Could you please give me some examples of Shop Order Priority Categories values?

Hi, what date uses the system from the warehouse when a material is reserveing (automatically) in production order ( like below) ? System to reservation uses the FIFO method - right ?  

Hi Community,We are seeking your insight to address the following questions raised by one of our IFS customers regarding the "Modify Date Applied" feature available within the 'Inventory Transactions History Screen'.Could you please explain the design concept behind "Modify Date Applied" feature? Since the purpose of ‘Modify Date Applied’ is to move transactions from one financial period to another without changing the values in the postings, what is the significance behind changing the financial period?Following is the customer’s business requirement:Customer has a different effective cost in March compared to that of April. For a specific transaction registered in the system in April, customer expects to view the cost values in the postings in ‘Inventory Transactions History Screen’ in corresponding to March accounting period. Does IFS have this functionality?Thank you,Manthila Perera

Good Afternoon, We are a medical manufacturer using Apps 10 EE, We are looking for an effective way to trace product information based on their packaging hierarchy, for a customer order.For example, we are wanting to be able to pack in the format below: ----Pallet 1: ---Box 1:--60x Product A – LOT 010203 – Manufactured Date 08/04/2024 – Expiry Date 08/04/2025--85x Product A – LOT 014203 – Manufactured Date 11/04/2024 – Expiry Date 11/04/2025--74x Product B – LOT 014203 – Manufactured Date 11/04/2024 – Expiry Date 11/04/2025---Box 2--21x Product A – LOT 010203 – Manufactured Date 08/04/2024 – Expiry Date 08/04/2025--74x Product C – LOT 014783 – Manufactured Date 01/03/2024 – Expiry Date 01/03/2025--11x Product B – LOT 018503 – Manufactured Date 11/02/2024 – Expiry Date 11/02/2025 ----Pallet 2: ---Box 1--54x Product D – LOT 010203 – Manufactured Date 08/04/2024 – Expiry Date 08/04/2025--41x Product A – LOT 014203 – Manufactured Date 11/04/2024 – Expiry Date 11/04/2025--10x Product

Hi Community,Could someone advise what generates ‘Positive/ Negative Difference of Calculation’ record in Inventory Transaction History window? Thank you,Nimesha 

as attachment, does any body know why shop order cost estimated material less than shop order material? in shop order material tab, there are 9 materials. but in shop order cost,estimate detail only have 5 materials. where can setup to make all of the material in estimate detail?

Community, Does any know aware that in IFS any shop order cost variance report that could be downloaded to Excel ? the screenshot below, the value ‘Calc Variance’ is the data we interested for each shop order. 

How could I setup IFS Cloud in such a way that in a routing with 5 operations the sequence is: 

Hi!We have problem to get a proper sorting (order by) on the X-axis in Lobby element Bar Chart.In our case we transform a date value to the string for start of the week, using to_char(TRUNC(&AO.Shipment_API.Get_Actual_Ship_Date(shipment_id),'D'),'MM/DD/YYYY') , for example 05/28/2023, 05/15/2023 etc.We are using above string format to get the order for the data.  I have also tried using year + week number and truncated date.  When I get to the lobby element I check the data source to use the data source order, but it keeps ordering by the y-axis amount.  I am doing a horizontal bar chart and get least to most from the Y-axis.  Bar ChartSo then my dates are in the X-axis are in the wrong order….??I saw there was a question exactly like this one from 3 years ago, but it did not have a solution.  It was closed so couldn’t reply there.  It looks like others are having this same problem.  Is there anyone who knows a solution for this, or is this some kind of limitation in the Bar Chart?

Hi All, Is there a method to exclude unused Workcenter Resources from the Gantt chart in production planning? Despite work centers being hidden or deactivated, their names continue to appear on the chart. These centers no longer have capacity and there's no necessity for their visibility in this context. Many Thanks,Alex

The trip tracker App is not working for a normal user, it is only working with the Owner or an HR ADM. Anyone have an idea what it could be? I'm using IFS V10

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 ?    If manufacturing is later than original DO receipt date, then DO date is updated correctly.. 

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 that sort of misses the point.

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 is a Major issues since it misrepresents the inventory valuation. I have used a script and run an “All Levels Part C

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?
