Issue with Part Revision: A new revision was automatically created when the most recent revision was marked as "phase out." * New part revisions are being automatically created after the most recent revisions are marked as "phased out."  * Many of the affected parts are components of the mentioned finished goods.  * The issue was especially noticeable between December 15 and 16, 2024, affecting 89 parts.  **Question:**  Is there any adjustment or configuration in the system that automatically triggers changes in the revisions of component parts when changes are made to finished goods?

Hi all,This is to see if anyone else encounters this scenario and if they have a solution for IFS Cloud.We currently have technical drawings that are sent to us as PDFs and we store them within IFS Doc Man.When the file is being viewed, we would ideally like IFS to watermark these files with the document attributes (e.g. doc number, sheet number, revision number etc.)  Any ideas?Thanks,Zac

Hello everyone,First of all, I apologise if there is already an entry on this and I have overlooked it. Maybe one of you has an idea how I could solve the following task:I am looking for a way to run certain SQL queries on a daily basis and then send the results of these as a PDF by email, as part of my daily monitoring, so to speak.I use the Smart Client for Windows in the following version:Release: 6 Update 25Build: 8597My idea would have been to do this with the menu item ‘Monitor Schedules’ as a daily job, but I haven't quite figured out how to do this, or whether there might be a simpler solution to my problem.Best regardsLars

I am curious if IFS has any demos or documentation that could be sent to me that covers the basic purpose and function of the Document Management module in Cloud. If not, does IFS record their webinars? If so, can they be sent out to customers? Specifically I'd like to be able to view the IFS Apps 10 - IFS Document Management Overview & Demo from July 9, 2020, as I'm sure it would still be largely applicable for Cloud.

Hi Community,When a CTO part is to be delivered from inventory, supply code is Invent Order and part is reserved by selecting Configuration and Find Existing. However, if Project is connected to the order line before reservation, it’s not possible to reserve. If reserved first, it’s not possible to connect to Project.Have tested by connecting and not connecting the part to Project under Inventory Part in Stock. Have also tested by selecting other supply codes like Project Inventory and Project Deliverables.Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

I’ve got a WO to which I’ve tied a NO CO to the header and set the CO Type to NO on the task.I have issued a part to the WO and I want to invoice the customer for that. I’m not seeing anything relating to Transfer to Customer Order.  Can you help here?   I’ve tried using an SEO and I’ve tried to create the CO from the WO, which is does but still can’t see how to transfer this to CO.

In Apps10 how can I keep the sticky notes visible but not editable? I have tried to “grant query” on the presentation object EE_NOTES_CONFIG. But I can still edit.And if I do not grant EE_NOTES_CONFIG at all, the notes are not visible.I have tried it also in combination with the activity ManageNotes granted or not. But with no luck. The presentation object sais Read Only Allowed. So why is it not working? Thank you!Catherine

Hi ALl, Doing a project in 24R1 where I see some strange behaviour and wondering if we are dealing with a bug. Situation:I have a Work Task where I need to assign a person to the Work Task using a Resource group (Resource Type = ‘Person). Standard allocation against the Resource demand works as expected, but I am also trying to use ‘Direct Allocation’. And I noticed that not all of my Resources are showing in the drop down list. Initially I didn’t even see any. So I’ve been trying to debug and investigate and I’ve found the cause of the issue but now I am wondering if this is a bug or ‘functionality as intended’. And if it is ‘functionality as intended’ - what would be the idea behind that way of working because I can’t imagine why this would work like this. So what I have found out is:Direct Allocation does not take into account persons belonging to the top Resource Group, only from subgroups

Hello, I’ve created a few distribution orders to move some parts from Site A to Site B. The multiple parts were all added to the same PO/CO and all looks good. On Site B, I can see the released PO and the lines are available on the register arrivals page. Of course, I cannot receive the lines until the customer order on Site A is delivered. That’s all fine, but when I try to peg material lines on a shop order at Site B, the corresponding lines from the released PO are not displayed. Is this intended behavior or am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks for your help,Dylan

Hello, We are looking to improve manufacturing cost estimates and cost reporting through IFS. We primarily design and fabricate custom systems with job-unique BOMs. We are not using DOP at the moment, but have it on the radar in the future. On the shop order costs page, we can see estimated and actual material, labor, machine, etc. costs. Until items are issued or operations are reported, the actual cost is $0. Thus, the estimated cost can be useful. An issue with the estimated cost is that it is $0.00 for new items that don’t have a history in the system. Even once these new items are received into inventory and there is an inventory unit cost, the estimated material cost field on the Inventory Part Unit Cost page still shows $0. Thus, other than our interconnecting piping, fittings, etc. that are used on every job, our estimated cost is completely missing. We can add a CRIM to update the estimated material cost field after material rece

I just created a new site in our IFS 10 environment.When checking the basic data in costing, I found, that UPD 21 has several new Costing parameters . Unforturneately, IFS documentation Define Cost Parameters https://server/documentation/en/Costing/ActivityDefineCostParameters.htm only describes some of the parameters.I had a look in the latest doc of 24R2 (https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/24r2/Costing/ActivityDefineCostParameters.htm  which is lacking a description of most of the parameters as well.These are new parameters in IFS 10, or in some of IFS 10 Updates.Parameter CodeCAPTURE_COST_SOURCESCOPY_APPROVED_PARTSCOPY_SUBCONTRACT

 In Part Master Data > Revisions and Attributes>Part RevisionWas there a change in IFS at some point that auto-populates the Revision No into the Revision Text field? We use revision text occasionally for a different piece of part master meta data and now seeing a system generated value in this field is causing issues and confusion.
