Hi,We produce chemicals and each part has its Product Structure and some components-part type for these are Purchased (raw)-have alternante components. We use the screen Simulate Material Availability though we can’t seem to view the availability of the alternante component and there are no options to change one component for its alternante and view the overall availability. Cheers !

Hi Team,Is it any option available in IFS to restrict the user to do changes in the shop order lot size ? Other than custom event and screen properties. 

Customer needs to have a permission set for each tools in the attachments toolbar :1 permission set for Approval Process1 permission set for Corrective and Preventive Actions1 permission set for Documents1 permission set for Non conformance Report1 permission set for MediaWith that structure of permission sets, they can manage the access to the attachments toolbar for each user and what tools they will have access to. But they are getting an error when we trying to build that structure. As an example the permission set for Approval Process :To use the approval process they have granted the permission for the below the activities. But when they open the approval process tool, they are getting the below security error and you can also see that they have access to the corrective and preventive actions tool.  They have granted permission for Managecapa, but still getting the same error.

Why is there a gap between the start date of a parent DOP Order and the finish date of its component DOP Order?24.1.1Site Mfg. Calendar = 24/7 with all dates generated through 2030.Site Picking LT = 0.Each Work Center uses calendar 24/7 (1440 minutes/day) with capacity calculated through 2/15/2025.Each Work Center has only one resource, valid from 1/1/2020.All QPAs in every structure = 1.All lead times have been calculated (manufacturing, purchasing, cumulative).DOP Header is for 10,000 lb and is the only source of load for these work centers.DOP Structure has been created but not released.Each part consists of only one operation in a part-specific work center running at 1000 units/hour, so each level takes 10 hours.CRP has been performed.DOP Structure, all levels shown are manufactured parts. DOP Gantt Chart DOP Order details CRP Load showing gaps  I was expecting the four DOP Orders to be slotted for one day each from 8/29 back to 8/26.

Hi!We are having a problem when trying to create inventory parts for a new sales site, with the type code Purchased(raw).The master part is configurable, and it is manufactured on the manufacturing site.The manufacturing site has the inventory part created with type code manufactured.Routing heads and configuration structure heads are removed, so should not be an issue.When i try to create the inventory part for the site i get the error: We are running IFS Cloud 24.1.1.  

Hi All, I’ve been looking at a scenario where Master Scheduling is being used in conjunction with Order Gap time, but I’m struggling to understand the logic of how MPS is generated.  I’ve set up a simple example in my test environment (24R1) to demonstrate: Max Lot size = 10Order Gap Time = 1 (just to simplify - in reality this would be different hence why rate by period hasn’t be set up)Test 1 - Works as I would expect - the MPS generation stops at the PTF, so the system cannot keep the Projected balance positive and an Action Message is generated. Test 2 - However, if I split the forecast into 2 overlapping periods, the Order Gap time rule is ignored and multiple MPS/SORs are generated on the same day and the project balance is now always at 0 or above.If I add a large forecast at the PTF, I get a strange pattern, I think where each demand entry (forecast) is searching back for a free day, hitting the PTF and creating one SOR for the max lot size. However the overlapping demands are

We’re trying to include a Scrap Factor allowance for Purchased Parts so that when we Order some of them for use in a Manufactured Assembly, we can allow for the Scrap Allowance during the Purchasing part of the cycle not during the Manufacturing part.When you search on-line there seem to be 2 different formulae that can be used to calculate the Scrap Factor. The first is (Number of Scrap Items / Number of Completed Items)*100.Example: Demand 100Scrap Factor 20%(20/100=0.2)*100 = 20 The second is (Demand / (1-scrap factor) giving the equation Example: Demand 100Scrap factor 20%100/(1-.20)=125.We suspect based on our testing that when considering Scrap Factors in MRP that IFS is using the second of these 2 Formulae but can find nowhere in any of the Documentation that actually confirms this, can anyone help us out

IFSAPP10 UPD9 - We have an issue where when completing an operation that Receives into Inventory we can’t enter 2 different locations.Step one - approve Op and receive half of inventory to a location.  Have unclicked Close Operation.  Leave Report Time checked. Step two - approve op and receive rest of inventory to a new location.  OK button will not become active.  If I unclick Report Time OK is now active but I will receive a cost variance.Any ideas how to do this?

