Bonjour à tous,Pour ceux d'entre vous qui fonctionnent encore sur IFS V10, comment avez-vous procédé pour générer des factures au format UBL ou dans un format intermédiaire XML afin de répondre aux exigences de la facturation électronique à compter du 1er septembre ?Avez-vous mis en place une solution spécifique, un développement complémentaire ou un outil tiers ?Merci par avance pour vos retours d'expérience.

Hi,I'm setting up MCPR connections for a few projects, but I get an error message.Error message: The report code RC99 is not connected to the employee activity. You can see example in the picture. I have also tried to do the same connection (to the same project) for company 1167, and I get the same error message but with report code RC02 (which is to be used in that case). This has worked fine before and I cannot find the root cause. Customer Project ID=100411.Another user has also tried and he gets the same results. I have checked:Report codes are valid in both employee and customer company.Report code is set on activity in both employee and customer company projects.Activities are released.Company details.Tried only adjusting activities start dates to September 1st, makes no difference in error message.Contacted our IFS support partner that thinks this is a bug. They cannot access DB.Kind regards,Sophia

Hello IFS Community,I’m wondering whether a single Purchase Requisition (PR) can be distributed across multiple projects and/or project activities.Scenario: We need to purchase a common item (e.g., steel plates, pipes, cables, consumables, etc.) that will be used by several projects. From a procurement perspective, we prefer to create a single PR and purchase order to leverage volume and easy traceability, but we need the cost and commitments to be reflected against multiple projects.Questions:Can one PR line be allocated to multiple projects or project activities? Is there a standard functionality to distribute the cost and commitment among several projects (e.g., by percentage, quantity, or value)? Would the Project Cost Commitment be created correctly for each project? What is considered the best practice in IFS Cloud? One PR with cost distribution? Multiple PR lines, each assigned to a different project/activity? Another approach? We are using IFS Cloud and would appreciate feedb

Hello everyone,I am looking for guidance on activity-level security in IFS Cloud Project Management.My scenario is:Project A Subproject A Activity 10 Activity 20 Activity 30 I want User A to have access to Activity 10 only, while not being able to view or access Activities 20 and 30 within the same subproject.Any insights, examples, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Hello Community,I am currently working on the setup of cost and revenue elements in IFS and I would like to clarify the best practice between two possible approaches: Marking the "Account" dimension as basCost/Revenue Element In this case, the general ledger account itself is used directly as a cost or revenue element   Creating a dedicated Analytical Segment for Cost/Revenue Elemen My question is : From your experience, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach in IFS?Any guidance or lessons learned from your implementations would be highly appreciated.Thank you!

Hello all,We are using Project Deliverables integrated with Project MRP (PMRP) for planning manufactured and purchased parts.The deliverable structure contains multiple levels of manufactured and purchased components.Example:Final manufactured part (top-level deliverable item) Intermediate manufactured part 1 Purchased component 1 Intermediate manufactured part 2 Purchased component 2 ScenarioThe Project Deliverable is initially scheduled. PMRP is executed. PMRP creates supply proposals: Shop Order Requests Purchase Requisition Requests The customer approves the planning. Supply proposals are converted into: Shop Orders (SOs) Purchase Orders (POs) At a later stage, the customer requests a change to the project schedule.Issue ObservedThe project activity date is modified. The activity is linked to the entire Project Deliverable structure. We run Calculate Schedule on the Project Deliverable. The required date of the top-level part is updated correctly. We run PMRP again.Howeve

hi IFS experts, My retention setup on the Sales Contract is like this. *Requirement from the customer is- Retention is 10% from each item with a maximum of 5% of the final contract sum (USD 50,540.63)I am on the last AFP where I want to release the final retention. All the other claims have been done. How do i do this? I tried to enable this and then enter an amount but the system is not letting me do that. Please help me process this.  Thanks,Ashani 

Hello everyone!We are implementing email notifications and willing to have the precise Node (object, document, line...) hyperlink in the body of the email notification.Please advise if possible and how.We are using IFS APP 10 (UPD17).Manyu Thanks in advance

My problem is similar to this one:Except that it happens when I try to created an Activity in the Project Navigator. If I try the steps described in the link above, it is still not working. I also tried these steps below - very similar - without success: I ran that query in Oracle SQL Developer to find the incorrect indexes and I have 3.select index_name,index_type,status,domidx_status,domidx_opstatus from user_indexes where index_type like '%DOMAIN%' and (domidx_status <> 'VALID' or domidx_opstatus <> 'VALID'); Following the two procedures above on all three incorrect indexes solved nothing. In the Search Domain page of an incorrect index, trying to drop that index displays that error:internal error code, arguments: [12806], [kkdcdtc: missing object], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []Failed executing statement (ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [12806], [kkdcdtc: missing object], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []) After that, I am able to complete the st

 Hi all,My report LEFT JOINs proj_budget_control_rules to project, so projects with no budget rule at all still appear with combination_id null, and Get_Control_Total/Get_Consumed return 0 for them — same as a project with an actual $0 budget.Is there a clean way to tell "no budget rule exists" apart from "budget rule exists with $0 consumed"? E.g. filtering on NULL combination_id before calling the API, or a status field on proj_budget_control_rules I should be checking instead. I’ve also tried adding funds and it just wont update haha.Thanks!

