Does anyone have experience with incoming customer order that includes configuration data? Our part in IFS is setup with configuration and in the XML file we read in there is included both configuration details, configuration id and spec revision and it matches the data that we currently have in the system. For this part the configuration id and spec revision exist and is valid.Still when trying to create customer order we get error ORA-20110: ConfigurationSpec.NOSPECREV1: No released configuration specification revision found for the date.

We just updated our TST environment to Update 9 of Apps 10.  In doing some testing, we noticed the Characteristics tab on the Inventory Part screen is no longer available, but the Inventory Part Characteristics screen and the Find Inventory Part by Characteristics Assistant is still available.  Wondering if anyone else has seen this when updating?

Hi Everyone, Im a bit stuck on a certain process so wondered if anyone had come across this before and knows how to resolve it. I have created a customer order for internal purposes only - the supply code on these order lines is Shop Order as they need to be manufactured.Once the goods are made I then need to add them to a new customer order and select from Inventory. I have copied the actual order line required into the new order and changed the supply code to Inventory Order however it will not let me manually reserve the items? Any help would be much appreciated. 

After I gave the app owner creadentials to the bellow window, it is directing to the single signning on page.  I can login to the IEE using those credentials.  How can I fix this issue? 

We thought we heard at the last WOCO that there is now in Apps 10 a setting that will automatically stop all clockings at the end of the ‘work week’. So if the last shift of the week is 2nd shift on Friday, for example, it will stop all clocking that are started, in case the operator forgets to do so. I have looked at all kinds of basic data, site settings, calendar setting, system parameters, manufacturing standards and am still missing it. Can someone please point me to where to set it?Thanks

Hi,We have inventory parts that is no longer in use. But we need to keep these parts in shelf as a spare part for customers. My question is where can I define shelf keeping finish time? Is it possible to change the status to “Obsolete” when the time will come that we defined? Thanks.

Just wondered if anyone (in the UK) has experience of managing MOD GFE equipment in IFS. whether its repairs, spares, embodiment items etc etc. Some of this will come in on a CRO but not all of it will and some of it will be held by the business on behalf of MOD. My starting point for tracking is the fact that it will all be flagged as Customer Owned in IFS.There are strict requirements how businesses need to manage and report on any GFE they hold. There must be someone out there who has experience and I would be really interested in understanding how it is being done within IFS.Many thanks

I have some answers for three questions regarding EBoM and MBoM that I like to double check with you, please comment, change, suggest or enhance the answers.Questions are in black and answer that needs to be check are in RED CASE of USE - Import of EBoM to IFS After to import EBoM (Engineering Bill of Materials) to IFS, I’d like to know if the following actions can be doneIs it possible in IFS MBoM to select different authorized alternatives parts? Yes, you can add alternate parts to each part defined in a product structure, either at EBoM (Asset Design) or MBoM (Manufacturing product structure); also you have the concept of a structure alternate defines the state of a configuration structure and represents a slightly different way of making the same part. The differences might be based on the quantity of parent parts being built, the use of acceptable alternate materials, or some other non-standard condition that indicates a different structure. Can you group different subsets of the

Hello all European IFS customers.Is there anyone of you out there that have the same trouble as us to fulfill ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) Waste Framework Directive (WFD). This means send information to SCIP (Substances of Concern In Products). Base for this this information exist in IFS and the module Eco Footprint, But.. IFS don’t have all information and they don't have the interface to export to SCIP out of the box . As this is an European directive we thought IFS should fix this in coming releases, or in an extension,, But the info I got says that they wont do that.Is there anyone else out the that want to join forces to get this done?BrChrister Kindvall

Hi All, I frequently manually run Generate Inventory Part Availability Exceptions throughout the day. It typically took about 2 minutes to run the process as a background job. Recently we patched Oracle and the process has increased to 8+ minutes. Has anyone run into this issue and is there a fix or setting that we’ve overlooked? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I’m looking for a list of recommended methods in IFS for Functional Areas to jump start our work in defining these for SOX SOD purposes. For example, I’m looking for all the methods that can be used to adjust inventory without a Customer Order or Purchase Order in support of a Physical Inventory FA. Any suggestions?

I have a scenario where I've issued Project Inventory to a Work Order and have run Revenue Recognition. The revenue I expected to see was not what I expected to see. It looks like the system is not taking note of the fact that the project inventory was issued to the work order and, therefore, it was not consumed.I retested by issue the material to a Demand and Revenue Recognition DID calculate properly.Maybe it's a bug but perhaps someone can help me with understanding why Revenue Recognition "sees" the issue when I issue to the demand, but not when I issue to the demand of the WO.I"m all ears!Patrick

Hello, I have been trying to find a way to view all raw material that is used at a given work center. Ideally, I have reviewed material usage, component where used, but there does not appear to be a way to search by Work Center. I am hoping that there is an area within the system where this data can be viewed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
