Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

In IEE Apps10 - having profile issues.   1st issue - trying to add a Custom Field to base profile and it looks like it is going into the right spot until you hit Apply or OK and it disappears - cannot get it to stick 2nd issue - Estimate screen is overlapping (product screen overlaps where components and operations are added) - once I try to fix - adjust margins - hit OK - the margins fix however the fields below all get scrambled and unusable

We have a scenario where we sometimes need to rework a purchased component.For this purpose we use repair shop order with repair structure and routing. This works fine except that no cost for machine/labor time is captured by shop order cost. Only purchase cost related to cost template used for part (P-140 in my example) are captured.As a test I created a manufactured structure/routing for same part number. Then created and reported shop order.  This works fine, system captures labor and machine cost despite same cost template (P-140) is used!I tried different settings to get this to work also for repair shop order. The only way I managed to capture cost is by adding cost bucket (e.g. 300) used for manufacturing to template P-140. This is not a good solution and causes a risk for wrong cost in cost calculation.Any ideas if/how this can be solved?

What are the proper workflow to delete or set to Obsolete existing Purchase Structure, which was created for unknow reason or by mistake for Inventory Part with setting Part Type = Manufactured?Now there are two identical structures: Manufacturing and Purchase and both are active and Buildable.

Hello,We use the comprehensive split function to split large shop orders into smaller batches. As an example, we mix ingredients in 1000 lb. batches as that is the max capacity of the mixing machine, however, the full shop order is for 10,000 lbs. so we split the larger shop order into 10 x 1,000 lb. shop orders. When we do that, though, setup time is planned for on each split shop order when in reality we only set up once and then all subsequent shop orders that were split into do not need set up. The result is large cost variances.I understand the reason why this would happen, but is there a way to remove this setup time from 9 of the 10 shop orders in the example above? Does anyone else have a similar situation where they were able to solve for this issue?

In our business we experience yield loss on shop orders. For example, we mix ingredients together and for a 1000 lb. shop order, we know we will experience x lbs. of yield loss and the shop order will yield, for example, 960 lbs. instead of the 1000 lbs. lot size. I have been researching yield loss and am struggling to find an answer to answer my questions.We want to use scrap factor to increase the requirements for ingredients. For example, if we know we are going to experience 4% yield loss on a shop order, we want the required ingredients to be inflated by 4%. I have seen scrap factor in multiple places within IFS, but am not sure how to do what we are after, without adding, in this example, 4% scrap factor to each ingredient in the product structure. The second part of this question is that we don’t actually scrap anything out in IFS. We just receive less than the required amount on the shop order. Does that affect the scrap factor use? When looking at product costs, it seems that

Hello everybody, Does anyone know the exact formula used to calculate the ADU based on transactions history? It seems that for the number of horizon days from the Start Date (Today - (DLT + horizon)), the system takes the sum of the quantities issue / horizon. However, for the period corresponding to Today - DLT, it adds a quantity for which I can't find the formula. In fact, does anyone have the exact formula for the ADU based on transactions history?Thanks in advance.  Laurent

Hi is there a method to transform an inventory stock part from planning method A to planning method K after we use this inventory part into already closed shop order? 

When I scrap material I have an errordo you have any idea how I can solve this “Report component scrap on material history :P1 will result in not enough material issued to satisfy the receipts and or operation scrap already made on this shop order.”

Hello IFS community, Under the Purchase Requisition Lines, there are fields labeled Order Ref1, Order Ref2, and Order Ref3. From other pages, I know that Order Ref2 corresponds to the Line No and Order Ref3 to the Release No. However, could you tell me what Order Ref1 refers to? I’m certain it isn’t the PO No, as that field already exists in the Purchase Requisition Lines.Additionally, in previous versions of IFS, you could press F1 or access the Help menu to see definitions and explanations about fields. Is there a similar feature in IFS Cloud for quick field definitions? 

Community, I see IFS Cloud introduced a new order called “Shipment Order”, from what it described, it is pretty much like APP10 Distribution Order. anybody has any experience with it, what’s the difference between these two? Thank you.

Bonjour l’équipeJe tente d’installer les deux modules IFS reporter et Analytics sur le même poste mais ça ne passe pas,Avez-vous une idée svpPeu importe l’ordre d’installation le même message apparaîtDe coup, je ne peux avoir que IFS Analytics ou reporter, mais pas les deux

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to monitor Quick Reports in order to detect which reports are effectively used? Thank you and Regards, Rui Resende.

I was testing this combination a bit and it seems the only way to change the unit cost of a part in this case is to manually use Modify Cost Level Details, by part and condition. Which means that there is no way of recalculating the costs in bulk for several parts? You can do the cost calculations and copy to cost set 1, but the standard part cost will not be used. Am I missing something?

Do you have any idea whats wrong in this record formulaI always wrote this way but this time its doesnt work  

I have a question about the functionality of the "Cf C Pa1" switch on the inventory part. There is no description of the function of this field. Thank you for your support.  

