Hi, I’ve been experimenting with 'Manual Pegging of Shop Order Material Line'. I’ve grasped the basic mechanics, which is to search for a part and assign it (by allocating the full qty. ‘available’ to the level above (selecting the relevant order no).   The only discernible change is when I check ‘Inventory Part Availability’ the ‘Pegged’ column is whatever qty. you assigned (both for the supply and demand elements). Are there other benefits besides this? I hope there is, otherwise, you wonder what the point of this somewhat manual practice is.   Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.   Many thanks, Jay

Hello Support Team, is it possible to deliver “Customer owned”  material to back its client. ? we are using IFS9.    Regards, 

We use the Project Transaction, Create Correction Transaction to make project time/dollar corrections in Apps9.  I cannot find anywhere in IFS that shows the date a correction was made.  Everything references the original date of the time transaction.  Is anyone familiar with a field that shows the date a correction was made?  Thank you.

Hi, My customer have a parts that 20% from purchusing & 80% from manufacture . purchusing lead time is 40 days. manufacture lead time is 10 days. While , for IFS ,seems only 1 type lead time can be set: either purchusing lean-time or manufacture lead-time,do we have any workwround for this? esp for MRP Explosion,  if the parent parts demands is 100 pcs on 8/30.for this parts, they want 20 Pur Resq on 7/20   80 Shop Resq  on 8/20can this be accomplish by IFS?   

Hi, Is it possible for this field to pick up the name when information is entered into this field rather than just the customer number?  

The setting for the Site on Shop Orders for the site is set to Auto Close.  When we Create a Shop Order from the CRO line it defaults to Manually Close.  Is there a different setting for CRO?

Does IFS consider material OH costs when calculating the cost of a part in Product Estimate (Estimate Bid Management)? The part uses P-110 purchasing cost template which includes a cost element of 10% estimated material cost as the OH.

I want to know the date when an operation is actually finished, not planned to be finished.What I find to be most accurate was the latest entry of the Date applied below.Created a custom field on Shop_order_operations_CFV that works but it is too slow. select Date_applied from OPER_AND_IND_HIST_UIV HIST, SHOP_ORDER_OPERATION_JOIN SOOJwhere HIST.Order_no=SOOJ.ORDER_NO--'13870'and HIST.Operation_no=SOOJ.operation_no--'20'And HIST.Release_no=SOOJ.release_no--'*'And HIST.Sequence_no =SOOJ.Release_no--'*'And SOOJ.objkey=:objkeyOrder by Date_applied descFetch First 1 rows only Works, but it is to slow to be used in many applications. Is there any available function or field I do not know about? @Björn H

Is there a way to limit a particular user’s access to only nominated project/s in IFS? I know there is Project Access setting on Projects - but from my understanding, this works in reverse - i.e. it is more related to limiting specific projects to a defined group of users. We don’t currently use Project Access - i.e. all projects are accessible  by any user that has Project Management permission set. It appears switching it on would involve a lot of maintenance, as we’d have to list all users as having access to all projects, whereas we just want to exclude one user from having access to all but specified project/s? IAny thoughts?

Hi,We have a problem when doing ECR object connection. please refer to the attached screen shot, which I captured in a demo environment. you can see full list of object category available there. but in our PROD, I can only see one object category which is ‘Engineering Part Revision’.Our PROD is upgraded from APP8 years ago.Does any one has a clue, this is due to settings or permission issue? Thank you.Ron

Hi Using App’s 10 I am trying to auto receive inventory parts into a predefined line side location ready for assembly once the operator has closed and approved the last operation. I have been told the best way to achieve this is by using work centre inbound and out bond location.can anyone explain how i should use the work centre in and outbound location for the below example?ExampleI have 3 sub assemblies which make up one finished part, all sub assemblies are built in a different work centre but need to go the same line side location so they are available to be used in the top level final assembly. Once the final assembly has been processed in WC4 the finished part is moved to dispatch for delivery.  does the OUTBOUND location on WC1, WC2 and WC3 need to be the same as the INBOUND location

Hello, does anyone know if you can create a document revision on a batch record and have it ‘follow’ that batch. For example, if i was to attach a certificate to a certain part in the Inventory Part In stock screen I would like to be able to view that certificate from the Material Transaction History on the Shop order.

Hi, There are many things that could be valuable from an analysis perspective if we in a simple way could combine data from one operation with the previous operation and find the prevoius one even if there are parallell operations(then we should find the one that has to be done before).Has anyone a suggestion for that?One application that we are looking at:Adjusted OTD (instead of planned and actual start/finished, look at previous operations actual finish date + transport+setup). You cannot be on time if the previous operation is late, but you can still do your part at promised lead time.

