Hi, We would like to ‘pre-pick’ materials: for certain shop orders, all materials needed should be moved from Location A to location B. The actual picking happens after that: We pick from location B and the material goes to WIP (=issued) How can this be done? Can we easily create for example transport tasks to move all materials for a shop order/shop orders from location A to location B? Thanks!

Can we do the search in context in prod9 also in the cloud? Is it possible? 

Hello everyone,I've reviewed the available topics and I'm unable to find a clear answer to a question I have. We have a list of 24 items that we need to use as Non-BOM items. I would like to know if there is a way to prevent those parts from being moved to Shop Floor Inventory locations. I only want those 24 items to be restricted from those locations.It would be great if there was a way to set limitations in the inventory part/product structure or at the inventory location level. However, I would be satisfied if I could have some form of AVID set on those parts to limit their movements to shop floor locations. Thank you very much for your help.     

Hi, I’m  trying to use APB with Laborclasses and i had an error like picture in attachment. How can I fixed that ?

When calculating items costs in the background, item costs are calculated only for the structure alternative * and routings *. Is it possible to set all other alternatives to be calculated as well?Thank you in advance

Hi all, I am reaching out today, as a unique issue has come up regarding the supply chain department, and I am not sure if there is any current way in IFS to address the issue presented. We are currently running IFS Apps 10 UPD 22. We are an MRP shop, so all demand is run through MRP and we process Shop Orders and Purchase Orders in the system. Our supply chain team was recently notified that one of our customers is moving to a “market place” system that all ordering should be done from. In the past with this vendor we would simply use MRP and create/convert PORs to POs. The new system essentially rips all of that out of our hands and is to be done on their platform. We would basically receive the product in and pay the invoice, but have no Purchase Order.The vendor has stated that we do have the ability to download the info from they system to an XLS/CSV, but I do not see how that solves the issue for us. If we manually create POs in our system, there is no connection to what was orde

I want to force an approval or signoff of an operation before it can move to the next operation?Any suggestions? Thank you,

Can having alternates of a product structure revision affect the ability to transfer a new engineering revision, thus creating a new revision of a product structure? 

I have one raw material.  Based on testing, this raw material can be classified into 3 different groups with one group being the base material itself.  Each classification is then used in three different end products.  The different classifications are specific to its end product.  How would I manage this in IFS?

Hi,I need to develop some integration tools in python and PowerShell that needs to communicate with IFS Cloud through API calls. Does anyone have any sample code (including the generation of authentication token) that I can use as a starting point?Thanks!

All,I am working with a client that needs a second overhead rate on the labor class that is based per hour.  I know I can define additional labor overhead cost elements but they are only allowed to be based by unit produced or as a percentage of labor.Has anyone figured out a way to get the second labor overhead rate to be per hour?  No, I do not want to do a calculation to figure out a rate per piece based on the standard labor hour of the item as that does not account for variations in actual hours during production. Nor is it a percentage of the total labor .Thanks!!!

Hi  Can you create a lobby tile from a saved search and if so how? 

Hi,In the Reserve and Backflush visualization dialog box I cannot see the available quantity.However, the this inventory item is in stock and if I select manual reservation for the SO material line I can see the stock lines.In the SO line, inventory part is in stock, and both windows' part ownership is company-owned.What could be the reason for this?Thank you in advance. 

In 23.2.9, we are not able to connect a material requisition line to a non conformance report.It seems that in the object key ref, the key order_no is missing. So, we cannot search for a material requisition line from the material requisition number.  Conversely, when trying to attach a NCR from the material requisition window, we got an error message. Hereafter are the parameters of the object connections : Any idea regarding this ?

We have an  issue/question related to machine load for work center and work orders.Conditions for this to work is clear; wc resource connected to object, obstructive and status on work order etc.Our issue is that work center resource is connected to a maintenance object where more detailed setup with sub levels below connected object id exists, see picture. I our case this is a robot cell with multiple robots, conveyors, stamping units etc. All defined as maintenance objects below object connected to WC resource.We cannot se how, but is there a way to consider and show load also for obstructive work orders on lower levels for object id connected to WC resource? 

