How can we connect the employee absence with the resource analysis

There is a requirement of showing the capacity drop in the resource analysis window, when an employee is on leave. As shown in the screenshot, when the employee working full 8-hour days, the capacity line appears flat. When employee work partial hours (for example, only 5 hours), the capacity line drops accordingly, reflecting the reduced hours. Similarly, if an employee apply absence on any working day, the capacity should drop to zero (0) hours. How can we build this connection between employee absence and capacity in resource analysis in IFS cloud application? Appreciate your support. Thank you!

Restrict Project Transactions to Time Reporting Only

I know it seems counter-intuitive but does anyone know of a way to restrict project activity to Time Reporting only - ie disallow raising POs, SO etc?   I know there is the allow/disallow on Manual Connections but that only works when trying to connect an object created outside of the project.  It doesn’t stop objects created within the project from being created. I’m wondering if going down the Indirect Jobs route might be a better option?  Any thoughts/suggestions gratefully received.  ThanksLinda

Project budget control for manpower

Hi All, I want to know if there is a way to control the project budget for man power. When there are new recruitments to be made on behalf of the project through Recruitment Requisitions is there a possible control for this in the standard functionality. Thank you.Chandima.

Creation of Shipment plan for part with Condition Code enabled

Create Shipment plan for part with Condition Code enabled. The Condition Code setting is very important for structure items that will be processed in the subsequent MRO process.The IFS Shipment as a business object takes this part property into account, so the only missing step is this:IFS Project Deliverables Item --> IFS Shipment Plan --> IFS Shipment Line Steps to Reproduce:1) Created a Product Structure of having a Manufacturing part (SN-MP) & Purchase Part (SN-PP) and make it buildable. And enabled the SN-PP for condition code. 2) Created a Project in Project Definition (SN-MODELA) and included Sub Project (SN-A) and Activity (SN-A1) and approved the Project. 3) Navigated to Project Deliverables Definition and created a new Project Deliverables (SN-MODEL-PDD)4) Navigate to Project Deliverables Design and include Component (SN-MP) and under defaults include the Activity. 5) In Project Deliverables Design under components add SN-PP6) Next navigate to Shipment in left side

Configuration from Customer Order in Project Deliverables

A Customer Order line can be supplied via project deliverables. In this case the supply code is “project deliverables”. Unfortunately, there is no automatism that automatically creates the project deliverables including structure, similar to what happens in the DOP.The idea is that, for example, the project deliverables is created using a button, linked to the activity of the customer order line and the inventory part of the sales part, including its product structure, is exploded in the project deliverables.If the sales part in the customer order is a configured part, the configuration in the customer order should be used in the deliverable and the configuration bom should be exploded. In IFS Standard the user has to configure twice… in customer order and afterwards in project deliverables as well.

Sales Contract address for Tax defintion - expand India Localization

Sales Contract requires Customer Delivery Delivery address for Tax defintion - suggest  support  for countries/Tax beyond  India Localization.Customers in ECI using Sales Contracts and Project Invoicing have a need to define the Taxing delivery address by contract. This is being reviewed as a CRIM by a customer in the US. On review with Global presales and looking at the roadmap I noticed this function fundamentally exists for India Tax Localization. Several of us have reviewed this along side the CRIM specification - included Project R&S and they are very similar. The requirement is not limited to Sales Contracts Tax reqs in India  but applicable to Sales Tax , GST and VAT tax based regimes and countries.The concentp means applying an address details tab on the contract that calls deleivery address and tax rules from customer master - so we can define the taxing rule on that contract for that address. The Tax rules would be checked at Contract creation, activation, revision and in

How to display multiple projects in the Resource Analysis view

I'm on APP10. In the Resource Analysis view,  the bars in the stacked bar chart are divided into 2 parts: the chosen project and everything else combined. So, if you select ≥3 projects, you won't be able to distinguish all projects by colour coding.Is it possible to show the resource allocation of all projects associated with a resource group in APP10? How about Cloud?

Property Code NOAPRCON Not working correctly for some companies?

Hi Community In all of our companies, the following property under the company details is null.  That means, when the multi company employee confirms the time, the Project Manager need not approve for cost accounting right? But only for 2 companies it works as expected. For the rest, the PM needs to approve. How come the behavior is different for 2 companies only? Is there another setting that I am missing here? This is 24.1.9Thanks,Asela

(P)MRP & Project Inventory

About a year ago we switched to using Project Inventory vs Standard and PMRP per Project PNG. While this fixed some challenges we were having it’s caused some new ones and wondering if there is a middle ground. We don’t want to get rid of the use of project inventory and the kind of soft reservation that it gives you. With PMRP it’s generating Purchase Reqs for each individual activity and not really being able to aggregate the demand together from all sources and effectively use planning method A or G. This causes individual lines on the PO which the vendors are not fond of and due to industry regulations require it to be treaded as separate lots with corresponding testing and paperwork.Ideally I think we want all demand to be funneled through MRP and when the inventory comes in and has been inspected, to have MTRs generated to move it to project inventory. Even better would be to automatically move it to project inventory.We are currently on Apps10 Update 22

Post-transaction survey for users in IFS?

