Does anybody have any documentation regarding IFS ERP ? or Can you recommend an external source ?      Thanks 

Has anyone worked out a way to report on concurrent clockings. e.g. Employee AShop Order 123    Started:  07/04/2021  10:00  Finished:  07/04/2021  16:00Shop Order 124    Started   07/04/2021   10:00  Finished:  07/04/2021 16:00Shop Order 125    Started   07/04/2021    10:15  Finished:  07/04/2021  12:15 Report would currently show  (6 + 6 + 2) = 14 hoursWhereas, we would want it to show 6 hours as he has only taken  6 hours (10:00 - 16:00) Any ideas on how I could achieve this. Thanks

When Shop order is created through project Delivery, operation number is missing on the shop order material tab. User has to update the operation number manually on the Material tab after shop order creation. Is this the standard behavior of the IFS Application or is there a way that we can make the application fetch the relevant operation number?

I have encountered the below error while deploying a GET patch.Error: PLS-00201: identifier 'COMPONENT_TREF_SYS.INSTALLED' must be declared.As I was investigating the issue, I noticed that Component_Tref_SYS was not generated/deployed in the DEV database during the build and installation.The error comes from a method that belongs to Invoice_API but the patch I applied did not contain any code changes related to Invoice_API or INVOIC component. Therefore, I assumed that the Invoice_API got deployed as a dependency and compared module_dependency_tab of DEV with BNT as the next step and identified a few differences,TREF is not listed as a dependency for INVOIC module INVOIC is listed as a dynamic dependency for TREF module but in BNT it is listed as a static dependency. I’m not sure what caused these differences, but I noticed the same error in one of the previous  installation logs as well (only i

On occasion we need to cut a “large” bag and fill “small” bags with the product that was in the “large” bags.  It is the same product, just different sku sizes, with different IFS Part numbers.We need to retain the original (large) mfg date and expire date of the product to the new (small) product.   We are on IFS version 9 update 17 using Production Schedule to manufacture our product.  Production Schedule eceipt uses “current date” as the mfg date & expire date is shelf life added to the receipt date.  Any suggestions on how to accomplish this in IFS?  Either within our current process or utilizing a different process?

Hi,Please I need help on using the REST API. I have tried using the API explorer in APP 10 but it is not working.Would you be able to guide to the right group or resources on using REST API?  I need the API to use for Shop Order Material Issue.Thank you,Timi

I have a customer whose industry is Textiles (rolls of fabric).  The fabric can stretch during the manufacturing process.  For example a roll might be 2000 ft when it is loaded onto the ream, at the end of production the fabric stretched and we were able to produce 2020 ft.  We have set up the roll as Reserve/Issue of Manual and the other components as reserve/backflush from floor stock.The customer does not run 1 roll of 2000 ft but more like 10,000 ft.  What I am finding is that even though we have set up our rolls as Manual (reserve/issue), the system wants to overcome from the next roll.  If we select ‘simplified’ on the receipt of shop order, then we receive an error on the items to be backflushed from floor stock.Ideally we would want to be able to select simplified for the rolls and backflush for the other components.How would we set this up to accomplish this?  This is a typical industry requirement.Thank you!

We are running Apps10 UPD10Our QA department is looking for better traceability on the progress on NCRs.  Typical information is “who did that step” or “when did that happen”. We aren’t finding history in NCRs.Any suggestions on where we can find this information?  

For those of you that use IFS - did you know that the arrows on the left-hand side of the advanced search tell you if the field is indexed or not?A green arrow indicates it is - and will improve the performance/speed of your searches! #ifsapplications #tipsandtricks Can you show an example of adding a directory? When I check it, all the screens show a red arrow sign.  

