Hi All,Can someone please explain the standard IFS solution to impair fixed assets? In that process, will I be able to identify impairment transactions separately from other value reductions of the FA?
Hi,can you tell me, pls, what the REPLICATED field is for …(IFS Cloud, Application service update: 25.1.9)Thanks a lot!Vít
In IFSAPPS10, is there a way of updating project estimates by creating a project forecast from IFS itself.
We are currently on apps 10 upd 18 Aurena and in the middle of a cloud upgrade. We’ve noticed in apps 10 that the Inventory Part Usage Tracing page doesn’t load when you click it from the navigator. It’s like there’s no URL under the page.I can RMB on Inventory Transaction History and see “Open link in new tab”When I RMB on Inventory Part Usage Tracing in the navigator it shows me the menu that looks like I’m not clicked on a link. Does anyone else have this issue? Eventually after clicking it (~10 mins of waiting) it will load but there is no indication on the screen that it’s loading.
Under our previous IFS APPS 8 system we maintained a separate Oracle license and Support agreement for our on-premise Oracle servers, and we were thus eligible to download items from Oracle Technical Network (OTN) such as Oracle database client software for use with e.g. PL/SQL Developer for direct database access. For IFS Cloud we have limited but similar database access via the IFS VPN for working with our cloud application and on our build place dev environments. However, for IFS Cloud we no longer have a direct support agreement with Oracle for IFS. Will we be able to download future versions and updates to the Oracle client software from IFS, as developer support items? I have searched the community and the Developer tools areas without finding any reference to this.
Hi, Does anyone possible have an idea on why one could receive the following errors when trying to validate the SAF-T Norway file?Line: 8734, position: 7 - The element 'TaxRegistration' in namespace 'urn:StandardAuditFile-Taxation-Financial:NO' has invalid child element 'TaxAuthority' in namespace 'urn:StandardAuditFile-Taxation-Financial:NO'. List of possible elements expected: 'TaxRegistrationNumber' in namespace 'urn:StandardAuditFile-Taxation-Financial:NO'.Line: 8834, position: 7 - The element 'TaxRegistration' in namespace 'urn:StandardAuditFile-Taxation-Financial:NO' has invalid child element 'TaxType' in namespace 'urn:StandardAuditFile-Taxation-Financial:NO'.

There is a requirement for an Intercompany (IC) set up when the business unit operates in IFS Applications 8 and the manufacturing plant operates in IFS Cloud. Apps 8 raises an external Customer Order and an Intercompany Purchase Order; Cloud creates the internal trade Customer Order, manufactures, ships, and invoices. Anyone who has handled a similar requirement? since this is not possible without an integration customer will go for an integration set up, is using connect will be the best possible choice?What should be focused on when designing the solution in this direction? should we use purch order direct purch order transit rather than int purch dir and int purch transit if the customer and supplier is treated separately in different DBs?, tips and ideas are welcome :) (APP 8 BUs will come to cloud eventually but not now so this is an interim solution until all comes to cloud.)
Hi!We are experiencing an issue where absence actions are not being generated. For example:An employee reports a 9-day sick leave absence in Time Card. This should generate an absence action. We have not changed any parameters in the Absence Group Function. Absence actions are generated for Company A but not for Company B. I have tried to identify what differentiates the two and tested various scenarios, but without success. If anyone has an idea where I should look, I would greatly appreciate it. This scenario is in a CFG environment in Cloud 24R2. We are not experiencing this issue in IFS9.
Hello all, It is possible de define Price effecctive date (either Order date or Receipt date) at the level of the supplier. Do you have an idea if it is not possible to change this at the lvel of purchase part or purchase order line? I have a client who asked for it Thanks
Hi,I am currently using 25R2, when selecting Start Work on the mobile app (IFS MWO Maintenance), I am receiving the following error. When select Accept, Incomplete and Reject it works OK. Can you please advise what may be causing this issue when Start Work is selected? Thanks!
When attempting to change the status of a work task from Work Started to Work Done, we receive the error message below - divisor is equal to zero.In reviewing the work task, the work order, the PM Action, the measurements for object, no issue can be found. Any insight/thoughts would be helpful!
I am trying to configure navigation from Prepare Work Order (Active Separate) screen to History Log screen and pass WO_NO as a filter. When navigating from Prepare Work Order, the History Log should show records only for that specific WO number. I tried using navigation filter like:startswith(tolower(Keys),'wo_no eq ($[WoNo])^')), Keys contains 'wo_no eq ($[WoNo])^'))But it is not returning the expected records. History Log stores WO number inside the KEYS field, so I am trying to filter based on that value.What is the correct navigation filter expression to pass WO_NO from Prepare Work Order to History Log?If anyone has implemented similar navigation filtering for KEYS field, please suggest the correct approach.Keys: WO_NO=2^Also, I need to filter History Log records where:LU Name = ApprovalRouting Since the KEYS field contains multiple key references like:KEY_REF=WO_NO=2^LINE_NO=1^LU_NAME=ActiveSeparate^STEP_NO=10^ I need to understand how to correctly pass WO_NO (and other key refe
I have a supplier that allows us 5% discount if paid in 10 days or 2% if paid within 25 days and net due in 31 days. I have tried setting up a payment term to calculate that but it isn’t working in my testing, either IFS functionality doesn’t support that or my setup is incorrect?
