We are planning to upgrade our Apps10 PROD environment to the Remote Deployed 23R2 Cloud Setup soon and I want to clarify if IFS has any restrictions or suggestions NOT TO USE Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Express with the Cloud DB.

I received this question in a private message: Can you think of a solution, on how to prevent the system from issuing new WDR beyond maximum shelf life?Example Scenario:A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed.After opening, it must be used within 2 months.A WDR Change - Receipt updates its expiry from 12 months to 2 months.Now, WADACO and IFS prioritize using this stock first.example: A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed. It stayed in the warehouse for 11 months, it has one 1 month left. When moved, the system might change the date to 2 months because is opened. How to make sure it will give only the maximum shelf life inherited from the original date?When stock is moved or repackaged, we want IFS to apply a new shelf life based on its status change (e.g., from sealed to opened). However, if the item is already close to expiration (e.g., 11 months into a 12-month shelf life), the system should not assign a new expiry date t

In the 24R2 documentation:The Update Processed Transactions section in the ‘About MCA’ page reads:“All inventory parts, no matter of inventory valuation method, will have their labor and operation transactions costs adjusted from this command.”The Update Processed Transactions activity in 5.5.9.1 Manufacturing Cost Allocation reads:“The transactions of only inventory parts that are having Weighted Average setting in the inventory valuation method of the Inventory Part page will be updated from this update processed transactions command.”EDIT: I figured out what the documentation was stating.

Hi All, I wonder if anyone of you Heroes and Doers have good and effective solution to the problem, same time not causing overloading the system.   In some cases, WDR is used to change the expiration date. A raw material, has a maximum shelf life when sealed—let’s say 1 year. However, once opened, it remains fresh for only 2 months. How to prevent the system from issuing new WDR beyond maximum shelf life? Example Scenario:A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry originally sealed. When a product is received in the warehouse, it has assigned an expiration date based on its full shelf life. This date is stored in IFS under the batch/lot information.When is being moved from Stores location to floor location, system will treat it as opened, and to be be used within 2 months. A WDR Change - Receipt updates its expiry from 12 months to 2 months.A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed. It stayed in the warehouse for 11 months, it has one 1 month

Hello.In the multi level structure tab, we sometimes have a negative value on the qty per assembly field. What’s the meaning of this and is that possible to update the value to set a positive value?

When running MRP with the Plan Alternate Component option enabled, component part is not reflected in the MRP Part Information page tree structure and, the component part does not see the demand from its parent part. This happens only when Mutual Alternates are set up for the parent part.Environment:24.1.4Steps:Create Parts and Product Structure as shown below.   Part B and Part B-Alt are mutual alternates Create a demand for for Part A Perform Site MRP or Selective MRP for Part A Check the MRP Part Information page. Expand the tree structure you can see the demand coming from Part B in the MRP Part information record of the Part C.   It works as expected. Perform Site MRP or Selective MRP for Part A with the Plan Alternate Component option enabled. Check the MRP Part Information page. Part C does not appear in the tree structure. Search for Part C on the MRP Part Information page. No demand exists. Now, remove the Part B line on the Alternate Component Page of Part B-Alt. Check t

Community,Wondering where to define the Period Version in Sales and Operation Planning for Make to Stock window? see below LOV, it only shows the period defintion till 2024-12. Thank you. 

Currently in IFS Apps 10 we have multiple users that have search functions which sort the results via multiple criteria, an example of this is below,The above will show the user the stock of the entered part number in all the locations on site, the results will be ordered by the Location in ascending order and then by LOT number in ascending order, aiding the user to see the oldest LOT first.  The results would be then sorted in the format below   I am unable to find a way to perform this in IFS Cloud 24R2, I only seem to have the option to sort by a single column, are there any work arounds that will resolve this issue or is this function addition with in the roadmap?

Create a disposition shop order through CAMRO process.Go across the shop order > issue the material and report the operations.Add a disposition line> add disposition code to scrap keep demand.> proceed to approve the line   Observe the inventory part in stock for the relevant part that consist of company owned and customer owned parts. Go to the Assembly shop order and observe the material ownership status.  Go to visual shop order planning > observe that there is no data under material 7.If I change the ownership of the material from customer owned to company owned, it is visible the material in visual shop order planning.    when we need to use the MRP and visual shop order shop order control planning for the customer owned part system doesn’t allowing.please consider to include this feature in a future release.

Hi all, Can you help out how to set-up these configuration settings? We have Configurable sales part A, manufactured Sales part A can consist of B1, B2 and/or B3, depending on what is choosen. We never have B1, B2 or B3 on stock. B1 consist of C1.1, C1.2 and C1.3B2 consists of D2.1 and D2.1B3 consist of E1 B1, B2 and B3 will always be manufactured when its needed for a configuration. We don’t have stock of these.Cx, Dx and Ex will always be on stock. We have a safety stock of these, so we can manufacture them in advance using shop order reqs from MRP. Let’s say I run the configurator, and a DOP gets created. In that DOP, after release, I want to see the shop order to create Top Part A, shop orders to make B1 and B2, and a reservation for C and D components. Is it enough playing with the netting parameter on the inventory parts? Should I use supply setting DOP for more than the top part? Thanks!

