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

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

As we know, the Project Navigator window in IEE contained almost everything we needed for the project. For those of us who are using Cloud21, we’ve learned that it is now split up into many windows. However, working with a customer using R1 SU7, I accidently came across a window called...wait on it...Project Navigator. However, there was nothing there - just some gray rectangles, like it is a placeholder window. Does anyone know something about this? Is there plans for a IEE-equivalent Project Navigator window in Cloud21? Thanks

Community, if I have connected a customer order to one project activity, then PMRP will create supply for it, they could be purchase order and shop order in one activity. what i would like to know is, how to split the purchase and shop order into different activity, so we have a clear picture on the cost. Thank you.

I’m using the following syntax in a saved search to filter down a list of values based on the value of a custom field CF$_PROJ_ID = :i_hWndFrame.frmRequisitionDetail_Cust.CustomField[1] However, this breaks when there are multiple custom fields and the user doesn’t have that custom field in the [1] position. Is there a way to reference the custom field by name and not the order?

Dear all, do you know a way to setup dependencies to have the start and finish date of an activity equal to the start and finish date of another? In the example below, i need to have start and finish date of activity 02-60-30_ equal to activity 02-60-20_: The idea is to only move the activity 02-60-20_ when needed and have the activity 02-60-30_ updated in consequence. Thanks a lot for your help :)

Deat All, In IFSAPP 10: When parts are recieved on a project Posting Type M1 is used to increase the Inventory and a Project ID can be added as code part to this booking. When this Parts is develiverd via a shipment the account value will be decreased. Herefor also posting type M1 is used. But no code part Project can't be given. So in time you see this for the project on an account. First after receiving the parts.: After shipment you see this on the account: Is it possible to also fill the project when you do a Shipment? Thanks in advance for the response Kind regards. RL Groener

Hello Folks, Does anyone have work instructions to setup Multi-Companies with Projects in IFS Apps. 10?

Hi. Please, I have issue with project planning… I want use MS (Master Scheduling) where I want put some ,,forecast” to manufactured part, and this MS part is connected to project activity. In Master scheduling header I try to use Create S/P Req → Create S/P from MRP option, but when I Run MS calculation and then PMRP, PMRP dont create any proposals. I know, that MS option Create S/P Req generate proposals from MS, but I need PMRP as prosals source and MS only as qty forecast purpose My goal is, that I want use combination of MS part and PMRP to create Shop Order Proposal from PMRP. Is that even possible ??? Thanks for any hint.

Hello, I work with IFS 10 and have run into sort of a systematic issue. We use PMRP (Project MRP). The issue is with spare parts calculation and engineering changes. Here is an example: Let’s say we have a parent say Part A and it needs 10 of Part D. Our system will apply a 30% spares to this requirement. So total demand is for 13. Then one day engineering has developed their designs further and determined parent Part A needs sub-assembly Part B and sub-assembly Part C. Both sub assemblies Part B and C will require Part D of 5 each. So the system will apply 30% to each individual demand of 5. 30% of 5 is 1.5 and the system will round up to 2. So total parts will be 14 instead of 13. Our intention is to order 13 of Part D. This is a simple example but obviously applying this to hundreds and thousands parts we buy you can see that it causes a lot of excess buying. Is there a way to apply sparing to say cumulative demand by part? Preferably by activity sequence? Thank you in advance.

Hi all, need your ideas on this. Following is an actual scenario faced by a customer. · There is a manufactured product (FG) where a forecast is entered in MS Level 1. There is a monthly forecast for this product. customer order for this product is connected with a project (each CO has it’s own project) Project PNG is used to plan materials for each project. · Question is how to consume the forecast by Customer Orders ? · Because once the CO is connected with a project It’s no longer considered for actual demand in MS Level 1 where Project PNG is ‘*’. (Where the forecast is entered). It’s only considered if MS Level 1 record is created with the specific Project PNG.

Hi, Is it possible for the Employee Category in the Project Navigator→ Resources→ Resource Planning tab to automatically populate with the employee category defined on the employee record when adding a new resource? For example when a user creates a new line item and enters the Resource ID the employee category for the connected employee will automatically populate.

It’s only allowed to connect DOP headers in “Created” Status with Project Activities. Why is it so ? A Customer (in APP 10) has a need to connect a Manually created DOP in progress “Unreleased, Released” with a Customer Order Line connected with a Project Activity. Message says the DOP should be connected with the Activity and connection is only allowed for DOP in Created Status.

Can we do the resource planning only using the accounting currency of the company? Or can we use multi-currencies within the project? Can different Sub- Project have different Currency as a default value?
