Is there a way or method to record the number of hours an operator worked in a production floor environment that was not actually clocked in to shop order.

Hello,I am trying to enable automatic reservation and backflush upon shop order receipt (operation approval) in Shop Floor Workbench (IFS APPS 10 UPD 23).The product structure is set up to automatically reserve and backflush from a specific location and connected operation. Everything was working fine until I enabled lot tracking, and now it’s returning the error message: “There are not enough reservations for the tracked part. It must be reserved before it is issued, as the parent part is multilevel tracked.” I know I can get around this by right-clicking the material line and selecting “Reserve”, but I don’t want the operators to have to do that. This process occurs in the middle of a production line, so they’d have to Reserve upon each receipt, as not all of the material would be available at the start of the Shop Order. I’d like the system to automatically calculate, reserve, and backflush the exact quantity of material required upon each partial receipt/op

Hello, I am using IFS Cloud 24R1 and we use SFWB to generate QA analysis from a manufacturing Control Plan. It appears that the new way to enter results is through a guided workflow that steps through each check and provides a pass/fail after clicking the checkbox. While this is beneficial, we are seeing that it can add a significant amount of time if you have a Control Plan that has 30+ checks. The table view in IEE made it easier to enter results quickly. Are there any other ways to modify the process for entering an analysis results to streamline the process? On average, we do 2,000+ analysis per week, so any method to increase the ability to enter results quickly would be beneficial. Thank you!

24.2.0What determines the Batch Size by Weight for the default Recipe Alternate ‘*’? I am seeing behavior I cannot troubleshoot.My Company is setup to use lb as its Weight Unit of Measure (this should not be a factor, though).I have a user-defined unit of measure as below. 1 short ton = 907.18474 kg.My Part uses this unit of measure as below.My Site is set to default enter recipe by Weight Share.My inventory part is a Recipe part that uses this unit of measure.In the Recipe Structure, the alternate ‘*’ that is created when the Inventory Par

Hi all,I am quite new to IFS Cloud 24R2 and I would like to ask if it is possible to add CF to Routings - OPERATIONS.  When i run “Page designer” i can see the name of the entity: RoutingOperation.Am i right???  But I am not able to find this entity in “Entity Configuration”. The only entity simmilar is RoutingOperationList and it says: “This Entity cannot have Custom Attributes”.  Is it really impossible to add CF to “Routing” - “OPERATIONS”??Thank

Hello,I am encountering an issue when attempting to prepare the transfer of a template structure to Manufacturing (from the "Manage Template" page). The procedure is executed through background jobs, but I receive the following error:"Part already exists as a master part and is not a position part. To resolve the issue, you need to either remove the existing master part or change the catalog number in the template structure, and then perform a retransfer.ORA-20110: PositionPartReference.PARTALREADYEXIST."For some structures, I was able to resolve the problem after noticing that the part already existed as an Inventory Part. Since the transfer process is supposed to create Inventory Parts, the pre-existing ones were blocking the transfer.By deleting the stored Inventory Parts linked to the structure, I was able to successfully prepare and complete the transfer to Manufacturing.However, this meth

Is there a way to reuse a serial number for a part? For instance, a part serial record was created from a shop order and received as Part 1000 with a Serial No of 200200. The serialized part was then delivered to a customer.The serialized part was later returned from the customer and disassembled. The physical unit no longer exists but the part serial record does. A new shop order is created and we want to receive the finished good as Part 1000 and Serial No of 200200. But we can’t because that part serial already exists. So what I’m asking is, is there a way to have two part serial records with the same part number and serial number? I know those fields have to be unique but I wasn’t if you had any suggestions on how to make this possible. Thanks!

Hi Community,I was trying to approve a FMEA and getting the error below:Anybody knows how to fix this and get the FMEA approved? I was unable to find an option to update or calculate the Max Risk Priority Number.

Community,We are settting up production routing for BPP plates production. the standard batch is 100 PCS. there are 2 work centers. Full batch of 100 PCS of plates will not be moved to the second work station till the full batch is completed.We have the routing set up, but it looks to us that the full batch is through WC one plate by one plate in sequential order . We would like system to calculate the lead time of the whole batch for the first work center, then the whole batch move to the second WC. How we could make it happen in IFS? Thank you.

Hello everyone,This is an urgent matter, as our project is approaching a go-live date.I'm facing an issue in the Workflow Configuration where I'm trying to use a Service filter to make an eForm appear only for a specific request, triggered when clicking Start Work. However, I noticed that the Service filter is being ignored, and the eForm appears for all requests, regardless of the Service selected.Test ScenariosScenario 1: I configured the eForm to appear only for requests with Service ID = 3.   I created two requests: one with Service ID = 3, and another with Service ID = 21, both using the same Customer.

Greetings!I was performing a Interim Demand Header evaluation and an error came up. Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? This is run on IFS Apps 10 

Hi Team, Is the standard functionality available to use the Shop Floor Workbench through Bar code scanner. For example, starting the clocking or stopping the clocking using Bar code.

