Solved

Hi,The issue comes when printing the Bold ‘5’ characters. The BOLD character '5' is coming out as a square. It’s coming when using the language Chinese. This is how the font mapping looks; I had a doubt whether this is due to the font SimHei, which is used to map with Arial. Will this be a result of not supporting font properties (Bold, Italic...) by SimHei? The version is IFS Applications 75 SP6. But the issue is, it only display squares for Bold ‘5’ character. Also the issue will come time to time and it’s automatically fixing according to the customer which is strange. Could you please help me to solve the issue? Is this something related to font mapping or font installations? Or could this type of a situation occur due to some issue in the middleware? Or is this related to cache?Thanks and Best Regards,Thilani

Hi, In our warehouse, the amount in stock is of a part is a number with decimals. The UoM of this part is PCS, which is defined as an integer.The decimals are caused by an invertion factor on the sales. The client order a volume, but we fill this volume with pieces. The client can order a non-rounded number, e.g. 2.4L, which then converts to 13.4 PCS (for example). However, we never ‘cut’ the pieces. In this case, we will supply 13 pieces. Or 14, that actually doesn’t matter that much. But how can we avoid that IFS displays the not-rounded number? Thank you!

Hi All,I need some assistance from the wider audience, to figure out a way in Aurena to connect documents to line level items.Background - Apps 10 upd 9 (going on to 11 pretty soon), 100% Aurena usage intended , as still in implementation stage some tasks are done in IFS EE.What configurations are required to enable line level document attachments in Aurena? (ex: Purchase Requisition Line)Currently the settings are as follows;How do we attach a document on line level in Aurena ?( ex.Purchase Requisition Lines). When a document is attached while the PR line is select, the document still gets attached to the Purchase Requisition Header section. In IFS EE, we select the PR line that we need the document attached and a drag and drop to the document pane does the job. I can’t find a way to do this in Aurena. Object Transformation doesn’t show up on line level. How can this be enabled. Ex: Purchase Part has a document attached. Object Connection Transformation is enabled to show Purchase Par

We would like to automatically ADD a default Charge Line with Charge Type ‘FREIGHT’ to the Customer Order > Charge tab on Saving the Customer Order Header? What is the best way to go about this?I would think it would be a custom event that fires on a new Customer Order record. BEGIN &AO.CUSTOMER_ORDER_CHARGE_API.NEW__( :p0 , :p1 , :p2 , :p3 , :p4 ); EXCEPTION WHEN &AO.Error_SYS.Err_Security_Checkpoint THEN raise; WHEN OTHERS THEN rollback; raise; END; When done manually, you just add FREIGHT and click SAVE but when I looked at the debug there is a lot more going on with the :p3.   CHARGE_TYPEFREIGHTCHARGE_AMOUNT0CHARGE_AMOUNT_INCL_TAX0CHARGECHARGED_QTY1SALES_UNIT_MEASEABASE_CHARGE_AMOUNT0BASE_CHARGE_AMT_INCL_TAX0STATISTICAL_CHARGE_DIFF0COLLECT_DBINVOICETAX_CODE0TAX_CLASS_IDTAX_CALC_STRUCTURE_IDCUSTOMER_TAX_USAGE_TYPEDELIVERY_TYPEGOODSCHARGE_COST0CHARGE_COST_PERCENTINVOICED_QTY0PRINT_CHARGE_TYPE_DBYPRINT_COLLECT_CHARGE_DBNO PRINTINTRASTAT_EXEMPT_DBFALSEUNIT_CHARGE_DBFALSEORDE

We have a request for implementing an interface between TeamCenter, the PLM system of Siemens with IFS10. Do you have it up and running or have you looked at it. I don’t need full specs here, more a sense of how difficult it would be to prepare such an interface or that it can be bought from a partner or Siemens. Thanks in advance.

We are using IFS Apps 8 and are considering offering Managers the opportunity to record sickness absence directly into IFS.  Whilst this can be done via Time Card Day, I was wondering if there was an alternative or better screen for this purpose that only offered direct subordinates and not everyone in the organisation, as is the case with some of the HR screens aimed at HR personnel.Having looked at the Absence screen, it seems that you cannot restrict this just to Direct Subordinates unless there is a method that I have not identified.

Hello We using a CTU Licenses and every time we terminate employee using “terminate employment” function we have to manually find employee in “shop floor employees” and un-tick “workbench user” box to de-activate/remove the CTU Workbench license from use. Is there another way of doing it so that when employees are terminated using “terminate employment” CTU license also could be removed from user shop floor employee account? This is fairly time consuming manual process at the time. 

Hello, I have to substring following string, its one column, into three columns to pass arguments in an api to get invoice number.   COMPANY=01^LUMP_SUM_TRANS_ID=2^MIXED_PAYMENT_ID=4637^MIXED_PAYMENT_LEDGER_TRANS_ID=25^ COMPANY=01^LUMP_SUM_TRANS_ID=20^MIXED_PAYMENT_ID=4637^MIXED_PAYMENT_LEDGER_TRANS_ID=1^   Desired result company LUMP_SUM_TRANS_ID MIXED_PAYMENT_ID MIXED_PAYMENT_LEDGER_TRANS_ID 01 2 4637 25 01 20 4637 1       Now you see lump_sum_trans_id has can have 1 or 2 digits and same with Mixed_payment_ledger_trans_id can be 1 or 2 characters. Company and mixed_payment_id is mostly same number of characters.   Previously I used decoded with substring on the assumption that all columns are using same characters….. but now situation is changed. I understand regexp_substr or instr can be helpful but I am lost in it. some expert help will save my day :)   Thanks

Hello, I am trying to delete an Object ID in the Equipment Object Navigator, but to do that I need to delete the PMs associated with the Object ID. I created a few to test some things and now need to delete them. I cannot delete the Work Order or Pm Actions because it is used in Pm Action Calendar Plan. I also cannot edit the calendar because said Pm Actions are Obsolete. They should not have any Time ($$$) associated with them, so why can’t I delete them? 

Hi All Does anyone put number of pallets and their dimensions (not volume) onto delivery and invoice paper work, if yes - how do you do this?Cheers, Sarah

Hello,Is anyone familiar with the Business Type field on the Business Opportunity header? Do you know if there is a setting somewhere that allows you to choose either to be the default?  The two values are New and Recurring Do you know if there is any connection between Business Type and any other field that would change it from New to Recurring based on a user action?  Other than the user intentionally selecting Recurring?  It seems to default to New but in some cases it has been set to Recurring.  We’re not sure how it would be set to Recurring since it is hidden for our users. Do you know it’s general purpose?  I have tried to find some description of it’s function in the documentation but haven’t been able to locate that information.  Thank you,Joann
