Just the like the title says, is there a way to reserve and issue material to a shop order from one activity simply by having it in the same PNG without having to do the overhead of a MTR.

Hello Community,I am currently working on the setup of cost and revenue elements in IFS and I would like to clarify the best practice between two possible approaches: Marking the "Account" dimension as basCost/Revenue Element In this case, the general ledger account itself is used directly as a cost or revenue element   Creating a dedicated Analytical Segment for Cost/Revenue Elemen My question is : From your experience, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach in IFS?Any guidance or lessons learned from your implementations would be highly appreciated.Thank you!

Hello folks,I have a concern regarding the Contract Change Orders (CCO) functionality in IFS Cloud. In a CCO, when you add a line, I am unable to see the connected project information. Since the CCO is originating from the sales contract, I would imagine that the project/sub project/activity connected to the sales contract should be automatically fetched to the CCO line as well. Otherwise the user will always have to enter this information manually which is not a good user experience IMO. (Please see the attached screenshot). Why is this functionality built this way? Is there any particular reason why the project information is not automatically fetched to the CCO line or can this be improved ?Kind regards,Ashani 

Is anyone experiencing problems saving shortcuts in project time posting after the 24R2 update in cloud? Our user saves the shortcut, but it disappears the next day. 

Hi When we terminate employment on IFS Cloud the resource still remains active in the resource groups on the resource structure. Only the resource capacity validity period is updated on the termination but the resource can still be allocated to projects. Yes the system gives a warning that the employee is terminated but its still available. Also the employee/resource is not removed from the existing project allocations. How can we get the termination to remove the resource or deactivate it?

The parameters Start date, End Date van Voucher Date in the Run Task ‘Transfer Project Cost Accounting transactions’ are derived from the previous accounting period.If I run the task today (28-7-2025) IFS sets the Voucher Date to the end date of the previous period, being 30-6-2025: Is it possible for IFS (Apps10) to default fill the Voucher Date with today's date?

Issue:Enabling Specific Invoice Numbering Sequence for Automatic Supplier Invoices generated through Subcontracting Self-Billing Invoices. Business Impact:Customers are currently blocked on this issue, since if they use self-billing on the subcontracting contract section, it has become a requirement for some customers to fetch specific invoice numbering sequence per supplier. Pre-requisites:Define a specific Invoice Type and an Invoice Series for Supplier: S003 in Supplier Invoice Types page in Company: P10 (Project Manufacturing Enterprises) in IFSCLOUD / 23R2 Core / REGIONAL TEST CMB environment.Invoice Series ID: S003 (Description: Automatic Supplier Invoice for Supplier S003) with Number Series added;          Invoice Type: S003 (Description: Automatic Supplier Invoice for Supplier S003) connected to Invoice Series: S003Go to the selected Supplier: S003 -> Go to

In Project Deliverable flow, I’m trying to create Shipment Plan for Condition code enabled part.the System prompt an error saying, “It is not allow to create Shipment Plans for parts with condition code enabled.”It seems the flow is intentionally prevented.If so, appreciate a proper approach for delivering condition code enabled part via project del flow.

I know it seems counter-intuitive but does anyone know of a way to restrict project activity to Time Reporting only - ie disallow raising POs, SO etc?   I know there is the allow/disallow on Manual Connections but that only works when trying to connect an object created outside of the project.  It doesn’t stop objects created within the project from being created. I’m wondering if going down the Indirect Jobs route might be a better option?  Any thoughts/suggestions gratefully received.  ThanksLinda 

Hi All, I want to know if there is a way to control the project budget for man power. When there are new recruitments to be made on behalf of the project through Recruitment Requisitions is there a possible control for this in the standard functionality. Thank you.Chandima.

Create Shipment plan for part with Condition Code enabled. The Condition Code setting is very important for structure items that will be processed in the subsequent MRO process.The IFS Shipment as a business object takes this part property into account, so the only missing step is this:IFS Project Deliverables Item --> IFS Shipment Plan --> IFS Shipment Line Steps to Reproduce:1) Created a Product Structure of having a Manufacturing part (SN-MP) & Purchase Part (SN-PP) and make it buildable. And enabled the SN-PP for condition code. 2) Created a Project in Project Definition (SN-MODELA) and included Sub Project (SN-A) and Activity (SN-A1) and approved the Project. 3) Navigated to Project Deliverables Definition and created a new Project Deliverables (SN-MODEL-PDD)4) Navigate to Project Deliverables Design and include Component (SN-MP) and under defaults include the Activity. 5) In Project Deliverables Design under c

Where in IFS Apps10 can you enter a practical completion date for a construction project? 

Does anyone know of any good rresources for training on the BPA Workflow? There was a good resource on Youtube from the IFS community, but this seems to have disapeared, does anyone know what has happened to this? Thanks, Stuart

Sales Contract requires Customer Delivery Delivery address for Tax defintion - suggest  support  for countries/Tax beyond  India Localization.Customers in ECI using Sales Contracts and Project Invoicing have a need to define the Taxing delivery address by contract. This is being reviewed as a CRIM by a customer in the US. On review with Global presales and looking at the roadmap I noticed this function fundamentally exists for India Tax Localization. Several of us have reviewed this along side the CRIM specification - included Project R&S and they are very similar. The requirement is not limited to Sales Contracts Tax reqs in India  but applicable to Sales Tax , GST and VAT tax based regimes and countries.The concentp means applying an address details tab on the contract that calls deleivery address and tax rules from customer master - so we can define the taxing rule on that contract for that address. The Tax rules would be ch

I'm on APP10. In the Resource Analysis view,  the bars in the stacked bar chart are divided into 2 parts: the chosen project and everything else combined. So, if you select ≥3 projects, you won't be able to distinguish all projects by colour coding.Is it possible to show the resource allocation of all projects associated with a resource group in APP10? How about Cloud? 

