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)

@ShamilkaI need as much information as possible on MPS.  We’re putting it in at a customer on 23R1.Thanks,Jerry

Community, do you know why I cannot see the ‘New’ option in below screenshot lower table? i think I completed all settings, plus GTIN 13. where I missed?  

Using Manufacturing Control plans and Shop Floor Workbench - I am attempting to use the time interval sample frequency trigger My understanding of how time intervals sample frequency trigger would work:When I start charging to my SO op (op status: Released> In Process) an analysis generates, and then once my time interval has passed another analysis would generate, and would continue to do so until the operation is fully reported/closed/time interval trigger is turned off. Not only does my Analysis not generate at the end of my time interval window, but it also did not generate an Analysis once the op was started; The Time trigger is turned on though (the op RMB> SO Analysis > Stop time trigger becomes clickable once i start charging time to the op)Other times 2 Analyses were created within 20 seconds of each other right when the operation is started (Time interval was 10 years in that situation).I don't think im doing anythi

Currently, we have our Control Plans for Manufacturing setup for 1hr interval time triggers. I’m finding that this may cause more harm than good. I’ve been experimenting over the last few days, and it seems that time triggers will continue to run, even if there is no associate clocked into the Shop Order. An instance of this would be an associate completing the Setup step. The Op status will change to Partially Reported, and the time trigger will continue to run and generate Analysis every hour. It appears the only way to stop this behavior is to select Interrupted. If an associate has selected Start Production, and then stopped production with the status Partially Reported, the time trigger appears to stop. If my understanding is correct, this is simply how time triggers behave. I believe this may cause issues with generation of Analysis when associates would not be expecting to see them. Given that a Shop Order cannot be completed/closed without all Planned Analysis Cancel

Hi,Kindly how can I get a shop order detail report including cost by pat# (FG) or by manufactured lot# as I don’t find such report in IFS. some finished goods have semi-finished goods components.Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi All,I am trying to get DDMRP working for a client in Apps10, but I seem to be missing something as I don’t see any data on ‘Demand Driven Execution for Parts’ window. Steps followed include;1.Run Cumulative Lead Time calculation for the site.2.Set the buffered parts.3.Run Perform Lead Time Category Classification.4.Run Calculate Historical Average Daily Usage.5.Calculate buffer zones.6.Manual adjustment to ‘ADU’ quantity (to make changes to calculations).7.Recalculate buffer zones.8.Run MRP for site.9.Can see records in ‘Demand Driven Planning for Parts’ window.But can’t see any records in ‘Demand Driven Execution for Parts’ window. So, what am I missing here? Any thoughts?

Hi,we are looking to make FIFO on components and raw material level while keeping standard costing for finished goods. Since FIFO variances posts under M120 and M121 posting type, by using SOMTRLV+/- transaction code, this affect is being mixed with other material variances.We still want to capture material variances not related to FIFO. Any advice how this could be done? it seems like im missing additional transaction code for this. 

Hi Community I’m part of a new small data analyst team created within our company and we have been tasked with documenting all LOV’s in IFS 10 and the screens/fields they are used in.We are focusing on All Part types (Inventory, Sales, Maintenance etc), Customers and Suppliers to begin with, rather than going through each screen, tab and fields manually and writing them all down is there a way of extracting this info directly from IFS?I have it in my head there must be some links/tables in the background of IFS that show how everything is connected, I may be wrong, but anything has to be better than doing it all manually.Any help would be appreciated    

Hi there! We want do use the average capacity of a work center to calculate the lead time of our routings. I know you can calculate the average capacity for a single work center, but we have a large number of work centers on witch we have to calculate the average capacity on a regular basis.Is there a background job, that can be scheduled to calculate the average capacity of all work centers of a site. Thanks,Chris

Hi Community, I’d like to get to know your opinion about forecasting process when using Configured Parts. Do we have any tool or workaround in IFS 9? Master Scheduling works for Part level, doesn’t support configuration. Configuration whereas determines multilevel BOM and lets you know purchase components. The goal here is to establish rough procurement plan and secure crucial long lead-time materials when there are no Customer Orders yet.  Any ideas / tips&tricks would be appreciated. Regards, Lukasz

Hi community,When I try to change the Shop Order Lot Size in the Cloud version, I’m getting the below error.This error only pops up for shop orders with the Receipt Structure only, and IFS allows me to change lot size to the value shown in lot size LOV only, which is retrieved from the Recipe Structure field of ‘Batch Size by Volume’. But when I executed the same scenario in Apps10, it allowed me to change the lot size.What is the reason for this difference between both the Cloud and Apps10? Thank you!
