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.

Some of the components we use in Shop Orders are Customer Owned. We are having to raise the Shop Orders and manually change the lines to Customer Owned and stating the customer before parts can be reserved to the shop order. As this is the standard process rather than exception, does anyone know of a way of making the structure ‘aware’ that it needs to draw components from Customer Owned stock for certain components?  

Does anybody have any documentation regarding IFS ERP ? or Can you recommend an external source ?      Thanks 

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 clicking on the link in the mail about “Important Information / Related to IFS Applications”, regarding “Following Oracle’s update about changes to the support of its database suite, we want to inform you about the implications on your IFS Applications™ implementation”, it fails. The link throws an “You are not authorized to access this page. - This content is restricted to a select group of members. Please contact the community manager to request access” message. After creating an account, it still doesn’t work, so where is: "https://community.ifs.com/news-and-announcements-21/oracle-database-support-changes-impact-for-customers-operating-ifs-apps-9-1109" ?

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.

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, I have 3 questions on Element Designer.   In the Element Designer, there is a Form Mapping section. I would like to know how to use it. I found an example in the Bar chart ‘Vacancies Progress’ which is mapped to ‘frmTabHeadCountPlan.  But in the Head Count form, I have not found anything related to this lobby element… In the Navigation section, I would like to have information on the ‘Use own process’ checkbox and its Process id. In a Bar chart, in the Data section, what exactly is the ‘Transpose data’ checkbox for ? Thanks   Michel

Hi, We have created a lobby element with the SQL query builder. However, we cannot enter an order by here. By default, it sorts by machine number (but we have not set this ourselves) and we want to sort by zip code. How can we solve this?  

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.

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.

Does anyone have any information on the IFS Government Gateway vbinjector? This works with Payroll.

My company is on Apps 9 and I have an issue with a subcontracting purchase order. The purchase order was created from a purchase requisition whose demand came from an outside operation on a shop order. The purchase requisition generated one line for the total quantity on the shop order. When our purchasing department converted it to a purchase order they added additional lines, reduced the quantity on the original line and all lines now total the original first line. By doing this, the original demand code was changed from Demand Code “Shop Order" to Demand Code "Non Inventory” on the added lines. Now when we Register Purchase Order Arrivals for the added lines, they are not connected to the shop order and we are unable to complete the operation on the shop order. What can we do to enable us to receive in the purchase order and have it connected to the shop order. Example: Purchase Requisition generated from Shop order for 500 EA. Purchase order created for 5 lines of 100 EA.

We would like to test Incident Distribution List Emailing.   We have created the Incident Distribution List and setup the Distribution List Configuration conditions.   So, when an new Incident is created and the status changes to confirmed then the person in the relevant email distribution list associated to the configuration should be emailed.   When I checked the Release Email Notifications information I can see that the activity is used to send email notifications manually. Note that the status of the notification setting will automatically change to Completed when notifications are manually executed.

If different notifications are required to be sent according to the type of actions p
