Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

We recently began utilizing IFS from a manufacturing stand point.  We have run into our first scenario where a customer is providing a Sub Component for the Shop Order to be included.  Does anyone have a good process for this?     Thank You

I recall I posted this in December but did not get a response and cannot find the original post. We used to use the IFS Integration to P6 however due to Oracles licensing changes we can no longer afford the license so are looking to create a custom interface. Therefore we are looking for documentation on the IFS integration API’s (PROJX) but have so far drawn a blank. This has become quite urgent as we would rather not investigate / write everything from scratch.   It would be good if we could understand what we can/ cannot use by way of the API's, which ones call Primavera API's etc. and therefore understand what we need to avoid. Thanks in advance

We would like to change the sort on the Manual Issue Material screen to be by Receipt Date.  We can go in and do the sort, save the profile, but it still resets back to the original sort, which is the quantity on-hand.  Is there a way to change this or set it to a different default?  

Can somebody please help me with change of lot batch using shop order method or any easier method which can be used to change from one lot batch to another ?

if the shop order has operation of assemly. how to determin the assembly work hours? we tried to input the work hours in the collum of “labor factor”, the start date is not calculate with it. but the lead time can calculate based on labor factor(when we set it up in “lead time calculation basis”). Dont you think it is a conflict? what would you suggest to build up a shop order with only assembly operations? thanks!

We have a custom event that executes on a change to APPROVAL_ROUTING_TAB.  The problem for us is we don’t want that to execute when the reason the record changed in the Approval_ROUTING_TAB is that a prior step in the approval process was deleted.  (Users are supposed to remove steps from the bottom up to avoid this but frequently forget.) Is there a way I can tell that?  Do other fields besides LINE_NO get updated when a prior step is deleted?  Would it work to add an outer IF statement on the Event Action SQL code something like If &NEW:LINE_NO<&OLD:LINE_NO AND (All other fields New = Old) then  --skip the action because prior step was deleted. else --insert the existing sql code here end if;

Can we restrict employees to report time only for the operations which they are connected through labour classes without using competency profile functionality? If possible, please explain the set up.

Dear All,   I have created DOP header from customer order. I closed all the supplies generated from DOP. Now when I am checking Part Qty Delivered in Demand tab of DOP header, it is showing as 5 although I have not delivered in customer order . Why in DOP header is coming is part Qty delivered as 5. It should be 0 as per my understanding since Customer Order has not been delivered yet.   Thanks! BR Cheers to IFS

Hi all,   This is my third problem i have posted and so far I’ve had 100% success, so i’m hoping this one will get solved too.   As you can see from the chart below, the data is being sorted by the y axis, as in the higher value or greater amount. I actually want the x axis to be sorted in weeks. In this example i’d want it to look like   06-2020, 07-2020, 08-2020 and last 09-2020.       Any ideas?    

When looking at the Engineering Part Navigator I can see the Engineering  Revision for the structure that am reviewing.  When I create an equipment object I provide a Part No: for the piece of equipment.   How do I know the Engineering Revision for the Part that is linked to the Equipment?  

Using IFS10 When you go to  connect an object to a Change Request you are prompted to with the following screen:   We would like to be select documents as connected Object’s in this screen. Does anyone know if that is possible?

We have a Customer Order (CO) It has a Customer Order Line (COL) for a manufactured part that isn't in stock That line is connected to a Shop Order (SO) The Shop Order has a line (SOL) for a manufactured part that isn't in stock MRP finds that Invent Order shop order line and creates another Shop Order (SO2) CO --> COL --> SO --> SOL --> SO2 How do I link the whole chain? How do I determine whether any given Shop Order is for a true customer demand, versus whether it's just to satisfy a safety stock?  

Using IFS10    The Change Request screen has 2 required fields out of the box.    CR Level and CR Type.   Is it possible to make these fields not required?

This question is raised by a customer asking how the PDM tool works and how to import CAD data into the IFS engineering module. Please assist if there is any guidance or link to share
