Hi, it seems APB (Advanced Planning Board)has quite a few limitations, particularly around handling work centers with multiple resources. For example, scheduling a workcenter with 8 resources, how do you get the system to divide up the work and time it will take (perhaps 1/8 the time as a single resource)? Workarounds that have been floated include manually splitting up order lines as they come in (not scaleable) and fudging the efficiency factor to say, 800% in this example, also not great. Any other ideas that people have tried? If APB is not capable, have others used any third party scheduling software? Any recommendations?Thanks

Quick one for the community…. does anyone know if it is possible to create a custom menu to a specific tab on a form. For example to Inventory Part\Costs\Estimated Costs per Condition?

As part of our upgrade to v15, I’ve been asked to add titles to a select set of modules (Service Order, Customer Contracts, Installed Item), so we get a setup that is close to 12.5. But I get some weird behaviour in v15. Is there a limit to the number of data fields that can be added to to tiltles? Here my work in progress:A lot of this info is very handy to have when switching between tabs, modules, and even different systems:

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advise and real live example of the usage of MRB VS Control Plan. We are in the process of developing a solution for our QA inspection in IFS and our consultant recommends MRB instead of Control Plan.

Hi Experts,This is quite a trivial question. I have the requirement of setting the promised_dt in part_need to nul when a new record is created. This is how it’s defined in FSM Metadata So currently it’s defaulting to the current date.This is how it looks in Custom Metadata I tried the following approaches,adding a default relationship to a null field of another table adding a value business rule to set it to null None the approaches worked. Still the default value set in FSM metadata takes precedence and sets the current date.​​​​​​​Any help would be greatly appreciated.​​​​​​​

What is the functionality of the Supplier tax - transaction level check box in Company/Tax control tab?Help text and the F1 documentation say,“ If this check box is selected and if the purchase part, purchase charge type or the no-part order line is taxable, it is required to enter tax on purchase transactions (e.g., purchase order part line, charge line, no-part order line).  Also it is required to enter tax on supplier invoices (e.g., manual supplier invoices, preliminary supplier invoices, external supplier invoices)”.“Transaction level, validate the tax code on each transaction row.”Is it validated in the PO line level and in the supplier invoice? Does that mean the application does not allow to enter a PO line in a PO without a tax code in the line?

Hey all,I just implemented a pseudo-Custom Menu system for Quick Report output over here:  Now I would like to deploy the Output Channel I created to all users who want to take advantage of this new functionality. I cannot find anything in the help about how Output Channels are controlled with regard to deployment: permissions, profiles, etc.Is there some way to make an Output Channel be available for multiple users without having to configure it for each user individually? Even if it requires some API method calls behind the scenes, I would be interested in automating this process.Any ideas? Thanks,Joe Kaufman

 Dear Friends, One of my customer needs to send quick report output csv file in UTF-8, any advice highly appreciated. 

Afternoon, Has anyone ever found a location for the Approval Creator? Basically, what I’m attempting to create using a custom event is to email the creator of the approval process if the approval line is ‘Approved’ I’ve checked some of the views such as Approval_current_step and Approval_Routing and neither of these have the creator of the approval process. Any ideas? Kind regards,Ryan

My finance colleagues are having issues running GL Voucher Row Analysis despite having entered search criteria that would keep the output to a minimum.This is specific to the voucher type ‘MPL’ and we know the likely cause is the volume of data contained in the table for this voucher type.We currently have our DBA’s investigating performance but in the mean time I have come across the following closed post: Within this post, there is suggestion of an archiving process for GL Voucher Rows. I have very limited knowledge of the financial areas of IFS (but learning quickly), I wonder if anyone can advise WHERE and HOW this archiving might be run (if within the application)?We are running Apps8 SP1.Many thanks in advance!!

Afternoon all, can someone confirm if PSO is ISO 27001 compliant? We’re trying install on a customers Azure VM, but their security require an answer on this. Many thanks in advance

I’m trying to move some custom RMB’s to Aurena from IEE.  I have a Projection Configuration setup with a Custom Action that fires a custom API call.  I’m trying to create a command using the page designer to utilize the action.  But, it doesn’t show in the list.  I’m trying to do this on the Business Opportunity page in Aurena.  I refreshed the cache in IEE and did the Aurena refresh.  Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Hey all,Pretty sure this is not possible, but is there any way in APPS10 IEE to attach a Custom Menu to a RMB click in Quick Report output? We have a request to run an external program for a line of output in a specific Quick Report, but as far as I can tell, Quick Report output is transient and not linked to any LU. Is there some sort of clever way to implement this I am not seeing?Thanks!Joe Kaufman

Hello Experts, Can anyone please chime in your thoughts and suggestion on below request.HTTP extract handler in Message routing rule: Additional argument is added to the HTTP extract handler called “Access Token”, how to use the Access Token argument, is it a static token needs to be added to the routing rule or FSM can dynamically call a different endpoint to get the “Bearer” token and populate in it before executing the actual outbound integration. HTTP extract handler has argument HTTPMethod, most of the time HTTPMethod is used for POST, can we do GET service call in HTTP Extract handler. If it is possible, how would it be configurable in FSM. External Datasource : Is there any availability of sample document on how to configure and use different external source eg: REST API, ODBC Provider, External API The FSM connect document covers up only for dynamics integration, how to use other type of external sources. Display data in FSM without storing in FSM Database: Is there an abi
