Hello, We are currently moving to IFS Application 10 Update 6 and we read in the documentation the .NET IFS Printer Agents currently do not support the Socket Server which we’d use to print ZPL files. The java version of the print agent still supports a Socket Server to print ZPL but we’d like to utilize the .NET Print Agents. Is there any release information on when the .NET Print Agents will implement the Socket Server? Thank you, William Klotz
Hello, Our company has been utilizing Microsoft Power Apps for a while now and we’ve created several Power Apps over time and we think utilizing Microsoft Power Apps would be useful for creating applications for our users who also may need to retrieve or enter data into IFS Application 10 Update 8 and higher. We are thinking about creating applications which would integrate with the IFS HR Onboarding and Training, Call Center, NCR and Corrective and Preventative Action modules. Has anyone created a Microsoft Power App which integrates with IFS and could you share how you created it and utilize your application. We are just beginning to research this topic. I’ve seen this community post but there isn’t much details in it. We’d really like to look at a sample application so we can understand how to support having our users log into IFS from the Power App. We use Azure AD and have IFS configured to utilize this as well. A sample application would go a long way to helping us understand
Hello, We currently are using document management and approvals of documents. When we start approval process on the document the approvers in the list of approvers on the document receive an email telling them about a document requiring approval and the document is attached to the email for them to view. We’d like to utilize the IFS Notify Me application so someone who may not have direct access to IFS can receive the notification of the pending approval request and ideally be able to approve or reject the document from the IFS Notify Me application. Is this functionality available within IFS Application 10 Update 8 or above?Do we need to define a custom action to accomplish the functionality? Regards,William Klotz
Hello, We have some time clocks in our environment which we only want to allow certain employees to utilize. Does anyone know of a way to configure the timeclock so only certain employees can clock in and out on them? Regards,William Klotz
Hello, We are running IFS Application 10 Update 8 and an upcoming change to our manufacturing environment is going to require two shop order operations to be started simultaneously. For example lets say we have the following operations defined.10 - Charging15 - Pumping20 - Circulation When the operator starts operation 10 we’d like IFS to also start operation 15 as well. We know we can have the operator manually start operation 10 and 15 manually but we are trying to eliminate a point of failure and automate this functionality. Regards,William Klotz
Our environment is IFS Application 10 Update 8. When our standard users run the SetupAurenaAgent.msi they receive the Interrupted error message every time. If the SetupAurenaAgent.msi is run as a local administrator it succeeds but the installation is done under the local administrators account so its useless to the standard user. Standard users have full access to their AppData directory and they are able to install the IEE Agent successfully. We suspect maybe the installer is trying to modify some registry keys that require administrator access. Regards,William Klotz
The last week or so I’ve not been able to get the search to work properly in the community. Anything I enter in the search field does not return any result. Is anyone else having an issue searching the community forum?
Hello, We have recently begun utilizing the Aurena interface within select departments and one of the feedback is they do not like having the part no and description concatenated on the shop orders screen because when they export to Excel the data is exported as it is on the screen. Our users want the shop orders screen layout to be like IEE where the part number and description are in separate columns. Has anyone made this change using the Page Designer?We are very new to Aurena and its taking us a while to relearn these types of changes. In the red area is what we’d like to change so part number and description are separate columns. Regards,William Klotz
Hello, We are currently running IFS Application 10 Update 8 but plan on upgrading to Update 13 shortly. Our IT department has announced they plan on upgrading everyone to Windows 11 in January 2022. Does IFS have a date and IFS Application 10 Upgrade package they plan on certifying support for Windows 11? We’ve got two machine currently running the Beta copy of Windows 11 and everything seems to work fine except we are not able to install IFS Business Reporter. We get an error about the Office Primary Interop Assemblies have not been installed. On a Windows 10 machine running the same Microsoft Office 365 x64 suite we can successfully install IFS Business Reporter. Microsoft hasn’t released a new release of the Primary Interop Assemblies since Office 2010 and we believe this is the issue. Regards,William Klotz
