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. Received

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. In the pre-requisites it has the following: In order to send automatic notifications to persons on the distribution list, the relevant event should be enabled in the Event Actions window by the application owner. If different notifications are required to be sent according to the type of actions performed for an incident report, specific values should be added in the Condition for perf

Inventory Part in Stock Reservations lets you search for a part and you can see where this part is reserved on Shop Orders. Is there any functionality in IFS which lets you mass unreserve part from several shop orders rather than going into each individual shop order and then unreserve material? This would save lot of time for users. It may be done using Custom Menu option but wondering if it is available out of box.

I’m having a problem in proceeding survey functionality in IFS app 8. Here I created a survey and did not select the checkbox regarding ‘Answer Once’ assuming that it will allow me to answer to the survey more than once. But, when I’m going to attempt it for 2nd time, the error message pop up stating that ‘ you have already answered the survey, if you have not please contact the system administrator’. Further when I contact system administrator he does not know what to be done? Could you explain the functionality of  ‘Answer Once’  check box? Is there anything that system administrator can do?

Current Version:  IFS Applications 10 UPD 6   The user has requested setting a default value for the OCCURENCE_FREQUENCY field on the Risk Assessment screen.   The LOV is from the Frequency tab in Risk Potential Basic Data. The field isn’t Mandatory.  Is the only way to create a Template then set the template as default? I thought I had done something similar using Conditional Fields > Create a Value Set. However, Add Value Set is greyed out for the field Frequency (Occurrence Frequency)  Please advise.  

We want to create a custom field RAG_STATUS on the Supplier Info header screen. if Insurance Renewal Request = ‘YES’ THEN RAG_STATUS = ‘GREEN’ If Insurance Renew Requested = ‘NO’  and Insurance Renewal Date has not expired but is >= TODAY’S DATE -30 DAYS then RAG_STATUS = ‘AMBER’ If Insurance Renewal Date has expired then RANG_STATUS = ‘RED’ Finally, if possible we would like the field to highlight the RAG_STATUS field in the colour of the RAG_STATUS answer. Probably achieving the above via a custom event. Any ideas on how I can achieve this.

IFS Setup:  IFS Apps 10 Barcode Printer:  Zebra ZT-420 Crystal Reports:  2016 I am trying to create the inventory part barcode label in GS1 format.   This looked to have worked in IFS Report Designer by using a custom field to generate the code required and using the DataMatrix label format.   However, although I have amended the page layout to be 10cm x 7cm it still appears to be printing as per A4, the label prints in the centre of the width of the page.  If I look at the layout in report designer layout it still specifies A4 and will not let me change the value.   How can I do this? Secondly, can anyone recommend a GS1 Barcode Font provider that can be used in Crystal Reports as that was my second choice to create the barcode label. If we have to purchase from a GS1 Barcode Font provider, how is this implemented into IFS.  I think the ‘plugin’ would have to be installed on the middleware server.  Is there a specific folder that the font needs to be in? Lastly, how would I get IFS to

I have created a Quick Report (Crystal Report) that uses the Azalea Code 39 barcode.  When running the report with the barcode in it the report fails with the message: Failed to retrieve the report.  Please contact your system administrator.    If I remove the barcode from the report the report runs without any errors. Please advise.

Hi, we did not finalise coding format for Document classes, however I need to start creating some Document classes for our IFS Project . which later will be imported into Production. Is there any chance to change Document Class codes while migrating? or even at the same database?     Thanks, Aida.

Is anyone currently using IFS to track DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) requirements?

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 unit/package

​Dear all, I am asking again  Is Anyone can confirm that Supplier Delivery Pattern does not exist in IFS 10? I have searched anywhere but nothing found, whether at the documentation or the IFS Application. If it confirmed, why it has gone?

How to set Models and related components?

I have a Quick Report (Crystal Report) that has the parameter WO_NO (work order number).   The report works fine.   Created a custom menu on the work order header and in the custom menu set the Quick Report Parameter as: Source Key Name = WO_NO Dest Key Name = WO_NO This again works fine but the user has to press enter when the parameter screen displays the Work Order No.   Can this be set to AUTO accept the value being passed?

I know you can request an emergency license (last 3 days) from IFS using the link provided.   This generates a license key.   How do I apply this?  Normally, we receive an xml and click apply then select the xml to license the software.   Thanking you in advance for your help.    

Does anyone have issues with launching IFS Help and not using Internet Explorer?  It seems that if a user has their default browser set to Firefox or Google Chrome, when launching the “Page Help” link from any IFS screen, all you see is this:   But if you use IE, the help information will appear.  Is this a bug?  Thanks!

Is there any way in IFS 10 to make MRP result as Production Smoothing (Heijunka) ? The purpose is smoothing of production quantities or supplier schedule per material within a leveling period.   I see this feature is available at SAP.   https://help.sap.com/viewer/d9bb3b5ddc0945d491068fad15060d5c/2019.1/en-US/a82b32e5d4ba494ab00d708911cce130.html     thanks

I have created a Crystal Report version of the PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP Operational Report for Purchase Orders. However, on the Purchase Order line there is a field PROMISED_DELIVERY_DATE.  We wish to print this field but it isn’t available in PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP.  Is there a way of adding this field to the report?  I initially tried creating a link to PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_PART but this invalidates the report and it fails.  I know you cannot add custom fields to the PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP.   Can you advise how I can achieve adding other field(s).   Can I create a IAL and link this to the PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP?

Dear All,   I am working in IFS Aurena where I found that there are 2 screens for MRP Part Information. One is MRP Part Information-Top Up and another is MRP Part Information- Top Down.

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?  

Hi, Is anyone using a Voice Picking solution integrated with IFS? We are thinking about it at the moment and it would be good to see if anyone has already done this. Thanks Steve G

Hello, I would like to exchange with someone using the eco-footprint part and more specifically for RoHS compliance. I fail to understand how the Rohs information on the master can be completed automatically. And the part ‘Material Declaration’ is unclear for me. Thanks Carole
