My job includes creating APQP/PPAP packages and sometimes just a basic Process Flowchart, PFMEA, and Process Control Plan. I can see that IFS (8) has functionality for PFMEA, any ideas or guidance on how to use this? We do have access to the PFMEA Module, but have no idea what it does or how. Bonus for being able to create the Process Flowchart and Control Plan.   Thanks, Kris...

Does anyone know if there is a process by which we can undo a customer order delivery for something from a project?  When we try to use Undo Customer Order Delivery, we get an error message - Customer order delivery has not been undone.  Please let me know if additional information is needed to help answer this question.  I’m not sure what else would be helpful.   Thank you.

Hi, I’m reaching out to the community to help me. I want to assess a number of sites as to how mature their PMRP and MRP processes are. Are there any key indicators that would give a good indication of how these sites are managing with MRP?  Such as the number of manual transfers, the number of PMRP orders vs MRP orders, the number of duplicate parts in project inventories, etc. Your help would be appreciated? Thanks guys!

Could someone confirm if we can see shop order load against the “Person” please? I assume we can’t because we connect the labor class to the resource group.  I guess it will be same with production schedule and CRP calculated loads too. Tried to find a documentation to check if there are prerequisites but it was not successful.  Nav. path -Resource Management\Analysis\Resource Analysis

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 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;
