Hi Client1028, the “Connect Object” Function is used to connect the Change Order to other business objects. Example: You make a change request for changing some information at a specific part. In this case it would make sense to connect the master part and/or the inventory parts to the change request. If you would like to connect documents to the change request you should use the attachment panel at the bottom of the mask and button “new" for a new document and button "connect" for connection an already existing IFS document.

Ah, now I understand. The reason there is a difference is that, before we had OCT (Object Connection Transformation), we had code, in different product areas, that added extra links between related records and documents. So, in your case, there were code in the purchase order functionality that would copy any document links to the purchase order lines, at some point. So, the link (or connection, as we say) was really there, in the database table. Therefore, you could also see the connection from the Document Revision screen. One drawback of the old approach was that it was up to R&D to make sure to copy these links wherever we thought it was useful. The customer could not get these links copied if they wanted. With OCT, this changed. Now a lot of the old code was replaced by OCT rules that would to more or less the same thing, except that there is no copying going on. Instead of copying the links, the system finds “related” documents at runtime instead. There are some drawbacks wi
Hi Matthias, thank you for your response :-) I make an example: Connect a new document to purchase part “ABC1" Go with RMB to the document revision of this new document Look at the tab “object” one object connection is shown: purchase part “ABC1” create a new purchase order line for part “ABC1” Look at the attached documents Your document is shown at the purchase order line (because of object transformation) Go with RMB to document revision Look at the tab “object” still only one object connection is shown: purchase part “ABC1”. The purchase order line is not shown. In old versions of IFS the purchase order line was shown. I am wondering why it has changed. There must be some benefits. Thank you and best regards, Sarah
Ok. And have you created a new forecast afterwards? Or have you used function “live view”? wile creating the first forecast?
Hi, if you do the transactions are the costs shown in the project navigator at tab costs? Best regards, Sarah
thank you! after seeing the screenshot I understand the meaning of the help text ;-)
I did this once, but I think the customized F1help will be automatically overwritten, if there is a new delivery regarding the F1help (for example because of bug fixes delivered with an upgrade).
In Apps 10, there is also functionality to suggest a certain document class, based on the object type (LU), when creating a new document from the attachment panel. Have a look at the screen Document Object Connection Default Values. Also make sure to read the documentation that explains how it works. I also meant what Sarah posted about above, but I misremembered the place where we can configure this :) your mentioned basic data is also great :-) But it controls other things. It sure does, and they control very much “related things”. Since I designed and developed both of these myself, seems I even have confused myself with the naming… :) Great work :-)
Hi, you write you would like to attach documents and show them in the connected target LU. At the screenshot you entered the service “MediaLibary”. MediaLibary means, that you connect a media item at the source LU and the media item will be shown at the target LU. For documents you must chose a different service. Maybe this is only a small configuration mistake? Best regards, Sarah

Without using an event you cannot configure, if a document class can be used in several LU or only in specific LU. But you can define the default document class per LU and even with considering the content of the keys of the LU in the mask “Document Basic” at tab "Document Defaults per Object"
@Björn Hultgren This would mean, that only one component lot per shop order is allowed, right? I am searching for: onky one component lot per parent assembly. Because if I produce 2 pieces of parent part I need 2 ropes with each 40 m. The 2 ropes can be from different lots.
I am facing this problem often. My answer is always: the information must be transported outside of IFS. Because the problem is not only the information about the needed quantity, but also about the reservation and disposition. Example: You have coils with rope in your storage. Some coils have 100 m and some 500 m. The parts are handled with lot/batches. Therefore you have two lines in your inventory: one with 500m and one with 100 m. The batch with 100m is the oldest batch. You always cut the rope from the coil if you need it. After a few days you have one coil with 30 m and one coil with 500 m. If you create now a shop order which needs 40 m per assembly, you cannot take the first batch, you must take the second batch. But the automatic reservation is going to reserve 30 m of the first batch and 10 m of the second batch. This means someone must cancel the reservation manually or you must use pick by choice with pick list. But it gets worse. If the second coil also only contains only
