Hi,Is there a screen visible in IFS where you can see all transactions relating to a Customer Order.For example you could view order status, invoice number, any collections or credits raised against the order?

Hello, I’m trying to figure out what would be the best approach to identify parts that are eligible for discontinuation.  Basically I’m looking for parts that have very low sales over the last couple of years. What tools or methods does everyone recommend here?I saw there was a slow moving parts report in planning but the results didn’t make sense to me. Thank you, Matt

Dear Guys,   Kindly assist us on priorities base that we are plan to migrate data from ifs 2004 to ifs 10. What is basic thinks required , like validation,summerize data etc.We are doing centralize data from different sources system database.All system database have own master data and they not linking to each others.So which base ,we centralize data base in IFS 10.Have anyone expert view , most welcome here.Please help us, or have any ppt or docs about this , please share or give me tips or idea.  

We have seen that whenever we revise a lower level component and set the previous revision to obsolete, every structure where that part is used still shows the obsolete revision level, instead of the latest one.The only way to correct this is to also revise the top level part to then show the latest lower level part revisions in the structure, which is time consuming and burdensome.Is there a way of being able to update the structure of either ‘Active’ or ‘Released’ Engineering Part Revisions which contains obsolete lower level (child) part revisions?

I am looking for a standard delivery note for the materials we ship to our suppliers. I can’t find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

With IFS V10 when we receive shop order with substitute part the as built strcture is empty.  

Hey guys after some help pleaseIs it possible to receipt in goods without inputting batch/serial/lot numbers? and if so how do you do this?

In IFS 10 we have very often, during shorter or longer periods during the day, very bad performance in the shop order cost window. System is just hanging when trying to go from shoporder through RMB to shop order cost and user ends up killing the session.In the overview shoporder costs we have not issues as this data is being updated by the aggregate shoporder cost job but when going to shop order cost by RMB  the same issue appear.The issue is the same regardless of the status of the shoporder (released, closed etc)We have not been able to figure out what is causing these performance issues, have anyone experienced the same issue?

Is it normal that IFS (Apps8) does not make any live control on the lot/batch number when receiving parts into stock from a RMA ?IFS should suggest the different lot/batch no related the customer order line. Today, we can enter a lot No totally different from the shipment.Is there a way to do so ? 

Apps 10: Trying to set up Routing Rules to send Report Designer Report PDF to Connect saving the PDFs off to a Network File Share.  Need to include the order number or invoice number or pick list number etc as part of the file name so users can easily find the PDF.  This should be standard file naming to include the object name for users to be able to locate specific files.  I am not finding anything that shows how to configure this.  Output File set up has the %TAG=ANY_MESSAGE_VARIABLE% option but what this means isn’t explained anywhere in the documentation.  Would be great to have more in depth instructions around these processes.

Hi All Guys.          I am looking best third party migration tool for IFS Application 10.         Client have huge amount of data. I am preferring third party tool in my case.         so please suggest me ,if any lead will be more appreciate. 

Hi all,We have experienced an issue where the visualizer tool tip isn’t updating correctly (sometimes!)An example from some time ago shows that our planner went to the visualizer and hovered over the relevant part of the bar and got this. As you can see the Op Load on Week and Total Operation Load show 5.2The times on the shop order had been amended prior to this check (a day before) to reflect a new Op Load on Week and Total Operation Load of 4.5 so was confused as to why the above was still showing the wrong figures. He had logged out of IFS and logged back in fresh the next day so it wasn’t a refreshing issue. When he had manually run a Schedule Shop Order from the RMB menu on the shop order header it then updated the tooltip to reflect the new time.    The odd thing is that every time I try to replicate the problem it seems to work fine without me having to schedule the shop order however I have had other people report the same issue (very intermittently) so I am wondering if anyon

Dear Guys,  I have one requirement from client side that they want create part number in part master page upto 100 characters.Kindly suggest us that how can possible without using custom field. And these part no flow everywhere in IFS  10.  Anything leads pls let me know. Thanks in advance. 

