Hi,Does anyone know if there is a difference between a shop order with a manufacturing status and a shop order with a prototype status? Thanks

Hello all,Any suggestions how to import Primavera P6 (.xer) file into IFS. Thanks.

I am looking to build a single query statement that pulls back all parts that are part of a given Part Structure.  If I look at the Tree view in Engineering Part Navigator it shows all parts that are part of the system.  I need the ability to query the database for all parts that belong to this tree.  If someone out there has done this can you please share.  Another way to look at it would be I want everything on the Multilevel tab.  Although the tab shows all part records the view it is based on does not (ENG_PART_STRUCTURE_EXT). Any help would be appricated.

Hello everyone.  I’d like to know if anyone does the following or if it’s even possible. We use standard costing.  Site A manufactures a part that has material, labor and OH cost bucket IDs.  The part is then transferred to Site B.  Currently we use the P-150 cost template to set the standard cost in Site B to be the same as the standard cost in Site A.  The problem is that the cost in Site B is only associated with cost bucket ID 510.  I’d like the material, labor and OH costs from Site A to be the same in Site B.  Is this possible?  Thanks!

Hi, How do we set the status “Scrapped” on Design Objects? When we try to do that, we get the message “This state change is not allowed when the operational status is In Operation”.And the Operational Status seems to be read-only. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, I am currently looking into a way to create an Event Action to notify a user via Streams that a Routing is approaching a Phase Out Date. I’m not quite sure how to do this, as there does not appear to be a way to trigger the the Event. The Phase Out Date would already have the date and it would not be updating, simply lapsing. In the screen shot below, Ideally a Streams notice could be triggered to send 7 days prior to 3/31/2021. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

We have decided to implement price lists function in IFS.  Just wondering if there is a document that lists some best practices to be followed and some do’s and don’ts. Currently we use product family and product group 1 to categorize the products.Engineering/PDM..product number, product type is not used.I am providing this additional information that may or may not be of help to group the products and develop some hierarchy for search, sort down the road.

When we search on screen  the result data can be changes and saved there only.Is this possible ?

Hi All,I am recently involved to setup some 21R1 configuration in various environments. When setting up I encountered various issues such as not knowing which projections to be granted in order to external clients to work, most of them are IAM clients. Which projections to be granted, information was passed by the Product Development teams which helped us. But is there a way to exactly know which projection should be granted so that the external clients would work. e.g. AdvancedPlanningBoard, MaintenancePlanningBoardIntegration I think in Aurena client we can search by Projections by Navigator so inside the client if something isn’t working, we probably can grant these projections to a specific permission set so the purpose is achieved. 

Hi, our customer has a requirement to generate a rework order(shop order) in IFSinside the rework order, (1)It should indicate which component need to be dis-assembly(2)And record the actual dis-assemblied Serial No and re-assebmly Serial No(3)And record the time and cost. In IFS, is there any function can meet this requirement?  

Is there an automated way to substitute an operation across all routings and routing templates.  I have a new operation that needs to be replaced across all routings and some of these are not related to a template.

Good Morning, We are looking into using a Campaign to manage customer discounts. We have over 1000 customers and some of them get offered a 2% discount off our entire product range between certain dates of the year.We have set the campaign to a customer and applied the to and from dates along with the discount however it seems we have to list every item in a range in the Buy field? Is this a way around this so the discount will be put against the customer for the time frame against every customer order raised for them regardless of the sales part?

I am not able to find the Configuration Structure Graphic and Configuration Routing Graphic in Cloud. Is this available in IFS Cloud or is there a  new window that I should use?This is the IE exampleBelow are my options in IFS Cloud; I also could not find this in Aurena APPS 10 update 10. 

Looking for a simple way to create an export of all elements and sub-elements of a product structure to Excel.

When we do an MTR is there a way to set the UOM to 100 for a particular part number? Right now we have some items in packs of a 100 and if someone wants 99 we really need to just pull 100 regardless since they are small items in bulk packs? We can’t seem to find a place to do this, anyone? We are currently in Apps 8 moving to 10 at some point. thank you!

Hi, I have 3 questions on Element Designer.   In the Element Designer, there is a Form Mapping section. I would like to know how to use it. I found an example in the Bar chart ‘Vacancies Progress’ which is mapped to ‘frmTabHeadCountPlan.  But in the Head Count form, I have not found anything related to this lobby element… In the Navigation section, I would like to have information on the ‘Use own process’ checkbox and its Process id. In a Bar chart, in the Data section, what exactly is the ‘Transpose data’ checkbox for ? Thanks   Michel

In Product Estimate Management, user can register new parts (Component Type) and can transfer with following options.Is it possible to have an option to create Engineering parts in PDM? 

We have a request for implementing an interface between TeamCenter, the PLM system of Siemens with IFS10. Do you have it up and running or have you looked at it. I don’t need full specs here, more a sense of how difficult it would be to prepare such an interface or that it can be bought from a partner or Siemens. Thanks in advance.

Hi,We are using planning method K (Blow through planning) frequently,  Sometimes the demand of the K-planned parts appears in Inventory Part Availability planning, producing alarms that we have a “Negative Projected Onhand”. Anyone who knows why?

When creating new Engineering Revisions, we need to copy the related spare parts in the same process. If not we will miss them as our structures are too complex. Example as follows. This is applicable for Copy Services also and there is no option to copy spare parts.Do we have any solid solution other than copy/paste objects. 

Hi,Is it possible to have more than one rule using the conditional formatting? 

Hi, I am very interested in how to control access to restricted documents in IFS, particularly ITAR. We are on IFS Version 10, UPD7 and use Active Directory Federation Services to connect users to their Active Directory accounts for login.  We have multiple companies and sites across a number of countries.   I am quite familiar with Document Access and Document Class Management using assigned person groups. However, the loophole is that a Document Control rep at one of our sites with access to Document Basic Data can inadvertently add a unauthorized person to a person group that is assigned to a restricted Document Class. I am also interested in the best approach in terms of the Doc Vault. We presently use Shared Files. Storing document files in the database is not feasible given the impact to system performance with the volume of documents in use across all of our sites. We are at the point of removing the restricted documents completely, storing the files in site specific file ser

When scheduling a block of shop order operations in sequence, what logic is used to determine the sequence in which the operations are scheduled? Is the final sequence based on prioritization by Order Need Date, Operation Finish Date, Remaining Resource Hours, something else?
