Invalid Change Request Types

We have old Change Request Types that are no longer used or valid for our company, but they’re still tied to old records that we aren’t going to delete. Can functionality be added to the Change Request Types screen similar to every other basic data screen in IFS to be able to set them to hidden or blocked so they don’t show up in our list of values?

Shop Order Requisition Total Component Availability

We use the Shop Order Requisition Release screen to create shop orders. There is a “Comp Qty Req” field within the Component Availability section (that is calculated after using the “Calculation Component Availability” button). This works for us on a per-shop-order-basis. However…Is there a way to see “Comp Qty Req” for multiple Shop Order Reqs at once?  Extra Info: We purchase some required raw material after the orders have been released. We would like to see the total “Comp Qty Req” for the 50+ orders we [plan to] release at a time. Currently we have to look at each requisition and record the “Comp Qty Req” and add them all together.

Copy Part Error

I have a user who is trying to use the Copy Revision function for the Product Structure and Recipe Structure. He enters the new part number and set the revision number to 1, but it gives an error saying that a 2nd revision number doesn't exist. We are aware that it does not exist because it is a new part number. Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, how can I fix this?  We have the work around of using the Duplicate function and copying over the component information, but this user has been able to achieve this the other way (copy revision) for years and for some reason he has been receiving this error the past month or so.

Performance related to Available Qty To Move column on Inventory Part in Stock screen

As the value in the “Available Qty To Move” column on the Inventory Part in Stock screen increases, we are seeing a noticeable performance hit. We have a few inventory parts that regularly get reserved out to thousands of orders. This appears to create a significant performance hit as IFS attempts to sum up the value for the Available Qty To Move. This appears to be populated from Inv_Part_Stock_Reservation_API.Get_Available_Qty_To_Move, and potentially from the Shop_Material_Assign_Res view underneath that. Are there any plans for optimizing or improving the performance related to this field (and the underlying queries it’s making.) We currently have specific part numbers that it is taking 70 seconds to return results for.

Configuration (CTO) using the Action 'SET' with configured parts

Using a Configuration Combination table to return the component part number and this works OK unless the part number that it returns is a Configured Part. The supply code on the Customer order line is DOP and when I add the configured part as a component it works fine, but when I have a ‘place holder’ part as the componet part (ie just a dummy purchased part part), and then I use a configuration combination to ‘SET’ the componet part to a differant part number, it fails when the part is the configured part.  The error message I get is ‘Unable to process due to error action ‘SET’  Component part XX-XXX must not be a configured part.

Hello,Since UPD20 the ‘Object Details…’ RMB menu on the Non-Conformance Report: ‘Connected to’ tab has changed from opening the Shop Order form to Shop Order(s) table. I’ve compared logs from pre UPD20 and it calls the customisation as the first action on the RMB:The RMB after UPD20 appears to ignore any customisations:Is there a way to return the ‘Object Details...’ menu option to the previous way of working?Thanks

Receive shop order - change packing instruction

I have a scenario where we have created a packing instruction which we are assigning to a shop order to handle the receipt element pre-packed into the handling units. However, I have a scenario where I want to change the packing instruction at receipt so that received product gets built using a different packing instruction. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this as the receipt screen from shop order does not let you specify the packing instruction.

Receive from Shop Order to Production Line Location

Hi!Our users have noticed that in their previous version it was fine to receive from a shop order into an inbound location of type Production Line. It looks like it was still the case in the Apps 10 version we have access to, so it seems to have been introduced with the IFS Cloud version. Nowadays only Floor Stock and Picking locations are possible, wich will cause them pretty big changes in routines, since organizing the shop floor into production lines has been a key factor in controlling the reservation of material from the right locations. What motivates this change?/ Kenneth

Batching Shop Orders that use same raw material

Hello, has anyone had to deal with this problem? We have lots of different parts that use the same raw material and are all manufactured using the same machine. To make an efficient process, we would like to “batch” all the shop orders that use a specific component so we can make those parts in one hit. Then “batch” another set of shop orders that use a different raw material and make those. These manufactured parts are then used to make another assembly.OP Blocks doesnt seem to fit this scenario as we are not wanting to batch operations but batch at the shop order level.And because we making a large qty of the parts that use the raw material, we would prefer to book labor at the batch level not on each individual shop order and let IFS apportion the labor across all the shop orders in that batch.Grateful for any comments, etc. Thanks in advance. This is being done in Cloud.
