Hello All, We went live on Apps10 UPD15 a few months ago using the Aurena front end.  Since we’ve now gotten several months of transactions in the system that the Shop Order Costs projection (and a handful of other projections around shop floor transactions) have some sort of  “Default filter” that is filtering out results older than 100 days.  This means that when we search for shop order costing results for orders outside that window, we get a blank page.However, one of our team noted today that if we manually modify the URL string to set this value to false, the record will appear: Curious if this group knows if there is an easy way to set this part of the URL to default to false so that users can find their records without having to manually change it?  Have looked in several obvious places for a configurable value, but not having any luck. Any help/thoughts from the group would be appreciated!

Hello,Is there any functionality where I can get the calculated times to finance and not use the real clocking times from Shop Floor Workbench? Scenario could be that you want to follow up on the clockings but not report the actual times to finance.

With Apps 10, via the system parameter “Show only the assigned logical printers and default physical printer”, it was possible to limitate the list of logical printers proposed inside the report dialog box.  We note that the system parameter no longer exists with IFS CLOUD. Is this functionality still covered in another way with IFS CLOUD?This feature was very useful for customers with hundreds of logical printers.

Hello everyone, I am facing a strange behavior in ifs report designer.On the Shipment packing list report, when preview/printing, the system print the first header (which is 6cm height) then the first body is printed on the second page.There is no page break on the report. Any help would be appreciated.Result appears as following :Then on page 2 :Regards 

23.2.4In Visual Shop Order Operations Planning, I am trying to sequence operations with characteristics in a Work Center in the Machine Operations Scheduling Gantt.The documentation reads as:To sequence all operations for a resource or work center loaded in the Gantt chart, open the card for the resource or day and click Sequence. To sequence all operations for a resource or work center on one or several days, select the relevant day(s) for the resource and click Sequence. To sequence specific operations, select the relevant operations and click Sequence.For #2, how can a user select the days in the Gantt, where should a user click for this?For #3, when I select one operation in the Gantt the Sequence command is available, but when I select multiple operations the Sequence command is not available. 

Hey all, We have 2 locations that are physically nearby each other (20 minute drive or so). Both locations will process shop orders, but, ultimately, the finished assemblies will be assembled into a final system at location A. We are considering making the 2 locations separate sites for financial and inventory segregation, but I am concerned about the shop order processing complexity that this will introduce. Ideally, we’d be able to enter a shop order on Site A which has 2 components: Sub Assembly created at Site A and Sub Assembly created at Site B. Then we’d select which site we source each assembly from and that would create a linked shop order for that site. I know it doesn’t work exactly like that, and there will probably be distribution orders or DOP orders involved, but hopefully that simplistic “ideal” makes sense. Is that ideal realistic in IFS? How do others handle multi-site manufacturing that is assembled and shipped to the customer from a single site?

We are using Manufacturing Control Plans (Analysis) to capture data that is presented and recorded at 1.0x10^-8. 2 questions,I created a unit of measure with a Factor as 1*10^-8. In the Analysis. why cant I type in my number 1.0, and that exponential apply to it? It does not recognize it.I can set my Outer Max to be the exponential in the control plan as “5E-08” it pulls in to the analysis as “5E-08,” pictured above. When I enter my results in the exponential format, the pass/fail properly calculates, but after being saved it shows as the zeros below. I know the cell is able to handle the number of digits because when I type in the result in the decimal format and save it stays the same, pictured below.  

Dear Community, We have a question related to Cost Bucket “170” and PO Charges. Environment Inventory Part setup (Weighted Average) Cost Setup of the part  Cost Bucket “170” is defined. (Hoping to capture the Charges of the PO separately) There is a Price and a Charge amount defined for the PO   After receiving 1 qty --> Inventory Transaction looks like below. (Ignore the Delivery Overhead as it is not relevant to the problem).All the values are fine. Inventory part Unit Cost However, when checking the Inventory part Unit Cost Details, we can see that both the Price amount and Charge has been captured under the Cost Bucket 110. Question is why the Charge amount is not captured under the Cost Bucket “170” and displayed separately here ?  Thank you

Community, any experience on how to download cost set data into Excel? we saved 2023 inventory cost into cost set 8, any way to download it ?  Thank you.

Hello, I’m in IFS Cloud 23R1. I have a scenario where I am raising a Shop Order for 10 parts. The parts are serialized and are manufactured sequentially throughout the day. I would like to ensure an analysis result is recorded for each serial number before it can be receipted into inventory. However I also need to be able to receipt the parts in individually through the day as they are manufactured. I set “Analysis Required for Receipt” to yes, but then if I set Inspection Code to:100% Inspection - I can’t receipt them in individually as I can’t confirm the analysis result individually. Sample size =1 I can receipt in any of the parts as long as I have 1 analysis result registered.I wondered if I could use the “Mandatory Create Shop Order Analysis Result” in the Quality options settings, but can’t seem to get the behavior I need. Is there a standard combination of settings I can use to achieve my requirement?

