We want to become better at follow up on Scrap in shop orders. Is there any good way to see how much a scrap of 2pcs in operation 50 costs (based on cost on previous operations and operation 50, or based on pre calculated cost per pcs and operation)? The end goal:A report for the “High Scrap Cost” operations last 12 months where we can address the big money and focus on the top 50.  Give imidiate feedback to each production group on their lobby that: The cost of scrap this week was XXX Your top 10 scrap this week was XXXX with a “year scrap” of YYYY (a table element) - Operators often have information on why there is scrap and what we can do to improve, we just want to provide them with relevant data at the right time so they start thinking about it.  @Björn Hultgren ? 

Hi, I am using Aurena, after running MRP I have a lot of Purchased parts that Need Orders, I can only enact these proposals one at a time, is there a way to select all and enact all?ThanksPaul  

Hi community,We receipt bar stock in multiple lengths (1m, 3m & 6m) but the inventory quantity will be the sum total, If a 2.5m lengthis required this leads IFS to assume we have sufficient stock but the 2.m consists of multiple short lengthsIs there a way to capture the qty in stock by individual length ? 

Hi,In our company the Sales team uses English and the production team uses Danish.However the production team have now been forced to use English since an annoying error keeps occuring while they close orders in the WorkBench. If they change client language to English the error does not occur. Here is the error:FndPLSQLEnumeration encoding error !The client value ‘Manufacturing’ is not part of the Enumeration ‘ShopOrdCOde’! This error comes when the production uses DK language, and as you can see the PO Type is not translated in to Danish - it says ‘Manufaturing’ - however sometimes during the day it says ‘Produktion’ as if it “jumps “ between translation DK and English - as if not beeing stable.​​​​​​Has anybody else experinced something like that ? When we were running App’s 9  -we did not have the problem.Now at App’s 10 we have the problem :-( 

Hello all, I am reaching out because I do not know where to begin solving this problem. The issue is that a user account is trying to print a Handling Unit Content Label from the Shop Floor Workbench. No print dialog is shown when pressing okay in the last step. The report is not created in the Report Archive either. What is interesting is that from the window Handling Units it is possible to print this report. But, it it still does not create the report in the Report Archive. When I try this with admin access, I get the print dialog, can choose layout, printer etc. and it works as intended.  My conclusion is that it might be permission related. Here is where I need help from the community. Where is permissions for allowing a user to print and create Reports located? Or is some other printing/report related setting missing?

Hi, I’ve been experimenting with 'Manual Pegging of Shop Order Material Line'. I’ve grasped the basic mechanics, which is to search for a part and assign it (by allocating the full qty. ‘available’ to the level above (selecting the relevant order no).   The only discernible change is when I check ‘Inventory Part Availability’ the ‘Pegged’ column is whatever qty. you assigned (both for the supply and demand elements). Are there other benefits besides this? I hope there is, otherwise, you wonder what the point of this somewhat manual practice is.   Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.   Many thanks, Jay

Hello Support Team, is it possible to deliver “Customer owned”  material to back its client. ? we are using IFS9.    Regards, 

We use the Project Transaction, Create Correction Transaction to make project time/dollar corrections in Apps9.  I cannot find anywhere in IFS that shows the date a correction was made.  Everything references the original date of the time transaction.  Is anyone familiar with a field that shows the date a correction was made?  Thank you.

Hi, My customer have a parts that 20% from purchusing & 80% from manufacture . purchusing lead time is 40 days. manufacture lead time is 10 days. While , for IFS ,seems only 1 type lead time can be set: either purchusing lean-time or manufacture lead-time,do we have any workwround for this? esp for MRP Explosion,  if the parent parts demands is 100 pcs on 8/30.for this parts, they want 20 Pur Resq on 7/20   80 Shop Resq  on 8/20can this be accomplish by IFS?   

Hi, Is it possible for this field to pick up the name when information is entered into this field rather than just the customer number?  

The setting for the Site on Shop Orders for the site is set to Auto Close.  When we Create a Shop Order from the CRO line it defaults to Manually Close.  Is there a different setting for CRO?

Does IFS consider material OH costs when calculating the cost of a part in Product Estimate (Estimate Bid Management)? The part uses P-110 purchasing cost template which includes a cost element of 10% estimated material cost as the OH.

I want to know the date when an operation is actually finished, not planned to be finished.What I find to be most accurate was the latest entry of the Date applied below.Created a custom field on Shop_order_operations_CFV that works but it is too slow. select Date_applied from OPER_AND_IND_HIST_UIV HIST, SHOP_ORDER_OPERATION_JOIN SOOJwhere HIST.Order_no=SOOJ.ORDER_NO--'13870'and HIST.Operation_no=SOOJ.operation_no--'20'And HIST.Release_no=SOOJ.release_no--'*'And HIST.Sequence_no =SOOJ.Release_no--'*'And SOOJ.objkey=:objkeyOrder by Date_applied descFetch First 1 rows only Works, but it is to slow to be used in many applications. Is there any available function or field I do not know about? @Björn Hultgren, you seem to know your way around these areas?

