Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

I have a question about the functionality of the "Cf C Pa1" switch on the inventory part. There is no description of the function of this field. Thank you for your support.  

We’re working with a client where we are planning to use Product Structures for their Manufacturing business. However there are a series of Products where they can use either a combination of Parts A, B, C, or, the they can use a combination of parts C, D.We’ve proposed that these should be identified as being different parts with separate Product Structures but the client has rejected this as the completed Product is 100% identical both visually, technically and structurally, so irrespective of the item combination used to make them, from a Sales and Storage perspective the completed Products are the same.The only option we seem to have (as we can’t use Alternate Parts to manage this), is to use Recipe rather than Product Structures to manage this, but this leads to a series of questions:Is it possible to combined both Product and Recipe Structures in a Single Site in IFS (Previous questions in the community appear to indicate that it is)

Not entirely sure what our expectations should be here… We have a user who has copied/pasted material rows from Shop Order A onto Shop Order B.  Parts are in stock on the relevant site; Supply type on Shop Order B showing as Invent Order. User then attempts to directly Issue material to the rows newly pasted onto Shop Order B (select row/Manual Issue).  Manual Issue Shop Order Material screen comes up blank. If the parts are entered onto Shop Order B by a new line being created, Manual Issue Shop Order Material comes up with stock available to be issued as expected. If we run the ‘Redefine Supply Code’ and change to Project Inventory  and then run the ‘Redefine Supply Code’ again and change back to Invent then the Manual Issue… screen is populated correctly.     Ha

IFS V.9I’m facing an issue with a Shop Order. After opening the Shop Order and right-clicking to change its status to "Release," a popup message appears with a warning "The work center xxxxx is not assigned to the same procution line as part xxxxxxxxxxxx." . Has anyone encountered this issue before? I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you. 

Hi All,During shop order creation it cannot be saved because of this error message.(Scrap factor is mandatory).But In product structure the Scrap factor is set to zero(0). It also in Inventory part u der manufacturing TAB Scrap factor set to (0). May be this zero value (0) can not be fetched from BOM/Inventory part.what could be the possible solution? 

Hello Community,I would like to know how is it possible to change automatically the Phase In date of the revision while we create an inventory part ?I check another topic, where it is mentionned that I can do this thing by Custom Events.SO I created a custom events that is triggered well while Invdntory Part is created. But I think something is wrong with my custom action see below :I tried both of these solutions :That is the error while creating an inventory part :Maybe I’m trying to update something that is not existing for now.

We’re working with a client in the Construction Materials sector. When carrying out Product costing on one of their main product lines, they use a concept the call “Equivalence”, under which for example, the standard product is an 8x8x12 block which has an equivalence value of 1 and a cost of $10, another version of the product is an 8x8x9 block which has an equivalence value of 0.75 and a cost of $7.50, and a third product will be an 8x8x15 block which has an equivalence value of 1.25 and a cost of $12.50.We’re trying to find a way of representing this costing method in IFS but none of the standard models in the system appear able to support it, has anyone encountered anything similar previously and does anyone have any suggestions on how this can be approached 

Dear Colleagues,I would like to ask you for information about the functionality of the field "Buildable Alternate Exists" in the overview task "Engineering Revision Transfer Status" - PDM environment.The importance of the field setting, what it affects. Thank you. 

Hello!A question about the redesign of page “Analysis Result” from APP9 (And APP10) to IFS Cloud. The question touches upon the same subject asked in this thread, but its not identical: Analysis Results Overview (IFS Apps 10 UPD 14 Aurena) | IFS Community The customer I am working with is upgrading from APP9 to IFS Cloud. In APP9 they are used to seeing the Result column, Inner/Outer Min and Inner/Outer Max in the same page as they Complete and Confirm the results. This is possible because the tab Variables is included in this page.In IFS Cloud they cannot see these columns in Analysis result since that tab has been removed

in “Non Conformance Report” you can connect objects, one of them being shop order operations.  for some reason the connected object description will not populate for the shop order operation. it does for the shop order though. Does anyone know why it wouldnt / how to get the description to populate?  

Issue with Part Revision: A new revision was automatically created when the most recent revision was marked as "phase out." * New part revisions are being automatically created after the most recent revisions are marked as "phased out."  * Many of the affected parts are components of the mentioned finished goods.  * The issue was especially noticeable between December 15 and 16, 2024, affecting 89 parts.  **Question:**  Is there any adjustment or configuration in the system that automatically triggers changes in the revisions of component parts when changes are made to finished goods?  

