In Cloud there is this new Co-Product functionality allowing you to receive different PART_NO from a shop order.Let say we have a Shop Order for a Left PART_NO and we have setup the Right PART_NO as a Co-Product.When generating the handling units (HU), only HU of the parent part are generated.Could  the HU for the Left PART_NO (parent part) and Right PART_NO (Co-Product) be generated at the same time?We are printing the Shop Order HU labels in advance and we need both of them to be printed at the same time.Thanks,David

Hi All, I have this scenario what I cannot figure how to set-up and support, either in core or with a CRIM.. The customer has products, planned according MTO and use DOP in IFS for 6 levels. The Top Product has a leadtime of 5 days and multiple operations.The componets are connected to operations, planned demand spread over the 5 days routing. All sub-assemblies and purchase parts are backward planned according to start date of each DOP Order Operation/Shop Order Operation. Now to the issue.I want all sub-assemblies to be planned the week before start date of the Top Shop Orders. Equal “gap” between 1st level sub-assemblies to 2nd level sub-assemblies and so on. I have multiple operations but one work center per level which means that I cannot use Queue time as the add queue time for all operations. I cannot use off-set time as the compnents are and must be connected to operations.I

In Shop Order Cost, Actual Cost tab, we have “Total Accumulated Cost.”In Shop Orders Costs, there are “WIP at Aggregation Date”, and “Actual Accumulated Costs Total” fields.All of these fields have different values on some shop orders.What are the differences between each?Which field is best to use to determine the current actual accumulated cost of a shop order?Thanks,Eric

We have an internal process that dictates that customer orders received after a certain time cannot be processed and shipped until the next day. Is there a way to configure this is IFS? In specific, we want to see that the planned ship date lands on the following workday. So for example, any customer orders that land on Friday after the cutoff time will not be processed or shipped until Monday.

Hi community, I’m looking for a way to synchroize a subcontract from Company A, sent to a sister Company B with the sales contact B; something working like MHS between purchase order and customer order. When company B submit the AFP, it should generate automatically the Received Application in subcontract of company A.When Company A make the certification it should be automatticaly received on Company B.Etc... Any kind of information will be appraciate. Thank in advance. BR, Jean-Christophe 

Good Morning everyone, we use IFS Cloud and thinking about, to optimize our processes with the Transport Task handling.Is it possible to set on a Location an automatically Transport task for goods, which has to be deliver back on stock?Idea is, if we deliver Raw Material for the production and they have finished the order, the balance has to be go back in stock. We have separate Location Names for this goods. Plan is to create a TT from Location 1 to Stock automatically, based on the Handling Units. Hope someone can help me!BRThorsten

We get a lot orders where customers do not indicated exactly when they want the product delivered because only really indicate they want the product shipped using the cheapest shipment code (i.e. Ground), so they just simply submit the order and the order is entered into IFS. These orders are either entered manually or done electronically. The issue is that we cannot have customer service reps go through every single order to determine what the Wanted Delivery should be for these orders, so IFS calculates the Wanted Delivery Date the same date as the Created Date. We don’t will call or do same day delivery, so the Wanted Delivery Date should never be the same as the Created Date.We have created pick and external transport leadtimes for all customer ship-to’s in the Customer Supply Chain Matrix. However, these only work if the Wanted Delivery is not the same same date as the Created Date. Some customers do indicate future Wanted Delivery Dates in which case the leadtimes in th

Hi,Lets assume we are using MSO in automatic.We have shop orders outside of the planning horizon in the future.The planning is rolling and reaches the next day.The corresponding shop order are now within the planning horizon.Will the automatic MSO run consider them and plan them as soon we reach the next day?what happens in automatic mode?Kind regards 

Planning Method E+F uses Order Overhead in the MRP calculation. Can someone explain in detail how the Order Overhead is calculated? Is it related to Cost Buckets/Elements. It seems that the Ordering Costs in Inventory Part are also will be considered for manufactured Parts. 

Is it possible to define the start number of a serial no and have the number system in a specified format?  i.e.  SN123456-01 without  Setup:IFS Cloud 25R2IFS Managed Service

One of our IFS Cloud 25R1 customers has a somewhat unusual requirement. They would like to use the Shop Floor Workbench (or any other suitable functionality) solely to track the progress of Shop Order Operations — for example: Whether an operation has started If it has been interrupted Actual production start and end times Whether the operation is currently ongoing Similar status-related information typically tracked via the workbench However, they do not want to report quantities or scrap through the Shop Floor Workbench.In addition, they do not want the machine and labor times recorded through Shop Floor Clocking to be transferred to the actual cost of the Shop Order (they are using the weighted average valuation method). Instead, they prefer to report operation quantities and times directly through the Shop Order and want only those manu

Hello,I am creating a few new parts that I get from another site, for some reason, the new parts that I am creating are not getting a Purchasing Req when I run MRP. I get an error saying that it needs a DO coordinator. I can get the DO if I add the coordination, but I want it to be PO/CO instead. Not sure what I am missing here. Thank you!

