We have created dummy location called “Damaged” in one site and moved some damaged stock to that location and user doesn’t want to show that quantity as available stock in customer order. Can you advice how to achieve this ?

Add or modify a button function on Shop Floor Workbench

Is it possible to modify what the buttons do on Shop Floor Workbench? Or Add buttons? For example, we would like to change what the Report Tool button does. Instead of opening a Report, we’d like it to open the Create Fault Report Window. If that is not possible, could we add a custom button and name it Create Fault Report and have it link to the Create Fault Report window?

Shop Order Proposed location

We recently migrated from Apps 9 update 8 to Apps 9 Update 16. We have since been experiencing a problem with how our Shop Orders select a “Proposed Location” when entering the shop order. In order to troubleshoot this issue, does anyone know how the proposed location is supposed to be populated upon shop order creation? The IFS basic help does not address this functionality very well. Thanks!

Unit of Measure - Inventory Part Record

Hello all. Is there anyway to change the unit of measure setup for an inventory part record? Over the years when changes have happened to a part or simple data entry issues, this has come up and we have not found a good solution. Thanks, Rich

Work Center - How to Render Obsolete

Hi guys, Is there a way our site can render a previously used work center obsolete? I don’t believe it can be deleted, since now closed works orders were actioned at said resource, so deleting it leaves an incomplete historical record. I need a way to raise an error message (if not purely prevent) us from assigning work to that loading cell. Does IFS have this functionality i.e. equivalent to turning a work center off-line or inactive? if so, what window is this? Many thanks, Jay

Is it possible to have an event firing that then runs a quick report??

We have an issue with stock availibility The MRP system works well, creating new shop orders when customers place an order giving an availibility date that is generally correct. However, we have an issue if the products fail testing. The customer orders cannot be honoured and its quite a task to undo and warn the customer. We have created a quick report which shows customer orders affected when shop order dates are changed. Now we would like an event which fires when dates are changed on the shop order, it runs the quick report and emails it to users. Is it possible for an event to run a quick report and email out?

S&OP eLearning Apps9

Hi folks, I’ve found .ppts for Apps10 S&OP (which has a ton of features I covet, but we’re not in a place right now to upgrade), but I’ve not found any eLearning for the screen in Apps9. I can obviously read the help screens, but they’re failry bare bones. What am I missing? I’m missing the step-by-step data reqs for S&OP as they pertain to IFS. I realize we need the demand plan (we use demand forecaster client) but I’m unclear of all the screens of necessary data to use the inborn dashboard.

By-product or scrap

During our manufacturing process, we produce scrap. This is anticipated, as it is a result of stamping processes on our shop floor. A part will be stamped out, and the metal skeleton is collected and then sold to a metal scrapping facility. We have been setting this up as a by-product for each type of metal (stainless, copper, etc.). The issue we are running into is that our operators have to manually receive all by-product on the shop order. Is there a way to automatically receive by-product without having an operator need to report it during the Shop Order? Should by-product even be used for this scenario? I believe we needed to use by-product for the financial transaction of selling the scrap material: PN: 123456 produced 10,000 lb of scrap as a result of the mfg process, and it was sold to company XYZ for $6,000.

Procurement of packing materials

Hi, I have created a Packing Instruction in terms of Pallets and Cartons that can automatically create a packing structure to ship a variable large qty of a part. The way it can create the packing structure is really neat. But does anyone know if there is a way for IFS to automatically procure the Pallets and Cartons (and any other packing materials) that would be needed for a Shipment. There doesn't seem to be a way of defining what’s needed in terms of Inventory Parts that would get picked up as a Demand in the system. I would like these to be ordered as and when required, in advance, so the packing structure for the Shipment could be created and the Pallets/Cartons ordered prior to actually packing the Parts. Unless I’m missing something it appears as if the actual packing materials are always assumed to be on hand in the warehouse. But I can’t believe that’s the case, knowing the capability of IFS. Thanks for your help!

