Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

We issue shelf life materials as we use them. We have instances where 1 logical location has multiple lot batches to issue for the same part #. Is there a way to have the technician scan a lot batch barcode, and then only the options for that lot batch show to be issued?  We enter the Manual Issue from the material tab in Shop Floor Workbench  

In our metal shop, we’re attempting to optimize raw material by producing parts that will consume full steel sheets. As an example, if we are producing A123, Quantity 50, we want to automatically produce Quantity 50 of B123. These two parts/quantities can be produced on one sheet of sheet. We looked at the byproduct receipt function, however we do not think that will work. To us, the byproduct receipt function is more for donuts and donut holes. If you are making a donut, you simply punch out the center and you have your finished product. In our example with steel the byproduct needs additional operations.We looked into setting it up in the structure, however that doesn’t look like an option either.Ideas that will help us make this work. Or are we chasing something that IFS Apps10 cannot accommodate?

Hello, I’m in 23R1 and seeing some unexpected behaviour with MS Level 1 parts when I run Site level MRP. I have 20 Manufactured parts that are MS Level 1 parts. Create S/P is set to create S/P Entire Horizon and when I run the MS calculation, everything works as I expect and Shop Order Requisitions are generated. If I then run selective MRP based on the Planner these parts share, the demand flows down and MRP generates Purchase Requisitions for the component parts. However, if I run MRP for the entire Site, MRP generates a handful of Shop Orders for the MS Level 1 parts. I did some investigating and this seems to happen if the on-hand quantity is below the safety stock. If I Re-Run MS after this, the MRP generated requisitions are then deleted. Is this a bug? The parts are top-level sales parts and not in any other structures.  Requisitions Generated by both MS & MRP for the same part:  

Hi All, I’m interested in the ‘best practice’ way to use Shop Order Auto Processing for MS Level 1 parts. I’m in 23R1. I have a set-up where we use Auto Processing to covert the MS generated SORs within the PTF. This is because we have several routing alternates for each SO and the planners are working from the Visual Capacity Planning Screen to ensure all work centers are fully utilized. The planners resolve the overloads primarily by changing the routing alternate, so need to work with SOs rather than SORs. The work centers have different costs, speeds & resource shares, so we moved away from using multiple resources in one work center. The Auto Processing job works great most of the time and saves a lots of clicks. However, I hadn’t realized if for any reason the Shop Order needs to be deleted/cancelled, the original SOR remains in place and still shows as planned supply. As we have the S/P setting to Create S/P Req & the Generate Fixed MS set as on, running the MS calculati

Hi,Is there any report to see the raw material consumption for a particular period from IFS?Thanks in advance..

Hi, in our business, every shop order needs manual labor. We would like that shop orders cannot be closed if no time has been reported, is that possible? We sometime have operators who mistakenly approve the wrong shop order in the time clock or the SFW, we would like to avoid this.

Dear Community,I have to 2 variables location_no and next_location.I give a condition to the table.  I try to pass next page when next_location different then location_no:tns:location_no != tns:next_locationOr It will be pass when  location_no change But condition doesn’t work it.Can someone help please?  

Can we determine the total quantity of parts produced for a specific component (part) at a site within a single calendar year?

Hi All,Good MorningObserved that, Few new fields are being introduced on Shop Order screen viz.Pre Inspection Report Required,  Final Inspection Report Required,  Quality Plan Required and COC Required but Don’t see any information either in E-Learning and 24R1 Release Note. Is it something Development in Progress on this. Thanks to confirm.RegardsLokesh

Hello, I have been looking for help on the FIFO picking in IFS (for Customer Orders and Shop Orders). I am looking to confirm that when IFS generates a picklist, that it is directly the associate to the oldest stocking record so that we are using our oldest material and shipping our oldest product. Is there a way to verify this is properly configured in IFS Apps 10? Any guidance would be appreciated. 

Hi, In the standard IFS Cloud is there a way to trigger maintenance work (a Work Order may be) automatically when we start a downtime for a Work Center Resource in the Shop Floor Workbench ? Machine operator is starting a downtime due to a fault in the machine. As a result, the maintenance crew needs to be alerted about this (we can use a custom event for that). The important requirement is, that the system to create something like a Work Order automatically in this instance. So, the maintenance crew can record all the required work tasks, task assignments and all of that properly through the system. Using the IFS Cloud version 22R1.

Hi, we have a common scenario in Apps10 where there is a Customer Order Line with supply code “DOP Order”, and the DOP Order is linked to a Shop Order.We’ve noticed that once the Shop Order has been completed, the DOP Order closes and the “Qty Complete” field is populated with the total qty received from the Shop Order.Occasionally, a customer order is cancelled after we have already closed the shop order.We’re able to reopen the shop order, unreceive the manufactured qty, and unissue the materials, but this does not seem to impact the DOP Order. The “Qty Complete” field doesn’t change which means we’re unable to cancel either the Shop Order or DOP Order.Would appreciate any advice on this!

