When trying to change a part to Serialized not in inventory, I get a hard stop error message, Part exists on a purchase order line.  How do I resolve?

Few important concerns related to the CRO process in IFS Cloud has mentioned below.  01. The customer mentions that the company he/she sends the Part to( which was sent through the Customer Order) , would want to cancel/delete the CRO Exchange because the part has been damaged or scrapped. If so how can it be done without receiving the Part back?02. Since the Part is Customer Owned, the company will scrap the Part. In that case how can the CRO exchange status Could be changed from the customers end?03. Further He mentions that CRO Exchange created with a Part that’s "Customer Owned" and Exchange Code = “Single Swap” > Customer receives the item via customer order (dispatched quantity = 1) and “Dispatch Approved” = “No” > Via Operation “Scrap at Customer” is performed --> Qty Scrapped at Customer = 1 is there but even though its scrapped as mentioned in Point.No.03 > the CRO exchange status is still In Exchange. Note - The related concerns have been discussed and swarmed wit

We recently received a report from one of our customers regarding a critical issue in their production environment concerning a user.it appears that the issue is linked to the maximum number of roles enabled, reaching a limit of 148. Solution: I suggested to the client that reducing the MAX_ENABLED_ROLES to below 148 could resolve the problem.Problem: customer has expressed difficulty in reducing the assigned roles for this particular user.They've explained that current role structure involves end user roles, each linked to various functional roles. Changing these end user roles would impact multiple users, making it an impractical solution. Question:Please can I know is there any alternative solutions beyond maintaining the role count at 148?(Some IFS users have encountered difficulties with this limitation, and we are keen to find a workaround that ensures both functionality and flexibility.) Best Regards,Shafraz Mohamed

Hello, it’s possible to set field RevNo for the first default value “0” in application or I need a customization?Insert Engineering Parts, first RevisionI found the artical with info about IFS/Manufacturing Standards and there is the sentence: “ This is the number that designates a current or past version of a part or assembly. If IFS/Manufacturing Standards is not installed, the Part Revision value is set to 1. If IFS/Manufacturing Standards is installed, the value is retrieved from the Revision No field on the Manufacturing Standards/Part Revision and Attributes/Part Revision window. “, BUT I didn’t find it in my app. I don’t belive that I don’t have everything instal in my app IFS CLOUD.How to edit "Revision No" field | IFS Community

Hi! We manufacture serialized devices. Each device is programmed firmware, and the firmware is frequently updated. We want to have version traceability. We had the idea to create a non-inventory part for the software, and include it as a component of a product structure so that it can be selected in that way. However, this doesn’t seem to work. Does anyone know if it’s possible to have a non-inventory part as a component of a shop order? And, if not, does anyone have advice for firmware traceability when manufacturing devices? i.e. we want to know what versions of which software was installed when creating each lot. Thanks in advance for any assistance! 

How is it possible to revalue the weighted Average costed part?Imagine a scenario where the inventory part is set up at Weighted average and made several receipts. The part has been in inventory for several years without any recent transactions. Now the business understands the value of the stock has gone down. Is there a way to revalue the inventory so that the previous value will change and the lost value charged against PnL. This is possible under standard cost.. but the concern is how to do this under Weighted average method.

Hi, i created a costumer schedule and wanted to analyse how it appears as a forecast in the MS.Therefore i imported the customer schedule (no errors came up in the background jobs) , but there is nothing in the forecast 1 of the MS by part table. Probably there`s nomething missing in the part data but i couldn`t find out yet.Does anybody have ideas why it`s not working? Sample setup would be helpful also Thanks in advance  Raphael

Community, We are trying to use manufacturing tool to auto route the routing Alternate. my question is, how to make this happen? where the tool demand is to be set up in the origional demand, for example, parent shop order?Thank you.  

Hi All,Apps 10 - UPD14Does anybody know of a way to hide ‘other employees’ shop floor clocking's from being visible in the Shop Floor Workbench ‘Clocking’ tab?Currently, when a workshop operator views the ‘Clocking’ tab on the Shop Floor Workbench, they can see all other users clocking's. Any help / assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

Dear allI’m not sure who knows how to get a specific product general cost with the real cost, because currently we have so many cost price in system, which is the right one for the cost, if we want to have a clear cost which with current actual purchase price not with system weighted average priceor you can provide me all the different way to get the cost from system, i can analysis each way to find the one which i need. thank you in advance.standard price weighted average price average purchase price estimated cost

Hi, I wounder if anyone knows how the weighted  average is calculated? Is the time calculated since we implemented IFS? Or what timeframe is used? If it´s added manually where is it done?

