Production schedule question.  I have a production schedule part that can run on 3 different lines. On the three production lines upon which I can run the part, I use a percentage of .33.33 and .34.  If the total amount of the part to be produced obtained from the part's master schedule is not easily divisible by 3 and I run MS Calc, I am getting a mystery 1 unit production schedule.  Can anyone explain this?  I think it is due to the fact that the total doesn't yield a whole number when multiplied by the percentage and yields a 1 piece production schedule to ensure that the system is planning for ALL of the requirement.  For example, MS says we need 903,168 pounds.  That means production line A (33% and Line B (33%) get 298,045 each (remainder of .44 ponds each) and line C gets a production schedule of 307,077 pounds (remainder of .12 pounds.  The remainders of all 3 lines add up to 1 pound.  Both the production schedule item and the component item have quantity calc

In IFS Cloud documentation under NATO Stock Number (NSN) it states the following:It is possible to connect the parts in IFS/Part Catalog to a NSN. The following rules are applied in connecting parts to a NSN:Can someone point me in the right direction to do this, I can’t find it and nothing comes up when I do a search Thank you

When working with Engineering, there are a couple of defaults that can be set:For the majority I have an explanation, but for POS and REPLACE_REVISION, I can't find any documentation. Anyone that can help me out, what the function is of these defaults?

Dear Community,I’m trying to create Shop Orders for subcomponents using DOP automatically  but I’m missing something. I want to ensure that when I create a Shop Order for a parent part (e.g. C), the system would automatically generate Shop Orders for its subcomponents (e.g. A and B) in the required quantities. Supply types for all parts are set to DOP. But DOP Header and DOP Structure are not automatically generated.What am I missing? Thank you.

 HIWe are currently reviewing and validating costing behaviour in IFS Cloud, and we need detailed insights into the following specific system cost parameters: KEEP_MCA_SNAPSHOT USE_START_DATE_FOR_SO_VAR UPD_INV_EST_MTRL_COST COPY_WC_LC_COSTS COPY_SUPP_DELOH For each of these parameters, we are looking for the following information: Purpose & Functionality What is the role of this parameter in the costing process? System Behaviour How does enabling this setting influence standard cost roll-ups, cost updates, or transaction recording? Activation Requirements Are there specific modules, data configurations, or s

We have designed Order Report Excel Output, when we are running the report error is coming "PDF Not Generated" in Aurena & "Stream was not readable" through the IEE. It's a Data Rendering Limitation. If we are limiting the data less than or equal to 58,000 report is generating. Also, if we are designing the report through the designer then report output is coming in PDF for whole required (Pages 15,000 approximately. I am attaching the screenshot in a sequence for reference

We have multiple situations where shop order pick lists are being generated and the operation is missing leading to components not being picked. All structures have operations connected to them, but these are not being pulled through onto shop orders. I’m wandering whether this is because the product structure that they are called up in is planning method P (phantom)? For information: Pick Lists are created per Work CentreAll shop order material parameters are %Max orders per pick list is 1Include Unconnected material is toggled onPlanning Methods Used for manufactured parts - A and PPlanning Methods Used for purchased parts - B   

IFS Cloud 23.2.9We are managing standardized parts which are certified by an accredited certification.This involves, after qualification, a freeze on the configuration of those parts and only one person in the company is empowered to modify any data on such a part. So, the objective is to freeze (block modifications) all the data we have on master part, inventory part, product structure, routing, purchase part, SFPP and sales part considering that many people can interact on these projections for classic partsAny idea to manage access/rights on many projections but only for some parts ? or is someone already got this need ?Thanks for your help

Hi,Does anyone know a simple way to add a customer field to a IFS Page?In this scenario, I would like to add the “Task Description” field to the “Work Task Posting Analysis” or “Work Task Transactions” page.The Work “Task Description” field is already in the “Work Task Cost” page but it is not an option in the other 2 pages. Not sure why but it would have been only logical to have it there because WT numbers are had to associate with an actual job without the description.Does anyone know how to do this?Henry

I am trying to find a Dormant time between the current executable operation VS last operation in a shop order. One option is I can go to Finish Date and identify but for our business need this might not be enough I am looking for when the operation in sequence was actually touched. Example I have operation 10, 20, and 30. 30 is executable, so I want to know when really the 20 was last touched? - It could be operation itself, material receiving, or last material receive date. My question is, where can I find all those dates in IFS cloud? 

Can we scan the Order No in the Receive Shop Order By-Product WADACO process and retrieve the relevant Shop Order Number?If yes, please advise how to configure the WADACO process to include barcode scanning for the Order No field? Thanks & Best Regards,Thisarani

Dear All,Can more than one quality control plan be added to an inventory item?Can both be active?Kind Regards,

Is there a screen in IFS Apps 10 Aurena to view the historical interruptions that have been logged? I want to see all interruptions and the length that a shop order was on stop for. Thanks!

