Finite Scheduling in IFS Cloud version

In the IFS Cloud version, is it possible to set Workcenters and other resources to Finite schedule as we could do in the previous versions to get Shop Orders to schedule based on constraints?  If not, is there a plan to use PSO or something else to get to that point?I know there is sequencing in APB, but was looking for a way to automatically slot/schedule the orders.Best Regards,Jeff Mazer

Document Preview in Aurena

Do we have a comprehensive list of File Types supported by “Preview” option in Aurena ? This is for a customer on App 10 Aurena client. Managed to use Preview for PDF, TXT,JPG and MP4 file types. Did not work for MS OFFICE files, HTM, MSG etc. Also is there a way to disable the download option in “Preview” window ?Customer is looking for an inbuilt viewer for all file types. Also they don't want the users (with only View access) to download the files to local machines and also print. So at least need to provide a list of supported file types for preview and a way to stop downloading.

Appreciate your suggestions on workarounds as well Thanks a lot Kind regardsChanaka

Replicate document text from Customer order to Shop Order & DOP Shop order

HI, I have set a customer pup to have the Replicate Doc Text field enabled   ( Customer/ Order/ Misc Customer Info. Replicate Doc Text). However when  I place and release the Customer order, the  document text entered on the customer order header or customer order line is not copied to the pegged Shop order create through DOP. It is also not attached to the to the DOP order order header. Is there anything I need to specifically set up in Document Text administration or Site level to get this to work?Thank youSusan

Read-Only Database Access for Analysts and Power Users

We’re upgrading from IFS Applications 9 to IFS Cloud. Along the way, the scripts drop the Oracle accounts for our end users. The application is missing a lot of reporting capabilities, and without the SQL Query Tool, we’d like to give read-only access to the database so certain users can get their work done. How do you recommend we go about granting read-only database access? From an ASFU licensing perspective, can I use two different usernames for the same named user, to keep the FND user and Oracle user segregated?

Alert when placing order with supplier?

When creating supplier records, sometimes there are conditions that need to be met before purchasing officers place an order. Eg: “quality review required before order placement”, or “supplier must not be used on XYZ site” or “JSA and work plan must be submitted before work undertaken” - those sort of things. However once I create a supplier record, there is no way that I know of to prevent orders being placed until these conditions are met. Essentially, I need some sort of alert to the purchasing officer to appear when they go to create a PO for some suppliers. I can put a sticky note on the supplier record highlighting these requirements, but the purchasing team don’t go into the supplier record when they create a PO, so they won’t see these requirements. Is there anything that can do this?

Custom Field - Can we add carriage return characters to a multi-line custom field?

I am trying to display a full address in a multi-line custom field. The custom field settings are:read-only text (unformatted) with multi-line enabled The implementation type is a Select Statement to grab and concat the information.  I am using CHR(13) for the carriage return in the select statement.The format expected to be displayed in the custom field is:Address 1City, State, Zip CodeCountry The custom field displays in the information in one line and it seems that the carriage return did not work. However, when I copy and paste the information into notepad, the carriage return is here.Is there a way for a custom field to read a break line or carriage return for multi-line records and, if so, how?

IFS FIFO picking setup

Hello, I have been looking for help on the FIFO picking in IFS (for Customer Orders and Shop Orders). I am looking to confirm that when IFS generates a picklist, that it is directly the associate to the oldest stocking record so that we are using our oldest material and shipping our oldest product. Is there a way to verify this is properly configured in IFS Apps 10? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Customerville?

Hi,We are starting the journey to IFS Cloud and as part of the potential enhancements it has been suggested that we use Customerville. I am sure IFS will provide a ‘sale pitch’ - but I’m wanting to see if anyone is using it and what their experience with it are. I’ve not seen many posts in the community about it - so that has me a little worried.
