Hi All,We’re seeing some pretty severe performance hits with our Zebra Handhelds since upgrading from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud.These devices are android based and using the scanit app.It appears that if the scanner sits for 48 hours, when it is used again the WaDaCo actions take about 15-18 seconds to respond (each scan or “click”).Our fix is to reimage the device. It then works fine until they go unused again. Then they slow down.These things were rock solid in Apps 10. So this is a bad look for us with the upgrade.Any advice is greatly appreciated.Thanks,Mike
Hello,In MWO, we have the ‘My Misc. Allocations’ screen. In IFS Cloud, through page designer I’m able to view the related commands for Add, Edit, Delete and Remove Approval for the Misc. Allocation screen until version 25R1. In 25R2 version, I do not see these options in the Page Designer. Even if we configure the projection ‘CommonMiscAllocHandling’ as Read-Only in the permission set, it does not make it Read-Only.Is there a reason why these options were removed? What are the alternatives to disable these commands from the My Misc. Allocation screen? Please let me know.
There is a problem manifests when users attempt to accept or start a Pool Task assigned to a Resource Group. The system raises an internal error (Utility<CreateAssignmentInState>: Failed to read expression value from AllTaskRec.TaskSeq) during assignment creation, preventing the task from being accepted or started.Product Version: 25.2.2
Hi together,when I look into the sync rule for SrvRequestScope, a lot of fields are synchronized to mWO, e g REQ_ISSUE_SYMPTOM_ID : But, when I try to add this field via page designer to the request scope page, the field is not selectable. There are some fields existing, but most the fields are missing. Is there any possibility to add the mentioned field? I am aware, a workaround would be to add a custom field, but this is not my wanted solution.
Hello,While using the Service module > Work Task screen, we have the option to enter a Fixed Price line for a sales part from the Sales tab. Work TaskWhereas while using the Service Management module > Request Work Task screen, we do not have the option to enter the Fixed Price in the Cost Type dropdown. Is there a reason for removing this option from the list? If so, is there an alternative way to add the fixed price? Please let me know.Request Work Task
How do you handle the costs for different time types when using Resource Groups and Job Rate Management?For example, we have a Resource Group ‘Engineers’ which allow you to add one cost value and sales part value. We then assign work to engineers within that resource group via Mobile Work Order.When the engineer books their time they select one of the following time types - Standard, 1.5x, 2x, depending on their contractual hours.How does the costs associated with those time types get added to the work order if the resource group only has one cost assigned to it? Similarly, how does the sales part relating to the time type get added to the work order to ensure the customer is charged the appropriate rate?
Hi All, We can give a time to complete when we change the status of an assignment to “Incomplete” in a Request task. The status of the assignment is changed to “Incomplete” and “Time to Completion” is updated correctly. However, there is no any slot in the Dispatch Console or any other place to assign this remaining 1 hour as an assignment.If we Incomplete an assignment from MWO by choosing the option “Needs to be planned”, then we can suggest a Resource Group and Preferred Resource while we incomplete the assignment. Then only, assignment slot appears in the dispatch console. But, what will happen when a technician only Incomplete work by giving remaining time to complete?TIA.
Hi all,where can a Package part number actually be used?We trying to use a Package Part in the material Tab of a Request Work Task, but does not seem to work.It cant be added as a sales part in a contract line of a Request Contract as well.Can this somehow be used in anything else than a direct Customer Order?Thanks,
Hello Community, For Notify me mobile app, when users are logging in they are getting the following error. All the relevant configuration is done. When user log in with ifsapp, then the application works properly. For specific user following permission set has been created and granted. For Notify me in, is there any sperate permission which needs to be granted?
Hi, I have a requirement which is to be able to trigger multiple surveys on MWO using the same Workflow Type. E.g have Survey 1 then Survey 2 then Survey 3 trigger on MWO after “Completed - After”. When I’ve tried this with the the surveys all assigned to the same step to trigger. MWO selects only one of the surveys to trigger which is not correct for my use case as I want ALL surveys to trigger one after another. Is there anyway to do this for with the Workflow Configuration Type = “Request Task”? (IFS Cloud 25R2) The workaround for this would be to create a main survey for Survey 1 and then Survey 2 and 3 as child surveys. Thought I’d check here in case there’s a better way.
We have recently upgrade to 25R2, and there are few screens added recently Service>Scheduling>Resources, Activities, Map, Assistance but unable to see any data in these screens.I can access the PSO and can see all the resources activities etc but these screens are blank.Any idea on the above, thanks!!
Hi All,It is possible to incomplete or cancel an assignment sent to mobile from Backoffice. Additionally, is there anyway to changing the status to other way? Any tricks?Use Case: Technician is working in offline area and started work. Due to the SLA requirement, the status of the work task should be changed to a status such as “On Route” or “Work Started”. However, since the technician is offline, the status is not updated simultaneously. The Backoffice cannot update the status since it is downloaded to the mobile.Does anyone have an idea on how to handle a situation like this? TIA.
