This is a IFS 9 instance and we are using SSO.  This is only happening to 1 user.I have a user who gets the following error when trying to log into IFS after he clicks the IFS Explorer from the web page. Ifs.Fnd.FndSystemException: Explorer: A fatal error occurred.

We are using apps 10 and i want to use the purchase order to send raw materials to the partner. The event PURSHIP with posting type  M1 M15 are used for this event. I use M1 to fetch the inventory account  using C32 control type but i request help to fetch the right account with M15. The issue i have is that posting type M15 is not based on the component part but on the parent part whatever the control type i used. When receiving the parent part two events are created. The ARRIVAl which is used when receiving part based on PO using and M10 and an other event POINV-WIP is created with M10 and M15. M15 amount value seems to be the sum of M15 value of the PO PURSHIP.Actually i want to know what’s is the M15 purpose.I am looking forwaerd to hearing from someone who was facing the same issue. Eventually i intend to simplify by using material to the supplier partener using  NREC and NISS but my customer seems want to use purchase order for that.  Thanks

Hi, we have had a couple of users that have reported that Astea stopped working for them, possibly after recent updates but then that they cannot install Astea again with MS Edge.  As a workaround they finally installed it using Firefox.  Is this a known issue and is there something that needs to be set in MS Edge to be able to use it?  We have plenty of users that are using Edge without problems but I am worried that we might see more of these issues soon.

Reading in IFS Help about order types, I came across this:  “A default order type defined per site-customer combination has the highest priority, default order type on site has the next priority and default order type on customer has the least priority. “ Can someone tell me what a “site-customer combination” is?I know how to set defaults by customer and by site, but not “customer-site” combined.

I get the error message in the attachment when I click ”OK” on Customer Statement of Account. My question is does this mean that the print job will not execute at all or does it mean it will execute after the job that is in the queue before it has executed? Thank you.

I am in the process of setting up Positive Pay as a Batch Process file out of IFS, using the standard External File Type ExtPosPayCheck. We have multiple companies in our IFS instance that we pay from.  I would like to generate a single file to send to the bank since all of the accounts are with one bank, but I’m not seeing that there is a way to do this - am I missing something, or is it correct to say that I will need to schedule a batch process for each company individually?Thanks, Cynthia

Business Scenario: If an employee is allocated to the project resources with an incorrect resource ID, the user is required to delete the entire line and add a new line with the correct resource ID for the same employee. Previous application versions have LOV functionality enabled to select the correct ‘Resource ID’, but this functionality is disabled in IFS APP10.Refer below example; Navigate to ‘Employee Allocation’ in Project Navigator. Add an employee (who is connected to multiple Resource IDs) under employee allocation.After saving this record, the LOV function to change the ‘Resource ID’ is disabled.  This functionality is available in previous versions of IFS Applications. Are there any possibilities to enable this LOV functionality or is there any specific reason to remove this functionality in IFS APP10?
