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

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 m

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.  

hi, i have a event action on “PROJECT_TRANSACTION_TAB”.i want to update :NEW.REPORT_COST_CODE value but icant do it.i think standart oracle trigger syntax wont work.how can i do it? thanks 

Dear Community,I am trying to create some custom fields in the screen Project Navigator (tab Cost) and get an error message. We use IFS Apps9.Does this mean it is not allowed to create custom fields in this scree? Thank you

Hi, Is there any workaround to add custom fields on a LU that says “The LU does not have a base table or view”?  It was possible to add CF on Project Connections screen in App9. Once the customer has upgraded from App9 to App10, they have come across this limitation.Any advice would be helpful.Thanks in advance!

HI Allin the project navigator, under the revenue TAB there is a field called Posted & Actual revenue.Understanding is that this will be updated as actual project transactions are added and then authorized (for example: logged time or expenses).Both fields are not currently being updated and wanted to validate my understanding with the community.Any feedback that would be helpful would be much appreciated? 

When clicking on "Receive Order Handling", an error message appears "Customer should be defined for the supplier". We checked every setting we could have thought of, seems to be all set. However, CRO cannot be processed.Can anyone help me on this regards. 

Can we see the all the projects details in IFS Aurena 21R1/R2 cloud ..though we have not created the projects or part of the project team. RegardsSujeeth S

Hello,We are using Apps 10, UPD9. We need to reserve project inventory to work tasks on our outages. We moved standard inventory into project inventory to keep the inventory reserved to the engagement. When we attempt to reserve the project inventory to the work order, it will not let us reserve this. It is causing us to have a halt in our repairs by not being able to reserve. We have set the material lines as project inventory, we can see the qty on hand in the project, but when we try to RMB reserve inventory that option is greyed out for us. We currently have a work around to move it to std inventory to reserve while the work order is connected to a project. But this is VERY painful.Does anyone know if there is a step we might be missing?  This print screen shows the work order connection to

I have extended the calendar for another 10 years, however I don’t recall how to update the current maintenance plan in the existing PM Actions. Do I need to generate a new calendar or can I use the existing one? How far out can you set this calendar, 5, 10 or as much as 20 years? Thank you for your assistance.
