Hi, Can anyone explain the possibility of creating a demand with a revenue number on an activity without CO flow in a Project. Regards, Rasfe.

Hello, I have run into an issue with a hung POR in an Authorized (not closed state). Unfortunately, I was made aware too late and the project and activity have been closed for a long time. At this point, I am unable to cancel the POR, or disconnect the POR from the project. I’m looking for some way to resolve this, but I have found nothing. Hoping someone has seen this before and can provide some guidance. Thank you!

Hello IFS Community, I would like to know more about the different options under the Sales Contract Invoice Method field in IFS Cloud. I see that there are multiple options here but I would like to know about these 2 options in particular: Direct Invoice Invoice After Payment. Can someone please explain what they mean and when they should be used? Many thanks!

Hello IFS Community, I have a customer who has a requirement to update all of their cost elements and then reflect the new cost elements in their projects + forecasts. Is there a recommended way to do this? or has anyone done this sort of an exercise before? I am aware of the “Refresh project connections” functionality, so wondering if that can be used for this purpose. Would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you!

Hi Team, Have a client requirement for creating Project Forecast/Budget on an Annual Basis but do not find any option in Project Forecast window where I can set up the Accounting Period Start Date & Accounting Period End Date for the specific Project Forecast/Budget which will indicate this Project Forecast/Budget for the specific accounting year. Request you to please let me know if this can be possible or do we need to go for CRIM? Do we have a workaround for this? Best Regards, Rakesh

Community, We are on APP10 UPD 9. Recently we had a testing on Purchase Order Authorization Rule for project, and seems like it does not working. below PO line is inherited from project PR, and it does have project connected on the PO line, but when it is being released, the expected PO rule is not fetched. below PO rule DEREG is the expected rule. Does anyone has experience on this? is this a bug?

Hi, Our testing (IFS Cloud 23R2) showed that a project with several subprojects can’t be completed at once. Instead each subproject has to be closed seperately. Is this standard behavior or am I missing something? According to the verbal documentation it sounds like it would be possible anyway but looking at the process chart makes us assume it isn’t. Thanks,Volker

Hello, Table PROJECT_SNAPSHOT_DATA_TAB has over 66 000 000 rows. How to disable snapshot project? Where is parameter for this ? How to delete data from PROJECT_SNAPSHOT_DATA_TAB? I tried from applications but no results.

Hi Community, I’m looking for the system effects on project MTR with ‘Netting’ trasfer type. I follows the below scenario:1. Set the below Project and Activity Y - Part 1 Project A - Subproject X - Activity Y - Generate PR and PO for ‘Part’1 based on planned on Project Master Schedule 2. Set Activity Z, the below Porject Deliverble on Activity Z and run PMRP for the Part 1 Project A - Subproject X - Activity Y - Generate PR and PO for ‘Part’1 based on planned on Project Master Schedule Activity Z - Set ‘Part 1’ on Project deverable and run PMRP 3. Project MTR with ‘Netting’ trasfer type was automatically generated described as below picture after running PMRP because only Aactivity is different between Activity Y and Activity Z for Part 1 Question: what is the system effects on project MTR with ‘Netting’ trasfer type? After this MTR is generated, there is no impct on inventory transactions and material plans of Project Deliverbles Materials and Services for Activity Z. If there is mate

Hi, I have my project in the project view as already in Completed State. How can we create a migraton job to complete the project in the finance closing? So that I can change the status to Completed. Thanks in advance/Thean Mozhi

Hi All, I’ve an issue that I’m not able to understand: i systematically have a gap between the part unit cost and the panned cost on a project. The cost of raw materials (prod structure) is missing In this example we can constat the issue between a customer order and a project: But i have the same problem withshop orders and misc demands, Does anyone has an idea about this issue? Thanks in advance :) Antoine

Hi everyone, I've noticed that the cost element in the item request lines in the project materials and Services doesn't go up automatically for items with a price of 0 in Supplier for purchase part. In this first example, i’ve setup a price 1£ in the supplier for purchase part for the part H000001 with the supplier 1120031. Then, i add a new lines in the Project materials and Services and when i ask the cost element in the lines, it’s coming up automatically. In this second example, i’ve setup a price 0£ in the supplier for purchase part for the part H000001 with the supplier 1000055. Then, i add a new lines in the Project materials and Services and when i ask the cost element in the lines, it’s don’t coming up automatically. So my question is whether it's possible to automatically raise the cost element on the line with a price of 0 in supplier for purchase part. If it is possible, can you tell me what to do?Thank you very much.

Hello, I have a question about the project baseline history. My client has this view in the 7.5 version where he can find all the baseline definition versions In the cloud version the only log type i see is the pre-baseline. Is there any setup i am missing ? Best regards

Hi does anyone know? I tried to cancel a supply request, but it said I cannot do that because I have a shop order connected to it. Then I tried to close the SO, and try again, it has the same error message. Does anyone know how I can cancel the supply request after a SO is created? I tried close the SO, but it still does not allow me to cancel the supply. then my question is how can I create another new SO in another site to cover this Supply request? Pls advise. Pls see the attached.

