Does anyone know if a document attachment in IFS can be added to a report or automated email?  Here is our situation, but the applications are many.  We have approval drawings attached to parts in IFS.  If the part is entered on a Business Opportunity or Customer Order, we want that approval drawing as part of the Quotation Document generated by the Business Op or the Order Acknowledgement. btw - we are on Apps 10.

Hello, We are using Apps 10, UPD9.  Has anyone experienced the scenario described below?   Activity P2657.T01.0010PM.00PM.0040 contains 47 planned hours at a sell rate of $90.00.  This equals $4,230.00 revenue. All of the hours are used and thus the Actual Revenue, Posted Revenue and Planned Resource Revenue are similarly $4,230.00. Yet in IFS the Planned Revenue is only $3,300.00 per the screen shot .  

Hello, I am looking for a way to determine what user created an Inventory Part. There doesn’t appear to be a history tab or any obvious field where this information is captured. I believe I could turn on History Logging and set the PART_NO field to record all inserts, but I’m hoping there is an easier way in the system to tell which user created any IP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,Is there any way to exclude any inventory location that is considered an “inbound work center location” when creating a count report? Thank you,Matt

When I prepare an Inventory Control Plan, I have to enter a site. Once done I want to activate it. System comes back with error message that I have to set existing control plan to InactiveCurrently it looks like the above. Notice the fact that there is no Site/Contract in the selection list.Opening the active Control Plan shows:The one that I want to set active looks like:So part is the same. The site however is different.My logic tells me that The control plans differ, however IFS tells me, via the error message, that control plans are cross site to be set up. Why is the site there and what usage is the site if I can’t  activate it per site.Regards,Steve

When using MRO Shop Order for a Disassembly Shop Order Type, is there a base data selection to reverse the order of existing Manufacturing Structures and Routings. We are looking for a easy way to disassemble a shop order, does anyone have other suggestions or process ideas you can provide.

Could someone explain to me the difference in the values found in the various Part Cost Bucket tables? part_cost_bucket_tab part_cost_bucket_one_tab part_cost_bucket_history_tabI am attempting to construct a Bill of Materials for a data warehouse, and these three tables seem to carry slightly different values.  For the purposes of demand calculations in the data warehouse, I need to be able to leverage a Bill of Materials as of any point in time, so I was hopeful that the history table would include everything I need -- but there are some examples of Part associations in the other two tables not available there.I could perform a simple union of these tables in my SQL query in order to handle for any missing data -- but that feels like a weak solution that could generate more confusion than it alleviates.Any guidance others could provide me on the nuances between these tables would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi, I would like to ask, for IFS “Routing” , How does it support SubAssy?Is there any workaround for it? (the attached pic is the image) background-customer don’t want to create a seprate Routing for SubAssy, because seperate Routing means they have to create dedicate Shop-Order and dedicate Product No for SubAssy.   And they have 20+ SubAssy. 

Is there any way in IFS 10 to make MRP result as Production Smoothing (Heijunka) ? The purpose is smoothing of production quantities or supplier schedule per material within a leveling period.   I see this feature is available at SAP.   https://help.sap.com/viewer/d9bb3b5ddc0945d491068fad15060d5c/2019.1/en-US/a82b32e5d4ba494ab00d708911cce130.html     thanks

We would like to test Incident Distribution List Emailing.   We have created the Incident Distribution List and setup the Distribution List Configuration conditions.   So, when an new Incident is created and the status changes to confirmed then the person in the relevant email distribution list associated to the configuration should be emailed.   When I checked the Release Email Notifications information I can see that the activity is used to send email notifications manually. Note that the status of the notification setting will automatically change to Completed when notifications are manually executed. In the pre-requisites it has the following: In order to send automatic notifications to persons on the distribution list, the relevant event should be enabled in the Event Actions window by the application owner. If different notifications are required to be sent according to the type of actions performed for an incident report, specific values should be added in the Condition for perf

I could convert xml data set to json format using attached xslt transformer, I tested trasformer using online tools and it’s working fine for online tools.But when I am using that transformer from the IFS for the same data set( same format ), the application msg is giving below error. In my xslt I use “xml-to-json” to print the data What should I do for this issue?

