Good day,Is there an option in IFS Cloud to inherit the reserve/issue method in product structures from the inventory part value? Is there an mass update function available for this?

We have used the RMA process to have parts returned from the customer for a long time but would like to consider using CRO because it would allow us to bring the part in as customer owned. When using an RMA there is an RMA document created that can be sent to the customer and is also what is used by receiving to know what to receive that part back in against. I am pretty new to the CRO process, but I do not see what is used to communicate with the customer similar to how an RMA document is used? Am I missing something?

We have encountered that the "Close Operation" option in "Shop Floor Workbench" is only working when performed by User Id: IFSAPP USER However, when same action is attempted using a different user ID, with same permission grants the action is blocked by the system (Error message states user has not been granted with required permissions 

Hello,I am encountering the following error while launching the IFS standard functionality Change Rev Alt via a scheduled task that allows to update the Routing and/or Structure from a chosen DOP order in the DOP structure. I tried to add the resource in the Work Center and relaunch the batch, but I am still encountering the same issue.T tried to launch the function online from the DOP Order, but the structure is too complex and after 10 minutes I encounter an error.Do you have any idea? Thank you!

Hi All, A customer following the Concurrent Engineering process reported an issue when part numbers are changed due to new design updates while the Shop Order is in Started status. The original part is serialized, and during manual receiving, when the source of the receive, part is switched to a substitute, the system shows the error: “Substituting for a Serialized Part not allowed.”This was reproduced in both APP10 Regional Test LKP and IFS Cloud 25R1 Test CMB environments. Upon reviewing the product documentation (Receive Substitute Part page), it is clearly mentioned under the prerequisites that: “The original part should not be a serialized part.”Business Impact:In Aerospace assembly manufacturing, shop orders often remain open for several weeks, and design changes occur frequently. Therefore, the ability to use substitute functionality for both serialized and non-serialized parts is critical for business operations. Currently, the substitute functionality works as expected for non

Hi All, We are experiencing an issue where we cannot cancel the shop order, which is linked to a customer order. Customer order is in invoiced/closed status. I tried to unpeg the customer order from the shop order, and I’m getting the following error.I tried to replicate the scenario in the test environment, and it was unsuccessful since I can cancel the shop order even after invoicing the customer order line.I found the following article in the community,Greatly appreciate it if you can help me find a solution for this.Thank you. Kind Regards,-Kavinda Jayaratne  

Is there a way to attach multiple parts to a change request at once.  In Apps8 we could copy and paste objects.  Also, is there a way to copy multiple parts to a document at once or multiple documents to a change request..

Hello,When configuring a CTO with by-products in IFS Cloud, we need an interim order to be created. However, when attempting to create the interim order, I receive the following message:“No buildable routing revision/alternative exists for part xxxx at Site on the date 2-SEPT-25.”I checked part xxxx and confirmed that the part type is set to "by-product." It does not contain a routing and/or a product structure.What could be causing this error?Kind regards,Willem

In general we don’t manufacture any of our parts.  We purchase all parts from Manufacturers.  We have situations where we know a part is “Discontinued”.Sometimes we might purchase all available parts on the market and keep them in inventory.Are their any out of the box ways to indicate parts that are at risk (Scarce).  We need to be able to identify these parts without setting them Obsoleted because we want to keep using and repairing the parts we have.But we need a way to identify the parts that fall into this category so we can be actively finding replacement options.  Understanding our risks if we have a large failure of several of these parts at the same time.

We have a customer order line connected to a project. Supply code of the customer order line is Project Inventory. We have a shop order connected to the same project and need to peg the shop order to the customer order line.Querying for the Customer Order in “Manually Pegging of Customer Order Line” produces an information message “No data found”. Can project demands not be manually pegged? If not, why?Thanks,Eric  

Hello all - I work with a manufacturing business that operates multiple legal entities and sites. To complete an order, sub-assemblies are created in India, then those sub-assemblies are transferred to a US site for final assembly and configuration before sale to the customer. We need to be able to measure our labor / OH / raw materials expense associated with each sale to measure profitability, but when the sub-assembly is transferred from the India site to the US site, it is recorded as a material purchase and we lose visibility into the composition of that cost (labor / OH / raw material / intercompany profit on transfer).Is there a way to properly configure this in IFS to maintain visibility into underlying cost on intercompany transfers? It can be done in Oracle and SAP…Any help is greatly appreciated,Jeff

Hi Everyone, I add a case of a SO where the By Products costs is over the total costs of the of the main product.IFS block the receive of the SO   What could the the set up to avoid this message, and permit to  receive the SO?