We have set-up a safety stock for a manufactured part. After running MS level 1, there is created no shop order requisition to fulfill this demand. For the unconsumed forecast, shop order requisitions are created. For the safety stock there is only created a proposed ‘MS-supply’. The required underlying demand for purchase parts is also not translated to more than 1 layer deep (so no demand for parts in e.g. a purchase structure). Is there a setting to make sure that running the master schedule results in creating a shop order requisition for safety stock demand? Kind regards, Bart

Hi All,It is much appreciated if anyone can guide me to connect the material requisition to a project activity. Currently I am facing below error when I try to add project connection details(RMB option) manually.Thanks in advance,Theja 

Community, Does IFS MRP support planning in Uom from Input Uom Group rather than inventory Uom?I don’t see this option available in APP10. Thank you.

How to check the view of Dialog box of any screen

Is there a report for printing complete Analysis results per Shop order, preferably all data types in one report, in shop order operation order? I see there is a way to print the manufacturing control plan attached to the Shop order, I want the filled out version (analysis results).We are trying to determine how to output the work done for source inspection purposes.

Hello community, I have a question about family configuration management. I would like to know if in IFS, is it possible that we define options that condition the choice of other options?  As an example, supposing that we have 3 configutared parts for a phantom part (upper level) with a family configuration of 3 caracteristics; Color → options value C1 and C2Size→ options value S1 and S2Door→ options value D1 and D2 Part A→ with characterictics rules C1 and S1 and D1Part B→ with characterictics rules C2 and S1 and D2Part C→ with characterictics rules C2 and S2 and D2 What i want is, as soon as i choose value C1 for color, IFS do not display me anymore S2 and D2 as values to choose on other caractestics(size and door) in configuration creation menu by noticing that there is no such an option possible. Do not hesitate if my question is not clear enough. Thanks for your answers in advance Best regards  

Community,there is always a Unified UoM when you are browsing Inventory in stock. what it is used for and how to use it? anybody has any exposure to this ? 

Hi,have you any idea how to create Outside Operation Costs for all Parts after creating new Cost Set in IFS Cloud? There could be found the solution using Data Migration but maybe some solution exists in application?Best regardsDaniel

We are looking to start the transition to Aurena however we are having issues with Crystal Reports,In EE we have custom right mouse buttons that open a Crystal Report and take a field from the page and input it into the report, e.g. when a user has a Shop Order on screen they can right click, select the custom right mouse button for Shop Order Summary and this will open the Shop Order Summary report and pass the Shop Order number from the page to the report,Is this possible in Aurena? I can create a Command Group to ExecuteQuickReport and select Crystal Report as the report type however I am unable to map parameters from the page to the report We are using IFS Apps 10 UPD 19 - If this is not available in IFS, is it planned to be released to IFS?

mass aurthorization is possible in ifs cloud 

In Sum Query the Cancelled Operations Duration not showing as a negative value.  Eg - Time clocked 71.50 Transaction LABOR_IND71.50 UNLAB_IND Transaction to cancel reporting of Indirect Labour TimeWhen I sum the Indirect Hours it is adding 2 x 71.50 , not +71.50 and -71.50 

Hi,We are now facing a blocking error that we are not able to solve.During creation of a new Master Part/Inventory Part/Revision etc … the error “Assignment of an invalid value or value type has occured in Part Catalog” is constantly poping.Did you ever face the same problem and maybe know how to solve it ?RegardsNicolas  

Hi Community,  Has anyone seen this Error message beforeA couple of things to note that is not as obvious from this error. The customer is not using tracked structures on any part, this has been checked. This error message is off the back of a RMB in header, Unissue All to original location. this also happens on the Manual processes. Please note the SO has nothing reported on ops and has nothing received in. This order was previously Parked. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.   

what is the easiest way to determine how many shop orders are attached to the product structure? I am looking for a way to see how many shop orders are needed when an existing product is planned to build.

Hello, We use the  putaway zone to prioritize reservations on parts and since this implementation, we have realized that the operation closing with the APPROVE OPERATION button (shopfloor workbench) took ten times longer to execute correctly.After analysis, we saw that the procedure relies on the putaway ranking for each item line in the shop order.  INSERT INTO INVENT_PART_BIN_RANKING_TMP ( CONTRACT, PART_NO, WAREHOUSE_ID,   BAY_ID, TIER_ID, ROW_ID, BIN_ID, RANKING, HANDL_UNIT_RESERVATION_RANKING ) VALUES …… The solution is to delete the storage zone ranking ..but the priority between storage zones no longer work.Can you tell us if there is another solution to prioritize the stock of a part between several storage zone ?  Thanks in advance. Regards.
