I have created an lobby who is counting the amount in a certain “Work Center No” but I want to have the number of an specifik “Operation Description” In this case only count TestingThis is the output.and this is the definition 

Could someone point me to where I may find work instructions with examples for IFS site, production line, work center, and routing setup to support visual shop order planning? I see some general structure documentation on these and a few demos explaining new UI for Aurena, but I'd like to understand the optimum way to set up the architecture for our manufacturing sites & lines by referencing a step by step work instruction with some hypothetical examples.

Hi Who can tell me more about the critical path? How exactly is this determined? What is the basis? Lead times?  Thanks for the help

HiI want to record a negative transaction for an operation on a production order. How can I do this? Best regards

 Hi, im tyring to create a query for a quick report to easily export a list of characteristic values for variable part number, i cannot see how this report connects the object key from this view with the object key from the  technical_specification_both  table where the values are stored. i looked at this once before a long time ago and i recall i used an API  could anyone help ?  

Community,below part is serial or non-serial tracking in inventory/receipt and issue? I have only After Delivery Serial Tracking check box checked.  

Hi, I need some advice.COPYING COST SET 2 TO COST SET 1. Without Capture Cost Sources set to “on” the material cost from the product structure (Bill of material) do not get connected via the connected object setting in the project. Any insight please.  See word document attached. Regards,  Sean.  

Has anyone had any success with calculating the Cumulative Lead Time field?    I’ve not been able to get it to work.  I was advised by my previous employer a case had been filed, but there was never any resolution provided.  This was a number of years ( and releases ) ago… This morning, I updated the purchase part lead times for some parts in a structure, and ran the Calculate Cumulative Lead Time job, but the cum lead time field in the manufactured part doesn’t update.                  

When we scrap material on a shop order operation, the  “Scrapping in Operation” transaction is only pulling through the labour component of the scrapped part.  From what i have seen all the cost buckets that make the unit cost of the part including the material should be included. We have rolled up the part cost and everything appears as it should be elsewhere.  How do we configure the system so it pulls the material components into the scrapping in Operation transaction? Any advise would be appreciated.

We are looking to upgrade from IFS 10 to Cloud.Is it possible to use MRP to plan Customer Owned material in Cloud?If not, how are people planning Customer Owned raw material?

I am working in the Apps 10 UPD 23 GCS IEE environment and I am trying to manage a Shop Order Multi-Level Repair Structure.  I can get the structure to appear but when I RMB on any of the components in the tree, the component replacement selection is grayed out.Is this due to a permissions issue?  If so, what permission should be granted to allow that function to be used?  Thanks!!  

We use standard costing and our product structures are defined accordingly. When we produce a product, say 1000 pounds of final material, the system reserves and backflushes the required materials based on the product structure.Given that our production is measured in pounds, it is challenging to predict the exact amount of material the recipe will require. We want to know if there is a way, after completing the shop order, to adjust the quantity of material used (either by adding or reducing it). This adjustment would allow us to see the shop order cost variance. Currently, we cannot see any variance as it always matches the standard cost.Is there a method to achieve this adjustment post-production to reflect the actual material usage and, consequently, see the cost variance? TLDR : Can we manually issue more material than the assigned quantity in IFS?Thanks

We currently use the "Receive Case" option at the Supplier for Purchase Part level, allowing us to receive parts into different options. Our process involves receiving the material into the Arrival section, inspecting it at Quality, and then moving it into Stock, which suits the Purchase Parts well.However, for shop orders, we're receiving them into Picking locations and applying an Availability Control ID to prevent the material from being consumed on Shop Orders/Customer Orders until after inspection. We're looking to streamline Shop Order Receipts by receiving directly into the Quality location and then transferring to Stock post-inspection. Unfortunately, when processing shop orders, the Quality Assurance location types aren't appearing in the Location No field in the Receipt window; only Picking locations are visible. Despite setting up the Inventory Part Default Location with a Quality location, it doesn't automatically appear in the Shop Order Receipt window.Are

Hi Everyone,When we search for “Manufacturing Structures” via the navigation menu, it is labeled as “Product Structure” on the page. Could someone please explain the reason for this?Additionally, could you please clarify the difference between a “Manufacturing Structure” and a “Product Structure”?Thank you in advance for your assistance.Best Regards,Sithari. 

