IFS Cloud 25R1+ • Reporting Continuity
As IFS continues its strategic evolution toward IFS Cloud 25R1 and beyond, one critical shift is already impacting long-standing customers worldwide: the gradual end of native support for Crystal Reports.
Crystal Reports support is ending — but your reporting shouldn’t.
For many organizations, Crystal Reports aren’t just templates. They represent years of operational intelligence, deeply embedded into business processes — powering compliance, audits, finance reporting, and executive decisions.
Why This Change Matters
For enterprises running IFS Applications 10 or moving into IFS Cloud, reporting is often the most overlooked risk area. Crystal Reports typically support:
- Operational visibility across departments
- Regulatory compliance and audit trails
- Finance and management reporting
- Production, procurement, and inventory reporting
- Field service documentation and performance insights
The challenge is that many of these reports are not “simple reports.” They are business-critical outputs built with:
Complex Business Logic
Calculations, formulas, grouping logic, conditional formatting, and embedded rules.
Deep ERP Data Connections
Joins, views, and structures designed specifically for IFS reporting workflows.
Compliance-Driven Layouts
Formats designed for audits, regulations, and standardized reporting requirements.
Years of Customization
Many organizations have 100+ reports refined over years across business teams.
Rebuilding them from scratch using alternative tools is often:
- Costly - high redevelopment effort and long project timelines
- Time-consuming - report-by-report redevelopment and testing cycles
- Risk-prone - high chance of missing logic, compliance gaps, and user disruption