Hi IFS! Is there a way for IFS users to provide feedback within IFS after successfully completing something? My product team is configuring IFS to enable our end users to complete their work in a better process than before. We would like to capture their feedback on completing their work in IFS right after they successfully complete a something, so that we can get their feedback while it’s fresh in their minds, and can configure IFS to better meet their needs. I am envisioning some kind of side panel, small window, or modal that prompts users to give a brief rating or description of their experience completing their work. Please see below examples to illustrate what I mean. Does anything like this exist today in IFS? Is there anything we can leverage that can meet our need?   Thank you! Best,Michelle Young

IFS Cloud -25R1 - Project Employee Allocations, Resource Shift Pattern Mapping replacements

Hello to all,we are going to update from 23R2 SU17 to 25R1. Now we have a fresh 25R1 installation, and we are testing it on our data. We know resource assignment has been made more flexible, apart from the person resource type, the other resource types are supported in 25R1 and can be assigned to a project activity.To date, our users have utilized the Project Employee Allocations screen to manage these allocations. Now we can see that the Project Employee Allocation screen is discontinued. The same is true with the Resource Shift Pattern Mapping page.Are there any replacements for these two screens in 25R1?Thank you very muchBest regardsAntonin

Cannot re-connect a Project to a Sales Contract (which is already connected to a 'Cancelled' Sales Contract)

Hello Folks,I have run in to an issue (in IFS Cloud 23R1) with connecting a Project to a Sales Contract, where system returns an error indicating that this Project is already connected to a different Sales Contract. Which is true as I have already connected this Project to a Sales Contract that is sitting in ‘Cancelled’ status.Moreover, I have the “PUB(Project Unique Billing Toggle)” turned ON in the Project Setup Parameters for this Project.​​​I tried to remove the Project connection from the ‘Cancelled’ sales contract but system throws in an error preventing me from doing that.  Thereafter I toggled off the “PUB(Project Unique Billing Toggle)” since ideally that should take out any restrictions on one Project can go on one sales contract validation.  Then I created a brand new Sales Contract (3rd one, 1st once is already “Cancelled”, 2nd one “Proj. connection failed” with an error as seen on first screenshot) since I thought 2nd Sales Contract was created while I had the “PUB(Project

I’ve trying to get these values by using the datasources that are available, but can’t seem to get the desired result.Does anyone has experience with this, and point me in the right direction? (I’m using product version 22.1.1)

How to bring labour hours into the forecast

Hi folks, I have a customer requirement to bring the labour hours in to the monthly review forecast, as they evaluate the labour requirements in hours.  What is the easiest/best way to achieve this requirement ? The option I was thinking of was to use a combination of resource planning + resource forecasting functionality. Plan resources against each of the project activities and enter the planned hours.  Employees report time using these activities.  Create a resource forecast on a monthly basis that would generate the ETC hours and EAC hours. (this also shows the dollar values corresponding to the ETC hours/EAC hours) Create the monthly review forecast and in that, include the resource forecast created above. This would update EAC and ETC based on the resource hours as well. Just wondering if there is a simpler way to achieve this requirement. Thank you,Ash

SubContract Valuation item rate and Value adjusted

Hi.I have a doubt related to Valuations in SubContract (IFSCloud 24R1)I have an item with a Quantity, Item Rate, Value and Value Adjusted (the Calculation Method is Rate Only and the Valuation Method is Quantity) When I going to certificate I introduce the quantity, not the value in euros, and the system multiply this Quantity by the Item Rate. In the following screenshot I show the contract qty, contract item rate and Value field, but this Value field is the Value Adjusted of my subcontract, so the ‘new’ Item Rate should be equals: Value / Contract Qty.So, as you can see, if I enter 1 unit in Valuation Value field the Work Value field (Calculted by system) is bigger than the total value for this item. And this is so because the system multiply de qty I entered by the Contract Item Rate, and in this case, only with 1, unit the Work Value fiels exceeds the total for that item.I think this is an IFS error, but I’m sure. How can I do this?  Thanks in advance. Sergio

Multi Company Project Reporting No D voucher was created

Hi Team We have 2 MCPR transactions on which we are unable to transfer the cost to the customer company. When we create new transactions and transfer the cost on those projects everthing works fine.Only 2 transactions are stuck. We compared with other transactions which are working fine, everything looks fine with transactions in error. Still, it gives an error in the background job as “Notice the background job has ended with an Error “No transactions to create cost accounting for                    ORA-20110: PrelInvoicePosting.NOACCTRANS” There are corrections for these two transactions.I tried to replicate this using the steps in the below community post, and no luck.I raised this with IFS, and they have little help since they cannot replicate in the core environment.According to my gut feeling, this should be able to replicate somehow. Can someone help me figure out the correct path to recreate this? Thank you. Kind REgards,-Kavinda Jayaratne
