In IFS Cloud 24R1 UPD 5, Inventory Part has a classification called Product Category which is a drop-down list.  However, I could not find any basic data page where values can be added to Product Category. Couldn’t find any content in the IFS Product Documentation regarding this field and the Inventory Part page has no Field Description for it either.  Can someone help please?TIA

Hi, I’d like to suggest some enhancement for the very useful Quick Preview feature IFS Cloud offers for some files types when using Document Management.Currently, we can : Rotate Zoom in/out with a slider (with no real-time preview)I suggest 2 other functionnalities that would be more ergonomic to use, especially with touch devices :Zoom In and Zoom out buttons : zoom in or out by increment (10% ?) Full page : auto scale the document to display the full picture (if image) or full page (if PDF)    This would seriously increase the ergonomy to view some technical drawings in the Shop Floor Workbench screen for example.Best regards, Pierre

Hello,As seen in the attached picture on the Quality Basic Data page, the marked parts are not marked. However, its status is inactive as seen in the 2nd picture on the Control Plan page. Then, when activated as shown in the 3rd picture, it automatically marks the Mandatory part. Then, on the Quailty Basic Data page, the marked area in the 4th picture becomes ticked. How can I avoid this situation? 

Community, Any experience, how to create project safety stock in IFS?  We are in APP10, UPD9. Thank you.

Will there always be MRP make entries in MRP Part Information and Inventory Part Availability Planning for phantom parts? I guess they are needed for the correct explosion of demands to the next level, but users think it is confusing since they will not create any shop order requisitions.

In any version, is it possible to determine if a shop order was the result of a comprehensive shop order split?

Hello,I can’t change some of shop orders size. When I want to change it or increase it, it says “The shop order estimate cost of the manufactured part will be negative. This is not allowed. Check By-Product setup.”How can I change the lot size of shop order?   

Currently, we are encountering a hard stop error at shop order receipt whenever we attempt to consume a subassembly part that is associated with an open MRB into the parent shop order. The error message reads: "Component part serial 'part number/' exists in an open MRB case; receipt cannot be processed." While we are able to issue the component to the shop order, we are unable to complete the shop order receipt due to this issue.For context, the MRB pertains to a limited subset of impacted parts, not all parts of that part number. Additionally, these parts are both serial and lot-tracked, but it seems the MRB screen does not support the use of unique identifiers so it’s grouping all inventory tied to that part number. We’re currently on Apps 10 Update 20 in the IEE Client.I’m interested in learning how other members of the community are managing MRBs (Material Review Boards) for subassemblies. Any insights or best practices on how to handle this situati

​​​​​​Hi, Has anytnig  changed in that topic? Is there  any way to force the system  to  take the tool for calculations?   If we have 1 tool that we used for manufacturing several products and we have  1 work center with several resources that this tool can be used.  How can I set the system not to schedule this product at the same time?   

Hello IFS family, As we have a standard functionality in ‘Inventory part in stock’ screen to print barcode we want to have the same functionality on Transport task line, first of all is that feasible? I tried creating a custom menu for the same and stuck here, as in the process to trigger a barcode from a data line when we click on the custom menu a new barcode Id needs to be generated and stored in the ‘inventory_part_barcode_rep’ view as it works for the existing functionality. But I checked and this - ‘inventory_part_barcode_rep’ is in read-only state as seen below, so how do I add the data for triggering the data. Please suggest a way out of this or maybe a tot

In shop order operation using IFS Apps10 we have assigned the operation to 2 employees with different labor class. I found that in estimated cost for the shop order the labor cost is taken from the labor class of operation line level and not from assigned employees. how this point can be resolved?Thank you.

Fields from empty data in this element appear as NA. How to change that these NA s are 0.

Following question was raised to the IFS Support.The amount of the Purchase Order is 420,000. Progress is calculated to be 25%. However, the DOP amount is 420,000. This is 28.57% progress. Although the amounts are the same, the progress is different. The document says that progress is calculated from the amount of the object.Why do we get different progress rates even though the object amounts are the same?The monitoring amounts are different because of the different progress rates.This is what we initially inquired about. Why are the monitoring amounts different? Following answer was provided by IFS Support for 3 different scenarios.

Community, Do we have a detail report for Inventory Part Supply/Demand Details out of box? it should be the info that be drilled down to below RMB function and bring the demand/supply info about on one single report. 

Hi,Does anyone knows if IFS provides UFI (unique formula identifier) codes functionality?UFI is a code printed on products with hazardous mixtures meant to help calls to poison control centers to determine the contents.Best regards,Bernadeta

There are ways to define an employee’s default team in Shop Floor Employees by Site.  However, I have found that when you log in to Shop Floor Workbench by that team, you still MUST add people to that team BEFORE you can do any team transactions.  Has anyone encountered this anomaly before?  Has anyone developed a CRIM to transfer the employees listed as team members in Shop Floor Employees by Site to the employees on the team logged in to Shop Floor WorkBench?  

On Shop Order > Control Plan tab we turned history log tracking on for some columns. The cells that I select are populating in the Record History / History Log. This issue is also occurring for a custom field created in the Analysis Results page. The results show in the oracle database, but I am unable to find them in IFS.We turned history log on for some columns in the material and operations tabs without issue we have had no issues, history log its functioning properly and accessible via View>Record History. This is true for IFS standard and custom fields

We noticed that last count dates remain with the location after we have moved a lot batch from it. Our cycle counting criteria is to have the count history/tracking tied to lot batches. My question is, is Last Count Date a functionality of location counting only or can we somehow configure IFS to tie or link a  count date to lot batch and have that count date follow or trail the lot batch as it is being transacted from location to location. 

Hello,When we navigate in a product structure (TDC5961 for example), a data mapping error due to type mismatch occurs.The components don’t go back. What is strange is that all the lower TDC orders are indeed present but do not "retranscribe" as components. The error does not come from the product structure either, which is in "Constructible" status and the components are also associated with it. I looked on Community and they refer to support tickets. In addition, the error is random, sometimes it happens on TDCs taken over and other times on new TDCs created. Same on the levels, sometimes the upper level is devoid of components but at the lower level they are there. 🙁 We had compared the IFS 7.5 and Cloud tables and no change. Everything is taken over identically both with those in error and those without errors.The error messages are the following :{"@odata.context":"https://url_prod/main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/DopHeaderHandling.svc/$metadata#Dop

We have automation to create part numbers based on templates. I’m creating new parts based on the template setup and receiving this error “Error in SetManufactureStructureStatus- Item_num:4712032 Error:ORA-20110: ProdStructAlternate.NO_COMP: An Alternative without Components cannot be promoted to Buildable.” I’ve looked to see where I can add components to the alternative but can’t see where there even is an alternative. Has anybody seen this before?

We have shop orders in process that will be completed but cannot ship until quality approves shipping. Inventory is lot tracked. We cannot put availability control on the lot because the shop order is still in process. What is the best practice to prevent a shop order from shipping when it is completed? Can availability control be setup ahead of time so that when the shop order is received into inventory, there is a control on it?  Regards,Eric 

Hi All,In our work with shop orders we are not assigning employees or teams to the shop order operations but we would still like to see who is completing the operation. I do not see a record of the modify user or am I able to find a way to track this using the history log. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi, In our current process, we reserve materials in the warehouse (picking locations). The warehouse worker moves those reserved goods to the production floor with a transport task (which is inside a warehouse task). The operator issues the materials and starts the shop order clocking. We want to make sure that the operator can only issue after the warehouse worker has finished the warehouse task. So he should only be able to issue from the inbound or specified locations (not from the picking locations).Is this possible?
