Hi All,according to this Video (11:05) it is possible to enable RoHS in the ECO-footprint part-information. (APPS 10 ) However, in Cloud 24R2 there is no such an option on the same page.Is it possible that this function is blocked and we need another module?

Is anyone experiencing issues with Shop Orders set to Auto Close intermittently not closing on Manual Receive?We have had a number of instances recently where this has occurred (resulting in a rather expensive assembly being received twice...)Early days of investigation currently but it doesn’t seem to be only one user/part/site and all bar two have Close Code of ‘Auto Close’We are on 23R1.10.Any feedback appreciated!    ThanksLinda

I want to change operation status from ‘Partially reported’ to ‘Released’. So I tried to remove record from Shop Floor Clocking. But it gives me “Parallel operations should be scheduled in the same direction” . I try changing scheduled direction but it is not worked. How can I remove these records.  

HiThe customer sends me materials to produce. In IFS, I enter this as customer-owned material. Then I produce it and sell it as customer-owned material and receive a labor fee.At present, the customer sent me the relevant materials that need to be repaired. As a return, I have to enter the materials, repair them and send them back.How can I deliver the products owned by the customer to my warehouse by entering a return record according to the sales order? This is not allowed on the sales item return screen.  

Dear experts,We are in the process to implement Project Budget (Forecast) functionality for one of our client who is in Project based manufacturing business.I understand that Project Budget functionality only controls Procurement related transactions against a pre-defined active budget, however, system is not checking Project budget for Purchase Order/Purchase Requisitions generating for outside operation on Shop Order releasing.Though, system properly updating Planned Committed Cost, Committed Cost for Shop Order but not updating Purchase Order related cost on project.Not sure whether I am missing some setup.​@Marcel.Ausan  ​@Buddhika Kurera ​@matt.watters 

I have a shop order that I want to unissue, but I’m getting the following error.  Furthermore, if I try to reverse the quantity shipped for an external operation, I’m encountering the following error.  

Dear Community,We are encountering a peculiar issue when trying to use the IFS Advanced Planning (APB). The application opens successfully; however, the login page fails to appear, and instead, the following error message is displayed:"The security certificate for this site has been revoked. This site should not be trusted." Typically, when we encounter certificate-related issues in IFS Report Designer, we resolve them by exporting the certificate and saving it in the specified location. However, in this instance, this approach doesn't seem to resolve the issue with APB.We've reviewed potential causes but haven't been able to pinpoint the exact reason behind this b

We have received the below from a user - and i have tried to find any documentation in IFS help but unable to find anything relevant: for info : IFSADMIN login works the same as the user - is there a reason its greyed out but its accessible via a fudge? HelloI believe I should be able to access the Routing Lot size tab in the routings screen for the routing type ‘Repair’ as it can be accessed when using a Prototype or Manufacturing routing type: The tab is greyed out for the repair routing for 5067s for example: …but not on the Prototype or

In IEE our R&D users were allowed to modify the approver on an approval line. In Cloud 24R1 SU5, it seems like they can’t unless they have docman access. We don’t want to grant docman system privileges because it will make it so they have more than what they need. We only want them to be able to modify the approver on an approval line. I have granted them full access to ApprovalRoutingAttachmentHandling, ApprovalTemplateHandling, and ApprovalsHandling and none of these grants give access to simply modify an existing approval line when in IEE users were able to do this. Are there any projection grants that I’m missing that will allow the R&D team to modify existing approval lines? We have set our templates up so that they are exactly that, templates, we add and remove as needed but some names on the approvals templates are placeholders for specific users. In cloud they are having to delete the line and readd it where in IEE they could just modify. If we’re not m

I would like to have a review of 24R2 version. Is there a test instance which I could have a look and test of the product?If not, is there a way to get a trial license to test the product to understand it better?

Hello Team,Our customer would like to report shop order operation time on future date.IFS is blocking him with this message : I kow that it’s possible to register project time in the future but it seems not to be possible on shop order operations.Thanks in advance

Hello all, Is it possible (in IFS Cloud) to have the Planned Finish Date/Time updated automatically in the Shop Floor Workbench when only a part of the shop order is approved? For example:The operation qty is 10.000, they will be placed on pallets (approximately 4 pallets). Planned Finish Date is 10-01-2025 When the first pallet needs to be replaced because it`s full, the amount on this pallet is approved in the Shop Floor Workbench (2500 pcs). Apparently, the expected 4 pallets will not take 2 days per pallet, as scheduled, but since the 1st pallet is finished after 1 day, there is a great need to record this change in numbers, but also to gain insight into the accurate planning that adapts to the numbers still to be made. Not so much the recalculation of the items still to be made, but in any case the correction of 1 day on the items already made (and therefore booked), which would at least shorten the Planned Fini

Dear Community, I’m looking for suggestions on how to automatically block future register arrivals of specific part numbers from being used in manufacturing.Specifically, I need a solution where, upon receiving a part number into our system, subsequent register arrivals for this part number would be automatically blocked from being used (for example, through availability control). The key requirement is that this process should be fully automated, without manual intervention. Thanks,Ada

We’re working with a client for whom certain Product Structures which contain a specified components specify a quantity of “As Needed” for it. This appears to be due to the fact that they always know they’re going to need this component but the quantity cannot be determined until the Manufacturing Process has actually started. Once this has happened the Manufacturing staff simply go and take what they need for the order that is in progress. However in other Product Structures this same component can appear with both a specified quantity and Unit Of Measure so there is no consistencyThis particular component has no unit of measure defined for it (we can manage this using the * No Unit defined) UoM when creating the Part Master and when including it in a Product Structure it is added as 1*, but how can we manage this component both from a UoM (as it needs to have an * UoM in some cases and an oz UoM in others) and also an MRP perspective.

