Hi!We’re trying to set up an object connection transformation to inventory part to the Shop Order Multilevel Repair Structure page. Our best guess would be to set upDocument Object Connection on LU ShopOrdUtil, view AS_BUILT_CONFIG_HEAD_SO or AS_BUILT_CONFIGURATION_SO.  Object Connection Transfer with InventoryPart as source and ShopOrdUtil as target.It is possible to set up, but the page shows no attachments at all. In fact, there is no paperclip symbol at all and no attachment panes, other than for the shop order at the very top. The rest of the page is connected to a tree. We’re guessing there is some limitation that makes the object connection transformation impossible to use here, or does someone know of a workaround?And, if you know it’s not possible, exactly why?

Hi Alldoes anyone know of a quicker way of entering analysis results on a control plan on Shop Order in cloud. Looks like the change from APPS10 is too laborious having to enter and confirm line by line, especially when several lines to complete.  I know you can filter to view by Data Type on the Analysis Results window, but looks like your unable to enter results on that page.If you were able to enter results here it speed up the process.   Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,I'm trying to understand whether the following behavior is standard or not.Create an Inventory Part. Create two Inventory Control Plan Templates. Apply both templates to the Inventory Part. Create a Control Plan from the first template and activate it. Create another Control Plan from the second template and activate it for the same Inventory Part.Both Control Plans can be activated successfully. They are active for the same Inventory Part with the same phase-in and phase-out date range.Next, repeat the same process with a new Inventory PartCreate another Inventory Part. Create two Control Plans using the same Inventory Control Plan Templates. This time, select a Part Revision in the Control Plan header for both Control Plans. Activate the first Control Plan successfully. When attempting to activate the second Control Plan, the following error is displayedThe customer's requirement is to have multiple active Inventory Control Plans for the same Inventory Part that are valid for the

Hello,We have a requirement where the Part Cost for a fabricated part should automatically match the value entered in the Part Unit Cost field.Is there a standard IFS Cloud functionality or setup that allows the Part Cost to be synchronized with the Part Unit Cost automatically?Any guidance or experience on this topic would be appreciated.Thank you.  

We are producing Product A (Produced Part) using Product B (Component) at a 1 to 1 ratio.We over-produced Product A by qty 10.We want to “disassemble” product A.  What is the best process to follow so:Product A (Produced Part) inventory reduces by 10 Product B (Component Part) inventory increases by 10We have used just the Unreceive functionality but it causes financial issues with the component part.

Hi everyone,Hi everyone,I have a question about a configurable item. Where can I find information on how the cost of individual operations was determined for this item?For non-configurable items, there is the Part Routing Cost screenThanks in advance for your help

Hello,I am working with Configure‑to‑Order (CTO) in IFS Cloud and I am trying to dynamically calculate the quantity of a by‑product in the shop order, based on the quantity of the main product.The number of by‑products should depend on the produced quantity of the main product.For example:Main product quantity By‑product quantity 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 2 6 2 7 3 8 3 9 3 10 3 This logic is implemented using a CTO Configuration Structure Rule, where: A configuration formula is used to set the Quantity per Assembly Test formula gives the expected (positive) result When I release the Customer Order (Supply Type = Shop Order), I get the following error message:“Calculation of quantity required for produced part <by‑product> has resulted in a negative value”What is confusing is:The formula result is positive The same approach works for normal components The issue only occurs when the component is a by‑product Is it supported in IFS Cloud CTO to use a Configu

One of my customers is encountering errors of various types when they run the costing calculation and the encounter of the error shuts down the background job.  So they correct the error and rerun the process.  Now, if they run the process again and another error for another part is encountered, the second background job also fails.Does anyone know if there is a process that can pre-check the calculation for all the possible errors without actually writing the newly calculated costs to the part cost records? Thanks

We have the issue, that we use “Reserve an Bacflash” as settings for the issuing material from floor stock.Now we have connected the correct Locations to the Work Center and we produce normal.Operator has reserved 1 of the 2 reels, which are available on his floor stock. Now he has not so much qty on this reel to report the produced qty, but he has entered the fully produced qty. and the system has taken the difference from the unreserved material from his location.  How we can fix this in the best way, that the system stopps and give a warning, you have not enough material reserved for this issuing.

