Hi,kindly is there any SOP (standard operation procedures) for IFS manufacturing. Thank you.Bilal DrayiMedical & Pharmaceuticals Services Company

When adding a new component to the Shop Order Materials tab how is the Configuration Id populated/updated.  Can anyone advise which call is made to populate this field when adding a new line.   Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

At our production site we need to pack parts before the leave production. Therefore, I would like to add a non-consumed part to the structure which holds a cost of 15, - euro to add cost for packing. When I recalculate the structure in cost set 5 I do see the part with its cost in structure multilevel tab but no costs are added to the level sales cost. In which way can I add these costs? 

Hi We are using Apps 10 and MRP to schedule our shop order operations. We have a contract that has a constant demand every month of 16 units, the product has a 15.5 day variable lead time to manufacture and we backward schedule.When MRP schedules our operations backwards from the customer order line want date (end of each month), is plans to start manufacturing in the second week of each month.is there a way we can get system to plan to build 4 unit per week every week to steady the flow of supply ? regards Jamie 

Hi All, There is a requirement to create GTIN-14 for 3 package types DFP, TFP and PALL. For each SKU the pcs stored in each package type can be different.e.g.SKU 1 → DFP = 3 pcs, TFP = 39 pcs, and PALL = 1248 pcsSKU 2 → DFP = 5pcs, TFP = 96pcs, and PALL = 2592 pcs As a result there will be 100+ DFP, 1000+ TFP and 1000+ PALL variations for different SKUs.Creating an Input UoM Group for each SKU and using the the Input UoM Conv Factor to indicate the different combinations, and finally using that to generate GTIN-14 is an option. But this approach will take too long done manually. Is there a better way to do this - migration jobs etc. ?  Thanks!

Hello, A purchased part we use in all of our manufacturing structures is experiencing supply constraints. However, we are able to replace it at 1:1 with a blend of two different components. I am exploring defining this blend as a blow-through sub-assembly.In a test environment, I was able to successfully create alternate structures and shop orders for the parent part with the blow-through sub assembly. I was unable to replace the component with the sub-assembly on shop orders where the parent part was using the default structure. The blow-through part is defined as an alternate part to the purchased component.I am trying to avoid creating alternate structures for each and every product that uses the component, as we anticipate the supply issue to be temporary. Is it possible to define the blow-through sub-assembly as an alternate to the original component? Thanks!

Hi can anyone explain the difference between shop order total standard cost, shop order total estimate cost and shop order total actual cost?when reviewing the data they are all different and don't understand what data it is pulling from.regardsJamie 

Hi i am using Apps 10 and have put a 1 day shop order gap on an inventory part so MRP would schedule only 1 shop order requisition each day. (below)As you can see from the image below it is still scheduling 4 different shop orders to start on the same day at the same time which is not possible for us to achieve.  When I go into the actual shop order i can see the Earliest start date on all for shop orders have a 1 day gap between them but all have the same finish date. We use backwards scheduling so I don't think MRP looks at the earliest start date?

Apps10, UPD12.When manually performing ‘Calculate Work Center Resource Capacity’ or ‘Calculate Labor Capacity for Manufacturing’, the value for Calculation to Date defaults to 180 days from system date.Is it possible to change this default of 180 days?I know this can be established if I were to configure this as a scheduled task.

when a new part is created and an existing subassembly is used my customer would like the cost not to be updated on the existing subassembly since this would effect the cost of the other parts using the same subassembly.Anyone that have ideas on how to solve this issue?Customer is currently running apps 8 but is in the progress of upgrading to apps 10. The same behavior of the system has been observed in both versions.

Hi, Community,some suppliers they never post the label outside the package, hence, sometimes, we have to register arrival to Arrival location, then we open the package and scan the serials.  we are trying to utilizing the REGISTER_ARRIVALS → Detail TAB → RECEIVE_SERIALS_TO_ARRIVAL. We checked this box, and we wish system could bypass the serial no scanning even the part is a serial tracking part. but it doesn’t work, system still ask for serial no when we are doing register arrivals. how to better understand this RECEIVE_SERIALS_TO_ARRIVAL? how to utilize it?  need your expertise. Thank you. 

