On the Engineering Part Revision screen, IFS provides a RMB option called Copy Services. When clicked, a dialogue box is shown which allows the user to specify a Source part number, and then select if they want to copy the Structure, Documents, or Characteristics (or any combination there-of).In IFS Apps 10, I can use this function to copy Characteristics (attributes, values, and Info) from one Eng Part Rev to another, but when i try the same in IFS Apps 9, the option for Characteristic is always greyed out. Details of my process are as follows…Open the Engineering Parts screen and create 2off new parts…    Part No: RHU-TEST-111,    Part No: RHU-TEST-222, Open the Engineering Part Revision scree

How can I identify common parts across various Product Structures 

Hi, Does ‘Planning Alerts - Shop Order’ need to be configured (if so, how) before this page is useful?   I’ve done partial testing by selecting ‘Approve Planning Alert’ for what is deemed as ‘Alert - High’. No changes  occurred to the orders/parts question. At least, not according to the history of said orders.   I’m not sure what to expect with this page, i.e. is this anything like actioning exception messages in other MRP vendors? What is the scope of these alerts?    many thanks, Jay

Hi all,Apps10 has this nice new feature called ‘operation block’ for splitting reported time between multiple shop orders. But it does not seem to be working on the materials. Hence, how do we issue material the same way to multiple shop orders (and unissue afterwards)? 

Hi all, I’m scheduling an entire product, to be manufactured from scratch,  with MRP (Apps 10) and APB.How can I plan the upper levels of the bill, i.e. the assembly parts, to start only when the component pieces are projected to be available based on their CBS scheduled finish dates. So, the shop order for part .’..GA’ has an Earliest Start (as found in the header of the order) of much greater than whenever the requisition was accepted. Typical product:Level 0 = General AssemblyLevel 1 = Sub-assembliesLevel 2 = Piece Part Requirements   Our capacity constraints are in making the piece parts (L2) which are time-consuming operations. Hence, I need to finitely schedule that list of parts in APB based on resource loading then, schedule the upper-levels to start based on the projected availability of L2. Tying materials with ‘Operation No.’ in ‘Product structur

Hello,We have a question regarding fulfillment dates and feedback loops.We create a customer order for an item and put a planned ship date of 3 days from today Site MRP is run later and determines we will need to build the item and manufacturing lead time (and purchasing lead times) dictate it will take 3 weeks to buildIs there a mechanism in IFS that will alert (or modify) the original customer order that the original date is no longer feasible? Or are custom events or reports the only method?

Hi all, Can I get a reference or manual for how to execute MS and then tend to any messages that may occur. What is the name of the page on IFS? thanks,Jay

Hi all,  How can I update Need Dates for Shop Orders, in the event the Required Date for the independent demand against the top-level is changed?For instance, a product could be given a Required Date of next month. MRP then calculates backwards to determine the date at which each material in the bill must be available to salsify said date, using the component lead time (unprotected). I take it this is how Need Dates are calculated. But, if the business has a change in priorities, and we decide to amend our master schedule, I’d like to find a way to update the raised/released/started orders based on us having manually edited the Required Date.That way, when APB is executed over a group of orders, taking Need Date as a means to determine sequencing, it can reflect changes in our priorities at the top-level.Is there a report to provide this alignment? Any data requirements? As of now, we are not using pMRP or DOP. Just IFS Apps 10 (with APB for CBS Sc
