Custom Field Blank

Hello, 

 

I have been working through creating custom fields for the ProjectBalance LU I am trying to have Category1_id, Category2_id, and DEFAULT_CHAR_TEMP all from the Project LU added as columns. I added all 3 fields successfully but they coming up blank. These are supposed to be read-only fields as well.

 

Both Category2 and Char Template are using referenced fields and then I tried to use SQL to pull in the data but either way it is coming up blank. 

 

Does anyone know why or can lead me in the direction to figure out what might be going on?

 

Thanks,

Eli

Hi @Eli_Williams 

 

When I try the same example in our internal reference environment, I could not add custom fields to the Projects Analysis page (only custom menu’s could be added).

 

Project Analysis, Disabled custom field options
​​​​

I investigate on this a little bit more and found out that the custom fields are not enabled for all the Logical units or pages in the IFS Application due to various design limitations. These restrictions are enforced by RnD either to Logical Unit level or to Page level. The Projects Analysis is a page with page level custom field restrictions.

 

The page “Project Analysis” belongs to LU “ProjectBalance” is enforced with LU level custom field restrictions from the bug 153492 by App10 UPD9, could be due to the issues of this nature.

 

Hope this information helps.

Hi @Eli_Williams ,

 

Check whether data available for the category1_id for the given project ids.

You may try out a query like below in pl sql or  sql query tool in IFS EE

SELECT t.category1_id from PROJECT t
WHERE t.project_id = '1151-8'

Hello @Dumeesha Wanigarathna,

 

Thank you for your response. There is not one for 1151-8 but there is data available for 1160-19 and data available for the one after that too which is 116-20 and a few others on the list that I have. 

Is there something else you would like me to try?

 

 

Thanks, 

Eli

Hi @Eli_Williams,

 

Could you please send me the full screen picture of your first image. Is this the bottom part of the Structure Project Analysis window?

HI @Shardha Weeratunga, 

This is the Projects Analysis window from the Financials-->Project Accounting → GL Project Analysis and Reports → Projects Analysis

HI @Shardha Weeratunga , 

 

Thank you so much. I’ll mark your answer as solved as it looks like there is not a fix at this time and research what other workarounds we may have for this. 

 

Thanks, 

Eli Williams
