Hi all,After the latest Windows May update, some users are no longer able to log into IFS Apps 9. They are receiving an error stating that the login service is unavailable. After some investigation, we found that this is caused by Microsoft's hardening of Kerberos Authentication. We are currently in the process of migrating to IFS Cloud, but we still need to use Apps 9 until January 2027.We managed to temporarily resolve the issue by adding a registry key, but this workaround will only work until the June update. After that, we either have to find a permanent fix or stop installing updates.Has anyone else encountered this issue, and if so, how did you fix it? The only long-term solution we can think of is creating a new account and a new keytab file, and then reconfiguring IFS Apps 9 to use them. If anyone has an easier workaround, we would love to hear it!
Does anyone know if it's possible to link the IFS database to Microsoft Fabric?https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/database/mirrored-database/open-mirroringWe're currently using the self hosted bi, but I can't say that's a perfect solution so we're looking for better alternatives.

We have a Boomi integration that runs Shop Orders from MES to IFS that we are migrating from IFS APP10 to Cloud. The issue that we are having is from creating and completing the Manual Inventory Receive. Our Boomi integration worked correctly in APP10 but now shows that it is successful in Boomi while IFS does not receive any Inventory. Our IFS Connector in Boomi for creating the uses ReceiveShopOrderHandling as the projection and Reference_InventoryReceipt as the object. It seems that the Reference_InventoryReceipt object is outdated and I have been attempting to replace it with ReceiveShopOrderSet->InventoryReceiptArray as that is what I see being used in logs when going through the Manual Inventory Receive process in IFS Cloud. When trying to run the new Connector in Boomi, we get an error saying "Failed processing original documents i2i in the IFS Cloud Connection connector: java.lang.Exception: All the keys should be given as input parameters". The Objkey is being set using Bou
In IFS Cloud 24R2, when starting from a service quotation, the preposting can be added after quotation acceptance in the "Prepare Work Order" step.However, when using work task templates added in the service quotation, the tasks already exist in the flow, and the preposting from the work order header is not inherited by these tasks. As a result, preposting must be manually added to each individual task.Is there a way to resolve this issue or apply a workaround?
Hi,do you have any idea, how to implement OAuth2 Authorization Code Flow integration in IFS Aurena? We need to create integration with bank, where is only Authorization Code Flow possible (logging to account, approval in mobile app, configuration, granting priviledges, ...).At this point, I have no idea, how to prepare callbackUrl for accepting GET request with strictly defined URL parameters.Is there any manual how to prepare own SVC not depending on OData protocol?Or use something like /soapgateway to receive and store incomming GET request? Authorization Code Flow
Hello, I am hoping to find information about the add-on to Cloud for the Freight Interface and Credit Card Integration. We are currently on Apps 10 and have these extensions, but are in the first phase of Build and Verify to upgrade to Cloud (24R1) and have not yet applied them to our Cloud environments. Our partner needs additional details to support the upgrade and IFS Support has directed me to the community for answers. 1. What are the artifacts here, change to the solution set, new entities, utilities, etc under a new module, a new k8s container? From our current 24R1 solution set we don’t see anything that suggests that credit cards or freight integration is something that exists. As part of the technical upgrade process, we need to make sure that the database artifacts exist, so this is critical to the process.2. What are the supported IFS release versions? We are doing B&V on 24R1. We do plan to do a release update as part of the plan, but we need to know what the min
When we have defined some conditions in an Event action they work fine in the environment in which they were defined. But when they are exported and imported again as an ACP, (as xml files or a Zip file) we’ve noticed that the conditions stops getting evaluated and the Actions are run regardless what is in the conditions.For example, say we have below event action with below condition, and it was created by importing it from an ACP. Then despite what is in the condition it will execute what is in the Action Details.However, if you open this event Action in the application and do a fake modification to the Condition and do a re-save the issue is gone and the Events are only executed if the conditions are satisfied.When investigating further we realized that this is due to a discrepancy in the NEWLINE character when Event Conditions are saved in the database. When importing the ACPs through an xml it saves the newline characters in the Condition_type and Condition_Value fields as ‘\r\n’

