Hi everyone, I have encountered an error while working with the measurement for the object page, and I'm unsure about the meaning and generation of the "Activity Sequence number." Additionally, I have identified 19 records that are missing in the RESOURCE_ACTIVITY_tab. I'm curious to know the relationship between the Measurement for Object page and the Resource Activity table. Moreover, I would like to understand how to resolve this error and determine its root cause. To identify missing records I used the following query: SELECT * FROM pm_resource_activity_tab t WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM RESOURCE_ACTIVITY_tab WHERE RESOURCE_ACTIVITY_SEQ = t.RESOURCE_ACTIVITY_SEQ

Can someone share a document on how the project module and sales contract work. Basically we are trying to use it for deferred revenue. We have a requirement to comply with IFRS 15. Is there any document on how Project module is linked with Sales contract.

Hi, We have a requirement in project time registration where hours should not exceed the scheduled hours of the employee. For instance, if hours in employee files>» employment>Assignments > scheduled hours is 8 then system should not allow that employee to book more than 8 hours Is there any options in IFS to control or we can archive it via configuration/modification.

Hello, How and where can i found the technical name of menu : example “set Invoiceable” Think you

This is in relation to Apps 10. From within the same Project, I copied an activity to create a new activity. In the Estimate tab, the estimated hours copied over to this new activity. I deleted this line in the Estimate tab because it wasn’t needed. However, the estimated hours are still remaining in the Hours tab (below). I cannot modify this line. Is there a way, other than going in the backend to remove this? It seems to be stuck in a loop. Is this a bug? Any advice or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

IDEA: In both Apps10 EE and Apps10 Aurena you can only connect a resource individual to one parent resource at a time. Is it possible to develop a way to connect to multiple parent resources to remove the need to repeat the connection process? In Apps10 EE you can only enter one resource into the Resource ID box. This works the same in Aurena Adding them in the resource navigator screen also only allows for the employee to be connected to each parent individually. Thanks

I am trying to bring back the maximum valuation number from subval_valuation_cfv for that subcontract and if a valuation doesn't exist for that subcontract, then bring back row but show valuation no as null. I only want to see one row for ever subcontract number even if a valuation doesn’t exist. Here is my query: SELECT DISTINCT b.cf$_project AS "Project No", b.sub_con_no AS "Subcontract Order No", b.sub_con_name AS "Subcontract Name", f.valuation_no, b.supplier_id AS "Supplier ID", ifsapp.supplier_info_general_api.get_name(b.supplier_id) AS "Supplier Name", b.cf$_sub_purch_group AS "Cost Code", b.cf$_sub_purch_group_desc AS "Cost Code Desc", b.pay_term_id AS "Payment Terms", b.int_retention AS "Retention %", f.certificate_no AS "Certificate No", f.state AS "Certificate Status", f.cf$_payprocdate AS "Contractual Payment Date", f.paid_date AS "Date Paid"FROM ifsapp.sub_contract_cfv b LEFT JOIN ifsapp.subval_valuation_cfv f ON b.sub_con_no = f.sub_con_no WHERE b.state IN ( 'Active', 'Pl

We are using Project Deliverables for a customer and in the created structure in Project Deliverables in a first stage, we want to add a purchase plan for components with a long lead time to have them ordered in an earlu stage of the project. In a second phase the complete BOM is been created and pieces are copied from PDM to have it built. In that complete structure with a “top part” that has a shop order plan and an underlying structure with supply option “PMRP” we have those long lead time components again because they are also part of the structure. Although we would like to choose the supply option in such a way that IFS would recognize that they were already ordered with the purchase plan and no new demand from project deliverables is been created. Does anyone has an idea whether this is possible and how to manage this? Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Kurt

Hi, We have a requirement to create one Project Deliverable for 2 quantities, But in Project deliverable screen I cannot edit the required quantity, it is default shows 1 quantity. So i want to know how to create a project deliverable for 2 quantities.

Hi, Any Lead to advice on the test flow on creating a project transaction through forwards supplier invoice process. Regards,

Have you seen a scenario where when you copy a activity with project estimate the newly created activity ended up with estimate value from the original activity which cannot be deleted from the application. Test Plan Copy a project activity where you have some transactions. make sure to define a estimate for a cost element. The newly created activity will have a value in the cost with the estimate value. But the estimate tab is empty ​​​​​ Have to delete from backend to solve the issue. in App10 UPD9

We have each engineer set up as a resource in IFS and then connect them to multiple parent resources. These parent resources relate to individual jobs meaning that the PSO will send them these type of jobs only. E.g. a Gas engineer will only be allocated Gas related jobs and no others. When connecting an engineer to a parent resource in both Apps10 and Aurena, we can only connect them one at a time. You have to repeat the following process for each connection in Apps10 And this process for each connection in Aurena Is there a way to connect a resource individual to more than one parent resource group avoiding repeating the above process? Or is there an option to setup a template whereby we can link an employee to multiple parent resources in one go? Thanks

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 Analysis Our 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.

