this list is maintained or controlled in. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Experts Is it possible to define a planning rule and use the assumption driver as an output? Best RegardsSophal

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?
