Business Scenario: If an employee is allocated to the project resources with an incorrect resource ID, the user is required to delete the entire line and add a new line with the correct resource ID for the same employee. Previous application versions have LOV functionality enabled to select the correct ‘Resource ID’, but this functionality is disabled in IFS APP10.Refer below example; Navigate to ‘Employee Allocation’ in Project Navigator. Add an employee (who is connected to multiple Resource IDs) under employee allocation.After saving this record, the LOV function to change the ‘Resource ID’ is disabled.  This functionality is available in previous versions of IFS Applications. Are there any possibilities to enable this LOV functionality or is there any specific reason to remove this functionality in IFS APP10?

Hi, I am trying to find a way for splitting a repair shop order generated for a repair line but I am not able to do it. Also, it would be an alternative solution to manual peg a repair shop order to a CRO Repair line but i can't do it either. Could you help me, please? Any suggestion?Thanks in advance!

Can someone explain to me how the cost of a part gets divided if we chose ‘Split Cost’? I am trying to receive into inventory a part that was found during counting.   Help says ‘The total cost will be split up into cost detail lines in accordance with the settings in IFS/Costing.’  - if you can explain with breakdown of the cost, that’ll help

Hi all,Frequently we have to make a tool used for manufacturing a part.We create the tool in IFS and connect it to a routing.But how do we handle that the tool must be manufactured before we can release the shop order for the part?      

Hello,When an end user uses the Count per Inventory Part screen to count in an inventory part for the 1st time, the define cost structure screen pops up upon saving of the record.You are then required to select the cost bucket (e.g. average purchase price) and cost/unit value. Once you click OK, where does the cost/unit value get written to within IFS?We want to make this field visible to users on the count result per inventory part screen via a custom field to aid the users. I have turned on debug during this process, and it appears to write to temporary_part_cost_detail_tab table. However we are not sure if there a task which needs to be run to move it to the final screen or what is the correct process?Please can you provide guidanceNote: We are using IFS Apps 8.RegardsShaun

Looking for methods anyone has used to handle the following:Apps10 update10Manufacturing a serial-tracked, lot-tracked, multi-level tracked part through (4) operations. Lot size = 5, manufacturing serials 1-5.Site is set to auto-build the tracked structures.All component material is issued, all of which is serial and lot-tracked also.At op #2, I want to scrap serial #1.After performing a scrap for a quantity of (1) (cannot designate the serial I am scrapping, i.e., not going to receive), I delete serial #1 from the list of reserved serials, which alters the relations in the as-built structures.What has been your experience in best practice for getting the as-builts correct after scrapping a serial part? Do not auto-build ahead of time? Wait until receipt to build them and alter them?

Hi All, Hopefully this is an easy fix for someone : I’ve created a metric on IFS using Element Designer which I want to show me the total value of stock in a specific location.  The issue I have is that it’s counting everything as single items (inventory value) instead of showing the full cost if there are multiple items (Total inventory value).  When creating the metric I couldn’t see any options to count from the Total Inventory Value column. Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this please ? Thankyou 

Does anyone know how to connect an RMA to a project when the RMA is not started from the Customer Order? There doesn’t appear to be an RMB at the header or the line level to connect to a project or do a pre-posting. 

We have some serial parts with an Ownership Type of Customer Owned. We want to change the Ownership Type to Company Owned. Following are the steps we used to change the Ownership Type. The system requires the Customer (aka. Owner) to be connected to a Supplier before allowing the Ownership to be changed. Is there an alternative way to change the Ownership Type without having to connect customers to suppliers and have purchase orders created?STEPSConnect the customers (aka. part owners) to suppliers Use Inventory Parts In Stock to get a list of the parts to be updated Right click on the part lines and select Ownership Transfer > Transfer Ownership to Company Enter a purchase price in the “Transfer Ownership Company” pop up window and click on the button OK The system automatically creates a purchase order for the amount of the purchase price entered

Our org is trying to enable SSO in App 9  - Our existing FND user string is user Initials and Employee ID - but the mapping for these areas is not supported in the AD attributes when mapping the fields in the Active Directory user integration Config screen. What’s the best way to enable SSO and retain the existing FNDUSER string?  All other attempts so far have created duplicate user / Person.  I have managed to get to a point of using another AD field that is supported to hold the FNDuser and map to it - but the user still can’t log in - aside from selecting “connect with your current windows credentials” in the IFS app login screen is there anything else that needs to be switched on? (Also not really the cleanest way to do it either)

Hello. What license does Employee A need to log in to IFS and use "Shop Floor Reporting"?・ Only "Shop Floor Reporting LTU"?・ "Shop Floor Reporting LTU" + "full user's license"Prerequisites・ Use of IFS Cloud 2021・ Employee A uses only "Shop Floor Reporting"

When I manually run Transfer Project Cost Accounting Transactions, I am able to set a start date, and end date, and a voucher date.However if I attempt to schedule that job, I don’t have those same three fields as parameters.  Instead I have parameters for “Execution Offset” and “Voucher Date Offset”.  Those two fields default to zero.  Can someone tell me how those two parameters work relative to start date, end date and voucher date?I would like some logic where I run the job nightly and transfer the last x months worth of transactions and post them to the most current date in the most current open fiscal period. Note - this is using Apps 10, UPD8. 

Hello. We are using the Ifs 9 maintenance module. In the fault response, we get this error when the object Id selection is forgotten while making the material. Unfortunately, we cannot intervene in the fault record. Is there a solution?

What causes the following error message? How do we prevent receiving it? We receive this message when there is only one person updating the record. Never when there is more than one user editing it at the same time.

Does any one know how to find a list of users assigned to a specific API?  I would like to see all the users who can create a new shop order( shop_ord_api.new_)

Hi All,is there anyone who has (practical) experience with the functionality "Copy Project Deliverables to Equipment" (with some additional descriptions, recommendations, notes, etc.)?Of course, I have read the description of the process in the IFS help (F1), but I have still a few questions about this standard functionality:Can I run copy of equipment several times (for identical item no), or it is just a one-way operation/process? E.g.: When deleting already created equipment structure (record) or when need to add a tag (additionaly)? Can I somehow copy the equipment structure gradually when the amout of item no (qty) is bigger than 1 or is it necessary to complete the production of all the pieces and only after that start copying? If the dialog window "Copy Deliverables Structure to Equipment" appears, there are two combo boxes present, in which case is the "Copy Structure as" combo box active?*Dialog window - Mentioned combo boxes.It also happens to me that I had an item (item_no)

Hello,Customers are experiencing performance degradation within the MRO Interim Order structure screen, specially with the Automatic Disassembly RMB option.Is there a solution available to improve the performance of this functionality?

In IFS Apps 10 Update 11 Aurena, we have found the following question/issue on the Product Structure screen (Engineering > Structure > Product Structure > Product Structure)When we minimize the record selector tile view by clicking the << button, there is no alternative method to select records (i.e. the dropdown menu which is usually shown across the top of the screen is missing).
