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.

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?   

Greetings to all! :) To include the Cost from the OutsideOperationItem (purchased part) used for Outside Operation we must manually enter a value in the column "unit cost" in the  view Outside Operation Cost.   When it is not entered in the view Outside Operation Cost - it is not included in the Part Cost Calculation for the Main Part where the Outside Operation ITEM is included in the routing.   We have the cost for this Outside Operation item in the Purchase Part (Supplier for Purchase Part),    Why do we have to enter the value again in outside operation cost? Can this be automized?Event?Or is

Hello,  I need to find a way to view when a Aurena screen change was published.  We have a screen that has gotten some configuration stuck and will not save without error’s.  Would like to track down a way to see publish actions that have taken place on that screen to try and see what caused this and possibly rollback to that timeframe. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to get a list of products that will expire before they are used or sold based on the current forecasted demand? We produce fresh food products and juices, both the ingredients and finished goods have relatively short shelf life. We would like to be able to see what items we are long on so that we can take actions to either sell or donate them instead of purging the products. We are on Apps 10 update 5

I need to filer the data from login person’s person id. I create PERSON_ID column in data source and try it in data element.This is a counter, but  it’s passing null value for the parameter.  How can I fix this issue or can I used global parameter(‘#PERSON_ID#’) for the url?

Does anyone have any experience of applying a material overhead cost per batch for Shop Order/Part costs?We want to apply the cost of using an adhesive to stick components together,  for different parent parts have a different adhesive and hence cost.I’ve tried using Part Specific Overheads but although I can create the cost element, I can’t get IFS to recognise it on the drop down when I try adding it.There be something basic I am doing wrong - any ideas?

Is there documentation related to RRP (Resource Requirement Planning) and CRP(Capacity Requirement Planning) in IFS APP 10? Would like to understand its functionality.  Please advise. Thanks in advance.

In apps8, is there a way to customize the display (like column chooser) of change request from the attachments in the context pane.My need is to add the CO status after the CR status because the last status of the CR is “processed” but that does not mean that the CO is completed. And similarly, can we add the checkbox “action completed” in the change action from the attachments in the context pane in order to allow the user to complete his action without right-clicking on the action line and navigate to the change order actions. Thanks for your helpCarole

When Navigating Project Navigator > one of the activity > demand tab > misc partsI am unable to see all the available columns of it.Even though all the visible columns are on the list unable to see all of them together. it’s having morecursor is at the end of it but it’s having more columns. Also, the cursor is harder to differentiate from the main cursor, it has to be the same as the parent cursor but it’s not.  All of them fall under customization. 

In the shop order window there are negative pegged values available in a shop order. Any thoughts on how this might have happened and how to resolve it?Appreciate your ideas regarding this .

I am using Contexts in Aurena and using Context mapping by user groups (all working well in UPD10) HOWEVER what I would like to know is does anyone know how to duplicate a context.   Reason being - I have created a context for Frontline but I have 3 user groups that need to use this context and context mapping will not allow me to assign more then one user group (unless I’m doing that wrong as well) and I don’t want to have to do all the page updates in each new context. Hope this makes sense and somebody has an answer.  :-)