Hi Community,When a CTO part is to be delivered from inventory, supply code is Invent Order and part is reserved by selecting Configuration and Find Existing. However, if Project is connected to the order line before reservation, it’s not possible to reserve. If reserved first, it’s not possible to connect to Project.Have tested by connecting and not connecting the part to Project under Inventory Part in Stock. Have also tested by selecting other supply codes like Project Inventory and Project Deliverables.Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

I’ve got a WO to which I’ve tied a NO CO to the header and set the CO Type to NO on the task.I have issued a part to the WO and I want to invoice the customer for that. I’m not seeing anything relating to Transfer to Customer Order.  Can you help here?   I’ve tried using an SEO and I’ve tried to create the CO from the WO, which is does but still can’t see how to transfer this to CO.  

Hii, When a user removes the authorization on particular day in time card he is getting error “ Indirect labor transaction 2583939  has already been cancelled once””. Can anyone help to resolve this ??  Error  

I need some advice regarding capture cost sources when we copy SET 2 to SET 1. 

 What is preventing this transfer from being completed / how do we find out what is preventing the transfer from being completed?When attempting an engineering revision transfer we are getting this warning. This is preventing us from completing the transfer. When we go to Eng Transfer History this is the transfer description we have. What is preventing this transfer from being completed / how do we find out what is preventing the transfer from being completed? 

I have seen that there is already a “Component Repair Order to handle Configured Parts” topic, but is there any feasible process in IFS as of today for repairing a configured part that has once been delivered to customer?Buy/take into stock from owning customer Some sort of repair order (multilevel, dissasembly/assembly) etc Delivery to customer againHow would IFS recommend us to use the system for repairs/overhauls if we produce them as configured?/ Kenneth

Hello, I’ve created a few distribution orders to move some parts from Site A to Site B. The multiple parts were all added to the same PO/CO and all looks good. On Site B, I can see the released PO and the lines are available on the register arrivals page. Of course, I cannot receive the lines until the customer order on Site A is delivered. That’s all fine, but when I try to peg material lines on a shop order at Site B, the corresponding lines from the released PO are not displayed. Is this intended behavior or am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks for your help,Dylan

Hello,My customer has this error message when he tries to issue a reserved material line : “ The quantity reserved for part XXX on site XXX at location XXX should not be negative.” Thanks for your help.

Hello, We are looking to improve manufacturing cost estimates and cost reporting through IFS. We primarily design and fabricate custom systems with job-unique BOMs. We are not using DOP at the moment, but have it on the radar in the future. On the shop order costs page, we can see estimated and actual material, labor, machine, etc. costs. Until items are issued or operations are reported, the actual cost is $0. Thus, the estimated cost can be useful. An issue with the estimated cost is that it is $0.00 for new items that don’t have a history in the system. Even once these new items are received into inventory and there is an inventory unit cost, the estimated material cost field on the Inventory Part Unit Cost page still shows $0. Thus, other than our interconnecting piping, fittings, etc. that are used on every job, our estimated cost is completely missing. We can add a CRIM to update the estimated material cost field after material rece

I just created a new site in our IFS 10 environment.When checking the basic data in costing, I found, that UPD 21 has several new Costing parameters . Unforturneately, IFS documentation Define Cost Parameters https://server/documentation/en/Costing/ActivityDefineCostParameters.htm only describes some of the parameters.I had a look in the latest doc of 24R2 (https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/24r2/Costing/ActivityDefineCostParameters.htm  which is lacking a description of most of the parameters as well.These are new parameters in IFS 10, or in some of IFS 10 Updates.Parameter CodeCAPTURE_COST_SOURCESCOPY_APPROVED_PARTSCOPY_SUBCONTRACT

 In Part Master Data > Revisions and Attributes>Part RevisionWas there a change in IFS at some point that auto-populates the Revision No into the Revision Text field? We use revision text occasionally for a different piece of part master meta data and now seeing a system generated value in this field is causing issues and confusion.   

Different customers ordering same Part No - but needing handling unit quantities to be different Is there a way to accomplish with SAME Part No? 

When a user who has the access to this screen tries to open it, it fails to load with this error. I have tested this with another user account with the same permissions, etc and I can access the screen and do a search. I have tried going to this screen with debug console on with the user account that fails to load it, and nothing is output to the console.IFS 10 update 21, hosted internally.Any ideas what could be wrong please for this one user? Thanks
