Hi, When you have a Customer Order Line and Sourcing DOP, you get Purchase Req for componets related to this demand if you have “Allow MRP Explosion for DOP Parts” set to true (and that Customer order Line is set to “Released for Mtrl Planning”).Purchase of LLIT can be done, so far so good.But when the Customer Order is released and the DOP Header is created, the demand for purchase parts is gone. This cause issues in purchasing and MRP Action Proposal/ Inventory Part Availability Exeptions shows that you have no demend. Then you create the DOP Structure, and the demand is back again.Is there some parameter I miss, as DOP Header is not seen as a demend or is it a way to automaticully create DOP Structure when the DOP Header is created?From an user perspective it’s easy to miss the step to create DOP Structure as soon as Customer Order is released and usualy this is done in two different departments in the organisation which

Anybody knows if there is a limitation in how many operations the can be connected to an opeartaion block?I get this error when connect 68 operations (67 works fine). Second question, You can start all operations in one block by Start Production, if a second labor shall support, you cannot join the production for all operations, join operation is disabled if select more that n record, any setting to allow join all operations in a block?  

What is the criteria to get load from DOP Order to be visible in visulized in 24R2. I have same site, part no, routing and in one DOP I get load and in unother I don’t get load. Both DOP Headers are ‘Unreleased’   

Will someone please explain to me the purpose of an Inventory Part Revision? Note: We do not use the engineering part functionality.

What am I missing here? For some reason I cannot grant Part catalog right to any Permission Set. IFS version is IFS 10 Update 25. I can see Part Catalog here in Database Objects  But it’s not here (is it supposed to be here under the Master Part to be available for grant). One user showed that he had Part Catalog under Master Part, but I cannot remember the submenu aymore, and it might have been dragged from other menu.

In shop order workbench what does it mean when 'Unregistered downtime' displays next to Manual filter by ?

Hi Community,Looks like “Shop Order By-Product” supply is ignored by MRP when Shop Order comes from DOP (configured).MRP is creating a supply proposal for later demand even though projected qty is enough (scr below).By-Product line was added manually to the Shop Order, “Include in MRP Supply” field is checked.If the same Part is added manually to the non-DOP Shop Order, it is visible to the MRP, supply proposal is not created.Any suggestions or opinions? Looks like a bug.Regards, Lukasz

Hi everyone,We’re currently preparing our migration from IFS Apps 9 to IFS Cloud and are looking for insights from others who have made this step — especially around the transition from Project Delivery to Project Deliverables.As most of you know, Apps 9 supports only Project Delivery Apps 10 includes both Delivery and Deliverables IFS Cloud supports only Deliverables There’s no direct migration path between Delivery and Deliverables — except by moving through Apps 10 and phasing out one while introducing the other.We would really appreciate hearing about your experiences: How did you approach the transition from Delivery to Deliverables? What lessons did you learn (in terms of setup, data migration, and ongoing operations)? Did you identify b

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 i

The problem arises when engineering part revisions need to be controlled across multiple sites, alongside Inventory Part Revisions….. Example revisions below. The flow involves several locations, where one site supplies products to another. The Planning Network MRP triggers the generation of a Distribution Order to facilitate the shipment of products between sites. The receiving site treats the incoming manufactured items as purchased raw materials. Therefore, upon release of MRP Planned Distribution Orders, a corresponding PO is created for the receiving site and customer order created at the sending site. A PO release from the receiving site, intended to receive today (11/3) will be created with Revision 3, Engineering Rev C referenced. However, the Customer Order does not reflect any requirement for revision control. The manufacturing site has quantity on hand from prior production of Revision 2, Engineering Rev B and will ship this inventory against the Customer Order. When atte

Hello, My client uses both DOP and MRP for his manufacturing.Configured parts are managed with DOP. Not configured manufactured parts & purchased parts are handled by MRP. Example :TOP PART - Configured - DOP→ COMPONENT1 - Purchased - MRP→ SUBPART - Manufactured/Not configured - MRP     → COMPONENT2 - Purchased - MRP With this, DOP will create a Shop order for TOP PART at DOP Release, and MRP will handle the creation of Purchase requisitions / Shop order requisitions should there be shortages. However, we discovered that when we create a DOP structure (DOP header in  status “Unreleased”), and then run the MRP at this moment, purchase requisitions will be created for shortages.This is dangerous because the structure of an unreleased DOP header can still evolve before being released is case of customizations of a product for example.→ Is there a way to make unreleased Dop

Hi All, In IFS Apps10 an error occurs when trying to modify Shop Floor Clockings of an operation because the resource assigned to the work center does not exist. IFS displays an error message stating that Resource PW21 does not exist for Work Center PW33. This is correct.However, the clocking was actually performed on Work Center PW21 and Resource PW21.When the error is debugged, it is identified that if the Clocking which is trying to modify starts on 9.00am 01/11/2025 and ends at 12.00pm 12/11/2025, the backend validation checks all clocking entries across the entire site within that time range. If any time is reported for a different Work Center than the one specified in the Shop Order Operation, for any shop order in the site, the system raises an error. Interestingly, the Workbench functionality in IFS allows changing the Work Center as well, which seems to contradict this validation behavior.Has any