Hello, We are presently running IFS Application 10 Update 8 we have the touch app server configured and accessible. We can successfully run the Aurena Scan IT 10 app and Aurena Notify Me 10 app. We are properly receiving notifications on the Aurena Notify Me 10 application but we find purchase requisition line authorization behavior strange. Let me explain. We’ve been using purchase requisitions for years and we currently approve the requisition lines within IFS Enterprise Explorer but we now have many more of our authorizers remote or traveling so we thought we would start testing IFS Aurena Notify Me 10 on Android and IOS phones. When the users receive a purchase requisition authorization notification they see the entry in the app on their phone with the authorize / reject buttons. If they click on the notification to view the details they see in the body of the message all the lines on the purchase requisition. They go back to the top level of the notification and press auth
Hello, We have several customers who wish us to ship any product we have available to ship but they do not wish to have the remaining lines or quantities back ordered for future shipments. We are releasing the quantities not available from the shipment so we can complete, deliver and close the shipment. We would like IFS to automatically cancel the unshipped lines from the customer order so the order will be invoiced/closed once we send the invoice. Does IFS have any built in functionality to cancel the order lines unshipped or would we have to create a custom event and action to accomplish this task? Regards,William Klotz
Hi, Does anyone know if IFS Cloud 23R2 or above is going to support the Microsoft Graphic API to send email? Utilization of this API would allow us to eliminate a mail relay setup. Microsoft Graph API Information Regards,William Klotz
Hi Everyone, We’ve recently upgraded to IFS Application 10 Update 8. I was asked today to create a Business Report that generated the results in a pivot table format. In IFS Application 8 with Business Analytics there was a button where I could choose a pivot table but I do not see this option in Business Reporter included in IFS Application 10 Update 8. Has the feature been removed?If so how do we generate a pivot table output using Business Reporter. Thank you,William Klotz
Hello, I couldn’t figure out how to move my original posting to the Technology forum so I’ve created a new posting. Below is the original posting just for reference.https://community.ifs.com/finance-financials-42/how-to-print-multiple-invoices-into-single-pdf-file-3476?postid=11875#post11875 We have a set of customers which we generate many invoices each day and they’ve asked us to consolidate them into a single PDF instead of the multiple PDF’s that CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP produces. We use the built in report to print our invoices CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP with some modifications to pull in extra information and layout changes. The CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP will generate one invoice report per invoice and usually we just print to a PDF instead of a paper. These customers receive their invoices by EDI so the PDF invoice is really just a backup for them in case something goes wrong with the EDI transmission. We initially thought of using collective invoice but the customers do not want a
Hello Everyone, We currently generate one invoice per customer order and email the customer a PDF of the invoice during the invoicing process. Some of our customers have requested we send them just one PDF containing multiple individual invoices. The customers want a separate invoice number for each order which we believe rules out using collective invoices. Finance would like to have IFS basically print each invoice into a PDF and merge each new printed invoice into the same PDF so when a customer opens the PDF they’ll see multiple invoices within the same file. Thank you,William Klotz
Hello, We are currently using IFS Application 10 Update 15 and I’m trying to provide some automation to our production lines by receiving in product into inventory from the shop order as it passes a sensor on the production line. I’m using Postman to test to get an understanding of the API’s and data I need to pass to successfully receive product into inventory. When I call the API below I get a 201 Created status so it appears the API is successful. But when I look in the quantity in stock screen I do not see the inventory in the location nor is the shop order qty completed and qty remaining information updated so something isn’t correct. I’m using basic authentication at the moment until I can get everything working in Postman. I’m trying to use the project below.<my server>/int/ifsapplications/projection/v1/ReceiveShopOrderHandling.svc/ReceiveShopOrderSet Here’s the body I’m sending along with the API call.{ "Contract": "OM1SH", "OrderNo": "54817", "ReleaseNo": "*"
