I've been trying to use asset design and project functionalities to create structures that can later be converted into equipment structures for maintenance purposes.The business case is a company that needs to have default equipment structures that serve as template without referencing particular serial parts, and, that unlike serial of funtional structures, can be easily copied with all of their components. I've been trying to understand which steps are needed to create design object structure and later convert it to an equipment structure. Does someone know what I could be missing?

Hello,According to the documentation, the default value option “Adjust for Op Deviation Qty” is inherited from the manufactured inventory part when shop orders are created. It works fine when a shop order is created automatically from Requisition or customer order, the option default selection on shop order match the selection on the inventory part.But when creating a shop order manually for manufactured inventory part, the option “Adjust for Op Deviation Qty” is enabled by default, even when the option is disabled on the manufactured Inventory part.   Is there a way to disable this option by default for shop orders created manually?Thanks in advance for your help.

When users tries to approve shop order in shop floor workbench an error pop up.“The date applied of the transaction cannot be a future date” Note- The error then resolves itself, occur generally in month-end

  Hi, Does anyone know if recent versions of Cloud support the multi drag and drop of operations in the manufacturing Visualizer?  In DOP and/or project manufacturing, all shop orders connected often need to be rescheduled as a whole. In APB, you can simply drag and drop the DOP or project and everything moves along. Is a similar option available in the Visualizer?   

I wondered if anyone knew of any functionality that would help the following scenario: I have a recipe structure made of components A, B & C. With a weight share (all UoM kg) of 40%, 30% & 30% respectively. Practical Process: “A” comes in from a supplier on a trailer and a delivery can vary in weight +/- 10%. The batch of finished good is created by weighing the delivered quantity of A and then auto dosing the quantity of B & C to match. Currently “A” is issued to the Shop Order then a calculation done outside of IFS to determine the finish good qty to receive. this is received and B & C are backflushed. Is there any functionality in IFS to do the receipt quantity based off the recipe structure and issued quantity of A? I.e. so we could remove the outside calculation?

Hi All,As a part of data migration, I’m looking for an API to perform “Get Latest Vule” and then “Apply” as it’s done on the screen “Edit Configuration - Customer Order” Anyone did that ?   Thanks,

Does anyone know of a way to upload a list of parts to a configuration structure (instead of entering the parts line by line)? This could be a copy from IFS directly or uploaded from a list (.txt, .xlsx, etc.). Configuration Structure: Add list of components?? 

Hi All, when issuing for shop order it offers the option to select the parent part qty. Anyone aware of the way to unissue by parent qty? Thanks.  

Hello,My customer has several business bases where users require to monitor some changes made on some tables. (Design office : keep track DOP structure & routing modifications for example).I know that table tracking can be enabled with Hisoty log configuration screen.However, to see every users’ modifications there is a need to have the Administrator privilege enabled, even if we use quick reports or lobby elements to display the log data.==> What does granting this privilege to a “normal” (Design office, quality manager, Operations manager, ...) end-user mean in terms of system behavior and accesses ?==> I saw in a diferent post that IAL could be used as a workaround : is it still meant to be deprecated ?System : IFS Cloud Aurena 22R2

Any idea on how to estimate transport emissions associated with part in eco-footprint functionality. “The amount of substance emitted per one unit of distance and one unit of weight during transportation, in substance unit of measure can be assigned to each ship via in Transport Emissions window. But, when different amounts of parts are transported in different deliveries, how emissions per part can be estimated?

I tried to cancel or delete Purchase Requisition line related to work order, But I couldn't because of the following error message. Can anyone help me solve this? I would appreciate it if you could.Thank You 

I have a customer attempting to change existing parts with Part Type Manufactured to Manufactured Recipe.  Whatever we try, we get an error “The state of this parts structure prevents the structure from being converted”.  We tried setting the Structure to Obsolete, putting in Phase Out Dates, making a new Rev with a structure Tentative, nothing works.  Is it possible to do this, hoping we are missing the right steps/process to allow this to happen.  We can’t delete the Product Structure header as it has been made Buildable.  They are in Apps 10.

