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

In the roadmap PPT document for 22R2 there was a statement on the slide “Additional Features and Tweaks” called “Project connections to WorkTasks”. As understand this was not delivered in 22R2. Is there another plan for this delivery of functionality

Hi! There used to be a functionality in IFS9 where we could RMB on project transactions and send these transactions as links to other employees within the company. With the upgrade to IFS10, this functionality no longer exists. Is there a way to re-introduce this functionality back into our Project Transactions page? Thanks!!

Does anyone know if it’s possible to have multiple project activities that have the same activity short name (they have different activity sequences). I’m currently getting the validation error ‘The Activity already exists’ and wondering if there is a way around this.

Same report layout has different formats in different data bases. Anyone know form where to change date format of Project Invoice Specification Layout?

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 b

Community, kindly advise what is the best way to batch upload parts into IFS? I was told there is a bug in IFS API, and some mandatory fields are missing in engineering part after migration. Thank you.

We use the REST API projection ProjectNavigator to integrate project activities to our Project Management Tool. We use a simple GET to fetch all activites. If we send a request and get 900 records, we might get 800 records a minute later. The 100 missing records is then back again in the next call, but we might lack 50 others. There seems to be no logic in which records are missing, some of them not altered in years. We use the standard projection ProjectNavigator/Activities. Any thoughts?

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!

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

Hi, For our projects, we need sometimes to transfer 50+ parts to project inventory. Is the only option to do this line by line with material transfer requisition? We would like to have a one click solution.

Hello :) Does anyone know if there is a way to set a delivery address on a project so that it does not take the default customer address?

Hi , we are using IFS Cloud 22R1 currently, we have a request from custmer that , for an Internal Project they want to use Project to collecting the Labor Cost. and, they don’t want to use Employee (only use Resource/Resource Group) what they want is : Time Report : Resource A(Designers): cost rate: $100/h , report time : 50 hours 2. Resource B (Operators): cost rate: $50/h, report time: 100 hours 3. Resource C (Managers): cost rate : $200/h, report time: 10 hours and finally , the Project Cost is : 100 * 50 + 50*100 + 200*10 = $12,000 Does IFS support this kinds of Reporting?

All, Can someone help me with a resource planning question? On a Work Task it is possible to add additional qualification (Certificates and competences) besides the resource group. I expect that this is also possible on the project resource, but I cannot find anything on this. Is there also an option to add this on the project Resource? Thanks in advance, Robert Kool

We are trying to look into efficient ways of re-charging a customer for exactly what we have been billed for by a supplier. I’ve been pointed in the direction of the Forward Supplier Invoice transaction, but looking for a process on how to to best set this up to test if it gives us the solution we require. Mainly around report code at the moment as my initial testing has failed with an invalid Report Code

Hi guys, I am setting up a new company in IFS and getting the following message: ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [DIST_CALENDAR_ID] is mandatory for Site and requires a value. Any one knows how to fix this? Kind regards, Sohail

This problem is related to flow MCPR (MHS) using only standard solution. When creating corrections on project transactions in Customer Company, if the user tries to set Approval Flag to False of this Recreated line, then the following error will be there --------------------------- Error - IFS Applications --------------------------- It is not possible to modify the approval for cost accounting since the connected multi-company transaction in company {Customer Company ID} is invoiced. --------------------------- [OK] --------------------------- Test plan: Create a Project Transactions in the Employee company then Approve both for Cost accounting once Customer Transactions are created. Next, create an invoice for the Transaction in the Employee company and "Send and Release" the invoice Next, go to the Project Transaction screen and query for the Customer Company Transaction created RMB the line and Click "Create Correction Transactions" Now select the Recreated Line, then RMB and click

Hi, We’ve been using IFS for a year or so but repetitively see an issue with negative ETC costs generated on resource forecasts that then feed into project financial forecasts, and cause cascading issues. Working example below: I have done a little digging but still confused as we were never educated on some of the underlying calculations that occur. In the example: PM has defined 0 ETC hours to complete on this activity. ETC cost is pulling through a large negative cost. Drilling down it appears to be an issue with Cost Elements whereby negative User Hours are posted into ETC leading to the negative ETC cost. Why do ETC hours in cost elements display differently to the main resource forecast screen? Unsure what “cost elements” are within IFS and ultimately how they are controlled and who typically within an organisation controls them. Can anyone please help shed light on this? Thanks Ian

Hi We have made use of Resource Attribute Basic Data, by creating several Resource Attributes with corresponding Resource Attribute Values. We would like to use this in custom fields on our resource, but how could this be done? We want it to be used as a persistent field, so that we can choose which of the attribute values the user wants. We ideally don't want an Enum, as it would mean two separate value list that both should be maintained, but we can’t get a reference field to work, because all the Resource Attribute Values are in 1 view, as opposed to separate view? Is this even possible? Best Regards

We have a customer which uses Project Management with Invoice Plan. The Plan Revenue is calculate but it was necessary to setup Posting Rule PRJI2. Is this the standard behaviour? Vasco Silva

Hi We get the following error on the Project History Info → Summary → Revenue after we added custom fields. In this screenshot RR Actual is a custom field, just a simple persistent number field. The field itself has no select so it cant be failing Is this an error or is it simply not intended for new fields to be added here? Best Regards

I experienced some weired values after the spreading. I have a simple spread profile with 10 intervals and 10% distribution. Consider a Forecast with 100,000 ETC. Then spread with the above profile. Check the Forecast spread details which are with wiered results. Please assist with the formula to verify the data. BR, Thushan
