Community, we have a part which is lot controlled. currently we have 2 bags of this part but with different lot batch number. my question is, how to merge this 2 bags into one lot batch number? We are on APP10 UPD9.Thank you.

Hi, a bit of background on our operations: We are a machine shop that carry out repair of various products that are not manufactured by us (eg. pumps, valves gear boxes etc). For a specific part depending on the type of repair required, we have created standard product structures and routings. (for eg. for a specific part, I have four standard repair procedures for which pricing varies depending on which repair procedure is required, i can use product structure and routing to define these four repair procedures). We currently use a modified shop order to carry out repair activity using the Shop Order module which allows us to schedule and plan our work centers. Hence, I am looking for a solution where the sales team can select the part with its specific condition code, i can define the pricing using different condition codes. And once the customer order is released, the product structure and routing for that specific repair is automatically populated in the automatically created shop o

Hello,I was wondering if it is possible to use the acceptance sampling for not lot tracked parts, where the methodology would calculate then every time based on the lot size of the shop order.I have tested it, and it is possible - acceptance sampling calculates the sample size, however I am not sure what other consequences it might have? Thank you very much in advance for your help in this one.

Hello, I’ve raised an IFS case CS0346331 because in 24R2 considering the new Shop Floor LTU permission set we lost some projections for my customer that their employees were using.I can understand that the goal is to reduce at the strict minimum the permissions allowed to LTU users but some of the projections should be in the Shop Floor LTU.Here is the list of projections we “lost” due to the upgrade : I highlighted in yellow the ones that should be still available in the Shop Floor LTU permission set. indeed these projections allow us to access to these IFS pages : In these pages, we can quickly report some operations, with or without a barcode. While operations can already be approved in the shop floor workbench, this page is easier to understand and more suitable for certain quick operations than the shop floor workbench.

Hi, I have an Inventory Part but when we try to raise a Purchase order we get ‘No Revision Found For Inventory Part’This was transferred to Inventory Part form Engineering Part and is Revision 2Can anyone help Please?  

Dear All, When creating shop order from shop order requisitions, I have found the following behaviour. If a Shop Order is creating using the create shop order requisition the number will be set to a numerical number. Here 691.  If 2 others are created :  The next number is 265, meaning 2 others were created and deleted 263 and 264.Why do we have some shop orders created and removed ? Is it a normal behaviour ?  

Is there a way or setting to automatically trigger the UNOPFEED (cancel operation reporting) when unreceiving the shop order, and the UNOPFEED quantity matches the unreceived quantity?

What  can be the reason for this error message when I try to update 

24.2.3I have a purchased part (CC-PUR-KIT1) I need to disassemble into three components. This purchased part has a standard cost established in Cost Set 1 of $100 (using the standard template P-110 consisting of only cost bucket 110).I have a buildable disassembly structure alternate consisting only of the following produced parts that are disassembly components (no components, no by-products) and Use Cost Distribution = YES.PP1 - Op Cost Dist 30%, Gen OH Cost Dist 20%, Component Cost Dist 50%PP2 - Op Cost Dist 50%, Gen OH Cost Dist 30%, Component Cost Dist 20%PP3 - Op Cost Dist 20%, Gen OH Cost Dist 50%, Component Cost Dist 30%I have a buildable disassembly routing that consists of only one operation running at 1 hour/unit (op qty factor = 100%) in a Work Center that has only direct cost of $200/hour in cost sets 1 and 2 (no overheads defined).In my Site, I have added cost bucket 110 (EMC) to cost template D-110.For Cost Template D-110, Use Cost Distribution = YES, Use Manufactured Co

Hi Everyone,We have recently upgraded from APPS9 to APPS10 and have noticed that on the production receipt that the option to Backflush and Defer Backflush is no longer available.Has this capability been removed from APPS10? And if so is there an alternative procedure in APPS 10 to replace this?Many Thanks,Dan

I would like to ask whether it is possible to configure IFS Cloud 24.2.2 so that when manufacturing a new (valid) version of a product, the system automatically considers the new (valid) version of the input component as well.Currently, we are experiencing an issue where, during the reservation of input components for a Shop Order (setting Reserve/Issue Method is Reserve And Backflush), the system incorrectly reserves an older version of the component (if it is in stock) instead of the currently valid version. Is there a way to adjust this behavior in the system settings?Thank you for your help and advice.

Community, Does anyone know in 24R2 IFS Two Step Picking can be utilized to Manufacturing Shop Order Picking scenario?We are currently on APP10, i can see current verison only support customer order two step picking. Thank you.

