We want to add characteristics to many inventory parts for setup optimization. Now this dialog always wants us to use the action “Copy from Template” which is a really cumbersome and not easily automizable feature.Does anyone know how we can add information as a batch job to thousands of parts? Is there a way around this template? Why do we have a “+” menu to add lines manually if IFS does not accept it?

Hello,I am trying to create a count report for all parts in the warehouse for quarterly and annual physical counts. We use count reports for daily cycle counts so when I try to create a report for the quarterly where we will count everything, regardless of the last time the part was counted. When I try to create the quarterly/annual count reports, nothing populates because the parts were recently counted for cycle counts so they aren’t due to be counted. Has anyone found a way around this, and are able to create quarterly/annual count reports with all parts, on time of daily cycle counts, and if so, how? We are using cloud.

Hello everyone,I am currently testing Sales and Operations Planning in IFS Cloud and have successfully configured a basic Product Family and S&OP plan.So far I have:Created an MS Level 0 Product Family Created the Planning Structure linking MS Level 1 parts Created an S&OP plan Successfully copied forecast and supply data from MS Level 1 using Copy S&OP FamilyThe S&OP Grid is populated correctly and I can work with forecast and supply data.My next goal is to evaluate capacity using Sales and Operations Planning Load Analysis, but I am struggling to understand the required setup and prerequisites.When opening Sales and Operations Planning Load Analysis, the screen remains empty and I am not sure:What setup objects are required before Load Analysis can be used? Is a Resource Routing required on the Product Family or on the MS Level 1 parts? Does RRP need to be executed before data becomes available? How are Capacity Scenarios created and connected to S&OP? What is the

 Hi everyone,I would appreciate your advice on the expected behaviour of the Charged Item setting on a sub-component linked to a subcontracted main part in the Product Structure in IFS Cloud.Our scenario is as follows:We have a subcontracted main part, MAIN001 (Purchase), linked to a sub-component, SUBC001(Purchase). The cost of the main subcontracted part is correctly calculated by taking into account the cost of its sub-components, resulting in the correct unit cost. When the component's Charged Item setting is set to “Item not Charge “on the Product Structure, running Part Cost Calculation for Cost Set 2 appears to roll up the sub-component cost into the main subcontracted part's cost, resulting in a double cost. However, when the setting is changed to “Charged Item”, the sub-component cost does not appear to roll up into the main part's cost, and the Level Cost and Accumulated Cost appear to be correct.However, changing this setting does not appear to have any financial impact on t

1. Issue SummaryThe Part Cost Calculation for Cost Set 2 appears to duplicate the sub-component cost, including its associated scrap component cost, when calculating the cost of a subcontracted main part linked to a sub-component on a Purchase type Product Structure.As a result, the calculated Part Cost does not match the actual inventory part unit cost established through the purchase order receipt and subsequent inventory revaluation.Scenario DescriptionOur scenario involves the following parts:Main subcontracted part: SUBCON001-03 (Purchase) Sub-component: SUBCOMP001-03 (Purchase raw) Sub-component unit cost: 5,500 Purchase Order price for the main part: 630The following steps were performed:A Purchase Order was created for the main subcontracted part, SUBCON001-03, at a purchase price of 630. The sub-component, SUBCOMP001-03, was shipped to the supplier for the subcontracting operation. Upon receipt of the main subcontracted part from the supplier, the inventory part SUBCON001-03 w

Hello.On SQL Developer, I tried this sql query : select COMPANY, IDENTITY, OBJKEY,    ifsapp.Identity_Invoice_Info_API.Get_Objkey(company_=>COMPANY, identity_=>IDENTITY, party_type_=>PARTY_TYPE) as OBJKEY_API,    ifsapp.Identity_Invoice_Info_API.Get_Objkey(company_=>COMPANY, identity_=>IDENTITY, party_type_=>PARTY_TYPE_DB) as OBJKEY_API2from IDENTITY_INVOICE_INFOwhere PARTY_TYPE_DB='CUSTOMER';But the 2 calls of the get_objkey function return the null value.What’s wrong with my SQL query?ThanksIFS IEE 10 UPD 5

