Support & Services FAQs and Help

HiNew to the Community Forum as a Partner - I was just wondering if anyone had come across any way in the Academy Courses to review Knowledge Check questions, once you’ve passed the Knowledge Check? I got one question wrong so, I would like to know which one it was I got wrong so that I can bone up on the course material for that particular section before proceeding to the final Knowledge Check.Is there any way to do this? Many thanks.

Hi All, In the Past when we had Serial Object related items delivered to Customers and activated these Customers and products (Serial Objects) as Consignment stock we saw that the parts where in Inventory at the Customer.Than when we created an RMA to return these Parts.When the product arrived we try to receive, but than the system would generate the following message :“ First the product needs to be consumed, before you can receive it “We than had to go to the “Customer Consigment Consumptions” and click Report Consumed. At that point the ownership was transferred from Company owned into Customer owned.We than would go back to the RMA and receive it in our stock as company owned again, without any problems.This was the case in 22R1/22R2, which was really good!The only thing we saw was that when the customer was not the same on the RMA than where the stock was laying we would not receive a message and we had the product

I’m working on a project to clean-up and update all the Building Addresses for our offices.My thought was if I had an SQL DB that assyst could pull and synch the location Data, we could automate the changes in assyst whenever the SQL DB is updated. But I couldn’t find what I was looking for, probably due to not knowing what I should be looking for in the docs.I’ve checked the assystETM, and Database Table: Building documents online,  which if I’m not mistaken, if I created a table that matches the Table structure it could be imported.Any ideas and/or suggestions greatly appreciated.C.

Hi. Changes this big should not be hidden inside periodical maintenance notifications. This change in email usage has a great possibility to do massive harm in the capabilities for communication between the vendor and customer. In our case we have a light (and sufficient) email-integration in use between our own and IFS’ ticket portals. Now it’s unclear if this will work from now on. It is vital to have it working. Will get back to this after talking about it  in more detail with our IFS consultant.

Hello everyone,We are using ifs print agent on 2 differents computers (Windows 11 OS, 16giga ram and the computer is not doing anything else excepted executing print agent 24/24 and 7/7) for our production labels.We are on ifs cloud latest release and version.For some unknow reason sometimes one of the print agent stop to work (sometimes the rest services and server avaibility turns to red, sometimes it’s still displaying “status ok” but in reality nothing work anymore). The log file isn’t telling us why and the origin of the problem.It also already happen that both ifs print agent on both computer stopped at the same time, we had to uninstall/reinstall the print agent to make it work again.Does anyone else already experienced that kind of problem ? It is mandatory to install this on a “dedicated” server ?Thanks for tips and answers.

Is there any guidance on the types of requests that can & cannot be made via the IFS Service Centre? We have raised many ‘advice & guidance’ cases as Service Requests and we receive inconsistent responses to them. Sometimes the case owner is very helpful & other times we are told that a Consulting Request is required.Incidents & Consulting Requests are generally bit easier to define (i.e. it was working previously & now isn’t or seeking expertise to advise on new functionality/capabilities) but there seems to be a bit of a grey area between the around what is/isn’t covered by a Service Request. Some guidance on the limits of support would be useful.