Hello, I have a situation that has me baffled.  If I create a project invoice from an invoice plan, a value shows up in the Preliminary Revenue column.  But, if I create one from an AFP, the value does NOT show in the Preliminary Revenue column.  Are the AFP posting types still in play in this scenario?  Any help is appreciated.Thank you Patrick

Hi,I have come across the following scenario in IFS project.1.Customer A has separate pay address and a default visit address - Created two different address in Customer basic data (one for pay and one for visit)2.Apart from those two addresses, there can be situations when there is  a third party  contractor, who  will be considered as the billing contact for the project.What would be the ideal way to set up an additional billing contact in addition to the main customer for the project? 

Hello everyone,I’ve noticed that the Planned Cost field in the Margin section is editable but does not seem to be directly linked to the cost elements added in the Monitoring section. Is this the expected system behavior? Is there a way to configure or automate synchronization so that changes made in Monitoring are reflected in Margin?Looking forward to your insights and suggestions!Best regards,

When the above error appears validate your dates in ,-Code part values-Project start date and approved date-Financial Project start date

Hello,Can someone explain me the functionality in AFP. In AFP for an example if I have multiple applications created (1,2,3,etc.) why is it always need to certify the value in application 1 before proceeding the certification in application 2. And what is the reason for considering the cumulative value of the application above applications if we try to certify an individual application separately.Is there a workaround for allowing single applications to be billed separately without taking the cumulative effect.Thank you!

Hi all,Here’s how you can download a CSV file by using a Command in IFS Cloud.We can easily achieve this by doing few adjustments in .client, .projection, .plsvc and .plsql files.(change in the .plsql file can be done in the .plsvc file too) It’ll look like thisAdd the command into the page that you want and click on it.It’ll get downloaded to your default download folder  Here’s that downloaded CSV file Steps to achieve the above functionality .PLSQL File changeHere you’ll add a method.Basically you have to create a CLOB file > convert it to a BLOB file > return it.PROCEDURE Convert_to_Csv( csv_data_blob_ OUT BLOB)IS csv_clob_ CLOB;BEGIN csv_clob_ := 'Header 1' || ',' || 'Header 2' || ',' || 'Header 3' || ',' || 'Header 4'|| CHR(10); FOR rec_ IN 1..20 LOOP csv_clob_ := csv_clob_ || 'THRULK'||rec_ || ',' || 'THRULK'||rec_ || ',' || 'THRULK'||rec_ || ',' || 'THRULK'||rec_ || CHR(10); END LOOP; csv_data_blob_ := Utility_sys.Clob_To_Blob(cs

If we have set a Specific Internal Price for a Resource/Project is there any screen that shows a Planned Cost where this is the rate used for calculation or some setting we have missed?It looks from the field description that the Planned Cost on Project Resource Planning uses Resource Group cost rather than Specific Internal... Thanks.Linda

We have asked this question a few times through IFS cases but only get an explination of what the system is doing and not why it is doing it. Most users are not even aware there is something called “Server Time” and they are also not generally aware of which time zone our server sits in. I assume this is a regular occurance amongst IFS users. It seems strange then for the system to prompt users to manually convert their local time to server time so they can enter it when creating a rental event. Stranger still is that as soon as the user saves the rental event the system displays the local time (Site time) as the rental event time.  It seems more sensible for users to only operate in local time as they do for all other areas of the system. Example: entering time card details or registering arrivals. If a user could simply enter the rental event time as their local site tme then have the system convert that in the background to server time when and where needed then no manual out of sys

Hi, We have assigned a Person to a Project Resource Group. When the person is promoted, we need to assign them to a new Resource Group while maintaining the effective date range. For example, the employee was assigned to Project Engineer Grade 2 until 5 June 2026 and to Project Engineer Grade 3 from 6 June 2026 onward.Could you please advise where this date-based information can be captured in IFS cloud? 

Hi Everyone, When employees register their time, supervisors are responsible for authorizing the reported time, followed by Project Managers who approve the project transactions.Currently, supervisors must manually disable the 'Approve Project Time Reporting' button when authorizing time reporting.Is there a way to automate this process so that the button is automatically disabled when the supervisor authorizes the time reporting?Path: Project Management > Reporting > Time Registration Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Best Regards,Navoda Nuwangi
