IFS Wire weekly digest: week of 26 October 2026

The IFS week in short: IFS posted its Q3 numbers, sketched an AI marketplace for partners, and signed a partnership in Dubai. A customer finished a long upgrade, and the community solved some everyday problems. Every item links to its source.

NEWS: ARR passes €1.3bn IFS reported annual recurring revenue above €1.3 billion at the end of Q3 2026, up 24% year on year, with recurring revenue at 85% of the total. It also said new Industrial AI bookings in the first nine months of 2026 already exceed three times its full-year 2025 bookings. More than 100 customers signed up to pilot IFS Intelligence ahead of its launch at IFS Unleashed. Customers named as choosing IFS Industrial AI in Q3 include Tesco, LATAM Airlines, Yeo Valley, Mitsubishi Electric and Eight Group.

PARTNERS: an AI marketplace inside IFS Intelligence Channel Dive reports that IFS outlined plans at IFS Unleashed for a marketplace where partners would build and sell three kinds of add-ons: skills (repeatable tasks), lenses (live views of operational data) and automations (defined workflows). Partners get free access to IFS Intelligence through December. There is no launch date yet, and no word on pricing or revenue share.

CUSTOMERS: Tosoh America moves from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud 25R1 According to a post by partner Nayo, Tosoh America has upgraded from IFS Applications 10 to IFS Cloud 25R1. The project first targeted 24R1 and folded in the 25R1 update along the way. Customisation uplift was shared between the two teams, and permission sets were rebuilt as part of the upgrade.

COMMUNITY Q&A: three answers worth bookmarking

• Scheduling a report when a custom event has no trigger. A custom event always needs a trigger point. The accepted answer from Tharshan SM: build the query as a Quick Report and schedule it to email the list. dsj shared a workaround: a small custom entity plus a scheduled migration job that inserts a record, so an event action fires on schedule. Another member reported using that pattern in IFS Cloud for about three years.

• Hiding commands in Page Designer. Unticking Visible did nothing on the Time Registration page. Yathartha Karunananda's answer: in the command groups, select the command, switch Enabled to boolean mode, turn it off and publish. FPayab confirmed it worked.

• Moving external file templates between environments in IFS Cloud 25R2. There is no export or import for them. Thomas Peterson's accepted answer to GaSoGB: copy the standard template in each environment and paste in the detail rows, or build and test in test, then copy into production so the next production copy brings it back.