Hi all,The IFS Cloud documentation for Project MRP (About PMRP) gives this netting hierarchy:Within the demand activity Within valid project netting groups Standard inventoryI’m seeing PMRP results that don’t seem to follow step 1, and I’d like to understand how the netting actually works.Scenario (one project, one site, PMRP run with project-level netting / project PNG)Activity Demand Supply Date WF0 none 7 pcs on hand in project inventory (surplus) Available now WF1 Material Req 10 Released PO line 1: 10 19/02/2027 WF4 Material Req 10 Released PO line 2: 10 Demand 20/05/2027, PO 19/05/2027 WF1 and WF4 are each already balanced by their own PO line. The only excess is the 7 on hand at WF0.PMRP result (Inventory Part Availability Planning)Planned MTR: WF0 → WF1, qty 7, due 19/02/2027 Planned MTR: WF1 → WF4, qty 7, due 20/05/2027So PMRP moves the WF0 stock into WF1, which pushes 7 of WF1’s own PO quantity into surplus, and then plans a second MTR to move that

We are using IFS Cloud 22R2I’m trying to set a GTIN for a part as default. But there is no possibilty without selecting “Used For Identification”. Is there a way to change it like ;Used For identification : NoDefault :Yes 

Hi, We have set up the Master Schedule module to create forecasts for manufactured parts related to Configuration Structures.MRP correctly goes through all the levels of the structure for material requirements calculation. We expected the same behaviour for the CRP process for labor, but we have noticed that only the first level of the Configuration Structure is taken into account by CRP for the Master Schedule source (it works correctly for Shop Order or DOP sources).  Are there any known limitations or particular setup requirements? Thank you in advance.IFS Current version : 25R2 SU5

Hello.We have documents attached to shop order operations, routing operations and on standard operations.Those documents are actually outdated and we would need to change its revision to the last one.Is there an easy way for that?ThanksIFS APPS 10 UPD 5

Hello,When a Manufacturing Control Plan is connected to an IFS shop order, the inspection sample size is calculated based on the total shop order lot size. The analysis must then be completed for the required sample size and confirmed before the shop order can be closed.Is there a standard way in IFS to release, receive, or ship only a partial quantity of a shop order while continuing to use the Manufacturing Control Plan?Our desired process is:Original shop order quantity: 100 units Partial quantity to be released/shipped: 40 units Inspection sample size recalculated based on the 40-unit partial lot Analysis completed and confirmed for the 40 units Remaining 60 units retained on the original shop order or processed separatelyCan IFS recalculate the control plan inspection sample size based on the partial quantity being released, rather than the original shop order quantity?If this is possible, what is the recommended IFS workflow or configuration? For example, should we use shop order

Hello,We would like to customize the Time Clock terminal display so that when technicians swipe their card or enter employee ID, they only see the operations that are assigned to them.We would also like to display additional operational details beyond the operation number and description, such as:Part Number Lot Quantity Labor Time Any other relevant production informationIs this type of customization possible in IFS? If so, could you please provide the relevant IFS documentation, configuration guides, or customization references that explain how this can be implemented?IFS version: 26R1Thank you!

Does anyone have any training materials for the use of defense contracts and order management in IFS Cloud?  Or even earlier versions?  Thanks!

Hi, IFS Cloud 25R2 version. The Test Operation is set for AQL 0.25 and Inspection Level II.For a Shop Order of Lot Size 4 the Sample Size 3 has been calculated. The question is, here all 3 samples are within Inner limits. However, the Acceptance Sampling Status shown as “Rejected”. Any reason ? 

Hi everyone,Is it possible in standard IFS Cloud to default a specific existing Handling Unit ID for packing shop order receipts based on the manufactured part?For example: Handling Unit Type: CRATE Existing Handling Unit IDs: CRATE-100, CRATE-101 and CRATE-102 Manufactured Part: SPORT-BIKE We create our shop orders from Shop Order Requisitions and need the whole process to be automated. Whenever a requisition is converted into a shop order for SPORT-BIKE, we would like CRATE-101 to be connected automatically for packing the finished goods, without manually connecting it to each shop order.I haven’t found a way to define this default against the part. The requirement is to use CRATE-101 specifically, rather than generate a new HU of type CRATE through a packing instruction.Is there a standard setup to support this end-to-end process, or would it require customisation? Assume CRATE-101 is available and not connected to another shop order or shipment.Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed that when they are using Time Clock to record in/out times.If the Time Clock has a physical keyboard and the user hits Return on the keyboard instead of clicking OK on the screen, it creates another in or out.For example, if the user is swiping out, they enter their employee ID and hit Return on the physical keyboard, it records an OUT and an IN at the same time.Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

