Hi Community In all of our companies, the following property under the company details is null.  That means, when the multi company employee confirms the time, the Project Manager need not approve for cost accounting right? But only for 2 companies it works as expected. For the rest, the PM needs to approve. How come the behavior is different for 2 companies only? Is there another setting that I am missing here? This is 24.1.9Thanks,Asela  

Hello, Any tip or testexam for the projectmodule? Is there a timeline when you take the exam?Is there any opportunities to retake the test if you fail?

Hi Everyone,We have observed an issue in the Subcontract module in the 25R1 environment. Scenario: A subcontract, its revision, and items are created. A valuation is created, and ‘Valuation value’ is entered at the item level. When trying to receive the application, the following information message appears:“Application Total Values are not entered on some items.”  (Note: There is only one item available)  Current Workaround:Manually updating the Application Work Value automatically updates the Application Total Value. After this manual update, the application can be received without that information message. Questions / Observations: Once the Valuation Value is updated, shouldn’t the Application Work Value update automatically as well? Is there a way to automate this update, so manual intervention is not required? Are there any impacts on pre-postings if the Application Work Value is left blank?  We would appreciate guidance from the community regarding the correct approach or

Hi Experts, I would appreciate if you can help me to understand the functionality of ‘Create WIP Accounting’ in Project Management Module.Thank you.

The Forecast Version ID field in the Project> Margin tab does not get populated with the latest approved forecast as the reference forecast for some projects only. It updates for 90% projects but does not update automatically for some. We know it can be done manually but does anyone knows the answer why it is not populating automatically with the recently approved forecast details?  

When trying to approve Project Transactions in IFS Cloud. If I select all of the transactions (960) and click Approval for Cost Accounting I get this error. I can only do 500 or less transactions at a time. Are there limitations to the number of records you can mass update?

Hello! Is there any availible testquestion for the projectmodule certifications?

Hi,  (IFS Cloud - 24R2) I have a Sales Contract Item that’s linked to a Project Activity. I want the Revenue from this line to appear on my Project Activity as Planned Revenue. I can see the below from the Help Pages - my question is which posting control linked to this set up? The help page is not too helpful at specifying.   

Hi everyone, We’re currently exploring whether it’s possible to attach a Project Activity when pre-posting a Purchase Requisition, without connecting it from the line-level Project connection. Has anyone come across a setup or configuration that allows this, or is the line-level connection mandatory in this scenario? Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Regards,Navoda

Hi ,I’m working with a standalone project (not linked to a sales contract/ Subcontract) in IFS Cloud and need to increase the project scope by adding one more installation site.I can see there’s a “Contract Change Order” function, but I am not sure if that is useful in my scenario.Could someone please guide me on: The correct steps to add new activities or cost elements through the change order How the approval process works and how it updates the baseline project Any screenshots or examples would be really helpful!Thanks in advanceL

Is there a way to get MTRs to ignore remote warehouses connected to the same site?We use a remote warehouse for consumables in the GMP production suites. This was to isolate it from our main warehouse and for the ability to use the Refill functionality to generate replenishment transport tasks. But we keep getting MTRs for the material in the remote warehouse, instead of the material in the main warehouse.

Our client has a time reporting setup as follows:Employee: Report time and confirm time Line Manager: Authorize time Project Manager: Approve timeHowever, can project time approval for cost accounting be controlled until the line manager authorizes the time?

Hi Everyone,In both Sales Contracts and Sub Contracts, we have set up retention. While executing the contracts, I noticed a difference in how retention impacts the project figures. For example, in a Sales Contract with a total value of 400,000 and a 10% retention, once the Application for Payment is submitted, the Project Posted Revenue is updated to 360,000, with the 40,000 retention correctly deducted.However, in the Sub Contract, once the valuation is certified, the Used Cost is updated without deducting the retention amount. The main issue I’ve identified is that, in the Sales Contract, the Planned Revenue reflects the total contract value, while the Posted Revenue is updated with the retention deducted. In contrast, in the Sub Contract, both the Planned Cost and Used Cost reflect the total contract value without deducting the retention. Could anyone please confirm if this is the expected system behavior or if there might be a configuration or process I’m missing?I would really app

Hi All,When Time Registration is performed in the Projects module for a Contractor, an additional level of detail is revealed where a mandatory PO and PO Line have to be selected.However, when recording time on a Work Task, the selection of a PO and PO Line is not required and no PO connection is required.My indicator for specifying a Resource as a Contractor for Work Task purposes is when the Site Settings on the Maintenance/Service tab for the Resource has a Supplier ID specified.Was there a good reason why the PO and PO Line is not required when registering time for a Contractor on a Work Task ?

