Hi all, I work in a Danish machine company called GM and we have been using IFS for a little over a year now. We are currently working and testing the IFS Configurator, to be able to configurate our machines to make it easier for us and our customers. There have been done several tests and our issue right now, is when we make a DOP-order for a machine, the phantom BOM of the machines sub assemblies with the MRP-code “K” isn't visible in the production order. Meaning our production won´t be able to see where all the different parts belong to. We have tried some different things incl. adding a BOM that have a MRP-Code “K”  to the order, which came out as It should. - Also if the BOM is with a MRP-code “P” it will also come out correct, BUT we have run in to problem with the “P” MRP-code, so we don´t want to use that on. My questions is therefore, what can we do to fix the above issue? - we want to use the MRP-Code “K” and we want them to shown in the order when adding a DOP-order in our

Hello everyone,with the page designer, it is possible to add data to a field. In this example, the part description is added to the part number.This is done by adding a VIEW and using the Template address.Where is this template defined?Thanks,Golo  

We have changed the cost template on a phantom part and rolled up the top level part but the cost bucket does not change. When we changed our template we expected only two variable cost buckets, 200 and RAW. However, LABOH which is a fixed-cost has remained. Any ideas on how to remove this?  

Hi everybody,anybody dealed with SigmaNest (or other nesting specialized software) integrated to IFS?Ideally on IFS Cloud (or IFS 10 at least, where is the support of operation blocks). The role of nesting software (SigmaNest ) should be in our case:to provide cutting plans these cutting plans should be transformed to operation blocks in IFS consequently, created operation blocks should be proccessed in standard wayThanks in advance.With kind reagrds,Zdenek Bäumelt  

Is it possible in finitely limited resources to firm/fix up shop orders and or operations so that APB plans around the firmed operations without moving the firmed/fixed ones? And if not, is there a workaround here

We are using IFS 10 UPD9.When the operators create a new MRB the status goes to Created.However, on a least 3 cases the MRB went into status Planned.  We can’t figure out what is making the status be Planned vs Created.Planned doesn’t even seem to be a valid status (doesn’t show in the search options).Can anyone shed some light on why MRBs sometimes create in status Created and sometimes Planned?

Can we make an enumeration field read only in ifs cloud  ?

Hello! We are using: IFS Cloud Web version: 22.2.10.20230705163153.0IFS OData provider version: 22.2.10.20230705114338.0 In a customized Pl/SQL Package we are using approval_routing_api.Notify_Group_Members and approval_routing_api.Notify_Users to generate notifications for specific steps in specific times. It is working fine having the module Inventory Part for example. and the Part_No is included in the email contents. The needed modification is to have the Part Description included as well. Is there any way to have such a customization without touching the IFS Standard Packages?Thank you in advance.  

HI, Does anyone have knowledge regarding Complete Where Used I am looking for a simple return of all top-level parts in our inventory and a clear list of where the single part (e.g., part number 123123) is used within multiple sub-assemblies of several separate top level structures. Bypassing sub assemblies and only returning lists of top level parts.However, I am specifically interested in receiving this information in a tabular format, not as a hierarchical tree structure.

Not sure if anyone else has seen this issue. Using Cloud but behaviour is the same in Apps 9/10.I have a purchased part, with a buildable purchase product structure. I want to send the components to the supplier using supplier material.I am trying to get the system to only reserve the supplier material from a supplier’s location, not from a main warehouse stock location, as the part will be ordered and drop-shipped to the supplier. I want the application to raise a purch req if there’s no stock in the supplier’s location.But even though the inventory part is set to reserve & issue only from specified locations and the location is entered on the buildable purchase product structure for that component line, it still allows me to reserve the supplier material from the main warehouse stock location.The purchase product structure is buildable because I want MRP to plan the material, which will be issued to the supplier using supplier material on the purchase order line. But it allows me

Hello, When we unissue component material from a shop order we do not want to unissue back to the original location. Instead we ask the production associates to unissue to a location under a specific location group and the Location to Unissue page. I would like to create a custom event to validate that the user is selecting the appropriate location group when unissuing from shop order but I cannot seem to find the correct logical unit to use. Any ideas?

