Hi we frequently run into issues when we need to update a project connection; once a customer order is already released due to this error message.Has anyone found a way to making changes to get around this error message?.The need to update is due to the wrong activity having been selected by the user in error. 

In Apps 10 IEE a user can select multiple Material Transfer Requisition Lines and the Release command is available to process them all of them at once.  In Cloud 23R2 we are finding that with one selected, the Release command is available.  However if the user selects multiple lines, the Release command goes away.  We made sure the lines selected are all in Planned status which is a pre-req to be able to release.  Is this by design, or is this a bug?Thanks!

Hi,I am developing an integration where the service user connected to and IAM client needs access to all projects in IFS Cloud, restricted or not. Don’t know the project module in IFS Cloud that well but is there another way of granting access, other than the below steps?Creating an employee connected to the service user Adding that employee to a Team Adding all projects in access definition of that Team Setup an event action/workflow that adds access for every future project created I’m using standard projections. 

After project transactions are created, can we update the internal price without manually editing the project transactions? I need to update the standard cost of employees at the end of the month.

Hi,We’re running on IFS CLoud 24.1.4. Accounting is trying to close an old project which dates back from 2018, but are having issues due to project transactions which are not posted.  The transactions in question are shown below, they’re time entered by employees working in another company (multicompany transactions). I’ve tried the “transfer project cost accounting transactions” and “update gl vouchers” to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated.  

Hello experts in the Community,I have a requirement to create an “Application for Payment (AFP)” from a ‘Sales Contract Revision’ that has 2 lines with two different “Item Sales Currency’ values (CAD and USD). Expectation is to create the AFP with CAD where USD line to come in with CAD converted equivalent values.  When attempting to create an AFP via “New AFP” dialog box IFS makes it mandatory to select a ‘Currency Code’. In following example, I selected “CAD” as the “Currency Code” as I want to create the AFP in CAD. In the resulting AFP (Application for Payment) only the line #2 and respective Item has made it across to the AFP, which had the “Item Sales Currency” set as “CAD”. Whereas Line #1 and the connected item that had “USD” as the “Item Sales Currency” has fallen off from the Application. I am not 100% if this is working as designed or I am missing a setup/configuration to get to the desired result. Thanks a bunch for your support! :) Background InformationIFS Version: IFS Cl

Community, We are testing Project Delvierables with parts that are After Delivery Serial Controlled. We are facing issue when final product is to be installed at client site, we have work order to perform this job. since it is to be issued to the delivery structure, per configuration, at this moment the serial no should be identified and captured by the delivery structure, but we have problem doing this, basically we found no place to have this info entered into IFS. We have a very simple delivery structure, top part is a manufactured part, and child is a purchased part, both are after delivery serial tracking. We now have them installed via a work order, see below, on work order material line, i can see this top part RHITEM4 is a serial controlled part. our question is, where we can add the serial no into IFS?  Thank you.

The amounts should not be deducted from the Service Bank and should not appear on the Service Bank Report

Hi IFS Community,We're working on an IFS Cloud implementation for a telecommunications client, and I'm seeking advice on the best approach to handle high-volume project creation.Our Requirements:- Approximately 500 new projects needed per day- Projects are for fiber rollout operations for example- Each project represents a customer order- Need to maintain performance and efficiency at scaleCurrent Proposed Approach:1. Create centralized master projects structured by regions2. Set up customer orders as sub-projects under these master projects3. Organize by yearly buckets for better management4. Generate Work Orders from project activitiesKey Concerns:- System performance with high-volume project creation- Efficient project structure for reporting and tracking- Automation of sub-project creation- Resource allocation and scheduling at scaleQuestions for the Community:1. Has anyone implemented a similar high-volume project structure in IFS Cloud?2. What challenges did you face with large n

Hello Community,I have two query regarding project. The business requirement is to create a project quote and if won convert it to a project. In IFS which functionality can be used to cater this?

Is Project Access the only way to restrict visibility/access to all projects regardless of company they belong to? i.e. User is employed by Company 123, and only has access to Company 123 in permission sets, but can currently see projects for Company 123 & Company 456. Is there a way to set up Project Teams, without having to specify which projects are included/excluded - i.e. at a company level?

Hello -We are using IFS App 10, update 23.  We have an existing company #1where employees report to projects and shop orders and are adding a new company #2 which will also have projects and shop orders.  We want employees from company #1 to report to company #2 projects and shop orders and vice versa.  Each company has it’s own site.  Employees use time registration or shop floor work bench for time reporting. I am looking for some guidance on the setup to make this happen.  Do employees need to have an employee file on both companies? Are they a resource on both companies?  What posting controls are used?  Any help would be appreciated.TIA

Hi All,When defining the project deliverables we normally copy the whole structure as a deliverable. However sometimes we need to change the item type of these items. For an instance, let’s say we have a machine with many component parts, as a project deliverable. If we are to manufacture this machine we need all the component parts created as demands for the project. So the item type for them will be ‘Material’. However, there can be instances where we need to get the whole machine from another supplier. In this case we don’t need the component parts to be created as demands for the project but we need to have them as components listed under the machine, in project deliverables design. In this case we need to change the item types for all the component parts from ‘Material’ to ‘Non-Material’.  But what makes this process difficult is that in cloud, we can only change one line at a time (as per our understanding). Usually we have many component parts (sometimes about 100 or more), so i

I want to change the comments of  custom attributes with excel migration.I have done some work for this by taking a working migration job as an example , but i am having  some problems.1.Date is entered in the header section of the migration job and source mapping , method list, rules are created automatically.“ORA-20124: CustomFieldAttributes.FND_ITEM_FORMAT: “String” value for [DATA_TYPE] in Custom Field Attribute has incorrect format.” It gives an error. 2. We get this error when we delete some mappings and run the migration again.  3. We tried creating a new migration job and deleting the source files.We get this error again.4.We tried making the new property no in the method list tab.We get the same error again.How can we solve this problem?

Hi all! I have a demand to manage Agile Projects (scrum) on IFS Cloud.I know that the module is structured for waterfall projects, but I would like to know if someone had this requirement and managed to provide a workaround to address it. The main points are to track the sprints, user sotries, team capacity and backlog. Thanks,Odair

Hi IFS-experts,I am experience something strange when connecting a resource forecast to a project resource. On the Project Forecast the ETC value is 0 and, on the Resource Forecast the ETC value is also 0. When I make the connection between the Project Forecast and Resource Forecast the ETC value is recalculated to -99.382.My expectation was that it would be the same as the ETC in Resource Forecast and Project Forecast. I am trying to understand how the logic is working in IFS. If someone can enlighten my knowledge about how this should be working, then I would be very glad about that.

We are working on a process where ALL billing is done from the project.  The process involves creating a Custom Order (CO) from the Business Opportunity (Bus Opp) and then setting those lines to Not Invoiceable.  On the projects side, an invoice plan would be made for an amount that includes the CO Line.  In order that an invoice is not created from the CO, the CO line(s) is set to Not Invoiceable.On the project, the Planned Revenue for these order lines is being included.  It is my thought that if the line is Not Invoiceable that the amount on this line should not be included as a planned revenue.Does anyone have any thoughts on this?Patrick