Is there a way to limit a particular user’s access to only nominated project/s in IFS? I know there is Project Access setting on Projects - but from my understanding, this works in reverse - i.e. it is more related to limiting specific projects to a defined group of users. We don’t currently use Project Access - i.e. all projects are accessible  by any user that has Project Management permission set. It appears switching it on would involve a lot of maintenance, as we’d have to list all users as having access to all projects, whereas we just want to exclude one user from having access to all but specified project/s? IAny thoughts?

Hi,We have a problem when doing ECR object connection. please refer to the attached screen shot, which I captured in a demo environment. you can see full list of object category available there. but in our PROD, I can only see one object category which is ‘Engineering Part Revision’.Our PROD is upgraded from APP8 years ago.Does any one has a clue, this is due to settings or permission issue? Thank you.Ron

Hi Using App’s 10 I am trying to auto receive inventory parts into a predefined line side location ready for assembly once the operator has closed and approved the last operation. I have been told the best way to achieve this is by using work centre inbound and out bond location.can anyone explain how i should use the work centre in and outbound location for the below example?ExampleI have 3 sub assemblies which make up one finished part, all sub assemblies are built in a different work centre but need to go the same line side location so they are available to be used in the top level final assembly. Once the final assembly has been processed in WC4 the finished part is moved to dispatch for delivery.  does the OUTBOUND location on WC1, WC2 and WC3 need to be the same as the INBOUND location of WC4 Will the system try to locate all part which have a last operation in either WC1,WC2 or WC3 to WC4 or can you select individual parts only to be located in WC4. Do you need to change any of

Hello, does anyone know if you can create a document revision on a batch record and have it ‘follow’ that batch. For example, if i was to attach a certificate to a certain part in the Inventory Part In stock screen I would like to be able to view that certificate from the Material Transaction History on the Shop order.

Hi, There are many things that could be valuable from an analysis perspective if we in a simple way could combine data from one operation with the previous operation and find the prevoius one even if there are parallell operations(then we should find the one that has to be done before).Has anyone a suggestion for that?One application that we are looking at:Adjusted OTD (instead of planned and actual start/finished, look at previous operations actual finish date + transport+setup). You cannot be on time if the previous operation is late, but you can still do your part at promised lead time.

I created a custom page and lobby elements on a column CF$_DOC_RESP_PERS and the count of those values in the element as a list. So the lobby page shows the resposible person and their count as a list If i click on the person it should take me to the custom page where other details about that person are available. In the lobby element i have given as per the IFS documentation  page/Csrmaster/csrmasterpage?$filter=cf$_doc_resp_pers  eq $[cf$_doc_resp_pers]But the filtering is not working. The columns are custom fields. Please guide me Thanks  

I am wondering where could I see in IFS how much '$' each Coordinator are allow to authorize per Purchase Order?

Test Steps:Go to  Engineering > PDM > Change management > Change OrderSearch for any CO with Pending Approvals (In attachment tab you can see approval process: Attachment below). To check Further Go to Engineering > PDM > ApprovalsAnd search for not approved line using search conditions ( CO & Group ID: Attachment below). Now Go to previous CO window and try to delete the CO with pending approvals, it is possible even with pending dependencies. This behavior is not acceptable.  In my opinion system should show an error message that CO cant be deleted because dependencies are existing on the CO.I tried on TQA but there is a proper popup message to that scenario and operation been cancelled.No customizations involved and the code base are same noticed that after investigating.Symptom: I have debugged the process and identified OBJ_CONN_DELETE getting False.Appreciate if any suggestions to overcome the issue.

Hi,Here comes the scenario we think might not be able to be addressed by APP10. we need to borrow your minds.We have very limited shop floor stock, hence we would like the materials picked as per operation start date, e.g. 3 days before operation start date. unfortunately, this is not feasible in the schedule job ‘Create pick list for shop orders’.then, we are thinking of the prior step of picking, reservation. we would like to use ‘Shop Order Auto Process Type’, Process Event ‘Reserve Shop Order’.so, question here, ‘Days Before Start Date’,  this date is shop order start date or operation start date?It looks to me it is a shop order start date, if that is the case, the reservation is going to performed on the whole shop order INSTEAD of operation material only. any suggestions? work around ways?Thank you.Ron  

I have spent lot's of time creating the custom page and configuring all the RMB options etc. I wish to know if I can export the pages (Similar to application package in IEE). I have seen  on PROJECTION COnfiguration an option to ADD to PACKAGE . Wish to know if all the work done on the custom page like lists/command groups RMB options etc all will be added to the package or not. Please guide me on this. We wish to deploy the application package on another environment

Is there a key / document / diagram that explains what all the symbols on the Part Eco Footprint screen in the Emission build-up tree view mean? For example, what does the circle with a line in the middle symbol on the Emission build-up tree view mean next to a part number?   

Hi, can we in IFS do an automated receive of a shop order, connected with a timer for example? Situation: We have one production line (A), which in some cases can be connected to another production line (B). Each machine has his own shop order, and produces his own products. The output of machine A, is the input of machine B (in some cases)If the machines are connected, it would be convenient to to ‘auto receive’ the products from machine A, so we can backflush them with machine B. Best regards
