How to force new users to change their password when logging in for the first time?

In FSM TIMESEARCH screen,  I would like to set a default value of the logged in user to the search field NON_PART_USAGE.MANAGER_PERSON_ID. I have created a client script to do the job thats uses the SetControlValue function, but the value is not set on the screen. The SetControlValue always returns ‘False’ Here is the script used:var MgrPersonID = getControlValue('NON_PART_USAGE','MANAGER_PERSON_ID');returnvalue=true;if (MgrPersonID == '')    {    MgrPersonID = getUserInfo('PersonID');    alert('Set person id to default ' + MgrPersonID);    }    var returnvalue = setControlValue('NON_PART_USAGE','MANAGER_PERSON_ID',MgrPersonID);alert(returnvalue);

We are investigating how we can use Project forecasting in a way to follow up the forecasted total cost of a project (activity).  Now, we have entered estimates for all activities.  Planned cost driver: Estimated Cost Progress method: Manual Our idea is to have the estimated cost as the initial EAC. BUT if the actual costs exceed the EAC we would like the actual cost in relation to the manually entered cost progress to be calculated as the EAC.  Example 1:  Estimated cost = 1000 USD Actual cost = 1500 USD Cost progress = 100% This would lead to EAC = 1500 USD Example 2:  Estimated cost = 1000 USD Actual cost = 1500 USD Cost progress = 50% This would lead to EAC = 3000 USD This is definately not how IFS is designed. But whatever alternative we try out, we end up with the estimated cost of 1000 USD either as the ETC or the EAC of the budget.  With the forecast option “EAC Recalculated” we end up with 1000 USD as ETC and 2500 USD as EAC. With the forecast option “ETC Recalculated” we end

Hello,  I’m attempting to use the Copy Part feature to copy an Inventory Part, Routing, and Product structure to another site in my system. Currently, we are creating parts in an estimating site that houses all of our work centers, labor classes, etc. Once the parts are finalized, I would like to use the Copy Part function to move those parts to the correct manufacturing site. I have noticed that the Copy Part function works, however it does not bring over my routing steps. I’ve tried changing the status to Build, but the routing steps still do not appear after the copy. I’m not sure if there is something I’m missing, or if this is how the Copy Part function works when you try to copy to another site.  The final item I’ve noticed is that you are not able to copy a new Product Structure component part to a new site unless you manually copy the part prior to running the Copy Part from the top level Inventory Part. My assumption was that if you run the Copy Part from the top level, if

Hi,We have a user where context menu items are missing when he log into IFS from his computer. If he log into IFS from another computer it is ok. Does anyone have a solution?  

Hello,I have created a custom LU with 3 fields, created the custom page, inserted into a custom tab, and everything was working good. After a test, the users told me that one field was unnecessary, and they wanted to remove it. Then I proceeded this way:removed the custom tab removed the custom page unpublished the LU removed the field published the LU created the custom pageNow, when I add the custom page to the custom tab, I cannot find the page in the list.I know that, to make it easier, I can hide the field but this is not the first time that this kind of problem happens and the solution is …. wait until the next day. In fact the next day the custom page “magically” appears.Why this happens ? Is there a background job (maybe in the night) that rebuild something ?We’re running IFS 10 update 8.Thanks.

Is is possible to switch the product on a request / Task after it is completed (with part usage, non part usage done)? When we attempt to do so, we cant remove the old product from the request. The error states that it cannot be moved since it is tied to part need, usage & NPU. The way around is it we update all those values with the new request unit ID via SQL DB Query. Is there a more user appropriate way for people to do this day to day vs manipulating the database -

Hoping someone can shed some light on this situation. I have a user that brought this up - whenever they are trying to print a Crystal report, the Print dialog box always default selects “Microsoft Print to PDF”, instead of the Windows default printer (shown as “Front Office” with green default checkmark below). Her IFS Printer Definition settings are also set to default to this office printer. I even checked on our IFS Print Agent server - and the default printer is another office device.  Does anyone know what might be the reason for this, and whether it can be changed?

Hi, I was able to create  my first connection object and I had to create my own transformation method, following guidelines found in OpenIFS forum. When I tested it (with the Test transformation option ) , I got a successful status. But it does not work on the target LU. What is the best way to debug this problem ? Haven’t found anything in the Debug console.   Thanks   Michael

Looking at Customer / Product / Price level budgets / forecasts that can also be used for measuring salesperson targets ?Have reviewed S&OP and Demand Planner but these are more quantity based and just use Avg Sales Price so are fine for general planning but not detailed sales budget level that we can track report against at sales person level ?I have been point towards external solutions such as Beqom or Xactly.  Any IFS partner solutions available for this ?

Hi,Is it possible to somehow set the volume and weight on the customer order line of a configured part based on the characteristic values? If you for example enter the dimensions of the product as char values the weight and volume need to be calculated.Kind regardsKristian

Hi,I wanted to enquire if it was possible to create an event that was triggered when a file was stored in EDM (File Repository) and then send an email using IFS Connect Routing Rules/Addresses with the email attached or a path to the file stored in the body of the email? I can see the routing address for email has an attachment name parameter. Is it also possible to pass a TO address to the routing destination dynamically?
