Support & Services FAQs and Help

We have several Sites on our IFS system.  One of the sites, I get an error that states User is not authorized to cancel an invoice.  How do I add myself as a user to cancel invoices?

I am in the process of setting up users to report their employees times using the time card. I have provided access to the TimeCardManagerHandling projection and still does not give them access. I have tested other projections as well and all still gives them the same error about not having granted permission. I am not sure if there is a better way than the debug console to help find the projection I am looking for. Thanks.

Is there anything we can do to clear this warning.  

I am looking to restrict users to having to utilize the list of values when entering a customer’s address in the General Address Info on the Customer Record.Right now, the IFS native field is both free type and has the option to use the list of values.Is there a way to lock the field so that it is no longer free type - and users HAVE to use the list of values? Any help here is much appreciated  

Is it a bad idea to grant IFSCONNECT access to sites?  Are the any negative consequences?

Hi!I was redirected here with following Question:“I tried working with split and interrupt activity and found some interesting behavior. If I don't have implicit breaks defined in the shift, the process behaves correctly, the original long activity will be divided and the urgent activity will be scheduled. However, if there is an implicit break in the shift, then the original activity is not split and the urgent activity is not planned at all.Could you please advise me what I need to set so that it splits even with an implicit break?PSO StandaloneThanks for help! “In attachments I am sending saved schedule, please and thank you for Help!

Hi, I’m going through the IFS Cloud Essentials training and I cannot fast forward or rewind. I’ve tried it in Chrome and in Edge. Even once I’ve finished a course and it’s marked as “Complete”, if I want to watch it again, I have to watch the entire thing. I’m sure you can understand why this is hampering my ability to learn. Thoughts?

I got this notification below, but it seems to take me to links that work for resetting the password for the old portal. Is there a link for resetting the password for the new customer portal?

I should have an account at IFS Academy but cannot login.  When utilizing the password resetting tool, it is not sending any emails back to indicate a reset. There is information on who should be contacted (academy@ifs.com), but limited action taken, if any.  I have contacted academy for a week now with no resolution. Each time I send an email, Academy indicates they have put a ticket in and in 48 hours all should be resolved.  A week later, and no resolution has been achieved.  Perhaps there is something on my end that is wrong?

Is there a place to learn more information on IFS besides the Academy and Help Pages? The Academy seems lacking in basic how to use while the help pages are vague. They don’t show examples or basic tutorials.  Thanks!

Hello :  Is it possible to have more than 4 contacts in an IFS service portal?

I got all signed up and figured out which courses I wanted to go through, but when viewing them, they will play about 70% complete, then fail to finish.  I thought maybe it was a Chrome issue, so I logged into IFS Academy in Microsoft Edge and still behaved the same way.Has anyone had this experience?   Thanks, Michael

I am currently running the support desk for our IFS Apps 9 application, servicing over 350 full license users. Am struggling a bit to keep up with demand for usual service items, permission sets, user amendments, general functionality questions alongside a backlog of change requests (Some large, some not so big) alongside Projects, and a potential upgrade. I also have a number of integrations that always require supportI have an analyst, and a developer who helps from time to time but is dedicated to the business. We have a small technical team that look after the on-prem servers, but thats about it. What size teams are typical for similar businesses? We use the HR with health and safety, SFWB, Finance, Service, Relationship Management, Supply chain  to mention a few along with a fair amount of config. We have a small pot of funds to support configurations that are out of my knowledge base and some functional support. Its a fai
