hi IFS Community, I would like to know the (correct) step by step process of using an approval template to approve a project forecast and set it as Active Budget. Can someone please describe this process with some screenshots of the pages in IFS Cloud please? This is the sample DOA for reference. Value range (AUD) Project Role 0 - 10,000,000 Contract Administrator 10,000,001 - 20,000,000 CFO Above 20,000,000 Director Many thanks, Ashani

Hi, We have a business requirement to import attachments (all doc formats and JPEG, PNG, JPG, etc) into IFS Cloud work task template, functional object from an external non IFS system application. We came across FsMig Tool (File Sharing Migration Tool) which is used only to import attachments from IFS Applications to IFS Cloud. is there some tool or any better way to import attachments from other systems to IFS cloud, open to suggestions.

We recently discovered that a user received a PO line and then changed the PO line amount afterward. I was surprised to see that IFS allowed this, as I expected the system to lock the line once a receipt was processed. As a result, we now have a mismatch: the vendor tab reflects the updated amount (6,980), but the GL still shows the original amount (9,040), which makes sense since the financial postings were created at the time of receipt. My questions are: Is IFS supposed to allow changes to PO line amounts after a receipt has been made? If so, how can we prevent or restrict this in our system to avoid financial discrepancies? We’re using IFS Apps 10. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi, Can we als add Alerts to Ship Lists when Shiplist is creating and must send to specific warehouse or company? I expected this to work the same as with CS, SV and RP order. But when I set an alert on a specific to warehouse or to company, no Alert appears on the Ship List. Is this as designed or is it possible in another way. Note I am talking about Alerts not Alarms.

Cloud 24R1 - The need is Supplier Request document attachments to be brought over to the Supplier record when created from the Supplier Request. I tried creating an OCT as per the screen shot. The Supplier_ID key does exist in the SupplierRequest, but I think it's not working as it's a populated field instead of a Key field. When I run the test, it states it has “passed” however the Source Key populates with REQUEST_ID, not SUPPLIER_ID. Any solution here? Or not a feasible solution?

I want to add another option to a part configuration besides the “PMP 140” as shown in the picture. How do I add more options to choose from? (IFS APPS 10)

It is my first time using ACTION with an IFS REST Connector for Cloud in Boomi. I am specifically using the Invoke action “PromoteToObsolete” on a document. This is the Post request: https://**********************.com/main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/ManageDocuments.svc/DocIssueSet(DocClass='{DocClass}',DocNo='{DocNo}',DocSheet='{DocSheet}',DocRev='{DocRev}')/IfsApp.ManageDocuments.DocIssue_PromoteObsolete I’ve been using this forum to help me start but I think I’m stuck because I have multiple parameters that I need to pass. I am currently receiving a Bad Request so there must be something wrong with the way that I am passing the parameters. Before my Connector, I set up a “Set Property” shape of a Dynamic Process Property that contains he value that I will be using for the Bound Entity Set Parameters: After that, I connected it to my Connector. In the Dynamic Operation Properties tab, I call on the DPP that I set earlier as the Bound Entity Set Parameters. (in additional, I added t

As Part of a Service Management implementation we’re considering setting up the Service Technicians vans as a form of Mobile Warehouse but the Support documentation we’ve been able to find indicates that this is primarily intended for use in Part Searches, it makes no reference to what impact this would have on MRP If our client manages some of the items contained within warehouse type VAN, will these parts be considered when MRP runs if they are also managed on a Safety Stock or Reorder point planning basis?

What is the idea behind the possibility to set up object type structures (object type In object type). How can I use this structure in equipment object structures?

Community, Got this error, see below screenshot for MRP run. does it mean the PR generated by the system over the system allowable limit? i.e. 9999? How to fix this error? Thank you.

We are using the Advanced Planning Board to schedule resources within [certain] work centers. (The resource represents employees/workers rather than machines in our setup.) The APB tool is not loading the resource with its maximum capacity each day. Rather than loading a resource at the full 8 hours it can handle, we are seeing 4-6 hours being allocated per resource per day. Is there a setting or configuration needed per resources to achieve this? Because the resources are not scheduling to their full “potential”/capacity, the work center is also showing less 100% capacity each day (generally we are seeing around 60% capacity for the work center). We would like the APB tool to schedule these resources at their full capacity, resulting in work centers at [or close to] 100% capacity each day.

I manufacture parts that re then stored on a pallet, or in IFS speak, a Handling Unit. But when I go to ship the items on a shipment, it appears that I need a master or parent handling unit before I can attach the handling unit line items to the shipment handling unit structure. Why cannot I just reference the handling units of the parts to the shipment. For example, I may have part 22047 in 2 different handling units (603 and 604). When I create a shipment, its forcing me to add a “parent” handling unit (“Truck”) so I can then attach handling units 603 and 604. It seems and unnecessary step that I have to add already created handling units to a master handling unit on a shipment.

