Hello folks, I have a concern regarding the Contract Change Orders (CCO) functionality in IFS Cloud. In a CCO, when you add a line, I am unable to see the connected project information. Since the CCO is originating from the sales contract, I would imagine that the project/sub project/activity connected to the sales contract should be automatically fetched to the CCO line as well. Otherwise the user will always have to enter this information manually which is not a good user experience IMO. (Please see the attached screenshot). Why is this functionality built this way? Is there any particular reason why the project information is not automatically fetched to the CCO line or can this be improved ? Kind regards, Ashani

Hi, I am trying to create a Project Invoice in a different currency than the base currency of the Project. I defined the required Invoice currency in Specific Sales Price under my Project Pricing but when trying to create the transaction, I see only my project base currency. I read in IFS documentation that this parallel currency is possible, but I am unable to execute this. Could someone please assist if I am missing anything here. Thanks

Is anyone experiencing problems saving shortcuts in project time posting after the 24R2 update in cloud? Our user saves the shortcut, but it disappears the next day.

Hi When we terminate employment on IFS Cloud the resource still remains active in the resource groups on the resource structure. Only the resource capacity validity period is updated on the termination but the resource can still be allocated to projects. Yes the system gives a warning that the employee is terminated but its still available. Also the employee/resource is not removed from the existing project allocations. How can we get the termination to remove the resource or deactivate it?

The parameters Start date, End Date van Voucher Date in the Run Task ‘Transfer Project Cost Accounting transactions’ are derived from the previous accounting period.If I run the task today (28-7-2025) IFS sets the Voucher Date to the end date of the previous period, being 30-6-2025: Is it possible for IFS (Apps10) to default fill the Voucher Date with today's date?

Issue: Enabling Specific Invoice Numbering Sequence for Automatic Supplier Invoices generated through Subcontracting Self-Billing Invoices. Business Impact: Customers are currently blocked on this issue, since if they use self-billing on the subcontracting contract section, it has become a requirement for some customers to fetch specific invoice numbering sequence per supplier. Pre-requisites: Define a specific Invoice Type and an Invoice Series for Supplier: S003 in Supplier Invoice Types page in Company: P10 (Project Manufacturing Enterprises) in IFSCLOUD / 23R2 Core / REGIONAL TEST CMB environment. Invoice Series ID: S003 (Description: Automatic Supplier Invoice for Supplier S003) with Number Series added; Invoice Type: S003 (Description: Automatic Supplier Invoice for Supplier S003) connected to Invoice Series: S003 Go to the selected Supplier: S003 -> Go to Invoice tab/ General tab -> Select Company as P10 -> Add Default Invoice Type for Automatic Invoice as S003 Test Steps: Login

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!

In Project Deliverable flow, I’m trying to create Shipment Plan for Condition code enabled part. the System prompt an error saying, “It is not allow to create Shipment Plans for parts with condition code enabled.” It seems the flow is intentionally prevented. If so, appreciate a proper approach for delivering condition code enabled part via project del flow.

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. Thanks Linda

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.

Hello folks, Does anyone have a test scenario document (ideally with step by step instructions) that can be followed to test the Schedule of Work in IFS ? If you can please share some reference material, it would be very helpful. Thanks, Ash

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 navigato

Where in IFS Apps10 can you enter a practical completion date for a construction project?

Does anyone know of any good rresources for training on the BPA Workflow? There was a good resource on Youtube from the IFS community, but this seems to have disapeared, does anyone know what has happened to this? Thanks, Stuart

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 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 invoicin

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?

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 24.1.9 Thanks,Asela

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

Hi, I have enabled Project Budget Control settings as below for the Project and setup the Project Budget Control consumption checkpoint as Create Purchase Requisition Line. When I created a project supply request that exceeding the budget it does not block creation of the Purchase Requisition. But when I tried Create Purchase order line and Release Purchase order line as consumption check point this budget control option is working. Is there any reason for this?

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

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 much Best regards Antonin

Hello, We use part demands on a project module. We want that received parts will be issued automatically with no further actions to be made by the users. Is it possible to make this action automatic ? Best regards

Hello everybody, We are going to upgrade to IFS 25R1 and now we have a fresh IFS 25R1 installation. We are testing IFS 25R1 with our data.Unfortunately, we are experiencing troubles when accessing our projects: The project structure tree is not displayed in ‘Project Scope and Schedule’ page The project structure tree is not displayed in ‘Project Gantt’ page When trying to approve or schedule a new project, the following message is displayed: “You cannot perform this function because your user does not have access to the project or all the subprojects belonging to the project "<Project ID>". Contact the project manager to review your project access privileges.” This is true for all projects even if I am set as the Project Manager and also the manager of all sub-projects. Currently we are running IFS 23R2 SU 17 without any issues. I can view project structure, Ganttt Charts, approve and schedule any projects even if I am not defined as the ptoject manager, because I have admin privileges
