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

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

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,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

Hello,I'm trying to enable incremental refresh for FACT_GL_TRANSACTION, but I need to complete the initial refresh first. The dataset is quite large—refreshing accounting year (a full refresh using a criteria) 2024 alone takes around 15 hours. However, I'm unable to refresh the entire dataset. Once 2024 is fully refreshed the entity info says its no FRESH, attempting to refresh 2023 or any other year with entity criteria does not work. Any idea why?

Hi,I’m trying to save and publish a report to the IFS Cloud environment, but getting the below error. Kindly help me to resolve this. Error when saving the report in ifs cloudRegards,Deepal.

Afternoon,We are in the midst of upgrading to IFS Cloud 23R2 from Apps 10, and in parallel the business are reviewing our BI strategy. Currently we use IFS Lobbies, Quick Reports and Business Reporter within IFS, and externally use tools such as PowerBI and Qlik. All our reporting is based on the production IFS Oracle database through ODBC connections. We plan on using PowerBI as the primary tool for management reporting, whilst continuing to use Quick reports and Lobbies for operational reporting within IFS.We are therefore considering options for data warehouse solutions such as Microsoft Fabric and PowerBI. We are looking for information on what other IFS customer's are using for their BI strategy and data warehousing solution, along with some pros and cons. Thanks in advance
