Hello experts, In document management, can we set a certain time in days for step approval. Lets suppose, 5 people need to approve a document one by one. Can we set a limit on each step that each one shouldn’t take more than 5 days to approve,. If five days are crossed, it moves to another person. In case, the approver doesn’t either approve or reject due to any reason, how can we move to the next approver. Like Forward or bypass etc.Main idea is to restrict approve to prevent delay in approval process.Note: Using Group is not a option here, client uses individual as document approvers.Please advise. Regards

We have created a Voucher Template for uploading gl across multiple companies.  On a manual multi-company voucher, there is a posting control that will debit/credit the inter-co gl’s.  This is not happening when we upload via External File Assistance.  Currently, it’s putting a debit to one company and a credit to the other company and the external voucher is out of balance since the inter-co offset did not occur. Is there a step we are missing on the template set up for a multi-co voucher?

Hello all, I have recently noticed an access issue that I cannot seem to resolve. Currently, our Logistics group is setup with Query access to the Inventory Locations screen in IFS. They are able to access and view locations, however, they cannot print a barcode label. When a user RMBs on a given location, the option does not appear in the menu. I have run debug and checked the Permission Set, but I do not see where this access is granted. I still want to prevent them from adding/editing locations, but I would like for them to be able to print barcode labels as need. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,When generating limit year, initial value field is not available to enter if we use Carried Forward Absence type.  However, sometimes for some employees it is other way around that allows a Carry Forward absence type to limit generate but it does not allow normal absence type to limit generate where initial value field is blank. What is the logic behind? Why ‘Carry forward type’ some times allows to enter initial value field and sometimes not allow? Where to fix it?Please advise. Thanks in advanceRegardsNimesh

After a place merge in FSM6U9, the place record gets updated with a new modified_dttm and will be sent to the device in 24 hours (currently configured interval for that sync rule) or if someone clicks on sync now.- place_person doesn't get an updated modified_dttm and therefore will not be sent by the sync rule next time it runs in 3 hours or even if someone clicks on Sync Now. Would this be a limitation of the software or a bug?

I set ‘Replicate’ at Customer > Order > Misc Customer Info > Replicate Doc Text. Added Doc text at CO line with the output type CO. At Order release, Shipment is created. Shouldn’t the Doc text be inherited from CO line to the Shipment line? Or is it only for the intersite orders?Nor can I manually add Doc Text to the Shipment Line. Did I miss anything? The goal is to have Doc Text in the line of the report Shipment Delivery Note.

Hi,I would like to use the External voucher assistant to upload entries that would hopefully post to multiple companies.When creating the file template I can’t seem to create a “voucher company” column ID, which would hopefully posting to another company & drive the corresponding posting controls related to inter-company activity.

The people using scanners and other transactions in the plant and warehouse to have the timeout set to unlimited.”I tried the option in oracle user groups in an App10 environment by setting the Idle Time property for a set of users(for a oracle user group), but it seems not working as we expect. Any workaround has  identified for this setup?

Hello, We are currently running IFS Application 10 Update 8 but plan on upgrading to Update 13 shortly.  Our IT department has announced they plan on upgrading everyone to Windows 11 in January 2022. Does IFS have a date and IFS Application 10 Upgrade package they plan on certifying support for Windows 11?   We’ve got two machine currently running the Beta copy of Windows 11 and everything seems to work fine except we are not able to install IFS Business Reporter.  We get an error about the Office Primary Interop Assemblies have not been installed.   On a Windows 10 machine running the same Microsoft Office 365 x64 suite we can successfully install IFS Business Reporter.   Microsoft hasn’t released a new release of the Primary Interop Assemblies since Office 2010 and we believe this is the issue. Regards,William Klotz

In the employment information (path: Human Capital Management / HCM Services / Employee Management / Employee File / Employment Information / Periods) you can see the section Period Details.In that section, there are two date ranges: Start Date and End Date (representing the current employment period) and the Employment Start Date and Employment End Date (representing the start date of the earliest employment period and the end date of the last employment period).Apart from that, the section Period Details is showing Degree of Occupation and Current Degree of Occupation. With regard to these two fields, I’ve got two questions:Why is the Current Degree of Occupation not shown on the same level as the current employment period (Start Date and End Date)? Which (overall?) Degree of Occupation is shown when the degree of occupation has changed in the course of time, i.e. when there are several employment periods with different degrees of occupation?​​​​​​​