We’re working with a client where we are planning to use Product Structures for their Manufacturing business. However there are a series of Products where they can use either a combination of Parts A, B, C, or, the they can use a combination of parts C, D.We’ve proposed that these should be identified as being different parts with separate Product Structures but the client has rejected this as the completed Product is 100% identical both visually, technically and structurally, so irrespective of the item combination used to make them, from a Sales and Storage perspective the completed Products are the same.The only option we seem to have (as we can’t use Alternate Parts to manage this), is to use Recipe rather than Product Structures to manage this, but this leads to a series of questions:Is it possible to combined both Product and Recipe Structures in a Single Site in IFS (Previous questions in the community appear to indicate that it is) What, if any complications can this cause from

Not entirely sure what our expectations should be here… We have a user who has copied/pasted material rows from Shop Order A onto Shop Order B.  Parts are in stock on the relevant site; Supply type on Shop Order B showing as Invent Order. User then attempts to directly Issue material to the rows newly pasted onto Shop Order B (select row/Manual Issue).  Manual Issue Shop Order Material screen comes up blank. If the parts are entered onto Shop Order B by a new line being created, Manual Issue Shop Order Material comes up with stock available to be issued as expected. If we run the ‘Redefine Supply Code’ and change to Project Inventory  and then run the ‘Redefine Supply Code’ again and change back to Invent then the Manual Issue… screen is populated correctly.     Has anyone else experienced this at all?Thanks!

IFS V.9I’m facing an issue with a Shop Order. After opening the Shop Order and right-clicking to change its status to "Release," a popup message appears with a warning "The work center xxxxx is not assigned to the same procution line as part xxxxxxxxxxxx." . Has anyone encountered this issue before? I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you. 

Hi All,During shop order creation it cannot be saved because of this error message.(Scrap factor is mandatory).But In product structure the Scrap factor is set to zero(0). It also in Inventory part u der manufacturing TAB Scrap factor set to (0). May be this zero value (0) can not be fetched from BOM/Inventory part.what could be the possible solution? 

Hello Community,I would like to know how is it possible to change automatically the Phase In date of the revision while we create an inventory part ?I check another topic, where it is mentionned that I can do this thing by Custom Events.SO I created a custom events that is triggered well while Invdntory Part is created. But I think something is wrong with my custom action see below :I tried both of these solutions :That is the error while creating an inventory part :Maybe I’m trying to update something that is not existing for now. So maybe I should change the custom event … I’m not sure.Appreciate your help :) 

We’re working with a client in the Construction Materials sector. When carrying out Product costing on one of their main product lines, they use a concept the call “Equivalence”, under which for example, the standard product is an 8x8x12 block which has an equivalence value of 1 and a cost of $10, another version of the product is an 8x8x9 block which has an equivalence value of 0.75 and a cost of $7.50, and a third product will be an 8x8x15 block which has an equivalence value of 1.25 and a cost of $12.50.We’re trying to find a way of representing this costing method in IFS but none of the standard models in the system appear able to support it, has anyone encountered anything similar previously and does anyone have any suggestions on how this can be approached 

Dear Colleagues,I would like to ask you for information about the functionality of the field "Buildable Alternate Exists" in the overview task "Engineering Revision Transfer Status" - PDM environment.The importance of the field setting, what it affects. Thank you. 

Hello!A question about the redesign of page “Analysis Result” from APP9 (And APP10) to IFS Cloud. The question touches upon the same subject asked in this thread, but its not identical: Analysis Results Overview (IFS Apps 10 UPD 14 Aurena) | IFS Community The customer I am working with is upgrading from APP9 to IFS Cloud. In APP9 they are used to seeing the Result column, Inner/Outer Min and Inner/Outer Max in the same page as they Complete and Confirm the results. This is possible because the tab Variables is included in this page.In IFS Cloud they cannot see these columns in Analysis result since that tab has been removed and moved to a separate page : Instead they have to look here: But from Analysis Results - Variables, where they actually see the result, they cannot complete or confirm the analysis. They can only do that from the Analysis Result page and from that page they cannot get an overview of the results that they are about to complete an confirm. So the problem is that the

in “Non Conformance Report” you can connect objects, one of them being shop order operations.  for some reason the connected object description will not populate for the shop order operation. it does for the shop order though. Does anyone know why it wouldnt / how to get the description to populate?  

Issue with Part Revision: A new revision was automatically created when the most recent revision was marked as "phase out." * New part revisions are being automatically created after the most recent revisions are marked as "phased out."  * Many of the affected parts are components of the mentioned finished goods.  * The issue was especially noticeable between December 15 and 16, 2024, affecting 89 parts.  **Question:**  Is there any adjustment or configuration in the system that automatically triggers changes in the revisions of component parts when changes are made to finished goods?
