Error: Resource Activity Sequence / Measurement for Object

  Hi everyone,I have encountered an error while working with the measurement for the object page, and I'm unsure about the meaning and generation of the "Activity Sequence number." Additionally, I have identified 19 records that are missing in the RESOURCE_ACTIVITY_tab. I'm curious to know the relationship between the Measurement for Object page and the Resource Activity table. Moreover, I would like to understand how to resolve this error and determine its root cause.To identify missing records I used the following query:SELECT * FROM pm_resource_activity_tab tWHERE NOT EXISTS (    SELECT 1 FROM RESOURCE_ACTIVITY_tab    WHERE RESOURCE_ACTIVITY_SEQ = t.RESOURCE_ACTIVITY_SEQ

Users are able to change project ID on Authorized Days

Hi,We have set the below company properties to restrict employees editing their project time reporting after time card is authorized. In this example, particular Cost Accounting box in Project Transactions is set to ‘Approved’ automatically for particular employee since his time card on 19.01.2023 is authorized. However, employee is not allowed to edit time reporting (hours), but he is able to change the project ID, activity or report code on particular date even though his time card is authorized.  How can we restrict this? Is there a setup or control? Please advise. Thank you and Best RegardsNimesh

Activity Estimate removed, but still showing in Hours tab

This is in relation to Apps 10.From within the same Project, I copied an activity to create a new activity.  In the Estimate tab, the estimated hours copied over to this new activity.  I deleted this line in the Estimate tab because it wasn’t needed.  However, the estimated hours are still remaining in the Hours tab (below).  I cannot modify this line.  Is there a way, other than going in the backend to remove this?  It seems to be stuck in a loop.  Is this a bug?  Any advice or suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks!

Connect to Parents

IDEA: In both Apps10 EE and Apps10 Aurena you can only connect a resource individual to one parent resource at a time. Is it possible to develop a way to connect to multiple parent resources to remove the need to repeat the connection process?In Apps10 EE you can only enter one resource into the Resource ID box.This works the same in AurenaAdding them in the resource navigator screen also only allows for the employee to be connected to each parent individually.Thanks

Connect a resource individual to more than one parent resource

We have each engineer set up as a resource in IFS and then connect them to multiple parent resources. These parent resources relate to individual jobs meaning that the PSO will send them these type of jobs only. E.g. a Gas engineer will only be allocated Gas related jobs and no others.When connecting an engineer to a parent resource in both Apps10 and Aurena, we can only connect them one at a time. You have to repeat the following process for each connection in Apps10 And this process for each connection in AurenaIs there a way to connect a resource individual to more than one parent resource group avoiding repeating the above process? Or is there an option to setup a template whereby we can link an employee to multiple parent resources in one go? Thanks

Stop completed contract change orders appear in new project forecasts

Is there a way in core functionality to have the completed Contract Change Orders be excluded from appearing in new Project Forecasts? Customer concern (APPS10):“When a contract change order is completed, we would no longer want to see the contract values in the new forecasts. For some reason, these old CCO's are still showing values in the forecast and are muddying to numbers in the forecast reports. Can you please inform us how we can overcome this issue?”

Is IFS able to restrict project time entry to specified individuals ?

I think the answer is probably going to be no but you never know so I’ll ask anyway.In the same company we have two distinct business units that both use projects but in the same way. Lets call them business unit A and business unit B. Both business units have different sets of engineers assigned to them. Business unit A wants to prohibit engineers from business unit B from booking time to projects belonging to business unit A.. We thought about using project access on but that casts too wide a net and would impact common support groups like purchasing and finance that support both business units which would make the access groups painful to continually maintain. We were hoping at the time entry level there was an easy way to make projects (or sub projects, or activities for that matter) invisible to those engineers that shouldn’t be able to book time to them..

Project Baseline Cost summary has included on cancelled activity

We have a project where cost breakdown is like mentioned above. When we checked the baseline there’s an extra $26,826.58 in cost that doesn’t show under project connections. That extra $26,826.58 has come from an Activity which is in Cancelled state.  Can a cancelled Activity have a baseline cost? There is no planned/estimated cost.  I tried to add it on the estimate tab, rebaseline, delete, then rebaseline but I can’t because the activity is cancelled.  Simply rebaselining does not fix it.

INC0451258-Project Forecast, B&F Actuals must not be recalculated based on B&F rate.

Within the business of one of our customers, it is common to agree with the customer to send invoices in an currency other than the accounting currency. As example, Hong Kong office has as accounting currency HKD (Hong Kong Dollar) while the contract to invoice is in CNY (Chinese renminbi). Employees from Hong Kong will report their time and cost in the accounting currency and then there are also subcontractors involved which send their invoices in EUR (Euro) and USD (US Dollar).When the contract is signed the budget is also signed. So company is creating the budget in those different currencies for both cost and revenue.Now it is expecting to see it the ETC, EAC and Actuals in Base Currency where the actuals in the Project Forecast are based on the information in the transactions (Vouchers). And that the ETC is recalculated by first taking the EAC from previous Forecast then subtract the actuals. And that the ETC is based on the B&F Rate.But now the problem is that “Used Base Curr

In project Resource allocation, hours allocated to individuals' do not add up to the total hours shown in resource group level.

A resource group has four employees connected. All employees have 8 hour schedule per day. But the total numbers of hours per day of the resource group also shows 8. Shouldn’t it be 32 hours? It does not get updated although ‘Calculate Resource Capacity’ is run. How to get this corrected?Individual hours per day. Four individuals set as this. Resource group also shows only 8 hours per day
