Is it possible to set by inventory part the number of days from receipt into stock that the expiration date needs to be? From looking at the IFS help the expiration date field appears to be a manual entry and can not be auto populated on receiving a shop order. Thanks for your help in advance, Sarah

Hello Community,From where I can check the IFS version 8  total specification(i.e SP …?) we are using.Need your valuable support.

Hello Community,We are using IFS version 8.We are having Inventory parts of below series:-ASPLMOFGThese parts are users by different manufacturing departments.While doing shop orders user of one department is able to create shop order for parts which are of another department.I need to restrict the access for creation of other department parts shop orders from users.Can you provide any triggers code/logic to overcome this issue. 

If the system has more than one location with different expiration dates, does the expire date be set as the issuing hierarchy, for automatic issue (backflush), in manufacturing?

In Manufacturing Shop orders, we want to specify WIP Levels depending on the completion, value addition, Time progress etc. It seems we don’t have a standard solution in IFS Manufacturing. Please advise.  

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

Dears, what solution do you use to automatically fill in data into a control plan? So you measure something with a QC equipment, and the value is automatically added to IFS. Is this something the IoT business connector can do? Thank you,Merten

Hi, I don't fully understand the date logic in the time-phased supply proposals created by IFS for an end-item (in an engineer-to-order setting). Can you outline the key types of dates (or 'offsetting inputs') that figure within scheduling. From specifying when the user desires said item, to all the subsequent dates that are generated after BoM explosion. The 'tools' at are disposal are IFS Apps 10, namely, MRP that executes 'Infinite Scheduler' and 'APB' (our method to CBS schedule items to reflect 'live' capacity constraints such as the current load at a given work centre). I'll provide a brief description of our current practice and raise questions alongside that. If there's any misuse, do say so. Overview: A 'Required Date' is specified when demand is created, used to say when project 'X' is desired. Does this input need to be constrained by a lead time, whether plausible or not? For instance, can you specify the Required Date for X as 1/1/15? I'm not

I have tried adding the Shipment Packing List (SHIPMENT_PACKING_LIST_REP) to the Document Footer in Company > Basic Data > Document Footer > Connect Report tab: On entering  SHIPMENT_PACKING_LIST_REP and pressing tab the Report Title is updated accordingly but not the Component this remains blank and is not updateable.   On clicking Save an error message is displayed ‘The Footer Connection Master does not exist’.   Is it possible to add reports to the Footer Connection Master, if so, how is this done. Thank you for looking. John

After trying to close a Shop Order, we are having ghost reservations which show as a Handling Unit reserved to an order, but the parts were issued to another order and do not exist.  When trying to close out we receive an Inventory Part In Stock error message.  We have tried to un-issue the materials to the location it says it is reserved to, which shows the materials on the Shop Order reservation, but when tying to un-reserve it says the bin cannot be negative.  Looking for any help with this issue as we have multiple orders unable to be closed.   

There are more than one occasions that I have come across that our users define one physical machine in 2 sites expecting to plan shop order operations seamlessly. But this set up sometime leads to very confusing consequences. Example : Company : A Site : X Site : Y Expensive CNC machine is installed in Site X ( defined as a manufacturing work center in Site X as "CNC-X"). But this usually runs under capacity ( lets assume that both sites runs on 8 hr calendar). So The company decides that they can put some shop orders registers in Site Y to be done in the under utilized work center in Site X. Therefore it is decided to define the work center in site Y as " CNC-Y" in IFS. Now lets assume that the manufacturing planner has access to both site X and site Y shop order operations. If you run CRP, since in IFS , CNC is 2 distinct work centers, the capacity available is 8 hr each. Which is not rea

Hi,I need to add a custom dropdown for UoM. Is there a way for me to utilize the stock UoM menu option as my enumeration? I searched for ISO_UNIT but I didn’t see it as an option. I don’t think that I can use a reference because it can be different than the inventory part (or sales part or purchased part, etc) uom.Thanks,Mike  

A member of our sales team created a “Non-Inventory Sales Part,” added it as a line item on the customer order, and now I am unable to transfer the engineering structure since this item is already seen on the inventory side. This is creating a problem because without the structure, which the sales part doesn’t have, we cannot set the structure to buildable and issue shop orders. Is it possible to delete this “Non-Inventory Sales Part?”

Hi all,We often have a scenario like this:We have a shop order for 10 pcs.For that we cut out 1 sheet and purchase a treatment at a subcontractor.We receive the sheet back a cut it out in 10 pcs.Routing:Cut 1 sheet Outside operation 1 sheet Cut 10 pcs The problem is that we cannot ship 1 sheet and make 10 pcs from that. At the moment, we create a extra inventory part for the outside operation, but it is not working well for us.Is there a clever way to handle this?
