Summary of Changes

IFS Energy & Resources is pleased to announce the release of IFS Reporting 2.27. This release enhances both the Merrick and Financial modules with new features and improvements.

Within the Merrick module, we've added the 'Routes' field to Daily and Monthly Completion domains, enabling new grouping capabilities, and introduced a new "Daily Production Overview by Routes" for tracking production amounts by route.

The Financial module has been expanded with two new financial reports to explore owner-related expenses and print JIB Audit Data Exchange (JADE) reports for partners. The Owner Detail Domain has been enhanced to support more comprehensive JIB reporting. We've also improved report performance by implementing cascading input controls for the R 02.32 Summary Lease Operating Statement, R 04.12 AFE Transaction Detail Report, and R 04.11 Remaining Budget Report.

Recommended System Requirements

Server Hardware

This section identifies the recommended hardware requirements for each server.

Note:

• As of release 2.10, the Budget and Forecast module in IFS Reporting will require additional disk space on your SQL server to accommodate the new dataset.

• The projected data volume for the Budget and Forecast module will approximate the volume of the Cost Center Summary table (FIN.FactCostCenterActivity).

• As of release 2.10, the enhancement of the Cost Center Summary ETL in IFS Reporting will require additional disk space on your SQL server to accommodate the new dataset for IFS Excalibur customers. No changes are expected for IFS BOLO customers.

• The projected data volume for the Cost Center Summary ETL will approximate the volume of the Cost Center Summary table (FIN.FactCostCenterActivity).

• As of release 2.13, the enhancement of the BOLO Data Schema in IFS Reporting will require additional disk space on your SQL server to accommodate any added extractions for IFS BOLO customers. By default, this supplementary extraction process is not enabled, but specific tables can be activated as needed. No changes are expected for IFS Excalibur customers.

• The projected data volume for the full BOLO SQL data extract will be approximately double that of the BOLO Unidata table size.
