What’s the significance of having the Print UoM same as the Inventory UoM? Is it mandatory all the time for all the parts? If not, what type of parts should have this? Only its reflected on reports like Picklist?  By the way we don’t use IFS Engineering module, so the field Print UoM in the IFS window ‘Receipe Structure’ is out of question

Does anyone have a quick guide what to check when the Eng Rev is not filled on the Purchase Order? 

When I compare APP9 and APP10 there is a difference in shop order picklist. This is good. However, there are customers who use summary report which is not available in APP10. This is important for customer who use same part in product structures multiple times and they can consolidate. Also Line Item number not exist in the detail report. Behavior in APP9:Report consists of 03 pages.Cover Page Detail Page Summary Page (This is not available in APP10) 

Hi Everyone,Apologies if I’ve posted this on the wrong page - Is there some training video’s on the MRB module I could take a look at? I’ve tried looking through gotostage and the community page but can’t find anything. We are currently on IFS9 and are looking to roll out the MRB module. I was hoping to find some user documentation on this to go through a few examples. Is there any available to look at?Many Thanks,Dan

So what is the IFS design for communicating the Shop Order reserved serial numbers to the manufacturing floor (they only use IFS Shop Floor Workbench, no logins?)   We’ve looked at the Shop Order report and the Shop Order Work Instruction report; nothing.  Our actual issue is how do we communicate the Shop Order reserved serial numbers to the outside service operation vendor.  But at this point, that would be a bonus….  Ideas?

Hello, I am curious as to whether or not it is possible to disable the Close Operation flag on the Approve Operation dialogue box on Shop Floor Workbench? Often times we have Shop Orders where we produce more than the remaining qty. The issue this presents is that if an operator forgets to uncheck the flag, the Operation line will close and no longer be visible on their Workbench. At this point, someone in our scheduling department has to reopen the operation so they can continue reporting pieces. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Hiin our company we have IFS9; and I need to check the accounting cycle.could you please provide any reference to check the accounting cycle ?

It has just been reported that a lot_batch_no has been e ntered incorrectly for 1 order.   Is is possible to amend the lot_batch_no. I don’t believe it is possible as material transactions exit but thought I would ask.

When initiating MWO Service, it loops with the message “waiting for server”.

Hi all,We have supply for given parts which MRP has not merged into a single requisition. Despite the requirement being within a similar if not identical date. These parts also have an Order Cover Time of 30 days (& Planning Method set to G). We are currently using pMRP. Is the use of this, specifically separate Project ID’s, forcing the netting process to supply lot-for-lot?For instance, we’ve got 3 finished goods to be made. Each loaded in a separate project. The gross requirements are the same. The independent demand (when Due) is the same. Yet the supply, in the form of various shop and purchase reqs are not merged. Why?Any thoughts? 

Hello!We use APPS9. We installed an update for HR some days ago. After some calendar were in the status “ChangesPending”. At night, I started with the RMT functionality “Generate Calendar” a background job. They ended successfully. After this action the dates “Planned Delivery Date” and “Planned Ship Date” in the mask “customer order” were changed automatically for the order lines which were in the status  “Reserved, Released and Partially Delivered” - but the calculation is not correct, it calculated like this: The Date on which I generated the calendar plus the reprocurement time of the part, e.g.14 days to produce the part: In the mask “Order Line History” is the follwing entry: “Planned delivery date was changed from 2021-03-31 to 2021-04-20”. 

Hello Community,We are migrating engineering part information into an existing implementation and have a need to create separate engineering part structures and hierarchies that utilize the same components.  For instance, Parts A and B may both utilize Part C as a child component, but the Part B hierarchy would have further children parts that Part A would not have.  What we do not want is when looking at the structure and hierarchy for Part A, to see the child components related to Part B.  Further, we do not want modifications made to a parent/child to affect the structure of another part. Is this supported in Apps10, and if so, is there a recommended practice to implement this?  Looking at the engineering part structure data, it seems like this may be possible by delineating a structure ID, but I can’t find how to set that on the front end or through the migration documentation.    

Hi Team, I was working on Service management work order in IFS Apps 10 UPD 10.  I found that whenever I try to create invoice for my service order it shows me this error in the background job.  I am not able to create invoice because of this error. Is it a bug ? Please let me know. Thank you.  