I wanted to share a short update on the evolution of the Shop Order Costs page.Historically, the page was designed around a simple assumption: one manufactured part no per shop order. Over time, starting from Applications7, the shop order estimate cost calculation was improved so that by-product cost could be separated from the shop order part no.With more and more customers using By-Products, Co-Products, Disassembly Components and Substitute Part within the same shop order context, the need for better shop order cost visibility has increased.The purpose of this post is to highlight that evolution and explain how the page has adapted to support it. This is not a dramatic change in direction, and manufacturers who do not work with co-products or by-products may notice only minor differences. Many of you are probably already familiar with this "journey".For the old-timers out there 🙂, here is a screenshot from the Applications 2001 era:And here below I have added a screen capture of th

Hi Team,We are using Production Schedule reporting in IFS Cloud and have observed that some records in the Production Schedule Reports page remain in “Created” status. If a report remains in Created status, what configuration, background jobs, material transactions, or other processes should be checked? Is there any standard IFS process/job that should be executed to process such records further? How can we identify the exact reason why a particular report has remained in Created status? What subsequent process or event changes the status from Created to Backflush Complete?We would appreciate clarification on the complete status flow and the expected system behaviour.

Good afternoon, We are trying to revoke project disconnection for purchase order lines.  User are allowed to connect to projects just not disconnect.How do I do this?Thanks! 

Hi Community,we are using IFS Applications 10 Quality Management and Control Plans for dimensional inspections.We have identified a limitation when defining variable characteristics with tolerance ranges according to ISO fits and tolerances, e.g. ISO 286.In the standard functionality, IFS validates the tolerance values against the nominal value. For example, the following validations are applied:Outer Min must be less than or equal to the Nominal Value Inner Min must be less than or equal to the Nominal Value Inner Max must be greater than or equal to the Nominal Value Outer Max must be greater than or equal to the Nominal ValueThis assumes that the nominal value is always located within the permitted tolerance range.However, this is not always the case for standard engineering fits and tolerances.Example: Ø20 s6According to ISO 286, the tolerance zone is located completely above the nominal dimension. A characteristic can therefore have:Nominal Value: 20.000 mm Lower limit: 20.027 mm

If a part has a receive case inspection code of C, with a qty to inspect of 5, and the part has a purchasing control plan, with different inspection codes and qty to inspect, what quantity to inspect amount will get pulled into the receipt as the quantity to inspect.

Hello everyone, I am experiencing an issue with the package part in Cloud (25R1) The component part -Qty per assembly is correctly defined on the package part (which is 1), and the UOM ==EA is also correct (all parts). This is not configurable part.However, when i add the package part to Business opportunity or sales quotation, sometimes all component quantities are recalculated to unexpected values, such as 0.5 or 0.8.Has anyone experienced the similar behavior? Are there any known causes, configuration settings? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. 

Dear Team,I am new to IFS cloud deplyong the solution on-premises. Kindly recommend third-party tools that I can deploy to help me with managing user licenses and that can also be used on other platforms. Also if there are tools i can use for helping in administration and they are not part of the default delivery.

Hello,I am looking for recommendations and best practices regarding software version tracking in IFS for manufactured products.We have a customer who produces devices (radars) where software is an integral part of the delivered product. The challenge is that Engineering often knows that software will be required, but the exact version is not known when the BOM is created. The final software version may only be decided during manufacturing, testing, or shortly before delivery.I would be interested to hear how other customers handle this scenario and which approach has proven most practical for maintaining software traceability throughout the product lifecycle.Thank you in advance for any recommendations and examples from real implementations.Pavel K.

Hi All, We are testing MRP  before we jump to cloud 9. ( plan is to move from Apps 9 to Cloud)All looks good but we found some of the SO due dates in Apps9 and Cloud 9 varies,.Steps we took.mirror both base data  inv/shop orders /customer orders and master data in both environment  Apps9 and Colud. Run MRP with adding some new Customer orders (both identical in Apps 9 and Cloud) Check the MRP out put. 99% MRP out put same in both Apps 9and Cloud 1% Shop orders Due date  in App9 is much  than Cloud. ( some orders has 2 days some orders has 5 days etc)I am trying to look for a reason   why there is a difference ?check master data for all the affected SO  ( manufacturing lead time /Routing etc).. all same in both environment.No Luck So far , can anyone direct me to get the bottom of the issue int this case?
