Issue Description: An issue occurs when creating an MRB case from the Shop Floor Workbench (Dispatch List). Although the MRB case is created successfully, the application becomes stuck on the "Enter and View Results" screen within the Control Plan, preventing users from continuing or interacting further with the page.Due to this behavior, users are unable to proceed with workshop activities and demonstrate the expected business process flow, which is impacting ongoing project validations and progress.Environment: IFS CLOUD 25R2Test Plan:Step 1: Create a Shop Order with an Active Control Plan status, enter the required Need Date, and release the Shop Order after assigning an operation number to a material line.Example: Shop Order 213204, Site X.Step 2: Open Shop Floor Workbench, filter by Shop Order 213204, select the operation line with quality controls defined (Operation 30), and create an analysis from the Control Plan menu.Step 3: Open Enter Inspection Results, enter a valid result

Hello,Just wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the new MRP Parts page in 26R1. I am  pretty sure all MRP lovers “out there” will appreciate this entry into MRP result :-) It has a lot of good useful columns and it is a good starting point for drilling down to other material planning pages.And if you are not afraid of writing advanced queries you can for example find parts that has Late Order(s) OR Early Order(s) OR Remove Order(s) message like belowGood Luck with MRP planning-Mats

Hello, We are receiving an error ‘All created Analysis must be confirmed or cancelled before the operation no 10 is closed’ when trying to approve an operation on the shop floor workbench in IFS Cloud 25R2. This was the confirmed analysis associated with the operation. Why would this error be happening? Thank you.  Thanks,Jay

Hi,I'm trying to understand whether the following behavior is standard or not.Create an Inventory Part. Create two Inventory Control Plan Templates. Apply both templates to the Inventory Part. Create a Control Plan from the first template and activate it. Create another Control Plan from the second template and activate it for the same Inventory Part.Both Control Plans can be activated successfully. They are active for the same Inventory Part with the same phase-in and phase-out date range.Next, repeat the same process with a new Inventory PartCreate another Inventory Part. Create two Control Plans using the same Inventory Control Plan Templates. This time, select a Part Revision in the Control Plan header for both Control Plans. Activate the first Control Plan successfully. When attempting to activate the second Control Plan, the following error is displayedThe customer's requirement is to have multiple active Inventory Control Plans for the same Inventory Part that are valid for the

Hi all,We are using the standard IFS Outside Operation / Subcontracting process and have a question regarding the creation and management of purchase requisitions and purchase orders.When a shop order is released, IFS automatically creates the related purchase requisitions or purchase orders for the outsourced operation, depending on the selected supply type. In practice, we often face situations where:Previous operations are delayed and the planned quantity is not yet available for outsourcing. Only part of the quantity can be shipped to the supplier due to transportation capacity constraints/ delays in previous operations.  The standard approach is to split the shop order, which updates the purchase requisitions/orders and creates new requisitions/orders with a later delivery date.However, managing these splits requires significant effort because it is difficult to determine exactly:How much quantity has already been reported as Ship WIP to Supplier. How much quantity is still waitin

Hi,We have strange situation in apps 10 with manufactured parts. FIFO is valuation method for all kind of parts.Despite identical material (bacflush costs) and labor costs being recorded across the period, inventory receipts from the same shop order (SO 325985) are reflecting progressively higher unit costs. Material issues and operation reports are auto-backflushed at receipt creation Multiple receipts from SO 325985 exhibit incrementally escalating unit costs (ranging from 0.1501 to 1.0610 per unit) Material composition and labor standards remain consistent across all receipts within the period (12–13 March 2025)Any thoughts how to investigate this issue? 

