I’m  trying to find out where the cost bucket sequence is identified in Apps10.  Thanks  Dave 

For a lot controlled item with expiry configured how do you create a rule for allocating by FEFO ? 

Hi,How to connect the cost in sales quotation lines from product structure and BOM estimate?Thanks.

Hi all, I am reaching out today, as a unique issue has come up regarding the supply chain department, and I am not sure if there is any current way in IFS to address the issue presented. We are currently running IFS Apps 10 UPD 22. We are an MRP shop, so all demand is run through MRP and we process Shop Orders and Purchase Orders in the system. Our supply chain team was recently notified that one of our customers is moving to a “market place” system that all ordering should be done from. In the past with this vendor we would simply use MRP and create/convert PORs to POs. The new system essentially rips all of that out of our hands and is to be done on their platform. We would basically receive the product in and pay the invoice, but have no Purchase Order.The vendor has stated that we do have the ability to download the info from they system to an XLS/CSV, but I do not see how that solves the issue for us. If we manually create POs in our system, t

I need some advice from a production schedule guru. I am running a production schedule and midstream, I want to change a component in the structure and then keep running the production schedule.  The component is a lot controlled item.  Any ideas as to how best do this?  I know I can edit components midstream but I need to do a report against the production schedule to allow this.  Also, I am swapping one lot controlled component to another component.Any guidance you may have will be appreciated!

Hello,I would like to reserve parts link to several operations of one Shop Order using Shop Floor Workbench . But not all the parts of the SO.It seems I can reserve all components or the components of only one operation. 

24.1.2In the Quantities panel of the Manual Issue Shop Order Material Line I am seeing red lines in fields that may be indicating an availability issue, but there is no issue, there is plenty of material available.One material line showing the red lines.A second material line on the same shop order not showing red lines.Any ideas?

Our assembly process requires in-house painted parts.  But historically our paint process has been outside of IFS.  Sometimes we paint a full product, sometimes we paint the front of a product, so we’d like to track the ‘painted’ surface area on each part that is painted.Where would be the recommended fields to keep this information stored within IFS?

I have watch a couple of videos and read some articles of how IFS ECO-foot print can be used to perform analysis on the presence of substances in a product bill of materials, but i have not come across reporting on this. Can anyone share an example of a report for REACH / RoHS etc? 

My company recently migrated to IFS Cloud 23R1 (from 7.5, quite a leap).As part of this process, we identified a need to restrict access to some of our product data, so that only a select number of individuals have access to it.We have reviewed the options of populating by Site /by Company but it seems the tables we use Engineering Part/Master Part/Inventory Part would still be visible regardless of which of these we use.Do any of your users segregate Design Data access by product line (or similar)? Is it managed via a property/via site etc? Thank you for any help you can offer.

When a user who has the access to this screen tries to open it, it fails to load with this error. I have tested this with another user account with the same permissions, etc and I can access the screen and do a search. I have tried going to this screen with debug console on with the user account that fails to load it, and nothing is output to the console.IFS 10 update 21, hosted internally.Any ideas what could be wrong please for this one user? Thanks  

Hi all,We work in IFS App 10, and I’m looking for a ‘get’ method ! My starting point is the shop order operations list, and I need to retrieve the start date of the ‘next operation’ based on a given operation number… there doesn’t seem to be a ready-made ‘get’ method for this, so I’m trying to find a workaround / combining a couple of ‘get’…I have already identified this method : SHOP_ORDER_OPERATION_API.GET_OP_START_DATE  for retrieving a given operation’s start date ; however, I am struggling to find a method that retrieves the number of the ‘next operation’ based on a given operation number ! Can anyone help me with that ?

Hello, When returning parts to stock using the return tab in the work task (work order) there is no field to choose the revision number of the part being returned (in many cases the part returned is of a previous revision to the currently valid and could be components not related to a customer order) Is there a way to specify the revision of the part being put in stock when doing the return in work orders?(We are using cloud version) Thanks in advance for your responses.

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

Hi all,We are setting up a Kanban Reorder Point Request Schedule that runs at a defined interval.Sometimes, however, a shortage or internal shortage (e.g., stock not available at the correct supply location) can occur.This may only be discovered during production.Is there a standard way in IFS Cloud to: Alert users proactively when such a shortage situation arises or other error without checking every time the background job results? Perhaps a message when a  Kind regards,Willem

I have a customer that has a requirement to send detailed cost information of their parts manufactured in Mexico to the Mexican Government.  To do this, they use an excel spreadsheet that is used to load into a customs broker system called Aranxel. The standard report, “Cost Build-Up Report - High Detail”, contains all the necessary information but it is meant to be printed; not into Excel.  The “Structure Multi-Level” display shows all the breakdowns but it does not include the cost bucket breakdowns. The “Part Routing Costs per Cost Bucket” display does not explode through the product structure. Does anyone know of a standard query that can exreact multilevel cost information by bucket?  Alternatively, has anyone developed such a query?   Here is the format used currently: 

Community, We are in APP10/UPD9,  We realized Project MS part behavior is different from MS part. Regardless the promise method, you can always enter the qty in customer order line greater than the available qty within DTF and PTF, in other words, the demand quantity entered in customer order line is not restricted by DTF&PTF. is this a bug or as designed? Thank you.

Hi Folks We have three Strength Factors set up in IFS10 (0, 1 & 2) but nobody can tell me what they are used for, could anyone shed some light on this filed or point me in the direction of some documentation to help explain its use? It does change the Duty/Excise payable amount but I can’t work out the calculation.Any help would be appreciated

Hello, Our company uses the IFS 9.4 application.Is there anyone who has experience with PDM–ERP integration on IFS or who has done this before? As part of our planned integration, we want to automate the following processes:Automatically updating material revisions made in PDM as engineering revisions on the IFS side Automatically transferring the product tree (BOM) from PDM to IFS Automatically creating inventory cards in IFS from PDMWe would like to discuss the details with anyone who has experience in these areas or would like to share their thoughts.You can contact me via LinkedIn:👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/muzaffer-%C3%A7okaslan-60477121a/ Thank you in advance. Best regards,Muzaffer Çokaslan

We have an OP part causing issues creating a HAR. There is concern that there's an issue in IFS regarding this part number (#######-###-OP). I don’t believe It should have the -OP appended to it at this point given that parts are inventory. As I understand, the OP is added when parts are sent out for Outside Processing and removed when parts come back from that processing.

We are planning to upgrade our Apps10 PROD environment to the Remote Deployed 23R2 Cloud Setup soon and I want to clarify if IFS has any restrictions or suggestions NOT TO USE Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Express with the Cloud DB.

When we regenerate the calendars with the addition of new exceptions to already generated calendar, scheduling/Planning of all the DOP connected Shop Orders and PRs become inaccurate. The only option seems available to correct them to reply on the function “Propagate Date Upstream “. However, this is not practical when there many open DOP orders. I already created a ticket to IFS support, and they wanted me to create a community post . Kindly enhance this in a future release ?
