Hi Community, We are looking into MES systems based on feedback from our management consulting exercise and are currently evaluating Tulip. Would appreciate feedback and inputs from other customers that are using MES systems on the floor along with IFS ERP. Appreciate your inputs.   

Hello,On the Shop Order Costs module, our Production shop order (3845) has a finished Accumulated Cost/Unit of £1.57 for 200 - Labor Runtime and £5.17 for 221 - Labor Overhead cost, see screenshot attached. This is for 1000 units. When we have come to run the Packing shop orders (10x orders at 100 qty each), the final Packing order (4088) has a final Accumulated Cost/Unit of £3.14 for 200 - Labor Runtime and £9.13 for 221 - Labor Overhead cost, again see screenshot attached. Our Packing orders use a different cost bucket which has no overheads applied, hence the Level Cost/Unit being £0, so how has the Accumulated Cost/Unit increased over the 10 Packing shop orders? We are struggling to work this out so any help given is greatly appreciated.Thank you

Hi all, We are looking to optimize the way we perform our Inventory count of the Finished goods product in our warehouses.  Currently, we hold shipping for about 3 days to complete performing the inventory and then resume shipping on the 4th day.  Just wondering what some of the different ways in which you are counting your Finished goods inventory.  Do you utilize a 3rd party team?  Do you count/freeze warehouse-by-warehouse?   Any other ways to shorten the time for performing the inventory count? Thanks in advance!D

Community, I have a shop order in Closed status. in below window, i can see the discrepancy in the Cost Variance field in different tab. I expect cost variance $3000, but just don’t sure how 2600 is calculated? Where we could trace how system calculate this value, i.e.2600? Thank you. 

Using a Configuration Combination table to return the component part number and this works OK unless the part number that it returns is a Configured Part. The supply code on the Customer order line is DOP and when I add the configured part as a component it works fine, but when I have a ‘place holder’ part as the componet part (ie just a dummy purchased part part), and then I use a configuration combination to ‘SET’ the componet part to a differant part number, it fails when the part is the configured part.  The error message I get is ‘Unable to process due to error action ‘SET’  Component part XX-XXX must not be a configured part.

Community,a question about how to disable auto close shop order operation when completed quantity meet the planned quantity/tolerance.We are on APP10. 

Where in IFS would I go to modify how shop orders get released so that I can force a “Customer Owned” Ownership on certain parts? Is this even possible?We have an issue where when the shop order gets released the parts from below get wrongly marked as Company Owned and they need to be manually changed to Customer Owned.

Helllo,I am trying to sum all the raw(purchased) material (MATERIAL1, MATERIAL2) for my product. (According to qty_per_assembly) I just generated simple structure of L1 product. It looks like this: What i need to do is to sum the MATERIAL1 and MATERIAL2: MATERIAL1 (8,25kg) goes to part_no L4.1 (1 pcs) and component L4.1 (1 pcs) goes to part_no L3 (16 pcs) that means: 8,25 * 1 * 16 * 1 = 132 kg (level4 * level3 * level2 * level1) MATERIAL2 (0,75kg) goes to part_no L4.2 (2 pcs) and component L4.1 (1 pcs) goes to part_no L3 (16 pcs) that means: 0,75 * 2 * 16 * 1 = 24 kg (level4 * level3 * level2 * level1)  How to do it in oracle? Thank in advance.

Hello,We are producing a part in UoM = PC. To manufacture that part, we are outsourcing operations on the shop order for:transport  manufacturing processBoth are assigned with an outside operation items for which the purchase requisitions are generated upon shop order release. Those are then converted into purchase orders and upon arrival of the physical items, we receive all of them and close the shop order.Items on the shop order are in UoM = PC, Outside operations items are a non-inventory parts (paying for the service) however one of the suppliers for the manufacturing process is charging us and sending an invoice per kg for one of those outside operation items (manufacturing process)Question/Problem to Solve: Is it possible to have purchase order for this non-inventory part in UoM = kg, but receiving it in UoM=PC on the shop order? How to solve this differentiation?

I received this question in a private message: Can you think of a solution, on how to prevent the system from issuing new WDR beyond maximum shelf life?Example Scenario:A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed.After opening, it must be used within 2 months.A WDR Change - Receipt updates its expiry from 12 months to 2 months.Now, WADACO and IFS prioritize using this stock first.example: A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed. It stayed in the warehouse for 11 months, it has one 1 month left. When moved, the system might change the date to 2 months because is opened. How to make sure it will give only the maximum shelf life inherited from the original date?When stock is moved or repackaged, we want IFS to apply 

Hi All, I wonder if anyone of you Heroes and Doers have good and effective solution to the problem, same time not causing overloading the system.   In some cases, WDR is used to change the expiration date. A raw material, has a maximum shelf life when sealed—let’s say 1 year. However, once opened, it remains fresh for only 2 months. How to prevent the system from issuing new WDR beyond maximum shelf life? Example Scenario:A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry originally sealed. When a product is received in the warehouse, it has assigned an expiration date based on its full shelf life. This date is stored in IFS under the batch/lot information.When is being moved from Stores location to floor location, system will treat it as opened, and to be be 

Hello.In the multi level structure tab, we sometimes have a negative value on the qty per assembly field. What’s the meaning of this and is that possible to update the value to set a positive value?

When running MRP with the Plan Alternate Component option enabled, component part is not reflected in the MRP Part Information page tree structure and, the component part does not see the demand from its parent part.

Community,Wondering where to define the Period Version in Sales and Operation Planning for Make to Stock window? see below LOV, it only shows the period defintion till 2024-12. Thank you. 

Currently in IFS Apps 10 we have multiple users that have search functions which sort the results via multiple criteria, an example of this is below,The above will show the user the stock of the entered part number in all the locations on site, the results will be ordered by the Location in ascending order and then by LOT number in ascending order, aiding the user to see the oldest LOT first.  The results would be then sorted in the format below   I am unable to find a way to perform this in IFS Cloud 24R2, I only seem to have the option to sort by a single column, are there any work arounds that will resolve this issue or is this function addition with in the roadmap?

Hi all, Can you help out how to set-up these configuration settings? We have Configurable sales part A, manufactured Sales part A can consist of B1, B2 and/or B3, depending on what is choosen. We never have B1, B2 or B3 on stock. B1 consist of C1.1, C1.2 and C1.3B2 consists of D2.1 and D2.1B3 consist of E1 B1, B2 and B3 will always be manufactured when its needed for a configuration. We don’t have stock of these.Cx, Dx and Ex will always be on stock. We have a safety stock of these, so we can manufacture them in advance using shop order reqs from MRP. Let’s say I run the configurator, and a DOP gets created. In that DOP, after release, I want to see the shop order to create Top Part A, shop orders to make B1 and B2, and a reservation for C and D components. Is it enough playing with the netting parameter on the inventory parts? Should I use supply setting DOP for more than the to

I need to delete the customer order line but couldn’t because it has some pegged quantities associated with it. To reduce the pegged quantity to 0 I did RMB on the order line and clicked on “Manual Pegging” to navigate to the “Manual Pegging of Customer Order Line” window. The “Pegged Qty” in the header section shows 24 as shown in the image below. But, in the Purchase order tab, the Pegged Qty is already 0. Initially I thought if I had some qty in the “Pegged Qty” field in the purchase order tab, I would reduce it to 0 but it’s already zero.  On the customer order line, the pegged qty is still showing 24 as shown in the image below:
