Hi colleagues,It’s interesting that I can see that Lot usage doesn’t guarantee link with appropriate cost.What am I doing wrong?Example:Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 50 | lot 3107-01Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 56 | lot 3107-02Inventory receive 1 | qty 2 | unit cost 59 | lot 3107-03Inventory issue 1 | qty 1| unit cost 50 | lot 3107-03Frankly, I expected unit cost 59 because of the lot 3107-03.Attached are settings and transactions fragments. 

In a MRO Shop order, we define the quantity of a material demand in the  “Qty Per Assembly’ field. when we try to reserve the material , the system allows to reserve more than the qty mentioned in the Qty per Assembly field. at this moment system only throws an information message.  after the first issuance of material, system allows to directly issue any quantity of material ( based on the availability in inventory ) to the shop order. at this point of time, system doesn't throw any error. Is there any way to configure the system to stop this behaviour such as site level setting to control it for MRO flow.As my understanding this is a standard functionality required for Batch Process Manufacturing. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello IFS community,I dont see the difference between tardy orders and passed due orders in MSO. (illustation attached)I looked at the start, finish and need dates but i dont see a logical conclusion.Can someone help me pleaseThanks in advance 

Hi,I have a part with four routing alternates, each of them using a Min Lot Size Based Qty and each of these alternates have an operation connected to a different Work Centre. The Phase In Date  for the routing and Validity Period are set to 25th July.I ran the MRP and CRP and here’s the error message I get when trying to convert a Shop Order Requisitions into a Shop Order. The Work Centre has capacity for that date-the total time for this shop order proposal would be less than an hour-.What did I do wrong ? 

Hi,We have a factory where we blend chemicals, we have four blenders of various sizes.I’ve created a Work Center and added the four blenders as Resources. I’d like to limit the lot size-in a shop order- each resource can handle. E.g. Resource B can’t handle a shop order of 5000 litres as it can only contain 1.000litres. Thanks for your help.   

HelloI need to scrap a component with a serial number on a production order. How can I indicate which serial number should be scrapped? Thank you for your help.

Is there a way in IFS Cloud to set an item as default as non-consumed at part level instead of doing this at the product structure level?If not, where in IFS cloud can done a mass update for all the product structures the articles is used in. 

Greetings! Does anyone know how to create a “folder” in sales rules to put multiple one lined rules into? I have a picture below of a “blue folder” that I was wondering how to create just to make the sales rules a little more organized in Apps 10  

When you have a shop order with materials is there any way that we can aggregate the materials to one handling unit and store as Pallet, Container etc.

Greetings!I ran a “evaluate rules” on a Interim Demand I created. I received the following error but do not know what it means or how to fix it. The error is stated as” Formula Execution” It lists out a long “Decode” sequence with the tail end of it stating “INTO:result from Dual ORA-01476 divisor is equal to zero” I have no idea what that means  

We have an issue where Parts are being reserved to a Customer Order (via scheduled Create Customer Order Reservations job) 24 hours before the parts were produced on the Shop Order for the same Parts. I have a copy Pick List referencing the lot batch from the Shop Order, and the final step of the Shop Order wasn’t reported and the Parts received into stock until more than 24 hours after the reservation took place. As far as I can tell there was no partial Shop Order Reporting and the full quantity on the Shop Order was received into stock at the same time, but 24 hours after the goods were reserved. There did not seem to be any pegging of Customer Order to Shop Order and the CO Supply Code was Invent Order.  Is there any way that a batch can be reserved and appear on a pick list, prior to being reported on a Shop Order?

Please advise if there are any limitations on the Tree View in Part Navigator?We have found a difference between the child data shown in the tree view vs the child data shown in Consists of:6 Child Rows are not shown in the tree view but are present in the consists of structure. When using sort code order (which was the initial assumption that it had reached a limitation), it shows that most are at the bottom of the Sort Code but NOT ALL. Why would these views be different?Is there a limitation on number of rows shown on the tree view? Thank you in advance

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

When working with Engineering, there are a couple of defaults that can be set:For the majority I have an explanation, but for POS and REPLACE_REVISION, I can't find any documentation. Anyone that can help me out, what the function is of these defaults?

Dear Community,I’m trying to create Shop Orders for subcomponents using DOP automatically  but I’m missing something. I want to ensure that when I create a Shop Order for a parent part (e.g. C), the system would automatically generate Shop Orders for its subcomponents (e.g. A and B) in the required quantities. Supply types for all parts are set to DOP. But DOP Header and DOP Structure are not automatically generated.What am I missing? Thank you.

 HIWe are currently reviewing and validating costing behaviour in IFS Cloud, and we need detailed insights into the following specific system cost parameters: KEEP_MCA_SNAPSHOT USE_START_DATE_FOR_SO_VAR UPD_INV_EST_MTRL_COST COPY_WC_LC_COSTS COPY_SUPP_DELOH For each of these parameters, we are looking for the following information: Purpose & Functionality What is the role of this parameter in the costing process? System Behaviour How does enabling this setting influence standard cost roll-ups, cost updates, or transaction recording? Activation Requirements Are there specific modules, data configurations, or s

We have designed Order Report Excel Output, when we are running the report error is coming "PDF Not Generated" in Aurena & "Stream was not readable" through the IEE. It's a Data Rendering Limitation. If we are limiting the data less than or equal to 58,000 report is generating. Also, if we are designing the report through the designer then report output is coming in PDF for whole required (Pages 15,000 approximately. I am attaching the screenshot in a sequence for reference

We have multiple situations where shop order pick lists are being generated and the operation is missing leading to components not being picked. All structures have operations connected to them, but these are not being pulled through onto shop orders. I’m wandering whether this is because the product structure that they are called up in is planning method P (phantom)? For information: Pick Lists are created per Work CentreAll shop order material parameters are %Max orders per pick list is 1Include Unconnected material is toggled onPlanning Methods Used for manufactured parts - A and PPlanning Methods Used for purchased parts - B   

IFS Cloud 23.2.9We are managing standardized parts which are certified by an accredited certification.This involves, after qualification, a freeze on the configuration of those parts and only one person in the company is empowered to modify any data on such a part. So, the objective is to freeze (block modifications) all the data we have on master part, inventory part, product structure, routing, purchase part, SFPP and sales part considering that many people can interact on these projections for classic partsAny idea to manage access/rights on many projections but only for some parts ? or is someone already got this need ?Thanks for your help

Hi,Does anyone know a simple way to add a customer field to a IFS Page?In this scenario, I would like to add the “Task Description” field to the “Work Task Posting Analysis” or “Work Task Transactions” page.The Work “Task Description” field is already in the “Work Task Cost” page but it is not an option in the other 2 pages. Not sure why but it would have been only logical to have it there because WT numbers are had to associate with an actual job without the description.Does anyone know how to do this?Henry

I am trying to find a Dormant time between the current executable operation VS last operation in a shop order. One option is I can go to Finish Date and identify but for our business need this might not be enough I am looking for when the operation in sequence was actually touched. Example I have operation 10, 20, and 30. 30 is executable, so I want to know when really the 20 was last touched? - It could be operation itself, material receiving, or last material receive date. My question is, where can I find all those dates in IFS cloud? 

Can we scan the Order No in the Receive Shop Order By-Product WADACO process and retrieve the relevant Shop Order Number?If yes, please advise how to configure the WADACO process to include barcode scanning for the Order No field? Thanks & Best Regards,Thisarani
