Is it possible to kill a serial number in IFS? (Remove it from IFS completely) Only the top level manufactured part number is serialized in our system. (Lot/Batch tracking is not on, and no components used in the product structure are serialized) The serial number was built through a shop order. We have capabilities to scrap the unit or rename the unit, but we’d like to remove it from IFS completely. 

Hello, I started working as a module consultant in the IFS Digital transformation project. Can you help with screenshots and documentation of the planning and production modules on IFSCloud?

If we have ship loose parts (like bolts, nuts, etc.) that need to be shipped with an order (sometimes known at order onset and others not known until Manufacturing done) how can you add this to an order in IFS Cloud or at least have a notification of some sort for Shipping to know that these are required? We are on 23R1 SU10 currently.

Hi all, first question for the community...What are your best practices for scheduling outside service operations?In the middle of a routing we send a part to an outside vendor. We currently use machine run factor for example 40 hours to schedule the shop order to be outside for one week. Is there a way to schedule the start and end times for the operation based on the lead time loaded in Supplier For Purchase Part (for the OS part number)?Additional question, if the confirmed delivery date of the outside service purchase order is later or earlier than the scheduled time, can the scheduled operation reflect that change?Ty! 

Hi,We are using IFS10 update 15.Basic setup is so, that we have warehouse in different site than manufacturing is. Customer orders are entered to warehouse site and MS level 1 part is active in warehouse site. If there is a need to manufacture more to warehouse, system creates Distribution order to manufacturing site. Also purchase order and customer order between the sites are created automatically. In manufacturing site, they create Shop Order and then they do ’backwards pegging’. Sometimes, there is that situation that DO receipt date is two weeks ahead but production has possibility to produce earlier (SO need date is earlier than DO receipt date) → when they do ‘backward pegging’ correctly to SO, Why DO date is not changing ?   

Hi We are introducing lights out machining and looking to get an accurate cost of our parts. We can start an operation during the day which can take up to 24 hours to complete. My question is , As the cost of machining from 6pm to 6 am is dramatically reduced is there way of capturing this cost?

Hello,With the introduction of MES integrations in IFS Cloud we have stumbled on an issue that is not isolated to MES functionality.Is there any way to distribute the scrap between operations.Example: Using Nesting system that calculates the best possible nesting result given the operations available.Each nesting will result in a more or less unique scrapping percentage of the ingoing raw material.we want to distribute the scrap equally between the operations so we get the issuing from stock correctly. Is there a way in IFS Cloud Standard to distribute scrap over a set of operations by selecting multiple operations or by Operation Block.With MES functionality I know that this can be handled before IFS Cloud by the integration platform, but you seldom want to create too much logic in a integration platform.Without MES functionality (or integration) we can set planned scrap and then do an inventory counting afterwards, but

Hi All,I have encountered an issue where I do the “All Parts Cost Calculation” on a given site, but however for a certain set of manufactured parts (300/~15000) the cost buckets are not getting captured correctly. Example: Part X is Component of Y. Both are Manufactured.If I look at X individually it has 3 cost buckets (110, 200, 310).If I look at the tree of Y and Part X it has only (110). X  should ideally have all 110, 200 & 310. Because of this the Values of X in 200 & 310 has not rolled up to the top part. For Cost Calculation & Part Cost Setting always Not Cost Roll up is used. There is a Qty of Assembly > 0 for X in Product Structure of Y and it is set up as a Consumed item. The issue also exists only in the Part Cost page whereas if I use the Calculation on the Cost Build Up Per Structure/Routing page, the values are fetched correctly. However this

We are migrating and updating unit cost to Inventory parts which dosent have any stock.we have parts with valuation method weighted average and standard costfor weighted average we are trying to update through modify cost however getting error cost cant be zero while cost is passed to the method. (we have a cost for this part yes its zero cost not allowed) methods from INVENTORY_PART_UNIT_COST_API used, tried different ones but failed. Standard cost: In apps 8 apps 10 when estimated material cost in inventory cost is updated automatically unit cost is updated however in cloud 22r1 this is failing manually as well as through migration. We updated the estimated cost by “copying to cost set one”which also didnt update the unit cost only estimated cost was updated.Have a feeling this could be something to do with costing module. Not aware of any changes from apps 10 here. Waiting for inputs.Regards,brijesh

Apps10 UPD15How is the Calc Component Quantity in an As-Built Structure calculated? What is the formula?

