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

Hi all, We are just now starting to use the Manufacturing Visualizer for our Shop Order Planning/scheduling and haven’t quite advanced to thew APB and CBS processes. Is there a way to display the Shop Order Routing Operation Transport Time on the visualizer? We are using this data as curing time and are reluctant to create a specific line of operation just for curing. Any and all advice will be appreciated.   Regards   Ken

Hi There, Need your assistant,  We had to create multiple Work types for each site ( we have around 10+ Sites) in order to cater business requirement at posting control level. However now each users at sites can see 100+ work types to select even though they want to display around 10+ work types.    Current Workaround for this is create a global search condition and save it to user profile. Users are not educated enough to make this so IT have to logon to their account and do the necessary things    My question is , Is there any chance to create the global search condition at super user level and grant the permission for relevant users without login using their user profile ?   or Any Suggestion please   

We have started using Consignment Stock for Supplier-owned stock. We want to be able to identify such stock within the “Inventory Part In Stock” data. I could join to Inv Trans Hist using the Part_no/contract/Lot_batch_no to get the CO-ARRIVAL record, but at 75 million Inv Trans Hist rows, even forcing an index takes a very long time in an SQL statement. Any ideas as to how I can include/exclude within some of our Inventory Part In Stock reports? We are running IFS2003!

I’m curious what the Parent Part Field is used for on the Material Tab in a Shop Order?  I understand what parent means, but I’m curious who uses that field and what it’s used for, or tied to?  We don’t use IFS as our engineering tool, is that what it would pull from, or?   Thank you!

Hi All, Is there a mobile app for purchase approval on IFS, similar to the MWO for the engineering mobile app.

IFS has support issues under support center. Just wondering if anyone has used this module and if there is any functional document available. Looking at IFS screen help it seems to allow sending email from the support issue, which emails issue journal. However, when user emails reply does it automatically get appended to journal. I am trying to understand if this module is like Zendesk type ticketing system.

Hi, this may be a really simple question but I am accessing the Apps 10 Aurena PPE environment on a chromebook. It works really nice but I can't find an obvious way of accessing  the help. Of course, on a chromebook there is no F1 button and I can't see a link to the help. Please help! Thanks everyone.

The customers that am working with raised the following question. Would like to request your feedback and advice to assist the customer. Description: Project Gantt Performance Issues   To move one activity without saving or scheduling takes 1 minutes and 9 seconds a time.  3 minutes to save saving before scheduling; 1 minute to schedule on only 4 activity changes and a further 3 minutes 17 seconds to save the scheduled changes. Effectively looking at up to 9-10 minutes per overall change and the business currently makes daily changes due to various reasons.  If I had to move 120 linked activities that would be 2 hours work?! Test Scenarios: Open a Project in Gantt view Move Activity and Save Schedule Project and Save

We would like to be able to track ownership of our Product’s within the system.  That way if we ever have a product change we can notify the correct people or groups of people within the organization. Example Product:  Instrument Landing Example Ownership Matrix:         Product Functional Owner = Jane Doe                                                           Product Technical Owner = John Smith                                                           Product Safety Owner = US Safety Team In a perfect world, we would be able to track different people for a Design Product vs an deployed equipment. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

We have a need to send purchase orders to multiple people at the supplier (procurement and quality group for example).  How do we do this with an Event?  We have the same issue with Customer Invoices needing to go to Customers (Procurement, Quality and Finance).  If we have one, we would be able to figure out the other.

Is there any way to implement some sort of approval flow when entering scrap for an inventory part so that if a certain scrap code is used, it then must be approved? Some scrap codes we use need to be verified/looked at, while others are considered normal process types of transactions.   With all that said, we do not (and do not want to at this time) use the scrap functionality from the workbench.

During manufacturing operation(s), it very well may be the case that you'd want to restrict the Manufacturing Employees from re-opening the Shop Orders based on your exact requirement and operating guidelines. In this scenario, you may edit the user profile settings as follows: 1) Navigate to 'Users' screen 2) Click on 'Create New User' 3) Search for the User Identity in question using the Search Option 4) Locate the User Setting enabled for this user (Permission Set) from the navigator 5) Click on this enabled permission set 6) Click on the 'View/Edit Permission Set' link 7) This opens the Permission Set (in more detail) 8) Select the 'Database Objects' tab 9) Enter 'shop_ord_api.open' in the search bar, and click on 'Find' button 10) Select the Database Object(s) - 'Open' and 'Open_' 11) Upon each selection, you may uncheck the method calls pertaining to Open and Open_ against the SHOP_ORD_API as the logical

Hello, A user recently brought to my attention that the ‘Export’ button is missing from the IFS BR ribbon/ toolbar in Excel when the report is run/ exported from App10 IFS IEE. We are currently using version 5.0.8.0. Additionally, the IFS BR ‘Export’ button seems to appear in Development mode when logged in to IFS BR application on PC.  Is the recommended workaround to use the native Excel ‘File → Export’ functionality?
