Community, anyone has experience on below parameter “Allow Automatic Substitution of Parts” on below Customer window. If so, how to use it, what will be the scenario then? thank you. 

Hi every body. A customer ask me about the international certificacions of IFS like ISO… etc.It’s a aerospace customer…... Can give me anybody a list with this certification of IFSCloud. Thankssssss

All,In Apps9 if we create a repair structure we can have the part that is being produced as the component in the structure. Having tried to replicate this in IFS Cloud we are are getting the following error message. How are we to now handle sorting of bad parts or doing an extra op to completed parts to rectify a fault in IFS Cloud? We need to have traceability so use the shop order batch lot number, it seems very strange that the system is not allowing this. All help very much appreciated.Sarah  

Afternoon, I have gone to sign off a shop order operation before approving the operation but get the message below. not come across this error message before, does anyone know what has caused this and how to handle the error?thanks,Jamie 

Hello,I need a help to under Inventory Valuation Method and its types standard Cost, weighted avaerage, FIFO and LIfo. definition or the difference.Regards,Kruthika

Hello, I have a question why the sorting of the list suggestion works differently at different functionalities.  I am attaching a TEST PLAN for the functionality.So why is there a difference in terms of suggesting list values ​​for filters?Best regards, Mariusz

Hello IFS Team and Community, I am facing the following error when trying to perform a comprehensive Shop Order Split. In other instances I had this error pop up during Shop Order Report and it would simply stop happening if I would wait a couple minutes. Any idea what could cause this? It seems to be all properly set in Control Plan.Any help or guidance is much appreciated! Error during Shop Order splitControl Plan Tool - Properly setControl Plan Tool Connection 

Dear all, We are facing an IFS behaviour we actually can’t deal with. We have routings with “not parallel operation” folowing each other. Some of the “not parallel operations” have “parallel operations” connected to them. If the “non parallel operation” is closed, a new scheduling of the shop order will move the non closed “parallel operations” to another “not parallel operation”, which is completely modifying the sequence of work.  Is there any way in IFS cloud to take into account the presence of a “non parallel operation” during a Shop order scheduling, even if this “not parallel operation” is closed ? 

Community, What will be the issue that prevent the shop order sub contract job from being received? any idea?thank you. 

We are using the Advanced Planning Board to schedule resources within [certain] work centers. (The resource represents employees/workers rather than machines in our setup.) The APB tool is not loading the resource with its maximum capacity each day. Rather than loading a resource at the full 8 hours it can handle, we are seeing 4-6 hours being allocated per resource per day. Is there a setting or configuration needed per resources to achieve this?Because the resources are not scheduling to their full “potential”/capacity, the work center is also showing less 100% capacity each day (generally we are seeing around 60% capacity for the work center).We would like the APB tool to schedule these resources at their full capacity, resulting in work centers at [or close to] 100% capacity each day.

I do a lot of forecasting using S&OP.  I want to predict my future material requirements in MRP based on the MS set 2 forecasts.  How do I do that?

Recently, a customer asked how required quantity is calculated when using a scrap factor (%). Here's the scenario:You have two components in the shop order (lot size = 1), but UOM in YK-S-P1 is PCS and in YK-S-P2 it is pcs (decimal allowed, qty calc = 2). The problem customer had, why the required qty is not calculated as: (qty per assembly * scrap factor + qty per assembly)According to that, for the second part required qty = 1 × 0.1 + 1 = 1.1. He asked why it was 1.1112?The calculation here is done according to the equation: lot size/ (1-scrap factor)So, for the first part: 1/ (1-0.1) = 1.1112 but the qty UOM here is PCS(decimals not allowed). Therefore, required qty = 2.For the second part, the same calculation, since the decimals are allowed, qty required = 1.1112.What is this equation lot size/ (1-scrap factor) and from where does it come from?There are 2 ways you can derive this equation:Using Proportional Inverse Relationship Using Recursive Loss / Geometric Series (found this t

Community, Got this error, see below screenshot for MRP run. does it mean the PR generated by the system over the system allowable limit? i.e. 9999? How to fix this error? Thank you.

We would like a way to reverse “Database Saves” that have been committed via the Advanced Planning Board. There appears two ways to save a schedule locally using the APB; by using “File Save…” and “Save Workspace”.What is the difference between saving a file and saving a workspace [in the APB] locally to my machine? It appears that the only way to load a [previously saved] file/workspace is to set the APB’s Application Run Mode to “Simulation Mode”. However, once this file is loaded in, we are unable to perform a “Database Save” because we are in simulation mode. And when you switch back to “Scheduler Mode” any data loaded in is cleared out. Because of this we are unable to commit any previously saved/loaded in files/workspaces back to IFS via a “Database Save”. Is there a way to save previously stored schedules (either file or workspace) back to the database? If so, how can this be done considering the behavior of the Application Run Mode?Our main goal is to save the “old” schedule lo

I have a serialized assembly that has lot controlled components.  The as built structure for the assembly of the serialized assembly shows the lot batch numbers of the of the components I used to assemble the serialized parts.I now open a repair shop order and flag it as multi level.  I then issue the serialized assembly and the multilevel repair structure shows the lot batches of the components from the item’s original construction.  All is well so far. One of the components needs to be replaced and the original component is scrapped.  SO I do a remove and go ro do an add.  Questions:Why does the system automatically create a salvage part that I must now receive even though that component is just going to b=the scrap heap?  I can understand if it were a salvage or a replacement and I intend to use that partially used component elsewhere but why a salvage part if I am NOT salvaging it?  How do I just remove it an add a new one? As I said earlier, the component is lot controlled and we

