Hello All, I have encountered a significant problem that I have been unable to resolve. I need to delete multiple inventory locations, however, I am unable to as they are referenced as the Proposed Location on numerous Shop Orders. I have been looking through the help and online community, but I have not found a way to correct these en masse. The only workaround I have found is to go to each individual Shop Order and delete the value in the field. If the SO is closed, it must be re-opened and then deleted. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello! I am interested in knowing if it is possible to automatically join a shop floor team in IFS 10 EE when clocking in time and attendance?

Hello all, I have a need to delete several hundred Shop Order Requisitions in IFS Apps 10. All of them have Shop Orders that have already been created and closed. It appears that I do have the capability to delete the requisitions, however, I am concerned that there may be some issue with simply deleting them. I need to keep the Shop Orders themselves for history reference. Are there any potential issues with simply deleting a shop order requisition that has been converted to a Shop Order, which has been completed and closed?Thank you!

For a manufactured part,if we set the Reserve/Backflush option to Manual in the Product structure and run a shop order flow,it would allow a user to issue material less than the shop order lot size but would also allow to receive the full quantitiy after operations are reported.any specific reason for this?

Hi, User did unpeg DOP connection from Shop Order accidentally. We would want to return the DOP connection for the shop order but could not find a way to do that in IFS client.Could you instruct how to do this? Regards,Peshala.

We are running into an issue when we try and removed a Selected part on the MRB Inspection line (in Aurena). We cannot find any option to remove it. In the IEE client you simply remove that line from the lower part of the window. Are we just not looking in the right place? 

I have created a user with limited access to investigate a user-specific issue. As per my current user setup debug console does not show any traces of the selected item. Which permission sets should be enabled to gain the visibility of traces?  

We are trying to export into Excel a report that shows the multiple level of parts that are in the structures on the “Complete Where Used” screen, see example below: The levels can be complex as one part number can have several layer deep.  Is there a standard IFS report that can show this information or would a complex SQL report need to be written?  We are on IFS Apps 9, update 16.  Thanks,Mark

Hi, When starting APB, the system prompts the user to log in again, even if the user is allready logged in to the main client (IFS 10 IEE).Activating SSO doesn’t seem possible for APB. Is there any way this re-login can be avoided?  

Hi,Is there any technical reason why in Apps 10 Aurena, the Multilevel Promotion function does not work with product structures of type "Purchased". Thanks!Regards,Naveena

Hi everybody! I have a problem with setting the expiration date of the inventory part in stock. In my work, we have some items the quality department need to change the expiration date label when they are near to the due date. for example, we have a tank the expire in two days but a person have to go to that tank and see one by one are going to expire to  begin a process of maintenance and put a new label with new due date. so, we want to put the expiration date of the tank on IFS and when the due date is near, we know which of them need to have a new label instead of going to search tank by tank by ourselves.

Hi all,There is a problem I’m struggling to find whether it’s a bug or due to some setting in the application.Scenario is below.When a shop order operation is started in SFW from Start Shop Order, and then without performing Stop Production, and performing Approve Operation for that shop order operation, the labor hours is not captured for that operation.When approving the operation, the Labor Time is ticked, and the Stop Clockings is also ticked, so as I understand, previously started clocking should be stopped automatically, and planned labor hours should be reported.But, I can see in the Operation statistics that, only the time from that start to stop (0.02) has been posted.I

Hi Community,I came across the below mentioned question while conducting a functional investigation.According to the help note, a backwards scheduled Shop Order is scheduled to start on the Need Date minus the lead time to manufacture the order.Does anyone know how to calculate the exact lead time to manufacture the order? Help note,​​​Thank you in advance.

In Aurena, My Time Registration – Grid view, is it possible to select all the lines under “Job Hours” to do changes rather than do changes line by line.

In reviewing the Rules for Shop Order Backflush help doc, it shows the order of priority in the various methods, however one of the lines states: if the part’s manufacturing attributes allow backflush from All Locations, then all Picking locations are searched. The question is, in what order are picking locations searched? When I have multiple locations which have a part to be backflushed in the needed quantity how can I predict the location from which inventory will be consumed? The same question exists for floor stock.

In a scenario where a team member is in 2 teams where one has view only permission and the other has access to change time, cost and material in the project, which team access is in effect for that particular team member?

Is there any site setting in Cloud for created SO's to come through with Forward Scheduled selected as standard, not Backwards Scheduled?

In Manufacturing Tools there is no possibility to define and restrict the capacity of a tool if needed. This is also unavailable in IEE. A date range could be specified to facilitate a time period however, the tool capacity cannot be specified in any way.

Is there a specific defined definition for the “DATE APPLIED” field in the windows Labor History, Opreration History and Indirect Labor History other than the definition given from the help option in IFS documentation?

Hi, we are using IFS Apps 10 and would like to know if there is a way shop floor operator can manually issue material which is a great quantity then the Qty assigned (reserved)? currently it is not possible without changing the required engineered amount on the shop order.  regards Jaime

When a project date of end is extended, the demand's required date is also updating on its own. As per the definition of “Required Date” this is updated automatically. Is there a way to modify this set up to not be updated as such?

Hello, I have setup an Event Action Task to assign newly created Count Reports to a group of users. I was hoping to then create an “Automatically complete the Task on Event” function to close the Task when one of the users completes the Count Report. However, I am not sure how to write this Event. I receive the following message when I attempt to enable to feature.Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!