Hello,  I have a configuration change request in the status “Approved” At this point, I would go to DOP header with the following setting And updated the suply configuration - after which I would finalize the changes on the shop orders and then finalized the configuration change request. But for some reason, now I am getting the following error once doing so: Any idea what does the system want? Thank you,  Best RegardsPetaKu  

Hi all,When I run One level cost I got error but All level cost not. After run All level cost then One level cost works. Here is some details. It seems a bug.Title: One Level Part Cost Calculation fails with ORA-01858 on manufactured multi-level parts (column order mismatch in Insert_Roll_Up_Cost_One_Lvl___)Environment: IFS Cloud 25.2.4 SU4 (site BPM20, cost set 8)Symptom:Calling the CalculateOneLevel action (PartCostHandling projection) — or One LevelPart Cost Calculation in Aurena/IFSAPP — fails for manufactured parts whosecomponent is itself a rolled-up manufactured sub-assembly.

I am looking for a demo or specific information on IFS Cloud QM capabilities. I have a plant that is looking into an All-in-one QMS Platform by Octave formerly ETQ software (we have yet to implement IFS Cloud - go-live is 2028) and I am trying to avoid getting yet another application in here and having to integrate it into IFS. So I want to share the IFS Cloud capabilities with them. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hello Together,We went live with a customer and currently face an issue:That costs does not appear on cost bucket detail after running the calculation for all articles (all part calculation) but you can see all results in the overview “part cost variances”: The Question is can rely on the results listed in this overview and just copy them to cost bucket 1?  If you run the calculation for all levels the cost appears in the cost bucket details again.Anyone has an idea on this one?Kind regards

Hello, I am wondering if there is anybody that can help me with a customer question in IFS 9. The request is as follows:A repair shop order used a part with condition code ‘UNREP’. Cost = 0,00 When the shop order is finalized the total cost of the labor setup time should be included in the unit cost of the finalized product (3 hours of 35,00 = 87,50) The unit cost of the finalized product must also include cost of components used during the repair (65,03 in our example) The unit cost of the serialized part with condition code ‘REP’ must be 152,53However, the fixed labor setup time is not added when reporting in shop floor workbench and is missing. But when using button Approve Op labor time is added. Customer wants to be able to use the normal functions of the Shop floor work bench. I do not have access to the environment and rely on copilot to help me analyze what the customer test. As it stands right now after testing, copilot is thinking IFS 9 supports fixed estimated setup cost via

Hi,One of our customer wants to upload a consolidated forecast into IFS so it can be expanded out to show the growth in raw material and component demand and allow the Purchasing Team to see the longer term requirements for several years.This is very top level rather than at customer level by which they normally enter forecasts.Ex: My question is can we upload this forecast into MS Level 1 and derive raw material/component demand for coming periods, with/without generating supplies (PRs, Shop Order Reqs etc?Also, would that be possible to register this forecast and calculate the demand for raw materials separate from the actual forecast register for this year using a different MS level set? I appreciate any feedback you can share.Thank you 

Hi All,Being new IFS9 user (not Cloud) ,How to learn Query or Report Creation? is there any Docs or guideline how to create Report with Zero Knowledge of SQL ?My Report requirement Find out Waiting time between two operations on Shop order which has status “ Started”. Actual Production time  “ reported” for Shop orders against the Routing hours. Part which has Routing with “X “ Work centre .. Thanks in Advance.

