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!

Issue-When connecting a customer order line to a project activity, the List of Values (LOV) shows the project activity alongside its description. However, it displays the project activity and the project name instead Test steps-1.Create Project and Activity.                                                                  2.Create Customer Order and click 'Connect to Activity' button.                                               3.Click Project.  >Project ID and Project Description are displayed.   

What windows contain Visualization in IFS APPS 10? 

What is the difference and purpose of the columns “result” and “result value” on the “Analysis Results” page?  When I type in my measured value in the result cell and save, it populates in the Result Value cell. I ask because something I measure will be at 1.0x10^-8. I am able to type my answer into the result cell in the same format as the outer max cell (5.0E-8) and when I save it properly calculates as passing or failing, but saves in the result cell as the above (0, 0.0000). It shows as the correct decimal representation in the result value cell. I want to know why it doesn't present properly in the Result cell, and why in neither of the cells it will populate in the format 5.0E-8 please

Hello , Within IFS 10, Is there a way to merge 2  pick list  lines (same part / same location) in a shop order. In order to save time. Thanks.

We are using IFS APPS 9. Scheduled database tasks run daily for Manufacturing Lead Time (10 PM) and cumulative lead time (8 PM) calculations, as well as daily MRP calculations (1 AM). A quick report for the MRP is generated and sent out at 5:00 AM. Generally, this process is consistent day-to-day, but we have noticed disruptions during weekends.During weekends, lead times for certain parts increase, affecting our MRP reports over the weekend and on the following Monday (or the 1st working day of the week).To address this issue on Monday, we have tried manually re-running the scheduled database tasks for Manufacturing Lead Time, Cumulative Lead Time, and MRP calculations site-wide. This correction ensures accurate lead times and MRP reports.We would appreciate insights into why these disruptions occur and any suggestions for prevention. Thank you for your assistance.

I was wondering if someone could explain what inventory and financial transactions result from the receipt of by-product from a shop order? thank you

I’m not sure if this is expected behavior of the Operation No field in the By-product tab in shop order, but I’ve noticed that linking it to an operation number does not change how the OH cost and Oper cost are applied to the byproduct. Is this the correct behavior? and if so, is there a way to only apply a specific operations labor cost to a byproduct? (the material is correct because it has it’s own cost distribution tab)in this example, 175237-057-R is the byproduct produced in operation 10. 

Community, I have below Kanban Demand retrieved, Simulated, and accepted. Please see below screenshot Kanban Demand window. My question is, on date 6/18/2024, 6/25/2024, Kanban should be replenished. is this replenishment automatic by system or we have to manually scan the barcode so as to trigger the replenishment order, which is purchase order as our configuration. 

Hello everyone, I am facing a strange behaviour in Instant Invoice core layout from ifs cloud.Into the Instant_invoice_item table, at line with “TXTOT”, there is a condition on the total_amount and the currency_codeExpression tns:SHOW_ZERO = 7and into the visible condition :((tns:ROW_TYPE=8)  or (tns:ROW_TYPE=18) or (tns:ROW_TYPE=28)) and ((tns:SHOW_ZERO = 7) or (tns:SHOW_ZERO = 27))To be honest I’m not sure what it means ? However the problem is with those core conditions, my “currency_code” field is not working especially on this line.I removed the condition to see what happen, and the currency_code is now “multiplied”… But no more on the desired line.Very strange. Any advice how to keep this “currency_code” on this line without this kind of behaviour ?

Trialing manufacturing control plans with serial number tracking turned on (order based, one lot per, no multi level or inventory). I have to RMB in the Analysis header to “Enter Serial Numbers” before I am able to enter the Serial No on the separate data point lines (variables not attributes). Once I've entered one or all Serial Nos when I try to save the entered Serial Nos disappear and I am still unable to save my results because my Serial No is not populated. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Community, how to resolve below error when we are changing the Print Uom in the product structure. basically, we defined the input uom group, 1pkg=1000 EA. we want the system to be automatically translate what it is needed during the business operation. 

Using Shop Floor Workbench and Manufacturing Control Plans When creating the analysis at the point the operation is being worked (either no frequency trigger or time interval trigger), even though I am only working a partial qty (executable qty < SO lot size) my analysis sample size is based on my lot size. Is there any way to set IFS up so my analysis sample size is based on my executable qty, and then when processing the remaining units later on the same operation, another analysis would be required to be generated for the remaining units? Or are there any other solutions to this issue we are having?We don't want to split at the SO or operation level: We would then have to generate more control plan lines at the SO level every time (Op splits) and or it would increase the administrative burden on technicians once working the shorter operations on the SO (SO splits). We want to process partials and properly track their acceptance via Analysis R

Is there a module that will tell me where a certain object ID is located within a Work Center?

Community,do you have an idea, how below Destination Warehouse ID could be working with Kanban? 

Community, does any one know what below highlighted columns are standing for? Thank you. 

Hello,could someone give and advice or maybe know from the experience, what field of NCR (or some other quality management form) can be used for identifying the person, who is responsible that nonconformity occurred.The client wants to collect information about the persons who are responsible that non-conformities appeared. For example, every operator is responsible for the quality of operation executed by him/her. If the nonconformity was found and that nonconformity appeared due to low quality of the operation that he/she is responsible for,  client want to identify that person in NCR or some other form.I thought maybe to use Responsible for NCR, but I think it is not such purpose of this field.Are there any other solutions where such information can be filled? Or maybe only to create custom field for that purpose.Thank you beforehand:)

I’m attempting to implement routings using the new (to apps10) feature of resource share per the below; every example given shows less than a full loading though. I’m trying to understand the expected behavior when loading requires more than one “cycle” i.e. if the below example was for 14 units instead of 4. I would expect one run at 100% and one at 40% per the slide below, but it doesn’t seem to be happening this way. In my test case, I have an operation line with a resource share of .5 and a lot size of 3 on the shop order. When I release this, I get the below information message about calculated resource share (which gets fixed at 1, and that makes sense)operation line with resource share and 2.