Parent  - MP A (Manufactured), Component - PP A (Purchased)Both Parts are Lot TrackingInventory Valuation Method - Weighted AverageInventory Part Cost Level - Cost Per Lot BatchSteps Create a product structure for MP A with a quantity per assembly (QPA) of 1 pc of PP A. Receive inventory for PP A into cost bucket 110 at $2 per unit, quantity 10. (After issuing to the Shop Order, on-hand will become zero.) Create a Shop Order for MP A with a lot size of 10. Disable auto-close for this Shop Order. Perform Manual Material Issue for PP A to the Shop Order. Create the Lot/Batch. Receive the Shop Order and review the Shop Order Cost.

I am using Cloud 22-R2: I want the Proposed Location on a shop order to automatically pull from the Inventory Part’s Default Location rather than the standard default outbound location defined for the Work Center.i.e. multiple products are produced on a particular work center - 99% of which are required to output to the standard post production, pre-shipping location which is defined as the default outbound location on the work center.  However, there is one product produced on the same work center that I want to output to a different location - a location that has an availability control assigned to it.  i.e. I want to assign a particular Availability Control to a certain part every time it is receipted from a shop order - I thought I would use a unique location for this purpose.  I want to use standard functionality ideally, without the need for a CRIM.I know I can manually change the Proposed Location on the shop order or I can manually change the output location wh

Is it possible for engineers to work across multiple sites within the same company and, additionally across multiple companies.I have a requirement for engineers to carry out work orders in this regard and have visibility of engineering stocks across all relevant sites / companies.Appreciate the answer to this will likely be down to setup, that is currently what I am struggling with. We are currently on Apps8.Furthermore, are the any pitfalls with regards to this that I should be aware of?Thanks in advance.

Steps to recreate issue observed in Cloud 24R2: Identify a customer that has more than 25 Address IDs. Navigate to Customer > Address. Expand Address ID dropdown. Scroll to bottom of list and click Show More - repeat until the end of the list is reached Count the number of Address IDs from the full list.Expected result: All customer Address IDs are displayed in the list.Actual result: Some Address IDs are missing from the list. In my example, the customer has 34 distinct Address IDs in the database, but only 25 are visible in the list. Can anyone recreate this? The workaround for now is to open the filter panel and enter the customer number in the customer filter - then all addresses are loaded in the list.  

Is it possible to estimate when improvements to conditional formatting will be available in the IFS Cloud?The options for conditional formatting in the IFS Cloud are significantly more limited compared to APPS10.The number of available colors is considerably smaller. Only the background, not the text itself, can be formatted. Text styles (bold, italic) cannot be adjusted. The available operators are also significantly restricted. We particularly miss the ability to search for parts of labels (e.g., "~pipe" for "contains pipe"). We are currently unable to replicate all the formatting options used in APPS10.Conditional formatting is a valuable tool for ensuring readability and a quick overview of tables. We hope that the familiar functionality will soon be available in the IFS Cloud as well. Best regardsJakob

Hi guys,When adding components to the Consist Of Tab in the Engineering Part Navigator on IFS Cloud the Drawing Position No tab is mandatory and it’s always a “*”. What is the purpose of this Tab and is it possible to remove it if not in use OR set default “*” when adding a new component to the BOM.Thank youRegardsIna

Hi, Does anyone know the logic for IFS Apps 10 when running costing for one specific part status, how does IFS determin what parts to include in the run?In the background job it  will show x nr of top parts where detected.The number here is much larger then top parts with the specific part status. Thanks in advance!Anna 

Hi.We’re successfully created a custom note field on the Standard Operation page, with it being brought to other pages via expression/reference custom attributes as well. The field is called Cc Operation DefinitionWe’ve noticed the field only accounts for the data put into it when we use the “Reference” option with “Add Standard Operation” on the pages though, using “Copy” leaves the note field blank. In Shop Order, the assistant doesn’t give you the option to select between Copy or Reference, and the custom field appears blank: On the Routing page however, where the Add Standard Operation allows you to choose between Copy or Reference, choosing Reference populates the custom fi

We copied to cost set 1, had long list of items with the below warning!!**Part 00000 on Site 0000 has been manually removed from Inventory Part (Inventory_Part_Tab), but it still exists in Costing! Part is not copied.**Cost set one is matching cost set 2, and the part in live in INV parts. ??Thank you for your help in advance,

In the 24R2 documentation:The Update Processed Transactions section in the ‘About MCA’ page reads:“All inventory parts, no matter of inventory valuation method, will have their labor and operation transactions costs adjusted from this command.”The Update Processed Transactions activity in 5.5.9.1 Manufacturing Cost Allocation reads:“The transactions of only inventory parts that are having Weighted Average setting in the inventory valuation method of the Inventory Part page will be updated from this update processed transactions command.”EDIT: I figured out what the documentation was stating.
