Hello,We have an issue with a customer who uses the dispatch console.The customer have two sites, A and B.Employees at site A can work on site B Work Orders and vice versa.We are considering creating one employee for each of the two sites, but we have 2 dispatch console : Site A dispatch console and Site B dispatch console.When an employee is assigned from the site A dispatch console, the system does not indicate in the site B dispatch console that the employee is not available, so it is possible to reassign the same employee at the same time in the site B dispatch console. Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?Thanks in advance,  

Hello,We currently have an issue where our IFS MWO Service app users are not returning their tasks from their mobile, they keep them in their Completed tasks tile which is storing 10-100+ tasks on their app.Is there a way to pull these tasks from their device as it’s causing issues with being able to close off the request/task?Thanks!

I'm hoping to get some insights from the community here. We're encountering random delays between the time a work order is assigned and when it's actually received on the service engineer's mobile app. These delays are inconsistent and can vary quite a bit.We've already tried several recommended troubleshooting steps, including:Increasing server resources Reconfiguring settings with higher max pool sizesUnfortunately, none of these have resolved the issue so far.We know that downloads only happen when the device is connected to data and powered on, and I can confirm that all these conditions are met—yet the delays persist.Has anyone else experienced something similar with Apps 10 UPD17? If so, what solutions or workarounds did you find that helped? Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!  

In IFS Cloud, when you create a child work order from a parent, the child is created with the customer no field blank. I assumed the child would inherit the parent’s connected customer. Is this how it’s supposed to work or is this a bug?

Hi ALl, Checking Calendar Generation to generate WO’s for my PM actions. But it seems there is not way to ‘schedule’ this to run automatically for example every Saturyday at 2am.Am I very much mistaken here or how can we schedule something like this? Best RegardsRoel Timmermans

Hi IFS community/MRO specialists,In IFSAPP 10,MRO work scope is released, MRO interim order released, and disassembly work orders are automatically disassembled.MRO assembly orders are not reserved or started, if assembly routing revision changes for the assembly part and relevant maintenance level routing is updated and activated.How can the current routing revision (phased in and old revision phased out) to be updated in existing MRO assembly shop order?I have tried re-releasing of define work scope and recalculating the maintenance levels, but the routing revision did not get updated. 

Hi all,In 25R1 mobile work order (via maintenance app), when trying to enter a new measurement, I have below error.function<GetNewmeasurementInfo>: Failed to read value from EquipmentObjectTestPntRec.descriptionNew measurementError Also noticed the description inEquipmentObjectTestPntRec looks like below.EquipmentObjectTestPntRecA colleague checking on a different environment verified the same issue in their environment as well. Did anyone come across the same? If so, is this something we can fix as individuals for our environments or is it a bug that IFS needs to fix? Many thanks in advance 

If you use the standard object connection transformation you can Attach documents to the Service Contract and get them to the work task. Source on the files at Task is But If you transfer this Work Task to mobile. It doesn´t appear.If directly attaching document of the same document class to task, it will appear in MWO. It seem like MWO doesn´t replicate documents that is part of an object connection transformation in cloud? 

Hi everyone,when creating a new Service Request and add to my Work in MWO, how can I display a full list of customers including their locations?Currently, I only see a small subset of customers and I’m not able to select or view the location. We are using IFS Cloud 24R2 Even after selecting a customer, no location is shown: Any advice or configuration hints would be greatly appreciated!

We have custom LOV’s in Cloud.  When using the Find option, there are no hearts that would normally be clicked to create a Favorites list.  We have a maint org LOV in the task with hearts, but in the business opportunity we had to customize the list and there are no hearts.  Is there a way to create Favorites on the custom LOV?  

To anyone in the IFS Community,I’m having issues with the IFS MWO Service app on both Android and Windows. I’m able to initialize (Force Initialize) and use the application but it isn’t reflecting simple page designer changes such as a label rename.I’ve verified that this isn’t an issue with other Page Designer contexts and have found errors within the application log from initialization. See attached and excerpt below. Any tips on how to address metadata sync issues specifically related to Page Designer configurations would be helpful.Thanks! I    7/15/2025 10:37:28 AM    UmaActivity.OnCreate() - finalizing window initializationI    7/15/2025 10:37:28 AM    UmaActivity.OnCreate() - Done!W    7/15/2025 10:37:29 AM    Assert failure: Activity is not an IBreadcrumbLocationI    7/15/2025 10:37:29 AM    DownloadingMessagesI    7/15/2025 10:37:30 AM    UpdatingMetadataW    7/15/2025 10:37:30 AM    <System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException><Message>Exception has been thrown by

Hi all, Has anyone got any documentation of using Crystal Report to amend / customise the Service Report from MWO once a Work Assignment has been complete. I know that the document can be configured. I would just like some additional documentation as proof of concept.  Thanks, Chiedza 

We are introducing someone to a new part of the business where they’re going to be helping with creating service requests, but even after giving site access, person group access, high level graph org structure access. When they go to select a maint org from the drop down, it’s blank. Is anybody able to help me with what we are missing from their setup that needs to be added in order for this to show?  

When canceling a task in mWo10 Maintenance that was simultaneously accepted by two users, but completed by one user and finalized in IFS, and the other user cancels the task, the task automatically returns to the undefined group pool. If the task is accepted again and actions are performed on the step, the following error is generated: ERRINV: ORA-20105: JtTaskResource.UPDATENOTVALIDTASK: It is not allowed to modify a Resource Demand connected to a Work Task with Finished status.I believe this is a bug and the task should not be returned to MWO.

Hello everyone, I have an issue regarding PO in MWO : I’ve created a PR and transformed it to a PO on a Work Order. I’ve assigned the WT to my resource and transfered it to the mobile. My problem is that I don’t see the PO in MWO. When I go to Materials/requested materials, I see the material request line, with the “PR connected” status :Material requisition linesBut when I try to go in the PO to receive it (“Réception Commande d’achat” in the screen shot), nothing is displayed : Purchase order receipts I’ve tried to sync all the entities several times, but nothing happened. My user is connected to a remote warehouse : Do you know if I miss something ? Thanks in advance.Simon

Hi IFS Hive Minds!We use IFS Apps 10, I’ve come across an issue where some users ID and timestamp isn't populating in the Actions Taken field in Work Task.What would be preventing this?I’ve checked user settings/permissions front end and can’t find any differences between those that work and those that are blank.Any pointers as to where to look or update settings would be helpful, many thanks😊 

I’m working with a customer using mWO Service App 10.It seems that when technicians register measurements against Wort Task in mWO, the data is not tranferred to IFS until they Initialize mWO. This doesn’t seem legit to me.Scenario:Assignment transferred to mWO Technician accepts assignment and starts the work + reports time Object Measurements are registered in mWO Work Task Assignment completed in mWO → JT assignment status changed in IFS No data visible in Measurements for Object in IFS technician does Initialize mWO → data recorded readings appear in IFS.Object Measurements only come across to IFS only when technicians Initialize mWO. There are no Failed Transactions. Is this standard behaviour in Apps10? ​@Alexander Heinze any thoughts on this matter?

We are starting to use the maintenance Gantt, and the legend mentions HR allocations.I can not seem to find any way to define a work task as HR, and have found no help in the documentation. We would like to use this to show when resources are not available for allocation.  

When reporting time in mobile work order, IFS MWO Maintenance my comments are not populating in cloud 24R2. We are not using time clock to clock in and out, we are only reporting hours worked.I can see that Cloud = ReportComment but mWO is using ClockOutComment. Since we are not using the clockings where should we map mWO?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Do we have any possibility to see do not dispatch requests/task in IFS Cloud.