Hi everyone,I work at a chemical manufacturing company, and we're in the middle of migrating from IFS Applications V8 to IFS Cloud. One of the points is how to handle manufacturing execution on the shop floor, with a particular focus on assisted weighing.Assisted weighing is critical in our process: the operator needs step-by-step guidance when dosing each component, with real-time weight capture straight from the scale, per-component tolerance validation, blocking when the value falls outside the range, and lot and location binding at each weighing to ensure traceability. The core question is how much of this IFS Cloud covers natively and what's left over.I'd like to understand how those of you already in production solved this kind of scenario. Did you rely on IFS Cloud's native Shop Order and Manufacturing capabilities? Did you adopt a market MES integrated with IFS? Or did you end up building something in-house? And how did the scale integration turn out?Any practical experience wo

Hi all,We are using Apps10 update 23 and have been asked by compliance to store ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) for some products. I cannot find a field for this use so wanted to check if anyone who uses Apps10 knows where this would be?ThanksUmar

Dear community,I need your help regarding the export control module as something is not clear for me.If I well understood, each part that are export-controlled needs to be identified, classified and approved in the part catalog. In addition to this, for purchased parts, the classification must also be done in the supplier for purchased part.Why is this required ? because what is troubling me is that we must maintain manually the same information on 2 different windows. And so, it can generates discrepancies if we forget to update one value on one or the other screen.Am I wrong ? or I’ve been missing out on…Thanks for your help

Hi everyone,I have some general questions regarding how MSO handles shop order and operation statuses.As far as I understand, MSO mainly considers shop orders in Planned status. However, the Planned status only exists on the shop order header level, while MSO schedules the individual operations. This is where I am currently a bit confused, especially regarding the interaction between the shop order status and the operation status.My questions are:When material is reserved, the shop order header status changes to Reserved. How does MSO handle these shop orders? Are they still considered for scheduling/rescheduling, or are they treated differently?When material is issued, the shop order header status changes to Started. What is the expected MSO behavior in this case?Also, what happens if an operation has already been started, but material has not yet been reserved or issued? How should MSO handle such a scenario?From my understanding, operations that have already been started should not

Hello All,I have observed one thing which is different then other ERP system.We have various shop orders currently are in “ Released” status.. Our process is we review them daily and which ever necessary based on demand we reserve & Print them for shop floor to take act upon.  My query is I have see various shop orders as “ Released” status which does not have demand / no SS generated demand/ So other criteria based demand to have this shop order , why after MRP run system is not asking to “ Cancel” this shop orders like other ERP systems?    I am still learning the IFS so still not sure where can I see such MRP based signales 

Hi,I am trying to understand is the standard IFS process and system behavior when a material reaches its expiry date.Specifically:• Does IFS automatically block expired material from allocation to a Shop Order?• Does IFS prevent the issue of expired material to production?• Is the material required to be moved to an MRB or quarantine location?• What is the standard IFS workflow for dispositioning expired material (e.g. Scrap, Rework, Use-As-Is, Return to Supplier)?• What is considered IFS best practice for aerospace and defence manufacturers managing shelf-life controlled materials?From a Quality and AS9100 perspective, expired material should not be available for production use until an appropriate disposition decision has been made.Any inputs from Industry experts would be greatly appreciated.

Hello.We have documents attached to shop order operations, routing operations and on standard operations.Those documents are actually outdated and we would need to change its revision to the last one.Is there an easy way for that?ThanksIFS APPS 10 UPD 5

Could someone clarify what I’m seeing here, please?  We appear to be stuck in some weird loop.  Inventory Part Cost Level SEEMS to indicate ‘Cost per configuration’ is a choice available in a Weighted Average environmentIf we select ‘Configurable’ we get the below message - indicating to change Valuation Method to Cost per Configuration ... … Yet when we change THAT setting we get this message…  Any clues gratefully received!  Thanks LInda

Hello,We are getting an error message about a cost bucket that we have set up, but have never really used in the past.  We have it set up on one site but the error message says we need that same cost bucket set up on another site because inventory is being transferred between the two.  When I try add cost bucket 111 (the one suddenly being used) I am getting an error ‘’Ids in the range of 0-999 for cost elements and Cost Buckets are reserved for future use’’. I am trying to figure out how to tell what is calling for cost bucket 111. Nothing on the part seems to be pulling to that cost bucket and I’m stuck in the error messages.  Does anyone happen to know where I should look to see why cost bucket 111 is suddenly being used? Thanks!

