Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

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.

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?

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.

Hi All, I noticed when I set the Roll Flag to off on an MS Level 1 part, the safety stock value is no longer considered. I can understand that when I set the Roll Flag off, I’m asking the system not to consider the impact of my planned excess production in the PTF, so MS simply maintains my projected balance at the end of the PTF. This is good for a scenario I have where in combination with rate by period I can get MS to create a pretty fixed & stable production plan. However I noticed if the projected quantity is below the safety stock at the end of the PTF, MS still just works to maintain this quantity, rather than the safety stock. I wanted to check if this is intentional behaviour? My concern is, that if I get a demand spike in the PTF, this won’t be picked up easily… ok yes I should be checking action messages ;) Is there a reason the the logic can’t be ‘maintain whichever is higher, PTF Quantity or Safety Stock’?  

Hi, We are a make-to-order company, we will always see an amount of scrap from production, which is why we manually add 10% to the shop order quantity then the customer has asked for. Is it possible to get IFS automatically to add e.g. 10% more than the customer order is.

We are attempting to implement shop floor workbench and manufacturing control plans for Shop order execution; current state we run a crystal report and technicians fill out the paper copy. We are running into concerns of traceability (what is where, what was done when). We currently have an external serial tracking system we added to IFS, but we are looking into implementing the internal serial number tracking. Is there any shop floor reporting / Manufacturing in process serial number tracking? (ex.: if my executable qty is 4 and i enter 2, I'm required to enter what SNs I am approving through to the next operation)? Or any other “in process” serial tracking features? Workbench or manufacturing control plan specific. Any info helps!

In IFS Cloud I don't get the oppertunity to print attached documents with the Work Insturction Report.The checkbox is missing on the dialog screen. Do we miss some setting somewhere?How can we make it visible?

We currently change the part status to “Suspend” in Inventory Part when Engineering has a change to execute and don’t want planning to be able to release shop orders.Unfortunately, it also blocks MRP from executing for that specific part number and we lose all visibility. Is there another way to block planning or purchasing but still executing MRP? We are in Apps 10 UPD 8.  

HI,Is there an existing window where we can record Propane (Gas) In and Out Quantities without generating GL transactions. Customers’ ultimate requirement is to extract a report and post a compiled GL entry at the end of the period.Many Thanks,Lakna

I have a Custom Logical Unit and I want to add an LOV field to it that displays a list of all employees. I know how to do that; using a custom field I can add a restricted reference that selects from a view.However I need it to be a view that displays all employees but does not require admin privileges.I am using IFS EE 10. Thank you.

We are trying to configure a shop order that allows operation to create asset and consume parts etc and create a cost. We also require to have a subcontractor to come on site and carry out a task. This task will have to link to a PO as the subcontractor will be invoicing for time and materials.I also need to consume a cost for any consumables used for the build by my company. The consumables are not needed to be track just a cost against them what would the best way to achieve this be please
