Solved

Hi everybody!We are having trouble with finding a solution for internal transports within production. We want to notify the dedicated forklift driver when a WIP is ready to be transported from a work center to another within IFS. We were not able to solve the issue with ‘transport task’ because it’s a WIP.  The forklift is equipped with a IFS computer so we also considered using ’quick report’ to form a list that shows all work centers and their current status, but this solution also has its problems.Does anyone have a suggestion to this problem? All help is appreciated!Charles

Is there a way to copy an existing Business Reporter design and copy design sheet into another existing BR excel spreadsheet (two separate files)?

Hi, How can we see in the easiest way if we can manage customer order lines with a steady output of a shop order? Let’s say we have a big shop order over several months of 200.000 pieces, producing 100 pieces /day. We have several costumer order lines, each week wanting 400 pieces for example.As we produce 100 pieces a day, it should not be a problem to deliver these costumer order lines. However, in the Inventory Part Availabilty overview screen, we only see the projected stock at the end date of the shop order. So all the costumer lines go in negative projected inventory untill we actually do the reporting, so it doesn’t tell ‘if everything goes according to plan, these customer order lines will be ok in the future’ How can we see that with the current planning, we will be able to deliver (or not)?

We are trying to load a custom field with the value of another custom field. I am trying to use two apis to pull the appropriate information but keep getting an invalid identifier message. Would anyone know the proper way to use the PL/SQL Expression method to set a default value. If nothing else point me to a location where I can find documentation on using this in a custom field. Below I have included the expression that I am trying to use, a screen shot of the custom field properties and the error that I am receiving. Any help would be much appreciated. expression:SALES_PART_CFP.GET_CF$_JPC_SALES_PART_NOTE(SALES_PART_CFP.GET_objkey(contract,catalog_no)) 

Hi All,Can someone please explain the reason why the Apps 9 version doesn’t allow to create a collective invoice if an advance invoice exists? Upon delivery of the orders, the customer required one collective invoice. Here you’ll notice that create invoice option is available in the Quick order flow handling window. But if you attempt to create a collective invoice from the “Create collective customer Invoices” window for the selected customer, you’ll be present with no search results.Thank youRushdi

Good day. recently the Mobile_Cleanup_Sys.Clean_Faulty_Sync_Tasks__ is never completing and just keeps executing. We try and kill the job, but it wont stop.I tried setting the error fag on the front end (IEE) and it wont allow me to set this job as an error or stop the job.We tried placing this in its own batch queue to keep it from jamming up the queue and adding more processes to its queue and it just kicked off more of these jobs that will not complete. We are running APPS9 UD14 and mWO. Where to look to diagnose and resolve this issue and how can you kill a process that wont die?

We have a situation where a small group of people share a single login to Apps 10.  (They are using the app mainly for entering purchase requisitions and all work for the same department).  What happens is that sometimes the second user to log in will receive a notification that someone else is using the system under that login (I personally have seen this notification in the past during implementation when using the appowner account), but there are other times where it will not alert them at all and just log the other individual out of the system, with lost work occasionally.  My joking solution was for them to get familiar with Crtl+S or F12, but was wondering if anyone knew where this notification functionality exists (if at all)?

Hi All, few questions from a colleague, re Document Macros   I guess you know, there is a standard functionality in “DMS” that allow to fill a Word document automatically with fields in IFS (Macro – VBA). I’m looking for answers about those questions and it is not easy to find : Are those fields able to come from different Views or is it necessary all fields should come from the same one ? o Exemple : I have a file in GED with macro, connected to the View "Purchase.Order". In the file I would like to get the "Manager" field coming from the LU Project. Do I need to add a customfield read only to bring the manager in the View "Purchase.Order" ? Can we put a value in the Word document, depending on condition ? o Exemple : If a field in IFS is “YES” then the Macro populate a field in a certain value in the Word document. If “NO” then the Macro populate the same field with an other value ? The answer should be somewhere in the screen “Macro basic” but it’s too technical for me. Thank you,

Hi, we have a Custom Logical Unit in our Apps 10 U9 environment and would like to be able to insert data into it from another application via a REST API call.Is it possible to do this and expose a CLU via the REST API?Our CLU is a “staging” table where once data is imported into it (currently via migration job from a flat file), additional processing is done (again via migration jobs).I’d like to get rid of the flat file and data import migration jobs and just insert the data directly into the CLU via API call.If it is, can someone point me in the direction of where to find the documentation on how to do this, if it exists?
