Hello IFS community, I have a question regarding how the Lot Size Based Product Structure works. Here is a short summary of what I tested:Product Structure  - Lot Size Structure – Anything bigger than 23 pcs should have Alternate “1” and anything smaller should use alternate “*”.I then master scheduled 35 pcs of this part number in one day. My Planning details for lot sizing are set as follows: Max lot size set to 25 pcs (no min or Std).Result – Two Shop Order requisitions: 1 with 10 lot size and one with 25 lot size but BOTH with alternate 1 (only for lots bigger than 23). EXPECTED result: Two Shop Order Reqs: 1 with 10 and one with 25 but with different PRODUCT ALTERNATES. In this case, we are trying to tell IFS to use a different packaging for when we make 25 pcs Lot size. I read in the link below that only MRP checks through Lot Size Based Product Structure:Selecting Product Structure Alternate while performing MRP/MS in App-9 | IFS Community Is this true or am I facing a bug? And

Hi Experts,Is there a default field in the work order or Task to show the percantage of completion like in Project? It could be #Time-Based Progress (Planned vs. Actual Time Usage)#Task-Based Progress (Based on Task Status)#Date-Based Progress (Schedule Progress) Example:Suppose:5 tasks under a Work OrderPlanned hours: 40 totalReported hours so far: 202 tasks completed, each worth 8 hoursRemaining 3 tasks worth 8, 10, and 6 hours respectivelyTime-Based Progress:(20 / 40) * 100 = 50%Task-Based Progress (Weighted):(8+8) / (8+8+8+10+6) = 16 / 40 = 40%This might show:Reported Progress: 50%Task Completion: 40%Planned Progress (based on dates): say, 60% Thanks,KM

Hi everyone,I'm working on automating a Decision within a process in IFS Assyst. I've added a custom field called "Project Hours", and I want the process to automatically take a certain path if the value entered in this field exceeds a specified threshold.To achieve this, I tried using the following condition in the Decision:$new.W("PROJECT HOURS").shortcode > 150 Unfortunately, this condition doesn't seem to work as expected. Has anyone implemented something similar or could point out if there's something wrong with my expression? Appreciate any help or suggestions!Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to turn off forecast consumption entirely in Master Schedule?We have parts with forecast consumption of 0 (backwards and forward). If actual demand and forecast of the part lands on the same day, the forecast is still consumed. We forecast in monthly buckets and manually delete forecast as actual orders are entered. For this reason both the forecast and actual demand need to be counted towards generating supplies. Regards!Eric

Hi, For a customer use case, we have SV with Material demand (mainly ship direct to the customer and only 1 part by SV).No DSE session for this customer process. For the scheduling process, we want that dispatchers would see directly in the dispatch console the data for the material demand (to avoid sheduling a technician before the estimated delivery date for the part) : status material demand (needed, allocated, ship open, shipped) and the mot important the delivery date.For the status, it’s ok.Could we have a way to display the delivery date in the dispatch console ? due_dt or exp_delivery_date Thanks and Regardsanthony

Hi,We would like to have some amount off the total quote (header).If we try to add a percentage discount on the quote header, that's fine, because the discount is spread across each line as a percentage, which amounts to the same thing.But if we want to specify the fixed amount, to be deducted from the total, ALLIANCE applies this amount on each line and the total does not correspond to what we want.Is there any way to achieve this ?Thank you

I created a Workflow Configuration (Portal and mWO) for Work Task where the action “Task Measurement” is enabled and defined as “Mandatory”.in IFS Cloud 24R2.When I completed a Work Assignment of a work task without registration of any measurement, I expected that I get a message.Is this functionality only working for mWO and not for Technician Portal?

Hi Experts,I’m currently unable to close the accounting period due to the error message: “Transactions waiting to be transferred from Distribution and/or Manufacturing.” To investigate, I checked the Supply Chain and Manufacturing Posting Analysis and found 302 records with the status marked as Completed. I attempted to transfer these transactions by running the Purchase Transactions process, but no changes occurred, even though the background process shows as posted successfully. Upon reviewing the Purchase Transaction Details, I discovered that all 302 records are linked to a single calculated Purchase Order (PO) & Site. At this point, I’m unsure how to proceed, as the transactions are not transferring and are blocking the period closure. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Regards,Nikila Dissanayake

We are currently in Cloud 24r2. I am trying to use the command “Print Order Confirmation” on an order from the Quick Order Flow Handling page but I am receiving a ‘REP_NOT_ALLOWED: You are not allowed to execute the Report -’ Things I’ve done:I’ve checked the response because it usually tells me which projection needs to be granted (i.e the report’s projection) but there is no projection or report mentioned in the error or the response. I’ve tried to print the Customer Order Confirmation from the Customer Order screen and it worked. I went into the database to see which report is mentioned in the Quick_Order_Flow_Handling_SVC.Print_Order_Confirmation_Report___ function (since the error is triggered on the action PrintOrderConfirmationReport) and it is pointing to the correct report (CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP). This is the report I was able to print from the Customer Order too.It’s almost like this command button from this page is trying to print a report that does not exist. Is anyone ha

Anyone knows how to keep it enabled each day a user needs to register time?  Thanks,Asela

Hello Experts, We want to create a report using IFS business reporter which includes a pivot table. For this we have first created a flat table on a sheet and the pivot table on another. (Please note we need to create the flat table using report designer and then create a pivot table using excel functions since it is not integrated to business reporter as it was in IFS Business Analytics)We have defined a parameter as Site and want to display it on the report when it is run. For that we have dragged and dropped the parameter name and parameter value from the document action pane to the sheet.  We have done the same for other sheet where we want to see the pivot table, but with a different formatting.  The cell formula for these values are as below. Formula for ‘Site Name’ on flat table sheet Formula for ‘Site Name’ on Pivot table sheet Formula for ‘Site Value’ on flat table sheet Formula for ‘Site Value’ on pivot table sheet  However when we run the report, these values are shown corre
