Hi all,We are using Apps10 update 23 and have been asked by compliance to store ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) for some products. I cannot find a field for this use so wanted to check if anyone who uses Apps10 knows where this would be?ThanksUmar

Hi, I came across some questions in the Visual Shop Orders Planning screen in IFS Cloud. Appreciate your inputs to resolve those. Version  QuestionWhy the time line is showing only a few days in the week ? Can’t scroll back and forth to see other available days.?There are only 3 operations under this WC Resource. Why this 4th line is showing when there are no operations in that. Settings of the window/Gantt   Is it normal that the users have to refresh the screen after doing some changes in the Gantt, to properly reflect them ? (e.g., after a drag and drop the same operation is still showing at the previous time slot, only after a refresh it is removed from there) Is it possible to see Operations from “Interim Orders” (Interim Order Headers) in this planning screen ?  Any possibility to trigger MRP or Selective MRP from this planning screen?

can you think of why on a multilevel repair shop order, after issuing the top level make part (serialized) the multilevel repair structure tab stays greyed out? I am currently experiencing this, this serial has been through a multi-level repair shop order once already to salvage some parts and now more parts need to be salvaged but its not working 

We are beginning an implementation ( Cloud 24R1 ) on our manufacturing facilities and struggling to identify the best ways to:track where in the facility a manufacturing tool/instance is located send a signal that a tool is needed and should be brought to a work center along with other shop order operation materialsThese are not small items that can be stored at a work center. It’s typical to have one fixture that occupies a pallet, and for multiple instances of that fixture to be required on a single operation.We are experimenting with connecting a tool to an object which ties to an inventory part. That allows us to store and move it. But how to get it delivered? If we add it to the product structure, we would set it as not consumed - this makes the material line non-reservable and it will not show up for pick lists.How are others handling this type of issue?

Greetings!I am trying to change the following to Discrete Option but it gives me the following error in IFS apps 10 

What’s an advantage when I use Sequence?…, it's anything better in IFS Cloud?…, can be it automatically? We have to …Create characteristic in Part Master DataPart Characteristic TemplateSecond, we have to set a Characteristic for Work CenterCharacteristics for Work CenterIn the end, We can set the Sequence for operationsThe command for Sequence may be set in the Visual Shop order Planning and its menu.Sequence during the Visual Shop Order Planning 

Dear community,When you create a disassembly shop order, we can see the supply quantity based on the scrap factor when when you try to receive it, the system populates the Remaining quantity to receive. Shop Order does not even close the shop order if you only receive the the supply quantity (highlighted below) and and it wait to auto close until remaining quantity is received. Is this scrap factory only used for a planning purpose? Is there a way to get the supply qty as the default qty to be received and auto close the shop order once received that quantity?  

Is Advanced Planning Board still available in 23R1? Thanks,

Hi there, we are running our ERP on IFS Cloud and need to understand where is the right place/screen to attach/save picture of parts. Any input is very welcome. Thank you.

Greetings!I have every line filled out in my Interim Demand Header, but is still shows incomplete. I made sure the Part Config is in released status. Everything looks good, how do I fix it? 

Hello community,In the cost set 5, i am calculating the cost for a purchased material and copying the cost to cost set 1. Everything looks perfect here. When i do a receipt of the same part, the cost detail is not split by the cost buckets properly. it is only picking the first line from P-140 cost template. For testing purposes, i deleted the cost bucket 140 from P-140 cost template. Then the cost was created with next cost bucket in the template which is 160. Anyone knows how to split the cost properly for inventory transaction receipt?Thanks Furkan

We have Held for operation (component part) that we add when we hold a shop order for XYZ reasons, I want to identify when I am adding a component part of held for, where can I see the date when part was added, trying to see the dormancy of held for.

We have about 20 timeclocks and they all appear to have the same time which is about 3 minutes behind the correct time.  The servers all show the correct time and the desktops running them all have the correct time so is there somewhere in IFS to adjust the timeclock time?

Hello team, I looking to see if there is a way we can configure IFS only issue/backflush material that is in the Work Center’s Inbound location for a shop order? I’ve tried updating the the Work Center Outside Reserve/Backflush to Not Allowed (this option will not allow shop order reservations until they are moved to Inbound location) and Reserve Only (this option will allow me to reserve from where I would like but does not stop me from issuing material that is not in the inbound locations). Thanks in advance! 

Dear community, What is the best way to handle following scenario?You have a manufacturing part A with components B and C as purchase parts. Part A manufactured from a Shop Order and but it was faulty. Rather than scrapping it, we need to take out Part B out and Remanufacture Part A using that disassembled Part B and issuing Part C again from stock.I created Manufacturing structure for Part A,Created a Disassembly Structure for Part A and part B as the produced partThen Created Remanufacturing Structure for Part A However, when I try to set a Direct supply for the Remanufacturing to have a connected disassembly shop order to extract part B, you have to enter Part A and supply type Disassembly in the Remanufacturing Structure/Direct Supply tab but the system does prevents it saying “The direct supply part cannot be the same as the structure header part”.This works perfectly fine if Part B produced from different disassembly part but it seems functionality does not cover the above scenar

Hi,Is there any page or report in IFS that shows full traceability for lot/batch-tracked parts?Our top-level part is serial tracked, and all components/subassemblies are lot/batch tracked, including raw materials. Lot/batch tracking is order-based.The main goal is to have something that shows the full path from finished goods (serial tracked) to the raw materials used (lot/batch tracked). Many thanks

Hi, is it possible to change the supply of a DOP order from manufactured to purchased? A part in in my structure is manufactured. However, due to capacity constraints,, I want to purchase it. What’s the easiest way to do this update in the DOP?

We can define for both Work Centers and Labor Classes whether they are going to use Finite or Infinite Capacity. Is it recommended as best practice that these 2 settings be aligned?If for whatever reason we need to have one value set to Finite Capacity and the other set to Infinite Capacity, which of the two will have precedence.What would the impact of this scenario be if we were to use Capacity Requirements Planning 

We have a availability control on parts in one warehouse.  The availability control is set to Nettable, not auto reservation, not manual reservation, not order issue, scrapable, allow reducing (on Part Counting Control), all allowed for part movement control and non-order issue.  For some reason we can’t create a cycle count report for this warehouse location.  It looks like it is due to the availability controls on the part but I need to verify that is the case.  Can anyone confirm my suspicion or help me figure out why these will not pull on a cycle count report.  We used not counted in zero days to generate the report.  We are in IFS Apps 10 UPD21.

Dear Community,We are currently figuring out the best way to use the possibility of parking a shop order.Does someone know how to connect a change order to a parked shop order ? When clicking on the drop-down menu of change order no, there is no data whereas we have change orders in the table.  Thanks for your help 😊 

A quick functional question related to DOP which I encountered with one of the customers. Questions: In APP9 DOP orders have the non-consumed items with the quantities. More specifically, unlike in APP8, when we bring in DOP structures in APP9, the structures come in with quantity for all non-consumed components. Like your advice and view point on this regards.
