Would like to sync our technician’s calendars between IFS Cloud and Exchange/Outlook so that internal meetings on technicians Outlook calendars don’t get scheduled over. Want to be able to see an Outlook meeting in IFS Cloud. The CRM calendar sync doesn’t bring calendar items to the right calendar, and it requires a manual step to start the calendar item sync. Does this functionality exist? Anyone write something custom? Running IFS Cloud 23.1.5Thanks,Paul 

When running GRC with Project Connections we are receiving the following error:Value is missing for posting type M1 combined control type C83C5 code part A in company 10. Check the Accounting Rules setup for posting type M1. ORA-20110: MpccomAccounting.ACCNTFORPOSTTYPEThe challenge is identifying which of the 2000 deliverable items on the deliverable structure is causing the error to be thrown.We’ve checked part setup that has caused this error in the past (missing Accounting Group, missing Supplier For Purchase Part, no Primary Supplier, missing Inventory Part Default Location) but everything looks ok so there must be something else having an impact.Is there any way of getting more info from the error to understand which deliverable item it has a problem with? Or is there a resource that clarifies all the fields that could have an impact and throw this error?

I can define the internal prices for all costs and times that are reported on a report code on the Internal Price window. The internal prices can be set on different tabs, with different priorities. The priorities are as follows, with Priority 1 as the highest.Priority 1 - Price will be fetched from Internal Price/ Specific Price.Priority 2 - Price will be fetched from Internal Price/Employee Price.Priority 3 - If the Resource ID and Report Code have specified, that price will be fetched in Internal Price/Standard Price.

HiI have a client who completed a project and did a reposting to a different GL with the asset number and project on the posting.  They had to reopen the project and do a correction because it went to the wrong GL account. Now they are trying to do the project completion again.  The reposting rule will not keep the asset on it. What is happening is that we do a reposting to the new account and list the asset.  As soon as we tab to another field, the asset disappears. Has anyone had an issue of doing a reposting on a project completion where it will not keep the asset number on the posting prior to saving the transaction? 

Sub Contract Maximum Retention ValueIn one of our customer’s subcontracts, there is maximum retention amount is specified as USD 98920.04 initially. In the valuations, they have gone up to this maximum retention value and even after that, there were several subcontracts valuations raised. In the previous valuation, they have released a part of the retention value only.   After that, the customer has raised a sub-contract valuation for work done in which they have not released anything beyond the previously released value. But the valuation has calculated a further retention amount, but that has exceeded the specified maximum retention value.Due to this they have changed the maximum retention as USD 110527.8. But they have got an error saying

Hi,We have noticed a strange behavior in project navigator. When we report hours both cost and hour progresses are reported. However during the day for some reasons progress is reduced to 0% although the activity is reported. Does anybody know what can cause the issue?Best regards,Bernadeta

Is there a version of the Time Tracker app available for use with IFS Cloud 23R1?

Multiple project time reporting transactions available on different account dates for the same employee , same project activity and same report code. Transactions are Approved > transferred to cost accounting and GL is updated. Project actual cost is available.   In Activity>  project connections , the sum up amount from above transactions are available. However, Project connection> RMB> Project transactions routes to the project transaction screen, but all the corresponding transactions are not correctly  filtered &  fetched.   How do we resolve this?  

The aim of this post is to clarify the functionality of the Project Spread Profile within the IFS Budgeting and Forecasting module.  Refer to the following exampleThe objective is to allocate USD 10,000 across the activity dates, which span from August 1, 2022, to November 8, 2022. This allocation follows a profile comprising five intervals with distinct percentage distributions of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%, respectively. We need to compute the specific spread amount per period from 2022-08 to 2022-11.Please note: The spreading calculation takes into account only working days based on the connected calendar to the project. In this instance, the connected calendar assumes 8x7 (meaning all seven days of the week are considered working days). The rule of thumb is to select only the working days during the period (start and date dates). The connected calendar to the project is referred.

A PO with an outstanding balance is not showing as a committed cost in the project.

Hi everbody,I get this error when I type 2301 in the start value field on the PM action screen. How can I solve it?Best regards,Mervan  

Hi there, We are having a problem with our project WIP. We set up a project group with the following settings on the attached screen shots The estimated revenue was 100K with costs at 80k The results are show shown in the final screenshot after the periodic capitalization… The problem is, that it does not seem to recognise if the costs are going over and seems to report revenue that will never be received! Obviously this will be catastrophic for reporting! Is there a setting we are missing somewhere Any ideas?? Many thanks

Hello, We have a large project order for next year with multiple deliveries against it. My question is, can you connect multiple customer orders to one single project? (Normally we would connect just one order to the project) For this example, we would want to have multiple orders so that we dont have one giant order with thosuands of lines! Thank you

Dear all,I linked a customer order line with supply code Shop Order to a projct activity. I expected the planned costs to be the costs from cost set 1 of the concerned part (as correctly shown in cost column in order line) and as described in IFS-documentation:  BUT:In project activity the planned costs are the level costs of the part, not the accum. cost:  I made various tests with differing parts on different environments where the planned costs in activity have shown these outcomes:cost set 2 of the part

Hi,Is there a document about the project management module?

Apps 10: I am trying to set up pre-posting at project header level so I dont have to do it on each individual line. When trying to then connect the order line to the project, i get the following error message: Code part Customer is not allowed to have a pre-posting value since M104 - Preaccounting Customer Order Row has not been enabled for code part Customer in company ITL. Does anyone have any ideas on what this is telling me?

For the status lights I inserted in the IAL an count-command:Is anybody familiar with combining written list elements with status lights (see ECR, ANC and AUC)? (Environment App10).Thank you in advance.Regards Markus
