Afternoon, We have added a custom tick box field on Active Work Order, but when a work order is set to Finished all the information on Active Work Order is removed and recreated in Historical, therefore there is no data for the custom field to refer back to on the Active Work Order as it no longer exists. I was wondering if anyone has overcome this in Apps8? Many thanksHayley

according to what we were originally told , app server / middleware UPD 8 and higher supported Windows 2019. Prior to that 2016, The question is can we upgrade the OS to 2019 prior to applying  IFS Apps 10 UPD 8 without the update 8 and 10 script breaking? Our DB server is already on 2019. Thanks for any guidance or experience that can be provided.

Hi Everyone, Im a bit stuck on a certain process so wondered if anyone had come across this before and knows how to resolve it. I have created a customer order for internal purposes only - the supply code on these order lines is Shop Order as they need to be manufactured.Once the goods are made I then need to add them to a new customer order and select from Inventory. I have copied the actual order line required into the new order and changed the supply code to Inventory Order however it will not let me manually reserve the items? Any help would be much appreciated. 

We thought we heard at the last WOCO that there is now in Apps 10 a setting that will automatically stop all clockings at the end of the ‘work week’. So if the last shift of the week is 2nd shift on Friday, for example, it will stop all clocking that are started, in case the operator forgets to do so. I have looked at all kinds of basic data, site settings, calendar setting, system parameters, manufacturing standards and am still missing it. Can someone please point me to where to set it?Thanks

I’m running into an issue where, for employees that need access to many different areas of the system, I receive an error message “maximum of 148 enabled roles exceeded” after assigning additional permission sets to the user account.  This is primarily for a few executive positions in our organization.I thought if I recreated a new permission set with all of my functional roles attached to the end user role, that would take care of the problem but it did not. What’s the best way to handle giving a user account access to the various areas of the system, without using IFSAPP_FULL?

Dear colleagues,IFS Applications 8 Installation.We are a UK Fast Moving Food Manufacturing Company who export and import raw materials/finished products.  We are in the final stages of Brexit readiness and have hit a stumbling block with regard to Purchase Charges (import/duty fees).A number of the inventory parts for which we require charges to be recognised at the time of receipt of the inventory are standard costed parts.Please can you advise whether there is anyway the charge can be receipted to a goods received not invoiced account at the time the inventory is received for a standard costed part?If needs be we can set up a separate GL account where the charge can go to if it can not be distributed as part of the inventory part (due to the inventory part being standard costed) however we would still like to be able to recognise a liability for the charge at the point of receiving the inventory, so using either posting control M189/M187 or a new posting control.Any help/guidance wou

Hi, I have an issue with Business Reporter and data. I created a report which shows the Purchase Order Lines per week. But I only want to show the data from Purchase Orders with status not Planned or Cancelled. I tried to show only the data from Purchase Orders which were autorized, but I was not able to do so because that data is not present in the Information Source. Is there any way to do this?The Information Source which I use is ‘Purchase Order Lines’. We are on APPS10 update 7.  Kind regards,Simon

Our company would like to be able to open IFS Enterprise Explorer  links to documents or other objects,  (purchase Reqs, etc)  when the default windows browser is the new version of Microsoft Edge.  This is Version 83.0.478.61 (Official build) (64-bit).   We are running IFS10  update 6.    If IFS is currently open, the links work properly but if IFS is not open, then the link starts IFS and after logging in  takes you to the start page only. With the Chrome browser, we had to install the IFS chrome extension to get these links to work properly,   after installing that extension when IFS Chrome is the default browser the links work all the time.    Is there a similar extension for Edge?    Anyone else run into this issue and come up with  a fix for it?

Hi,We are having an issue when printing customer invoices.Here are the steps:Go to customer invoice screen. RMB Header → Reprint Modified Select Invoice Original and click ok. ​​​For ouput: select send email and enter address. Click OK.When this is completed, it send the invoice to the email address that you entered. The subject of that email is “PDF file for invoice report for result key xxxxxx is ready.” with a pdf attachement of the invoice. It also fires off PDF_REPORT_CREATED and sends a copy of the invoice to the customer contact. Is there a way to stop PDF_REPORT_CREATED from firing? We just installed UPD9, I think this may be related to that. I don’t believe this was happening before. Thanks for your help,Mike
