I sold a finished product with a serial number to a customer. A component part of the sold finished product was sent back to me for repair. The component part that was sent back to me also has a serial number. I will send a replacement for this part.The customer did not send me the entire finished product , only a part of it, which is our main issue.I cannot reopen the shop order I used to produce the finished product and unissue the component part underneath it, because it is a very old shop order, and the cost calculations for that period have already been made.However, the component part also needed to be entered into my inventory. I received this component part into my inventory with a Return Material Authorization.I manufactured a new spare part and shipped it to the customer.Now, I cannot use this returned serial-numbered component part in another weapon, because it gives me an error saying that “Serialized component <my component part and serial no> exists in catalog stru

I know I’ve seen this before but I can’t find it under the normal spots that I was looking. I’m trying to find the service update documentation on what is fixed with each patch and it’s normally in an excel file. Can someone link me the post in the resources? Everything that I can find is not the file that I’m looking for. I’m trying to evaluate what the service updates are fixing. I’m specifically looking for 24R1 as well.

Is there an out of the box function to determine which customer order lines have had the promise date reviewed prior to confirming back to the customer? Our current process:Customer service enters customer order line. By default, the promise date is initially set the same as the Planned Delivery Date. Planning reviews the order line and revises the Target, Planned Delivery, and Promise Dates as needed. Customer service sends order confirmation back to the customer. Planning needs to be able to query for order lines that haven’t been reviewed/promised. I’m considering adding a custom checkbox to indicate the order has been promised but want to verify if there’s a standard process for this. Thanks!Eric
I need some advice from a production schedule guru. I am running a production schedule and midstream, I want to change a component in the structure and then keep running the production schedule. The component is a lot controlled item. Any ideas as to how best do this? I know I can edit components midstream but I need to do a report against the production schedule to allow this. Also, I am swapping one lot controlled component to another component.Any guidance you may have will be appreciated!

We have some parts where we have to pay the supplier an excise tax fee. We typically purchase a part in a UOM of an Each with a purchase UOM of a Pound, and then we have an inventory conversion rate to get it to the Inventory UOM of a Pound. The purchase charge is a rate at a per Pound unit charge. I don’t know if something changed when we updated to version 24R1, but some charges I had set up before are showing the charge amount as a Unit Charge in a pound Price UOM. I am now seeing where I added some recent charges, and the UOM is pulling in as an Each. It does not look like I am able to update the UOM. Where does the UOM for the Charge rate pull from and is there a way to change that?

Hello IFS Community, Looking for any customers who is successfully managing changes on intercompany purchase order direct orders. Process is Create customer order for external customer.Enter customer order line with supply option int purchase direct where supplier is setup as inter-site supplier in IFS Release customer order which auto generates the intercompany purchase order. Release the intercompany PO. The above process is fine if we don’t need to make change but we live in the real world where changes can happen through human error or parts in stock are not available or faulty. If we attempt to correct the errors or shortfall of stock by adding a new customer order line on the external customer order. IFS will auto generate and create a new internal purchase direct order for each change rather than allowing the changes be added on same internal purchase order created previously. To explain, the new customer order line is mainly needed as we use project inventory and therefo

You may get an error message if something is wrong, listing every requestion and message like: No Buildable Structure, No Operation, No allocation etc...If Pressing OK the shop order creation prcosses is stopped and you have to walkthorugh every shoporder requestions to exclude any faulty requestions.
