We recently performed a reconfigure on our middleware server to apply a new security certificate.Since then, our clients display a warning message when printing a quick report.  It says “Client has requested to run in invalid local ‘en-US’.  English, ‘en-US’ will be used instead.  Correct your Locale Setting.You can click OK on this message and the quick report comes up and it can be printed.  We do not use IFS Print agents.  It also doesn’t come up for everyone, sometimes if you restart IFS it goes away.Has anyone else got this warning before?

Hi,Recently, we are configuring  Horizontal cluster for ifs app.MainServer 2 and IntServer 2 setup successfully using details of ifs document.

In the course of Update 21, we switched our MWS to Windows Server 2019 in our DEV environmentSince the installation of Update 21, the HTTP server is no longer running. The message: "SSL not enabled" We have no MWS problems on Oracle Linux and all services are running. As we have far fewer problems with Linux, we are considering moving to Linux.But what is holding us back is the autobuilder. As far as we know, F1-Mage requires Windows - we have already toyed with the idea of using WINE but have no experience of automating this.Have you found a way to run the autobuilder on Linux and automatically run F1-Mage to sign the runtime directory?Anyone else experienced this issue with Windows MWS?

Hi everyone, We are trying to ship parts with a customer ownership, but when we “Report Picking”, this error message appears.“The ownership info on the source location does not match the ownership info on the destination location”Does anyone know what that means ? We did the same thing as usual, and normally we don't get this message, and both location are company ownership, so i dont get it. Thanks for your help !

We are working in Cloud 23.1.3 and developing our Business Opportunity work process. Are there any best practice recommendations against renaming the tabs such as changing the tab from Sales Process to Quote/Sales Process?  We have made the change and done some testing without any issues discovered so far.  Is there anything that would discourage us from making this change?  Is it something that could cause problems with updates?  

We would like to control the ‘Detach’ option in Document Management. The requirement would be specifically to have few users with the ‘Detach’ capability for specific Document Classes and have the rest of the users in ‘View’ access. Further, we would like to control this by window level. We only need the capability of controlling the ‘Detach’ option in the Shop Order window and it should work as expected in other windows.  When I tried the Access levels in Document Basics it overrides from somewhere. I created a Group with all the users and given access level as ‘View’ for the specific Document Class. Then I included the special person IDs into the Document Class with ‘Admin’ access. This did not work.  Then I tried to remove the following permission from the allocated permission sets. DOC_REFERENCE_OBJECT_API.RemoveStill I could see the Detach RMB option for the user and the user is able to remove the document from the shop order window.  What would be the approach to have this config

In IFS Apps 9 you can create your own rules (type External). Unfortunately, there is nothing in the documentation about creating such rules. There are only 4 examples in the code. The question is, did anyone use it and have any other examples or documentation?

Hi, Is it possible to setup sales pricing based on combination of configuration characteristic.For example: If I have selected ofOption A in Regulator and option 1 in Pressure range, the price offset is $100 Option B in Regulator and option 1 in Pressure range, the price offset is $120  I tried using the Sale rule by manipulating the Characteristic quantity as 1.2 to get the calculated pricing as a work around. The issue is we have lot of such cases which needs this manipulation and updating for any changes in pricing is tricky and more time consuming. Any other thoughts or solutions. Thanks in Advance. Regards,Siva

[I’m very new to IFS, so apologies in advance for incorrect terminology / an obvious question / etc.] My company are moving to IFS Cloud, and want to customise some of the standard report templates. From the docs and this post, it looks like the process for this is:Install Developer Studio, and link it our IFS instance via IFS Lifecycle Experience, Azure VPN etc. Use Developer Studio to download the .rdf and .xsd files for the report we want to customise. Install Report Designer and edit the report template, creating a new .rdl file. Upload the new .rdl file to IFS Cloud, and link it to the relevant processes.Is there another way to do this? E.g. is it possible to download the .rdf and .xsd files directly from IFS Cloud, and edit in Report Designer; or better still, clone an existing report template from within IFS Cloud and edit that directly? [And if not, is there anywhere I can vote for that functionality?!]

Hi,There is an option already to export information source as .ins file. But I couldn’t find any option to import that file into same or another environment. I’m very grateful if anyone have idea for that. Thank you.  

Hi,In this flow I’m getting below error “Sender and Receiver must be in the same site when demand code is Purchase Receipt.”… when I’m to move a qty in arrival location to another location…It is not allowed to enter the same site as the receiver even the error message suggest - understandably there is no place to enter location ID (for a movement within the same site ).So, if I’m not missing something, my assumptions are…movements can only be done within the same site Only from an Arrival location (may be non Picking) to a location in a remote warehouse cannot do movements within sites belongs to same company cannot do movements within sites belongs to different companies - obviously since Shipment Order is not supported Please share your thoughts. Thank youChitrangana 

Currently, when an email is received, the format of the contact's name is as shown in the screenshot below -   The original format in the received email, as seen in the above screenshot, is lastname,firstname.   Panel creates the contact in the same name format - Is it possible for the name to be automatically formatted as FirstName.LastName in the panel without requiring the user to manually edit the first/last names in the panel? So that when they create a customer contact via the panel, the name format is correct.

We are using IFS 10 UPD 9,  we have a scheduled job to daily run Manufacturing Lead Time Calculation.  We are finding that it is very consistent from day to day unless the job runs on a day that is a calendar exception.  If it runs on the exception day, it is increasing the lead time on parts by 1-25 days.Can anyone explain why this is happening and if there is a way to prevent this?

Hi Experts,I appreciate for your input on following issue.The Customer has a central site named “UK300” which is always the WO Site and does not hold stock. Stock will be held on sites “UK172”.Mobile user is connected to Parts in Site UK172. Warehouse and Assortments parts connected to the same Site. Work order is created for site UK300. (WO and object connected tosite UK300) When a Task is dispatched, the Technitian can see all task details and his stock in Mobile. Even he can see Material orders connected to Site UK172 created from back office.    Problem is, user cannot see his stock in “Material Quick Issue” list in the mobile? This was possible in App9 but in app10 it isnt?   What could be the reason here, what is missing in this setup? Thank you,KM

Hi TeamGreetingsWhile creating a manual supplier invoice for India Company in IFS 9 (localization is enabled), we are not able to add lines when amount goes above 99,999.99 in gross amount column.Refer to below screenshot to understand the issues in brief:Screen shot 1:Line 1 - Interstate 0% - When net amount is added up to 99,999.99, gross amount is reflecting for it.

(Here we are not able to match receipts) as net amount does not get loaded.Line 2 - Interstate 18% - IMPORT - When manual tax base amount is added, again its tax amount is not reflecting in gross amount column                                     Kindly help us resolve this issue.
