Apps 10 IEE Shop Order Multi-level Repair Structure issue

I am working in the Apps 10 UPD 23 GCS IEE environment and I am trying to manage a Shop Order Multi-Level Repair Structure. I can get the structure to appear but when I RMB on any of the components in the tree, the component replacement selection is grayed out.Is this due to a permissions issue? If so, what permission should be granted to allow that function to be used? Thanks!!

FILTER PART BY DESCRIPTION

Hi, In some IFS screens (Ex : Shop order Material Tab), it’s impossible to apply a filter by [Part description]. Only [Part code] is available. But sometimes (ex : Shop Orders vue), we can apply a filter by [Part description]. So users have to swith between différent screens in IFS. Thanks

Shop Order Receive Case

We currently use the "Receive Case" option at the Supplier for Purchase Part level, allowing us to receive parts into different options. Our process involves receiving the material into the Arrival section, inspecting it at Quality, and then moving it into Stock, which suits the Purchase Parts well.However, for shop orders, we're receiving them into Picking locations and applying an Availability Control ID to prevent the material from being consumed on Shop Orders/Customer Orders until after inspection. We're looking to streamline Shop Order Receipts by receiving directly into the Quality location and then transferring to Stock post-inspection. Unfortunately, when processing shop orders, the Quality Assurance location types aren't appearing in the Location No field in the Receipt window; only Picking locations are visible. Despite setting up the Inventory Part Default Location with a Quality location, it doesn't automatically appear in the Shop Order Receipt window.Are there specific s

IFS Cloud Emission s Tracker

Hi all,From where I can download the “IFS Cloud Emissions Tracker” app. I downloaded “IFS sustainability planner” from MS store. But, it is different from “IFS Cloud Emissions Tracker”.

Excel Migration not Recognizing System Field

Hi all, I have been working on creating a migration job import new Functional Objects in IFS Cloud. I keep getting so close with a solution, but now am running into a new set of errors... it feels like I've tried everything. Any help is greatly appreciated.When I enter SITE1 into the contract field, the migration job doesn't recognize the input. That being said, when I enter SITE2 into the contract field, I get an error that I don't have access to the site - that tells me that the migration job is able to read the field but cannot recognize either SITE1 or SITE2 as being valid. I was doing some deep diving into the migration job and the Equipment_Functional entity and found something interesting...In the Migration Job source mapping, when I load Equipment_Functional.CONTRACT, it does not have the same attribute flags as other CONTRACTs, such as Inventory_Part.CONTRACT or Purchase_Part.CONTRACT (and Migration jobs with these CONTRACT fields work perfectly): Equipment_Functional ViewPu

Enhance the PDf viewer zoom

Hi, I’d like to suggest some enhancement for the very useful Quick Preview feature IFS Cloud offers for some files types when using Document Management.Currently, we can : Rotate Zoom in/out with a slider (with no real-time preview)I suggest 2 other functionnalities that would be more ergonomic to use, especially with touch devices :Zoom In and Zoom out buttons : zoom in or out by increment (10% ?) Full page : auto scale the document to display the full picture (if image) or full page (if PDF) This would seriously increase the ergonomy to view some technical drawings in the Shop Floor Workbench screen for example.Best regards, Pierre

Run Workflow on Status Change

We are running IFS cloud. I want to run an IFS Workflow when a ShopOrder Status changes to RELEASED. I spent way too much time trying to set this up and getting lots of unintuitive errors messages from the workflow designer and IFS when trying to test, deploy, etc. Anybody ever done this and have some pointers?

Issue material scanning lot Batch

We issue shelf life materials as we use them. We have instances where 1 logical location has multiple lot batches to issue for the same part #. Is there a way to have the technician scan a lot batch barcode, and then only the options for that lot batch show to be issued? We enter the Manual Issue from the material tab in Shop Floor Workbench

Shop order - Two Output, one input

In our metal shop, we’re attempting to optimize raw material by producing parts that will consume full steel sheets. As an example, if we are producing A123, Quantity 50, we want to automatically produce Quantity 50 of B123. These two parts/quantities can be produced on one sheet of sheet. We looked at the byproduct receipt function, however we do not think that will work. To us, the byproduct receipt function is more for donuts and donut holes. If you are making a donut, you simply punch out the center and you have your finished product. In our example with steel the byproduct needs additional operations.We looked into setting it up in the structure, however that doesn’t look like an option either.Ideas that will help us make this work. Or are we chasing something that IFS Apps10 cannot accommodate?

DOP Netting issue when serials are available on sub assemblies

MRP Creating Requisitions for MS Level 1 Parts

Hello, I’m in 23R1 and seeing some unexpected behaviour with MS Level 1 parts when I run Site level MRP. I have 20 Manufactured parts that are MS Level 1 parts. Create S/P is set to create S/P Entire Horizon and when I run the MS calculation, everything works as I expect and Shop Order Requisitions are generated. If I then run selective MRP based on the Planner these parts share, the demand flows down and MRP generates Purchase Requisitions for the component parts. However, if I run MRP for the entire Site, MRP generates a handful of Shop Orders for the MS Level 1 parts. I did some investigating and this seems to happen if the on-hand quantity is below the safety stock. If I Re-Run MS after this, the MRP generated requisitions are then deleted. Is this a bug? The parts are top-level sales parts and not in any other structures. Requisitions Generated by both MS & MRP for the same part:

MS Generated SORs & Shop Order Auto Processing

Hi All, I’m interested in the ‘best practice’ way to use Shop Order Auto Processing for MS Level 1 parts. I’m in 23R1. I have a set-up where we use Auto Processing to covert the MS generated SORs within the PTF. This is because we have several routing alternates for each SO and the planners are working from the Visual Capacity Planning Screen to ensure all work centers are fully utilized. The planners resolve the overloads primarily by changing the routing alternate, so need to work with SOs rather than SORs. The work centers have different costs, speeds & resource shares, so we moved away from using multiple resources in one work center. The Auto Processing job works great most of the time and saves a lots of clicks. However, I hadn’t realized if for any reason the Shop Order needs to be deleted/cancelled, the original SOR remains in place and still shows as planned supply. As we have the S/P setting to Create S/P Req & the Generate Fixed MS set as on, running the MS calculati

Avoid closure of operation/shop order without reporting time

IFS FIFO picking setup

Hello, I have been looking for help on the FIFO picking in IFS (for Customer Orders and Shop Orders). I am looking to confirm that when IFS generates a picklist, that it is directly the associate to the oldest stocking record so that we are using our oldest material and shipping our oldest product. Is there a way to verify this is properly configured in IFS Apps 10? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Shop order cost issues SODIFF+ and SODIFF-/Calc Variance

Hi,When we close a shop order, the inventory item is being booked into inventory at a different cost from the actual shop order cost, with the difference being booked as SODIFF+ and SODIFF- (also shown as Calc Variance), and we can’t understand how the numbers in SODIFF+ and SODIFF- are being calculated.I’ve attached screenshots of the General tab, the Costs tab and the Misc Part Info tab from the Inventory Part screen, as well as the Overview Unit Cost tab and the Cost Estimate tabs from the Shop Order Costs screen. On the Overview Unit Costs tab of the Shop Order Costs screen we understand the Accum Cost figure of £8,339.49 as we can see the detailed breakdown of this under Actual Cost Details, but we don’t understand how the Calc. Variance figure of £1,601.75 is calculated. The product has been booked into inventory at the total value of £9,941.24, so this is impacting on inventory value.I understand that in some instances the shop order looks at estimated cost, however the Cost Es
