We need to assign employees/teams to shop order operations. According to the documentation for IFS Apps 10, this feature is available from the Shop Order Operations RMB and also in the Shop Floor Workbench.However, when I checked in the IEE client (Apps 10), I couldn’t find this option anywhere. In Aurena, it is available (in the same environment as the IEE client).Initially, in Aurena, the command button was not visible because CBS(Constraint Based Scheduling) was active on all sites. Since we do not use CBS, we disabled it. After that, the “Assign Employee/Team” option became visible in Aurena.Now, we need to check whether this functionality is also available in the IEE client, because the currently used client is IEE.Is this feature supported in the IEE client for Apps 10?Current version: Apps 10 UPD 18

Hello, Our company uses the IFS 9.4 application.Is there anyone who has experience with PDM–ERP integration on IFS or who has done this before? As part of our planned integration, we want to automate the following processes:Automatically updating material revisions made in PDM as engineering revisions on the IFS side Automatically transferring the product tree (BOM) from PDM to IFS Automatically creating inventory cards in IFS from PDMWe would like to discuss the details with anyone who has experience in these areas or would like to share their thoughts.You can contact me via LinkedIn:👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/muzaffer-%C3%A7okaslan-60477121a/ Thank you in advance. Best regards,Muzaffer Çokaslan

Hello community,In the cost set 5, i am calculating the cost for a purchased material and copying the cost to cost set 1. Everything looks perfect here. When i do a receipt of the same part, the cost detail is not split by the cost buckets properly. it is only picking the first line from P-140 cost template. For testing purposes, i deleted the cost bucket 140 from P-140 cost template. Then the cost was created with next cost bucket in the template which is 160. Anyone knows how to split the cost properly for inventory transaction receipt?Thanks Furkan

Hello everyone,I have an issue when it comes to Shop Order that are connected to CAMRO processes.The idea is to have a Pick List that can cover multiple Shop Orders, like Consolidated Picklist for Customer Orders/Shipments.Anyone had this problem before? How can we do a Consolidated Shop Order Pick List?

Hello All, I have created custom lov where I created the LOV to display its ID and Description, The lov works fine shows up in Order report when report is run from application as well it shows when running from BR, only issue is the description, the description shows up in the report when ordering from IFS application but it does not show when I view from BR report. The report is currently developed from APPS10 environment.

Why does the system allow issuing a quantity greater than what is defined in the Repair Action (Add)? Shouldn’t this be restricted to avoid mismatches between the consumed quantity for the repair and the as-built structure revision generated at MLRSO receipt? Environment – IFS Cloud 24.1Create and release an MLRSO for a serial-tracked repair part. In Shop Order → Materials, issue the component part representing the repair part. Go to Shop Order Multilevel Repair Structure, select the repair part node, and add a repair action: Define a serial-tracked part (Quantity = 1), select a repair reason, and confirm. Return to Shop Order → Materials, then: Reserve Quantity = 2 of the component part using Manual Reservation. Issue both reserved serials using Manual Issue. From the shop order header, perform Manual Receive: Enable Auto Report Operations, create a record in Serial Inventory Receipt, and complete the MLRSO receipt. In As-Built Structure, search for the repair part and the received se

Hi all,We have a requirement to apply dual sourcing through the product structure:two different but interchangeable components that should be used in, for example, a 50/50 ratio.Using phase in/phase out doesn’t seem like a good solution, because shifting schedules cause new purchase requisitions to move from product A to product B within the lead times.Dual sourcing via Purchasing isn’t possible either, because the two components are physically different items and therefore must be procured as separate components.Does anyone have a suggestion on how this could be handled within standard IFS Cloud?Thanks in advance!

Hi all,  Question about KanBan circuits. When automatic KanBan circuits are created, automatically a kanban card is created. As far as I understand this card is not being used, correct? What is the purpose this card is created?Seems to me it would be more logical a card would be automatically created when a electronic kanban circuit is created, because in this kanban type a card is needed.  Kind regards, Willem

I want to trigger a workflow when a new batch is added in PartLotBatch. Currently, I'm using a projection to trigger this workflow, specifically PartLotBatchHandling, with the trigger type being "Create New." However, when I test by creating a batch number in a shop order, the workflow isn't triggered, and there are no records in the observation in ‘Watch’. How can I trigger this workflow?Furthermore, the workflow includes an update activity that updates a custom field in PartLotBatch. I think I need to select a projection that can trigger the workflow before I can use that projection for the update operation. 