Hi using apps 10 and trying to set up auto reserve and issue of shop order material and have come across a material availability issue below. I have set the Reserve/ issue form location on the part structure and check to see there is available stock on hand but when i go to auto reserve the material I'm presented with the below error message. but when i check the available inventory on Inventory part in stock is shows 144L of part 116767 available in location 18694 which is Picking type. Why is the reserve and backflush

FIFO is the recommended Inventory part Valuation Method for our organizational users by the Finance Department. However, we noticed that some of the part creators in IFS in the past have incorrectly created parts with Standard Cost with ‘Cost Per Part’  at Cost Level. There are already transactions in IFS with this incorrect valuation method. (There are couple of Parts with ‘Cost Per Lot Batch’ at Cost level as well) .  Now I need to change those parts’ Inventory valuation Method back to FIFO. What type of impact will it have if I change them directly in the Inventory Part window? (Plan is to have FIFO with ‘Cost Per Part’ for the majority of the parts and Weighted Average with ‘Cost Per Lot Batch’ for the rest)  One of the special scenarios we use is that we receive via ‘Receive Inventory Part’ the project leftover quantities (since they were previously paid by the project) at zero cost which reduces the inventory unit cost overall. But when we issue the

How can you set the 'Default Value' for a page parameter that would result from a data query?ex. We are working to present our employees with data about customers that they share responsibility for (many to many relationship - so we cannot just put a named person on a customer record).The thought we had would be to build our own table where we could store how the Default Value for Customer would need to be written and this would be retrieved from a query.

almighty community, anyone has experience using below option in Site MRP Calculation? we would like to know what system is trying to do if have this option on? also, any documentation in IFS regarding this option? Thank you.

In Apps 10 UPD 10, we use Create Consolidated Pick List for Shipment. it is grouped by Warehouse.  I see nothing in the app or in IFS documentation that would let us sort the picklist by part number or anything like that. If we can sort that way, it will assist the picker to see all of the same part together, especially relevant for large multi order shipments.  Am I just missing it? What order is a pick list sorted by, by default? it does not appear to be by location or by order # or by part #.Thanks

If I have a context called e.g.  “FL” - am I able to assign more then one usergroup to this one context e.g.  for this one context I would like to assign these three groupsFRONTLINE SALESFRONTLINE REGIONALFRONTLINE ESP If this is possible how would I need to type these in

Hi All, We need to find a place to keep information about our CNC Programs We have no module for that Do you have idea where we can put this information in IFS ? The information we need is: Part NoRevisionMaterial (Sheet Metal)Lot Size (we have programs for whole sheets and bars)Work Centers (on which program can be performed) Because work centers and material is needed so i thoughr that we can put this information within routing and/or structure window. We could possibly do it with custom field.  Do you have any other idea ? Does someone do that before ? Also, we should be able to attach the file within this window but its not a sine qua non

Hi, I need to configure one warehouse to only allow adding one type of handling units (pallet) in one bin.How can I do it? Thanks

When trying to make a parent manufacturing part’s product structure “buildable” having one of the next level product structures not made “buildable”, system does not generate an “Error message” restricting the user from doing so. This impacts the MRP calculation. Can this be improved or is there any solution already exist to accomplish the requirement?

Dear Teams.Input Receipt date should be mandatory by manual. But it’s prohibited.How can I solve it on IFS 10 upd 8 ?   Regards;Yasuda

Hi We are using APPs 10 and trying to schedule operations in sequence so they do not plan to start in parallel. We have created a new work centre which only has one operations that travels through the work centre, set the ‘ concurrent operations’ to NOT Allowed - Group start in sequence (work centre below)when  the MRP schedules the operations it plans for the operations to start before the previous operation is finished. In the routing there is 0 Overlap and a crew size of 1, its physically impossible to do this, why is the system scheduling in this way?regardsJamie 

I’ve created a new shop order by following a training doc support. I’ve got the following error message : “Structure Revision is null. Issuing is not allowed”. And during the flow, the following question (Popup) appears : “The shop order is for revision of part XXX-YYY. The location you selected in row 1 have different revison for the part. Do you want to continue?” I’ve answerd yes after checking that they are both rev 1. All advices are welcome. Thank you. 

Hi,  I just notice that in  Parts Master,  there is an attribute called “Allow Sub Lot”. and in “Part Lot Batch” screen, there is a “Sub Lot” Tab.But is there anyone know how a “Sub Lot” be generated? I tried split a shop order ;  partially receive a purchse order but the there is No sub-lot generated. is there any doc regarding this?   

When we are using the comprehensive split function in shop order to split shop orders in the middle of the production process. Is it possible for the “Split Catch Qty” to be automatically fetched since it takes a considerable time to manually enter the “Split Catch Qty” to the material lines. Is this the expected functionality of the application or are we able to make it fetch the catch quantities automatically?