We are currently upgrading from Apps10 to Cloud and we use Estimate in Apps10.Looking at Estimate in Cloud - we can’t find the Estimate tree level view.  We use this view to move items in and out of structures in the same estimate.Where is the overall tree view?  Does it still exist in Cloud?Estimate Tree View in Apps10Same Estimate in Cloud - only list and card view 

In IFS Cloud 22R2 SU3 (and previous versions), there is an issue in the Sales Configurator.On Page Sales Rule for Part, when creating a new Action, e.g. of type ‘Attach Optional’, selecting Value Type ‘Order Info’ will give you the wrong List of Value (LOV) for column Value. Hence it is not possible to select any of the designated values, which should be:- Customer No- Delivery Country for the Customer- Latest Customer Value- Latest Order Value- Sales Group- Sales Part No- Sales Quantity- Sales Unit of Measure- User ID- Supply SiteIt seems like the LOV from Conditions is used instead.Please advise if there is any correction available for this issue.

Posting control in IFS Cloud refers to the process of translating business events into financial transactions. This system ensures that many financial postings are created automatically, using predefined posting types and control types configured under IFS/Accounting Rules.In manufacturing, numerous system events like OOREC, OPFEED, and SODIFF+ are commonly used. These are linked to financial outcomes through the appropriate combination of posting types and control types.In addition to basic control types, combination control types are used to further refine posting logic by including multiple control factors, such as Accounting Group, Asset Class etc.I've included a document with detailed information on business events, posting types, and control types that can help others better understand how financial postings work in IFS Cloud. 

Hello!We are looking to create a new 24/7 Work Time Calendar and use it as the Manufacturing Calendar at the Site level. We are curious what other areas of IFS the Site level manufacturing calendar has an impact on. We just want to understand any and all implications of changing that calendar before we change it in our PROD environment. Thanks.

Is there a way or method to record the number of hours an operator worked in a production floor environment that was not actually clocked in to shop order.

Hello,I am trying to enable automatic reservation and backflush upon shop order receipt (operation approval) in Shop Floor Workbench (IFS APPS 10 UPD 23).The product structure is set up to automatically reserve and backflush from a specific location and connected operation. Everything was working fine until I enabled lot tracking, and now it’s returning the error message: “There are not enough reservations for the tracked part. It must be reserved before it is issued, as the parent part is multilevel tracked.” I know I can get around this by right-clicking the material line and selecting “Reserve”, but I don’t want the operators to have to do that. This process occurs in the middle of a production line, so they’d have to Reserve upon each receipt, as not all of the material would be available at the start of the Shop Order. I’d like the system to automatically calculate, reserve, and backflush the exact quantity of material required upon each partial receipt/op approval. Is this possib

Hello, I am using IFS Cloud 24R1 and we use SFWB to generate QA analysis from a manufacturing Control Plan. It appears that the new way to enter results is through a guided workflow that steps through each check and provides a pass/fail after clicking the checkbox. While this is beneficial, we are seeing that it can add a significant amount of time if you have a Control Plan that has 30+ checks. The table view in IEE made it easier to enter results quickly. Are there any other ways to modify the process for entering an analysis results to streamline the process? On average, we do 2,000+ analysis per week, so any method to increase the ability to enter results quickly would be beneficial. Thank you!

24.2.0What determines the Batch Size by Weight for the default Recipe Alternate ‘*’? I am seeing behavior I cannot troubleshoot.My Company is setup to use lb as its Weight Unit of Measure (this should not be a factor, though).I have a user-defined unit of measure as below. 1 short ton = 907.18474 kg.My Part uses this unit of measure as below.My Site is set to default enter recipe by Weight Share.My inventory part is a Recipe part that uses this unit of measure.In the Recipe Structure, the alternate ‘*’ that is created when the Inventory Part is saved as a Recipe part shows the Batch Size by Weight = 0.001 ton short.What does this 0.001 value indicate? Why is this not a 1, i.e. the batch size to start is 1 ton short. When I try to add components it fails with the cryptic message ‘numeric or value error: character string buffer too small’, so it is not possible to even create a components list to allow adjusting the recipe. 

Hi all,I am quite new to IFS Cloud 24R2 and I would like to ask if it is possible to add CF to Routings - OPERATIONS.  When i run “Page designer” i can see the name of the entity: RoutingOperation.Am i right???  But I am not able to find this entity in “Entity Configuration”. The only entity simmilar is RoutingOperationList and it says: “This Entity cannot have Custom Attributes”.  Is it really impossible to add CF to “Routing” - “OPERATIONS”??ThanksJan

Hello,I am encountering an issue when attempting to prepare the transfer of a template structure to Manufacturing (from the "Manage Template" page). The procedure is executed through background jobs, but I receive the following error:"Part already exists as a master part and is not a position part. To resolve the issue, you need to either remove the existing master part or change the catalog number in the template structure, and then perform a retransfer.ORA-20110: PositionPartReference.PARTALREADYEXIST."For some structures, I was able to resolve the problem after noticing that the part already existed as an Inventory Part. Since the transfer process is supposed to create Inventory Parts, the pre-existing ones were blocking the transfer.By deleting the stored Inventory Parts linked to the structure, I was able to successfully prepare and complete the transfer to Manufacturing.However, this method does not work for some of my other structures.Has anyone encountered this issue before or