Hello,While creating a calendar based PM Action with WO generation lead time, the ‘remaining to due’ field is including the weekends as well even though the Maintenance Calendar excludes weekends.For example: The start date in the maintenance trigger is set to 23/02/2026 and the WO generation lead time is set to 1. The expectation is the Due Date should be considered as 20/02/2026 and automatically generate the WO based on the database task scheduled which does not work.But in the Maintenance Plan, the remaining to due field shows the number of days as 3 including the weekends. If we have the WO generation lead time as 3, then I’m able to trigger the WO using database task. I believe the due date and remaining to due fields must exclude weekends as per the calendar but can someone please confirm if this is the expected behavior?
Hello,In IFS Cloud 25R2, when we remove the security group ‘ContactLists’ from the security grants by permission set for MWO permission, it should not display the ‘Contacts’ screen in MWO service. But even after removing the security group, the screen is still visible in MWO. This screen is unavailable in the Navigation designer. Is it a bug in 25R2, please let me know?
Hi All, I have an issue with adding Fixed Price sales parts to invoice preview after I adding them to a request scope.I’m using a fixed price price rule where everything related to request work task is charged with a fixed price sales part. Then, I need to add some additional sales parts to the scope via “Price Details” option in the request’s “Cost & Sales”. However, added sales parts are not appeared in the invoice preview. I tried with a different price rule and tried with adding sales parts in both Actual and Planning fixed prices. But, cannot get sales parts to invoice preview. Original sales part is only there. Any idea? I’m working in 25R2 environment. TIA.
Hi all,I would like to check if anyone has experienced a similar behavior or if this should be raised as a potential bug.According to IFS documentation and standard behavior:Pool Task: the first user who accepts the task becomes the owner; the task is removed from the pool for all other users. Pool‑Keep: multiple users can accept the task; individual assignments are created and the task remains visible in the pool until explicitly removed.I am currently working on IFS Cloud 25R2 using the Maintenance MWO mobile app, and I am facing an issue where the Pool‑Keep functionality does not seem to work when a Resource Group (resource demand) is specified on the Work Task. In detail, when I define a Resource Group on the task, then select Transfer to Mobile and choose Pool – Keep Task, the task is correctly shown in the app as “resource group specified”, but as soon as one technician accepts the task, it immediately disappears from Pool Work and is no longer visible to other technicians.

Is there a way to sort work task by allocated start date ex: Add “Today” as the allocatd start date Add a period fro the alloactd start ex: from 2/16/2026 to 2/23/2026or befere 2/23/2026
I am using the IFS MWO Service Classic App for Windows. When I press the button “Map position” for a specific task, the browser opens with the URL in the formathttps://www.bing.com/maps?sp=point.48.50457_9.16469_Location&lvl=16&cp=49.465179%7E11.020507&style=r But, this does not work for me. It does not center the map and I don’t get any pin. It would work for me if the URL is given in this form:https://www.bing.com/maps?q=48.50457,9.16469 Is this a bug, windows specific or can I adjust the format of the URL by myself?
Within the Workflow Configuration the fuction of “Mandatory” for Attachments seems to be not working.Expected results is when a workflow has select of “Mandatory” for attachments the Request should not be allowed to finish without an attachment.
Hi everyone,I need some clarification regarding the IFS MWO Maintenance App for ComputerWhen I open an object and click on "Map Position", instead of seeing the asset’s map location, I only see my current position.At the moment, we are unable to use IFS MWO mobile app on a device. Does anyone know if there is a specific setting that needs to be enabled for the “Map Position” to display the asset’s location instead of the user’s current location?Alternatively, is this a known behavior or possibly a bug in the desktop app?Thanks in advance for any insights!
We have 1200 Task Cards for a prototype work that we want to revise and update. Those Task Cards may have up to 20 subtasks. We have a problem that the Task Card ID it self now has the prototype ID in it. So we want to edit this text.In addition we want to be able to make revisions of a Task Card for other reasons also. The only way we’ve found to edit the Task Card ID is to duplicate the Task Card, leaving us with an almost empty Task Card, where we need to manually add all requirements, sign-offs and subtasks. And if we try to edit the Task Card, we aren’t allowed to edit the Task Card ID (understandable) or the Task Card Revision (?). We can change the Revision Date, but not the revision number. Are there any standard way to revise a Task Card, giving us a new Task Card with a new Revision Number? We are now considering data migration. Our version is 25R1.3. Br,Øystein
Hello,In earlier versions of IFS, it would prevent you from cancelling or incompleting work assignments in IFS, IF they existed on the engineers device (IFS MWO). This logic has been changed in IFS Cloud, and the functionality is now possible. However this then creates more issues in that we receive lots of failed transactions on a daily basis due to back office cancelling assignments when they are still on the IFS MWO app. Since IFS are unlikely to reverse the logic to enforce the validation again, I was wondering if anyone can provide guidance on the logic required to create our own custom event to prevent cancellation/incomplete in IFS Cloud, IF the assignment is still transferred to the engineer? ThanksShaun
