24.1.3 and reported by customer in their 23R2.In the page Shop Order Operations, there used to be a command ‘Scheduling’ which would allow you to either Sequence Operations or Schedule Shop Orders. This command is no longer present in this page.I can sequence, though, in the page Visual Shop Order Operations Planning.Why is this command no longer available here? 

Hi, we would to add an approval step on the reported times of our employees using the shop floor workbench. Operators use the shop floor workbench to report time they spend on a operation. Can we add an ‘approval’ step to this? On the site level, we have the option ‘Authorisation required’ on shop floor reporting setting, but where can we approve this? In an ideal situation, i’d like to this in the screen ‘shop floor clockings’ or ‘shop floor reports’? Thanks!

Hello I have recently started a new data analyst role, we have been tasked with reviewing all the master data we have in our system looking for errors, missing data, etc. One of our new tasks is to identify all of the List of Value Fields in the Inventory Parts, Sales Parts, Purchase Parts, Engineering Parts and Master Parts screens.We are currently going through this one screen and all the associated tabs at a time listing out all the LOV’s manually.We are using IFSAPP10I came across the Target Table Definitions screen while looks through the IFS community help screens but it says this is for IFS Cloud, is an IFS10 version f the screen shot below as this would provide us with a lot of great information.    Any help would be appreciated

We have SO 1900014 linked to project 50301BU, item no. 17881467.We are trying to remove the part 185X48X25.4MM-125X6 from the BOM and replace it with 185X43X25.4MM-125X6, but we are unable to do so. The system is giving an error (see attached).I believe this error is in place to prevent directly deleting parts in the SO that are linked to a project. However, when we modify the part in the project item information, the same change is not reflected in the SO.As a result, the BOM in the project item info does not match the BOM in the SO, and we have no way of updating the SO. This discrepancy is preventing us from closing the SO due to the incorrect BOM.And getting the attached errorCould someone help with this?

Hello,When a expense sheet is authorized, for each line in the expense sheet, a project transaction line is created.The expense reference is copied to Internal Comment field in every project transaction generated, but I can’t find the traceability between the expense sheet lines and their corresponding project transactions lines.I would like to identify which project transaction line corresponds to each expense sheet line. Is it posible?.(We are working with IFS 9). Thanks in advance,Amaia

Hello All,Hoping someone can help me here.  We have a customer that apply material overhead to a work task.  I have set up the cost elements, buckets and templates and added the template to parts.  This process works and the OH is calculated on the work task as expected.  The issue we are faced with is the customer updates their OH rates on a quarterly bases.  When I run the update part specific overheads the system changes the rate even if the end date is specified.  I also noticed that I ran the update on Sept 12 but the date of the last activity did not change, although the field level details state it was the last time the record was updated.  Here is the issue.  Even if I add a new line and end date the first line when I run the update job it changes the rate for both lines, therefore losing historical rates.  Should this job not allow to end date previous rates and insert a new rate based on the date the update is performed?In the example below when the material is issued to the

Community,Our experience tell us, in window Engineering Revision Transfer Actions, the column PDM Preliminary Rev. Change will be updated to Changed status, and the column Proposed Start Date is not updated, it will still keep the date when the last transfer date took place. Our request is, if the column PDM Preliminary Rev. Change is updated from Not Changed to Changed, the Proposed Start Date should also be updated to the current system date.for example, below part is transferred to production on 9/6/2024, I updated the part structure today, i.e. 9/13/2024, can system also update the column Proposed Start Date to 9/13/2024?  

Hi!We have some new users in a new site where we have a problem that default lobby is always picking wrong site and company for the user. We save the right ones, do Save profile, exit right way and again next time same wrong settings are back. I checked that personal profile picks up the same wrong ones again. Also changing them there do not help. Other users sharing the same base profile do not have this same problem.  They have the right company saved on their personal profile. Lobby element have in this element #USER_DEFAULT_SITE# #DEFAULT_COMPANY#User have only one company and site defined.

I am starting to use operation blocks to optimize the schedule and I’m struggling to use the Manufacturing visualizer to represent what an operator will see in the shop floor work bench (SFWB).  The sequence I typically use is:Assign operation blocks in shop order operations. Determine sequence based on load and need dates. Schedule operation blocks in Operation Blocks overview using predecessor blocks and forward scheduling. Review in Operation blocks Manufacturing visualizer grouped by Operation block ID. Review in SFWB from an operator's perspective.Situation:  The scheduler has applied operation blocks to operations and has the work sequenced and scheduled.  In the manufacturing visualizer, with operation blocks don’t represent the sequence and therefore the user must use the operation block overview screen to review sequences (not graphically).  Any changes to shop order quantities via merge or updating the shop order lot size causes the shop order to change its dates and scheduli

We have a PO (A90081) linked to SO (1889644). The PO is for an external operation related to SO 1889644.Previously, the user over-received the SO and reported all items as received. They have since reversed the over-receipt for the part on the SO, but we are still encountering the error: "Cannot ship more than completed in previous operation" when trying to receive the PO. I believe this may be due to the need to reverse the operation report as well. However, I am unsure how to proceed.Could you please advise on how to resolve this error?

