Projects Based (Contract/Resource Management, Project Management, Engineering Design & Deliverables)

We have one Project with two sites. The Project was created from a Customer Order with an External Customer.  After running PMRP, Site 1 has a Purchase Order for the Internal Supplier (Site 2). The purchase order line is connected to the Project Activity. Using Inter Site functionality, we released and sent the Purchase Order to the Internal Supplier (Site 2), which automatically created the Customer Order for Site 2 (with Site 1 as a Customer).  However, the internal Customer Order lines cannot connect to the Project Activity.  We receive this error. Can Inter site POs and CO be connected to the same Project? 

Dear Community Members.I hope you will be able to suggest a solution to the given issue. In one of our projects there are a lot of agreements signed in Euro. We want to register and conduct them as Subcontracts in IFS. However, the invoicing has to be in country currency - RON in Romania. In case of Purchase Orders there is a possibility to match invoice with purchase order delivery without problems even when currencies are different. In Subcontract there is a problem and the system cannot see certificate to match if it is in different currency than invoice. Or I cannot find the proper settings.The current solution is that we convert the contract value from EUR into RON using certain currency rate, enter subcontract in RON and issue certificates that we need to match with invoices. But each invoice is in different period and has a varied currency rate. In result we have the problem with differences between certified value and invoiced value. Any ideas to solve such issue are welcome an

Does any understand the rules around Project Exceptions and how to clear them especially the two that affect your cost:Resource Planning Planned Value ExceededIs there any documentation that explain these, have been looking at the Planned Value Exceeded and just presumed that it was that my Planned Cost was lower that my Committed Cost + Used cost. But on the example I looked at my planned cost was fine. So looked in more detail and discovered that Baseline cost was lower than my Committed + Used Cost,  adding my activity to the Baseline cleared my exception. ThanksMark

Hi  Does anyone know the function of the Cost To Complete Field on the Estimate Tab on the Project Activity, as it just seems to be a dumb field.   

Hi TeamI created a service contract with the below invoicing parameters;  However, I want to create a single invoice for the five selected periods below, but it always creates five separate invoices for each period.  Can someone tell me if there is any possibility to create a single invoice for the above period? If so, what functionality or settings should I enable?​​​​​​​

Project Training - IFS Cloud - New Project Forecast I am working on my IFS Cloud Project Management Training. Currently working on the project finance course. I am getting the following error when I attempt to follow the course demo and create a forecast from the new project forecast screen. Is this something I can fix, or is there someone at IFS who will need to take care of this for me?  

Dear IFS Community,I have calculated the cumulative lead time for all the parts. When I generate a plan for a manufacturing part in the project deliverables module, it calculates according to manufacturing lead time. Is there a way to make it generate according to cum lead time instead? For instance,

I want to be able to issue Standard Inventory to a Project Demand.  In several areas, there are references to a command referred to as Net Project Material.  Which is, as I understand and remember it, is a way to reserver standard inventory to a project.  The About section on Project Inventory has the sentence: Project-pegged demands can usually be configured to use either standard or project inventory.We also have this in the Execute Project Miscellaneous Demand process description and it refers to the part being a standard planned itemA material or part can either be standard or project-specific. If the part is a standard planned item, the demand for it will be seen by standard MRP and order point calculations. The part can also be reserved or issued from standard inventory if there is quantity available.I’m looking for some guidance on how to set this up and uses the system to Net the material from standard inventory to a project or to have the demand use standard inventory.Thank yo

Hello,At IFS10 Update10  Project Deliverables Navigator screen our engineers noticed that a sum problem.

