Hi, We are doing an IFS Applications 10 implementation to a Manufacturing client. One of the processes of the client is to create a recipe structure for Manufacturing. Our scenario is, there is an unfinished recipe which is still in Tentative state. When we try to add components to our structure, we get the error “Phase In date of this component conflicts with parent revision date range”. In our client’s business, a Chemist (person who enters the recipe) might start working on a recipe (still in Tentative state) last week and he/she should be able to add components until he/she is done with the recipe. The Phase In Date should not be problem until the Recipe Structure is completed. At the moment, we have to change the Phase In date for the parent or child every time we add a component to the Recipe Structure which is not practical. Can anyone advise how to components to an unfinished recipe structure when it is still in Tentative state?  Please refer to attached screenshot for more inf

Hi,   We are looking into System Privileges and wondering what the IMPERSONATE USER privilege does and how to use it.  Using Apps 9 UPD 14. Many thanks,   Matthew

I’m trying to write an expression in a business rule that checks the currently logged in user (User_log_in.person_id) against a team table.  However, the team table is not a “related table” to the one used in the rule.  Can an expression reference a table that the business rule/process is not related to?    

Hello -   I have a user that has a PO with a change order and all of the lines are closed except for 1. He would like to cancel this line due to supplier delay but cannot because the change order has “Received” status.   I am new to IFS and am unsure of how to advise him to cancel this last line due to the status of the change order.   Is this possible to do?   Many thanks! Leslie  

Hi  All, Is there any feature to create hotkeys to do custom action? Thanks, Shankar

We’re creating a QuickReport where we want transaction data by month going across the row. We created an accumulating IAL grouped by YYYYMM which works great. Then creating a 2nd IAL over the first to total each YYYYMM’s Qty into it’s own month column (January, February, March, etc) and when we run that in SQL Query Tool it fails with this error:   We’ve ensured all rows have valid dates.      

Hi,   We'd like to be able to run Deferred Calls as a different user. I can't find anything to make this work. Is this possible?

Hi, I am looking for the possibility to add Characteristics to Supplier Master Data. Is that possible? I have created the Technical class and Attributes but could not see the Characteristics option in the Attachments for Supplier. So I am wondering how can we get the Characteristics option when we click Attachments in Supplier. /Harini

Hello, Does anyone knows what permission need to give to access in Characteristics Tab at Bottom of Each Screen to Select Technical Class? Thank you.

My brain has apparently stopped working today… can someone remind me what the magic key-press is to open the Debug Console in Apps7 (and prior)? Perhaps I’ll earn an “I’m having a dumb day” badge for this one … :) Nick

Hi,   We are facing the issue where the interval from our Shop Floor Workbench Filters is not looking at the manufacturing calendar.  We have for example an interval of -10 days in the past and 3 days in the future. This is causing issues on the Fridays where users are not able to see the planning for Monday and Tuesday.  Is there a fix/workaround for this issue?

Hi, Anyone implememented Aurena for maintenance technicians on mobile devices?   Would be interesting to hear pros and cons.   Best Regards Anders

After getting my quick report (crystal report) to work by suffixing the views with _A I tried adding parameter(s).  Unfortunately, this has provide errors: I have added the parameter IFS_ORDER_NO. So the Crystal Report Select Expert looks like: CUSTOMER_ORDER_A.ORDER_NO  is equal to {?IFS_ORDER_NO}   However, when running the Quick Report I am not prompted for the parameter value. My idea would be to create a custom menu on the Customer Order that runs the Quick Report and uses the current Customer Order No as the parameter value.   Any ideas?

Good day, we are using apps 9.  I have a question about combining condition based work order and time based work orders.  We have engines that require maintenance every so many hours or at a specific time interval.  Is there a way to create a PM in the service and maintenance area that would handle that? Thanks in advance

Hi,   We have a scenario which requires to enter a forecast for a part but want to generate demand/supply for its components as well. We also need to consume the forecast for the parent part. The problem is that the current business process calls for all customer orders to have supply code as Shop Order, therefore we will be generating double demand. This works fine if we change the supply code to Invent Order in the Customer Order. Any idea on how to do this without changing the forecast or the supply code?   Thanks!

I have a user that is trying to export query data from IFS, a large amount of query data, and he just needs the flat file (.csv). His Output channel is exporting the .csv file to Excel and trying to auto-open, and the export is taking a very long time - due to the many rows of data being downloaded to Excel. The user does not need to view this info in Excel, so is there a way to create an Output channel where it will just allow you to save the flat file to a local file folder without having to open in an application first?

Hi, My company is in progress upgrading IFS 7.2 to IFS 10. I want to know about MRP because before we had to create MRP custom from scratch.  But now IFS 10 has DDMRP that said to be a hybrid of Pull System (Kanban) and Push System (MRP). Is there any company in here already using IFS Application 10 that implementing Demand Driven MRP?  Thank you!  

Using APPS 10, has anyone got NOTIFY_PR_AUTH_COMPLETED working?   We are attempting to have the Purchase Requisitioner receive an email when the Purchase Req has been authorized, which this event seems to want to do but we’re having no joy.   For Background, we DO have PUR_REQ_LINE_TO_BE_AUTHORIZED working and that sends an email to the Authorizers within the Authorization group.  NOTIFY_PR_AUTH_COMPLETED just doesn’t seem to work in the same way.

Is there away to create users from a template or to copy from an existing user?Our current process of creating users is very manual and time consuming, if we could copy a user who does the same role or create templates for each role it would be a lot better. Any help or advise anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. 

We have problem on production database that pictures pasted into yellow note are not saved in the database. On test database they are saved. I have figured out that yellow notes are saved in TEXT column of type CLOB in the table FND_NOTE_PAGE_TAB. We are using IFS App 9 UPDATE 7. Any suggestions ?

I have set up a Quick Report to run a Crystal Report and this works fine except that I am being prompted for Login Information each time it is run.   e.g. if the Crystal Report is accessing the CUSTOMER_ORDER_TAB I receive the following:   Login Information for CUSTOMER_ORDER_TAB is requested prompting me to enter: Login: Password: DB Instance:  Schema Owner:   Can anyone please advise what I am missing.

I have created a Custom Logical Unit in order to create a custom page. One of these fields has been setup as a referenced persistent field reading from SHOP_MATERIAL_ALLOC_CFV. There were a couple of custom fields in this view that have since been removed. When I try to bring up a list of values on the reference field I get an ‘invalid identifier’ error on one of the removed fields. Is there a way to ‘refresh’ or re-publish the list of views so the removed fields are excluded?

I have lobby data source pointing to IAL. Is there any other way to pick columns to use than write those manually? Data source ‘preview’ show data and columns even not selected any, but element designer can’t use sata source if not wrote needed columns to data source.

Hi All,   I’m bit confused about how PLSQL method works for inbound messages with binary data (eg: incoming PDF) My interpretation of the documentation is that the IFS framework will encode input binary file to base64, placed in the BIN_DATA attribute of framework generated XML; thus the input of the PLSQL method is an XML.  Both examples in the documentation were also written considering that the input is a XML  However, my experience was that input clob for the PL SQL method is actual file data instead of a XML. Am I confused with the documentation or is is there anything I have missed? Example Function just return the input:   Application Message with Message Response PDF My assumption was the response would be a XML with encoded file data; instead it’s actual input file   Cheers!