Hi Everyone, We have set up a number counter in the Document Basic screen.When adding order lines it is generating a unique number in sequence however as soon as you save the line or refresh the order (in a planned status) the numbers all change? Any ideas? Thanks

Hi all,I need a query that list all users that still doesn't have an employee number.  In order to create their employee file. Much appreciateThanks 

Hi All,Is it possible to hide a Tab in the permission set. I need to hide the ‘COST’ Tab inside the ‘Project’ for some users in their permission sets, is it possible? I only found out that I can hide it inside a base profile.  Much appreciate your help 

Hello Community,We are using IFS APP version 8.In shop order window there in one option Sched Direction as shown below.I want to know what is Backward Scheduling,Forward Scheduling and Manual Scheduling.How can we use it. 

Does anyone know, where we can define “Project Group” basic data in APP7?Can you please let me know the navigator path for that?In App10 and App9, it is available at Financial > Project Accounting > Projects > Projects Groups.However, I’m not able to find it in APP7.Appreciate if anyone could help  .

In "Recipe Structure"1.In Site window > Manufacturing tab > "Number of Decimals in Recipe Structure" > Set value as ‘3’2.Navigate to "Recipe Structure" screen > Query any record for the relevant site 3.Observed the “Quantity per Assembly” field values.4.the “Quantity per Assembly” field has expected decimal places as defined in step 1.But in our test enviornment as done above, still having strange figure of the decimals in qty per assembly.  Please see below. Is this because the components having kg and liter at the same time?  Could you adivse us how to fix this please? Thank you very much for your kind cooperaiton! Kind regards,Kokubo

Hi All, Do you use your part cost calculation method as ‘Weighted Average’ ? What are your reasoning behind that decision? Do you experience performance/locks when the transaction load is high? 

Hello,  I am having issue that people are over production reporting. I cant reverse. What is the correct way to reverse production. Example reported 900 which was really 90. I have shipped 90 and the 810 need to be reverse.  Thank YouCarrie 

we are assigning some permission set to users  and we can able to see what given in Navigator PreviewIs there any option to download the same.

We use IFS apps 9 and we have a scenario where we have a DOP-order connected to a project. In the DOP-structure we are manufacturing configured parts that are to be used as material in the final construction. During the production, the manufacturing cost for the configured part belongs to a different accounting group and different cost element which leads to that the cost first enters the project on the element for the configured manufactured part and then the cost is moved to the cost element for the final product when it is used as material on that. The main problem is that the project has cost and revenue estimates on the element of the final product so it’s not ideal due to that the project manager can’t se the real progress in the projekt until it enters the element for the final product. The problem is also that the manufactured configured parts sometimes is sold as is and we never put configured parts in stock since they have the same PART_NO BUT can be different products depend

A manufacturer’s part has been added to a Part and subsequently used in a Purchase Order Line Part. The error message displays when trying to remove the Manufacture’s Part No line MTG-218-90187.  We would like to remove the Manufacturer Part so that it no longer displays as  Manufacturer’s Part on the Part. By removing it, there is no chance that users will mistakenly use the Manufacturer part (even though it is not Preferred). Any recommendations on how to remove the ‘MTG-218-90187’ Manufacturer’s Part No?

Looking to start a conversation with users that have similar requirements/processes and maybe even a solution that you wouldn’t mind sharing. All parts get setup in our PDM system and and are configured in the form of an Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM). These EBOMs are generally built from the bottom up and contain every part needed to cost the final product. These BOMS may feature Technical, Design and Electrical parts. We need to bring these parts into IFS in the form of a product structure that is configured for manufacturing (MBOM).These MBOMs differ from EBOMS as the component parts may be combined in different ways in order to best facilitate the manufacturing process (effectively create sensible Shop Orders in IFS). If this resonates with anyone on this forum please reply. Many thanks,Pete

Trying to create a repair Product Structure where the byproduct is a serialized part.  Receiving an Error Message that Serialized Byproducts are not supported.  Is there a way to correct this? 

We are running Apps10 UPD8I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to make the following process easier.We sell some off the shelf products that require calibration or testing before we ship them to the customer.   We currently use Repair Shop Orders to do this.  This process works well because the same techs that do regular shop orders also do this work.  We need to use repair shop orders because the part# we are shipping doesn’t change based on calibration/test.Our one challenge is order entry.  Since we are using Repair Shop Orders, we can’t use supply code shop order.  It automatically creates a manufacturing shop order.  The only way to set this up is toSet the supply code to Invent Order Manually Create a shop order, set type to Repair Add the appropriate operations Manually peg it back to the customer order
