Insights (Business Reporter and Analysis Models, EOI)

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

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?

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

I am struggling to find what information source that would contain project resource forecasts. It does not show up in the Project Tabular Model (https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/24r1/). I also cannot seem to find a entry in the information sources. The only reference I can see in the data mart sources are PROJECT_FCST_CONN_RFC_MV and PROJECT_FCST_CONN_CCO_MV Is this something I would have to build with custom queries or am I missing something? Note, the application table I am referencing is PROJECT_RESOURCE_FCST_TAB, PROJECT_RESOURCE_FSCT_ITEM_TAB, PROJECT_RESOURCE_FSCT_ELEM_TAB I am just trying to find the appropriate data mart source that would contain data from the IFSAPP tables.

Hi,In Apps10, there was a possibility to add a custom menu to open a Business Reporter reports as below. When the action type ‘Report’ is selected, BR reports are also available to select. However, in IFS Cloud, when adding a command through page designer, BR reports are not listed under any of the report types. Is there any other way to fulfil the requirement of opening a BR report from IFS Cloud, via a button, link or by any other mean except through Order report?Best Regards,Nisansala

Hello community,When trying to navigate to source from GL Balance Drill Down, it is trying to navigate to below path. I have read other posts on the community saying that BR system parameters must be set up with URL etc. However the parameter is removed from the page. I have read BR system parameters on the online documentation and it says basically the parameter is moved to system parameters and must be entered there.https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/050_reporting/256_br_and_a/030_business_reporter/032_br_configuration/021_br_system_params/#url_navigation When I check the System Url parameter on the mentioned page the value is correct. Do you have any suggestion or alternative solution? The version is Cloud 24.1 Thanks