We have recently moved to a REST API connection with our EDI data in IFS. With this move, we have started to experience issues with Auto Approving Customers in the Incoming Customer Order screen. We have the Customer profile set up to be Automatic for the Incoming Order / Schedule Approval however it will stop in Incoming Customer Order screen with the Status of “RequiresApproval”. With this, there is no error message or stopped message error. Once you RMB click “Approve” it creates the order with no issues. Has anyone encountered this before or have solution to ensure our auto approving Customer’s truly come through IFS Incoming Customer Orders and automatically approve?

I am trying to add a custom field to the ‘Consists Of’ list in the Engineering Part Navigator window, however when I add a field to the LU EngPartStructure, the field does not display as available to add to the table.Does anyone know how to add a custom field to this table?

We have tried to run the database task "Auto Processing Shop Order" as a scheduled task.  we have set the Offset from normal Time Span  at various days so it will only do specified weeks in advance.   Trouble is when we run it all Shop orders even those not within the specified time frame, get all their materials reserved.   is the task faulty or are we not setting the Task up correctly? 

Hi, The question I'm asking is not relevant only to CAPA objects, but also to a number of other objects as well. What we want is to configure approvals for each status of an object/line. In CAPA Actions, the line gets promoted through multiple statuses. The requirement is to set two persons as approvers (Person A and Person B) for the "Investigate" status. So, when a user clicks on "Investigate," the system should check whether Person A and Person B have provided their approval, and allow/disallow user accordingly.Similarly, for the other statuses shown in the image, there will be 2, 3, or more approvers set, with the same validation to be done before promoting the line to that status.It is true that this can be done through customization, but is there a standard/configuration way to do this more simply? Version: IFS Cloud 25R2 S. Already tried with attaching Approval Routings but no effect it seems.

I am trying to model a process called pre-staging in IFS Cloud where a manufactured part is tested together with several other parts, including both manufactured and purchased parts. The test itself does not consume the components, but I need to document which components were used for which test, including serial numbers.I also need to record the fact that this test takes time and money, so it would be important to document the test effort and related cost as well. Ideally, the solution should capture both the technical traceability and the business aspect of the test execution.Is there a standard IFS Cloud solution for this requirement? If yes, which standard process or standard object should I use to record test usage, serial number traceability, and test cost/time documentation without building a custom solution?

Hi Community I’m part of a new small data analyst team created within our company and we have been tasked with documenting all LOV’s in IFS 10 and the screens/fields they are used in.We are focusing on All Part types (Inventory, Sales, Maintenance etc), Customers and Suppliers to begin with, rather than going through each screen, tab and fields manually and writing them all down is there a way of extracting this info directly from IFS?I have it in my head there must be some links/tables in the background of IFS that show how everything is connected, I may be wrong, but anything has to be better than doing it all manually.Any help would be appreciated    

Will an outstanding control plan analysis prevent the shipment of a part?

Hello,We are evaluating Manufacturing Scheduling & Optimization (MSO, IC12816) and would like to clarify the differences between using MSO with and without IFS.ai.From the documentation, MSO appears to be available as a standalone product, while some references describe AI-powered scheduling, simulation, and scenario evaluation capabilities. However, it is not completely clear which functions require IFS.ai Activation Pass and which are available with standard MSO licensing.Could you please clarify the following?Can MSO (IC12816) be fully utilized without IFS.ai Activation Pass? What are the functional differences between: Standard MSO (without IFS.ai) MSO with IFS.ai Activation Pass Is there any official documentation or licensing guide describing the functional boundary between MSO and IFS.ai-related capabilities?Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Hi,We are currently using IFS APP9 with the Backflush method for material issuing.We have noticed that, for some shop orders, the system issues more material than the required quantity. Upon investigation, we identified the following two issues:Required Material Quantity Calculation, The required material quantity is displayed incorrectly, as the system appears to ignore decimal values during the calculation. Backflush Material Issue, During the backflush process, the system issues excess material, again seemingly without considering the decimal values. As a result, the issued quantity is higher than the actual requirement. I checked the inventory part→ master data. qty round up is properly updated.The lot size is 18, Reported qty is 17.  Please help me on this. Regards, Tharakan                             83 0 85