Hello,When adding a part on the component section in an estimate item, the field ‘Estimate structure’ is by default disabled.It is time consuming to enable the estimate structure for each part.Is there a parameter or default parameter where we can activate it please? IFS Cloud Web version: 23.1.3Thanking you.

Hello, I’m trying to understand the forecast consumption logic for a scenario where you have a Customer Order raised & delivered in between running MS Level 1 calculations. I ran a test and I’m not 100% sure I understand some of the system behavior. I set a part to have a forwards consumption of 10 days, backwards consumption of 0 days and ran MS Level 1 Calc with some existing data: I then created a new Customer Order for QTY 2 with a planned delivery date of 20/02/24, but then immediately released, picked & delivered it today (14/02/24). I then re-ran MS Level 1: I can see the on-hand has reduced from 13 to 11 - OKThe forecast value itself has reduced from 5 to 3 on 19/02/24 - I wasn’t expecting this...Why does the forecast number itself reduce rather than just showing as consumed?Why did this change the forecast data on the 19/02/24 and not the forecast data on 16/02/24? Edit to add some more parameters:DTF = 0 daysPTF = 15 Days5 day/week calendar 

Hello, What does indicated percentage in the Issued Qty (%) field mean?Thank you for your input,Alina

Community, Our quality team would like every NCR report to have the supplier connected, like example below. My understanding is, this activity is manual and optional. is there a way in IFS can make this activity mandatory? for example, for Non Comformance Code ‘ABC’, you have to connect it to the supplier.Is it possible in IFS? we are in APP10, UPD9 

  Hello, I have an issue where I want to schedule an automatic reorder point request for a specific part in our manufacturing. I have succeeded this in a test environment but can’t seem to get it working in PROD. I may have missed something but cannot figure it out as I do not receive any errors. If I run a replenishment request for the kanban card, everything works fine and a shop order proposal is generated but not with a scheduled task. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is not working?  

Can someone please provide a guideline on how to assign custom field to base profile so all users could see it as default?Thank you.

As the value in the “Available Qty To Move” column on the Inventory Part in Stock screen increases, we are seeing a noticeable performance hit. We have a few inventory parts that regularly get reserved out to thousands of orders. This appears to create a significant performance hit as IFS attempts to sum up the value for the Available Qty To Move. This appears to be populated from Inv_Part_Stock_Reservation_API.Get_Available_Qty_To_Move, and potentially from the Shop_Material_Assign_Res view underneath that. Are there any plans for optimizing or improving the performance related to this field (and the underlying queries it’s making.) We currently have specific part numbers that it is taking 70 seconds to return results for.

Hi,One of the customers is looking for an option to change decimals up to three points in the quantity fields (refer to the below image) of Shop floor workbench. Can we achieve this functionally? If so, any recommendations?  

Community,I am doing CRO External Repair Order, system create a customer order to deliver the broken parts to external supplier via a customer order.The customer order is released once it is created. Since we are using condition code, the broken part we disassembled from the Customer Owned parent object and receive into stock with condition code ‘UNSERV’. In below screenshot, I am trying to change the condition code on customer order, I got below error.Question:how to handle this scenario? is it a bug? 

Hello, Does anybody know if there is a way to add a component to a product structure with a quantity per batch rather than a quantity per assembly? As far as I know we can only put parts on a structure with a qty per assembly, so this will always be multiplied up by the lot size on any shop orders. We have a scenario where we need to use just 1 piece of a certain component per shop order loaded, regardless of lot size. All I have been able to come up with so far is adding the part on to the product structure with a very small fractional qty per (0.00000001). Since our inventory part UoM in this instance is ‘PCS’, when a shop order is loaded, the allocation is rounded up to 1 - provided the lot size isn’t big enough to make it any more! I just wondered if I was missing anything that would handle this in a better way, and not rely on UoM or lot size to allow it to work?    Many thanks, Steph.

Morning I am using IFS Apps 10 and having an error trying to manually un-issue material from a shop order. When i go to enter the quantity to un-issue i get the error message below stating ‘the quantity of material trying to un-issue is greater that the quantity available on this transaction’ but when checking the inventory part transaction history you can see that the quantity issues to the shop order is equal to the quantity i am trying to un-issue. does anyone know what is causing this error messages and how to get round this?  regards,Jamie
