We have a part which is usually purchased, but occasionally has to be manufactured. How do we set the Cost Template so it picks up both manufacturing and purchase order info. 

We are currently implementing a workflow that allows us to create customer sales orders. Tests on a small scale are okay and we are happy.However, as soon as we move to a larger scale, the workflow crashes without an error.The dataset is composed of the same order that we create X times, so we know that we have no functional problems because iterating 30 creations, for example, is okay, but not 100.We have already limited the return of the projection as much as possible by using $select to retrieve only the desired columns.We have not exceeded the line reading limit per projection (10.000) (at most we read 5000 lines) and we don't think we have a problem with CASCADE_LIMIT because we set it to 250,000 for testing.We are more inclined towards a memory/CPU/space limit for the one of the pods.Do you have any knowledge of documentation or experience to parameterize the recommended memory or CPU or disk size? ​@dsj ​@kamnlk ​@IFS RD Product Management  Thank’s in advance 

Hi, We are looking at an integration with Boomi on Apps10. Using both the IFS and Generic REST connector we have an issue on the first Patch after it has not been used for between 6-10 hours, where it errors, but then retries and the transaction still happns.Does any one have experience of the ‘wake up’ process of the connector. It only happens on one specific process, which is fine at all other times.

Hi All, We can see associated Workflow Configuration of an assignment from MWO. However, this information is not visible in IFS cloud. I think that the ideal place to appear this is the Assignment tab of a Request Task.Further, “Surveys and Answers” are only visible once technician answer to specific surveys. Did  anyone try to make this information visible in IFS cloud at certain place? Any work around other than configuration/customization?Customer Need: Dispatcher/Planner needs to see what are the triggered configurations and survey from the Backoffice.TIA.

Hi All,Please let us know what the meaning of Invalid Task Group, we are getting this multiple services 

When using the 23R2 Dispatch Console for manual resource assignment for a customer who does not use PSO and has 4000 resources, is it advisable to use multiple datasets?  What advantage would the use of multiple datasets bring without PSO?  Is there is a concern that so many resources under one dataset would cause performance issues in the Dispatch Console even without using PSO?  Couldn’t filters on Resource Group and Region sufficiently limit the number or resources hitting the Dispatch Console even with all 4000 resources in one dataset?

In 25R1, I am trying to add a comment to an Outwards Transmittal. I cannot figure out how to do this, The Steps I followed are :1.Create Document Transmittal 2.Connected to a Project3.Entered Expected Send Date and Expected Latest comment days as today4.Connected Report to Transmittal5.In the Files to download section , Original and Comment files were enabled6.Added Documents to the Transmittal7.Documents were Quick Released8.Changed the Status of the Transmittal to Sent9.Added Acknowledgment10.Status was changed to Acknowledgement Received11.??? Need to add Comment - NOT SURE HOW TO DO THIS ?  

Out of curiosity, do any of you out there utilize Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) integration with IFS?  We are currently on IFS9UPD10, but are preparing to go to Cloud 25R2, and any information on this would be useful.  As you can imagine, it is a bit hard to find! Thank you in advance.

Dear experts,We're trying to add a new column to the 'Invoice' entity using the Developer Studio. During deployment, we encountered an error: "IFSAPP.INVOICE_API" has errorsORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "IFSAPP.INVOICE_API"ORA-06512:. This error indicates that the new column wasn't automatically included in the 'invoice_rec_' record type within the 'INVOICE_API' package.To work around this, we manually modified ('overridden') the “invoice_rec_”record type to include the new column. While this allowed the entity to deploy successfully, we're now encountering a new error in the 'INV_PROCESSING_TYPE_UTIL_API': 'ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small' in the customer invoice window. We're concerned about potential inconsistencies that may arise on the screen. Is this behavior a bug, or are we not advised to add new columns to the 'invoice_tab' table?Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, When an E-invoice is refused (like cycle 210 - Refused), legally in France localization, it means the invoice is not valid and should be cancelled.It seems that it doesn’t affect the ability to pay the invoice. Is that a normal behaviour ? My understanding was that the invoice should be cancelled in the system and another invoice sent. Being able to pay the invoice doesn’t seem correct.  Thank you

Clicking Share > Print on a purchase order created from a distribution order results in an error, “The operation is not possible for a purchase order created from a distribution order.”Is there a workaround or setting that will allow users to print a purchase order created from a distribution order?  

As you ask in my CS0489055 : “This demand has already been identified and channeled to R&D. They should be releasing a new Service Update version to attend to this legal demand in the upcoming releases [...].”, I create this “question” to obtain the required response. => Description of the demand : The format of the issued DAS2 file is not compliant. Please find attached a descriptive document and a French administrative document confirming this in the case CS0489055. Please, what is the planned date for the next Service Update for version 24R1, in which the requested correction will be included?

