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

I am seeking a solution to manage shop orders in a production workflow where parts are built, tuned, and tested. The process should allow for a dynamic flow such that:Operation 10: Approved → Progress to Operation 20 Operation 20: Approved → Progress to Operation 30 Operation 30: Approved → Progress to Operation 40 Operation 40: If a failure is detected during testing, the part should be reset and moved back to Operation 20 for reprocessing.

Hi, We are struggling with our setting of a DOP within a project. For some parts, which are set to “pegged”, want that IFS looks at the standard stock first. If we have it, we don’t need to make or buy it.But we notice that our DOP only looks at the project stock, which is off course empty. So he makes PR’s/SO’s for everything, without looking at the standard stock. How can we solve this?

We are currently using a process where we use Warehouse Data Collection to issue a serialized part to a shop order. The part in question can be used up to 4 times with 4 different serial numbers. In our application, once we issue the 4 serial numbers, the part is built and those serial numbers are permanently covered and will not be able to be seen again without completely destroying the part.The question I have is if anyone has an idea of how we can sequence the issue of these parts to know which order they were scanned in? The reason is that I want to know the orientation of the serialized parts in the final assembly (Ex: Left to right is serial 2, 4, 7, 5). I would ideally want some sort of way for my operator to identify that this scan is the left most position, this scan is the second from left, and so on.Let me know if you need any clarification or is you have any ideas. Anything would help!

This post is relevant for manufacturing customers using operational reports. It is a heads-up that we are planning to deprecate below listed operational reports. BackgroundAlthough the transition to paperless manufacturing is still in progress, the demand for printed documentation or reports shared as PDFs has noticeably decreased. We have several reports that we believe are either not used or have numerous alternative options available in IFS Cloud for sharing such information. Maintaining these reports still consumes time that could be better spent developing new functionality. Therefore, we plan to deprecate these reportsReports planned to be deprecatedKanban Audit Report Kanban Supplier Receipt History Report Capability Graph Data Qman Sample Value SPC Graph Sample Data for Variables Analysis Result History Recipe Print Out Routing Report

Hi, In the customer order screen - the full delivery address is only visible by selecting the Order Addresses tab.Is there a way to have this address visible in the Header so its visible at all times? ThanksCharlotte

In IEE Apps10 - having profile issues.   1st issue - trying to add a Custom Field to base profile and it looks like it is going into the right spot until you hit Apply or OK and it disappears - cannot get it to stick 2nd issue - Estimate screen is overlapping (product screen overlaps where components and operations are added) - once I try to fix - adjust margins - hit OK - the margins fix however the fields below all get scrambled and unusable

We have a scenario where we sometimes need to rework a purchased component.For this purpose we use repair shop order with repair structure and routing. This works fine except that no cost for machine/labor time is captured by shop order cost. Only purchase cost related to cost template used for part (P-140 in my example) are captured.As a test I created a manufactured structure/routing for same part number. Then created and reported shop order.  This works fine, system captures labor and machine cost despite same cost template (P-140) is used!I tried different settings to get this to work also for repair shop order. The only way I managed to capture cost is by adding cost bucket (e.g. 300) used for manufacturing to template P-140. This is not a good solution and causes a risk for wrong cost in cost calculation.Any ideas if/how this can be solved?

What are the proper workflow to delete or set to Obsolete existing Purchase Structure, which was created for unknow reason or by mistake for Inventory Part with setting Part Type = Manufactured?Now there are two identical structures: Manufacturing and Purchase and both are active and Buildable.

Hello,We use the comprehensive split function to split large shop orders into smaller batches. As an example, we mix ingredients in 1000 lb. batches as that is the max capacity of the mixing machine, however, the full shop order is for 10,000 lbs. so we split the larger shop order into 10 x 1,000 lb. shop orders. When we do that, though, setup time is planned for on each split shop order when in reality we only set up once and then all subsequent shop orders that were split into do not need set up. The result is large cost variances.I understand the reason why this would happen, but is there a way to remove this setup time from 9 of the 10 shop orders in the example above? Does anyone else have a similar situation where they were able to solve for this issue?

In our business we experience yield loss on shop orders. For example, we mix ingredients together and for a 1000 lb. shop order, we know we will experience x lbs. of yield loss and the shop order will yield, for example, 960 lbs. instead of the 1000 lbs. lot size. I have been researching yield loss and am struggling to find an answer to answer my questions.We want to use scrap factor to increase the requirements for ingredients. For example, if we know we are going to experience 4% yield loss on a shop order, we want the required ingredients to be inflated by 4%. I have seen scrap factor in multiple places within IFS, but am not sure how to do what we are after, without adding, in this example, 4% scrap factor to each ingredient in the product structure. The second part of this question is that we don’t actually scrap anything out in IFS. We just receive less than the required amount on the shop order. Does that affect the scrap factor use?

Hello everybody, Does anyone know the exact formula used to calculate the ADU based on transactions history? It seems that for the number of horizon days from the Start Date (Today - (DLT + horizon)), the system takes the sum of the quantities issue / horizon. However, for the period corresponding to Today - DLT, it adds a quantity for which I can't find the formula. In fact, does anyone have the exact formula for the ADU based on transactions history?Thanks in advance.  Laurent

Hi is there a method to transform an inventory stock part from planning method A to planning method K after we use this inventory part into already closed shop order? 

When I scrap material I have an errordo you have any idea how I can solve this “Report component scrap on material history :P1 will result in not enough material issued to satisfy the receipts and or operation scrap already made on this shop order.”

Hello IFS community, Under the Purchase Requisition Lines, there are fields labeled Order Ref1, Order Ref2, and Order Ref3. From other pages, I know that Order Ref2 corresponds to the Line No and Order Ref3 to the Release No. However, could you tell me what Order Ref1 refers to? I’m certain it isn’t the PO No, as that field already exists in the Purchase Requisition Lines.Additionally, in previous versions of IFS, you could press F1 or access the Help menu to see definitions and explanations about fields. Is there a similar feature in IFS Cloud for quick field definitions? 

Community, I see IFS Cloud introduced a new order called “Shipment Order”, from what it described, it is pretty much like APP10 Distribution Order. anybody has any experience with it, what’s the difference between these two? Thank you.

Bonjour l’équipeJe tente d’installer les deux modules IFS reporter et Analytics sur le même poste mais ça ne passe pas,Avez-vous une idée svpPeu importe l’ordre d’installation le même message apparaîtDe coup, je ne peux avoir que IFS Analytics ou reporter, mais pas les deux

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to monitor Quick Reports in order to detect which reports are effectively used? Thank you and Regards, Rui Resende.

I was testing this combination a bit and it seems the only way to change the unit cost of a part in this case is to manually use Modify Cost Level Details, by part and condition. Which means that there is no way of recalculating the costs in bulk for several parts? You can do the cost calculations and copy to cost set 1, but the standard part cost will not be used. Am I missing something?

Do you have any idea whats wrong in this record formulaI always wrote this way but this time its doesnt work
