IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance

Hi all, Apparently it is not possible to connect a purchase order line with demand code ‘interim order’ to a project activity. Only demand codes Inventory Order and Non-Inventory Order are allowed to connect. Is there a reason why this works this way? Trying to figure out the implications this might have. Is there some kind of workaround that I am missing?

Has anyone that has implemented Engineering found it an issue that there is no access management of data in Engineering except for Permissions ? (Nothing like company in Finance or Ste in SCM) We are implementing into a group of companies in the defence industry and they find it unacceptable due to IP constraints to share the data between companies. If anyone has a good work around or CRIM developed for this challenge I would like to hear about it.

I have created DSO> Proved with repair order. Go to the relevant assembly shop order and observe the part is in customer owned status. Supply type MRO. Now this repaired part need to another engine. Now if I disconnected from the current engine that can be pegged to another engine. on the assembly shop order, now that we have disconnected the repair order we have the material line (customer owned) that has no part reserved or in repair so we need to run MRP ... please consider to include this in a future release.

Hi All I’m a beginner of IFS Cloud MRO and IFS Maintenix, and confusing with the relationship between them. In other words, I want to know what kind of customer business these two solutions can handle, and what kind of customer need to use one of them or both of them. Thank you so much!

When a demand is generated for materials from different Work Orders MRP is not possible to differentiate which requisition corresponds to which demand. Without the ability to connect the demand to the originating requisition, once the PR>PO is processed and the parts are received into inventory, the inventory can then be reserved by any of the WOs. This is challenging for Aerospace Industry, due to having strict controls over the parts to be used for specific work tasks. Customers are using custom fields such as “Tail No: provides the Aircraft tail number. and Demand Info - provides the WO number. in the purchase requisition lines to resolve the issue. However this leads to other challenges when the PR line contains multiple Work orders for same due date. What is expected is a soft pegging between the work tasks material demand and Purchase Requisition and the Purchase Orders, so that when the part is received to the inventory correct part is reserved to the correct demand from the Wor

When new deliverables is available for download, e.g. a new release, or being distributed we would like to be able to confirm that the files have not been compromised, altered or tampered, with (preferably) a digital signature* of the software files or binarys, or a checksum control of the software files or binarys. *This digital signature validates the identity of the software author or publisher and verifies that the file has not been altered or tampered with since it was signed. Is this applicable in the way described above ?

Hi All, I am working with an aircraft OEM and they manage different kind of rotable pools with their customers wherein customer can take a part from the rotable pool and in-return will supply the unserviceable core item to the OEM for repair. This OEM does not carry out internal repairs and create a CRO of repair order type “external service order” to send the unserviceable core part (P1) to supplier and get it repaired. Some of the times, the supplier will perform modification to the part (P1) which leads to change of part number (P1 now becomes P2). When we receive the modified part (P2), OEM would perform Register Arrival - utilize modify receipt conditions and change the part number (P2 - ensure alternates are defined) and receive the modified part (P2) in inventory. This creates a part serial transaction for the received modified part and serial. Now the caveat over here is, the CRO external order which was initially created for the unserviceable part P1 remains open and under the

Is it possible to get a part certificate report in the technicians portal if you do not use aviation? I know we have the survey workflow but I want the survey to be on an object like in the aviation part certificate report.

Industry : Aerospace & Defense Sub-Industry : MRO Line of Business : Engine MRO / Landing Gear / Component MRO Business Background : Parts (E.g. Blade, Fan, Bushings) removed from large assembly (E.g. Engine, Landing Gear, APU) are subjected to cleaning and inspection process, post which the repair actions will be determined. This will be captured against the part by the Engineering / Team in the form of Component Job cards and Inspection forms. Detailed inspection procedures are carried out stringently by recording the measurements of applicable parameters [such as inner diameter, outer diameter, length, width, thickness..] and validated with standard values / limits that are prescribed the manufacturers in their maintenance manuals (embedded within work instructions). Mechanics, Technicians record the measurements of the parts subjected to inspection and validated with the standard limits and report the outcome as to whether the reported values are within the standard limits (or) out

Hello everyone, Is there any way to open Tasks on Shop Floor Workbench against Shop Order Operations? So far I could only open tasks on the Shop Floor Workbench “header”, which means, no direct connection to the Shop Order Operation… Does anyone have any suggestion?

