Service (Touch Apps, MWO, MRO)

We have come to discover that we have no meaningful way to manage the roll-out of the mobile app IFS MWO Maintenance. Since the iOS version comes from the Apple Store and the Windows version comes from the Microsoft App store, they just appear randomly on devices without any chance to vet the apps and keep all devices on the same version. Nor is there any mechanism in either store or from IFS directly to get any advance notification of upcoming version releases. There also appears to be no way of reviewing version releases with the associated release dates (not as important but still could be helpful if something breaks). I guess the assumption from all parties in this process is that newer is always better, but what if it is not? By the time we discover a bug, many of our devices will have the new release with no way to back-level the version. Does anyone else out there see this a potentially problematic? 

 Receiving a fault message “It is not allowed to modify a Sales Line after creating service Invoice.”Is this standard functionality.  I could have swarn we were able to modify a sales line after creating service invoice.Message occurs when we select ‘New Credit Lines’. 

When implementing IFS Cloud Service and Maintenix, assuming a 10% customization rate, what would be the expected testing workload? Please break down your response by Unit Testing, Integration Testing, and System Testing.

I’ve searched this forum and it seems several users have requested/suggested the functionality to allow multiple photos to be added to a single survey response in MWO vs the cumbersome process of introducing looping questions/child surveys. Most threads seem to go cold a while back so would be great if someone could confirm if this has been implemented or if not where this is on the development track. Feels like this is pretty basic/standard expectation of an end user in 2026 (ie select multiple images and hit ‘upload’) 

Good Morning, We are in the early stages of our IFS Cloud Upgrade. I am having issues where 2 users can log into IFS Cloud Web Version with their user name and password.When they attempt to log into MWO Service App they get ‘Invalid Username or Password’They have the same permissions sets granted as a user that can log into MWO. What else would prevent a user from logging into MWO Service App? I have managed the details via Resource Structure, they are ticked as MWO User but they do not appear in Mobile App User Details, they cannot log in etc. I am sure it is a setting I have missed but I cannot work it out. Thanks,Lisa

Hi,  With the transition to the MAUI platform, it has been observed that the current mobile applications (MWO, Notify Me, and Scan IT) do not provide the same level of Insight Logs that were available in the MWO Classic (Xamarin) application. This limitation makes it challenging to clearly understand user actions and accurately identify issues encountered during application usage.Although the application parameter EXTENDED_CLIENT_LOGGING can be enabled, it currently captures only a limited set of logs, which is often insufficient for effective troubleshooting and root cause analysis.Proposed ImprovementsTo enhance observability and support efficient diagnostics, the following improvements are recommended: Enhance Device Log Coverage Introduce more comprehensive client-side logging to better capture user interactions, application flows, and error scenarios. This will help in understanding user behavior leading up to an issue. Include Timezone and User Region Information Capture the de

Hi all,I believe this behavior is an issue and does not match the expected result.IFS CLOUD Version:I’m following these steps:Navigate to MWO Maintenance Use Additional Work on a Task or Task-Steps Select Copy Information from Task = Yes Click on Report additional work that I have done Select a task template Click on FinishExpected result:A new Work Task should be automatically created under Work Order with status Work DoneActual result:A new row is created under Job and Templates with originating system MWO. No Work Task is generated from the selected template. A failed transaction is returned, with a temporary number assigned to the task.Could you please advise on this? no Work Task is created for Job Id=2 

Hi everyone,I wanted to reach out to the community to get some clarity and perspective on a topic that recently came up in a discussion with IFS.During a recent conversation, I heard a statement that “Nexus Black Resolve is intended to be the long-term replacement for MWO.” But i did not hear any specifics - it sounded bit vague, however it could just be me and plans may be in place. I’m Seeking some Clarifications as this raised a few important questions, and I’m hoping the community can help me to clarify these: Has this direction been formally defined? Is Nexus Black Resolve officially positioned as the successor / replacement for MWO, or is this still early-stage direction or regional guidance? Is Resolve included in the official roadmap? If so, where can we find formal roadmap visibility or release plans? Is there any official positioning or documentation available? Product strategy Sales positioning Target use cases compared to MWO Where can we learn m

Hi,I am looking for the following options in MWO - Service Classic but they do not appear. I have added all the security grants for ServiceEngApp 25 but it only gives me view to add new service request which is linked the request management. Is there anything I am missing? Thanks,George.

Hi All, When we enter a new cost to a Resource Group, the below error pops up. However, there is no such costs defined for the Resource Group.

Hi,   I would like to know why is it important to timely clear error messages from Maintenance Posting Analysis. What impact does it have if we dont do it timely.

Hi,We have an assortment with parts that are set to be refilled with Shipment Order:  If we select “Receive into Inventory” for the Remote Warehouse in the Receive Case, it works fine, but obviously, the parts arrived in the picking inventory location as soon as the shipment is delivered.The business would prefer it if the parts were first in a sort of transit state as they want the remote warehouse operator (the remote warehouses are typically work vans and the operators are the van drivers and they use IFS MWO Service) to confirm receipt of the delivery (this must happen in the mobile device) before the parts are made available in the remote warehouse.We cannot use Transport Tasks with move to transit option as the main warehouse absolutely requires the use of “Pick by Choice” which is only available from a shipment (hence Shipment Orders).We tried to use “Receive into Arrival” in the Receive Case. When the shipment is completed, the parts arrive into the arrival location and they ca

Is there a separate permission set for IFS NotifyMe (IFS Cloud 25R2 SU3)? When trying to connect i’m getting an error ODATA_PROVIDER_ERROR. 

Our company uses work order and work task processes. We typically use one work order with one work task. A user has changed the work task status to Work Started and is now unable to change back to Released (it was changed in error and for our flow needs to be in Released status and update a value in the Work Stage which is how we’ve overcome the lack of work task status). The work task in question has a connected Maintenance Purchase Requisition which is Closed Status. This was used to create a part requisition line for an external service purchase order which is in released status. This error message is received when attempting to change the status back on the Work Task or Work Order. ERROR: It is not possible to initiate a Tender flow when one of more connected Work Tasks are in status Released or above.Turned on debug console and found the error is due to WORK_ORDER_REQUIS_HEADER_API starting at line 1379 where it’s attempting to use Get_Create_Rfq.

Hello,I’m trying to add a navigation command from an Online screen ‘ServiceEquipmentDetailOnlinePage’ in MWO to a standard entity ‘TechnicalObjectReference’ and existing screen ‘TechnicalReqPage’. The screen works fine when I try in Cloud but in MWO it displays a blank screen without any data. I’m in 25R1 IFS Cloud version and also have the latest MWO Service app installed.

Hi All, We are experiencing an issue with generating SLA commitments from SLA Templates connected to Service and Request Contracts. SLA commitments are created when an Urgency is defined for a Request. The Service Catalog item was created as shown below. SLA Template that is attached to a Service item Different SLA Template is attached if the Urgency is 1 Creation of service request are show in below. First, without an urgency.No urgency used. Normal SLA template is fetched from the service. This is shown in the New Request assistant. However, When we created a Request, No SLA details are shown. The creation of a service request with an Urgency.  When we select Urgency = 1, Urgency related SLA Template is fetched and it is shown in the New request Assistant. SLA Commitment was created. We experience some SLA commitments issue when we connect a contract to a Request as well.Any idea on this behavior? Are there any intended functionalities with SLA templates? Or are we missing something