Hi Community, When working on a project, is it possible to reserve materials from standard inventory and completely bypass using project inventory? My objective is to use a project-connected shop order and source the sub-components directly from the standard inventory. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Community, In IFS V10, how can I close a WBS project connected with a sales contract with an unpaid customer invoice? For capitalization, I must close project after invoicing (and not after customer payement). Thanks for your help

When we partially invoice the sub-contract valuations in MSI window, it is allowed us to invoice more than the certified amount of the sub-con valuation. And even though we exceed the certified amount and invoiced, the invoicing status is shown as “Partially Invoiced”. As per the IFS, this is their standard solution, but i strongly disagree with them for this statement. Seems like they have not captured this particular scenario in the development. Any one have any idea about this?

Hello All, I’m working with a Customer on the following: Planned Netting Groups have been set up and they run Project MRP. Both project require the same part number, which results in a single Purchase Requisition being created for the part. (This is great!) A Material Transfer Request is also created to transfer the required quantity to the other project. This is shown in Inv Part Availability Planning window. (This is also great!) The downside is that ALL of the Inventory Cost is shown on the single project for “Planned Committed Cost” See screenshot: And none of Inventory Cost is shown on the other project in the Planned Committed Cost. See screenshot: BUT IPAP Window shows the MTR request. Why doesn’t it transfer the cost to the Planned Committed Cost field to the correct project? Thank you, Alex

Hi All, Greetings. Project Connected Work Orders will be used. I want to know whether standard application (Apps 10 UPD 15) supports project budget control on Work Order Transaction like Time reporting cost and material issues based on Project budget defined on Cost/Revenue Elements. I have tested the scenario, planned cost does not get loaded on the project activity and once the GL is updated the cost gets updated as Used cost directly once work task transactions are authorized and transferred. The requirement is to control the cost at Time Reporting stage initially without configuration/modification. In below screenshot budget for internal labour cost element (3000) is 5000, where as application allows excessive time reporting of value 11380. Note: Project Time reporting functionality is not required. Below is F1 Documentation which says planned cost will not be updated onto project but will be held by work order only. Planned Committed stage, only hours will be updated on project ac

When releasing a connected PO on a Project, a committed cost is shown as PO value but no Object Progress (It is 0%). However, Actual Start Date of the activity is fetched automatically when PO is released. Is that possible? Or is there a way to stop setting Actual Start date automatically when PO is released?

Both the Planning and Employee Allocation tabs of Activity Resource Planning have a field labelled Report Code. It is not insertable or updateable on either of these tabs and always has the value of %. While training, I could not explain to our customer what it it is used for in this context or why it is there. There is no field description that might help. The page help is useless. Miight there be someone who has an answer for this? Thank you. Patrick PS: No need to explaing to me what a Report Code is, that’s basic and well understood.

In Apps 9, and Apps 10 we used to have good field level help for the many fields that are used on the Project Peformance Analysis. It gave the formulas for values like BAWC and the SPI and CPI values (among many others). Those prized bits of information are not in any of the newer versions, as far as I can tell. I remember material that I wish I’d saved that had a graph of the project costs versus time and it illustrate how the schedule vairance and cost variance cause the IEAC to change. I’m hoping that someone may have some of this old material and can forward it to me or add it to this topic. Thank you. Patrick

I’m struggling with getting the Resource Analysis screen to behave. This is the analysis of my person group. The capacity starts today, which is the day I’ve run the Refresh Snapshot. (See attachment named Resource Analysis for a Person Group Resource.png. If I look at the Resource Analysis for the individual who is assigned to the Project Manager person group, I get the expected result. (See attachment named Resource Analysis for a Person Resource.png) I have the Resource Analysis Demand Snapshot set to a -30 day start offset and the Resource Schedules and Capacity set to a -100 day start offset. Automatic Calculation is ON. Might anyone have a clue as to why the snapshot for the person group is different than the snapshot for a person?

We need to get the long lead time no part materials ordered that are attached to the WO on a project activity. Our labor resources are also attached to the same activity and WO. If the activity starts a year early because of the PO release, then the labor resources will get spread out over a longer period that isn’t representative of the actual labor resource consumption. On the scheduling side of things, we have a lot of our activities linked to each other so the activity releasing early because of the PO can have an impact on scheduling as well. However, when releasing the PO, activity does get started automatically. Is there a way to stop this happening?

Hello everyone, I've come across the 'Propose Project Transaction' checkbox when creating a project. Could someone explain the functionality and typical usage of this feature within IFS? Thanks and Regards, Navoda