Hi all, I have been working on creating a migration job import new Functional Objects in IFS Cloud. I keep getting so close with a solution, but now am running into a new set of errors... it feels like I've tried everything. Any help is greatly appreciated.When I enter SITE1 into the contract field, the migration job doesn't recognize the input. That being said, when I enter SITE2 into the contract field, I get an error that I don't have access to the site - that tells me that the migration job is able to read the field but cannot recognize either SITE1 or SITE2 as being valid.  

We have a customer order line demand for a phantom part but can’t work out how we fulfill the demand.  Does anyone have a suggestion on how we can get around this?

Hello,How to send in scraps many items with serial numbers in one operation?Note that if you select just one item the button is available but if select more, button disappear.In advanceThanks

When “Enter As” is clicked from the Shop Floor Workbench screen (see below), I want to capture the Employee ID or Name but it doesn’t seem to be stored anywhere and is not accessible from the console window.Can anyone advise how I could capture this information?   Thank you.  

We issue shelf life materials as we use them. We have instances where 1 logical location has multiple lot batches to issue for the same part #. Is there a way to have the technician scan a lot batch barcode, and then only the options for that lot batch show to be issued?  We enter the Manual Issue from the material tab in Shop Floor Workbench  

In our metal shop, we’re attempting to optimize raw material by producing parts that will consume full steel sheets. As an example, if we are producing A123, Quantity 50, we want to automatically produce Quantity 50 of B123. These two parts/quantities can be produced on one sheet of sheet. We looked at the byproduct receipt function, however we do not think that will work. To us, the byproduct receipt function is more for donuts and donut holes. If you are making a donut, you simply punch out the center and you have your finished product. In our example with steel the byproduct needs additional operations.We looked into setting it up in the structure, howev

Hello, I’m in 23R1 and seeing some unexpected behaviour with MS Level 1 parts when I run Site level MRP. I have 20 Manufactured parts that are MS Level 1 parts. Create S/P is set to create S/P Entire Horizon and when I run the MS calculation, everything works as I expect and Shop Order Requisitions are generated. If I then run selective MRP based on the Planner these parts share, the demand flows down and MRP generates Purchase Requisitions for the component parts. However, if I run MRP for the entire Site, MRP generates a handful of Shop Orders for the MS Level 1 parts. I did some investigating and this seems to happen if the on-hand quantity is below the safety stock. If I Re-Run MS after this, the MRP generated requisitions are then deleted. Is this a bug? The parts are top-level sales parts and not in any other structures.  Requisitions Generated by both MS & MR

Hi All, I’m interested in the ‘best practice’ way to use Shop Order Auto Processing for MS Level 1 parts. I’m in 23R1. I have a set-up where we use Auto Processing to covert the MS generated SORs within the PTF. This is because we have several routing alternates for each SO and the planners are working from the Visual Capacity Planning Screen to ensure all work centers are fully utilized. The planners resolve the overloads primarily by changing the routing alternate, so need to work with SOs rather than SORs. The work centers have different costs, speeds & resource shares, so we moved away from using multiple resources in one work center. The Auto Processing job works great most of the time and saves a lots of clicks. However, I hadn’t realized if for any reason the Shop Order needs to be deleted/cancelled, the original SOR remains in place and still shows as planned supply. As we have the S/P setting to Create S/P Req &amp

Hi,Is there any report to see the raw material consumption for a particular period from IFS?Thanks in advance..

Hi, in our business, every shop order needs manual labor. We would like that shop orders cannot be closed if no time has been reported, is that possible? We sometime have operators who mistakenly approve the wrong shop order in the time clock or the SFW, we would like to avoid this.
