Project Gantt Dependencis - expand

Hi We have a huge amount of dependencies on our projects, instead of expanding all we would like to expand only to next level => sub projects, and if needed expand from there to activities. Or if possible we would like to choose the activity level connections that we want to see, like shop orders or purchase orders.We are using Cloud 22R1.4

Default Delivery Address for Customer

Hi Community,When selecting credit entire invoice in the project invoices window by RMB, the following error message pops up. The address tab in the customer window is filled. Are there any other places the default delivery address is being picked from? I also checked the addresses tab under the Project window. However, this is not filled for any of the customers. What could be bringing in this error message? Kind regards,Nisha

Unsupported software Ms Visual C++ 2010 and 2012 needed for installation IFS 10?

We are busy to install IFS V10 and have to use Ms Visual C++ 2010 and Ms Visual C++ 2012. However, Ms Visual C++, 2010 is already out of support and Ms Visual C++, 2012 is out of support as of January 10th, 2023. Our business case to update to IFS V10 was based on “SECURITY and Compliancy”” and now we need to install unsupported software??

MRO Maintenance Program

I'm using IFS Application 10 for aircraft maintenance control, MRO. Maintenance programs vary depending on the serial number of each aircraft, modification applied to each one. To meet the variations by the IFS, we would have to set up several maintenance programs, which would make it difficult to update when revising the maintenance manual. The question is how to put together a single maintenance program that would handle multiple requests or is it even possible to create a way to update all programs when only one of them is updated against a revision of the maintenance manual. Multiple maintenance programs for the same aircraft make updating difficult.

Question about Cost Elements

Hello,Please help a beginner with question about cost elements used in Accounting and Project module in IFS.For example, we are issuing Purchase requisition and later Purchase order for Inventory Part and we are connecting that Inventory Part in PR/PO to Activity in Project module.Is it possible to have the cost of this inventory part assigned to Cost Element in two different ways:One Cost Element for our Financial department for General Ledger Other (different) Cost Element in Project Navigator / Budget AnalysisOur goal is to have the cost reported in two different ways, one simpler way needed for our Financial department, and one more detailed way for Project team.Thank you and best regards.

Calculate employee project cost for the Absence/Leave days

Hi All,In my case, employees report time against the project activities through Time Registration window. Once time registration is authorized, finance users generated T vouchers against the time registrations through the process called "Transfer Project Cost Accounting Transactions”. It will create employee project cost accounts for the entered time. If an employee applied for an absence/leave, employee will not add working time for that day in Time Registration. And project cost accounting records will not create for the absence days. My requirement is to create project accounting for the absence date as well. Any functionality available in standard IFS ? Regards,MalinG.

Resource Forecast: Snapshots - ETC / EAC Recalculated Pros / Cons

Hello,We are project-based organisation with many projects running concurrently and with a strict monthly reporting cycle. Each project is enforced to create monthly resource and financial forecasts.We’ve been having some issues recently with resource forecasts generating negative ETC costs which then disrupt financial forecasts, see this thread. We have been investigating further in test environments and noticed that our issues disappear when we use “EAC Recalculated” in the snapshot matching field when generating a resource forecast, rather than using “ETC recalculated”. When we went live, we were instructed to use “ETC recalculated”.Unfortunately, the help panel in IFS doesn’t include any information on the difference between these two calculation methods when selecting this field. With a PM hat on, EAC recalculated makes the most logical sense as we want Committed and Used hours to be driven by timesheet & shop order data, and ETC hours be driven my monthly manual intervention

IFS connect stop work after upgrading from IFS9 to IFS10

Hi, all,In my test pass of upgrading IFS9 to IFS10, I found the IFS connect for our EDI message stopped working, it just did not pick up the xml files as in IFS9.   The original setting in the FTP Reader, Routing Rule and Routing Address looked normal, but after putting the uploading xml file in the FTP site, nothing happened (In IFS9, the uploading files will disappear within minutes).  And there were no any messags under Application Messages, either error or successful.   Could anyone shred some insight to me ?thanks in advance,David

Project Baseline Cost summary has included on cancelled activity

We have a project where cost breakdown is like mentioned above. When we checked the baseline there’s an extra $26,826.58 in cost that doesn’t show under project connections. That extra $26,826.58 has come from an Activity which is in Cancelled state.  Can a cancelled Activity have a baseline cost? There is no planned/estimated cost.  I tried to add it on the estimate tab, rebaseline, delete, then rebaseline but I can’t because the activity is cancelled.  Simply rebaselining does not fix it.

Behavior like Project Deliverables with Supply Code = DOP

Dear all,I would like to ask you to explain why Project Deliverables does not contain an option for Supply Code = DOP (there are options for pegged Shop Order, pegged Purchase Order, PMRP and MRP only).Project Deliverables is really great mechanism to have everything under one umbrella, but what I am really strongly missing is the functionality to garantee the time dependencies in production planning of particular Shop Orders organized in the multilevel structure like in DOP.We are able to generate independent pegged shop orders connected to given Activity No, but without any connection among them. It means that we cannot garantee by the plan that the finish good will be planned and produced after all its semifinish parts will be planned / finished. Can be easily handled by the time dependency/timelag.I understand that demands of Project Deliverables are connected to activities of the project and we are able to drive the planning partially by the project activity based level. However,

How to disconnect customer order lines from project activities ?

Hi Community,we are using IFSAPP10 Project Navigator & Project Deliverable.We are used to connect customer order lines with project activities. We have by mistake connected some order lines with wrong projects activities (wrong sub-project), so that the revenue is not linked with the correct sub-project. Once the customer order is in released status, IFS does not accept to disconnect lines.Thanks in advance for your inputs!
