Upgrades & Updates

Hello,As we began applying the Release Update 24R2, we noticed that a new component, WRKTSK, has been introduced as part of this release. Several APIs (entities, utilities, and enumerations) have been moved from the existing WO component to WRKTSK.We have customized approximately 30 APIs from this list, and now we need to uplift these APIs from WO to WRKTSK. Could you please advise on the best approach to carry out this task?While using the Impact Analyzer tool, we noticed that the results don't provide sufficient comparison details (screenshot attached for reference).Additionally, we are unable to find a way to download all the core files of 24R2 to analyze how the WRKTSK files have impacted our customizations.Has a

Hi,I am reaching out to connect and discuss how various IFS customers are approaching their upgrade to IFS Cloud. We are in the Food and Beverage manufacturing sector, currently using IFS Applications 10 EE, and are in the process of planning our move to IFS Cloud. We are trying to determine whether to opt for a re-implementation or a technical upgrade, considering all the factors involved.I am specifically keen to learn about others' experiences and understand the timeframe you either plan to take or have taken to transition from APPS10 to IFS Cloud.I welcome all responses and connections!Thanks,Jack

We have purchased some LTU licenses and I have uploaded these permission sets into our IFS Cloud environment.  Can anyone tell me if I need to get an updated version of these LTU permission sets for Service Updates?  I am aware I need to ask for updated permission set for Release Updates, but unsure if I need to do the same for Service Updates.  If it is dependent on if the Service Update affects that particular area the LTU covers, is there an easy way to check to identify this?  

HiIn Aurena, is it possible to make a field change colour based on content. We are simply trying to replicate Sticky Notes, which have disappeared in the Cloud, by creating a custom filed, then populating with data from our Apps9 db as part of the upgrade we are undertaking, and highlighting the field in Yellow if it has content.Thanks in advance, Tim

Hi,Has anyone found a way to convert saved searches in IEE client to Aurena Client/IFS Cloud?We are currently working on upgrading IFS 10 UPD 22 version to IFS Cloud.Users are heavily relying on saved searches to manage their daily tasks. At present, there are over 5,000 saved searches across both Base and personal profiles. After the Go-Live, users will undoubtedly be disappointed to find that their saved searches are missing in IFS Cloud.It is surprising that IFS has entirely overlooked upgrading saved searches into IFS Cloud.This topic has been discussed about two years ago, IFS IEE to Aurena Sav

One of our customers upgraded to 24R2 recently. The release upgrade started on 1/22/2025 and build place was updated on  3/7/2025.Now, in their Build place (DEV) environment, the application version and framework version are different.However, in the relevant TEST (useplace) environment both application and framework versions are the same. Could you please clarify,How something like this could have happened What is the impact this will have on future deliveries/fixes. What can be done to get the useplace and prod environments to the same framework version as dev.

Hi All, I am interested in  your opinion/experience about the main difference in the UI/navigation between IFS cloud version and older version. As a user, what is the most missing UI function, what is better in the Cloud and what was better in the Navigation. As a consultant what is your experience with the customers? What are the most missing functions by users?

Hello everyone,I have a question about upgrade from version 10 to Cloud. This week, we received information from the IFS partner company, which is our implementation, that the licensing in IFS is changing and if we do not want to move to Cloud, the license fee for the currently used version 10 will be increased by 50% year annually :)On the other hand, if we decide to move to the Cloud, it is not considered an upgrade covered by the licensing fee but is instead treated as the implementation of a completely new ERP system, with full implementation costs.I wanted to ask how this looks on your company, because I don't want to believe in that , we have invested many millions in the system, modifications, staff training and here now such a twist. Please let me know if you know somethingThanks!
