Hi, I noticed there are several lines in the Work Task Posting Analysis window with the following error:The period 4 is closed in Company 200I would appreciate help to determine what is causing this error.  Period 4 is a future period, so there should be no transactions for period 4 yet but I’d like to know what/why this is happening so we can prevent it from happening again.  

Does anyone have a permission set designed for TimeTracker 2.1.XX? We have 2.1.10 installed on our Apps9 on-prem instance, and there is no “Generate Role Script”. I have an older permission set from 1.4.0, but it is missing a lot. I was able to glean some of the missing information from errors in the log, and now I can login to TimeTracker on my android phone, but get an error that I’m missing “basic data “ and I can’t do anything. It isn’t missing any basic data, as when I login as the app owner, there is no such error. Enclosed is a screen shot of the config screen showing that there is no option to generate the permission set. 

 Hello AllPlease advice on how to untick the check box for Allow Multiple Devices for MWO 

We use eforms as part of surveys to capture data from field techs in the field.Recently we began seeing delays in mobile syncing and I am wondering if there are limitations to the use of eforms on mobile.We use multiple pools and can have up 4000 work orders in various pools along with objects syncing to the mobile devices.We use a Windows Surface Pro 8G RAM Windows10 mobile device. I tried to find how the TAS on Prem works with the MWS and DB and cannot find any specifics as to properly tuning or sizing recommendations.We are on APPS9 UD14, mwo 2.8.0.215 I appreciate your feedback.Thank you

We have created a customer service contract with an invoice rule to add a 4% markup on the items we’re buying for a customer.  We would like to know if there is a way to configure the service contract and /or work orders so that if we’re shipping a specific sales part to a customer there is no markup.ie  Sales Line 290 below should have 0% markup instead of the default 4% derived from the Invoice Rule on the Customer Service Contract 

I need to make the technician signature as mandetory in debrief workflow summary screen, without which task wouldn't be completed. Can anybody suggest on this?

We are currently on Apps8 going to Apps10. The workflow I describe below works in Apps 8, but not in Apps 10.Our installation workflow begins with a Customer Order (Sales) and ends with a Work Order (non-billed Service).The Customer Order is created and completed for one Site and the related Work Order is created and completed in a different Site. Also, Customer Order has one Customer Number (distributor) and Work Order has a different Customer Number (end-user). IFS 10 is requiring a matching Site and Customer Number between Customer Order and Work Order, but this won’t work for our business practices.Any suggestions or ideas? Open to IEE10 and Aurena for possible solutions.Thanks.

We create work orders for re-active jobs and enter the customers purchase order number in the ‘Reference No’ field under the CO Information tab.To invoice, we create an entry in the Postings tab and Transfer it to Customer Order. When we create the customer order from this posting line, we wish the value in the ‘Reference No’ field of the work order, to automatically populate the ‘Customer PO No’ field on the header section of the Customer Order.I have created a custom event to fire once the customer order is created, however I am unsure if a custom action (Execute Online SQL) could be used to add this value to the field. Can anyone advise if this is possible and point me towards the correct syntax for such an event?

We are using the Service Quotation functionality. We are updating costs via the Operations and Other Demands tabs (within the Work Order tab).When performing updates which change the Cost or Selling price of a quotation, the ‘Calculation Required’ field should become ticked to indicate that the user should perform a RMB ‘Calculate Total Cost and Quoted Price’. However, there are certain actions that do not tick this box, even though the actions themselves will have an effect on the Cost and Selling price. I have noted below the instances of where this box does/doesn’t tick. The end result is that users can potentially proceed with a quote, without the totals in the ‘Quotation Totals’ tab being accurate. Does Tick Creating new line in Operations tab Deleting line in Operations tab Changing Sales Part in Operations tab Creating new line in Other Demands tab Deleting line in Other Demands  tab Changing the Cost field in Other Demands  tab  Doesn't Tick Changing Planned Hours in Operations

We are moving from IFS9 to IFS10 IEE client. I just got the package delivered this week of 10 and I am working to understand all of the changes and upgrades that were done to figure out how to best utilize the updates. So far I have noticed locations, work tasks, basic data changes, & date configuration changes. I am wondering if there is a good resource to view training videos or to get help understanding the updates and how IFS views the customers to use them efficiently. So far it feels like Tasks are just another layer that may slow us down in the office until I figure out how to properly utilize them as we don’t have a lot of our own technicians in the field and work with many outside contractors to do our service work & ship parts to directly to customers or 3rd party technicians etc. We will be looking into the mobile application for the few field technicians and engineers we do have and possibly B2B for customers and contractors in the future as well, but I need to get