MRP 'Original Due' and 'Planned Due'

Hi guys, In ‘Shop Order Requisitions’, there are two columns called ‘Original Due’ and ‘Planned Due’. This determine the ‘Need Dates’ for the works orders that are raised by accepting the requisitions in question. In turn, dictating to APB (our CBS engine) what to prioritize when a trade-off is required given resource limitations. How can those dates be changed? Namely, for SST items under planning method B/C. For demand released by a customer or projects that would involve editing the required date, performing MRP and alignment via MRP Action Proposals. How can we change the Orig. and PLD Due dates for SST items so they are called for now. thanks, jay

Combination Search in Aurena

Hi all, I would like to have some guidance over the development approach for the following layout in Aurena. I need to populate the details table on the basis of manually entering part no(s) . User may fill any of four part no. and check-uncheck checkboxes in header and then click on search. After clicking on search , these values should go only in where clause of detail table (as the part no. in header is not directly linked with detail table below) Do we have any such screen already available in Aurena? Thanks in anticipation

Which IFS Integration API's use / do not use Primavera API's

We used to use the IFS Integration module but stopped when we could not agree licensing for Integration or OPG with Oracle i.e. it was going to be too expensive for us. We are currently looking at writing a custom interface (probably using APEX) but need to avoid the Oracle Primavera API's. Rather than writing everything from scratch have you information on the IFS Integration API's : What can we / cannot use by way of the API's, which ones call Primavera API's and which ones wholly use IFS code OR do you call some Primavera API's from within your code, if so what do we need to avoid? I thought we might be able to call some of your code from say APEX to create a custom integration instead of starting from scratch. Any information you can provide would be gratefully received. I hope I have explained the issue sufficiently."

Project managers and expense sheets of their projects

The access to expense sheets is controlled by “Position – Access Setup” in IFS. This way, a project manager will be able or not to visualize the expense sheets connected to his/her project depending on the position of the employees. Customer would like that a project manager could have access to all the expense sheets that belonged to his/her own project. The only way knows to achieve this target is enabling all the project managers the access to all the positions. But, if define this way, all the project managers could be able to visualize every expense sheet of any employee in any project, even if they had not access to the project. Customer have tried to define a new “access attribute” adding as a column name a custom field, but it is not included in the value list. Also have tried to define as the “old value” in the “access attribute” a select sentence, but it is considered as an invalid value when try to save it.cannot use an event either because all want is to visualize, not to m

I have checked through the setup, nothing has changed - settings allow negative qty: Setup is exactly the same in our DEV environment and all working fine there. Any thoughts?

Aurena Shop Floor Workbench Shop Orders

I’m working in the Apps10 demo environment (both IEE and Aurena). I have set up Shop Floor Employees, assigned them to companies/sites and created Shop Orders for them to work on. I can see the Shop Orders in the workbench in IEE, but cannot see them in Aurena. I’ve attempted creating Filters and selecting ‘Filter By’ > Shop Order to select the SO individually, but that has not been successful either. Has anyone else seen this issue and can help explain the error in my setup? IEE vs. AurenaThanks!

Assign employee in Shop Floor Workbench

I'm trying to test this feature under Shop Floor Workbench but it is always greyed out. I've tried looking at Help and it implies you would RMB-Assign... but there must be some pre-requisites that aren't defined in the F1 Help. The AppOwner never sees this option so I don't think it is a security issue. There seems to be some link to Competency - which we do not have setup - but it doesn't say this is required to use it. Go to Shop Floor Workbench, Enter As an employee with SFW access, RMB on any operation but Assign Employee/Team to Operation is grey..

APB (Help!) Simple Aim - Complex Issue

Hi guys, This was posted a while back. A ton of people viewed it but gave no answer - despite me requiring one desperately! Since then I posted ‘more simple’ kinds of questions, and received a reply soon after. But, to be frank, that’s no good. Surely I should get some indication for the more complex stuff without recourse to a consultant? I’ve got a query about how to use APB. An example is apt here. Consider an MPS consisting of 2 items. Lets stipulate the structure for each is: Level 0 = end-item (GA), Level 1 = SA (x2), Level 2 = 4 piece parts & Level 3 = 10 piece parts. Let’s also imagine 0 overlap between recipes (thus no requisition to merge supply). The relevant ‘Priority Rule’ is ‘Earliest Possible Due Date’ (with all operations selected) since we’re looking to schedule both projects to finish asap, with no spare capacity gaps. 2 options arise at this stage. Either, schedule both project items (under the priority rule stated) in APB with a single executed run. Or, l

Purchase Order Printing (Operational Report)

I have created a Crystal Report version of the PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP Operational Report for Purchase Orders. However, on the Purchase Order line there is a field PROMISED_DELIVERY_DATE. We wish to print this field but it isn’t available in PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP. Is there a way of adding this field to the report? I initially tried creating a link to PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_PART but this invalidates the report and it fails. I know you cannot add custom fields to the PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP. Can you advise how I can achieve adding other field(s). Can I create a IAL and link this to the PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP?
