Hello IFS Community, we have multiple fields in IFS that have a Date and Time like the one in this picture, but when we try to search i can’t see the option to filter the time, only the date.. is there an option that we might be missing?  we are in version 24R2  

Hi All,I wanted to check if anyone here has implemented a third-party Sales Configurator, specifically Tacton, integrated with IFS Cloud.We’re looking to better understand: How the Tacton integration with IFS was designed and implemented Key considerations during setup (e.g., CTO vs non-CTO approaches) Challenges faced during the implementation Lessons learned or best practices from your experienceAny insights, recommendations, or examples you can share would be greatly appreciated and will help us evaluate the best approach for our requirements.

Dear Community,  we are facing the problem that in the production (service company), they often should send a sealing, glue or whatever based on the pick-list. But know knowing the face of the product, even though they chip the correct label, they can grab the wrong one next to it.  Therefore, it happens that one glue is +1 and one glue is -1. They are very similar value but different code. Is there any way to correct this (they work with material requirements mainly) without the listed inventory difference? Something like exchange done in the warehouse? Switch parts?  Thank you,PetaKu

Hello people, I’d like to ask a question in regards to automating a feature Forward authorization available in my purchase order authorizations. My team and i don’t want to go for a development project for this but would like to know if it could be done somehow via Workflows or event action or via some ways in IFS.The requirement is to be able to move into a defined authorizer if the current authorizer go into vacation or does not approve in a define time period say 5days or whatever. Currently we use Substitue each and every time, but ideally if there’s a possibility to automate that, it would be awesome.  Thanks for your help.   

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionThe event NEXT_AUTH_PUR_REQ_LINE has an event action PurchReqLineApproval (Email), which sends an email notification to authorisers for purchase requisition lines that need approval.In the email body, details such as Requisition No, Line No, Part No, and Step No are included. However, when authorisers receive this email, they must manually open the relevant page, apply filters, and locate the exact record. This process is time consuming and requires additional manual effort.Therefore, customers are seeking a solution to include a hyperlink in the email body, allowing users to directly open the relevant record in IFS Cloud. This would significantly improve efficiency and reduce manual work.B. Context and scope1) Who is affected?​​​Customers2) Frequency​​​FrequentlyC.

On the Inv Part in Stock line it shows a Reserved Qty of 5. However when drilling down to the Reservation Details there are none.  Is there a way to trigger a fresh calculation of the Reserved Qty? We are running 25R1Thank you!Catherine

Hello all, Has IFS added the ability to utilize the customer consignment sales process with configured to order manufactured parts? 10 and prior, it was not possible. Thanks,Rich 

Hi all,I was little surprised  that we dont have any screen in IFS which can tell me to historic inventory transaction and inventory on hand at that time….  I was looking the “ inventory Transaction History ”I am able to see the inventory transaction but it does not have any field which will tell the running total ??? Can any one tell me if such functionality is exist  but i am not just aware of it? 

Dear IFS TeamWhile testing the  Warehouse Route Order on Bin level, I’ve noticed that the Pick List for the Shipment will not be sorted according to the Route Order logic when the Source Ref Type is “Shipment Order”.For the other common objects like Customer Order, Shop Order or Material Requisition it works fine.I guess this is due to the fact that Shipment Order is a “new” function in IFS Cloud.Can someone from the IFS Team verify whether this is an official gap?BR Nikola  

Hello, I have a setup with a customer where company A can take out material from Company B´s warehouse  via internal trade setup. As company A might pick up more material than needed they often get back and return material to Company B´s warehouse.  How do we make this by best practice? RMA? But as the invoice is already matched automatically with the PO at Company B we cannot change the received amount and match the credit invoice automatically. OR what am I missing here? :) If you do RMA you register arrival for the RMA but the PO is not adjusted? Thanks for any input!

I have a sales charge type that must be calculated based on the quantities shipped on a shipment.  The customer order may have multiple shipments but the charges must be calculated per shipment and added to the shipment invoice. I see that the charge is calculated for the entire order and added to the first shipment invoice.  I can calculate it manually and add on the customer order after every shingle shipment, but I want to know if it can be configured to do what I need… calculated based on quantities shipped and add to shipment invoice.  Thanks in advance !

 We operate multiple legal entities within the same IFS database and have a business requirement that users of one company should not be able to access or view data belonging to another company unless specifically authorized. While this segregation is supported in many areas of IFS, we have identified concerns regarding Supplier management.To avoid duplicate supplier records, we have implemented a validation that prevents the creation of suppliers with the same Tax Registration Number. As a result, a single supplier record may be connected to multiple companies.We would like clarification on the following limitations and whether they are expected standard behavior:Company-Specific Supplier RestrictionsWe have scenarios where a supplier should be available for procurement in one company but blocked from procurement activities in another company. Currently, we do not see a standard way to restrict supplier visibility or usage for procurement on a company-specific basis.Finance-Only Suppl

Hi,Is there a method to update Customer Order Lines in bulk on the Customer Order Lines? For example, can I update the first three Customer Order Lines to a Single Address at the same time?  

