Hello IFS wizards, Just reaching out here to find out if its possible to generate a Shop Order/Req report that’s able to be interrogated from withing IFS, rather than the functionality we currently have that dumps the data into a printable report;  I’m thinking it’s got to be possible because the report is pulling the data from somewhere, I just wanted to rather than dump the data externally and extrapolate from there, I can use IFS functionality and user interface to navigate to corresponding pages without manually typing numbers in. Any help would be gratefully welcome!Thanks all,Martin.

Greetings!I am new to IFS Apps 10. When talking about the Part Configuration Revision vs. the Sales Rules, which one leads the other? I know they are both important, but which one would you say determines what can be picked?

Hello,I have a question regarding the Production Line. Why is the production line connected to the calendar as it is already set up for work center? What would happen if I put an “empty calendar” for the production line and the right one is correctly connected for the work center? What would be the impact?Thank you!

Hi,We are in the process of upgrading from IFS10 to IFS Cloud.In the Upgrade scripts, we found a long running script in costing 2110.upg. This is caused by moving Cost set related data to the newly created cost set specific tables cost set 2 - cost set 11. I could not find any documentation in the release notes about cost sets 6 - 11, except in which has a note on slide 4 → “Part Cost Bucket Performance”.This is also mentioned in KB0069266 https://support.ifs.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sys_kb_id=63f1ec64c3f99a1465365083e40

We have an issue where a shop order with an outside operation has a requisition that has been converted to a purchase order BUT the PO has been cancelled. Even though the PO is cancelled, IFS won’t generate another requisition for this outside operation step. Ship WIP to Supplier is Visible because we’ve reversed the Ship WIP. Purchase requisition is still the cancelled PO.Line in status “PO Created”PO Cancelled

Hi We are trying to find the best way to utilize IFS Non Conformance Report for working according to the 8D-method. This is standard in the automotive industri and we are obliged to document according to this method. Has anyone else done this and found best practice for this in IFS? We are thinking of a couple of alternatives: Create one action in the NCR, then create/process one CAPA for this but it doesn´t cover all the 8 steps. Create 8 actions in the NCR to represent the 8 steps in the method. Create CAPA actions for step 3 and 5 in the method if necessary. (It is a lot of steps/administration to handle each action) Create one NCR with one Capa, then create 8 actions in the CAPA.

Is there an option to flag a part/inventory part as a Non-Quantity Bearing Part? In Aurena 23I’m defining non-quantity bearing as:Can be included on BOMs (product structures) Does NOT affect inventory balances: No stock quantity is recorded No stock transactions are performed (Receive, Issue, Count, Move, Scrap do not apply)

Greetings!How do I add more options to my Configuration Structure Rules in IFS Apps 10?  

As you know there are certain things you cannot change after a record is save.  For example, you cannot change an inventory part’s unit of measure after the initial setting is made. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of things like this throughout the who system???

There is a neat feature in the Shop Floor Workbench (SFWB) that allows the operator to manage downtime transactions and manually add downtime results and clockings.  These are created by either the start and stop downtime from the SFWB and optionally, from the same functions on the Time Clock.In an environment that does NOT use shop orders but produces on production schedules, my customer would like to manually add downtime results but they find it less than desirable to have an operator go to the SFWB.  The ultimate goal is this is to develop performance reports that uses a lot of this information and others and possibly position themselves for OEE.I am open to suggestions as to how to do this as efficiently as possible. Is there a way to just add the “Manage Downtime” functions to the navigator???This customer does not report time by employee so I thought having the production line workcenters as employees and perhaps wage codes as the part numbers they are pr

I need a quick answer here, please.  What date is used on the Inventory Transaction History when this aggregation is run?  The created date of the transaction or the date applied?
