I am starting to use operation blocks to optimize the schedule and I’m struggling to use the Manufacturing visualizer to represent what an operator will see in the shop floor work bench (SFWB).  The sequence I typically use is:Assign operation blocks in shop order operations. Determine sequence based on load and need dates. Schedule operation blocks in Operation Blocks overview using predecessor blocks and forward scheduling. Review in Operation blocks Manufacturing visualizer grouped by Operation block ID. Review in SFWB from an operator's perspective.Situation:  The scheduler has applied operation blocks to operations and has the work sequenced and scheduled.  In the manufacturing visualizer, with operation blocks don’t represent the sequence and therefore the user must use the operation block overview screen to review sequences (not graphically).  Any changes to shop order quantities via merge or updating the shop order lot size causes the shop order to change its dates and scheduli

We have a PO (A90081) linked to SO (1889644). The PO is for an external operation related to SO 1889644.Previously, the user over-received the SO and reported all items as received. They have since reversed the over-receipt for the part on the SO, but we are still encountering the error: "Cannot ship more than completed in previous operation" when trying to receive the PO. I believe this may be due to the need to reverse the operation report as well. However, I am unsure how to proceed.Could you please advise on how to resolve this error?

To me it looks like the material bottleneck settings have been swapped in the logic. “Always Finite” components will be scheduled in Shop Orders with planned goods receipts. If I switch to “Finite” the Shop Orders gets “Unscheduled”!? 

Morning,IFS Help on this utility is non-existent, and IFS Support once again refuse to help describing this as a training issue.All I want to understand is what logic the utility uses to re-classify parts.Thanks in advance if anyone has any documentation they can share.Chris.

Hi All,How to activate variables as a result of analysis? 

Is it possible to backflush from a location if the stock has a catch qty?

hello everyone,The issue arises when I try to link a particular shipment part (PO for that project) to a work order for the project—an error occurs. However, if the same part is attached to a work order for a different project, it functions correctly. The error consistently happens with all work orders for that specific project, and there are seven parts in that shipment.only one part is working properly ont hat specific project

After rolling costs for multiple items simultaneously, the inventory valuation was affected in an unintended manner. Is there a way to rollback a cost roll? Thank you for your help in advance

Hi, does anybody know, how to set up the history log in the IFS 7.5?Thank you Pavel Míl

Hello Team IFS,I have a request from our customer to change automatically the statut of a product structure.We create a new revision from the “Product Structure” page by copying the latest revision. Then this new revision become “Buildable”. The feature we want is to change automatically the status of the Old revision to “Obsolete”. Because even if the phase out date is passed the old product structure remains as “Buildable”. We don’t want this to avoid missclicking from users. Thanks for your help :)

Our company has one manufacturing site that supplies all other [seven] sites using distribution orders. So, our main site (Site1) has a mix of [Inventory Part] Part Types of Manufactured and Purchased while the other sites (Site2-Site8) have all Part Type = Purchased Raw. We would like the cost structure of our inventory parts to be identical throughout all sites. Currently, Site1 uses Costing Template M-110 which breaks out cost into cost buckets 100, 200, and 221. Site2-Site8 uses costing template P-110 which accumulates all of the cost in bucket 110 (because these parts are “purchased”). Is is possible to make all 8 sites have the same [M110] cost structure that break the costs out into the three different buckets? (even though Site2-Site8 does not have product structures or routings in their sites...) Furthermore, we update all our part costs periodically. We plan to calculate the cost in Site1 (because this is where the product structures and routings exist) but then would like it

Hi,Any idea as how the supply quantity in the Inventory Part Availability Planning Screen is calculated when both Scrap Factor and Multiple Lot Size are given. Example: Scrap Factor 40, Multiple Lot Size 10. After PMRP run, system shows Supply in IPAP screen as 102 as shown below: Quantity in PR is correct as 170However, if Multiple Lot size is changed to 50, scrap factor is still 40 then after PMRP run, Supply is shown in IPAP screen as 120 as below: Quantity in PR is correct as 200.In both the scenario, PR quantity is correct but not able to understand the calculation logic shown in Inventory Part Availability Screen. Regards,Shahnawaz Farooqui

We create DOP orders from Customer Orders where no lead time is set, and the lead time is effectively 0. However, the planned delivery date and the due date on the DOP order show a 1-day difference. Why is there a 1-day difference even though no lead time is specified?  

