How do we select serialized parts or lots part while adding them in material order (created in Work Order)? We get the details of the parts after adding them in material order line. But while searching parts, we do not have the option to select serialized or lot part?

Hi, I want to change the date format for a particular column in the Active Work Order screen which is showing it as yyymmdd and I want to change it to be dd/mm/yyyy. Can you tell me where I need to make this change please? It is show in the highlighted line in the image below. Thanks. Neil.

We are defining material demands on Work Tasks / Material. All inventory parts are purchased, have planning method B, order point 0 and lot size 1. Expected result when running the Order Proposal: If an inventory part that is demanded on Work Task / Material is not available in stock, the order proposal creates a Purchase Requisition with the demand date from the Work Task as the Wanted Receipt Date on the PR Line. This works fine if we have a primary supplier for the part. We have defined lead times per supplier so that the demand is triggering the PR 45 days in advance. However, we don’t have (primary) suppliers for all parts. Whenever there is no primary supplier the leadtime of the part is set to 0 and the automatic PR is created the same day as the demand occurs. Please advice: Is it possible to set up leadtimes for purchase parts not connected to suppliers? We need to define an internal leadtime in order to have the demands generating PRs 45 days in advance of the actual demand.

Hi All, Is there any method to configure out to get these Work Task Transaction to the automatic posted. User claimed that it’s time consuming to RMB and Authorize manually. Best Regards, Nipun

We would like to use the Service and Maintenance module from IFS 10 and we have some question about Basic data. Serial Object (piece of machine, Ex Drilling Machine) can be defined with this list of Basic data: Category: Machine Object Type: Vertical Drilling Type Designation: EH-15 (model) Group ID: Drilling Item Class: ?? Work Instruction Task Template used to define a PM programs can be linked to a Category, Object Type or Object Designation (Machine model in my example) PM program: it seems we can connect PM program only through Process Class and Item Class I have some trouble to understand the logic. We can connect Work Instruction template to a type of machine, which sound logic. But i m not able later on to create a PM progam for this machine linking WTT via Type Designation. Only with Item Class. Does someone could share with an example how do you use PM program and Work Task Template? how should i understand “Item Class”? thanks for your support

Our client uses Serial Objects in his Manufacturing process. He has asked to implement 2 features: Add the Serial Objects as a Fixed Asset so it can be connected to the correct Acquisition account and they can use Depreciation Methods. What is the easiest way to achieve this? The Serials Objects require Preventive Maintenance (both internal and external). I’m trying to set up a PM program but I am unable to connect any Work Task Templates (I checked Status, Sites, Action) but LOV does not provide a single applicable Work Task Template. I’m looking forward to your suggestions. Best Regards Roel Timmermans

Hello, I would like some help to understand how postings works for Service and maintenance module (IFS V8). I need to use operations and time reports on work orders but the use of these functions create postings on which I have some issues. After authorizing postings, when I want to change WO status to Finished, I get an error message : " There is no project cost/revenue element to code part value ". I tried to Exclude from project follow-up the involved code part value but I had another issue when I changed WO status "Project Connections cannot be created for this account". I would like to know how to configure postings/accounts in order to finish work orders with operations and time report ? Is it required to set up a project cost/revenue element to use postings in Service and maintenance module ? Also, I don't understand what is the link between work orders and project because in my tests I never linked work orders with project activities, Regards, Nicolas

Hi All, In the upgrade from APP8 to APP10, existing PM Actions and Work Orders were converted to the new Work Task method by creating a multiple Work Tasks with one individual Resource for every Tools and Facilities attached to the APP8 record.

It is not possible to use the RMB option “Scrap Parts at Supplier” from a PO line for an object connected part when an active work order exists. Prerequisites Create an inventory part and create a supplier for purchase part record for the same. Allow external services for the same. Create an object and connect to an inventory part. Test Plan Create a WO and enter above created object id. Create a task and add a return line for the part connected to the object. Receive the serial to the inventory. Create a requisition with order code 6 from the WO and create the PO. Release the PO and send the serial to supplier through the component CO. Return to the PO line and RMB, select Options for External Service Orders -> Scrap Parts at Supplier. You will get the error message, “There are active work order connected to equipment object”.

Would you please look at the order below and let me know if this might be a bug or standard functionality I think the Total Contr Margin/Base circled in red is calculated as (255+230)*-1 = -485.00 Should it be calculated as (255-230)*-1 = -25 ?

Hi All, The simple scenario is returning the part in serial of the Object ID to Inventory. In Apps8 its simply done by Move Inventory to Serial RMB and wizard. What is the process for that in Apps10? Thanks & Best Regards, Nipun