Hi new in 24r1 SU4When approving/receiving a Shop Order where we receive more than the planned lot size, we get this "error."The material lines look like this: For the inventory part:This worked in 22r2. What am I missing?

We’re trying to support a business process in which a Product is delivered to a customer, but if there’s a problem with it, under some circumstances the Product will be replaced with a new one, and the original will be returned, remanufactured and at some future point resold to a different customer.However we can’t create Shop Orders or Shop Order requisitions as when we try to specify the Order or Requisition type as Remanufacturing the system generates an error message telling us there is no Product Structure Header for the Product as a Remanufactured Part.I can go to the Inventory Part and change the Part Type to Remanufactured but the original Manufacturing Product Structure is still valid.I can go into the Product Structure itself and create a new Alternate but that is still for Manufacturing I can create a New Part Revision and try to use that to create a new Product Structure to remanufacture the part giving it the same Phase In and Out dates as th

24.2.1On the first receipt (i.e., partial) of a FIFO shop order where the operations are using a Fixed Resource Share and are being reported through auto reporting, I cannot determine how the Machine Cost is calculated.Setup:Manufactured part = FG1, valuation method = FIFO. Routing op 10, WC A, 1 unit/hour, fixed resource share = 0.3. Routing op 20, WC B, 1 unit/hour, fixed resource share = 0.3.

When IFS Applications 10 users use the IFS Enterprise Explorer link in Chrome,If the extension is not available, 'ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application' is downloaded.Is this just to bring up the IFS login screen?Does it work for other functions as well?

We’re working with a client in the Medical Equipment Industry who need Quality Management in their solution. However with Control Plans, this requires us to define in the Acceptance Sampling Parameters which ISO Standards are to be used.There are 3 predefined as values within the system:ISO 2859-3:2005, ISO 2859-1:1999, ISO 3951-2:2013However the client insists that they also use ISO 13485:2016, but we can find no way of including this can anyone suggest a way in which we can get this added?

When using the APB, it appears to be ignoring the “Queue Time” field on Shop Order Operations when performing a reschedule. Is it true that this field is not considered when the APB schedules operations?The APB will determine and insert a “CBS Queue Time” when it [re]schedules based on resource/labor constraints. However, we are seeing this CBS Queue Time does not appear to consider the [manually entered] “Queue Time” field on the shop order operation at all. We would like to use “Queue Time” in conjunction with the APB but are so far unsuccessful. If this field is not used/considered by the APB we may need another way to manually add queue time while also doing CBS via the APB. (It may be possible to use Transport Time as a possible alternative to Queue Time if the APB considers Transport Time…)  

Hello everyone, I would like see what your thoughts are out there for Product Structures vs Recipe Structures in pertaining to Food Manufacturing. As a former customer and in consulting I have I’ve seen that companies start with recipes and then decide to use product structures instead. I see product structures as a simpler way to manage structures and better stream line IFS processes avoiding managing structures in two different places. Also, consider integrations to IFS (ex., Optiva).Let me know Pros and Cons.Thanks team! 

Hi,A user noticed on the Material Requisition Header the total amount/base is showing zero on some MR and some show the actual amount when in a Closed state.What is causing to show the zero on the material requisition header?I tried a few transactions and what I noticed is the amount will show in a released state but as soon as you issue it sets it back to zero.Not sure how some still keep the amount after the MR has been issued and in a state of Closed and some will reset to zero after its been issued and in a closed state We just recently upgraded to cloud 24r2 from APPS 10. Any help would be great :) 

How are the order based lot numbers created/assigned for items produced on a production schedule????  It appears to be just using a counter somewhere!  But where is this set?

Community,how to understand below error message? what action is the user doing?this part has Availability Check checked at Inventory Part level.Thank you.

I have a Shop Order where one of the materials is Inventory Part with type Remanufactured. Will MRP create requisition for such a part?Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am using IFS Apps 10 and we have enabled Control Plan Mandatory and Create Analysis Mandatory in the QA controls. This has been working as expected, however, we have to disable the controls when a Rework Shop Order is opened. As an example we need to Rework PN 123456. So a SO is opened for it and the Rework flag is checked. The Operations are modified to suit the rework (deburr, sanding, etc.). All original operations are removed and the rework operation(s) are added. All original materials are removed and the top level part number is added (for rework) to the material. The connected control plan still has all the checks for the original steps, which I mark as not included. However, when you attempt to receive the Shop Order, the system errors out stating that is expecting you to complete checks for operations that you have removed and checks you have not included. I have found no way around this other than to disable the QA controls, report the rework

Hi Folks We have three Strength Factors set up in IFS10 (0, 1 & 2) but nobody can tell me what they are used for, could anyone shed some light on this filed or point me in the direction of some documentation to help explain its use? It does change the Duty/Excise payable amount but I can’t work out the calculation.Any help would be appreciated