Does IFS allow for phantom functionality for production recording? What a phantom should allow is to record the FG in in one UOM (drum) but backflush through the immediate component to the next level lower in the BOM in another UOM. I’ve seen this in other ERP system, but sure in IFS. 

 We are using APPS10 UPD14When in the screen Move Inventory Part, we query for a site and the details lines don’t match what is in the header.  See below:Query for Part and Site (37):     Header is correct (Site 37) however, the table rows below display Site 37 AND Site 15, it should only show Site 37.

We are exploring the feasibility of enabling direct time registration on the shop order screen, even when the shop floor workbench is not in use.This capability is currently present for work orders, allowing time registration on work assignments, which subsequently appears on the time registration screen.

Hello,I am attempting to use a Manufacturing Control Plan to allow an associate to record a Part Number etching on a part we produce. However, the part make contain alphabet and numerical i.e. - 12345ACRev2. Essentially, I would like to have the employee record the part number that was etched in a control plan analysis and have that checked against the value on the CP. I was using variable and setting the outer min, nominal, and outer max to the part number. This was working. However, it does not appear to accept letters. I am hoping there is another way to achieve this in IFS (IFS Apps 10 UDP 15). Any guidance would be appreciated. 

Hello community,There is a way in IFS (module or process) to calculate the qty of pallets that we need to prepare an order?Thanks and best regards, 

Hello, IFS10 community.I am trying to connect to IFS10 server oracle database to retrieve information from Power BI.I didn’t have any problem with other SQL queries but for another I can’t retrieve any information. It says table is empty, but when I run the query in SQL Query tool information is in the that table.Do any person have any suggestion where problem can be?Thank you.

Hi Team,I have transferred an updated EPR Structure to a Manufacturing Structure and set it to Plannable as I always do, but for some strange reason MRP is failing to plan for the child parts. There is significant forecast demand that is appropriately driving demand for other parts in the same parent structure.Is anyone familiar with this error we are seeing when trying to create a Prototype Shop Order?Any thoughts would be appreciated.Thanks,Wade

Where can I find the work factor? I am having an issue with my Variable by Hour and it shows 100.03 I know this is not correct. what is used to determine the Variable by Hour?

Hi,I would like to know how can I find warnings and error messages in IFS Cloud.The main thing for me is to create a blocking [red] message. It must check if Planned Delivery Date is in the Past and block the possibility to continue.Something like below replace the Yes/No function by a pop up red blocking warningsRegardsNicolas  

We would like to control the ‘Detach’ option in Document Management. The requirement would be specifically to have few users with the ‘Detach’ capability for specific Document Classes and have the rest of the users in ‘View’ access. Further, we would like to control this by window level. We only need the capability of controlling the ‘Detach’ option in the Shop Order window and it should work as expected in other windows.  When I tried the Access levels in Document Basics it overrides from somewhere. I created a Group with all the users and given access level as ‘View’ for the specific Document Class. Then I included the special person IDs into the Document Class with ‘Admin’ access. This did not work.  Then I tried to remove the following permission from the allocated permission sets. DOC_REFERENCE_OBJECT_API.RemoveStill I could see the Detach RMB option for the user and the user is able to remove the document from the shop order window.  What would be the approach to have this config

Community,is it possbile to see who make changes the status of the current product structure? I don’t see the IFS History log has this info. correct me if I was wrong. Thank you.

Apps 10 UPD 18 Currently we manually( via IFS partner integration) receive shop orders, both to handling units and to loose stock. We are utilizing the API Shop_Ord_API.Receive_Part__. In using shop floor work bench, the users start and stop production, and approve operations(labor/machine time and qty).We want to change this to auto report Qty. Steps we’ve taken:Changed the flag on receive part - Auto Report Operation to True. On the work center - set the Auto Report Labor/Machine time with qty to Never. Allow Over reporting on inventory part-Manufacturing.The qty is correctly reporting to the operation for each shop order receipt. However, if we over produce(go over the Lot Size) the operation clocking gets stopped, and the time is reported.  Again - it works perfect until we hit our lot size, which we do more often than not. Surely there must be a setting we’re missing to never report time on shop order receipt and to allow the clockings to continue until manually stopped. Thanks!