Apps10 UPD15I have an As-Built structure for a multi-level lot/batch tracked (non-serial) part PZ-000 lot/batch UDF-6, quantity of 1, that looks like this.I released a multi-level repair shop order for PZ-000, lot size = 1. I manually issued lot/batch UDF-6 to the order. The Multilevel Repair Structure, though, shows lot/batch UDF-12 in the tree. What could be the reason? Was this corrected in a later update?

I am using IFS10 Aurena I have an Engineering Part Hierarchy created in Engineering Part Revisions.  I want to move / copy / push the entire Hierarchy to inventory parts.  21 Total Parts.Can this be done all together or do I have to do each part individually? 

I want to create a Serialized Equipment Object that contains the Parent Part and all child parts from Engineering Part Hierarchy.  I have been able to create the Inventory parts but now would like to create the Equipment.Engineering Part Hierarchy was part of this post Engineering Part Navigator - MULTILEVEL to Inventory Parts | IFS Community I created this equipment object one part at a time.  I feel like I should be able to create it based on the Hierarchy. I need to create about 50 of these at different sites and would rather not do them individually. Thank You

Dear community,I need your help regarding the export control module as something is not clear for me.If I well understood, each part that are export-controlled needs to be identified, classified and approved in the part catalog. In addition to this, for purchased parts, the classification must also be done in the supplier for purchased part.Why is this required ? because what is troubling me is that we must maintain manually the same information on 2 different windows. And so, it can generates discrepancies if we forget to update one value on one or the other screen.Am I wrong ? or I’ve been missing out on…Thanks for your help 

HI everyone,Need your help on export control parameters.How to classify a SFPP which is not export controlled ? because as soon as we add a new line in the export control tab and select “no” as export controlled, the 3 fields below highlighted are mandatory. I do not understand why the logic is not the same than on the master part.🤔Thanks in advance

dear all,i want to create new field in ifs10. how can i revised below query for read only select expression, SELECT ipis.QTY_ONHAND - ipis.QTY_RESERVED eldeki_miktar fROM PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ALL pola RIGHT JOIN INVENTORY_PART_IN_STOCK_UIV ipis ON ipis.project_id = pola.:project_id AND ipis.part_no = pola.:part_no and ipis.activity_seq=pola.:ACTIVITY_SEQ and ipis.CONTRACT=pola.:CONTRACT  ps: Below is the screen where I will make this development. 

Hi, Our operations user completed a serialized structure with serialized components but did not assign the component serials to the correct assembled serials. Now all the finished goods are not properly recorded. How can we rearrange the as built structure to show correctly?

23.2.3I have copied the structure and cost from part A into product B in an Estimate.There is only one operation with a Mach Run Factor of 1.0 hours/unit and an operation cost of 130.00.I edit the Mach Run Factor to 1.5.The operation cost remains at 130.00.Q: Shouldn’t this cost automatically update to 195.00? I believe it did in Apps10.When I calculate the estimate item the operation cost remains at 130.00.Q: Shouldn’t the calculation update the operation cost to 195.00?With the operation cost not updating the Estimate cost is not correct.

Hey all,I’m new to Quick Reports so I don’t fully understand the error message.  How do I add a Join?  I’ve done some searching here and through Google Search and can’t seem to locate a fix.Thank you all for your help!Robert  

23.2.3I have an Estimate Version where the Base Currency is USD and the customer Currency is GBP.The valid currency rate for Currency Rate Type 1-Normal (Ref Currency Code = USD) for GBP is 0.7522, Conversion Factor = 1.In this Version ,the Calc Sales Prices look like this:What is the formula for calculating the Sales Price in the Customer’s currency? 

Hi,I am working on connecting the spare parts to the serial objects. Is there a way to connect the Spare Part to same Parent Object cross all sites?Let’s say main part number: xxx always have the same 6 spare parts and I want all 6 spare parts with fixed quantity to get uploaded under all sites. I can see I need to put that manually every time for each site. Isn’t there a way that we can link the same 6 spare parts from the same site to the main part number?

In IFS application complex assemblies can be partially disassembled and assembled as per the business requirement.Work scope is defined from “Define Work scope” screen. It could be defined with maintenance levels and modules and can be further included or exclude as per the business requirement.Once the work scope is released MRO interim order structure will be created according to the defined work scope.In the interim order structure, the disassembly and disposition shop orders are crated only for the selected work scope. Once the disassembly and disposition process are completed, they will be reserved in the corresponding assembly shop order along with the remaining assembly (assembly which was not included from the work scope).The assmbly parts which are not included to the work scope was directly reserved as a partial p