Hello together,when I report time on a project by the Time Card, the dialog with the switches “Project”, “Shop Order” and “Indirect” pops up. All the three switches are st on inactive. When I turn on of these on active, I can report time.My question is now: is it possible to set the switch “Project” on active by default, so that (ideally) that dialog is skipped and IFS leads me direct to the Time Reporting of the Project, see screenshot? Perhaps by page designer?Thx and regards Markus

Hi all,I am testing to setup Custom Help in the lower Help Pane and I wonder how it is meant that #FIELD is meant to work. Preferably I would like the #FIELD could take you to a chapter in the Help File, but how do I tag the HTM file then? Or is it even possible?It works fine to configure the base profile for windows we want a Custom Help File, so that is very useful as it is, but i.e. in Work Task we have a large number of custom fields and it would be so nice if the focused field value could take you directly to the correct part of the document describing this custom fields.We are running App10, upd18 if this helps. ;)Thank you so much in advance! 

We created a Project Cost using Report Project Cost - Non personal.This uses posting control PRJC3 and 4. But all that happens on the project monitoring screen is that the Debit and Credit offset one another to 0.How do you get it to show the committed cost you have posted and not offset. The debit and credit below just offset. We do not want this, we want one line to appear with a value of 10 so Revenue then shows 10.00   

Is it possible to add project transactions Report Code Type = Cost to an Invoicing Advice.Have only been able to make work for Time.If yes, what is setup required that is different than Time?

What is the reason that a tag can only be assigned to a deliverable when it’s completed? We engineer our parts and the tag (for us KKS coding ) is known already in engineering phase.No need to buy before we know the tag.We are migrating from IFS 10 to IFS Cloud and shifting to Project Deliverables is mandatory .. but encountering some strange changes here. Anyone ?

Need to know about the standard rollup hours in the project item navigator. when you are updating labor run factor of a routing, How the standard rollup hours are changing. should the total standard rollup hours of the top part should be updated by the same number that changing in the labor run factor of the relevant routing.? How does this relate to the engineering part revision.? Should the total of the standard roll up of the component part s be equal to the standard rollup hours of the top part in the project item navigator. Is there any bug fix related to this? 

As far as I know, when you have project transactions and Work Order Transactions there is not a way to send the customer a single invoice.  You have to invoice the project transactions using a project invoice and you have to invoice the work order transactions through a Customer Order.  Am I right on this?Is there a way to combine both into a single invoice?Our customer is concerned about the acceptability of receiving multiple invoices.Any ideas might be helpful.Thank you.

when scheduling a project, dependencies are created between activities. The most common type of dependency is finished to start, which means that the activity cannot start until the predecessor activity is finished. When scheduling the project, the system considers these dependencies to plan the start and finish dates of the activities.   Notice that start date had not change after activity 3 May I kindly know if this is due to a basic data issue.Thank youUdanee

I’m trying to create a sales contract from a Business Opportunity.  In the Create Sales Contract dialog, in the lower section I set my line no, description and set my Calculation type for Sales Value and my calculation method of Rate Only and Fixed.  When the Sales Contract is created, the only values that come over from the Opportunity and ones where I’ve set the calculation method to Fixed.  Does anyone know why the values when I am using Rate Only are not coming over to the Sales Contract?

Hi,I’m looking at creating an external file template to import project misc. parts demand. I’d like to be able to enter a date that would then update the field ‘Required Date’.The value for this field is fetched (it’s a proper column in the logical unit), below is the SQL column detail:NVL(&AO.PROJECT_MISC_PROCUREMENT_API.Calculate_Required_Date(PROJECT_ID,ACTIVITY_SEQ,&AO.ACTIVITY_API.Get_Early_Finish(ACTIVITY_SEQ),OFFSET),&AO.ACTIVITY_API.Get_Early_Finish(ACTIVITY_SEQ)). I’ve created the external file template and I have added a field/column called ‘Require_Date’Columns 2 to 7 are mandatory.Without anything else, the template works but (obviously) the date keyed in in that column is not taken into account to update either ‘Required Date’ or ‘Offset’ - but this is something I’d like to happen.I’ve looked at using either detail functions or calling an API After Unpack (calling PROJECT_MISC_PROCUREMENT_API.Caclculate_Offset; with the following details PROJECT_MISC_PROCUREMEN
