​ When I create a Currency Rate type with a Rate type Category of Normal, Then go to currency rates, it allows me to add sticky note. Refresh the page or navigate away from the page and back. The sticky note still appears. If I carry out the same but with a Currency Rate Type created with a Rate Type Category of PROJECT it does not keep the sticky note when refreshed or navigate away from page and back. Is there an explanation or a fix for this? It only seems to affect when Rate Type Category of PROJECT is selected???

Hi All, Is there a possibility to see a Gantt of my Project Baseline or history logs so I can compare planning details in a visual way? thanks, Kurt

Delivered customer order appear in project Unfinished Activity Work. Due to business specific, some customer order lines should be only delivered, not invoiced. Customer marks "Invoice Blocked" checkbox in line. But such situation cannot let close the project as in package there is a clause to skip Cancelled and Invoiced lines only. I know the logic behind "Invoice Blocked" that it was designed to stop invoicing temporarily and that it doesn't mean that the order line is excluded from invoicing forever. But in real business life, due to agreements, some order are only delivered and not meant to be invoiced. In such case customer marks "Invoice Blocked" but it prevents closing projects. In Project_Unfinished_Work_API in Check_Unfinished_Objects___ there is a fragment $IF (Component_Order_SYS.INSTALLED) $THEN IF (rec_.proj_lu_name = 'COLINE' AND Customer_Order_Line_API.Get_Objstate(rec_.keyref1, rec_.keyref2, rec_.keyref3, rec_.keyref4) IN ('Invoiced', 'Cancelled')) THEN CONTINUE; END IF

Hi, How can I prevent output from users? I couldn't find it in the permission set, can you help? Can I remove the output part? Best regards Mervan

Hi, Users have exit authority. However, I do not want them to use this feature on some screens. Is this possible? for example, There is authorization on the business lead screen. I just want to prevent it from outputting on this screen Best regards, Mervan

Hi, I have a big problem, Data comes very slowly on the Company person screen. When I examined the View, I found that the reason for the slowness was some APIs. Is there any other way to speed this up? note: The query marked in red is causing slowness. Best regards Mervan

Hi Team, Could be possible create a new project copying from other (used as template) including in the copy the workorders related to each activity ?? Obviously creating new workorders, equivalent to those of the template project. The intention is avoid a process of: Copy of Project and Activities Copy of WorkOrders. Connect manually one by one, the new workorders, to the activities of the new project. Any idea to simplify this process? Thanks!

I find that having Project Deliverables Materials and Sevices and Project Deliverables Design in 2 separate pages is very tedious and inefficient when setting up a deliverable structure. There is a great deal of shared functionality between these two pages. Does anyone disagree that having them in a single page would be a better design? Patrick

Please let me know what conditions needs to be fulfilled in order to get 'Project invoice' option enabled. Thank you.

Hi Guys, Please let me update about the Processing Reburdening with in IFS Application. Thanks and Regards Vinnakota

Hello, Does anyone have information on where I can get documentation on how the Projects module works? Any videos, white papers, etc. would be great! Thank you, Mark

We are creating multi-line purchase requisitions from the Project Demand to Project Supply. We need to pre-post the account on the purchase requisition line. Is there a way to set multiple lines at once? Some of these requisitions have 20-30 lines and setting them one at a time is very tedious.

In IFS Cloud, the page Project Transactions opens with 'Recent transactions’ switched on. As a result, only transactions with a date 30 days before or 30 days after today are fetched. Is there a way to have this options switched off by default? Maybe as part of page configurator? Is there a way to set the number of days that be considered when switched on?

Customer Order should not be released until the Project is created for that customer order. please share your solution on this case. Thanks.

When the user is trying to close the project, they can see the following. There are 2 POCOs, both in ‘POUpdated’ status with regards to the original PO. What must be done? Please advise.

