Hi All,I have a requirement to restrict end users not to remove confirmation or remove approval when an expense sheet is approved. I need to control this through access attributes but not using permission sets. Should not be able to change the status from Approved to Confirmed or Preliminary. Could you please support me how I have set the condition here? Regards,MalinG

Hello everyone,I am encountering an issue with an inter-company subcontracting flow between two internal sites (Site 0175 and Site 0210) using the "Customer Order" component method.Context & Setup: Site 0175 (Internal Customer) orders Part AB from Site 0210 (Internal Supplier). Purchase Component Method: Set to "Customer Order". Product Structure: Part AB is a Purchase structure containing components A and B. Message Setup: MHS flow is active for both sites (ORDERS, DESADV, etc.).The Flow: Site 0175 releases a Purchase Order (P330) for Part AB. This automatically generates a Component Customer Order (P227) on Site 0175 to ship components A & B to the supplier (Site 0210). We process the shipment for P227. The components are shipped, and a Dispatch Advice (DESADV) is automatically sent. On the supplier side (Site 0210), a Customer Order (P228) for Part AB is correctly created via MHS.The Problem: When the Incoming Dispatch Advice for components A & B reaches Site 0210, it

We are trying to determine if there is a way to see what line items were included in a specific delivery note.  When we deliver lines and go thru the order process, it creates a delivery note but it shows all lines on the order in the delivery note screen.  We need to tie a line to a delivery note.  Is this possible?

We have 1200 Task Cards for a prototype work that we want to revise and update. Those Task Cards may have up to 20 subtasks. We have a problem that the Task Card ID it self now has the prototype ID in it. So we want to edit this text.In addition we want to be able to make revisions  of a Task Card for other reasons also. The only way we’ve found to edit the Task Card ID is to duplicate the Task Card, leaving us with an almost empty Task Card, where we need to manually add all requirements, sign-offs and subtasks. And if we try to edit the Task Card, we aren’t allowed to edit the Task Card ID (understandable) or the Task Card Revision (?). We can change the Revision Date, but not the revision number. Are there any standard way to revise a Task Card, giving us a new Task Card with a new Revision Number? We are now considering data migration. Our version is 25R1.3. Br,Øystein

Hello to everyone,Can I use the carry-forward limit before the annual leave limit?For example: if I have 5 carry-forward days from previous year and lets say this year my usual limit is 14 days, can I arrange something that when I enter an annual leave can it use carry-forward limit before my usual limit?Because in my scenario if there are any unused days, it doesn't carry them over to the next year by adding the previous years’ unused days; it only carries over the unused days from the last year to the next year.Thank you,

Can someone please help me to show ho to register and load an entire table with several linear assets data in IFS CLoud? 

Various users are experiencing the ‘+’ (new) icon or ‘pencil’ (edit) icon disappearing from pages (even though they have permissions) , This is resolved by logging out and back in and the icons re-appear and the page behaves as expected. Has anyone else experienced this/have a fix?

Considering that IFS does not allow the creation of a supplier check without generating a voucher, what is the recommended approach to handle post-dated checks where the check is issued to the supplier ahead of time, but the accounting entry should only be recognized in a future period?

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 Redirect URi? Overall, I'm not sure if this configuration w

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.    We then tried using Monitor Schedules with the Process File option. However, on the Data Connectors screen, we can only see the csvinbound connector and it seems it is only for inbound integrations.  Could you please advise how we can generate outbound CSV files and store them in the Azure Fi

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 

Hello,We are currently using IFS Cloud in our company. I would like to develop an internal mobile application to make frequently used processes (such as material requests) easier and more practical for field usage.How can I integrate this mobile application with IFS?Where can I access the API information and documentation for our environment?Additionally, is it possible to securely write transactions from the mobile application directly to our IFS server without issues?I would also appreciate any further recommendations regarding mobile development best practices with IFS Cloud.Thank you in advance.

There is a popup that comes up everytime an employee is added to a project, after their first project.  Is there a way to disable this popup?  

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?    

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?