I created a custom page and lobby elements on a column CF$_DOC_RESP_PERS and the count of those values in the element as a list. So the lobby page shows the resposible person and their count as a list If i click on the person it should take me to the custom page where other details about that person are available. In the lobby element i have given as per the IFS documentation  page/Csrmaster/csrmasterpage?$filter=cf$_doc_resp_pers  eq $[cf$_doc_resp_pers]But the filtering is not working. The columns are custom fields. Please guide me Thanks  

I am wondering where could I see in IFS how much '$' each Coordinator are allow to authorize per Purchase Order?

Test Steps:Go to  Engineering > PDM > Change management > Change OrderSearch for any CO with Pending Approvals (In attachment tab you can see approval process: Attachment below). To check Further Go to Engineering > PDM > ApprovalsAnd search for not approved line using search conditions ( CO & Group ID: Attachment below). Now Go to previous CO window and try to delete the CO with pending approvals, it is possible even with pending dependencies. This behavior is not acceptable.  In my opinion system should show an error message that CO cant be deleted because dependencies

Hi,Here comes the scenario we think might not be able to be addressed by APP10. we need to borrow your minds.We have very limited shop floor stock, hence we would like the materials picked as per operation start date, e.g. 3 days before operation start date. unfortunately, this is not feasible in the schedule job ‘Create pick list for shop orders’.then, we are thinking of the prior step of picking, reservation. we would like to use ‘Shop Order Auto Process Type’, Process Event ‘Reserve Shop Order’.so, question here, ‘Days Before Start Date’,  this date is shop order start date or operation start date?It looks to me it is a shop order start date, if that is the case, the reservation is going to performed on the whole shop order INSTEAD of operation material only. any suggestions? work around ways?Thank you.Ron  

I have spent lot's of time creating the custom page and configuring all the RMB options etc. I wish to know if I can export the pages (Similar to application package in IEE). I have seen  on PROJECTION COnfiguration an option to ADD to PACKAGE . Wish to know if all the work done on the custom page like lists/command groups RMB options etc all will be added to the package or not. Please guide me on this. We wish to deploy the application package on another environment

Is there a key / document / diagram that explains what all the symbols on the Part Eco Footprint screen in the Emission build-up tree view mean? For example, what does the circle with a line in the middle symbol on the Emission build-up tree view mean next to a part number?   

Hi, can we in IFS do an automated receive of a shop order, connected with a timer for example? Situation: We have one production line (A), which in some cases can be connected to another production line (B). Each machine has his own shop order, and produces his own products. The output of machine A, is the input of machine B (in some cases)If the machines are connected, it would be convenient to to ‘auto receive’ the products from machine A, so we can backflush them with machine B. Best regards

Hello Community,We are using IFS apps 8.Current scenario:Shop orders are getting created by respective departments from Raw material to Finished Goods.I need to restrict the access of shop orders for those parts which do not belong to the specific department.Can some one provide me the trigger code. ReagrdsDeepak 

When saving Purchase order, is it possible to get a message when quantity in one orderline is greater than 1.000.000 or amount over 10.000.000, information message like “check orderlines, you have an unreasonable quantity/amount” or can you format field quantity, so you can't register a value more than 10 numbers.I see that you can set Min Order Qty in Supplier for Purchase Part window, but not maximum?To do formatting by high lightening row or field, isn't good enough.

We have a use case for the input uom group using parameters and formula. I case you are selling wood board, the idea is to use length and width as parameter to calculate the surface (M2) .I have defined the item in inventory / sales uom : M2. and a input uom group.in the input uom group , make the conversion between PCS and M2 using 2 parameters to enter on customer order line : width and length. on the CO : use the input uom and input qty  : i.e 10 PCS the system popup the imput parameter ,  i.e 2.4 m Length and 0.5 width. Calculation ==> 1.2 m2  when updating the CO line, we get : input uom PCS , input qty  1.2 (change from initial entry of 10 pcs) why ?? sales uom M2 , sales qty  1.2  do not consider the initial input qty of 10  expected result : input uom PCS , qty 10 (should remain unchanged)sales uom M2, sales qty 12  (1.2 x 10) thanks for your help 

Hi, Does anyone know, whether scanner is supported to change the tracking structure in Shop Floor Workbench, tab Tracked Structure.IFS standard in APP10, RMB function support user to remove the current tracked structure, and if it is a touch screen, you could drag and drop the serialized part under the parent part, and rebuild the tracked structure. Instead of reading serials in visual, does system support scan the parent part, then the component serial no, then tracked structure is established immediately.Thank you.Ron

Hi, Wondering how to have below step managed in IFS APP10.Material picked for shop orders needs to be fetched from warehouse location to shop floor stock location. they have to be moved by truck. Now comes the question, how to tell system to create a transport task to complete this movement?  or other workaround we could be able to have this kind of jobs manifested in the system. thank you.ZR
