Product Structures vs Recipe Structure in Food Manufacturing?

Hello everyone, I would like see what your thoughts are out there for Product Structures vs Recipe Structures in pertaining to Food Manufacturing. As a former customer and in consulting I have I’ve seen that companies start with recipes and then decide to use product structures instead. I see product structures as a simpler way to manage structures and better stream line IFS processes avoiding managing structures in two different places. Also, consider integrations to IFS (ex., Optiva). Let me know Pros and Cons. Thanks team!

Turn off MS Forecast Consumption?

Is it possible to turn off forecast consumption entirely in Master Schedule? We have parts with forecast consumption of 0 (backwards and forward). If actual demand and forecast of the part lands on the same day, the forecast is still consumed. We forecast in monthly buckets and manually delete forecast as actual orders are entered. For this reason both the forecast and actual demand need to be counted towards generating supplies. Regards! Eric

Failed Initialization in MWO Cloud

Hi community, One of our users came across the following error when trying to initialize the MWO Services app in IFS Cloud. I’ve tried looking into this any haven’t come across much information. Does anyone know what may cause this error or how to go about fixing it? The user logged in again and the app has been trying to initialize for over 4 hours. They have successfully logged into the app and used it in the past, but recently had been asked to sync again because the database configuration had changed. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Invoice Posting Authorizers - Can't Add User

I am trying to add a user to the Invoice Posting Authorizers screen, but the user does not come up when I start to type their name. Supposedly the only two prerequisites for this are that the user exists in the Person window - which they do. And there should also be authorization group IDs defined in the Authorization Combination Rules window - which there are. And this user is parts of that authorization group. Why doesn’t their name appear when I try to add them?

Work order/ Task percentage of completion

Hi Experts, Is there a default field in the work order or Task to show the percantage of completion like in Project? It could be #Time-Based Progress (Planned vs. Actual Time Usage) #Task-Based Progress (Based on Task Status) #Date-Based Progress (Schedule Progress) Example:Suppose: 5 tasks under a Work Order Planned hours: 40 totalReported hours so far: 202 tasks completed, each worth 8 hoursRemaining 3 tasks worth 8, 10, and 6 hours respectivelyTime-Based Progress: (20 / 40) * 100 = 50% Task-Based Progress (Weighted):(8+8) / (8+8+8+10+6) = 16 / 40 = 40% This might show: Reported Progress: 50%Task Completion: 40%Planned Progress (based on dates): say, 60% Thanks, KM

Custom events in shipment type

Jimf83Do Gooder (Customer)

Getting Started with IFS

I am trying to create a pick and pack process within my warehouse and have worked out the process in IFScloud and have the below stumbling blocks which I hope can be resolved. In the shipment type there is an option to add a custom event for printing a shipment handling unit label, I have worked out the sub handling unit creation within a top level handling unit so I can attach items individually within a shipment and get individual labels to generate for each picked item. The main issue I am having is that all of the labels print when you confirm a pick, how do I get them to print individually and not repeat when I add additional units as it will reprint previously packed labels and then print blank labels for sub handling units? Also is possible to default users accounts to label printers through the report picking process in wadaco so they can be more mobile in the picking operation? Thank you for any advice or help on this and if you require anymore information please get in touch.
