Hi,Is it possible to use a dynamic expression such as TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'IW') - (7*52) - 1 as a condition value for an information source entity criteria? Trying to add this for ITH_DATE_CREATED in FACT_INVENT_TRANS_HIST information source but i get below error when trying to click on save,Invalid date (TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'IW') - (7*52) - 1) defined for item FACT_INVENT_TRANS_HIST.ITH_DATE_CREATED. The date format should be YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS 

Greetings!When I perform an Inventory Count Report, I get a part number that is located in different spots that is printed on one sheet each location it is in. Is there a way to consolidate the report that way I don’t get 80+ pages of the same part number on 80 different locations on 80 separate pages on Apps 10?   

Hi all, With Crystal Reports being deprecated, was weighing the alternatives available for regular users to create business reporting. Anyone who has used both Power BI and Business Reporter, what are your thoughts? How do they compare against the visuals, limitations, configurability, integaration with IFS, access etc.I know Power BI will need premium licensing and will have to host the reports on a workspace for them to work.

Hi,I’m trying to call a custom API from an IAL in IFS Cloud.  The procedure is in a custom ‘develop on the inside’ utility package written and deployed from IFS Developer and works fine when called from projections.  The IAL also works fine if a standard IFS API procedure is called.I have added IFSAPP. prefix to the procedure call in the IAL query and as a result of this Community question I’ve also tried the @AO.. prefix (although that seems to apply to APPS10).Either of these result in the background job getting stuck in ‘Executing’ with progress shown as ‘Copying data’.I have also granted execute privilege on the package to IFSINFO.Is there something else I need to do to get the IAL to populate?

Hi,is there any way to achieve this in Business Reporter?SELECT MAX(result_seq_no) We run a job several times each month, generating values for our projects. Each time, the results are logged it creates a new result_seq_no., I only want to fetch the highest (newest) sequence for my projects into my Business Reporter report. Eks data in IFS Cloud:Project result_seq_no Values A 1 1 A 2 2 B 3 1 A 4 5 B 5 3  When fetching to Business Reporter, I want this:Project result_seq_no Values A 4 5 B 5 3  Is this possible, or do I need to set this in the Information Source?

Since upgrading to Windows 11, we have been experiencing problems re-opening reports/files that have been generated using IFS Business reporter excel add-in with APPS10. Has anyone else had this error and been able to resolve?This error is received when no other files are open etc   

Has anyone come across a way of using a wildcard (‘%’ OR ‘*’) in the report Parameters so the user can select all without having to type the individual values?  They may need to run the report with one value in the parameter or  with no filter so it gets everything pulling through. Any advice is appreciated. Cheers

Hi peoplesOur IT security team don’t want to set up a trusted location for Business Report Writer reports. Apart from using Business Report Execution Server is there another work around without having to create trusted locations? ThanksGT

Hi,We are upgrading to IFS Cloud 23R2 and have an issue with Business Reporter reports that were written in IFS Apps 10.We have tested in the BR client versions 23.2.0, 23.2.1 and 23.2.2 – the issue is present in all of them.Our report developers have used multiple sheets and use many formulas referring to data on other sheets like this example:In the Design view you can see the reference to a sheet within the workbook. When the report is run you can see the sheet names have been stripped out so excel is now referring to cells on the current sheet:  We need this resolving ASAP as our go live approaches.We have raised a ticket but nothing has been done yet. ThanksPaul

I am using a user who as all the necessary grants.- BA_SUPER_USER- BA_ENDUSER- BA_DESIGNER-  BA_REPORT_ADMINIs there anything that needs to be refreshed or any additional steps after installation to fix this issue? Tool version: 24.2.1.0Error -  Thank you!Sneha 

Hi,There is a difference in how the BR report is executed when the parameter value in entered manually and selected from LOV. Selecting from LOVTyping manually This happens for both ‘Year’ and ‘Month’. They are of number type. But this is how the queries are formed.using to_char() or to_number() in advanced filter criteria didn’t work. Converting the field in the IAL using to_char() also didn’t work.Is there any other way to resolve this? Best Regards,Nisansala

How do you implement 2 data sources (views) into the lobby data source designer. I want the following code to return the count in the data source.select distinct(sp.catalog_no)from lora1app.sales_part sp, lora1app.sales_price_part_join splp where splp.catalog_no = sp.catalog_no and splp.SALES_PRICE_TYPE_DB = 'SALES PRICES'and sp.activeind_db = 'Y' and (splp.part_valid_to_date >=  (sysdate) or splp.part_valid_to_date is null)and splp.valid_to_date >=  (sysdate)       --currently I have gone about it the following way seeing that the data source cannot handle two views:select distinct SALES_PART.Catalog_NO from SALES_PART  where SALES_PART.activeind_db = 'Y' and SALES_PART.Catalog_NO  in (select catalog_no from  sales_price_part_join where  sales_price_part_join.catalog_no = SALES_PART.CATALOG_NO AND  sales_price_part_join.SALES_PRICE_TYPE_DB = 'SALES PRICES' and (sales_price_part_join.part_valid_to_date >= sysdate or sales_price_part_join.part_valid_to_date is null) and sales_p

Hi, We have come across an issue where if we ‘order’ the business reporter report in Excel it errors as it cant find/run the macro.  But if we ‘load’ report, it loads up with the box at the top to enable macros. We click enable, then ‘run’ and the report works fine.  We have always had issues with these reports running out of the IFS application, which is why we use IFS Business Reporter instead. Are you able to assist with this query please? Our company does have a policy where they don’t want users to use macros, but I’m not sure of another way around it so I’m looking for any options. thank you for your time!

Hi,According to the latest IFS GPL and 24R2 sales part list, there are only two Power BI-related sales parts available:Advanced Analytics - Self Managed Analysis Models - Self ManagedI would appreciate more information about the latest sales parts related to IFS Analysis Models (24R2). Could you please provide answers to the following questions?What sales part(s) are needed to use IFS Analysis Models - Power BI with a self-hosted BI infrastructure setup? What sales part(s) are required for using IFS Analysis Models - Power BI (data lake Gen2) and IFS Advanced Analytics? Is it possible to purchase Advanced Analytics - Self Managed without purchasing Analysis Models - Self Managed? Does this mean that iFrame integration is always available and not dependent on any sales part? Can we assume that IFS Analysis Models – Tabular is no longer available for purchase?Thank you.

Hi,when using a standard dimension/fact item as a report parameter, relevant context substitution variables will be visible to choose as the default value.However, when a QIS is created based on an IAL, this is not possible. Here, the DIM_COMPANY dimensions was connected to the QIS from custom dimension connections oage.  Is this a framework limitation? Is there any setting or workaround to achieve this behavior? Best Regards,Nisansala
