For a lot controlled item with expiry configured how do you create a rule for allocating by FEFO ? 

In IFS Cloud 22R2 SU3 (and previous versions), there is an issue in the Sales Configurator.On Page Sales Rule for Part, when creating a new Action, e.g. of type ‘Attach Optional’, selecting Value Type ‘Order Info’ will give you the wrong List of Value (LOV) for column Value. Hence it is not possible to select any of the designated values, which should be:- Customer No- Delivery Country for the Customer- Latest Customer Value- Latest Order Value- Sales Group- Sales Part No- Sales Quantity- Sales Unit of Measure- User ID- Supply SiteIt seems like the LOV from Conditions is used instead.Please advise if there is any correction available for this issue.

Hi All, In Cloud 25R2 (we have also checked 24R1) we have raised a Protype Shop Order and on defining a Tentative “Manufacturing” Structure and Routing the system appears to be only pulling through the routing, the structure is left blank. We are putting this down to a bug, but thought i would see if others have experienced this issue. *Please note: this is a Structure Type = Manufacturing, which has a “Tentative” alternate.Its normal behavior for the standard manufacturing structure in tentative to not pull through to a standard manufacturing shop order, but it was my understanding that a “Prototype” Shop Order overrides this and is able to utilise a tentative manufactured structure. It’s like the system is only half applying the logic as it pulls through the “Tentative” manufacturing routing onto the shop order. Thanks in advanceKev

Hello,I would like to confirm whether there is no automated logic behind the Proposed Location field on a manually created Production Schedule line.Is that correct?I am aware that, during automatic creation of Production Schedule lines, the system does assign a Proposed Location — most likely using the same logic applied to Shop Orders, namely: The production line’s outbound location, if the shop order is connected to a production line The outbound location of the last operation’s work center The inventory part’s default location I kindly ask for confirmation of the above, or clarification if my understanding is incorrect.Thank you!

Hi everyone,I’m testing the new Informational Characteristics in 25R1. According to the documentation, they should be usable for calculating values in other elements.However, they don’t show up as selectable fields in the configuration formula.I’ve linked the Informational Characteristics to the Configuration Family as required, but they still don’t appear in the formula setup.Is this expected behavior, or could it be a bug?

Hi All,I am trying to unreserve items that are reserved to a Customer Order Line which is supplied by DOP. The reservation was made by performing DOP Netting in the DOP Header connected to the customer order line. According to the documentation, un-reserving can be done by following steps given below.From the Inventory Sub Tab of the Supply Tab in DOP Order, right click the reserved stock line and choose the Manual Unreserve option. It takes you to Manual Netting from Inventory window. From there Qty Res value can be reduced to unreserve Reserved Quantities.  However, I am getting the error Qty Reserved Can’t be Less Than Qty Delivered.  This is due to Reserved Qty being delivered to Parent Order Is there any work around that I can use to unreserve these reserved items while the DOP Header/Order is still open? 

Dear Friends,Hi,That would be great to help us with attachment file.This issue interrupt our business process and it is an urgent case. Best Regards,Adina 

Hello everyone,We are facing recurring workflow errors in IFS Cloud when users perform updates from the Aurena Native Maintenance Mobile App.ContextWe have a workflow triggered on ActiveWorkOrder when a specific text field (e.g. Directive) is updated.Everything works fine when the update is done from Aurena Web (UAT).However, when the same action is performed from the Mobile App, the transaction fails and appears as “Failed Mobile Transaction” in the Mobility Queue.Observations The workflow executes correctly from the web UI. The workflow fails only from the Mobile App, even for simple actions like updating a text field or adding a document. RowKey is enabled on the entity (ActiveWorkOrder). It seems the mobile event payload is incomplete (some optional fields are missing), which may cause the workflow or trigger to crash. Questions Does the Aurena Native Mobile App send partial payloads when updating an ActiveWorkOrder (only modified fields)? Is it expected that optional field

In the Project Navigator, when a line is added in the Demand tab, two lines are automatically created in the Activity -> Cost tab with line IDs L01 and S01.Could anyone please help explain:From where these two cost lines are generated? Which configuration, rule, or process is responsible for creating both L01 and S01? Is this behavior standard in IFS Project or triggered by any specific setup?Your guidance on where to check or how to control this behavior would be highly appreciated.Thank you.

Hello, I am facing a blocking issue when using the projection:CreateCopyProjectHandling.svc / CreateCopyProjectVirtual_DoCreate The POST request executes correctly, but the backend returns this error: DATABASE_ERROR ORA-20105: FndEventAction.EVENT_ACTION_ERROR: The Event Action "Workflow" on "C_ACTIVITY" has failed. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.FND_EVENT_ACTION_API" ... ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.EVENT_SYS" ... ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.C_ACTIVITY_EVI", line 11 What I observed I have an Event Action attached to Activity / C_ACTIVITY which triggers a BPMN workflow. The workflow never starts: no instance appears, the watcher shows no activity. I removed all conditions and all OLD/NEW attributes from the Event Action → error still occurs. I even tested with only Workflow ID enabled, same result. Therefore it is not related to the BPMN process itself. AnalysisI inspected the trigger C_ACTIVITY_EVI: msg_ := Message_SYS.Con

Hi, When you have a Customer Order Line and Sourcing DOP, you get Purchase Req for componets related to this demand if you have “Allow MRP Explosion for DOP Parts” set to true (and that Customer order Line is set to “Released for Mtrl Planning”).Purchase of LLIT can be done, so far so good.But when the Customer Order is released and the DOP Header is created, the demand for purchase parts is gone. This cause issues in purchasing and MRP Action Proposal/ Inventory Part Availability Exeptions shows that you have no demend. Then you create the DOP Structure, and the demand is back again.Is there some parameter I miss, as DOP Header is not seen as a demend or is it a way to automaticully create DOP Structure when the DOP Header is created?From an user perspective it’s easy to miss the step to create DOP Structure as soon as Customer Order is released and usualy this is done in two different departments in the organisation which complicate this even more and big risk for error in supply.I d

Anybody knows if there is a limitation in how many operations the can be connected to an opeartaion block?I get this error when connect 68 operations (67 works fine). Second question, You can start all operations in one block by Start Production, if a second labor shall support, you cannot join the production for all operations, join operation is disabled if select more that n record, any setting to allow join all operations in a block?  

