We received a weighted average costed part with a Supplier Invoice Consideration that is Transaction Based.  The wrong price was on the original PO and we sold the parts to a customer.  The Detailed Statistics screen is showing the sale price with the wrong cost field.  The PO cost was updated and the supplier invoice was posted and processed to reflect the change in price.  On the Inventory Transaction page, we can see the change in the costs and the appropriate accounting entries to reflect the change in the Cost of Good Sold account.  However, we run the Detailed Statistics nightly, and the invoice in question, has not had the cost updated as reflected in the journal entry.  Is there something we can do to update the Detail Statistics - Invoiced Sales data.  We export this data into a Power BI data warehouse to run reports and this one is not reflected correctly.

Here is an example: Issue #1 -  the sales qty should update to 40 not the original 44.  I believe this quantity is updated during the invoicing process of the order.  I verified that simply reserving the amount does not update the qty.Issue #2 and the issue I am asking about, I need the Swell allowance to be calculated on the total line/order value AFTER ALL OTHER ADJUSTMENTS ARE APPLIED. How can this be accomplished in an automated way?

In the report designer tool I am trying to trouble shoot an issue with my layout. To do so I normally retrieve a current version from Report Archive and note the Result Key. In the tool, I open the correct layout and use the Online Preview option to view that same Result Key so I can see changes to the same report output. However, in some layouts, I’m not able to preview with current result keys. Instead what is available in the preview are documents that are several months old. Any ideas how to correct this? I’ve only seen this in 1 layout, not in several other layouts I’ve been editing and reviewing.

Dear Community, I have successfully configured Microsoft Entra ID as a Brokered Identity Provider following the official IFS guide: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r2/030_administration/010_security/040_iam_settings/041_external_identity_providers/021_Configuring_Azure/ Everything works fine, but only with our internal website. For external access (Cloudflare+reverse proxy), I added an additional parameter to the ifscloud-values.yaml configuration file, namely secondarySystemUrl. External access works, but only for manual authorization (entering login manually). For external access, I also want to use Microsoft Entra ID as an identity broker. On the MS Entra side, I added an additional external redirect URI and planned to add an additional identity provider on the application side as well, but unfortunately, the application only generates redirect URIs for the internal site. How can I create IAM Identity Provider with external Redire

Hello experts,We currently use CSV XML maps to generate files and store them in an internal FTP location. Due to security concerns, we are changing our approach and plan to use an Azure File Share (shared location provided from the IFS side) instead.We have already requested and received the SAS token information, and we are able to access the file share using the provided SAS token via Azure Storage Explorer.Our requirement is to generate files using the existing CSV XML maps and store them directly in this Azure File Share location.We first attempted to use a message routing rule with the FileExtractHandler, but this resulted in an “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error.

Hi,Is anyone using a 128 barcode font with Crystal Reports for IFS Cloud?We installed a demo download IDAutomation font and it works fine from a PC with the Crystal Report designer but doesn’t appear to work in the PDFs produced from IFS when installed on the Crystal Report server.  We found a reference to the need for a fully licensed version on the IDAutomation support pages, but we also found a reference on the SAP support pages which said that “Custom Licensed Fonts of this type or any licensed font are not Embedded into the PDF doc due to licensing issues.This is by design.”We know the longer term advice is to move away from Crystal Reports but in the short term we’d like to confirm whether a licensed font will work.Any feedback much appreciated!

Hi all,We work in IFS App 10, and I’m looking for a ‘get’ method ! My starting point is the shop order operations list, and I need to retrieve the start date of the ‘next operation’ based on a given operation number… there doesn’t seem to be a ready-made ‘get’ method for this, so I’m trying to find a workaround / combining a couple of ‘get’…I have already identified this method : SHOP_ORDER_OPERATION_API.GET_OP_START_DATE  for retrieving a given operation’s start date ; however, I am struggling to find a method that retrieves the number of the ‘next operation’ based on a given operation number ! Can anyone help me with that ?

Dear IFS-Community,is it possible to set up a pseudo code with a tax code?I already checked the external payment parameters but I can’t set up the tax code for the whole message code.I’m a bit confused because in my opinion this is a standard case if I want to automate transactions on accounts.Hopefully I’m just blind 🤓GreetingsFrederic

I have a couple of clients in 25R1 that are using or want to use Visual Shop Order Operations Planning to drag and drop operations from a  workcenter to another workcenter;  However, we are finding a few oddities:We have resources within a workcenter that are blocked yet the resources still appear in the Gannt chart.  Why? The calendar has definite time periods per day that the operations can be assigned .  However, Gannt chart still shows the full 24 hours.  Can we filter out th enon-working time and if so, how? How can I filter out particular work centers so I don’t even see them as them on the Gannt.chart even though the work center is active?Thanks!

