Hi,Is there any page or report in IFS that shows full traceability for lot/batch-tracked parts?Our top-level part is serial tracked, and all components/subassemblies are lot/batch tracked, including raw materials. Lot/batch tracking is order-based.The main goal is to have something that shows the full path from finished goods (serial tracked) to the raw materials used (lot/batch tracked). Many thanks 

Hi, is it possible to change the supply of a DOP order from manufactured to purchased? A part in in my structure is manufactured. However, due to capacity constraints,, I want to purchase it. What’s the easiest way to do this update in the DOP?

We can define for both Work Centers and Labor Classes whether they are going to use Finite or Infinite Capacity. Is it recommended as best practice that these 2 settings be aligned?If for whatever reason we need to have one value set to Finite Capacity and the other set to Infinite Capacity, which of the two will have precedence.What would the impact of this scenario be if we were to use Capacity Requirements Planning 

We have a availability control on parts in one warehouse.  The availability control is set to Nettable, not auto reservation, not manual reservation, not order issue, scrapable, allow reducing (on Part Counting Control), all allowed for part movement control and non-order issue.  For some reason we can’t create a cycle count report for this warehouse location.  It looks like it is due to the availability controls on the part but I need to verify that is the case.  Can anyone confirm my suspicion or help me figure out why these will not pull on a cycle count report.  We used not counted in zero days to generate the report.  We are in IFS Apps 10 UPD21.

HelloIs it possible to duplicate inventory part to new inventory part with structure and routing?Br,Kimmo

I'm facing an issue when i want to delete some inventory parts from IFS V10 or Aurena.I get the following message and i don't understand why. "Cross Ref Fci Acq Origin".An idea about the exact meaning and reasons?Thanks a lot for your help 

Dear Community,We are currently figuring out the best way to use the possibility of parking a shop order.Does someone know how to connect a change order to a parked shop order ? When clicking on the drop-down menu of change order no, there is no data whereas we have change orders in the table.  Thanks for your help 😊 

A quick functional question related to DOP which I encountered with one of the customers. Questions: In APP9 DOP orders have the non-consumed items with the quantities. More specifically, unlike in APP8, when we bring in DOP structures in APP9, the structures come in with quantity for all non-consumed components. Like your advice and view point on this regards.

Hello, I have begun using Serial tracking for parts in IFS Apps 10. However, I have noticed an issue with Shop Order analysis. It appears that if you define 100% checking on a Control Plan, it will require that each Serialized part is accounted for on EACH Shop Order Analysis. This becomes a significant issue if you report parts and generate another analysis. As an example, if you have a SO with a Lot Size of five and you reserve your serial numbers on the Shop Order. You then generate an analysis, and select all five serial numbers, you will have to perform checks for all of them. There is no way around this, you cannot cancel incomplete lines and finish the Analysis. I have tested reporting 3 pieces of the lot and creating another analysis. However, the results are the same, the system is looking for 5 serial numbers still, even though 3 have already been assigned to the reported pieces. I'm not understanding the intended functionality, it seems to crea

Hi all,After upgrading from IFS Cloud 23R2 to 24R2 we realized that the component usage factor in the configuration structure is now validated to be between 0% and 100%. This causes issues on the user experience because they will no longer be able to save modifications on structure lines with component usage factors > 100. We have several components which currently have a factor > 100%, e.g. for custom cable lengths which can be configured and the base length of 1 meter will be multiplied by the configured value. If the average desired length is for example 5 meters, the component usage factor would be 500% to calculate the correct demands for the components based on the planned quantities from master scheduling.Does anyone know what the idea behind the limitation between 0 and 100% is? We could just deactivate the validation on the clients and as a quick fix, but are afraid, that there are any consequential errors because of this change.Than

Hi colleagues,It’s interesting that I can see that Lot usage doesn’t guarantee link with appropriate cost.What am I doing wrong?Example:Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 50 | lot 3107-01Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 56 | lot 3107-02Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 59 | lot 3107-03Inventory issue 1 | qty 1| unit cost 50 | lot 3107-03Frankly, I expected unit cost 59 because of the lot 3107-03.Attached are settings and transactions fragments. 

In a MRO Shop order, we define the quantity of a material demand in the  “Qty Per Assembly’ field. when we try to reserve the material , the system allows to reserve more than the qty mentioned in the Qty per Assembly field. at this moment system only throws an information message.  after the first issuance of material, system allows to directly issue any quantity of material ( based on the availability in inventory ) to the shop order. at this point of time, system doesn't throw any error. Is there any way to configure the system to stop this behaviour such as site level setting to control it for MRO flow.As my understanding this is a standard functionality required for Batch Process Manufacturing. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello IFS community,I dont see the difference between tardy orders and passed due orders in MSO. (illustation attached)I looked at the start, finish and need dates but i dont see a logical conclusion.Can someone help me pleaseThanks in advance 

Hi,I have a part with four routing alternates, each of them using a Min Lot Size Based Qty and each of these alternates have an operation connected to a different Work Centre. The Phase In Date  for the routing and Validity Period are set to 25th July.I ran the MRP and CRP and here’s the error message I get when trying to convert a Shop Order Requisitions into a Shop Order. The Work Centre has capacity for that date-the total time for this shop order proposal would be less than an hour-.What did I do wrong ? 

Hi,We have a factory where we blend chemicals, we have four blenders of various sizes.I’ve created a Work Center and added the four blenders as Resources. I’d like to limit the lot size-in a shop order- each resource can handle. E.g. Resource B can’t handle a shop order of 5000 litres as it can only contain 1.000litres. Thanks for your help.   

HelloI need to scrap a component with a serial number on a production order. How can I indicate which serial number should be scrapped? Thank you for your help.

Is there a way in IFS Cloud to set an item as default as non-consumed at part level instead of doing this at the product structure level?If not, where in IFS cloud can done a mass update for all the product structures the articles is used in. 

Greetings! Does anyone know how to create a “folder” in sales rules to put multiple one lined rules into? I have a picture below of a “blue folder” that I was wondering how to create just to make the sales rules a little more organized in Apps 10  

When you have a shop order with materials is there any way that we can aggregate the materials to one handling unit and store as Pallet, Container etc.

Greetings!I ran a “evaluate rules” on a Interim Demand I created. I received the following error but do not know what it means or how to fix it. The error is stated as” Formula Execution” It lists out a long “Decode” sequence with the tail end of it stating “INTO:result from Dual ORA-01476 divisor is equal to zero” I have no idea what that means  

We have an issue where Parts are being reserved to a Customer Order (via scheduled Create Customer Order Reservations job) 24 hours before the parts were produced on the Shop Order for the same Parts. I have a copy Pick List referencing the lot batch from the Shop Order, and the final step of the Shop Order wasn’t reported and the Parts received into stock until more than 24 hours after the reservation took place. As far as I can tell there was no partial Shop Order Reporting and the full quantity on the Shop Order was received into stock at the same time, but 24 hours after the goods were reserved. There did not seem to be any pegging of Customer Order to Shop Order and the CO Supply Code was Invent Order.  Is there any way that a batch can be reserved and appear on a pick list, prior to being reported on a Shop Order?

Please advise if there are any limitations on the Tree View in Part Navigator?We have found a difference between the child data shown in the tree view vs the child data shown in Consists of:6 Child Rows are not shown in the tree view but are present in the consists of structure. When using sort code order (which was the initial assumption that it had reached a limitation), it shows that most are at the bottom of the Sort Code but NOT ALL. Why would these views be different?Is there a limitation on number of rows shown on the tree view? Thank you in advance

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?