About a year ago we switched to using Project Inventory vs Standard and PMRP per Project PNG. While this fixed some challenges we were having it’s caused some new ones and wondering if there is a middle ground. We don’t want to get rid of the use of project inventory and the kind of soft reservation that it gives you. With PMRP it’s generating Purchase Reqs for each individual activity and not really being able to aggregate the demand together from all sources and effectively use planning method A or G. This causes individual lines on the PO which the vendors are not fond of and due to industry regulations require it to be treaded as separate lots with corresponding testing and paperwork.Ideally I think we want all demand to be funneled through MRP and when the inventory comes in and has been inspected, to have MTRs generated to move it to project inventory. Even better would be to automatically move it to project inventory.We are currently on Apps10 Update 22

Hi,I have enabled Project Budget Control settings as below for the Project and setup the Project Budget Control consumption checkpoint as Create Purchase Requisition Line. When I created a project supply request that exceeding the budget it does not block creation of the Purchase Requisition. But when I tried Create Purchase order line and Release Purchase order line as consumption check point this budget control option is working.Is there any reason for this?

Hi IFS! Is there a way for IFS users to provide feedback within IFS after successfully completing something? My product team is configuring IFS to enable our end users to complete their work in a better process than before. We would like to capture their feedback on completing their work in IFS right after they successfully complete a something, so that we can get their feedback while it’s fresh in their minds, and can configure IFS to better meet their needs. I am envisioning some kind of side panel, small window, or modal that prompts users to give a brief rating or description of their experience completing their work. Please see below examples to illustrate what I mean. Does anything like this exist today in IFS? Is there anything we can leverage that can meet our need?

Hello to all,we are going to update from 23R2 SU17 to 25R1. Now we have a fresh 25R1 installation, and we are testing it on our data. We know resource assignment has been made more flexible, apart from the person resource type, the other resource types are supported in 25R1 and can be assigned to a project activity.To date, our users have utilized the Project Employee Allocations screen to manage these allocations. Now we can see that the Project Employee Allocation screen is discontinued. The same is true with the Resource Shift Pattern Mapping page.Are there any replacements for these two screens in 25R1?Thank you very muchBest regardsAntonin

Hello, We use part demands on a project module. We want that received parts will be issued automatically with no further actions to be made by the users.  Is it possible to make this action automatic ? Best regards

Hi, I am exploring the possibilties in Business Reporter to get a view on how a project forecast is spread per year and month (preferably by sub project and activity too). I’ve trying to get these values by using the datasources that are available, but can’t seem to get the desired result.Does anyone has experience with this, and point me in the right direction? (I’m using product version 22.1.1)

Hi folks, I have a customer requirement to bring the labour hours in to the monthly review forecast, as they evaluate the labour requirements in hours.  What is the easiest/best way to achieve this requirement ? The option I was thinking of was to use a combination of resource planning + resource forecasting functionality. Plan resources against each of the project activities and enter the planned hours.  Employees report time using these activities.  Create a resource forecast on a monthly basis that would generate the ETC hours and EAC hours. (this also shows the dollar values corresponding to the ETC hours/EAC hours) Create the monthly review forecast and in that, include the resource forecast created above. This would update EAC and ETC based on the resource hours as well. Just wondering if there is a simpler way to achieve this requirement. Thank you,Ash

Hi.I have a doubt related to Valuations in SubContract (IFSCloud 24R1)I have an item with a Quantity, Item Rate, Value and Value Adjusted (the Calculation Method is Rate Only and the Valuation Method is Quantity) When I going to certificate I introduce the quantity, not the value in euros, and the system multiply this Quantity by the Item Rate. In the following screenshot I show the contract qty, contract item rate and Value field, but this Value field is the Value Adjusted of my subcontract, so the ‘new’ Item Rate should be equals: Value / Contract Qty.So, as you can see, if I enter 1 unit in Valuation Value field

Hello Community, I am getting the following error while creating creating sub contract valuation.After investigation i found out when the application value is same “This certification net value” field comes as 0 and this error appears. What the way to overcome this error.  

Hi Team We have 2 MCPR transactions on which we are unable to transfer the cost to the customer company. When we create new transactions and transfer the cost on those projects everthing works fine.Only 2 transactions are stuck. We compared with other transactions which are working fine, everything looks fine with transactions in error. Still, it gives an error in the background job as “Notice the background job has ended with an Error “No transactions to create cost accounting for                    ORA-20110: PrelInvoicePosting.NOACCTRANS” There are corrections for these two transactions.I tried to replicate this using the steps in the below community post, and no luck.I raised this with IFS, and they have little help since they cannot replicate in the core environment.According to my gut feeling, this should be able t