Like a lot of you we are using IFS for managing and maintaining the delivery of our Projects. In IFS we build up the project cost using hours (x number of hours at a set grade = cost to the business) however when we come to do the forecast, either updating the ETC/EAC on the activity line or on a project forecast, the system asks for a monetary value. So, if you’ve got a 200 hour activity made up of 3 different grades and you’ve booked 80 hours in total (a mix of the 3 grades), how do you calculate what the cost to complete is (without using a separate spreadsheet to do the calculations) ? Simple if everything is on track, baseline cost minus actual cost equals cost to complete. Not so simple when you’re are going to need more hours than planned to complete the activity. Currently the only solution I can see is to do the calculations separately to IFS and then input the values into the ETC field, this isn’t an ideal solution and does defeat some of the benefits of having an integrated

can't change early finish date of an Activity, although we had modified the required dates on all the existing demands to be in line with the desired finish date

Hi, I am trying to get the Cost % progress on an activity on a Project to copy across to the Project Progress on an Application for payment but the % it pulls through isn’t as expected. I am assuming there are some setups that are incorrect to allow it to work correctly. Please can any advise on the attached that would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I have some questions / issues regarding PMRP. I hope someone could comment it or give me advice.Or maybe also someone from IFS could determine if these are bugs and should be fixed. Customer has reported recently negative projected quantity in Inventory Part Availability Planning after PMRP run.After further analysis we have found, that it was due to shop order receipt during PMRP execution.Below is the screenshot from TEST after recreaction of such situation. As you can see below in Pmrp_Plan_Snapshot_Api there are snapshots created one by oneAnd when you receive shop order during Snapshot_Shop_Order__ and before Snapshot_Inventory__ it will lead to situation when quantities from shop_orders are not match to inventory ones.Due to heavy data volume, snapshot of shop orders takes approx. 10 minutes. So there is a big chance, that someone will receive shop orders during that time. Customer company is working 24hr/day, 7 day a week. PMRP is being executed daily, usually at evening, b

Trying to manage delay events in IFS project module to avoid using a third party application such as claims management Studio “CMS” See below. Is there a way to customize IFS to address a similar feature. I was thinking creating a sub project with activities for all delay events. And eventually using this information to generate claims. anyone come across a similar case

We are using both the maintenance module and the project module for planning resources (hours, not cost) in our company. Due to how our company is organized, we prefer to group planning hours by organization code, and not by resource group. We connect work tasks to some projects, and group all planning hours by organization code added to that specific work task. Some hours are planned directly on activities in the project module by resource group, but we are not able to find the organization code those hours are connected to in the activity section. Does anyone know if there is a solution for this issue?

Hi everyone, Can anyone provide with explanation how PNG works? I would like to get more knowledge when useage is profitable, what are prerequisites - but from practical perspective. I will be greatful for business cases with consclusions that describes strenghts and weakneses of this solution. This is a starting point but I am curios if I can apply to the solution for my current client. I think topic will develop. Many thanks

We are in the process of setting up a project template (with standard WBS, report codes, etc.). When copying a project/sub-project (within the same company), users are able to carry over a lot of relevant information (at either project level or activity level). However, there is no way to carry over information from access definition (where you grant a project team access to a project/sub-project). Is there a way to copy information from access definition when copying a project or a sub-project? If not, any idea if it is planned in future releases? Notes: Projects/Sub-projects are within the same company The teams having access to the projects are discipline related (e.g. project management, engineering, workshop, installation etc.). Some have access to the whole project while others only have access to specific sub-projects.

Hi, In IFS Application 9, is there a way to update all project transactions where the Resource ID is missing? We tried “Refresh Project Connections” but this didn’t update the missing information. (It is about employees not connected to a resource group at the time the project transactions was created. This means the hours don’t have a price). Best regards Anita

I want to monitor various costs derived from postings of transactions (purchase order, shop order etc.) for a specific material in a specific project. This material is defined in project product items as well. I considered creating a specific activity in WBS for this purpose, and I suppose I need to use code part values and cost elements in this process, so tried to match a cost element (materials in this case) with a relevant code part (MaterialG) using PCE Code Part tab, but I cannot figure out how to assign the code part value to material so that it can derive the cost. I maybe going in a very wrong way, and appreciate any ideas.
