Hi,   In a foreign currency supplier account, the invoice was entered at one rate, but was paid at a different rate on later date. The foreign currency amount clears off fine, but in the Supplier account, it is leaving a balance in the home currency. What would be the best way to write off this difference to bring the account down to $0 balance in both foreign currency and home currency?     Thanks in advance, Lawrence  

When a customized form is deployed and if the form has some entries in the base profile, the customized form is not loading instead the standard form is getting loaded for the user. The same user if we remove the base profile, the user is able to see the customized form. The base profile is not getting updated with the Customized form name. It looks like I have do recreate the profile again for all the customized pages. Is there solution available for this. Thanks & Regards, Siva

I thought I’d ask the community this question but I am pretty certain I know the answer.     Is there a way in MWO Service 10 to request parts from the main warehouse to replenish truck stock (my stock)? (NOT FOR A JOB)  As far as I know, you can create a transport task to move stock from your my stock to another mobile user or back to the main whse.  Or receive transport tasks from another user or from the main whse.  As far as I know, you cannot create replenishment orders.  Typically I have done Remote WHSE assortments to refill mobile whse’s and run the refill parts but I have never had to replenishment truck whse manually from mobile.  Is this possible?  

Apps 7.5 had a cool enhancement to Operational Reporting called ‘iPrinting’ which was a UK customisation. It allowed additional data to be pulled into a report layout which could then be used by Report Designer. This feature appeared to disappear by the time Apps 9 came along and I wondered whether anyone has come across this? Custom Fields offer some assistance but what they do not provide is ‘sub queries’ of data. e.g. Customer Invoices lines report the Lot/Batch Number of the invoice qty but I want to then show a break down of that quantity across the batches. This would require a sub-query of the inventory transaction history or something to show the separate lot ref and qty. I used to be able to do this using iPrinting but I can’t see way to do it with custom fields. Anyone got any ideas?    

Hi Guys,   I am facing an issue in Apps 10 where an Fixed Asset created through a Project cannot be moved, sell or scrap..etc. It gives error saying the project is completed. The setup was as follows. GP3 Account for Project and Acquisition Account for Object is same Reposted to same account   When Project was completed, the object was moved by removing the Project code part. In here reposting debit entry was created without Project Eg ACC01 - OBJ01   DR  XXX ACC01 - PROJ01-OBJ01   CR  XXX   Is it wrong to use GP3 Account for Project and Acquisition Account for Object as same ? What is the way to get rid of this flowstopper?   Cheers Lahiru  

HI there,   Is there any way we can write back the key values to the Excel sheet once the record is inserted or updated in IFS. For Example: A Excel migration job is configured to create a new Work order with data from the excel. Can the newly created Work order number be returned back to excel sheet and displayed against the data line.   Thanks in Advance.   Siva Ganesh M

I recently added a field to a stock IFS operational report and found it challenging. I'm probably missing something really basic. I've created and modified a lot of operational reports done with Crystal Reports, but this is the first time since Apps 2004 that I've tried to use the IFS tools. Does anyone have any better documentation/training material than what is supplied with the Report Designer? Or tips and tricks on creating/modifying reports with Report Designer?

We have an issue with Crystal Web services which we are looking into, but I want to create an event that would fire when a print job goes into a status of ‘Error’ - the action being to ‘Restart’ the job (As you can do manually with an RMC. Just want to automate this re-try for the time being. I have created an event on the ‘Printjob’ logical unit, but not sure how to make it fire and perform the  restart action. Any tips?? Am trying to make this fire when the message ‘No PDF returned from Crystal Web Service’ Thanks

Hi, I’m on IFS 9 and I would like to send a post request to a routing address. IFS 9 doesn’t support destination type REST, so I need to use HTTP. I know the endpoint, and from postman I have copied this HTTP request:   When I try to call this endpoint from IFS using a routing address I get “Internal server error” back. I know the headers and the message are correct, but IFS doesn’t seam to read them correct. How could this be done? Any help is very much appreciated.  

We would like to create a link in Microsoft Planner to a case in IFS.  When we put the link in planner, it changes the link slightly and no longer works in IFS.   This link works in IFS. https://gi48erpprod1.chiefind.net:49080/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application?url=ifsapf%3AfrmCaseHeader%3Faction%3Dget%26key1%3D172537 However, Microsoft Planner Converts the link to this. https://gi48erpprod1.chiefind.net:49080/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application?url=ifsapf:frmCaseHeader?action=get&key1=172537 Which does not work in IFS.  Note the yellow highlights.  Is there a way to make Planner keep the original format?  Or is there a way for IFS to accept the updated format?  

Hi, we have recently installed UPD16 on our Apps 9 environment. Since the install we are unable to run a custom menu where we select 2 lines are selected. We have a custom field that ruins on the customer order line and takes you to the inventory part in stock.    Previously we could select multiple lines but now we cant. The RMB is greyed out. It only works when one line is selected. Please see working example before the update and example after the update. You help is much appreciated.    Regards, Gary

We have started using Consignment Stock for Supplier-owned stock. We want to be able to identify such stock within the “Inventory Part In Stock” data. I could join to Inv Trans Hist using the Part_no/contract/Lot_batch_no to get the CO-ARRIVAL record, but at 75 million Inv Trans Hist rows, even forcing an index takes a very long time in an SQL statement. Any ideas as to how I can include/exclude within some of our Inventory Part In Stock reports? We are running IFS2003!

Trying to figure out what drives the EDI 855 - Electronic Order Acknowledgement out of IFS.  We are already doing 810 & 856 outbound.   I set the Customer Master up as follows: Message Setup * ORDRSP   Order tab > Message Default tab * Order Change Management - Send Order Confirmation (checked)   I create the customer order through the Incoming Customer Order.  I get nothing outbound. I Release the customer order.(from Planned) thinking maybe it requires a Status change.   I still do not get an outbound file.   Requesting assistance on what I am missing from the setup in order to generate the outbound XML fie for Order Acknowledgements.

I found the issue in Mass update of tasks in FSM 6U3 fresh installation. It seems, the bug in 6.3 and it works fine in 6.4 (refer image 02 for 6.3 issue) However, I have to fix this for a 6.3 customer without upgrade to 6.4 Anybody have workaround for this? Or else did I do something wrong?   Note - You can find the mass update for task from the dropdown in task search button. (image 01) Image 01 Image 02 This should be changed to Completed status and Processed count should be 4(equal to Total).

Can anyone please guide me what is the use of MPM in FSM and how it works in our application? one normal sample will be very helpful.
