I’m interested in learning how other members of the community are managing MRBs (Material Review Boards) for subassemblies. Currently, we are encountering a hard stop error whenever we attempt to consume a subassembly part that is associated with an open MRB into the parent shop order. The error message reads: "Component part serial 'part number/' exists in an open MRB case; receipt cannot be processed."While we are able to issue the component to the shop order, we are unable to complete the shop order receipt due to this issue.For context, the MRB pertains to a limited subset of impacted parts, not all parts of that part number. Additionally, these parts are both serial and lot-tracked, but it seems the MRB screen does not support the use of unique identifiers. We’re currently on Apps 10.Any insights or best practices on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.

We have shop orders in process that will be completed but cannot ship until quality approves shipping. Inventory is lot tracked. We cannot put availability control on the lot because the shop order is still in process. What is the best practice to prevent a shop order from shipping when it is completed? Can availability control be setup ahead of time so that when the shop order is received into inventory, there is a control on it?  Regards,Eric 

Hi All,In our work with shop orders we are not assigning employees or teams to the shop order operations but we would still like to see who is completing the operation. I do not see a record of the modify user or am I able to find a way to track this using the history log. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi, In our current process, we reserve materials in the warehouse (picking locations). The warehouse worker moves those reserved goods to the production floor with a transport task (which is inside a warehouse task). The operator issues the materials and starts the shop order clocking. We want to make sure that the operator can only issue after the warehouse worker has finished the warehouse task. So he should only be able to issue from the inbound or specified locations (not from the picking locations).Is this possible?

We are using Aurena in IFS APPS 10We would like to allow users to connect a change request to Functional Objects that represent our equipment.  We have been able to add the EquipmentFunctional selection in the Object Connection.However, our users don’t seem to have the correct permission to query the EquipmentFunctional data.You can see the (no matches) and when find in clicked no data shows.When logged in with IFS APP all data shows and can be found when clicking the FIND optoin.   

Good afternoon,After updating versions from 23.2.1 to 23.2.9 I am not unable to edit Delivery Address on the Customer Orders (but on the Customer Order I can do it). Our colleagues used to change Delivery Addresses on the list view instead of single Customer Order page. Is it possible to change the behaviour of this Delivery Address field to being editable? I have tried it with page designer and I can edit the value, but the Save button does not appears and I can not save the change of the address, after refreshing page it’s not being saved. The screen from Customer Orders after change the Delivery Address the Save button does not appear Should I change something more to Save the changes of this field?

We are looking to simplify the login process for our manufacturing shop floor computers.   Our plan is to have the clients launch from this link to bypass the IFS Landing page https://ifsserver:49080/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application   My question is, can you pass login credentials to the IFS IEE client so it auto logs on?  The only use for these workstations, will be Shop Floor Workbench.

In Aurena (Upd 13) on the Change Request Form we are using the Object Connection to point to Equipment Functional Objects.Out of the box things are working good.We would like to be able to search via a Custom Field.  Which we can get to show but we get an error when searching. Loc is the custom field.When we search with the Loc Column we get the following error:An internal server error occurred.

Hi, Hoping to gather how others have handled undo’s/corrections when the “Issue Inventory Part” screen is used (eg. “use count-in”)as there doesn't appear to be an undo transaction? Currently we are in APP9 Thanks!

Hello,IFSAPP10I am trying to copy work center on the right mouse button:  but i got this error message:I just checked the tab “Cost” and the column “End date” is filled everywhere. any hints?thanks

Can someone please explain how MS Level 0  and "Sales and Operational Planning" interact with each other . I found an option to export the forecast to MS Level 0 . What is the purpose of this ?. This is to disaggregate the forecast to connected MS level 1 Parts  and to plan the actual Manufacturing/Purchasing? If this is the case what is the point of importing the  Demand Planner Forecast ? Or to simply Calculate the RRP load ? How the operational plan affects the actual Manufacturing/Purchasing? 

We are currently working with IFS Cloud (23R2) and have a requirement to add an additional column to the ‘Print Pick Lists’ window by creating a new custom attribute. However, we have encountered an issue: we are unable to locate the entity ‘PrintPickList’ or the corresponding LU in the ‘Entity Configuration’ window. Additionally, we attempted to create a new entity named ‘PrintPickList’ in the ‘Entity Configuration’ window, but encountered an error during this process. Could you please clarify if it is possible to add custom fields to the ‘Print Pick Lists’ window? If so, could you provide guidance on how to achieve this?Alternatively, is there a possibility that this functionality has been disabled for this specific window?

Hi I was wondering if there was a standard process for dealing with First Article Inspection. I was hoping for something that would inform users when a product is finalized and the shipment is coming in. Thanks. 

Hi, When 2 separate employees are trying to report to a same shop order operation from Shop Floor Workbench at the same time, one employee is getting the below error.There can be situations where more than one employee will be working on the same shop order operation at the same time. Therefore, it seems that this error is not quite that much valid.Is there any way we can avoid this error, and allow more than one employees to report the same shop order operation at the same time ? Thanks,Thushitha

When creating a Purchase Order, I have a part with the correct description but when selecting it on the order line, an old description populates. Is there something I’m missing that need to checked and updated? The LOV from the PO line has the correct description (pic1) but when selecting that same part, it shows an old description (pic2)  

Hi all,do we have any chance to create a demand and issue configured parts (DOP) from project?Any workaround or tricks that can be shared as we receive this error message: Thank youKRF

I think in discrete manufacturing industries, there exists a very similar requirement as described in https://community.ifs.com/ideas/shop-order-material-transport-tasks-53431 . We are an industrial equipment manufacturer with several hundred employees in the shop.The shop is very diversified, with welding, machining, inhouse assembly of mechanical, hyddraulics systems or electrical control cabinets.The different types of shops are in different buildingsAll shops are structured with several workcenters. Every workcenter is a collection of several physical workstations.The warehouses are also distributed in a range of several km.Same parts can be stored in multiple different warehouse segments, sometimes close by the requesting shop, in the main warehouse or even in the outdoor storage.Due to this structure of shops and warehouses, we have implemented a CRIM to support the process as described in this idea.Process:in general: request - pick - pack - transport (+issue) - receive(+issue)

Hi All,Does anyone know if there is a way to apply authorisations for standard Inventory scrap process?We’re using Apps 10 Aurena.Thanks

Hi, We would like to ‘pre-pick’ materials: for certain shop orders, all materials needed should be moved from Location A to location B. The actual picking happens after that: We pick from location B and the material goes to WIP (=issued) How can this be done? Can we easily create for example transport tasks to move all materials for a shop order/shop orders from location A to location B? Thanks!

Can we do the search in context in prod9 also in the cloud? Is it possible? 

Hello everyone,I've reviewed the available topics and I'm unable to find a clear answer to a question I have. We have a list of 24 items that we need to use as Non-BOM items. I would like to know if there is a way to prevent those parts from being moved to Shop Floor Inventory locations. I only want those 24 items to be restricted from those locations.It would be great if there was a way to set limitations in the inventory part/product structure or at the inventory location level. However, I would be satisfied if I could have some form of AVID set on those parts to limit their movements to shop floor locations. Thank you very much for your help.
