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.

Hello,I would like to register automatically purchase costs in the “Project cost registration -Non personal” window.When an expense sheet is authorized, automatically it is registered in the “Project cost registration - Personal” window. But, when a purchase order is invoiced or posted, it is not registered as a cost in this window.I could create an event, but I wonder if there is another way to get it.Best regards,Amaia

I am using IFS 8 and no matter what I have put in as an Expression, I get the error that the expression must return a date. I tried the solutions in other Topics, but none work for me.I even tried something really simple: SYSDATE + 1/3600; which comes directly from IFS Online Documentation and get the same error.Is there something weird about IFS 8?Any help is appreciated.

Hello,  We are currently in the process of implementing IFS Apps 10. The system is setup as multi-site. We are a manufacturing company, and often times we have a part that will be manufactured across multiple plants. We may perform a stamping operation in one site, ship that part to another site for consumption in a Product Structure to create a finished part, which would then be shipped to a customer.  We are finding that part setup can be quite tedious and time consuming. There is a lot of manual entry to setup an Inventory Part, Sales Part, Routing, Product Structure, Purchased Parts, etc. There are a few shortcuts I’ve used such as Standard Operation, Routing Templates, Copy Part, and creating a Sales Part first to have the Inventory Part automatically created.  The vendor we are working with has suggested using a custom spreadsheet to create the parts and import them into the system from the spreadsheet. My feeling is that IFS has enough functionality built into it to streamline t

Has anyone used Transport Time in IFS Apps 8 ?  What benefit would this give me over using Queue time on the Work Center

Hi, How to move part from one location type to another?  Currently Part A sits at ‘Picking’ location but we want to move this to ‘Arrival’ or ‘Quality Assurance’ ?  I am trying to move it using transport task but it is showing me an error that “cannot move to location type “Arrival” when not connected to purchase order.  We have received PART A using purchase order. Please let me know how can we proceed on this. Thank you for your help.

On the Engineering Part Revision screen, IFS provides a RMB option called Copy Services. When clicked, a dialogue box is shown which allows the user to specify a Source part number, and then select if they want to copy the Structure, Documents, or Characteristics (or any combination there-of).In IFS Apps 10, I can use this function to copy Characteristics (attributes, values, and Info) from one Eng Part Rev to another, but when i try the same in IFS Apps 9, the option for Characteristic is always greyed out. Details of my process are as follows…Open the Engineering Parts screen and create 2off new parts…    Part No: RHU-TEST-111,    Part No: RHU-TEST-222, Open the Engineering Part Revision screen, and search for RHU-TEST-111Open the attachment panel, select Characteristics,RMB, Select Technical Class…Select an existing technical class template (I used a tempate with ~50off attributes)Populate the Value and Info fields on one or more attributes.RMB, Save Attributes On the Engineering pa

How can I identify common parts across various Product Structures 

Hi, Does ‘Planning Alerts - Shop Order’ need to be configured (if so, how) before this page is useful?   I’ve done partial testing by selecting ‘Approve Planning Alert’ for what is deemed as ‘Alert - High’. No changes  occurred to the orders/parts question. At least, not according to the history of said orders.   I’m not sure what to expect with this page, i.e. is this anything like actioning exception messages in other MRP vendors? What is the scope of these alerts?    many thanks, Jay

Hi all,Apps10 has this nice new feature called ‘operation block’ for splitting reported time between multiple shop orders. But it does not seem to be working on the materials. Hence, how do we issue material the same way to multiple shop orders (and unissue afterwards)? 

Hi all, I’m scheduling an entire product, to be manufactured from scratch,  with MRP (Apps 10) and APB.How can I plan the upper levels of the bill, i.e. the assembly parts, to start only when the component pieces are projected to be available based on their CBS scheduled finish dates. So, the shop order for part .’..GA’ has an Earliest Start (as found in the header of the order) of much greater than whenever the requisition was accepted. Typical product:Level 0 = General AssemblyLevel 1 = Sub-assembliesLevel 2 = Piece Part Requirements   Our capacity constraints are in making the piece parts (L2) which are time-consuming operations. Hence, I need to finitely schedule that list of parts in APB based on resource loading then, schedule the upper-levels to start based on the projected availability of L2. Tying materials with ‘Operation No.’ in ‘Product structure’ doesn’t provide assistance because the resulting action messages are downwards-looking. Early/Late Order actions would be among 

Hello Guys.     I am looking notes of Aurena, I don't know about Aurana anything,    In my company started working In Aurena (IFS 10) in after few days.    Please assist me, how can do work,developement in Aurena.    Highly appreciate for such kind of help for us. Thanks in advance.    

Hello,We have a question regarding fulfillment dates and feedback loops.We create a customer order for an item and put a planned ship date of 3 days from today Site MRP is run later and determines we will need to build the item and manufacturing lead time (and purchasing lead times) dictate it will take 3 weeks to buildIs there a mechanism in IFS that will alert (or modify) the original customer order that the original date is no longer feasible? Or are custom events or reports the only method?

Hi all, Can I get a reference or manual for how to execute MS and then tend to any messages that may occur. What is the name of the page on IFS? thanks,Jay

Hi all,  How can I update Need Dates for Shop Orders, in the event the Required Date for the independent demand against the top-level is changed?For instance, a product could be given a Required Date of next month. MRP then calculates backwards to determine the date at which each material in the bill must be available to salsify said date, using the component lead time (unprotected). I take it this is how Need Dates are calculated. But, if the business has a change in priorities, and we decide to amend our master schedule, I’d like to find a way to update the raised/released/started orders based on us having manually edited the Required Date.That way, when APB is executed over a group of orders, taking Need Date as a means to determine sequencing, it can reflect changes in our priorities at the top-level.Is there a report to provide this alignment? Any data requirements? As of now, we are not using pMRP or DOP. Just IFS Apps 10 (with APB for CBS Scheduling). thanks,Jay

Hi everybody!I have some documents to send to users and  want to send them from IFS(via email). The problem is   I want to schedule when I can send. For example: every month,every hour exc.. I looked over Document Distirubtion but the trigger is only when document release.I dont want to use backround jobs or event action because these are not depent on an event. I want to use as a reminder. Is there another way? I use IFS 9 Thank you