Hi Community, Does anyone have a solution for searching a particular node and automatically expanding the tree structure in Project Deliverable Design screen.Refer Screenshots below.Project Deliverable Design How to search a component with Level wise traceability? It is like finding a needle in a haystack when the PD structure has 15000-20000 components with a 7-8 level structure as shown in the example below. Please suggest a solution.  

Is it possible to save an ordering (Order By) preference of a table column like you would save a specific search.We notice that if you leave the page where you have Ordered a column that you have to re-Order it the next time you return to that page. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent the ordering from resetting after you leave the page. I didn’t see any functionality related column Order By similar to the Saved Searches functionality. 

When I am click “Yes” to create a DOP Structure it gives me a warning.  However, when I look into the Configuration there is a structure 

Dear Community!I would greatly appreciate your expert insights and experiences regarding part number structures in IFS.We are currently analyzing different approaches to part number management, specifically comparing:    Using identical part numbers across the entire process (Engineering → Production → Sales)    Using separate part numbers for:        Internal use (Engineering Part/Inventory Part)        External use (Sales Part)I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on:    What approach do you use and why?    What are the main advantages and challenges you've encountered?    How does your chosen approach impact the entire process.Thank you for sharing your valuable experience and knowledge!Best regards,Ada

Hi,How it is possible to calculate Overheads to Shop Order, without it increases the WIP in Shop Order? GL Automatic Posting Rule is not a choice (for creating automatic posting for Debet M45 / Credit M40 after Overheads are applied), because of Shop Order’s value still gets increment.I tried to create a new Cost Set for this purpose, but I cannot see anywhere those Overheads at all.Any suggestions?Thank you all already!

Community,Would you be able to advise below highlighted, where is the below parameter in Customer window? 

Hi Everyone, We are using IFS Apps 10.  After doing our year end cost roll, we noticed a few of our parts on the “Part Cost” Screen did not carry over the cost build Cost Tree for component parts after we do a copy from Cost Set 2 to Cost Set 1. Our steps for the cost roll are as follows, for all parts, all run through background jobs Copy cost set 7 to cost set 2 (Controls defaults to select the Include Components and is not editable) Copy cost set 2 to cost set 1 (Controls does not default to select the Include Components and is not editable. We found later this can be editable if we add anything to the Cost Group, Part Status or Part No Field, even a %) The copy from Cost set 7 to Cost set 2 worked fine and brought over the components.  We can’t figure out a reason why some of the parts included the cost trees in Cost Set 1 and some didn’t. We looked at two similar parts (same accounting group, product family, product code, etc) and one of the parts had the cost tree with the compon

Hi,Is it possible to add a one-off document address on a customer order?You seem to have the address book icon to enter the address, but it won't actually let you type in it?Whereas with the delivery address you have the option of a single occurence?  

We have a few items that was acidentally been registered in IFS with the wrong revision and we would like to change this without changing all items in stock or all items with the same revision. Is this possible? Anyone who knows how? 

I have a two-part Shop order question:Is there a way to batch print Shop Orders. Is there a way to batch generate lot numbers for shop orders. Furthermore, can we allow lot numbers to be in some cases duplicated for the same part without IFS having to assigned a suffix (hyphenate with a -1, -2, etc) to the lot number.

Is it possible to add a component description to the tree view using the configuration (page designer)? 

Hi.  We are currently running IFS Cloud 23R1 in the Gov Cloud. My understanding based on release notes is that Constraint Based Scheduling (CBS) / Advanced Planning Board (APB) functionality will eventually be deprecated, to be replaced with Manufacturing Scheduling and Optimization (MSO) functionality.   We recently upgraded to 23R1, but the MSO functionality is not available, presumably because it is licensed separately.  We have security configured to secure ITAR data at the site level, so we have set up a regular non-ITAR site and an ITAR site for such locations.  These locations have work centers that are used for both ITAR and non-ITAR work, so separate work centers are set up in each site for the same physical work centers.  This results in a lot of manual work to maintain the schedules and capacity, so we are looking into a possible customization to have work center capacity / scheduling automatically updated for these work centers - so that when a shop order operation is creat

We are seeking a solution to the creation of material purchase requisitions directly from the Shop Order Materials tab within the IFS Application. This essential functionality is currently Not Available is the IFS Application, At present, users are required to manually input material requirements through the Purchase Requisition screen, which can be time-consuming.  and the function of “MRP” is available, however there is a connection between the “demands” and “supply” so a user cannot identify if his required materials have been ordered or not.Can we do it functionally or configuration?By adding the material purchase requisition creation process to the Shop Order Materials tab, the requisition would be linked to the shop order making it user-friendly and have accurate tracking of purchases to shop order. This will help to streamline operations, enhance accuracy, and ultimately improve productivity.Thanks