I need to delete the customer order line but couldn’t because it has some pegged quantities associated with it. To reduce the pegged quantity to 0 I did RMB on the order line and clicked on “Manual Pegging” to navigate to the “Manual Pegging of Customer Order Line” window. The “Pegged Qty” in the header section shows 24 as shown in the image below. But, in the Purchase order tab, the Pegged Qty is already 0. Initially I thought if I had some qty in the “Pegged Qty” field in the purchase order tab, I would reduce it to 0 but it’s already zero.  On the customer order line, the pegged qty is still showing 24 as shown in the image below:  Please let me know how can I remove the pegged quantity from the order line ?

Hi,When I try to detail a CLOSE purchase order from Supplier Material for Purchase order lineS, the window SMP order Line, dont show nothing.Is it Normal?  

We have old Distribution Orders that are still in Planned Status. How can i cancel these  

We are using IFS Apps 9 and rely on the Shop Floor Workbench to clock in time for shop orders. Currently, when sharing time, users select multiple shop orders and click “Start Production” to allocate time across multiple orders with the same work center.However, when attempting to job onto multiple shop orders with different work centers, the “Start Production” option is greyed out. Is there a setting or configuration that would allow users to share their time across different shop orders with different work centers?We appreciate your guidance on this

We are currently in 23R1 and are prepping to go to 24R1 in IFS Cloud.  But, we are having a bit of an issue with our Shop Orders and associated time reporting.  We normally will set our Routings to have identical Machine Run and Labor Run Factors, and we adjust our Work Center Capacities to account for the number of people there (e.g. 1 person is 100% efficiency, 2 people is 200%, etc.).  But, with our larger projects, it is very common to have something take a month to manufacture.  And, during this time, it is VERY normal for the sites to add additional people to a Work Center for a day or two if they have some extra workers available (say, another Work Center is down for material issues or Maintenance).  But, when this happens, our Remaining Hours gets out of alignment.  For example, Person A will Start Production for the day, starting Labor and Machine Time, and then use Stop Production when they are done, totaling 10 hours for the day (say 6 am to 4:30 pm with 30 min lunch).  Pers

We had an issue over the weekend.  we went from Standard Time to Daylight Savings time.  From about 1AM to 3:00AM the time on our Time Clock and the Time on the Shop Floor Workbench did not match.  The Shop Floor Workbench was 1 hour ahead of the Time Clock.  During this time operators could not clock into jobs on the SFW because it said: “Start time for a clocking cannot be a future time.”  Once the actual time change occurred, this error fixed itself.Do the SFW and the Time Clock get their times from separate places?We are on Apps 10.

Using the “Compare Shop Order with Structure and Routing” option on a shop order shows blowthough phantom items strangely. I get that its doing a 1 to 1 with the product structure so it shows the phantom as being “absent” on the shop order structure and the blow-through components as being “additional”.But I don’t like how the default action is to “remove” the additional components, when they really should be there. We had a change order come through and a planner went through this screen to update shop orders and removed many components without realizing. If we use the “Update Structure Revision and/or Alternate” or “Mass Update Shor Order Structures” it updates the shop orders correctly. Just wondering if I’m missing something with a setting or something. Or if anyone knows if there is any plans to make the Compare feature a little “smarter” in regards to phantom structures.

We copied to cost set 1, had long list of items with the below warning!!**Part 00000 on Site 0000 has been manually removed from Inventory Part (Inventory_Part_Tab), but it still exists in Costing! Part is not copied.**Cost set one is matching cost set 2, and the part in live in INV parts. ??Thank you for your help in advance,

Hello, I am getting this error But I have checked the Routing, the Workcenter, the resource templates, and resources to make sure that they are setup correctly and they are.  I am thinking that maybe there is a company wide setting that needs to be set.

How do I create a Operation Number in the Configuration Structure IFS Apps 10  

When enter a numric value 100, 50 in configuration rule, the value is converted to 100.5 even if I have web setting to use comma in qty per assembly.Anybody that has an solution to this or is it a bug corrected in later releases. We run IFS Cloud 23R2 

Hello Team,I have an issue discovered today.While I’l trying to copy an inventory part, the ABC Class is wrong. You can see on the screenshots below that the REF part is in class A, but the copied part is in Class C.Do you know how can I solve that ? 

Does anyone have an idea about transaction SOMTRLV (Positive/Negative variance of Direct Material Cost)?What triggers this transaction?What is its actual impact on Inventory Value and the GL?Can we prevent this transaction from being triggered?

All,If you are a manufacturer in the EU, I would like to know if you are thinking about how to handle the DPP requirements that are going to be introduced in 2026?As a software provider, we have begun to think about this but want to make sure that we include your thoughts in this process, hence this question!Thanks,Antony 

Hello Comunity, I have a question regarding the functionality of the Part Eco footprint module in IFS Cloud.                    Everyone in the product`s  distribution chain must indicate on the invoice the amount of the recycling charges based on the weight of hazardous substances in the product.  The Eco footprint module calculates the weight of hazardous substances from entire structure parts. Recycling charges must not be part of the product price.                                                                     Does this module a tool for recording recycling charges?Does anyone have a solution for this?                                                                                       Thank you for your answer.