Hello, Does IFS provide a way to set the credit limit a supplier has provided a company similar to the credit limit on a customer record? Our accounting department would like to have IFS enforce a credit limit from a supplier so purchasing can not release purchase orders which would exceed our credit limit with a supplier. I’ve searched on the supplier record but I could not locate such a field. Regards,William Klotz
We currently have IFS Application 10 Update 8 installed in our environment and we plan on moving from IFS Enterprise Explorer to Aurena in the coming months. I’ve been playing with the Aurena environment and I haven’t been able to locate the Time Clock terminal within Aurena. Do anyone know if IFS as ported the Time Clock terminal to the Aurena client or do we need to wait until a future IFS Application 10 Update packag? Thank you,William Klotz
Hello Everyone, Is it possible to replace the Aurena built-in lobbies in IFS Application 10 with a customized lobby?In the screenshot below we’d like to replace the My Time and Attendance lobby for Aurena with a custom lobby we’ve created. We’d like so when someone clicks on the My Time and Attendance navigation link in HR that our custom lobby would be displayed. I went into Navigation Designer but I wasn’t able to figure out how to change the information on the navigation link so it would use the new lobby. We do not want to edit the built-in lobbies we prefer to duplicate the built-in lobbies and customize the duplicated lobby. Regards,William Klotz
Hi Community, We would like to hide the Print Bill of Lading from RMB context menu on the shipment screen but retain the ability to use the Shipment Bill Of Lading report from a custom menu option. The reason we are trying to do this is because we’ve developed a bill of lading report that include everything within one report including hazmat information. The built in RMB Print Bill of Lading context menu always brings up Shipment Bill of Lading and Goods Declaration ADR. The linkage to the reports seems to be within the RMB context menu Print Bill of Lading. If we could remove the link between Shipment Bill of Lading and Goods Declaration ADR that would be ideal because we wouldn’t need a custom menu. Thank you, William Klotz
Hello, I’ve created an element for purchase requisition lines awaiting approval and it displays the lines correctly the user needs to authorize. In Aurena I have it working where you can click on the line and open the purchase requisition screen but I’m running into difficulty with clicking on one of the lines and opening the IEE Purchase Requisition screen so they can look at the entire requisition. Any guidance would be appreciated. Reqards,William Klotz
Hello, We are using IFS Application 10 Update 8 and I see a BizApi and Web Services to send employee information. We’d like to make use of this API to send the employee information to ADP when we onboard or change employee information. I’m unable to locate a RMB option to send the employee data. Does anyone know where I’d kick off calling the Send Employee API? Regards,William Klotz
I wanted to expand on a reason you could get the error ‘Error snapshot MRP Supply/Demand. MRP can not find required date of Order No in calendar’ based on the thread below. The issue could be caused by more than your manufacturing calendar not being extended far enough. If you make a mistake setting up you part information within the Inventory Part on the Planning Data tab you can cause this issue. The below mistake where one of our users switched the Safety Stock and Safety Lead Time caused the exact error. The error in data entry caused the MRP to think the safety stock lead time was 10000 days which would exceed our generated calendar but the root cause was the inventory part setup not the calendar generation. Here’s how it should have been entered. Once changed MRP successfully ran again. It’s very important to know who to troubleshoot issue within IFS to determine the root cause of the issue. Regards,William Klotz
We utilize EDI to receive purchase orders and send invoices for several customers. We now have a customer who is configured to also utilize EDI for purchase orders and invoices but they do not want to receive credit invoices by EDI they want them manually sent. At the customer record we have the message setup configured for message class INVOIC and its set to the default. We thought by just unchecking the Method Default IFS would allow us to choose to print the invoice or send the invoice but when the Method Default is checked we can only Send Invoice which sends it by EDI and prints it storing the PDF in the report archive. When its unchecked we can only Print Invoice only which actually prints it out and stores the PDF in the report archive. Do anyone know who to configure IFS so we can choose to Print an invoice or Send it by EDI? Regards,William Klotz
Hi Everyone, I’m currently updating the shipment handling unit label report which is a built in report and I need to obtain the printer name and number of copies within the pl/sql RDF file for the report. I wish to use this information in conditional branches in the report. When a user selects the printer and enters the number of copies on the report format and output dialog box is there any way to extract this extract the information? Thank you, William Klotz