Following the upgrade of our IFS Cloud TEST environment to version 26.1.x, the following Oracle package bodies in the IFSAPP schema remain invalid: ORDER_SERVICE_END_CUSTOMER_SVC SERVICE_REQUEST_SVC The invalid objects were first reported during the deployment on 21 August 2026 (ORA-20105: Database.NEW_INVALIDS) and remain invalid after the upgrade to IFS Cloud 26.1.4 on 22 September 2026.Technical findingsWe have identified a change in the signature of Psc_Contr_Product_API.Get_Description between IFS Cloud 25.2.4 and 26.1.2.IFS Cloud 25.2.4 – two parameters:Get_Description(contract_id_, line_no_)IFS Cloud 26.1.2 and later installation files – three parameters:Get_Description(contract_id_, contract_rev_, line_no_)However, the SCBB source file OrderServiceEndCustomer.plsvc from the 25.2.4 installation package still contains calls using the old two-parameter signature at lines 242 and 332.The same incompatible calls are present in the currently invalid Oracle package body ORDER_SERVIC

Hi Team,We are using Production Schedule reporting in IFS Cloud and have observed that some records in the Production Schedule Reports page remain in “Created” status. If a report remains in Created status, what configuration, background jobs, material transactions, or other processes should be checked? Is there any standard IFS process/job that should be executed to process such records further? How can we identify the exact reason why a particular report has remained in Created status? What subsequent process or event changes the status from Created to Backflush Complete?We would appreciate clarification on the complete status flow and the expected system behaviour.
In 26R1 has anyone successfully set up having one Shipment Type to handle the workflow for a Supplier Reject/Return and a different one to handle Supplier Material? We manage Supp Matl using Purchase Component rather than Customer Order so are required to use Supplier Shipments in 26R1. We’ve been using Shipment in our reject process for a while. I say “use” - our reject process doesn’t need the multiple steps in a Shipment workflow so is currently set to get created and then skip directly to Closed. Our Supplier Material process does need a pick to be generated, have someone report it, and create a ‘delivery note’ to accompany the parts.I have tried various combinations of Shipment defaults on Site/Supplier with no luck.Thanks in advance!
A specific requirement from a client is to involve the activated Authorization Assigning Rule in the Posting Proposal and the status of the same to be “AwaitAuth” where the Finance users will authorize the invoice postings based on the code part combinations in the assigning rule.However, the Posting Authorization is set to “Automatic Authorization” in the PO Matching in the company setup. Due to this, all the PO based invoices are receiving a status of “Auth” in the Posting Proposal and the assigning rule is not being considered.The reason for this requirement is to validate those invoices where expense accounts on which period allocation is required are reviewed by Finance Manager before approval and voucher creation and all other invoices to go directly in “Auth” status and can be posted by finance users without any authorizations.Is there a way to include the assigning rule in the Posting Proposal and the status of the same to be “AwaitAuth” by not changing the company setup?

HelloWe have a customer requirement to have project pre-posting enabled on the M65 form.We would like to understand how project pre-posting can be included in the M65 form using the standard configuration. Is it possible to configure the standard settings so that the “Pre-posting” field is set to “Yes” by default for the M65 form? Could you please confirm whether this can be achieved through standard configuration, or if any customization is required? Thank you for your guidance. Pre posting for Project ID 80001 Purchase order with charges When I invoice a purchase order that includes charges, the project pre-posting does not appear on the M65 form Can you please help me?
We have built a Control Room Maintenance Lobby in IFS Cloud 25R2 SU8 (25.2.8) that we would like to display continuously on TVs in our maintenance control room.The Lobby shows PM and work order performance, is configured for auto-refresh, and works correctly when opened by a normal authenticated user in a browser.Our requirement is to display it as a shared, unattended operational screen, ideally without using an individual employee's IFS account or requiring users to regularly sign in.The TVs currently use a set-top box/media player to display rotating company images.We have not found IFS documentation covering this scenario. What is the IFS-recommended and supported method for displaying a Lobby continuously on an unattended/shared screen?We would particularly appreciate guidance around the supported authentication/session approach for this type of setup.There were community discussions related to this topic dating back to several years, but not 100% answering the concerns I have.