This seems like a basic request but I cannot find any way to achieve this inside IFS (Apps10).If we have a part shortage, how can we generate a list of all top level parts (manufactured units) that this part could go into?With a lot of manual work/expanding of assemblies we can get there using the Complete Where Used and Component Where Used screens, but we have to expand all of the multiple level sub-assemblies in order to find all of the top level parts that are impacted.Surely there has to be a better, quicker way to identify just a simple list of top level units (final assembly) that would require a specific part?

Hello,I tried using a by-product in the product structure together with Cost Distribution (for example, 20% of the operation cost distributed to the by-product and the remaining 80% to the main product).I then received the parts from a Production Schedule line. The system correctly received both the main product and the by-product, but the Cost Distribution setting from the product structure did not seem to be applied. The costs were still calculated according to the standard cost defined in the Estimated Material Cost for each part.Do you know whether this functionality is supposed to work when receiving parts from a Production Schedule line, or is it only supported for Shop Orders?Thanks for your help.Kind regards,David Dočkal

Hi,The company I work for builds racing cars and we would like to exchange with users that have been able to manage successfully product structures with different options / configurations per customer and by product (cars in our example).We would like to be able to deal differently with the purchasing depending on the parts and the assembly order.We would like a picking stategy/order that depends on the structure.We would like to follow the missing parts to focus on the priority parts depending on assembly.We would like to have a multi-level structure per parts, assembly, full assembly and full car.Can anyone share their experience if you have been able to implement it in IFS ?Thanks and Regards,Anne-Sophie

We have implemented Master Scheduling in IFS Cloud to support raw material forecasting and procurement planning. We have registered all purchasing parts as MS Level 1 parts and import forecasts through a migration job based on our own forecasting logic. We would like to understand whether there is any standard functionality available that can recommend or automatically suggest changes to existing Purchase Orders before creating new requisitions.For example:If forecast demand moves earlier, can IFS recommend bringing existing Purchase Orders forward? If forecast demand moves later, can IFS recommend postponing or pushing back existing Purchase Orders? Can Master Scheduling generate action messages for rescheduling open Purchase Orders instead of creating new supply proposals? Are there any standard planning parameters or setup options that support this process?Our objective is to optimise existing supply orders first and reduce unnecessary new requisitions when demand dates change.Any g

Hello,  I am wondering whether there is a given set-up on the inventory part, main part or anywhere else, where these parametres can be set.   The point is that we want to have the structure depth: Full level And the “allow changes to DOP Structure”: ON  Without the necessity to switch it once the DOP is created.  Thank you,Best RegardsPetaKu 

25.1.7In previous versions there was a page titled Manufacturing Structures. Here it is in Apps10.I do not see this page in my 25R1 world.I recall reading in the Release Notes that a new term, Master Structure, was introduced at some point. Did a page for Master Structures get overlooked? 

We are in the process of transitioning to IFS Cloud, We are currently on IFS APPS 10 and use the IFS ScanIT Aurena 10. We have a test environment set up (On 25R1) and are wanting to begin testing WADACO (we use Android Devices) but cannot find instructions on how to log in. We have been told to use IFS Aurena ScanIt - The only thing close to that I can find on the Android Store is what we already have.I have no clue what to put in the System ID field and every time I enter our Test Environment URL, I get a server is not reachable error. 

Our site likes to use Single Level Transfers when transferring new assemblies from Engineering over. Some sister sites say to use All-Level Transfers. I know when there is a subassembly that is “changed” and we do a Single Level, most times that subassembly goes over as “BLANK” Product structure. We currently have a CO going through for a common part that is used in over 100+ assemblies. Current practice has been to go back and re-transfer all the assemblies so they no longer say “changed”. This seems… like a poor use of time. Is there some mechanism we should be doing or havent been doing that fixes this?  We dont want any blank product structures. Maybe we are doing something wrong, i wouldnt be surprised. 

Under the Overview Unit Cost tab, the column “Actual Accum Cost” is showing a value of zero for the overhead cost.basic data setup, Part cost appears to be correctly configured. Other shop orders for the same parts are working properly. However, for the specific 2 shop orders  the value is showing as zero. Can someone suggest a possible reason and solution?
