Report cost in 2 companies without MCPR activity links

I have a customer who has a setup like this. There is an accountant employed in company A who wants to report a cost on a project in company B. They have created MCPR Employee link for this accountant where company A is the employee company and company B is the customer company (dummy employee link is created). However, they haven’t created any MCPR Activity links between these 2 companies. Project only exists in company B. (let’s call this Project B)Is there a way for this accountant to report costs correctly in Project B without having an MCPR link to a project in company A? I know this is not a correct setup that they have, but just wondering if there is a way to accommodate this requirement.

Qty Required Excl Planned Scrap / Shop Order Receipt

When you receive a shop order, what is the calculation behind the scenes regarding check on the amount of material issued. I currently have the following scenario: Shop Order Lot Size = 10Material AQty per Assembly = 1Qty Req Excl Planned Scrap = 10Scrap Factor = 20%Qty Required = 13Qty Issued = 13 Despite the lot size being 10, I can over-report to 13. However, let’s say we increase the lot size to 11. I now have: Shop Order Lot Size = 11Material AQty per Assembly = 1Qty Req Excl Planned Scrap = 13Scrap Factor = 20%Qty Required = 14Qty Issued = 13 For some reason in this scenario, I can only report upto 10pcs. Reporting any more results in error message ‘Not enough components issued to receive this quantity’. Assuming I’m missing something, but I cannot see how I can report 13 in the first instance, but then only 10 in the second, despite the Qty per Assembly and Qty Issued not changing?

Work Centre Load - Planned Work Orders

Hi All,  I am planning a work order on an equipment object with an associated manufacturing work order.  My WO has an Obstructive Operation status and I am warned that the Work Task may interfere with planned Shop Orders.  I can see that the correct work centre is listed in the prepare tab.  I have shop order operations planned for the same time as the planned dates in the Work Order.   I cannot seem to see the planned load on the Work Centre where it shows that a Work Order is planned to be executed.  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction as to what I may be missing?

Automatic Putaway not functioning for Handling Units

A customer is having an issue with Automatic Putaway for Inventory held in a Handling Unit. Using IFS  Apps 10. Automatic Refill is selected on the Warehouse. Stock is sitting in a HU in an Inventory Location that isn’t part of the Putaway Zone set up on the Part. Background Job is being generated to auto refill but no Transport Task is being generated (no message on the background job but assume due to the same issue as noted in the next paragraph). When manually trying to Perform Putaway on the IPIS screen, an information message is confirming that no putaway location could be found for the stock being held in the current location. However, when manually Performing Putaway on the Handling Units in Stock screen for the same stock, a Transport Task is being successfully generated and all details are correct.What is the reason that the auto-refill is not successfully generating? Surely Auto Refill of Putaway Zones will work with Stock held in Handling Units? There is nothing in IFS Help

Getting Rid of "change password" prompt on first ADFS login to Cloud

We are starting our Cloud upgrade project, and are running 24R1.  We configured our system to use ADFS for user login.We’ve run into an issue where the first time a user logs in to the Cloud environment - they press the “login with current user” button and the next screen prompts them to change the password. It doesn’t matter what the user types in for a new password - it doesn’t seem to go anywhere.  This is creating a lot of confusion because users think they are changing their ADFS password - but they aren’t.After the initial login - it doesn’t happen again.Anyone know how to turn this fake “update password” off?

Empty BR report

Hi BR experts,I'm preparing a report in Business Reporter, and I've encountered an issue. When the customer orders the report, they receive an empty one, but when I order the same report, I receive a report with data.I tried to recreate this issue, but I couldn't do it until I turned on the debugger.When I turned it on, I received an empty report.Have you ever encountered an issue like this?Do you have any suggestions how to solve it, I mean how to ensure that when the customer orders a report using their credentials, they receive a report with data.I would be grateful for your assistance.Best regards,Adam

Project Time Reporting

Is the only way for an employee to report time to a project through the My Time Registration page? This question is being driven through some issues we have with regards to overall time reporting and the correct setup. We will not use IFS for any attendance/payroll reporting, but still want to track hours the hours of employees to a project. Looking at the employees schedules and rules it looks like the Time Base and Time Registration Time Base have to be set up in order to report hours against a project whereas for shop floor reporting it can function with Time Base - Not Time and Attendance Reporting and Blank for Time Registration Time Base and still record time against a shop order correctly. However with those settings the ability to report time through My Time Registration is disabled. Which makes sense given the options, but since we are not linking with attendance hours is there any other path or what would your recommended setup for Time Base and Time Registration Time base be

Date Repeater Without Time Stamp

I am trying to run a report out of Business Reporter, using the GL Transaction info source. If possible, I would like to use the Light Item - Entry Date as a repeater, but only by the day. The system is currently repeating each time stamp. Example, I would like everything by “8/30/24 and 8/31/24” and not “8/30/24 1:23:01PM, 8/30/24 1:23:14PM, 8/30/24 1:25:57PM”.

Should Shop Order By-Products appear on Inventory Part Availablity Planning?

Hello, We have a shop order with a main product and a by-product. A user is asking why the by-product does not appear as a supply on the part’s inventory part availability planning page.  Does or should IFS treat a by-product has a supply signal from a shop order? For context, the part that is the by-product is also part of the materials to be issued. Please see attached screenshots below. Any information or context would be appreciated. We are currently running IFS Cloud 23.1.7. Thanks,Kyle

Combining input quality control analyzes

The same product is added to multiple lines in the same purchase order. When the relevant products are received, the purchasing control analysis opens more than one receiving record for the same order and the same material. I want to do single-entry quality control for the same order, same material but different lines. How can I resolve this situation?
