Community, Does anyone know in 24R2 IFS Two Step Picking can be utilized to Manufacturing Shop Order Picking scenario?We are currently on APP10, i can see current verison only support customer order two step picking. Thank you.

Hi Community, Does anyone have a solution for searching a particular node and automatically expanding the tree structure in Project Deliverable Design screen.Refer Screenshots below.Project Deliverable Design How to search a component with Level wise traceability? It is like finding a needle in a haystack when the PD structure has 15000-20000 components with a 7-8 level structure as shown in the example below. Please suggest a solution.  

Is it possible to save an ordering (Order By) preference of a table column like you would save a specific search.We notice that if you leave the page where you have Ordered a column that you have to re-Order it the next time you return to that page. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent the ordering from resetting after you leave the page. I didn’t see any functionality related column Order By similar to the Saved Searches functionality. 

When I am click “Yes” to create a DOP Structure it gives me a warning.  However, when I look into the Configuration there is a structure 

Dear Community!I would greatly appreciate your expert insights and experiences regarding part number structures in IFS.We are currently analyzing different approaches to part number management, specifically comparing:    Using identical part numbers across the entire process (Engineering → Production → Sales)    Using separate part numbers for:        Internal use (Engineering Part/Inventory Part)        External use (Sales Part)I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on:    What approach do you use and why?    What are the main advantages and challenges you've encountered?    How does your chosen approach impact the entire process.Thank you for sharing your valuable experience and knowledge!Best regards,Ada

Hi,How it is possible to calculate Overheads to Shop Order, without it increases the WIP in Shop Order? GL Automatic Posting Rule is not a choice (for creating automatic posting for Debet M45 / Credit M40 after Overheads are applied), because of Shop Order’s value still gets increment.I tried to create a new Cost Set for this purpose, but I cannot see anywhere those Overheads at all.Any suggestions?Thank you all already!

Community,Would you be able to advise below highlighted, where is the below parameter in Customer window? 

Hi Everyone, We are using IFS Apps 10.  After doing our year end cost roll, we noticed a few of our parts on the “Part Cost” Screen did not carry over the cost build Cost Tree for component parts after we do a copy from Cost Set 2 to Cost Set 1. Our steps for the cost roll are as follows, for all parts, all run through background jobs Copy cost set 7 to cost set 2 (Controls defaults to select the Include Components and is not editable) Copy cost set 2 to cost set 1 (Controls does not default to select the Include Components and is not editable. We found later this can be editable if we add anything to the Cost Group, Part Status or Part No Field, even a %) The copy from Cost set 7 to Cost set 2 worked fine and brought over the components.  We can’t figure out a reason why some of the parts included the cost trees in Cost Set 1 and some didn’t. We looked at two similar parts (same accounting group, product family, product code, etc) and one of the parts had the cost tree with the compon

Hi,Is it possible to add a one-off document address on a customer order?You seem to have the address book icon to enter the address, but it won't actually let you type in it?Whereas with the delivery address you have the option of a single occurence?  

We have a few items that was acidentally been registered in IFS with the wrong revision and we would like to change this without changing all items in stock or all items with the same revision. Is this possible? Anyone who knows how? 

I have a two-part Shop order question:Is there a way to batch print Shop Orders. Is there a way to batch generate lot numbers for shop orders. Furthermore, can we allow lot numbers to be in some cases duplicated for the same part without IFS having to assigned a suffix (hyphenate with a -1, -2, etc) to the lot number.

Is it possible to add a component description to the tree view using the configuration (page designer)? 

Hi.  We are currently running IFS Cloud 23R1 in the Gov Cloud. My understanding based on release notes is that Constraint Based Scheduling (CBS) / Advanced Planning Board (APB) functionality will eventually be deprecated, to be replaced with Manufacturing Scheduling and Optimization (MSO) functionality.   We recently upgraded to 23R1, but the MSO functionality is not available, presumably because it is licensed separately.  We have security configured to secure ITAR data at the site level, so we have set up a regular non-ITAR site and an ITAR site for such locations.  These locations have work centers that are used for both ITAR and non-ITAR work, so separate work centers are set up in each site for the same physical work centers.  This results in a lot of manual work to maintain the schedules and capacity, so we are looking into a possible customization to have work center capacity / scheduling automatically updated for these work centers - so that when a shop order operation is creat