We are migrating one of our sites from Bravad to IFS and the following query has come up from the team working in Sales. We are migrating to IFS10 UPD26.  When a customer asks us to come back to them with a price of a new product structure, we can in our current system easily copy a similar structure, do any necessary changes to it and get a quick overview of below details. We can copy an equivalent hose (i.e., we find a component or hose type that is part of a structure we can quickly copy).In the structure registration, we get a quick overview of:• TG1• TG2• Setup cost• Physical balance (no consideration of reserved balance)• Latest date for cost priceWe are now moving to IFS and need a way to get all this information out quickly. This is something that we are doing up to 10 times a day and would prefer not to create new parts and build new structures everytime we need to do this. Is this something that

Kit Article (25R2):i got a question regarding KIT articles:It doesnt matter which part type the kit article is right?Can be either manufactured or purchased → it will not create any shop order proposals or Purchase Requisition.there are just mrp action proposals which will indicate that there is not enough on stock for exampleKind regards 

When a product structure (With components) header has notes and the components are Buildable, the notes are added to the shop order header as soon as the part is added and the shop order header is saved. Product Structure Header Shop Order Notes This is happening only when components are added to the product structure and it is Buildable. What is the reason for this behaviour? I have seen an explanation for an older version of IFS which states that“Notes on the Product Structure Header are added hoping it contains common information related to the Specific Revision of the product and displayed in the Tracking and History Tab hoping these not

We are currently experiencing an issue in our shop order processing where an Operation Deviation Qty appears, even though:No over‑reporting took place No bypass quantity was reported No additional scrap was recorded at the affected operation All previous operations provided consistent and correct quantitiesThe deviation was created solely because the Operation Qty of a downstream operation was probably automatically reduced by the system, without any corresponding user action, feedback transaction, or log entry explaining this adjustment.As soon as the operator reported the correct Completed Qty, the system created a deviation. The downstream operation inherited the same reduced Operation Qty and continued to show the same deviation, even though the actual physical quantity was correct.Here are some process details:

We are currently researching the application of IFS Manufacturing Scheduling Optimization (MSO) within the CAMRO and CRO workspaces, as we operate as a CAMRO and CRO service provider using IFS.We would appreciate insights from: CAMRO organizations that have already implemented IFS MSO in a CAMRO or CRO environment IFS Consultants who have experience implementing the MSO solution within the MRO/CRO domain Specifically, we would like to understand: The key challenges faced during implementation The level of customization required to align MSO with CAMRO/CRO operational processes Any lessons learned or best practices that could help ensure a smoother implementation Your feedback and shared experiences would be highly valuable as we evaluate the feasibility and approach for introducing MSO into our CAMRO/CRO operations.Thank you in advance for your support.

Hello,We are currently starting to work with disassembly workflows, as an addition to our standard assembly process. The aim is to receive a good that is to be retrofitted in our factory, and to track the whole process in the system.We have been able to create disassembly structures and use them in shop orders, but we now would like to have it work as what we normally do on our assembly processes.For example, we typically link each assembly to a project activity (Project/Sub Project), and in the contexte of this current project, linking both disassembly/assembly would be a way to track the overall cost of the disassembly/assembly process on the subproject.It seems like this feature is not possible for this kind of shop order (Link), is it possible to confirm it ? Many

Hello everyone,I would like to inquire about the limitations of Excel reports. What are the possible causes that prevent an Excel report from being successfully previewed in the Order Report when displaying a large volume of data?Currently, I am encountering an issue when attempting to preview data sets containing more than 1,000 rows and over 30 columns.An error message is displayed when I try to preview the report. 

Hi,How to connect the cost in sales quotation lines from product structure and BOM estimate?Thanks.

I was wondering how to maximize capacity for resources on the Advanced Planning Board (APB) I’m seeing a situation where a finite resource has availability, but it isn’t being optimize when backward scheduling. For example. I have the tool and the labor class as finite and the work center as infinite. But what I’m seeing is the OP10 and OP20 are being scheduled correctly., but then when OP30 delays for 2 days later. But you can see that the tool and labor class still have availability.  Why isn’t trying to fill that void when there is availability? APB Load settings Also to note, I tried this with the Re-assign Resources and it gave similar results.

I have a Shop Order that requires an outside process to be done at a different site. I issued the Outside process PO, but nothing is popping out at my other site. Any ideas on what I could be missing?

I’m  trying to find out where the cost bucket sequence is identified in Apps10.  Thanks  Dave 

Hi all,I am looking for the Reserve and Backflush Availability raised from Shop Order Materials in 25R1. The exact versions are written inside pics.Following pics below are illustrating 24R2 (OK) compared to 25R1 (NOK).Bot shop orders Released. Both components Consumed. Logged under IFSAPP.Is it caused by any incorrect settings in 25R1?Thanks in advance,Zdeněk B. 24R2​​​​25R1