Hi,I’m new in the community and haven’t found any topic covering my request.In IFS 10 we had option to create a SQL query with dynamic date parameters like WORK_DAY between trunc(to_date( '#TODAY#', 'YYYY-MM-DD' )) and trunc(to_date( '#TODAY#', 'YYYY-MM-DD' )) + 10How can I perform such a query in IFS Cloud?Thanks a lot for your reply.

Anyone has this experience? If we need to use this SO Multilevel Repair Structure, we  have to have an "As-Built" Structure from SO b4 hand.  Then how you will handle if it is a new client and they do not have any SO done b4 for customer, but they will receive parts that needs to be repaired from Customer b4 IFS start to be used.  Will the practise is the customer needs to Create the Manufacturing SO for the Repaired part (So that the system will create the As-built Structure) they receive from Customer in order to do repair SO?  Thank you in advance.  Ada. 

Hello CommunityI’m trying to reserve SN in shop order by Aurena REST call, and i found out that first I need to get objkey for SerialReservationSet by calling POST with shop order details payload. But what does the objkey for LU SerialReservationVirtual really refers to? Does it refer to some database object? 

Hello,maybe someone can help me to understand:In Inventory part in stock the available quantity of the part let’s say is 10. I registered MRB case for that Inventory part in stock record: MRB case quantity is 2.MRB case is in progress.Do MRB part quantity should somehow influence the available quantity of the part - to make it less, because some parts are under MRB?I see that MRB is not influencing the available part quantity.Is it correct that part quantity under MRB doesn’t influence part available quantity?I can select Availability control ID - Not Available, but it will make not available all quantity. But only 2 pieces are under the MRB.Could you explain what is the reason to register MRB for the part in stock if it doesn’t influence the part availability for MRB quantity? Or maybe I am doing something wrong in MRB case, that available part quantity is not changing? 

Hi Experts,Is there anyway by which DOP orgini PR's can be merged to one PO ?Tried figuring out all possibilities but no success.We are using IFS CLOUD 24R1Thanks !RegardsLokesh Rao @Björn Hultgren @Bob Corrigan : Appreciate your thought on this.

Hello,I am trying to display the technical drawings for the shop order components in the Shop Floor Workbench screen.Setup is the following :Technical drawing + tehcnical drawing revision entered in the dedicated screen ✅ Documents are attached to the revision On part revision, technical drawing no & technical drawing revision are entered✅ Documents of technical drawing are displayed in the Part revision screen (source : Technical Drawing recvision) On Shop Floor workbench, the technical drawing is not displayed (on the material line of the component)❌ Has anyone find a solution to displays the technical drawing for the shop order materials ?Ideally the revision would be fetch from SO reservationThank youNB : FYI A topic has already been answered for the top-level part of the shop order :  

Selling parent part number X and the manufacturing process is instantaneous when delivering the final product. Objective:Upon processing a delivery order, automatically backflush the component inventory without a shop order being processed. The final product would need to remain with the top level sale part numberIn other ERP systems, able to issue the component material directly to the delivery order with the proper configurations. I’ve attempted phantom at the component level but it seems it still requires a shop order to process. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,How can we add a drawing file with pdf extension that I added to the inventory part to a standard or development report printed on the work order?Kind regards,

Hello Guys,Is it possible to use the variables :i_hWndFrame.xxxxx in the Custom Menu as a parameter ?My user is asking me to put some columns in the output of the Compare Manufacturing Structures but it is not possible. Then the only solution is to create something on out Intranet receiving parameters from the form. Something like this: http://172.16.12.2/test_luca/Compare_Manufacturig_Structure.php?db_sid=#DB_SID#&part1={&:i_hWndFrame.frmBomStructureComparing.ecmbParentPart1}&part2={&:i_hWndFrame.frmBomStructureComparing.ecmbParentPart2}Thank a lot !!

Hello,  We have a shop order created with structure Rev 2. We have updated the structure to Rev 3. We would like to add a repair. However, the system prevents us to update the repairs and showing this error message : Field [Structure Revision} in Shop Order may not be modified. I then check in the IFS community topics and found out about Mass Update SO Structure. I fill everything as required and I run the page. However, when I check the background job status, I have the following showing. No data found to update for the given criteria. Please help, thanks !

Hello Community!When copying costs to cost set one, IFS informs: “ Part not copied. Check calculation dates”. Which dates we must check? Via rightmousebutton we can click “check calculation date” but we are not able to solve out what happens. Any tips? (IFS9)
