Operation Statistics vs Labor and Operation History

Hello, A brief question regarding the 2 views mentioned “Operation Statistics” and “Labor and Operation History”. We are aiming to get the correct data from our shop floor regarding what has actually been produced during a given time period. What we experience is that “Operation Statistics” does not provide the same information as “Labor and Operation History”. Wheras the latter also requires us to manully filter out duplicates, cancelled operations etc. Operation Statistics seems to be the way to go, but I am uncertain that we use it correctly. Whereas if I want to check on yesterday’s shop floor results. I miss out on partially reported shop orders due to there is not actual finish dates. Does anyone have any tips on how to procede?My first though is that we need to “start production” and use clockings more thorughly in production. Which gives us the possiblity to filter on “actual start date” instead. We currenlty using IFS10, but in September we are implementing IFS - CloudBest Reg

Manufacturing visualizer package - benefits

We are upgrading from IFS7.5 to IFSv10 update 10 and evaluating whether the manufacturing visualizer add-on package is worth it. We manage shop order operations to even load an infinite schedule using CRP load charts in our current state. Most of our shop orders are configured, so it drives high volumes of shop order operations to manage. What benefits (tangible and/or intangible) has your company realized and would you recommend investing in the add-on visualizer? (For example, efficiency, inventory management, yield, tool optimization, etc.)If you didn’t add on the visualizer, what tools are you using to manage higher volumes of shop order operations to optimize your schedule?

Manufacting control plans for parts with batch control (triggers)

Hi,We would like to start using manufacturing control plans in our PROD env. The requirement is to have the analysis created every 2 hours for currently produced batch number (as all of our parts are under batch control). The issue is that if we use trigger to run every 2 hours system generates analysis for ALL batch numbers in the same time (not only for the currently produced one) no matter if the batches had been already completed to stock or not. Any suggestion how could we solve it?In help we can read: “Manual - This is not triggered by any existing value in the system, instead it can be used to create custom defined triggering points and connect them to this trigger type”. Do You think that manual should be used in our case? If so – any suggestions how to do it?Best regards,Bernadeta

Splitting serial lots

I am in the process of translating a manufacturing process into IFS and am wondering if there’s a best approach to simplifying the solution. We have a manufacturing process where the manufactured part is both serialised and lot tracked, it starts processing in a lot size of 600, then drops to 200, 20 and eventually individual parts as it moves along the routing. As the part is serialised you have to select each serial individually when performing a shop order split, and as it’s a manually selected slider per-serial it could end up being time consuming. Does anyone have any alternate solutions to speeding up the lot splitting process? We are working Cloud 23R1.

IFS10 IEE Shop Floor Workbench

We are transitioning to IFS10 IEE and currently we have users who can select from Material Actions either Manual Issue or Manual Unissue from the shop order in SFWB, Are there a presentation and/or database objects that allows for the Issue/Unissue options that we need to grant? Has this option been changed in IFS10 to the Material tab and the part number selected?Thank you.

The system is erroneously using Standard Cost instead of Cost from Labor Class

One of the customers am working with have observed the following. Would request your assistance to help solve this issue. [b]Note the customer is running application 9.[/b] The system is retrieving costs erroneously from Standard Costing for Employee Category when it should be using costs from the labor class. [b][i]Flow to re-create the issue:[/i][/b] 1. Have labor class set up for both run time and overhead costs. 2. Have employee set up for Employee Category General. 3. Have Standard Costs set for Employee Category General different than labor class so you can be sure what the system is doing. 4. Make sure that Company Details for Company i.e X are not checked to use Employee Costs. (This would be the signal to use Standard Cost) 5. Make sure that Site is not Checked for Override Employee Costs This determines which labor class costs the system should use. 6. Then report time for employee 1063 who is in employee category General. 7. Check the

Netting on arrival locations

Hi, In the DOP releasing process, where we net everything, IFS will take parts on a arrival location into account and will not create additional PR’s for these parts.However, the parts on the arrival location are not netted or reversed, which means that if they move into stock they could be used for every other order as well. Is there any way to go around this issue? Thanks!

Finalize Shipment menu option in IFS10

We are transitioning from IFS9 to IFS10 and are wondering what the equivalent process steps are to Finalize Shipment. We do not see the menu option when we RMB in the shipment header or the line.Searching presentation objects by component and database objects no “finalize” elements are returned, but are available in IFS9 when doing similar search.Is it now a separate process, different term? Thank You

Consuming portions of a part

Hello all, I’d like advice on how to manage this situation in IFS Cloud.We buy SS sheets of 20 ft2, however we use 16 ft2 of the sheet. The issue we currently have is the sheet is purchased in ft2 UoM and the BOM is listing 16 ft2 for production. Hence the production consumes 16 ft2.That said, the remaining 4 ft2 of the 20 ft2 sheet is not necessarily scrap (it can be used for smaller parts or on other BOM).The problem is, when consuming many 16 ft out of 20 ft, the remaining 4 ft2 are cummulating, showing in IFS the total inventory in ft2. So manufacturing could believe we have 16 ft2 to manufacture, when in reality we have 4x 4 ft2, not usable for this BOM (but usable for other BOMs).How can/should this be managed in IFS? I feel our way is not correct, but I’m unsure of the correct way.Thank you!

Translation of time clock button

Hi, I would like to change the button text on the time clock (time clock in production). However, the default time clock that we are using is in English, but the buttons get translated to the local language. Where can I find these translations and change them? So If i change the text in ‘Time Clock Type Details’, it doesn’t do a thing as it gets translated anyway.It could be an option to block the translation, as we use 1 language anyway.

Cost Set 1 deleted from a Work Center

Hi.Why IFS delete the cost set 1 from the Work Center if you are copying an inventory part cost from, for example, from cost set 2 to 1 and one the work centers do not have the cost set 2? I tested this case in IFS 9, IFS 10 and Cloud. I think this is a BUG because the Cost Set 1 is the unique mandatory cost set. I tested this case in IFS 9, IFS 10 and Cloud.

Aurena Agent is installed but does not work

Our company recently migrated IFS from IFS8 to IFS Cloud (?). To keep the same functionality when working with documents as in IFS8, we have to install the Aurena Agent. I installed both parts of the Aurena, the Extension in Chrome and the part that has to be installed on the PC. Installation was successful, and i can see the IFS Logo at the Chrome extension and in the Task bar of the PC. The extension is active and it has access to the relevant server where IFS is running. So far everything seems ok! But when i look in the User settings of IFS it looks like that:Everything greyed out, nothing accessible, and it says that the Aurena Agent is not properly installed!Does anyone have an idea?

Expense Reference in Expense Sheet copies only to Internal Comment field in Project Transactions

Customer Query: In the previous version of IFS (IFS APP 9), the expense reference from from the expense sheet was pulled though onto the Invoice Comments in project transactions, however since IFS10 it has been pulling through onto the Internal Comments section which means this needs to be copied and pasted to Invoice Comments screen if it is required on the invoice. Ideally we would like all Expense References to be pulled through onto Invoice Comments so they are visible on invoices.Please can you tell me if this is possible in IFS10?