Hi We have an issue when Shop Order has been Parked then Released and then when trying to Unreserve material there is an error message:  What could be a reason for that? Is it kind of bug?We have IFS APP10 Upd3Thank you in advance,/Wiktor

I am trying to report a shipping pick list as complete using the api’s in Aurena. When I report it as complete in aurena and look at the Network debug console I see that there are 3 steps it takes to report the pick as complete. I highlighted them in red in the picture below. The 1st and 2nd calls to api’s FndTempLobs and ClobData work fine but when I try to call PickSelected I get a status 500 Internal Server Error. Are these the correct api’s to use for this purpose or am I doing something wrong?The API Explorer in aurena shows a different api call but it shows no information for it. Is it because it is not available yet?  Thanks for you help with this.

We want to be able to default the supply code for a configurable part to “Invent Order”. The system won’t allow it. Does anyone have a work around or suggestions for how to accomplish this?

We are using Apps10 UPD9 and are starting to work with KanBan.  We did a kanban supplier receipt and we needed to receive with a lot/batch number.  Is this possible?Thanks, Elaine

We are researching the manual pegging option for pegging shop orders to customer order lines. Does anyone have any feedback regarding the benefits vs. the issues/limitations of using this feature?

Is there a way to disconnect a work order and customer order if postings from the work order were transferred to the customer order as order lines?

We would like to give Project Teams access to specific sub-projects as standard when we create any new project. If you click the ‘Access to New Projects’ box on the Project Teams form, for a specific team, this adds them to the Define Team Access page of the New Project Wizard. However, this gives them access to all sub-projects within the project. We would like that certain teams only have access to a few of the sub-projects within a project, without having to go into each sub-project and grant them access every time. We tried creating a template project with the correct access and always copying from that template, however the specific team access does not copy over. Any thoughts would be welcomed.

Hi,A customer having standard costing changed over to Weighted Average and now shop order closing is having a slowness. Is there a patch or anything for this performance issue? Kindly advise.The below error is coming when trying to close“"The update could not be performed since the Shop Order record is currently locked. Please retry operation."  

Hi,I have 2 questions for you.1, I want to transfer an purchased inventory part from Warehouse location to a Production location but in doing so once the inventory part arrives into the production location the inventory qty and value is zero i.e. consumed at the point of transfer? 2, Following the above question the next stage would be to make an inventory part and book into stock (receive). Is there a method / set upof being able to book a newly formed inventory part into stock without any consumption of materials?

HiIn a scenario where we are purchasing lot/batch controlled parts for our manufacturing processes we want to have a high-level report per lot/batch.The report needs to provide an overview of a given lot/batch or several lot/batches for customs authorities. In essence the report must tell what quantity of the lot/batch do we havein inventory  in inventory as a  component in a manufactured part (at any level of the structure of the manufactured part in inventory) in WIP (that is when 1. the lot/batch itself or  2. a part containing the lot/batch as a component is issued to a Shop Order where the product is not yet finished) Issued to customer through Customer Order or ProjectI’m aware of the lot-batch master but finds that this provides a way to find the non-aggregated details.Hope someone can help.BR Kristian

Hi Everyone, I have an end user request for Return Completed RMA Lines to be tracked to the point they have been returned to stock in IFS or scrapped etc. In terms of the RMA process - return completed for us on the line is to show the product has been returned to us. We were looking to see if we can track this to see the point in which the product is returned to stock (if able to do so). The closest I have got to is looking at Inventory Transaction History per Part for the part number and date and see what the transaction is that follows the RMA to see if the product has been returned to stock or scrapped etc. This isn’t the best approach as we cannot be sure that another transaction against the part will happen between the RMA and the part transaction we are interested in.Has anyone else encountered a similar scenario and if so what approach was best to take?I was thinking of using one of the existing fields when booking the RMA into a location t

 Hi tried to create a Kanban circuit but I was unable to save the circuit due to a an error message.We set the supply to location to a out bound location, Floor stock group within a work centre and replenish from location within stores which a picking group.  Does anyone know what this message means or what I am doing wrong?RegardsJamie 

I know how to copy quotation lines to use in another sales quote.  My question is how can we ‘hold onto’ the Description?  When I save I lose that information and need to recreate the wheel so to speak.  Don’t know much about computers so please answer in the least techy way possible. :)