Hello everybody,We are going to upgrade to IFS 25R1 and now we have a fresh IFS 25R1 installation. We are testing IFS 25R1 with our data.Unfortunately, we are experiencing troubles when accessing our projects:The project structure tree is not displayed in ‘Project Scope and Schedule’ page The project structure tree is not displayed in ‘Project Gantt’ page When trying to approve or schedule a new project, the following message is displayed:   “You cannot perform this function because your user does not have access to the project or all the subprojects belonging to the project "<Project ID>". Contact the project  manager to review your project access privileges.” This is true for all projects even if I am set as the Project Manager and also the manager of all sub-projects.Currently we are running IFS 23R2 SU 17 without any issues. I can view project structure, Ganttt Charts, approve and schedule any projects even if I am not defined as the ptoject manager, because I have admin priv

Issue Description:In project invoices, the net amount appears incorrect on certain lines. While the discrepancies are usually minor, they cause issues when we send the invoices electronically using the Peppol format. This format validates the quantity, unit price, and total price, which results in rejections of these invoices. As a result, we are forced to send them to the customer manually, bypassing electronic invoicing.Environment: IFS Cloud 24R1 Regional TestDetails:Test Plan:>> Log in using the provided test user credentials.Pre-requisiteCreate MCPR set up Set system decimal places as 2>> Create a few projects transactions as create sales amount with few decimal values.>> Create a project InvoiceIssue-In the project invoice line, the Net amount slightly deviates from the actual calculation (Price × Quantity)In this example line, the quantity is 55 and the unit price 36.5. The net amount is shown as 2007.54 but when we calculate 55*36.5 the net amount should be 20

Hi.We have a custom field called Remaining Hours in Activity Resource Planning that calculates Planned Hours - Reported Hours into a new field. The query works fine for the most part, but we’ve noticed an issue with the field though, where if there are multiple reports under the same Resource Group, but with different Report Codes (e.g WORK & TRAVEL), one of the rows will not calculate properly.Resource Group 11117 with 2 different report codes, not calculating remaining hours properly for the 2nd row.The query itself is as follows:SELECT (CASE WHEN Qty_Planned IS NOT NULL AND Qty_Used IS NOT NULL THEN (QTY_PLANNED - QTY_USED) ELSE Qty_Planned END)From ACTIVITY_RESOURCE_PROJWHERE RESOURCE_ID=:RESOURCE_ID AND ACTIVITY_SEQ=:ACTIVITY_SEQ Any help with a solution to this issue would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Hi Friends, I am facing below issue while processing the customer invoice with errors.Kindly help.Using IFS - 8 version Regards,Nag

Hi,In the documentation, IFS states:“Tags with serial information can be automatically created on items. This happens if the serials have been reserved on items, and once the purchase order or shop order is fully processed and the serials are received into inventory. Tags with serial information will be created as serial objects, once copied to Equipment.”However, I am really struggling with this. My part is serial-tracked. I have: created a material plan with supply from a shop order, reserved a serial number, created and received the shop order, and shipped the item line. But when I use Copy to Equipment, nothing happens and the tags remain blank.When I try to assign a tag (without a serial number), the system shows the following error (see picture).The item is already shipped, and the item in the project deliverables is marked as completed.Can someone please help me with this?

Hi,I have a question about transferring data from the Project Resource Forecast to Resource Planning.It’s currently possible to create multiple entries for the same Resource ID in the Project Resource Forecast. However, when I select Transfer to Resource Planning, only one of those entries is transferred. Could you clarify why this happens?Since the system permits multiple identical rows to be created and transferred without triggering any error messages, I would expect all of them to be included in the transfer. However, since this is not the case, there is a risk of inaccurate resource planning- especially if users are unaware that some lines are not being transferred.Thanks in advance for your help :)

We are trying to make changes to an Activity but get this error message: Does anyone know how to clear this? 

When a person uses Budgeting and Forecasting, they will determine estimates that may or may not match the estimates from the Project (Project Monitoring).  Our customer wants to keep these in sync and is incredulous that we don’t have tools to update the project from the budget/forecast.  At least to the best of my knowledge we don’t.  This forces the user to have to update in Budgeting and Forecasting, then update the project, which can be tedious and prone to error and time consuming.It seems that the logic to update the estimate from the forecast is pretty straightforward.  Has anyone done this?  Is there any move by RnD to add this capability?Thank you./Patrick