Please help It’s very urgent Has anyone ever gotten this message?   Thanks for yours answers quick  I have a workshop with the client this afternoon BR Christèle

Hello,We are just starting to use manufacturing tools and I’ve managed to get our inspection gauges (job specific) into here too. I have seen that you can state when last calibrated and the interval time and this calculates when it next requires calibration. However I can not see any standard functionality in Apps9 to see who calibrates and how to see when calibrations are required apart from going into each record. Am I missing something or will I need to do some customization with reports and custom fields for supplier of calibration? Or is it simpler to link to a serial object and use the service and maintenance module to do this?Thanks for any input here, much appreciated. 

Has anyone been able to come up with a solution in the core system to switch ownership of material from Company Owned to Customer Owned and back again? At the moment we’re looking at a potential modification or perhaps a complex custom event that will generate and receipt the PO for us, just reaching out in case there’s something we’re missing here as an option. This is for lot batch tracked materials in inventory to be used in shop orders.

Please provide an example a description of the usual data flow in ETO and project delivery.Is it going like this?: 1. step: Modul Product Estimate Management - assembly (preliminary) of the part peak including phantom items.2. step: CAD & PDM: ENGINEERING BOM including phantom items.3. step: MANUFACTURING BOM including phantom items whith and production times.4. step: Project Management: Automatic creation of the project structure (WBS) of the product. And project planning..5. step: Make manufactoring order: From the structure of the pre-production phase (only for part - with the status approved for production).  Thank you!  

Hi,What is the user case behind the Start Downtime and Stop Downtime functionality in Shop Floor Workbench?If I Start Downtime on an ongoing operation, why only the machine time clocking stop and labor keep on clocking? Why not Stop Production?  Is it wrong practice to use Start Downtime on an ongoing operation, instead of Interrupt the operation?Cheers

We recognize revenue based on our IFS customer projects we set up. Is there a way to link multiple customer projects to an IFS contract so we can easily compile all the projects information related to one contract?  

We are trying to close out a project but we get the message that there is some work that remains to be completed.  When we go to the Unfinished Activity Work window the message reads,‘There is at least one Project Transaction which has not been completely invoiced or where Multi-Company Reporting Revenue voucher has not been created.’How do we resolve this issue?  The project has transactions from back in like 2006, 2007, 2008 so invoicing is not an option.  We just want to close this project.  

Hello, @Cjoslin  Have you by any chance encountered something like this?  This is a question from LCL: We are using IFS Apps 10, UPD9.  We have encountered an error and wonder if anyone has a suggestion for working around it that doesn’t involve creating a separate part number.  To build part A -  I need part B & CTo build part C – I need A & B End Item :           PN (2472505)  92B-28; 92B-28 HIGH PRESSURE PILOT  25-75 PSIG SPRING RANGE  .  PILOTE A HAUTE PRESSION,  GAMME DE PRESSION 25-75 PSIG Component :     PN (2472031)  92B-1.5-NPT-CI-SST-92B-5@15psig (92B-75)   PN (2471990)   92B-1.5-NPT-CI-SST-92B-25@75psig (92B-78)  End ITEM: PN (2471990) - 92B-1.5-NPT-CI-SST-92B-25@75psig (92B-78) Component:      PN (2472031) 92B-1.5-NPT-CI-SST-92B-5@15psig (92B-75)PN (2472505) 92B-28; 92B-28 HIGH PRESSURE PI

Hi everybody!We are having trouble with finding a solution for internal transports within production. We want to notify the dedicated forklift driver when a WIP is ready to be transported from a work center to another within IFS. We were not able to solve the issue with ‘transport task’ because it’s a WIP.  The forklift is equipped with a IFS computer so we also considered using ’quick report’ to form a list that shows all work centers and their current status, but this solution also has its problems.Does anyone have a suggestion to this problem? All help is appreciated!Charles

Hi, How can we see in the easiest way if we can manage customer order lines with a steady output of a shop order? Let’s say we have a big shop order over several months of 200.000 pieces, producing 100 pieces /day. We have several costumer order lines, each week wanting 400 pieces for example.As we produce 100 pieces a day, it should not be a problem to deliver these costumer order lines. However, in the Inventory Part Availabilty overview screen, we only see the projected stock at the end date of the shop order. So all the costumer lines go in negative projected inventory untill we actually do the reporting, so it doesn’t tell ‘if everything goes according to plan, these customer order lines will be ok in the future’ How can we see that with the current planning, we will be able to deliver (or not)?  

Is there a way to refresh the “Part Description” field to the value that comes in when you first add a part other than changing the part number, and then changing it back?