Hi, My customer has created a page as an action in mwo and added several fields to that page. In one section they have created two fields; a LOV and a Text field. The customer wants to enable to Text field based on the value they add to the LOV.Ex: make the text field visible only if the LOV value in ‘Other’.This has been setup in page designer configuration in below manner and working fine there.   However, the problem is that, this change does not apply to mobile. Any idea why?We have initialized the app, refreshed cache and disconnected and connected the app.Best Regards,

Has anyone successfully managed to retrieve Business Report data from IFS to an external application - through API/Projection (or using Boomi).Generate a BR report and then use that result as something that need to be transferred to an external application.Our scenario is that we need to create balance sheet/P&L and then transfer the result to a Consolidation system for the parent company. These reports are created in BR.I can find the created BR report in Excel_Report_Archive, as an Excel file but I have not managed to access the data. There doesn’t seem to be any generated API’s for Business reports either, for Quick Reports there are API’s automatically created that can be used to extract the data from IFS. Or maybe this has to be solved in Excel, through the generated Excel Sheet - to manually trigger a transfer with some sort of script?

Dear all.IFS has introduced the IFS Ai feature where it is possible to extract invoice header level information using invoice image file to load invoices automatically.I have extracted the desciption from the release notes of 25R1“To facilitate the supplier invoice data capture automation, the Azure Invoice Model is integrated with IFS Cloud to automatically extract relevant data from supplier invoices uploaded to the system. It supports various file formats, including JPG, JPEG, PNG, and PDF.​Upon upload, the model captures key invoice details and facilitates the creation of corresponding Supplier Invoices within the application.​The extracted data includes the following fields:​Header Level – Supplier, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Due Date, Invoice Recipient, PO Reference, Gross Amount, Net Amount and Tax Amount​”. Where can I find a help document which can help me configure this functionality. Need to demonstrate the same to customer.

We see the need to be able to modify operational loggings after serial numbers have been renamed. This happens quite a lot in our business that incorrect serial numbers get runs, and then are rebuilt before we have the possibility to correct the run. Can you please open up for this possibility? Pages: Correct Operationa Loggings, Report Operational Loggings

Hi, can I draw dependencies between activities using the mouse cursor in the IFS Cloud Project Gantt chart?Thanks, Vít

I have provided access to view documents of particular document class in IFS. Still users are able to attach the document in IFS for that document class.

In some cases, there would be a need to close (lost) sales quotations even if the products are not completely configurated. We can have quotations with tens of products, all with complex configurations which is severely time consuming. Therefore, sales may cancel the sales quotation instead of closing it, to save time and keeping the admin work less. This will of course affect the win/loss analysis negatively, not having the full picture. Is there any workaround in having the possibility to close sales quotations with unconfiguren products?

Hi All, Do we have a way to create two work assignments for below requirement.There should  be two or many assignments where one assignment is primary (task leader) and others are secondary.  Only reporting should be done by the primary assignment. Others are supportive and do not report time to the work. It is like booking of few other resources to support main assignee.Crew functionality does not matching with this since these grouping are dynamic and short term. In IFS, if you create assignments all has to complete the work to automatically transfer the work task status to “Work Done”.Is there a way to work with a primary assignment and a dummy assignments? TIA.

Hi,I've created a new service contract.It seems that I cannot set Plan Start Date (Invoicing) later than Valid From on the Service Contract Header. Why is this.For example the Contract Valid From date is 2026-04-01, but we have agreed with the customer that we will start invoicing from 2026-05-01.IFS doesn´t allow us to use service contract this way, why is this? How is it suppose to work? Is this somthing we can change?  

 Hello,I need help. The price of my supplier item link is no longer appearing in my distribution order, and I want this price to be transferred to the purchase order and sales order, as in the intercompany flow. Supplier for purchase part  

Hi,How do you handle situations where you need to request a deposit before executing a work order?I’m looking for a functionality similar to the advance invoice for customer orders, where the customer pays an amount in advance, and IFS takes that amount into account for the final invoice.I want the same functionality for my work orders. Before I start investigating, I need a deposit from the customer. Of course, this deposit should be deducted from the final invoice.IFS doesn’t seem to have such a function. Possible workarounds are:Using an instant invoice, but you need to remember to do this manually, and it's not linked to the specific work order. Adding a sales line on the work task and crediting it afterward.Both methods require manual intervention, which can be forgotten sometimes. Does anyone have a better idea?