Imagine that we buy 2 foot sticks, and that we cut them in half to get 2 one foot stick. Currently we just count-out the two foot stick and count-in 2 one foot stick but this way causes problem since its hard to keep track of the material inventory. Is there a better way to transfer one part number to two new part number? I tought we could make the 1 foot stick with a product structure but then it would mean that everytime we produce end product the step of cutting the stick is in the process. We dont want that since we cut alot of stick that last us a pretty long time. Any suggestion?

In EE we have shortcuts that refer to advanced queries which prompt the user to enter a variable, For example we have a shortcut that takes the user to Inventory Transactions History and prompts them to enter the Lot/Batch No,  I understand SQL and Advanced Queries aren’t possible in Aurena however is it possible to prompt the user for an variable input? In EE this is possible by putting a & in the search criteria field We are currently using IFS Apps 10 - UPD 19

I am needing some help understanding why more than one Work Center is popping up when I run Visualizer. When I select the Shop order to look at it only lists one Work Center but when visualizer is ran with Labor Load Summary more than one Work Center is populated.  

Employee A is a shop floor workbench user.The primary labor class is Labor Class A, which has a defined cost of $10 per hour with no overhead in the Manufacturing Labor Class Cost Tab.Use HR schedule - YesThe company details - use employee labor costs -NoSite settings are configured as follows:On a given day, if a shop floor employee works 8 hours at the normal rate (which is $10 per hour) and an additional 3 hours of overtime (at a rate of $10 * 1.5 = $15 per hour),Is there a way to input this overtime rate for the cost calculation of the finished good? Currently, the total of 11 hours is calculated at the standard rate specified in the labor class cost tab.

Hello - We are on IFS APP10 IEE - UPD 22.We have one use at one of our locations having issues printing. They will print a large batch job from IFS, and in the Print Manager the bulk of the job will get stuck in “Remote Working” while some jobs will end up in the Error Queue with the error “Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.”.  This one user is reporting this issue frequently lately. I have seen this error a couple times for other users, but not repeatedly as it is for this one user. I’ve Googled this error and it appears to be a Windows message? Is it credential related? Does anyone know how to resolve? If I go in and clear the errored jobs, and then RMB >  “Restart” the jobs in Remote Working, then they will spool.   

Hi,We have a requirement to run MRP for source PM actions only and generate PRs for PM action related demands only. How we can achieve this, so far I could not find an option to select the source on the MRP run screen?   Thanks,Kasun

Dear IFS Community,We are looking for the complex solution related to bottom up traceability reflecting serial numbers in IFS9, resp. IFS10 or IFS Cloud. The closest functionality for this request is in the Lot Batch Master, tab Where Used. You can input here the part having specific LOT_BATCH_NO and obtain all parts which could be influenced by this part. Unfortunately, it has one limitation since it is the functionality for the lot batch tracking mainly, it doesn’t consider serial numbers in the connection condition as you can see in the Default Where for this tab:COMPONENT_PART_NO = :i_hWndFrame.frmLotBatchStructureTree.sPartNo  AND COMPONENT_LOT_BATCH_NO = :i_hWndFrame.frmLotBatchStructureTree.sLotBatchNoLet’s focus on example with 3 parts:RM         Raw Material     lot tracking onlySF           Semi Finish         lot tracking + serial trackingFG          Finish Good        lot tracking + serial trackingHere is the description how the FG where built and for what result we are loo

Hi,Is there a way of receiving by-products automatically to a different location other than the Shop Order’s proposed location?We have tried to implement a custom event to move the by-products to their default floor stock location after they’re received, but unfortunately getting this error: “ORA-20105: Transaction.OVERLOAD”, when trying to use Inventory_Part_In_Stock_API.Move_Part, since there are two procedures with the same name.Is anyone able to suggest another API method which I could use for this, or better yet, a solution which can be achieved with standard functionality?I am considering having putaway zones set up, and having the event perform putaway instead.Thanks!