To me it looks like the material bottleneck settings have been swapped in the logic. “Always Finite” components will be scheduled in Shop Orders with planned goods receipts. If I switch to “Finite” the Shop Orders gets “Unscheduled”!? 

Morning,IFS Help on this utility is non-existent, and IFS Support once again refuse to help describing this as a training issue.All I want to understand is what logic the utility uses to re-classify parts.Thanks in advance if anyone has any documentation they can share.Chris.

Hi All,How to activate variables as a result of analysis? 

Is it possible to backflush from a location if the stock has a catch qty?

hello everyone,The issue arises when I try to link a particular shipment part (PO for that project) to a work order for the project—an error occurs. However, if the same part is attached to a work order for a different project, it functions correctly. The error consistently happens with all work orders for that specific project, and there are seven parts in that shipment.only one part is working properly ont hat specific project

After rolling costs for multiple items simultaneously, the inventory valuation was affected in an unintended manner. Is there a way to rollback a cost roll? Thank you for your help in advance

Hi, does anybody know, how to set up the history log in the IFS 7.5?Thank you Pavel Míl

Hello Team IFS,I have a request from our customer to change automatically the statut of a product structure.We create a new revision from the “Product Structure” page by copying the latest revision. Then this new revision become “Buildable”. The feature we want is to change automatically the status of the Old revision to “Obsolete”. Because even if the phase out date is passed the old product structure remains as “Buildable”. We don’t want this to avoid missclicking from users. Thanks for your help :)

Our company has one manufacturing site that supplies all other [seven] sites using distribution orders. So, our main site (Site1) has a mix of [Inventory Part] Part Types of Manufactured and Purchased while the other sites (Site2-Site8) have all Part Type = Purchased Raw. We would like the cost structure of our inventory parts to be identical throughout all sites. Currently, Site1 uses Costing Template M-110 which breaks out cost into cost buckets 100, 200, and 221. Site2-Site8 uses costing template P-110 which accumulates all of the cost in bucket 110 (because these parts are “purchased”). Is is possible to make all 8 sites have the same [M110] cost structure that break the costs out into the three different buckets? (even though Site2-Site8 does not have product structures or routings in their sites...) Furthermore, we update all our part costs periodically. We plan to calculate the cost in Site1 (because this is where the product structures and routings exist) but then would like it

Hi,Any idea as how the supply quantity in the Inventory Part Availability Planning Screen is calculated when both Scrap Factor and Multiple Lot Size are given. Example: Scrap Factor 40, Multiple Lot Size 10. After PMRP run, system shows Supply in IPAP screen as 102 as shown below: Quantity in PR is correct as 170However, if Multiple Lot size is changed to 50, scrap factor is still 40 then after PMRP run, Supply is shown in IPAP screen as 120 as below: Quantity in PR is correct as 200.In both the scenario, PR quantity is correct but not able to understand the calculation logic shown in Inventory Part Availability Screen. Regards,Shahnawaz Farooqui

We create DOP orders from Customer Orders where no lead time is set, and the lead time is effectively 0. However, the planned delivery date and the due date on the DOP order show a 1-day difference. Why is there a 1-day difference even though no lead time is specified?  

24.1.3.Setup:Multi-level product structure looks like this:FG PW-PSM-000 is lot tracked, weighted average, cost per lot. For all subassemblies Negative On Hand Allowed = YES (no lot tracking). Safety Stock = 0 for all parts. All components have zero on-hand quantity and zero supply/demand. Lower subassemblies assigned default picking locations. Customer order for 2000 tons of FG PW-PSM-000 is the only demand relevant for this structure. Looking only at the IPAP situation for the manufactured parts through the following steps.Run MRP for customer order line (selective MRP). IPAP results:Report production receipt for 2100 tons (overproduction) of PW-PSM-001, driving the on-hand of level 1 negative. IPAP results:Run Selective MRP for low level 1. IPAP results:Why did level 2 demand and supply remain at 2000? Expected it to see the level 1 supply of 2100 as its ‘new’ net requirement.

Many manufacturing companies sell complete products, but actually manufacture and ship the main components and do the final assembly on site at the customer. Main reason to do so, is when the complete product requires a lot of transportation volume. A good example is a furniture manufacter selling tables. The table legs and top are manufactured and shipped. On site the table is assembled.So, I want to sell and “make” a table, but actually manufacture, pick, pack and ship the main components. Often these type of companies work with CtO and DOP. What would be the best way to implement this type of manufacturing in IFS Cloud? 

Community, Does IFS has ATP report available out of box? Thank you.

Community, Is it possbile in IFS to make a designated warehouse for service business only? currently we are using parts that are being used by both manifacturing and service.  We are in IFS APP10. Thank you.
