  Hello, I have an issue where I want to schedule an automatic reorder point request for a specific part in our manufacturing. I have succeeded this in a test environment but can’t seem to get it working in PROD. I may have missed something but cannot figure it out as I do not receive any errors. If I run a replenishment request for the kanban card, everything works fine and a shop order proposal is generated but not with a scheduled task. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is not working?  

Can someone please provide a guideline on how to assign custom field to base profile so all users could see it as default?Thank you.

May I know if it is possible to set up any form of automation for Operation Block or is it always a manual process? How can I create Operation Block?Manually in Manufacturing / Shop Order / Operation / Operation BlockCreate a New Operation BlockNew operation BlockThen define a New Operation Block for a Work Center or Resource Connect an available operationsConnecting Available operationsAnd finally I have any result … = Connected operations

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.

Hi,One of the customers is looking for an option to change decimals up to three points in the quantity fields (refer to the below image) of Shop floor workbench. Can we achieve this functionally? If so, any recommendations?  

Community,I am doing CRO External Repair Order, system create a customer order to deliver the broken parts to external supplier via a customer order.The customer order is released once it is created. Since we are using condition code, the broken part we disassembled from the Customer Owned parent object and receive into stock with condition code ‘UNSERV’. In below screenshot, I am trying to change the condition code on customer order, I got below error.Question:how to handle this scenario? is it a bug? 

Hello, Does anybody know if there is a way to add a component to a product structure with a quantity per batch rather than a quantity per assembly? As far as I know we can only put parts on a structure with a qty per assembly, so this will always be multiplied up by the lot size on any shop orders. We have a scenario where we need to use just 1 piece of a certain component per shop order loaded, regardless of lot size. All I have been able to come up with so far is adding the part on to the product structure with a very small fractional qty per (0.00000001). Since our inventory part UoM in this instance is ‘PCS’, when a shop order is loaded, the allocation is rounded up to 1 - provided the lot size isn’t big enough to make it any more! I just wondered if I was missing anything that would handle this in a better way, and not rely on UoM or lot size to allow it to work?    Many thanks, Steph.

Morning I am using IFS Apps 10 and having an error trying to manually un-issue material from a shop order. When i go to enter the quantity to un-issue i get the error message below stating ‘the quantity of material trying to un-issue is greater that the quantity available on this transaction’ but when checking the inventory part transaction history you can see that the quantity issues to the shop order is equal to the quantity i am trying to un-issue. does anyone know what is causing this error messages and how to get round this?  regards,Jamie 

Hi!Is it possible to hide this option from the Equipment Object Navigator? 

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. 

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. 

Dear Experts,I'm requesting assistance in addressing an issue that our IFS Customer has brought to our attention.Issue : Users don't receive notifications for tasks they assigned to themselves [Tasks related to a specific object Purchase Order, Customer Order, Shipment etc.]* When creating and assigning the task to yourself, there is no notification that appears in the right corner of the screen. *  But when creating and assigning the task to another user notification will be sent to the user. Customer Application and Version: IFS CLOUD 22R2SU5With these observations in mind, I would appreciate your insights on the

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

Hi, can anyone suggest how to link the production schedule date with the production receipt Report Date to identify the difference of schedule vs actual. Is it possible to map the Line_Sched_Receipt_Id with the Production_Receipt_Id?

We have a need to schedule the first operation of a shop order as soon as possible, and secondary operations as late as possible. Is this achievable with advanced planning board?Purpose is to utilize available machine capacity at op 10 and have accurate start dates for raw material planning, but backwards schedule remaining operations so orders are finished as late as possible. Machine work centers (Op 10) are finite and finishing work centers are infinite.  Thanks,Eric IFS App 10

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.

Community,I never successfully can move between sites(either same company or sister company) for Customer Owned stock, even I set it to Customer Owned, system will prompt the error and update it to Company Owned. Any experience to share?I am in APP10, UPD9 Thank you.

Community, Anyone has encountered below error? it is a shop order multilevel repair order. it is trying to disassemble a component from the top parent part. 

Community, I have a product manufactured in Canada, then deliver to sister company Germany, sold to Germany customer.when the product is broken, it is sent back to Germany site, then Germany site dissamble the broken compnent. We are testing utlizing CRO.  Now we comes to a problem that Repair Shop Order created does not load the as-built strcuture so it cannot proceed the repair in Germany site. The as-built structure is created in Canada site. wondering how this could be handled?

I’m trying to set-up our system to use the Kanban Feature in IFS. Is there a Guide or a thorough walk through available to guide me along this journey?

What report can I create to see my monthly scrap rate? I want to be able to see the amount of starting material and what amount was scrapped. 

This warning message appears when trying to make a Product Structure buildable, only appearing for some new Structures not all.  I have tried to recreate warning message in my test environment by adding phantom parts to new Product Structure but won’t work.  

Hello, In a material requisition, the calendar used for the due date is the distribution calendar indicated in the site settings. We don’t understand the logic of using the distribution calendar. We should use the manufacturing one or at least, be able to select the calendar you want to use  Are we the only one to think that ? Do you think that could be an improvement in the future ?  Regards 

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

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.