24.1.3.Setup:Multi-level product structure looks like this:FG PW-PSM-000 is lot tracked, weighted average, cost per lot. For all subassemblies Negative On Hand Allowed = YES (no lot tracking). Safety Stock = 0 for all parts. All components have zero on-hand quantity and zero supply/demand. Lower subassemblies assigned default picking locations. Customer order for 2000 tons of FG PW-PSM-000 is the only demand relevant for this structure. Looking only at the IPAP situation for the manufactured parts through the following steps.Run MRP for customer order line (selective MRP). IPAP results:Report production receipt for 2100 tons (overproduction) of PW-PSM-001, driving the on-hand of level 1 negative. IPAP results:Run Selective MRP for low level 1. IPAP results:Why did level 2 demand and supply remain at 2000? Expected it to see the level 1 supply of 2100 as its ‘new’ net requirement.

Many manufacturing companies sell complete products, but actually manufacture and ship the main components and do the final assembly on site at the customer. Main reason to do so, is when the complete product requires a lot of transportation volume. A good example is a furniture manufacter selling tables. The table legs and top are manufactured and shipped. On site the table is assembled.So, I want to sell and “make” a table, but actually manufacture, pick, pack and ship the main components. Often these type of companies work with CtO and DOP. What would be the best way to implement this type of manufacturing in IFS Cloud? 

HiWhen we do an Engineering Revision Transfer our manufacturing site complain that data in the product structure is being overwritten.They have entered data in column “Consumption Item”. Some parts they have set as “Consumed” and some parts in the same structure have been set as “Not Consumed”.However, when we do the transfer, all parts are changed to “Consumed” which is quite annoying.Also data as Scrap factor and Reserve/Issue from Loc are being overwritten.Can anybody tell me how we can prevent this overwriting of data?Best regardsTove Virkelyst

Community, Does IFS has ATP report available out of box? Thank you.

Community, Is it possbile in IFS to make a designated warehouse for service business only? currently we are using parts that are being used by both manifacturing and service.  We are in IFS APP10. Thank you.

Trying to create a new calendar, I set up new Day Type, New Schedule and a new calendar and when I try and generate the calendar, I receive an error saying “The Work Time Counter does not exist.”  Not sure what I am missing.

Hi all,We are implementing Aurena and doing some testing and I have a shop order where the start date and finish dates are the same. The routing is set up with no M/C run time and a Labour run time of 240 hours.The need date is 3 months in the future.Reardless of the direction of scheduling should the operation hours be reflected in the Start date and finsh date, i.e. 240 hours different. Thereofre with a need date of 21/10/24 and backward scheduling have a finish date of 18/10/24 and a Start date of 06/09/24 Thanks in advance

Is there any option to send one inventory part for an external supplier for processing and receive two different inventory parts in return each in different quantities?Ex- If we send 1000lb of ABC inventory part to supplier X and (supplier is doing the operation) receive 700lb of Inventory part 123 and 300lb of Inventory part 456.would this be feasible?

The DOP process completely stops the netting process, if the shop orders for certain sub assemblies already have serial numbers assigned, and if we trying to net from inventory sourced orders.  Does anyone have an idea, on this issue?

Issue Description: Shop Floor Workbench "Identify"Environment version: IFS Cloud 23R1Details:Test Plan>> Navigate to Shop Floor Workbench window>> Type in the number 1 into the Employee box in the Identification Popup>> We would like to get rid of the List of Values that come up as people type in their badge number into the Employee Field. Here as 1002 - ABCD, 1004 - PQRS Here, concern is that In the Shop Floor Workbench screen, when an employee goes to Identify, as they type in their badge number, a list of values populates with other employees that have the same beginning numbers. We want to eliminate that list of values completely.If anyone don't want any other employee numbers or names to come up as they type. Is this possible? Please see the attached screenshots for reference. They don't want employees to be able to log into the Shop Floor Workbench as other employees.

Hi,When we close a shop order, the inventory item is being booked into inventory at a different cost from the actual shop order cost, with the difference being booked as SODIFF+ and SODIFF- (also shown as Calc Variance), and we can’t understand how the numbers in SODIFF+ and SODIFF- are being calculated.I’ve attached screenshots of the General tab, the Costs tab and the Misc Part Info tab from the Inventory Part screen, as well as the Overview Unit Cost tab and the Cost Estimate tabs from the Shop Order Costs screen. On the Overview Unit Costs tab of the Shop Order Costs screen we understand the Accum Cost figure of £8,339.49 as we can see the detailed breakdown of this under Actual Cost Details, but we don’t understand how the Calc. Variance figure of £1,601.75 is calculated.  The product has been booked into inventory at the total value of £9,941.24, so this is impacting on inventory value.I understand that in some instances the shop order looks at estimated cost, however the Cost Es
