Hello,Last week one of our planners ran MRP for a specific part, but a req was not generated even though the projected qty fell below safety stock without confirmed supply. When we look at the MRP Part Information, the MRP Message shows “Not Buildable”. However, when I look at the Product Structure and Routing for that part, both are Buildable. Also, the MRP Control checkbox is enabled on the Inventory Part manufacturing tab, and the part is active. We’ve checked all we can think of to check and we’re hoping someone can point us in the right direction to figure out why MRP for this part is flagging it as Not Buildable. Thank you! 

Hello all,When we proceed to a revision transfer actions for a Manufactured part, the structure data from the previous revision, such as “Reserve/Issue from Loc” or “Reseve/Issue Method” are lost. Is there a way to preserve these informations when creating a new revision ? Thank you for your help.

Hi, I would like to raise this question in the forum to understand how different users handle the situation described below. I am working with a customer whose BOM structure contains multiple levels sometimes up to seven.When we create a shop order for the top level item and run MRP, shop order requisitions and purchase requisitions for the lower level components are generated automatically. After converting these shop order requisitions into shop orders, is there a way to view all child shop orders linked to the top-level shop order?Essentially, my customer wants to see the related shop orders and the material availability for each of them.We can review the BOM structure using MRP Part Information (Top-Down), but this does not provide a clear view of the shop order hierarchy or the critical path.How would you address this type of requirement? Are there standard functionalities or possible views that could help achieve this?

Dear all,Does anyone know in which scenarios it is necessary to perform a refresh of project connections? I have a customer who occasionally experiences issues that are resolved with such a refresh, but this occurs very rarely. What I’d like to know is what can cause disturbances in project connections that require this kind of refresh to prevent issues.Thanks for your help.

Has anyone found or developed an IFS Aurena user guide? We are upgrading to IFS Apps 10 next year and I would like my Core team to demo (using the RACE database) the Aurena client.

Hello;        I’m new to IFS & I’m quite surprised at the difficulty there is in changing a unit of measure. I’m a designer, & a portion of my former company was acquired by another who uses IFS. In the process there was a lubricant that got transferred & the unit of measurement was a pail. I’m not sure what the correct unit is but that wasn’t the unit it was supposed to be. Instead of being able to correct the unit, my main division of the company is saying the only thing we can do is create a new part no. with the correct unit of measure. This lubricant is used all over the place in 103 boms & 93 drawings which would have to be changed. Is this a limitation with IFS, & if it is, why would it be. I believe with our former system using CMS, we would have just revised the unit, & been done with it. I should add, it has already been used which seems to make it more of an issue.Thanks for any input in advance. SonDrum

Does anyone know if it is possible to host the MWM front-end of something other than Microsoft IIS? We are trying to transition our applications to Linux based infrastructure wherever possible. I posed this question the support team via a ticket, but they directed me to the user community.

Hi everyone,We’re currently preparing our migration from IFS Apps 9 to IFS Cloud, and besides the functional transition (e.g., Project Delivery → Deliverables), we’re also exploring the reporting side of the migration.Specifically, we’re looking for experiences from others who have: Migrated from Crystal Reports to IFS Report Studio, and Worked with Report Designer reports in Apps 9. We’re wondering: How did you approach the migration of Crystal Reports — did you rebuild them in Report Studio or use an alternative strategy? How mature and flexible is IFS Report Studio in your experience? What happens to Report Designer reports from Apps 9 — are they still available and functional after migration to IFS Cloud, or do they need to be redeveloped? We’d love to hear from any

Hello every one, We are using IFS to generate our invoices (no Crystal Reports involved).We are currently experiencing performance issues when printing invoices — it takes at least 5 seconds per invoice, even when there is only a single line. We also noticed that the IFS Print Agent is not installed.From the documentation I reviewed, I understand that the PDF is generated by IFS and then processed by the IFS Print Agent.We have already increased the reporting ren pod to 10 GB, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered a similar situation or can provide some guidance please? Thank’s in advance.

Is it possible to copy a report? I’ve tried exporting a report and the re-importing it into a new layout, but it errors. Some backend SQL error.Any thoughts on this?

It looks like I cannot see the highlighted option in our APPS10 instance. Any special security settings required? 

I have deployed the IFS Print agent, all with Green Lights :When trying to print a shipment documentWe get errors. Does anyone know what permissions we need to give and where?Any hints are welcome.

Hi all. We realized that in the Permission Set screen, Lobby Pages selector there is not a button to Revoke just one of the lines that you created.In the image below, you can see the buttons you have: Add, Add All, Revoke All. This is a problem because if you have, for instance, 20 lobby pages and one day you need to remove just one of them, now, IFS requires you to revoke all. However, if you surf to Projections selector, you can revoke the projections one by one. Does anyone know if this is a bug or the explanation for why this is happening?Thanks in advance. Best regardsSergio.

We are currently upgrading from Apps10 to IFS cloud . When trying to replicate one of our IAL’s  in IFS Cloud  we noticed some of the called functions in Purchase_Order_Invoice_API are missing when cpmpared to Apps10 e.g. Purchase_Order_Invoice_API.Calc_Invoiced_Unit_Price is no longer present in 24R2. Is there anywhere I can check to see if/when this was deprecated and what the alternatives for these missing functions are?

We have a check which was cashed in July which we then set back to printed status and now want to void it.  This is what I see  But when I click Void Check I get the message below:   This is quite strange because the option to void is there and normally it would (or should) give you the ability to enter the voucher date.  I would really appreciate any guidance on this. 

I am attempting to upload a budget period using the external file assistant and a template that has been provided.  When clicking finish I get an error stating the load file “contains rows with state Unpack error” -  Error Received after clicking “Finish” Below is a screenshot of the file I am attempting to upload -    When I go and view the external file transaction for the failed load, I see that row 1 is the source of the unpack error.  Specifically, it states “Invalid value format or invalid Decimal Symbol in the Loaded File.” -  

When working with Inventory Part statusses there are basicly 2 options:Use a minimum number of statusses based on the possible combinations of settings. For example:Encode the different departments in the status so you know who at any moment is responsible (when creating new parts or updating them)Any comments on how this is done are welcome :-)