Community, We have a scheduled datatask that will atuomatilly release shop order. by default, system always use “*” in production structure. what if we would like system auto pick the Alternate other than “*”, e.g. “1”, how we make this happen?Anyone know how can share your experience?Thank you.

Hi Community,I was wondering if anyone had any clever thoughts on how to somehow “link” Inventory Parts that are moulded in a family tool and always need to be ordered together even when part quantities become misaligned and MRP suggests ordering one before the other.Interested to hear your thoughts :)Cheers,Wade

Hi all, We are having some issues with part revisions and I can’t figure out the best way to tackle them. A little background on how we are using the software first (We are on IFS Cloud 22r2): We are using the engineering part navigator to build out the components that an assembly is comprised of. Once the assembly is complete, we use the Engineering Revision Transfer Actions page to transfer the assembly and its components. We use the ‘all level transfer’ so the entire product structure is transferred, including any new parts that were created for that assembly. We also have Remote Warehouse Assortments setup for service vans so they can be replenished with items when necessary. The items are moved from our main warehouse to the remote warehouses via a transport task created by a scheduled database task, Refill All Putaway Zones. The all-level part transfer causes an issue with part revisions for items that already existed in inventory. Any part that existed in inventory prior to the

Is it possible to put multiple parameters in for a lobby element like this?  

We are using IFS Cloud 22R2I’m trying to set a GTIN for a part as default. But there is no possibilty without selecting “Used For Identification”. Is there a way to change it like ;Used For identification : NoDefault :Yes 

Hello everybody,is it possible to create a new unit of measure in IFS?Unfortunately, I get an error message. 

Hi All, The following has been observed in a customer env (UPD 14). -> Navigate to MS level 1 part  > query for a certain part-> ‘Register Forecast’ tab: There are forecasts which exists for the 1st of Nov and Dec of 2023 as 100 and 200-> Navigate to import demand planning forecasts dialog > enter the part and change the time frame from 1/1/2024 to 17/10/2024 -> Leave the rest unchanged > OK -> Come back and refresh the page, the existing data for 2023 of Register Forecast tab are also changed.  Any idea on what could be causing this? Best regards,Devni

When I create the persistent field as a date format I am not given the option to add a default value, is there a reason for this ?  

Hi, 22R2 and onwards brings the MSO feature, to replace APB in the end. A major drawback of APB was the lacking integration with HR. Employee schedules and rules are not used for APB, which means that hollidays for example are not taken into account for the capacity calculation of a certain labour class. Is this resolved with MSO? Practical example:We have labour class “Welders”. The labour class consists of 2 persons, Person A and Person B,, each working 8h/days 5 days/week. That means, we have a capacity of 16h/workday in the labour class Welders.Person B will go on leave in week 43. This is entered in IFS, in the HR module. However, APB will not see this drop in capacity. In week 43, you will still have 16h/day capacity for labour class welders, while in reality you will only have 8h.Will MSO be able to solve the issue?

Hi Guys,  I have a question in relation on how to be able to include a BOM if another BOM isn't included. I am currently working to fix our IFS machine configurator.Is it possible to add a rule for this? - even though is only possible to add a AND // OR in the “LOG op” condition  Thanks in advance 🙌 Kind regards Nikolaj Pelle from GM in Denmark. 

Hi, Anyone ever encountered the same case with me? When I applied control plan template to a control plan, acceptance sampling detail on header and line were copied incomplete. Where Acceptance Sampling, AQL, Inspection Level and other details. I tried to reproduce with different scenarios, the result always the same.Was it happened to IEE as well?Control Plan Template with Setting of Acceptance Sampling for Attribute and VariableAcceptance Sampling of applied template ID did not copied properly (incomplete) to Control PlanControl Plan Template Line with detail of Acceptance Sampling (AQL)Applied Control Plan Template Line did not fully copied to control plan. Especially Acceptance sampling, AQL and inspection level.  

A cycle count was mistakenly generated in Apps 10, now all cycle counting displays the message “counting result rejected approval needed”. Is there a way to cancel all cycle counting and clear this out?
