Hello,I would like to know if it is possible to create a report for the repair code routing.The view “REPAIR_CODE_ROUT_OPERATION” is basically the report I need; however, unfortunately, the included information does not appear as “included” or “not included”.Could you please advise if this information can be added or if there is another view/report available that contains this detail?Thank you.  

In IFS Cloud - CAMRO there is a solution to convert customer owned parts to company owned parts.However, there is no solution that I am aware to convert company owned parts in stock or wip to customer owned parts.Can you help?

Using IFS Cloud, how can I configure a modification to meet an airworthiness directive requirement with the following conditions:1. For Pre P&WC SB No. A63069 configuration engines installed on aircraft withmore than 100 hours of total air time since new:Within 25 hours of air time from the effective date of this AD.2. For Pre P&WC SB No. A63069 configuration engines installed on aircraft with100 or less hours of total air time since new:Within 150 hours of air time since new.3. For Post P&WC SB No. A63069 engines installed on aircraft that hasaccumulated 75 or less hours of air time since SB incorporation:Within 100 hours of air time since SB A63069 incorporation.4. For Post P&WC SB No. A63069 engines installed on aircraft that hasaccumulated more than 75 hours of air time since SB incorporation:Within 25 hours of air time from the effective date of this AD.

In the Disposition Shop Order, when I RMB on the Disposition Line → Select Part Identified. I get the below error message.“Owning Customer, no needs to have a value for Customer Owned stock” Could anyone assist me with this.

In my IFS Cloud lists and report outputs, all rows currently appear with a plain white background, which makes it difficult to visually separate the data.I would like to apply alternating row colors — one white, one light gray (zebra style) — to improve readability.Is there a way to configure this in IFS Cloud, either through report layout design or list view settings?

Only one P/N can be registered in the TOP template structure.For example, with the GEnx Engine, P/Ns such as GEnx-1B64P1 and GEnx-1B74/75P1 exist depending on the rating, and I would like to manage them, but creating and managing a hierarchy for each one is a hassle. Basically, since the subordinate products do not change, I would like to have alternate P/Ns in the same template structure.I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to simplify this management.

Scenario:Consider an open Shop Order with one or more outside operation lines. One item on the shop order has to be sent to an external supplier for repair before being returned to us to complete the remaining work on the Shop Order. A purchase order is created for the outside operation item and the Ship WIP to Supplier is executed. The status of the operation line is now ‘In Process’ and the item is ready to be physically sent to the supplier (an external third party company).  What is the next recommended step, or what functionality exists in IFS Cloud to get the freight portion of this process ready? For example, can a Shipment be generated from the Shop Order or Purchase Order?  Or how do I get the part from the Outside Operation added to an existing shipment?    

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

We’re trying to map a scenario in which a Customer returns a Product to our client for modification / remanufacturing. It has been proposed that we consider the use of Component Repair Orders rather than Remanufacturing Shop Orders for this, but although we’ve created a Repair Order for our Part:CRO Repair Orderand have created the Repair for the work: RepairBut we can find no way of linking any of the Materials we will be using to complete the Remanufacturing work to this Repair Order, nor of any way to be able to issue the Serialized item for our Part out if stock to the Repair OrderCan anyone advise of how this can be done?

Hi,Does anyone know whether it’s possible to use any created cloud user as the Keycloak Super Admin? For example, currently it is advised to set the user as “ifsadmin” via the ifscloud-values yaml file, could I potentially create a user in Cloud first like “ReportAdmin” and use that as the admin?It appears even if you assign a user the Administrator or Super user roles within Jaspersoft, it still does not give them the full permissions (like the ‘Manage' menu) to upload & manage reports. Only the keycloak super user admin seems to have those permissions. Referring to the cloud-values paramters here in 24R1 & R2: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r2/070_remote_deploy/010_installing_fresh_system/200_installing_ifs_cloud/035_ifs_cloud_ifsinstaller/030_installation_parameters/#parameters_for_ifsmaintenixreportserverThanks.

Hello,When I use an Activity and set the Action to "Update" for a recordset, I encounter an error that has the following statement:"A-20110: SerialOperLog.NOMODIFY: Modify not allowed. Use Serial_Oper_Log_Util_API.Calculate_Serial_Oper_Log"It should be stated that this is a recoredset that I can successfully read from.I would like guidance on how to proceed.If I use an Activity and set the Action to "Call",  then set the "API Name" to "Serial_Oper_Log_Util_API" as the error would suggest I do, I get an error ..."Metadata for requested projection resource [Serial_O per_Log_Util_API] is not found."And here is the screen showing the data I am trying to enter using a workflow…   Here is the Activity from the Workflow that generates the error…  …  if I adjust the Activity to be of Action “Read” I can successfully read the records. Another part of this question is how to find out what options I have for entering in a “Call Name”, when I set the Action to “Call” and I do know the “API Name”. 

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.

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? 

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 AllI’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 W

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 tr

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 MROBusiness 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)

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? I am asking this because I need to restrict the Routing Operation when it comes to Work Centers and Labor Classes. Many Thanks

Hi allAnyone 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.
