Hello Community,We are using IFS Version 8.We are observing  opening of shop orders after closing then successfully.What will be the issue.  

Hi All, I’m not sure exactly how to word this, but I’m hoping someone can help.I have a finished good part that I’ve set to have a safety stock. MRP is kicking out shop order requisitions, but I would like to have the requisitions automatically released to shop orders instead. The part isn’t Master Scheduled. I’ve tried a few settings on the Inventory Part with no luck. Does anyone have any advise on how I could accomplish this?

When I move SO in APB they end of dropping off the list and I have to close and open APB to get it back.  This started happening in 2021, was wondering if maybe something with yearend calendaring was the issue or another item that I could look at.  Right now the product is unusable to us until I can resolve this issue.

Dear Support,  Am gating this error while loading the report for IFS business, Please advise.  

Is there a way to refresh/update the attributes globally or multiple parts at the same time. If a technical class has been updated with new attributes, characteristics data of the connected parts need to be updated one by one within the RMB “Refresh Attributes” for those parts to be updated with newly added attributes. If there are hundreds/thousands of parts been connected to the same technical class and need to be updated, this is huge time consuming. Is there any option to do this globally or multiple parts at the same time ? Or refreshing server cache would update it ? Thank you in advance ! Thushitha 

We are running into errors when we are trying to receive a RMA where the items was serialized between being sold to customer and coming back in as a return.   Anyone know how to make this work

Hi All, I am having a inventory part with “Online consumption” option as shown below.  Further, MS Level 1 promised method for the inventory part is “Unconsumed Forecast”   When I create a  CO with supply Code “Internal Purch Trans” , It is not allowed to save the CO line and it seems it evaluate with the  “Unconsumed Forecast” of CO header site.

Hi,If the Shop Order has a Weighted Average component, you can’t Cancel it even after revers all the transactions and perform Transfer Inventory Transactions. Feels like the correct functionality due to revaluations happening with Weighted Average components each time when cost is changed.But would like to know the real logic behind this.Cheers,Aan

We’re on APPS10 UP6.   I’ve configured the IFS History Log to show changes to a specific field on the inventory Part.  The logging works and as an administrator I can see all changes,  but when a user on the Inventory Part does View - Record History  they can only see the changes they made not the field changes that another user made.  To me that defeats the purpose of the Record History - to see who changed a field and to what value.  If I set system Privilege = Administrator in their Role, then they can see changes from all users.  But we don’t want to give Administrator Access to any users.   Is this by design or is there a setting in the Roles that allow this action without setting as Administrator?   I’ve tried to give access through the role but can’t get it to work. 

In our production process we would like to have a different routing after each 50 units which are produced. This alternate routing should send the produced items to an external control center (outside operations) is there a way to implement the requested process in standard IFS. The lot size will not be higher than 10 pcs at the time. So, the alternate routing should be triggered based on the cumulative units produced.

Hello,I am attempting to create scheduled count reports that display 10 records per report. The issue with this is that most of the rows in every count report are for zero quantity part numbers / locations. Is there a way to exclude the zero quantity records? Thank you,Matt

I have a team of engineers who belong to a company, “VISA” which is comprised of two sites “VP100” & “VP110”.When the team are trying to assign an engineer manually to the resource tab of “Single Page Report In Work Order” the engineers available in the list are only those that are assigned to the site at that time rather than the full list, there are seven engineers in total, the attached screenshots capture 4 engineers assigned on one site and 3 engineers on the other.Is there any way to configure this to have visibility of all seven regardless of site? If not, what is the best or prescribed way of allowing the engineering team to switch an engineers site? Through accessing the “Organization Basic Data”?Many thanks,Matt

Is there a way to prevent special chars from being entered into IFS fields by users? For example, percent sign %, ampersand &, underscore _, etc. I seem to remember there being a basic data / system setup screen in IFS whereby you can list characters which you want to be “disallowed”, but I don't remember the name of the screen that holds this system setup/ basic data setting, and haven't been able to find reference to it in the help system. Thanks in advance,

Dear Forum, We are trying to use the Compatible Unit, with workorders (MWO) and the PSO to generate Splittable Work Orders (orders that take longer than a working day, e.g. the PSO will plan a workorder that has an operation of 40 hours on 5 different days of work containing 8 working hours). While testing the splittable workorders (PSO V6.5.0.27, IFS APPS V9.0.52.0 and mWO 3.16.2.1) we encounter a problem when trying to finish a splitted workorder (so finish one day of work, NOT THE ENTIRE WORKORDER).We see that the PSO has a workorder status 68, which means that the visit is complete, so one day of work is complete, we miss this workorder status in IFS APPS V9, can someone help us with this? Thanks in advance. Kind Regards,Sander Olsman