We are trying to edit the Recent Transactions toggle in Project Transactions (Project Management>Reporting>Project Transactions) on to default is off.  I haven’t been able to find this setting to edit, has anyone had success in trying to change this default setting?

In the IFS Product documentation, it is stated that the general rating for the supplier will be generated and updated based on the outcome of the selected evaluation. In other words, the overall score obtained from the evaluation will correspond to a specific rating that will be assigned to the supplier.  Note that it mentions “the selected” evaluation but does not indicate how an evaluation can be selected. I have done the rating and evaluation value mapping in the Supplier Rating screen. Then I have done a Supplier Peformance Evaluation and published it after the results were generated. But the Supplier’s SRM tab does not reflect the general rating based on the mappings defined in Supplier Rating. Am I missing something? TIA

Hello everyone, We are currently in the process of automating the customer reminder process and want to use the Event Action Send Email for this. We would also like to personalise the email for the customer as much as possible (which we consider to be a minor requirement 😊 ), i.e. the customer number and customer name should appear in the subject line.Now that doesn't seem like such a small request, and we haven't been able to manage it.😑We are unable to proceed with the values in the conditions in the ‘Event Action Details’ screen. However, I sincerely hope that the issue is on the screen side 🙄 and that it is quite simple to resolve. Can anyone help us please?    

Hi I am in a process of validating data.We have migrated the legacy customer contact data to IFS but when I try to add a communication method for a contact person I am getting this error message. Seems this error occur only for the migrated data customer contacts.If I create a new contact I can enter the communication methods. Any tips to mitigate this issue? Thanks,Chamath

Is there any documentation on the plot setting tab  of the scheduling settings in the advanced planning board. I was exploring the Characteristic Code Values, but I don’t know what the exact “codes” are and what to use to make it work correctly.. I was wondering if there instructions or a list to go off to code? 

When in Project Management>Plan and Execute>Project Scope and Schedule, the ability to search disappears once a project is expanded.   Does anyone know if you can display a Search function once inside an expanded project?  Please see attached screen grabs for clarification.  

We are using IFS Applications 10 with Approval Templates for Purchase Orders. I would like to understand how an approval decision can be revoked once an approver has already taken a decision.In our approval setup, there are multiple approval steps. When one of the approvers rejects the Purchase Order, we correct the issue or query in the PO and attempt to resend the approval. Although the system allows us to add another approval step, the previously rejected step remains locked, and the same approver is not allowed to take a new decision. please clarify whether it is possible to fully restart the approval process after a rejection so that all approvers, including the one who rejected earlier, can approve again? If this is not possible, please confirm the standard and recommended approach in IFS Applications 10 for handling such scenarios.

Hi Team,I’m looking for a complete example of a DDLSOURCE file, as the link in the IFS documentation appears to be broken (404 error):docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r2/060_development/027_base_server_dev/225_reduced_downtime_delivery/020_code_changes/007_concepts/090_source_code_file/ddlsource_files.mdDuring the 25R2 upgrade, the documentation states that all code from the .cre file should be added to the .ddlsource file.

I am using the ReceiveEinvoiceService.svc to create External Supplier Invoices.  My desire is to send all the necessary information (Header, Lines, Taxes, Charges, Purchase Orders) to IFS so that a Posting Proposal / Manual Supplier Invoice can be generated.   Sadly, the endpoints at the ReceiveEinvoiceService.svc only supports sending a limited properties.  I have to call the ExternalSupplierInvoiceTaxInformationHandling.svc manually in order to configure the individual Tax Codes on the External Supplier Invoice.  Additionally, I have to call ExternalSupplierInvoiceLineInformationHandling.svc to update the Lines with the Purchase Part Description, whether it is a Charge Line or not, and the total tax from the tax detail.Once I am done configuring the External Supplier Invoice, I have to call the ExternalSupplierInvoicesHandling.svc to check and create endpoints in order for the Posting Proposal / Manual Supplier Invoice to be generated.My code / flow works fine