Hello everyone,We use APP10 / Aurena. In 2025, we defined an absence limit for an absence type. The 2025 ANNLV reduction of 29 hours was intentional as Kallum sold 29 hours annual leave at the end of the year. We manually adjust the absence parameter for everyone that sells annual leave. Therefore the 2025 ANNLV limit is correct with 156 hours. Hower, the reduction of 29 hours should only affect the 2025 limit and not the 2026 limit. I don’t want those 29 unused hours to be carried over. But it’s the case, the hours for 2026 should be 17+26. The absence group configuration does not allow carry-over as the “Carry Forward Absence Type” field is empty.The root cause of the issue is that the -29 hours limit unused is automatically carried over to the 2026 limit… How can we ensure that this negative balance is not carried over to the following year?
Hi all,I have a Lobby element that I am using in two lobby pages. It is based on a datasource that uses two parameters Category_ID and Group_ID. My datasource query is using the NVL statement, means when one of the parameters is empty it returns everything. To this regards it is working well. However, when I want to use the same methodolgy as a navigation link I get an error. My navigation link contains:(startswith(tolower(Cf_Group_Id_Eo),$GroupID$)) and (startswith(tolower(Cf_Category_Id_Eo),$OBJECT_CLASS$))When both parameters $GroupID$ and $OBJECT_CLASS$ are given everything works fine. But when only one parameter is given (e.g. $GroupID$) than the second statement of my navigation link gets rendered as:contains(,'')) So this is obviously throwing an error. Any suggestions on how to fix that? I would like to avoid to create two different widgets since I want to reuse the same widget on both lobby pages. Looking forward to all of your responses
IFSAPP 8 - Supplier Verification and CIS tax report submissionWe have suddenly started to get the failure1:javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received close_notify during handshakeon the application messages that are connecting to the HMRC Transaction-engine.tax.serviceLast successful message on 9th May 10:01 - first failure at 13:31 the same day.Last year we implemented an additional Java parameter (-DUseSunHttpHandler=True) that forced a change to TLS 1.2 after HMRC withdrew support for TLS 1.0, and system has been working ever since. Anyone else having this issue? Any clues? :)
When creating a Customer Location I have the option to assign a Validity period against the location with a start date and end date:There doesn’t appear to be any enforcement of this parameter when I am creating a Service Request/Task at the customer location if the end date has been passed. Is this by design or is this possible a bug? The idea would be that the customer Location shouldn’t be shown on the LoV after the end date has passed.Thanks
Issue:We have recently identified an issue where the Demand Forecast window remains on the loading screen and cannot be accessed. Previously, a version mismatch between the IFS Application and the Demand Plan server was identified as the cause of this issue. However, the window is now hanging even though the versions are compatible, and all prerequisites have been completed.Environment:The issue can occur if any delivery is performed in a 24R2 environment, as it will automatically apply the latest available framework update. Also, the issue only can be observed in IFS Cloud 24R2 environments which are in framework SU15.Cause:This has been identified as a bug in the core application due to an incorrect artifact was shipped with the 24R2 SU15 release.Resolution:Issue is fixed with IFS Cloud 24R2 SU16.As the fix is related to the framework, you will not be required to apply the full application SU. A framework SU upgrade alone will be sufficient to deliver the fix to your environments. Yo
I am encountering an issue while attempting to send an outbound transaction from IFS to an external system (Maximo). The process fails with the following error:ExecutionException from Sender threadCaused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$TemporaryFailureException: Exception while sending dataCaused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host terminated the handshakeCaused by: java.io.EOFException: SSL peer shut down incorrectlyThis error occurs during the outbound integration from IFS to Maximo, indicating that the SSL handshake between the systems is not being successfully established.
Hi, I want to hide the Corrective and Preventive Actions section only for some users. I could not find any permission set that can be used to hide this.
The customer experience that after generating a SAF-T file (ver.1.30), there are five supplier-IDs used in GL (Transactions) which are not included in the MasterFiles Suppliers.What we have identified so far, is that one of the invoices has arrived in period 12 (previous year), the invoice is finally posted in the following periode 1, and then has a credit invoice matched in period 2.Anyone with similar experiences?
Hi all,I’m working with a Work Order that includes two Work Tasks: one handled by an external resource and one by an internal technician. These tasks are linked by a dependency and must be executed together.The external Work Task is assigned via the B2B Portal by the subcontractor, and the internal dispatcher must validate/confirm the proposed date before planning the internal task.The issue is that, in the B2B Portal, the dependency is not shown—even though the dependency is correctly defined and visible in IFS Cloud. I can see the “Dependency” section in the B2B Work Task screen, but no data is displayed.Has anyone experienced this? Is there a configuration or limitation in the B2B Portal that prevents dependencies from being displayed?IFS Cloud Dependencies
Hi all,In a workflow javascript I am using “new date()” to find the current date and time:var NowDK_ = new Date();execution.setVariable("NowDK_ ", NowDK_ );If returns something like "2026-03-25T09:27:14.560+0000"That is 1 hour behind the database server (sysdate) and application server.How do I get the the “right” date(like sysdate) inside a workflow?
Hi All, I tried to use an IFS API call which returns a struct but the return structure is not added to the debug values list. Is this not supported for workflows or is there any other way to call an IFS API call with a struct?My example API callWorkTaskHandling.GetPartSerialInfo(PartNo) Debug value list.Notice that previous steps which return string are added in the debug values but not the struct GetPartSerialInfo struct response format
