Our company would like to take advantage of printing media items on the service reports using Report Designer. Our solution is hosted and part of the challenge has proven to be obtaining access to the RDF files so that they can be changed. This is standard functionality on some of the other reports such as order confirmation but not the service reports. Ideally, this would become standard functionality so it is not our responsibility to maintain this as upgrades come. Has anyone had any success modifying the RDF files in a hosted environment. It seems to have stumped support based on the feedback I have received.

Hi, I am trying to extract the weeknumber from a date. But both my SQL statements return the wrong weeknumber. Here is my first statement: SELECT to_char(to_date(cf$_co_date_order, 'dd-mm-yyyy'), 'ww') FROM customer_order_cfv Statement returns: 22-3-2021 0:00 12 23-3-2021 0:00 12 24-3-2021 0:00 12 24-3-2021 0:00 12 25-3-2021 0:00 12 26-3-2021 0:00 13 26-3-2021 0:00 13 26-3-2021 0:00 13 26-3-2021 0:00 13 My second statement: SELECT to_char(to_date(cf$_co_date_order, 'dd-mm-yyyy'), 'iw') FROM customer_order_cfv Statement returns: 22-3-2021 0:00 12 23-3-2021 0:00 12 24-3-2021 0:00 13 24-3-2021 0:00 13 25-3-2021 0:00 13 26-3-2021 0:00 13 26-3-2021 0:00 13 26-3-2021 0:00 13 26-3-2021 0:00 13 So both are wrong. I expect every date to return weeknumber 12, because that is the correct weeknumber. Does someone know how to achieve this?

Hi, I created a Custom Field in the LU IncomingInvoice which returns the Coordinator Name based on the PO Reference. But there could be multiple PO References separated with a semicolon. When that is the case IFS returns no value. Is it possible to solve this issue, so that IFS returns multiple values when there are multiple PO References. Please see the screenshots below. Arguments: v.company, v.po_ref_number Select Statement: SELECT t.cf$_coordinator_name FROM Purchase_Order_cfv t WHERE t.company = :COMPANY AND t.order_no =:PO_REF_NUMBER Kind regards, Simon

Hi, I have a question how to export Business Reporter from Excel To *.ins field? Thanks.

Has anyone attempted to join the gen_led_voucher_row to the actual invoice_items where the Sales Parts reside ? The requirement is to be able to view which GL row has been created by which invoice item row. I can’t find a direct link so it seems we have to go via inv_accounting_row by invoice_id and then to find the rows in invoice_item but then we fail to get a 1-to-1

I am designing my own Excel Plugin for a report output. I have it running except I need to run a case sql that will set a field to a certain number when a customer is printed. Has anyone been able to pass a report parameter to a sql?

If I take our order backlog as of tonight at midnight, subtract from that our backlog as of this morning at midnight, then add today's revenue, I will get today's net bookings. Σ Bookings = Δ Backlog + Revenue This calculation method accurately handles both order line cancellations and intentional shipping differences. Does anyone else here do this? What are you using to get a daily snapshot of your backlog? How are you handling different time zones? Is your solution easy to maintain/change? Is it durable? Is it simple and trustworthy?

We have a few reports that have recently been crashing displaying OLE error. After going through each Server Set Id. After recreating the Server Set within a new report to test it. I found that if I had 12 or less Measure Item columns no error was received and data was output. Out of the 19 DIM_REPORTING_ENTITY.CODE columns that we had it doesn’t matter which 12 DIM_REPORTING_ENTITY.CODE items used, so long as only 12 columns were used then no error, if 13 or more then report crashes with OLE error. Has anybody come across this, if so, what is the cause? Thanking you.

Hi, I am trying to create a quick report. I want to show the total amount of a purchase order including possible charges on that order, preferably in one column.

I like to design a solution of IFS Analysis Model and I have some questions: What is better: to have SQL Server On-Premise or in MS Azure? What do you need into account when MS SQL Server is in Azure? Have we got a list of which PowerBI example dashboards are included in IFS Analysis Model? Have we got a description of the facts and dimensions included in each OLAP cube?

Hi, I have an issue with Business Reporter and data. I created a report which shows the Purchase Order Lines per week. But I only want to show the data from Purchase Orders with status not Planned or Cancelled. I tried to show only the data from Purchase Orders which were autorized, but I was not able to do so because that data is not present in the Information Source. Is there any way to do this? The Information Source which I use is ‘Purchase Order Lines’. We are on APPS10 update 7. Kind regards, Simon

Had a user run the customer Order cleanup but selected a little too much and from too recent. I wanted to get verification that there wasn’t an easy Undo button for this. Found out this job completed without errors so other than a database restore nothing can undo.

IFSAPPS 9. We have been using a Business Analytics model to run our sales forecast. This was using Business Opportunities as the Information Source. One of the filter criteria was DIM_OPP_PROBABILITY.CODE BETWEEN 50 and 100. This basically captured any high probability Business Opportunities. After we installed UP17 our Business Analytics model stopped working. I believe the issue was that prior to UP17, the field on the Information source was the value in the PROBABILITY_DB field and it has now changed to be just the PROBABILITY field. The issue is that the PROBABILITY field is suffixed by a % sign, so when we use this field in the filter I receive an ‘Invalid Number’ error message. However I have not been able to use SQL in the Filter Criteria to either TRIM or REPLACE the % value out. Is there a way to point the Information Source back to the PROBABILITY_DB field?
