Hello All, I’m hoping there is somewhere in IFS to track this. It was recently discovered that an Availability Control ID was applied to a large group of parts in an inventory location. I have not found a place in IFS where you can view when and who applied the ID. I’ve checked Inventory Transaction History, but I do not see the transaction there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi,We are a company that is producing different plastic profiles. For planning we use APB. As we may produce several items that have the same shape (tool) but different lengths we want to put them together and reduce set up time between shop orders. We were told that we can use set up matrix and sequencing. During test it worked fine, unfortunately, after setting this up for all our tools, it created millions of combinations and APB crashed. Is anyone else also having the same requirement? If so – how do You handle that? Do You use APB or perhaps other planning tool? I would be grateful for any suggestions and ideas 😊Best regards,Bernadeta

Hi, We are currently on IFS Aurena app. I noticed that If I create shop order manually then IFS shows me ‘Create manufacturing analysis’ option to register control plan for particular operation on shop order but if my shop order gets created from DOP then ’Create manufacturing Analysis’ option gets disappeared from operations line menu .  What should I do inorder to register the manufacturing analysis if the ‘Create Manufacturing analysis’ option is not there ? It doesn’t allow me to receive the shop order without doing that. Please help. 

Is there a way to move multiple serialized parts to a common inventory location in apps 9 or do they need be moved one by one?

GDSN (Global Data Synchronisation Network) from GS1 can be used by Medical Device Manufacturers to upload their product data to make it accessible to for instance EUDAMED. I am looking for companies who have actually implemented a connection (either by file upload or machine-to-machine interface). If so, I would be very happy to get in touch to learn how this connection has been setup.

Hi, all of a sudden we have a printer that is printing double sided.  The 2-sided option within the device settings is unchecked.  The printing default settings and preferences are set to 1 sided as well.  Printing form other applications to this printer are 1 sided so it is something happening in IFS.  Printing to other printers by the same user results in the proper 1 sided.  We are using IFS 9.  Thank you for any assistance with this printer!!

Hello all,Any suggestions how to import Primavera P6 (.xer) file into IFS. Thanks.

I am looking to build a single query statement that pulls back all parts that are part of a given Part Structure.  If I look at the Tree view in Engineering Part Navigator it shows all parts that are part of the system.  I need the ability to query the database for all parts that belong to this tree.  If someone out there has done this can you please share.  Another way to look at it would be I want everything on the Multilevel tab.  Although the tab shows all part records the view it is based on does not (ENG_PART_STRUCTURE_EXT). Any help would be appricated.

Hello everyone.  I’d like to know if anyone does the following or if it’s even possible. We use standard costing.  Site A manufactures a part that has material, labor and OH cost bucket IDs.  The part is then transferred to Site B.  Currently we use the P-150 cost template to set the standard cost in Site B to be the same as the standard cost in Site A.  The problem is that the cost in Site B is only associated with cost bucket ID 510.  I’d like the material, labor and OH costs from Site A to be the same in Site B.  Is this possible?  Thanks!

Hi, How do we set the status “Scrapped” on Design Objects? When we try to do that, we get the message “This state change is not allowed when the operational status is In Operation”.And the Operational Status seems to be read-only. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, I am currently looking into a way to create an Event Action to notify a user via Streams that a Routing is approaching a Phase Out Date. I’m not quite sure how to do this, as there does not appear to be a way to trigger the the Event. The Phase Out Date would already have the date and it would not be updating, simply lapsing. In the screen shot below, Ideally a Streams notice could be triggered to send 7 days prior to 3/31/2021. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

We have decided to implement price lists function in IFS.  Just wondering if there is a document that lists some best practices to be followed and some do’s and don’ts. Currently we use product family and product group 1 to categorize the products.Engineering/PDM..product number, product type is not used.I am providing this additional information that may or may not be of help to group the products and develop some hierarchy for search, sort down the road.

When we search on screen  the result data can be changes and saved there only.Is this possible ?