While testing the Shop Order Floor Workbench in IFS Cloud we have come across Cloud issues we see challenging in the way of navigating using the Shop Floor Workbench.Having to go outside Shop Floor Workbench to another window is a major effort given that the window resets every time. Since the filters are forgotten (when navigating to another screen and then go back) and there is no link between where you went from and where you are going to. You always must remember a lot of information, to be able to perform the next step.This limitation has a major business impact and to avoid this, we want to explore the possibility of following:The specific Shop Order in a popup. Illustration below.Access to the Shop Order in Shop Floor Workbench is used when:• We change the need date for planning purposes• Make changes to the BOM (Bill of Material) to keep traceability in IFS while adapting to real world production conditions• Change alternates• Make changes to the number of units needed on the S

Hello, IFS community!I was wondering if anyone knows a way to consolidate shop order pick lists? When I go and print shop orders for the warehouse, we have to manually write out a list of needed items to be picked from inventory. We find that it slows us down a bit, so wondering if there’s a shortcut in IFS where it automatically does that for us? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a case with a user who cannot retrieve any reports.Neither Report Archive under Infor Services or Report Archive Ordered by Me under Favorites. I have checked her profile and compared with a collegue who has access.I have instructed her to open run (Windows+R) and paste this code:cmd /c rd %localappdata%\Apps\2.0 /s/q.This in order to clear local app data.I have also cleared her profile locally for the Report Archive under User Profiles..Finally I have added her in the Distribution Group for her Sites.Nothing of this has worked.Can I have some advise please?Kind RegardsDaniel Långsveds

Could someone point me to where I may find work instructions with examples for IFS site, production line, work center, and routing setup to support visual shop order planning? I see some general structure documentation on these and a few demos explaining new UI for Aurena, but I'd like to understand the optimum way to set up the architecture for our manufacturing sites & lines by referencing a step by step work instruction with some hypothetical examples.

Hi Who can tell me more about the critical path? How exactly is this determined? What is the basis? Lead times?  Thanks for the help

HiI want to record a negative transaction for an operation on a production order. How can I do this? Best regards

 Hi, im tyring to create a query for a quick report to easily export a list of characteristic values for variable part number, i cannot see how this report connects the object key from this view with the object key from the  technical_specification_both  table where the values are stored. i looked at this once before a long time ago and i recall i used an API  could anyone help ?  

Community,below part is serial or non-serial tracking in inventory/receipt and issue? I have only After Delivery Serial Tracking check box checked.  

Hi, I need some advice.COPYING COST SET 2 TO COST SET 1. Without Capture Cost Sources set to “on” the material cost from the product structure (Bill of material) do not get connected via the connected object setting in the project. Any insight please.  See word document attached. Regards,  Sean.  

Has anyone had any success with calculating the Cumulative Lead Time field?    I’ve not been able to get it to work.  I was advised by my previous employer a case had been filed, but there was never any resolution provided.  This was a number of years ( and releases ) ago… This morning, I updated the purchase part lead times for some parts in a structure, and ran the Calculate Cumulative Lead Time job, but the cum lead time field in the manufactured part doesn’t update.                  

When we scrap material on a shop order operation, the  “Scrapping in Operation” transaction is only pulling through the labour component of the scrapped part.  From what i have seen all the cost buckets that make the unit cost of the part including the material should be included. We have rolled up the part cost and everything appears as it should be elsewhere.  How do we configure the system so it pulls the material components into the scrapping in Operation transaction? Any advise would be appreciated.

We are looking to upgrade from IFS 10 to Cloud.Is it possible to use MRP to plan Customer Owned material in Cloud?If not, how are people planning Customer Owned raw material?
