Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

Just wondered if anyone (in the UK) has experience of managing MOD GFE equipment in IFS. whether its repairs, spares, embodiment items etc etc. Some of this will come in on a CRO but not all of it will and some of it will be held by the business on behalf of MOD. My starting point for tracking is the fact that it will all be flagged as Customer Owned in IFS.There are strict requirements how businesses need to manage and report on any GFE they hold. There must be someone out there who has experience and I would be really interested in understanding how it is being done within IFS.Many thanks

Yes, you can add alternate parts to each part defined in a product structure, either at EBoM (Asset Design) or MBoM (Manufacturing product structure); also you have the concept of a structure alternate defines the state of a configuration structure and represents a slightly different way of making the same part. The differences might be base

Hello all European IFS customers.Is there anyone of you out there that have the same trouble as us to fulfill ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) Waste Framework Directive (WFD). This means send information to SCIP (Substances of Concern In Products). Base for this this information exist in IFS and the module Eco Footprint, But.. IFS don’t have all information and they don't have the interface to export to SCIP out of the box . As this is an European directive we thought IFS should fix this in coming releases, or in an extension,, But the info I got says that they wont do that.Is there anyone else out the that want to join forces to get this done?BrChrister Kindvall

Hi All, I frequently manually run Generate Inventory Part Availability Exceptions throughout the day. It typically took about 2 minutes to run the process as a background job. Recently we patched Oracle and the process has increased to 8+ minutes. Has anyone run into this issue and is there a fix or setting that we’ve overlooked? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

is there a way to show extra fields (part number, description ...) on the graph?  I know you can add them to the Tool Tip, would like them to show all the time.

We recently upgraded from Apps 10 UPD4 to Apps 10 UPD7 and it seems like there was a change in behavior in the Create Project Wizard.  The “Copy Existing Project” box is now checked by default and we haven’t been able to figure out where to turn it off.  Does anyone know if this can be unchecked by default?  And if so, where?Thank you,Joann RMB in the left side of the navigator window or the bottom area of the window.  Select Create New Project  At the bottom of the the window 1/7 the Copy Existing Project box is checked by default

Afternoon allDoes anyone have experience of using IFS to manage effectively the discontinuation of a sales part.Ideally I’m thinking of a solution where a part can be “ticked” as discontinued or planned discontinuation which would automatically identify this to all relevant departments to carry out their actions?Thanks

Does anyone know if it’s possible to schedule the “Calculate Order Cost” for all Shop Orders on a particular site or can this job only be run manually one shop order at a time?     Thanks  

I’m looking for a list of recommended methods in IFS for Functional Areas to jump start our work in defining these for SOX SOD purposes. For example, I’m looking for all the methods that can be used to adjust inventory without a Customer Order or Purchase Order in support of a Physical Inventory FA. Any suggestions?

I have a scenario where I've issued Project Inventory to a Work Order and have run Revenue Recognition. The revenue I expected to see was not what I expected to see. It looks like the system is not taking note of the fact that the project inventory was issued to the work order and, therefore, it was not consumed.I retested by issue the material to a Demand and Revenue Recognition DID calculate properly.Maybe it's a bug but perhaps someone can help me with understanding why Revenue Recognition "sees" the issue when I issue to the demand, but not when I issue to the demand of the WO.I"m all ears!Patrick

Hello, I have been trying to find a way to view all raw material that is used at a given work center. Ideally, I have reviewed material usage, component where used, but there does not appear to be a way to search by Work Center. I am hoping that there is an area within the system where this data can be viewed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As part of our business agreements, we have the ability to return inventory to our suppliers on an annual basis that show no movement.  We transitioned to IFS in early 2020 and majority of the inventory to be returned was purchased in our legacy system.I am aware of how the RMA works for returns tied to customer orders as well as when a PO was generated within IFS.  Does anyone know how to return inventory when there is no PO tied to it within IFS?Thank You

We use the project management in IFS 10 Update 8.Now the user want to make "Projects Time Registration". We got an error masage "You cannot modify projekt transaction of the company XYZ without a valid position assigment". The employee has a correct position assigment. We had to set the Self-Access Role ID to "REG_NO_AUTH" in the HR-Module Employee File - Employment - Assigments - Organization. After that the user could register his projects time.We have to the set this role? Or is there another option?We don't use the "Time Management" in the company.

We continue to try to provide value added lobby data for manufacturing shop floor personnel using IFS Apps 10 UPD 6 (soon to be UPD 8). We want to display operations currently ‘running’ for each work center (started or interrupted but not completed/closed).  in Work bench, there is a Gear icon and an ! icon that display for started or interrupted shop order operations. is some representation of those statuses held in a table somewhere that we can interrogate? or better yet, is there a ‘canned’ lobby element that already exists? Thanks

  Do you know of a report in IFS8 that includes the operation’s labor factor (routed) , the quantity (lot) produced, and  actual time posted to the operation as displayed by employee?   Currently I run an operation and indirect report and manually key in the labor factor (routed time) per part number produced and then export and pivot table.   I have also tried utilizing shop floor clockings and enter in the quantity produced.  Both activities take a significant amount of time.

Hello,We originally set up multiple Change Order Templates, but have decided to reduce the number of templates that we would like our Engineering team to be able to select from.  Is it possible to remove previous templates from the LOV in the “Copy From” field?  If so, can I have some guidance on how to perform these steps.  Thank you for your support  

Morning, We’re testing Project Time Registration. When a user F2’s on this screen they see time registrations for all empoyees rather than just being restricted to their own - as happens on the Time Registration screen. Have we missed a setup screen? Thanks, Chris.
