We are interfacing Bill of Materials from CAD / SolidWorks to IFS Engineering Structures by using CADlink. However, for components expressed in for example Length instead of Pieces, both CAD/SolidWorks and CADlink have different fields to differentiate between Quantity and Length. Where IFS's Engineering / Product Structures only use the field Quantity per Assembly (in combination with the Unit of Measure).I understood that in CADlink, the quantity is based on the quantity of the component in the 3d model / drawing. And therefore can not be changed in CADLink. Therewith it seems to interface the quantity, while actually in IFS we would need the Length. Does anyone recognize this issue, and knows how this was resolved in your situation? Thanks in advance!

HI All, I and have found some differences between IEE and Aurena Configurator screens, specifically on the dialog box that pops up when you save a configuration that is a match to an existing standard part based on the Configuration. In IEE there is a dialog box That appears telling you there is an existing standard product. Unfortunately, in Aurena (Cloud too) this dialog box does not appear.  Has this Dialog been removed in Aurena/Cloud or perhaps the dialog removed? :In AurenaOn Click Apply: no dialog, POP up in corner or button or indication there is a match to a standard part. Additionally there is now the “Create Standard part from Cfg button (which is also a RMB function in IEE) but it’s misleading as it would indicate to the sales rep a standard part does not exist for the CFG ID. Which is does. Note the config ID matched to an existing Config ID properly and is updated for the line, there is just no indication of a standard part until you go back to the customer order line and

Good Morning,In walking through an older exercise for CTO Setup of a manufactured chair, getting error "All combination factors must be unique" when attempting to use the same factor type (Characteristic Value) and its associated factor value twice, in order to create a combination table using the same for ranges and associated return values. The help area explicitly states this should be possible, but doesn't seem to be the case, the way I'm doing it anyhow. Screenshots:Desired end game:Thanksjt

If we schedule a “Create pick list for shop orders” when we want to pick the materials as per operation start date; like few days before operation start date, due to the constrained stock. The reservation is going to performed on the entire shop order instead of operation material only if I put shop order start date as the Days before start date instead of operation start date in the ‘Shop Order Auto Process Type’, Process Event ‘Reserve Shop Order’ before setting up the “picking, reservation”.Is there any workaround?Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Hello everyone.  I have been slowly getting Lobbys created for the maintenance guy.  I am trying to put the Company Logo on the back ground of the Lobby.  Having mixed results. When i copy the URL in the box and lock the lobby back it produces the picture  but it is multiplied and shows the picture in different layouts.  I have tried modifying the URL, Saving  the Logo in different formats yet it continues to do the same thing or nothing at all.  Here is a example of what i am seeing   And here is the URL i am using.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I asked this question on the main group  and i got a answer but don’t understand where they are wanting me to look.

Hi,I hope someone can help.I’ve created a SQL Expression in Crystal Reports to select the BLOB field (FILE_DATA column) from the edm_file_storage view, however, when I include the field and refresh the report, Crystal crashes. I changed the statement to select a different column within the view and the report ran fine.Could anyone suggest why Crystal would crash when selecting in the ‘BLOB’ field, from the FILE_DATA column?

Community, I have a part is not HU controlled in inventory, inventory UOM is PCS. when parts arrived from supplier, I will let IFS to pack it as 100PCS/pack, and do the putaway. I would like system to perform like what it is dealing with HU, i.e. limit the parts per bin, e.g. 100PCS/Bin, but it looks to me, it is hard to handle it in this way without HU. Just want to borrow your mind. Thank you.

How to add custom field "Supplier" in Lot batch master

Hi,My current placement has a library of images associated to parts. It was initially thought all images were to be .jpeg which would be easy enough to insert into a Crystal report using the “(BLOB)” field. However, it has now been decided that all part images will be .pdf file format. Is it possible to attached a .pdf file and view as per a .jpeg in a Crystal report?Regards,Ben

I am working with a client with a multi-site setup.  They would like to copy parts from their main manufacturing site to their distribution sites in an ad-hoc manner.   They would like to use the Copy Part function as a starting point.  When doing so, however, to the inventory part in the “To” site is set to revision 1.  Is there a way to transfer over the revision history from the “From” record to the “To” record automatically?  If not corrected manually, the intersite distribution falls apart due to the revision level mis-match. I appreciate any help you could provide.

In IFS Apps 10 Update 11 Aurena, we have found the following issue on the Product Structure screen (Engineering > Structure > Product Structure > Product Structure) (Issue # 2)When we click on the magnifying glass to open the search tool and perform a search, a small yellow circle is shown next to the magnifying glass icon. This is intended to show the quantity of records found matching the specified search criteria, but it shows the wrong number. (e.g., in an environment we entered "500-Z" in the part field (i.e. we searched for structures for part numbers starting with 500-Z). This search returned 2 results (visible in the tail record selector) but the number next to the magnifying glass shows 1.