I would like to report machine time through machine clocking in Shop Floor Workbench (SFWB), but report labor time based on received quantity (if this is possible).  I have set the work center Time Reporting Settings as follows:where Auto Report Labor Time with Qty is set to Always.  When I test this, I start production on the Shop Order through SFWB and select Machine Time only.  I then go to Approve the operation and receive the reserved Lot Batch with Auto Report of Operations selected.However, when I review the Labor and Operation history, there is no labor reported.  I was assuming that having Auto Report Labor Time with Qty would result in labor reported (transaction code LABOR_RPT) per the standard

Hello,For a serialized manufactured part, at a certain operation on a shop order I scrapped 1 part out of 5 (Lot size)Then I want to receive the shop order and I got at this level one serial number part which not activated.But the problem is that I have the possibility to activate the receipt and the message below is not blocking!!This will create many incoherences :for example, in shop floor workbench, it is possible to visualize the scrap

Hello,We are using DOP for configurable manufactured parts. We want to manage the configuration of a lower-level component outside of DOP structure. However, it seems that even if the sub-component doesn't have a DOP configuration profile, the system still generates a requests from the DOP header.Does anyone have experience with this or a potential solution?" Thank 

Hi, We have serialized shop orders (for Lot Size = 1), but one operation may take a few days to complete. With Shop Floor Workbench, we are trying with daily reporting of labour time and quantity. However, the system is not allowing to report a partial quantity reported when it is serialized. Not sure why as we’re not receiving fractional quantities - but merely reporting it so that the system knows the labour time and quantity each day (main objective is so that MSO will adjust the schedule).How does IFS expect to report daily quantity complete when the operations take days to complete and the part is serialized? TIA 

Has anyone come across the scenario where deletion of a Shop Order operation has been allowed where there are existing Labour and/or Operation hours Transactions - albeit that those transactions were at zero cost value so no actual cost incurred or transacted and not GL voucher created?  Just wondering what thoughts are whether this should or should not be allowed?   We were surprised it was allowed …We’re on Cloud now but it’s also allowed in Apps9. Thanks!Linda

Hello, I know that It is possible to create consolidated pick list for shop orders in two ways:use the Create Pick List(s) for Shop Order(s).  Select the relevant shop orders from page Shop Orders and click to create Pick List Report.   Is there a way to create a pick list per WO ? I can’t find any. Thank you !

Hello I have a question about Configuration Usage. Changing the configuration usage to Variant or Option has any effect on system?I have learned that the master schedule does not work for a special configuration id. So i want to understand the reason of using configuration usage option.  Thanks,Fatih YILDIRIM

Trying to create a new config field that would be obtained and calculated from another existing config field. I need the new field to do the following: Sum up on the contents of all records in Table AudAudit of field called Cf$MinQty and then get AVG Qty of the only the rows that are Not Null or Zero.    

Hello community! We are considering use of DOP for our MTO parts.  We have been experimenting with the DOP features and are stumped with the netting.Part X is DOP.In our scenario, we have 1000 units of part X in inventory that is not reserved or pegged to any order. My demand for part X is 5000 units.When I check in DOP, the system is still telling me to create 5000 units, and the DOP system has generated a shop order for this quantity as well.How do I get the order for part X to net against existing inventory and only release an order for 4000 units?I am currently working in IFS Apps 10, moving to cloud in early 2026.Thank you!Robin

Hi everyone,I’m working on setting up approval workflows for a couple of key processes and would really appreciate any examples or insights from the community.I'm specifically looking for examples (templates, screenshots, descriptions—anything helpful) of rolled-out approval workflows for: Creating and configuring new part numbers, including structure and routing setup. Controlling changes to shop order structures and operations, especially when they deviate from the planned alternates. If you've got anything in place—formal or lightweight—that works for you, I’d love to see how others have approached this.Thanks in advance!

Good morning community!  We have a scenario where we have a sub assembly on our PS.  We would like to flatten the PS to move the sub assembly components to direct components of the finished good eliminating the need to transact the sub assembly.  This sub assembly that we want to remove from the PS is used in multiple finished goods (it is a blend of materials).  We want the ability to see demand for the blend (sub assembly) but not actually schedule it or produce it unless we need to put it in barrels to be store in inventory (lot controlled).We have tried phantom parts, but they only seem to explode the materials in the shop order as opposed to the operations.  We want both to be part of the finished good.We have tried putting the blend in our PS as a zero QPA, but had to set the component to ‘allow as not consumed’ to get it to work.  This created an error because it is lot controlled (which it needs to be).And we cannot put both the sub assembly and raw comp