In Apps10 IEE, I want to use the visualizer in the Labor Load Details screen, specifically the Labor Load Summary graphic, to view the scheduled operation hours in a work center for a given day against that work center’s capacity hours. What I get instead for capacity is the sum of labor capacity for the entire labor class. Take for example the below:The work center ELRPR has 9.32 hours loaded on the date 12/10/24. The work center capacity on any given day is 9.56 hours.Therefore I expect the visual to show that the work center is near fully loaded for that day. Instead, the capacity that is considered in the visual is 434 hours (for every work center), which comes from the labor class’s total capacity for any given day. This causes the visual to show that every work center is near 0% loaded for any given day.  

 Hello All, I am looking at connecting a part to a production line so I can use the unscheduled receipts function to convert unsterile manufactured parts into sterile parts with minimal admin. The steriliser is run several times a day, with multiple parts, so using Shop Orders would create a lot of admin work. The Sterile parts have a forecast and are Master Scheduled. The production receipts for the sterile parts are created manually, as are the Shop Orders for the unsterile parts, but I want MRP to generate the Purchase Requisitions for the components based off the forecast. I’ve set up a stucture like below, and tested out and all seems to be working as I hoped. However, the help function for the Production Line is confusing me - it suggests MRP is cancelled when it reaches a Production Line part, but this is not what I am seeing.​@Björn Hultgren I think we have spoken about Product

Hi,The issue we have is that a part is normally purchased. (Part type = Purchased in Inventory Part => cost template P-140 Planned purchased cost template ). But occasionally it is required to manufacture the part locally. When manufacturing locally the shop order also need outside operations.But with this setup the Shop Order is missing cost buckets to collect the outside operation costs and therefor we are unable do arrival for outside operation related purchase order. Currently we are solving the issue by temporarily changing the part type to Manufactured at the time of arrival of the outside operation related purchase order and then immediately change it back. (because we want to ensure that the MRP generated SO-req and not PO-req)I suppose that one solution could be to add manufacturing related cost buckets into cost template P-140 but I don’t believe that is the recommended way to handle this. If so why should we have different cost templated for manufa

How can we remove the permission to create new project transactions from a permission set?

Hello,We are using IFS Applications 9, and I am trying to disable the right-click (RMB) functionality in the "OP Reports" tab of the Shop Floor Workbench for specific users. Could someone please assist with the process to implement this restriction?Thank you in advance for your help!  

From the documentation and experience it looks like if you run PMRP per Activity, it will do no netting at all. But what, if any, will be the difference between running “Perform PMRP per Project PNG” for the whole site and running “Perform Project MRP per Planned Netting Group” also for the whole site if we only have project PNGs? Why are these two jobs needed anyway? To the untrained eye it would seem that “Perform Project MRP per Planned Netting Group” would do the job in both cases (both when you have project PNGs and PNGs over project boundaries).

Hello,We have some manufactured parts that are not appearing in the "As-Built Structure" or "Serial Object."From my understanding, they should show up automatically, but perhaps some settings are missing.Could someone guide me on the required settings?Thanks,Golo

If you’re using the Barcode ID functionality when receiving goods, and also use automatic netting between activities, the barcode ID will become useless the moment the quantity in stock is moved either from standard inventory to a project activity or between project activities. This is since the Barcode ID will have a connection also to the project activity where the part was bought or made.Any ideas on a solution to this problem? Re-labeling is difficult since the netting is done automatically. And I cannot see any way to make the Barcode ID functionality ignore the activity seq key, e g when using WaDaCo. Updating the Barcode ID when the netting is done also seems a bit problematic - maybe not the whole quantity is moved etc.  

I have a question regarding splitting Shop Orders. Is there a solution in IFS Cloud to split an order with a lot size larger than one into multiple orders in one and the same operation? As I understand it now, this has to be done one by one.

Hi,When running Apps 10 I have qualification profiles assigned against routing work guidelines based on employee competencies. I need the work guidelines signed off by a suitably qualified employee. This all works fine in Enterprise Explorer from the shop floor workbench when signed in as an employee, however in Aurena there does not appear to be any work guideline functionality on the shop floor workbench, so that if I was to use the shop order work guideline screen, this does not allow me to enter as an employee and so bypasses qualification requirements.Has anyone had any success in using qualification profiles on work guidelines in Aurena, if so how? Or is this just missing functionality in Aurena? ThanksAndy

Hello,I need help to correctly set the deadlines in subcontracting, I was in V9 we had this problem and I do not see any improvement on the 23r1. I created an external load item and attached a calendar to it, telling it 1 day = 60mm so that I could talk in days but not in hours for subcontracting. I don't know if there's a simpler way of setting this up.The problem with what I'm doing is that when the subcontracting operation is in progress, if I recalibrate my production order, it doesn't recalibrate the external operation dates correctly. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)  as long as the external operation is in Released status, the recalibration takes the 10-day