Hi All,Is there any possibility that we can exclude the Shipment Order from MRP Planning.My business scenario is where, my customer maintain their demands inside the project as project demands. Supplies are generated based on the project demand and then I need to move this stock to a off site location (Cross borders). But when I create a shipment order and add the part to a shipment order, that relect in “Inventory part availability planning” page.And when I run the PMRP and MRP supplies are created for both project demand and shipment order. Ideally its an inventory movement. Is there a way that I can exclude the shipment orders from MRP planning?Thanks,Chamath

25.1.7I have a  part with two Part Revisions, 1 and 2.This is an Export Controlled Part. When I want to assign a Primary Classification, Classification Scheme, and Export Control Code, neither Part Revision 1 or 2 is listed in the Revision No dropdown.Why are these revisions not in the dropdown?The field description for Revision No:The revision number of the part. If the part has had several revisions, the revision number will be stated. The revision number is automatically generated by the system. This is the number that designates a current or past version of a part or assembly. If IFS/Manufacturing Standards is not installed, the Part Revision value is set to 1. If IFS/Manufacturing Standards is installed, the value is retrieved from the Revision No field on the Manufacturing Standards/Part Revision and Attributes/Part Revision page. When registering purchase order arrival the value is retrieved from the respective purchase order line. For a number of transactions where a relevant r

Hello all, I looked here and I did not find a solution to my problem. Here is the situation : I have a purchase part with PCS unit but when I received 1.8 PCS out of 4 there is no blocking. Is there any parameter/way to do it please? thanks

This Service Request Task creates demand for parts on the Site (BFC-F). Perfect!IPAP shows the demand for the material on the request task #33. Perfect!We need to somehow show material demand on a “specific remote warehouse” for this service task (based on the functional/serial object). Service Tech will pick up material at RW.Has anyone tied supply chain demand to service tasks and how did you do this using remote warehouses?On IFS Cloud 25R2 

Hello everyone,I would like to ask whether anyone using IFS Demand Planner is working not only with a standard sales forecast but also with constrained demand.In our current setup, we are using Demand Planner where the forecast is maintained in the Adjusted Forecast. This forecast is then transferred to the Master Schedule and serves as the basis for both procurement and production planning.However, we are facing a common challenge:The forecast often represents unconstrained demand, i.e., what sales teams would like to sell, without reflecting actual production or capacity constraints. Alternatively, the planning team adjusts the forecast down to a constrained demand level, so that it better reflects what we are realistically able to produce and deliver.I would be interested to understand how others are handling this:Are you working with both unconstrained and constrained demand in parallel? How do you incorporate capacity constraints into your planning process? Do you manage this dire

Cloud 24R1 - The need is Supplier Request document attachments to be brought over to the Supplier record when created from the Supplier Request.I tried creating an OCT as per the screen shot. The Supplier_ID key does exist in the SupplierRequest, but I think it's not working as it's a populated field instead of a Key field. When I run the test, it states it has “passed” however the Source Key populates with REQUEST_ID, not SUPPLIER_ID.Any solution here? Or not a feasible solution? 

CLOUD 24R1Scenario: Prerrequisites: Handling unit type with packaging material part associated and ‘Reusable’ option enabled.Go to the Inventory part in stock and select a part that has not handling unit connected. Select the option to Pack according to Handling unit Capacity and enter the quantity to pack for an specific Handling unit type.  The part is packed with an specific handling unit ID. The packaging material of the handling unit type is consumed automatically and issue from the stock If I go again to the Inventory part in stock and select the part that I have just packed and select ‘Unattach from handling unit’ for unpack, the system will not receive again the packaging part into stock to be able to be used again for another packing. The quantity on hand of the packaging material should not be increased?Thank you in advance.

The german translation for the part serial history field OrderType is missing. All the other attributes are translated, but this is missing.   Product Version: 25.2.4

Do we have a functionality in IFS to register charges/costs in Shipment Orders (no customer order link)? The company may use Courier service company (e.g uber) to move parts between different sites in the same company and the cost want to be registered.  Thank you! 

I have a scenario where I want to create a credit invoice of 2 inventory sales parts and 1 non inventory sales part. The two inventory sales parts should also be returned, so an RMA is created. However IFS is also expecting me to return the non-inventory sales part even though there is no physical part to receive.  Anyone who has had the same scenario and have a good process?  I want all to be on the same credit invoice and having to create 2 different credit invoices and do collective seems as to much work. Is there a setting on the parts that can make a part obsolete from the whole register arrival proces? 

I have seen a lot of discussion on this topic.  Many of them seem dated over a year ago up to 3 years ago.  We have a requirement to bill monthly on a fixed day and rate per month.  Has functionality been enhanced to include a monthly rental duration UoM.   Also what is the best way to handle this?  We are in ifscloud version 24R2. Thank you,Ed  

I want to close the project for that we want ETC value  =0 , we checked with technical from backend its already zero but in fronend showing value.