I think the answer is probably going to be no but you never know so I’ll ask anyway. In the same company we have two distinct business units that both use projects but in the same way. Lets call them business unit A and business unit B. Both business units have different sets of engineers assigned to them. Business unit A wants to prohibit engineers from business unit B from booking time to projects belonging to business unit A.. We thought about using project access on but that casts too wide a net and would impact common support groups like purchasing and finance that support both business units which would make the access groups painful to continually maintain. We were hoping at the time entry level there was an easy way to make projects (or sub projects, or activities for that matter) invisible to those engineers that shouldn’t be able to book time to them..

We have created a Project invoice from an Application for Payment from a sales contract. This is to release remaining retention on the Sales contract . So it is Retention only application for payment. . The Invoice will not go to Posted authorise , but there are no errors showing on the Invoice. has anyone experienced this issue before ? We are on app 10 Update 11. Jeremy

User is (sometimes) getting error “Incorrect Time Entry. You are not a resource for this Work No 14510 Task 51913” However checking the details he is a resource against that WO and Task. This is only happening some of the time - not all the time and I can’t figure out what the issue could be. Any help would be appreciated

We have projects connected to / invoiced via customer orders. The customer order lines in these cases are for non-inventory sales parts / service parts. As the revenue numbers are not like expected (some lines are missing in actual revenue) we did some analysis, and found empty cost element fields in project connections. Question: where can we add a cost element to a non-inventory sales part? a default cost element called “Missing Cost element” for all missing cost elements? Is there any checklist / recommendation, what masterdata is necessary to have correct calculations in a project? Apps 10 Upd 11 Thank you for your feedback! Regards Martina

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.

Within the business of one of our customers, it is common to agree with the customer to send invoices in an currency other than the accounting currency. As example, Hong Kong office has as accounting currency HKD (Hong Kong Dollar) while the contract to invoice is in CNY (Chinese renminbi). Employees from Hong Kong will report their time and cost in the accounting currency and then there are also subcontractors involved which send their invoices in EUR (Euro) and USD (US Dollar). When the contract is signed the budget is also signed. So company is creating the budget in those different currencies for both cost and revenue. Now it is expecting to see it the ETC, EAC and Actuals in Base Currency where the actuals in the Project Forecast are based on the information in the transactions (Vouchers). And that the ETC is recalculated by first taking the EAC from previous Forecast then subtract the actuals. And that the ETC is based on the B&F Rate. But now the problem is that “Used Base Curr

A resource group has four employees connected. All employees have 8 hour schedule per day. But the total numbers of hours per day of the resource group also shows 8. Shouldn’t it be 32 hours? It does not get updated although ‘Calculate Resource Capacity’ is run. How to get this corrected? Individual hours per day. Four individuals set as this. Resource group also shows only 8 hours per day

Hi everyone, can anyone please tell me how the priority works on a maintenance plan, as you can see in the below image the priority is set to be 3 which is 2 weeks however when observed the planned start date and latest finish date has difference is just a week. Thanks a lot in advance cheers

Engineering Part Revision used to have a checkbox that would set the part revision to Released on save. I believe it was in a grouping called “On Save”. It is very handy when all you want to do is Release the revision and not fight the step of going to Active. Did that get removed? Patrick

Risk Probability Levels can only be entered as an whole number and cannot overlap. Error messages are triggered if you attempt either of these things:• Decimal Numbers are not allowed for Probability Max• Overlaps present in maximum and minimum probability values. This means that there is always a gap between levels. On the Risk Analysis Screen when you try and set a probability to a percentage that is in one of those gaps, the following error message is generated:• Risk Basic data is not correctly set up. Gaps present between maximum and minimum probability values. Contact your administrator!The System Administrator can do nothing about this as it is impossible to avoid having gaps. Is it possible to allow the setting of the probability levels to 2 decimal places just like you can set the Probability Percentage on a Risk or to only allow the Probability Percentage on a Risk to be set using a whole number?