What is the criteria to get load from DOP Order to be visible in visulized in 24R2. I have same site, part no, routing and in one DOP I get load and in unother I don’t get load. Both DOP Headers are ‘Unreleased’   

Will someone please explain to me the purpose of an Inventory Part Revision? Note: We do not use the engineering part functionality.

What am I missing here? For some reason I cannot grant Part catalog right to any Permission Set. IFS version is IFS 10 Update 25. I can see Part Catalog here in Database Objects  But it’s not here (is it supposed to be here under the Master Part to be available for grant). One user showed that he had Part Catalog under Master Part, but I cannot remember the submenu aymore, and it might have been dragged from other menu.

In shop order workbench what does it mean when 'Unregistered downtime' displays next to Manual filter by ?

Hi Community,Looks like “Shop Order By-Product” supply is ignored by MRP when Shop Order comes from DOP (configured).MRP is creating a supply proposal for later demand even though projected qty is enough (scr below).By-Product line was added manually to the Shop Order, “Include in MRP Supply” field is checked.If the same Part is added manually to the non-DOP Shop Order, it is visible to the MRP, supply proposal is not created.Any suggestions or opinions? Looks like a bug.Regards, Lukasz

Hi everyone,We’re currently preparing our migration from IFS Apps 9 to IFS Cloud and are looking for insights from others who have made this step — especially around the transition from Project Delivery to Project Deliverables.As most of you know, Apps 9 supports only Project Delivery Apps 10 includes both Delivery and Deliverables IFS Cloud supports only Deliverables There’s no direct migration path between Delivery and Deliverables — except by moving through Apps 10 and phasing out one while introducing the other.We would really appreciate hearing about your experiences: How did you approach the transition from Delivery to Deliverables? What lessons did you learn (in terms of setup, data migration, and ongoing operations)? Did you identify best practices or specific pitfalls to avoid? Our current line of thinking:Based on our internal and project migration concept, we believe a smooth migration is mostly about data readiness and timing, not about custom scripts. Key principle

The access to expense sheets is controlled by “Position – Access Setup” in IFS. This way, a project manager will be able or not to visualize the expense sheets connected to his/her project depending on the position of the employees. Customer would like that a project manager could have access to all the expense sheets that belonged to his/her own project. The only way knows to achieve this target is enabling all the project managers the access to all the positions. But, if define this way, all the project managers could be able to visualize every expense sheet of any employee in any project, even if they had not access to the project. Customer have tried to define a new “access attribute” adding as a column name a custom field, but it is not included in the value list. Also have tried to define as the “old value” in the “access attribute” a select sentence, but it is considered as an invalid value when try to save it.cannot use an event either because all want is to visualize, not to m

The problem arises when engineering part revisions need to be controlled across multiple sites, alongside Inventory Part Revisions….. Example revisions below. The flow involves several locations, where one site supplies products to another. The Planning Network MRP triggers the generation of a Distribution Order to facilitate the shipment of products between sites. The receiving site treats the incoming manufactured items as purchased raw materials. Therefore, upon release of MRP Planned Distribution Orders, a corresponding PO is created for the receiving site and customer order created at the sending site. A PO release from the receiving site, intended to receive today (11/3) will be created with Revision 3, Engineering Rev C referenced. However, the Customer Order does not reflect any requirement for revision control. The manufacturing site has quantity on hand from prior production of Revision 2, Engineering Rev B and will ship this inventory against the Customer Order. When attempt

Hello, My client uses both DOP and MRP for his manufacturing.Configured parts are managed with DOP. Not configured manufactured parts & purchased parts are handled by MRP. Example :TOP PART - Configured - DOP→ COMPONENT1 - Purchased - MRP→ SUBPART - Manufactured/Not configured - MRP     → COMPONENT2 - Purchased - MRP With this, DOP will create a Shop order for TOP PART at DOP Release, and MRP will handle the creation of Purchase requisitions / Shop order requisitions should there be shortages. However, we discovered that when we create a DOP structure (DOP header in  status “Unreleased”), and then run the MRP at this moment, purchase requisitions will be created for shortages.This is dangerous because the structure of an unreleased DOP header can still evolve before being released is case of customizations of a product for example.→ Is there a way to make unreleased Dop orders not visible by the MRP ?Thank you,PL

Hi All, In IFS Apps10 an error occurs when trying to modify Shop Floor Clockings of an operation because the resource assigned to the work center does not exist. IFS displays an error message stating that Resource PW21 does not exist for Work Center PW33. This is correct.However, the clocking was actually performed on Work Center PW21 and Resource PW21.When the error is debugged, it is identified that if the Clocking which is trying to modify starts on 9.00am 01/11/2025 and ends at 12.00pm 12/11/2025, the backend validation checks all clocking entries across the entire site within that time range. If any time is reported for a different Work Center than the one specified in the Shop Order Operation, for any shop order in the site, the system raises an error. Interestingly, the Workbench functionality in IFS allows changing the Work Center as well, which seems to contradict this validation behavior.Has anyone encountered this issue before or found a suitable workaround for it?