We are seeking a solution to the creation of material purchase requisitions directly from the Shop Order Materials tab within the IFS Application. This essential functionality is currently Not Available is the IFS Application, At present, users are required to manually input material requirements through the Purchase Requisition screen, which can be time-consuming.  and the function of “MRP” is available, however there is a connection between the “demands” and “supply” so a user cannot identify if his required materials have been ordered or not.Can we do it functionally or configuration?By adding the material purchase requisition creation process to the Shop Order Materials tab, the requisition would be linked to the shop order making it user-friendly and have accurate tracking of purchases to shop order. This will help to streamline operations, enhance accuracy, and ultimately improve productivity.Thanks

Good afternoon, I have the following scenario: I have a Customer Order for a Cost per serial part. In order to build that part, I am sending components to the supplier (The CS part has attached a Product structure to include the components).The Purchase Component Method is Customer Order and the items are not charged.The Cost on CO does not show the whole cost for Cost per serial part, it has only the amount that I pay for assembly. I run the same test for a non-serial part and the cost includes the cost of the components.Do I have an incorrect setting somewhere?We are using IFS 10 UPD 16.Thanks,Cora 

Hi All, When using the inventory cost setting; Standard Cost, Cost per Part, Zero Cost ForbiddenIn previous releases of IFS, you was forced to calculate cost and copy to cost set one, before receipt of the part as inventory value zero was not allowed. The calculation of cost and set standard cost is a fundamental concept for many companies. We are now running IFS Cloud 23R2 and notice that you are not forced to calculate and set standard cost anymore, is that a new parameter implemented to get old logic to be used?I have read release notes from App 10 and later but haven’t found anything related to this issue. To set Unit Cost based on estimated shop order cost when first received is not accepted by all controlers.

A customer is planning on using production schedules to produce their parts.  BUT they also want to capture the actual number of pieces produced during that shift by part.  The customer does NOT want to use shop orders.  They are looking for a way to evaluate the employee’s performance per shift.I am a bit stumped.  Anyone have any good ideas?

Is there an easy way to add all components from a manufacturing product structure to the produced parts of a disassembly one (same FG)? We are trying to disassemble a finish good completely into its components. The problem is that its has 80 components. Manually creating each disassembly component is pretty tedious. I tried to copy the rows over to the produced parts table from components; the items filled in but not the quantities and it wouldn’t let me save. 

Hello Community,I have a question regarding the functionality of the Part Eco-footprint module in IFS Cloud (24R2).Does this module include a tool that can generate data on the total consumption of a specific substance over a given period?For example:- Within a manufactured part, various substances are defined, and based on calculations, we obtain the total quantity per substance according to the product structure (I assume, this quantity is per 1 unit of manufactured part)- This manufactured part is then sold via customer orders (OESHIP transaction), meaning different quantities of the manufactured part are delivered over time.- Our requirement is some summary value for a specific period (e.g., one month, two months, etc.), showing the total quantities of individual substances delivered within the dispatched quantities of the manufactured item.Does the Part Eco-footprint module provide this functionality, or is it necessary to create a report (Quick Report, BR, etc.)?The same logic wo

Hi all,From where I can download the “IFS Cloud Emissions Tracker” app. I downloaded “IFS sustainability planner” from MS store. But, it is different from “IFS Cloud Emissions Tracker”. Further, I have seen another app called “IFS Cloud Sustainability Hub”. Is that also a different app? Is there anyone who knows how to use all these aps?

I’m wondering, when I do an All Parts Cost Calculation, how does it decide whether to use the parts’ Unit Cost instead of the part’s structure?  I see the documentation for cloud cost calculations, but how is the question of Calculate Cost per Structure/Routing answered? If it matters, we use FIFO for inventory valuation.  We’re looking to calculate Cost Set 3 for pricing purposes, and wanting to ensure we have entered the inventory part data appropriate for the rollup calculations we expect.  Thanks for any guidance!

Does anyone know why in IFS Cloud (23R2) it is no longer possible to use the Type Code “Purchased (raw)” for configured parts? The error message is attached.In Apps10 it was possible. Also existing configured parts with Purchased (raw) are being processed without issues in IFS Cloud. We have several distribution companies which order the CTO parts from out manufacturing main company using the inter company purchase order. No issue there.Any insight into this would be highly appreciated.Thank you in advance!Catherine  

We are getting the below error when trying to match the PO in Manual Supplier Invoice it desont specifically say which Codeparts are missing

Community, I have this IFS Academy training screenshot here, do you think below highlighted statement true?if yes, where is it? kindly advise. Thank you. 

Hello everyone,as I read in the community there will be enhancements on conditional formatting options (new operators, additional colors). Those are good news! ;)What about some more style options? We are missing the option to define text style and text color like avaialable in IFS 10.Can you give me an update, if those text options will come in future?Thx.BRMatthias