Hello everyone, I was looking for a way to restrict Labor Classes with Work Centers. Does anyone have any ideia if this is possible to be done? Some page with setup for this to work?

Hi all Anyone have any ideas on how to upload multiple data or line items in an instant invoice in IFS cloud? We have approximately 50–60 lines per invoice, and it takes too much time to post the same.

We are implementing IFS Cloud in a CAMRO Customer. For Quality Control it was setup as Mandatory Manufacturing Control Plan for several parts. This requires setup for each Inventory Part and Routing Type a specific Control Plan. Should we have any way to identify which Inventory Part / Routing Type has a mandatory control plan?

Hi, Can someone help me in Assigning the defined Operational Plan and Execution of it in MRO Fleet Management?

Hello, How does a user edit / make adjustments to the “Layout Name” field below in the page “Airworthiness Regulation Codes per Form Type ?

Hi All , I have created a tab with list in Prepare work order screen using custom entities . custom entity name -- > CePiecesUtil I have used standard projection(prepare Work order handling) of the work order page to connect the standard entity and custom entity . Active separate -- parent entity , CePiecesUtil -- > custom entity Association name is CUtilRef using page designer , added the list within a tab , and the list is displaying data . has connected it using a data source field set (CePiecesUtilSet) The issue is the list is supposed to populate only when object Id and object site is choosed or when a work order site is used . till then it must be empty , but right now , it is populating with all the values even before a work order is saved . Tried using binding in page designer , but it is throwing error or not displaying the list . Thank you

Does IFS Cloud Support Smiles and special symbols?

Hello everyone, I’m facing a error when attaching reserved parts to Handling Units. On a CAMRO process, when we do the disposition we are not being allowed to choose an Handling Unit if we didn’t choose it previously on the disassembly side. Even after putting the Part into stock, giving him a disposition code, since the part is automatically reserved for the assembly side, we still can’t attach it to an Handling Unit. Does anyone have a solution for this ? Many Thanks, Bruno Martins

HI Can someone help me to fix this issue plz? Best regards

Let me ask you about the cost information of the work order. Is it possible to connect the cost information recorded on the next screen to work orders and projects? ・ [COST LINES] on the CRO Repair screen ・ [COST LINES] on the CRO Transactions

Hi When trying to finish any Work Task it is showing the below error. Need guidance. Thanks in advance, Mani Shankar

Is there any documentation how to setup IFS Cloud - Flight Line Maintenance? I have been trying to sandbox out the Functionality so I know how it all works and what it can and can’t do. The content in IFS Academy just provides and introduction of the functionality and little demo, but not much information on the basic data setup. What I am looking at is the level of dependencies it has on other IFS Modules and Products. The big questions I am looking at are; Is it pretty standalone or do I need Maintenix and/or ATCM to make it work. What levels of AV Structure needs to captured, and can you build ad-hoc structures on the fly as opposed needing the data prepositioned as you do with Maintenix. I am also looking at Part Request and want to understand where parts are Issued from? Could this be Warehouse (Distribution) or does in need to Maintenix Inventory?

Dear community, Let me ask you about the installation of serial parts in the Serial Structure. In the [Structure Change Log] on the work order screen,I pressed [Record Part On]/[Record Issues Part On], then [Perform Structure Change],and tried to install the serial parts on the Serial Structure with the components removed. However, the serial parts I want to install are not displayed as candidates.What kind of settings are required to install serial parts in a serial configuration? Tomoki.

A few years ago, IFS (A&D) embarked on building up an aircraft configuration manager application that was intended to work to help keep operators up to date with manufacturer IPC changes (among other things). I do not see it in the product catalog (partner portal) yet. Is there more information available for it somewhere?

Swiss-AS offering AMOS is one our top competitors in-terms of Airline / MRO customers. Swiss-AS is planning to launch a SaaS-based data messaging platform, AMOScentral, to allow members of the AMOS user group community to connect with one another and later to external service providers. Can we design a messaging platform for all users of IFS Cloud to exchange Images, Queries, Updates, ADs/SBs, Casual Messages, etc., between all users of IFS Cloud? Can we even extend the capabilities of this messaging platform to accommodate Video Calls where users can share the defect details or queries to a targeted user or a group of users (Within the company) or even external (operating a similar model of engine or airplane) and create work instructions based on feedback P.S. Its not about the ability to communicate (any messaging platform can do that) but using the power of the User Group Community to leverage technical know-how
