Solved

We are currently on Apps 9.  We would like to batch print customer invoices but we have multiple templates that are used for this. I am trying to create a report rule that will default the layout template when a specific site is selected so the invoices are printed on the correct layout.  We have tried various iterations of the expression in the report rule but none seem to be working.  One such version is below.  Can anyone offer any insight on what we may be doing wrong?  

Hello, Does anyone know a way of changing the behavior of when you click on a IFS URL link embedded within an email to an IFS screen? If the user is already logged into IFS it will still create a new session (prompting user to login unless using SSO) instead of utilizing the existing IFS session they have open. Any suggestions would be appreciated Regards Shaun  

I want to prevent to attached document in Purchase requisiton head. How can I do that in document managemant module.

We are trying to find a way to clear the files from the temporary directory that are created when viewing files from within IFS. The reason is when the user goes to open another file from IFS it prompts to replace the file or not. Not a huge deal but when they are opening a number of files at once it is a bit annoying. 

IFS 9 support which SSRS report version ? 

Hello Heroes, I am reviewing the following IFS F1 Documentation page for Apps 10 to Configure behavior through server startup parameters:   As per the note, You can add/change these startup parameters from IFS Applications intaller at installation time or by using IFS Middleware Server Admin Console. I am unable to locate these parameters in IFS MW Admin Console? Can you please point where to look specifically?

Is it possible to replace physical document file with a new file in Document Revision window, on RMP Delete is available. after delete, upload of new file seems  not available.

We’re located in Belgium and we have our own Azure cloud servers for IFS in Amsterdam (NL). Apart our from belgian offices we also have offices working with IFS in Czech Republic, Thailand, Malaysia, China and Brazil. But we are struggling since IFS10 with startup times of 90sec. or more in China and Brazil, 60sec. in thailand and Malaysia.  Belgium and Czech republic manage in 20-30 seconds. I find this quite unacceptable, but it’s hard to convince IFS. Anymore people expereincing this? Or is this due to a bad setup ? Should not be, because setup was done by IFS.    

Has anybody implemented the full automation Kanban program?  I want to set it up to automatically calculate ROP’s and generate req’s but I need to know a few things first.

We are currently on version 9 and are starting to create lobbies for user review.  I was able to grant access to the lobby that I created to a permission set, however, the it appears that the user(s) now have access to all of the IFS standard lobbies as well.  I don’t see a way to deactivate these or restrict access to them.  I tried to explicitly revoke access in the permission set to specific lobbies but they are still showing up in the lobby overview, although the data isn’t pulling through.  The issue is that the lobby overview is messy with all of the IFS standard lobbies and I’d like to make that a little cleaner.

Hi All,   Please suggest, how to configure the active directory in apps10

The business rule input validation   TASK.TASK_ID   EQUAL    some  table and column  in  VALUE_TABLE_NAME and VALUE_COLUMN_NAME field doesn’t work. I am expecting it would verify if the new task_id exists in the VALUE_COLUMN_NAME of VALUE_TABLE_NAME.  Is it wrong expectation?

One customer that am handling is looking for a quotation to add a “delete” button for NCR. Customer mentions the following:We need to be able to remove incorrectly reported cases from the system (like we do in DocMan). Same goes for CAPA cases, where we also have some test cases that were logged in production environment by mistake. We also need to be able to remove these.The delete option should only be available for our global SuperUsers. Would like some quick suggestions ?

In IFS 8, is it possible to calculate the stock ageing if the raw material is maintained in a single line(not lot batch wise, material is shown in a single line,lot batch as “*”)? I have seen if we use the FIFO method for the costing, it properly costed as the first in first out. If there is any table used for this what is the name of it? so i can use that table and calculate the stock ageing in the BI Tool.

In one of our IFS8 environment we are facing the issue “Unable to open saved pdf file from crystal web service” We have tried the fresh crystal config and ifsprint user grants but no success. Please Suggest.  

Version - IFS2003 We have a user who often exports Quick Report Navigator Crystal Reports to excel using the Export icon. On his old laptop, he has the option to export to MS Excel 97-2000 whereas the new client build only has older options (Excel 5.0, Excel 7.0, Excel 8.0). 97-2000 gives better formatting of data into Excel. We know that the F1 Runtime part of a client install loads Crystal runtime components onto the client and we think we have installed something else on is old laptop in the past to give him the 97-2000 option but don’t know what. We have compared like with like and cannot see a difference. Any ideas where the dlls might be that give him the option for Excel 97-2000? Thanks in advance.​   What we want:   What we get when we install IFS:  

We have split from our parent company, and since disconnecting from there network, IFSEvents has stopped because it cannot use their mailhost. Where do we set the Mailhost for IFS Events to use to send emails?   Yes- we are that far behind the times with IFS2003!

Crystal report developed and executes successfully outside of IFS. Report is using a custom developed IAL as its data source (access granted to appropriate permission sets) When copy Crystal Report to server and try to preview in IFS an error is presented: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.    at Ifs_ReportService.GetSavedPDFReport(String FileName, String ParameterValues, String LangCode) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\IFSCRWebSetupIFST_3\App_Code\Service.cs:line 244    --- End of inner exception stack trace ---  No actions were executed. Other Crystal reports work fine which would rule out issues with the IFS Crystal Web Service. Does anyone have any suggestions to overcome this error?  Thanks in advance Shaun  

Any idea what values the column internal_type in table attachment resides? Which is not a UI column. So far only noted the value SIGNATURE which comes for technician/customer signature attachments. Was not able to confirm the remaining values that may exist in the ATTACHMENT.ITERNAL_TYPE column (apart from signature). I could see an entity ATTACHMENT_INTERNAL_TYPE which resides under FSM codes, that has only SIGNATURE as a code value. Could this be it though the column names slightly differ, any thoughts please?