Hi,we have to evaluate to number of activities to size MSO offer.Did someone have a synthetic and clear document  / formula to calculate it?Would like to have something like :Nbre of labor class setup + nbre of labor class run + Nbre of Workcenter resources.  per operation + ….………….Thank in advance 

Client asking to get the possibilty to close the shop order while the MRB case is still being solved. I know the IFS doesn´t allow to do this, however anyone has any expirience with this issue?

Hi, I came across some questions in the Visual Shop Orders Planning screen in IFS Cloud. Appreciate your inputs to resolve those. Version  QuestionWhy the time line is showing only a few days in the week ? Can’t scroll back and forth to see other available days.?There are only 3 operations under this WC Resource. Why this 4th line is showing when there are no operations in that. Settings of the window/Gantt   Is it normal that the users have to refresh the screen after doing some changes in the Gantt, to properly reflect them ? (e.g., after a drag and drop the same operation is still showing at the previous time slot, only after a refresh it is removed from there) Is it possible to see Operations from “Interim Orders” (Interim Order Headers) in this planning screen ?  Any possibility to trigger MRP or Selective MRP from this planning screen?

We are beginning an implementation ( Cloud 24R1 ) on our manufacturing facilities and struggling to identify the best ways to:track where in the facility a manufacturing tool/instance is located send a signal that a tool is needed and should be brought to a work center along with other shop order operation materialsThese are not small items that can be stored at a work center. It’s typical to have one fixture that occupies a pallet, and for multiple instances of that fixture to be required on a single operation.We are experimenting with connecting a tool to an object which ties to an inventory part. That allows us to store and move it. But how to get it delivered? If we add it to the product structure, we would set it as not consumed - this makes the material line non-reservable and it will not show up for pick lists.How are others handling this type of issue?

Dear community,When you create a disassembly shop order, we can see the supply quantity based on the scrap factor when when you try to receive it, the system populates the Remaining quantity to receive. Shop Order does not even close the shop order if you only receive the the supply quantity (highlighted below) and and it wait to auto close until remaining quantity is received. Is this scrap factory only used for a planning purpose? Is there a way to get the supply qty as the default qty to be received and auto close the shop order once received that quantity?  

Is Advanced Planning Board still available in 23R1? Thanks,

Hi there, we are running our ERP on IFS Cloud and need to understand where is the right place/screen to attach/save picture of parts. Any input is very welcome. Thank you.

We have Held for operation (component part) that we add when we hold a shop order for XYZ reasons, I want to identify when I am adding a component part of held for, where can I see the date when part was added, trying to see the dormancy of held for.

Dear community, What is the best way to handle following scenario?You have a manufacturing part A with components B and C as purchase parts. Part A manufactured from a Shop Order and but it was faulty. Rather than scrapping it, we need to take out Part B out and Remanufacture Part A using that disassembled Part B and issuing Part C again from stock.I created Manufacturing structure for Part A,Created a Disassembly Structure for Part A and part B as the produced partThen Created Remanufacturing Structure for Part A However, when I try to set a Direct supply for the Remanufacturing to have a connected disassembly shop order to extract part B, you have to enter Part A and supply type Disassembly in the Remanufacturing Structure/Direct Supply tab but the system does prevents it saying “The direct supply part cannot be the same as the structure header part”.This works perfectly fine if Part B produced from different disassembly part but it seems functionality does not cover the above scenar

Hi,Is there any page or report in IFS that shows full traceability for lot/batch-tracked parts?Our top-level part is serial tracked, and all components/subassemblies are lot/batch tracked, including raw materials. Lot/batch tracking is order-based.The main goal is to have something that shows the full path from finished goods (serial tracked) to the raw materials used (lot/batch tracked). Many thanks 

Hi, is it possible to change the supply of a DOP order from manufactured to purchased? A part in in my structure is manufactured. However, due to capacity constraints,, I want to purchase it. What’s the easiest way to do this update in the DOP?