Hello - We are on apps10 update 25. We are looking to use the advance customer invoice to bill our customers a prepayment amount. I have been through all of the posts and see that the instant invoice has a check box to make it an advance invoice. Then at some later point, the final invoice can be connected to the advance invoice. I can not get the advance invoice to post so I assume I am missing some setup steps. Create collective vouchers is using IP19 but can not create due to unspecified errors. When I print the instant advance invoice, it is coming through as an invoice type of INSTINV with an invoice series of II. I think it should come through as invoice series AD. Also, the RMB from the instant invoice to select advance invoice is not available. Does anyone have some guidance on how to setup the basics to use the advance invoice? TIA

We have two companies, each with one site. A couple employees are transferring from one to another, and we'd like to know if there is a "best practices" we can follow to avoid complications or mistakes along the way. Specifically: 1) Shop Floor Workbench - Can a single employee, in one of the companies but with access to both, clock in/out of operations for each company? 2) Cost accounting - I believe org assignment for a given employee is the (passive) driver of directing costs to the appropriate GL. For a single person, migrated from one company to the other, do we have to create a new Employee File for them in the new company? Should we term the Employee File in the older company? Or would we want to keep the old employee file active to allow logins to SFW for Company A operations? Are there any best practices guidelines for this type of use case? Thanks.

Hi All, When we create a new command in Command Group in My Work Details page via Apps for Page Designer, the new command appears under “Actions” in Work Details page in MWO (right side in the second image). But in Work Details - IFS cloud (Apps for Page Designer) the commands are in together (first image). We cannot see any pattern there. Is there any way to get created command to the top row in MWO app instead among Actions? TIA.

We’re working with a client who wants to implement the Service Management module in IFS Cloud, but wants to use it in combination with the Service Module Work Orders. When we have a released Service Request with linked released Work Tasks, is there any way of converting the Work Task into a Work Order, or, as an alternative creating a Work Order and then linking it back to a Request in Service Management. We can create Requests in Service Management and Service/Work Requests in Service there appear to be links between them. Is it a case of we’re going to need to chose between one or the other or is there some way of being able to link the two together?

So excited to see the feature introduced to “Cancel Posted Customer Invoice” in 24R2. We use Avalara however and get this message when trying it - Avalara Sales Tax based Posted Auth invoices cannot be cancelled. Is there any workaround? Will this ability to cancel with Avalara be introduced later? Is there just a setting we need to change?

Community, Normally we do service contract invoice plan we could utilize the IFS periodic invoice parameter, but now we have a customer that would like to invoice Immdeiate, 80 days from now, 200 days from now, which is not periodic, how to make this happen in IFS service contract? We don’t see any option could do this? Thank you.

Morning, Anybody know if it is possible to block transport task/Inventory movement, accord to company/site? We don’t want our users to a site that is not part of the same company. IFS version: 24.2.4 Thanks, Gianni Neves

what could be the reasons behind not generating shop order requisitions for a next level demand part planning method (N) ?

Is it possible to block the print dialogue for Staged Billing when printing a Customer Order Confirmation? Around 30% of our Customer Orders require staged billing profiles. Currently, the global sales team has to close the additional print dialogue as we do not need to print it. Every time they print an order confirmation, IFS wants to print the staged billing too, it’s only one click, but it is tiresome for the teams and we are hoping to switch it off or make it voluntary at least.

We already reconciled the 4/1/25 bank rec. A clerk made an error and brought in another bank rec with a date of 4/1/25. IFS will not let us remove the bank rec. The error is that there are matched transactions. I believe it is from the original 4/1/25 bank rec. Is there a way to un-finalize the original 4/1/25 bank rec? Thanks

We are running Apps10 UPD19 and are having problems with our Advance Invoice printouts. This started in UPD14. When we print an Advance Invoice - if Finance overrides the default description (Prepayment) to anything else, the line item section of the invoice does not print. It goes directly from the header section to the subtotal. If Finance leaves the default text as Prepayment - the invoice prints correctly. Looking at our report archive info - IFS uses our Invoice (CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP) Report definition for Advance Invoices. When I compare the XML data for both invoices (prints correct vs. drops line item table), both appear to be correctly format XML files and the descriptive text is in the same tag (<CUSTOMER_PART_DESC>). The solution IFS support provided is to use a different report layout, except the report layout that works is an old layout with the wrong company contact info. I’m trying to figure out why my correct layout (I only have 1) works for all other invoices EXCEPT

IFS Developer Studio provides an “Application Feature” option when setting up a project. What does this mean when developing for IFS Cloud?