Is there some documentation or best practices available on Eco footprint and how to get started with this module?As we work with manufacturers and MPS’s connected to the parts (purchase parts) our feeling is that this data is not on the correct level, it should have been on the part - manufacturer level.Part nr stays the same but preferred manufacturer change overtime.Is there something available in IFS for importing material declarations to IFS (standard xml formats ex. IPC1752) 

The Inventory Part in Stock Screen allows you to multi-select lines and the Move with Transport Task option is available. The box that pops-up has all the lines listed and you pick a single location. This however creates a Transport Task for each line. Has anyone else experienced this or have we ran into a bug?  We are on IFS10 UPD8.

I am new to using IFS, I am looking for help on tracking shortages on shop orders. Can I highlight multiple shop orders using the Shop Orders session and see all of the shortages via planning actions (not sure if that’s the right term, I’m not logged in at the moment). I have customers and even myself, who want to see shortages out say 2 months, to see if everything is on order, are there going to be any parts that aren’t arriving in time etc etc. Do I use this session or is there another session or report to use? I can highlight a shop order and review material availability and see just shortages, but this is one shop order at a time.Any help would be greatly appreciated 

The list in the Shop Floor Workbench is very long and the customer will report many operations simultaneously depending on certain parameters. E.g. They want to “Start Production” (clock time on operation) for 6 operations, because they will all use material from the same batch, and then “Start Production” for another 9 operations that will use material from another batch. Can these operations be grouped depending on what unique component batch they will use? And when grouped, so that is not necessary to mark up all the rows, just one - start production at the same time?We are missing group functionality and the column (used for filtering) for the component batch id  Is this possible to implement? If so, how?Or do we use another view, LU and adapt it from there with RMB functionality and so on?Thank you in advance, 

I am looking at how Comment Functionality works for different File types as Redline? currently I have defined “doc” as view and “docx” as Redline type and expect to open comment with MS Word. however I still manually change the Redline copy from “Doc” to “Docx”. The errorI get is “Can not start external Viewer application”. This is just one example, I am trying to find out how Redline app works for each individual file type. for example for a word file,Excel or Autocad? Thanks, Aida.

I used migration job to update the safety stock attributes in the Master part. The mig job was successful but the next morning the safety stock attributes changed back. There is a task for updating safety stock but it is not scheduled and has no history in bk jobs. What can be the reason?  

We have around 10 sites all running in same database.All jobs like MS, MRP and CRP needs to be run daily due to our line of business.We now run in to issues that the “night window” is getting  too small and jobs are not ready in time in the morning.Especially the CRP is taking very long time to run for some sites, up till 90 minutes.Does anybody know what is impacting the CRP execution time the most?Is it the number of workcenters in use,  or the number of shoporder requisitions in the system (master schedules set to create sp for entire horizon) or a combination.Any advise on this would be appreciated.  

Hi,We are Reporting Component Scrap on Shop Order and everytime we report/unreport component scrap, we can see those Scrap/Unscrap Component WIP transactions in Material Transaction History but we don’t see these transactions being posted to GL account. We have a GL account mapped for Scrap and we are running the GL update task as well. Is there a way to track scrap transactions performed on shop order to a GL account?Thank You.

As an ERP IT Business Analyst who helps users set up and figure out new functionality they wish to use, I am a regular user of all the ‘normal’ IFS Help: Process help, Topics, page help, etc. What I am looking for and cannot find is ‘set up’ help or documentation. Example: DDMRP and eventually Manufacturing VIsualizer.  I used to be able to use e-learning for that purpose, since it often started with related basic data, etc. I have checked/searched IFS Technical Docs and Community and did not find documents or guidance there. Is the way of the future to use the available help and Business Process Diagrams to figure out set up? Thanks

A question is raised by one of our customers regarding App75 and App9 functionality. In App9, when we create shop order components which has "Not Consumed" lines with expense parts are no longer showing zero in the following columns: Quantity per Assembly, Comp Qty Req, and Qty Remaining But in App 75 those fields are shown as zeros. Please verify.