Greetings! I am trying to add a new component part (FD DRIVE AXLE) to the Configuration Structure, but don’t know how to get it on the “list” of part numbers. IFS APPS10  

Hi,is it clear somewhere which standard FMEA is based on in IFS?e.g. ISO 31000, ISO 31010 or DIN 60812:2018Best Regards,Milanko 

Greetings!I am trying to create a DOP Header in IFS Apps 10. It says incomplete; however I do not see any red exclamation points anywhere that point to the issue. Anybody know why?  

Greetings!Trying to run a interim demand header in IFS apps 10 but the following error keeps coming up. 

Greetings!Anyone know what this means in IFS apps 10? I ran a evaluate rules in interim demand header, but this came up  

Greetings!I ran a Interim Order in IFS apps 10. However I keep seeing the errors below regarding “no value” However, when I look into the Part Config I do see values. 

In IFS Cloud, mass reservation of Shop Orders fails completely if any Shop Order in the batch encounters a material shortage.This issue occurs when the part has “Allow Many Lots per Component” = FALSE.Even if other Shop Orders have valid inventory, they are not processed.The system stops the entire reservation process and shows an error only for the failing Shop Order.As a result, planners must manually reserve each Shop Order, which is not feasible for large volumes. The error: Does anyone else follow the same mass reservation process and encounter this issue—where the entire process stops due to one Shop Order failing (e.g., because “Allow Many Lots per Component” is set to FALSE and there's a material shortage)?If so, how do you overcome this and successfully reserve a large number of Shop Orders at once? Prabashwari

In the product structure, it is possible to set a default value for whether a component item is a standard planned item, but in the configuration structure, there is no default setting for whether a component item is a standard planned item. 

I have a question regarding an electronic Kanban circuit. Is it possible to directly deduct the inventory to a cost center once the transport task has been executed, instead of transferring it to a location? This is to prevent incorrect stock levels on the shop floor, particularly for small packaging materials and fasteners. I would like to add the cost of these materials to the product cost by applying a surcharge.

I have a shop order where there is no standard material cost showing up. I have looked at other parts with the same operation and those do have the costs as expected, but even historically, this one part without the standard material cost doesn’t appear to ever have had it on the shop orders for previous runs. I’m assuming this is a setting on the part somewhere, but I am unable to find anything. Has anyone else run into this before, or know of a setting that controls the standard cost on shop orders? The other cost buckets have standard cost present, it is just the materials costs missing. I have highlighted where the material costs normally show up below: 

Hello, On the DOP structure, all DOP are close, All Shop Order are also closed, exept one. Still at Started status. I guess it has been restarted. How can I proced to close this shop order. Thank you for your help.  

Hello,In Posting Control settings there is a possibility to use Control type C83 - Location Group for M1 Posting Type. This means when I move Part from Location Group 1 to Location Group 2 Warehouse accounts (M1) could be different.Currently FIFO method doesn’t support FIFO pile usage for movements transactions. Instead it uses average cost.As a result we get incorrect balances on Account (M1).Example:Receive 2 pcs | Cost 50 | Location 1 | Account 1620Receive 2 pcs | Cost 58 | Location 1 | Account 1620Move - 1 pcs | Cost 54 | Location 1 | Account 1620Move +1 pcs | Cost 54 | Location 2 | Account 1625Issue -1 pcs | Cost 50 | Location 2 | Account 1625Account 1625 has balance 4, but real quantity on the Location 2 is 0.Attached you can find screenshots for settings and transactions.Resume: we can’t use FIFO method in connection with C83 - Location group posting control at the moment. BUT: our customer works exactly in described way and it needs FIFO in moves transactions very much.Request:

It appears that the set up of a production line allows for the entry of more than 1 outbound locations on a production line but I cannot devise a reason why I would want more than 1 outbound location.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

We have about 20 timeclocks and they all appear to have the same time which is about 3 minutes behind the correct time.  The servers all show the correct time and the desktops running them all have the correct time so is there somewhere in IFS to adjust the timeclock time?

Greetings!I have every line filled out in my Interim Demand Header, but is still shows incomplete. I made sure the Part Config is in released status. Everything looks good, how do I fix it?
