Community,any experience on below error message? I am doing manual shop order unissue. 

Hi,We are looking to deploy Timeclock for shop floor reporting. Looking to see if anyone is willing to share what type of equipment they are using for said process.[ what type of readers as well as what cards/badges given to employees] Ideally we would like a USB reader that we can attach to the many Windows workstations already deployed throughout. 

Hi all,I have a situation where we need to be able to issue a minimum of 90% of the material required for the Shop order Lot size and enable Operation reporting and receipt of the full Shop Order Lot size.Simplified Material Check enables us to receive the full lot size even when less than the required material has been issued but does not have an allowance setting.  Any help would be appreciated.ThanksPaul

Hi, From a DOP, we can net into a inventory supplied purchase order. However, only if that order is in a planned or released status. Once it’s confirmed, IFS will not net it. You can manually peg it, but no netting. Is this normal behaviour, or somewhere a setting? It doesn’t sound logical to me why IFS skips confirmed purchase orders in the netting proces?  

Hi Community, We have come across an ‘’issue’’ with inter site orders being raised under the buyers site part Rev A on the PO,  then being sent to the supplier site via MHS and approved by the supplier. This then creates the Customer Order with the sales part line but does not consider the Revision Number (normal behaviour)When using MHS the system will ‘stop’ the incoming order if the sales part number does not exist on the supplier site. My first question is, is there a parameter or setting that prevents a PO to CO conversion if the revision does not exist. In our case, the Engineering part exists as Rev B on buyer site and Rev A on supplier site. Without this being identified and the CO demand being released, the system generates the Supplier Shop Order to produce a Rev A part. This is and can be booked in and shipped off as Rev A against a Customer Order with a connected Purchase Order which stipulates a Rev B Part. When this arrives at the Buyer Site

Hi,I have a question for you. Has anyone encountered this functionality?Where is this in the system? Where can I found more info?

Hello community, 1. When assigning operations to persons as resources in APB, these should further be reflected in SFW when logging in as the employee and when “My assigned Operations” is turned on. For example, I assigned operation no 102-*-*-45 to Alina in APB, but this is not reflected in SFW  - My Assigned Operations:  2.What happens when selecting this in APB? Load Options - Shop Floor Reporting. Thank you,Alina

Hi,we are using IFS10, EE-client. We have an issue, when closed SO must be reopen and it’s connected to CO-line which is ‘Invoiced/closed’.Error message dialog box appears with text: ‘Can not be reopen the shop order. Connected order line status is in state Invoiced/Closed’.Is there any option to reopen SO, execute needed additions and change status back to closed? Thank you in advance!/Timo    

How can I update the default (*) routing from a set of alternates?   For example, I have a new machine which is now the preferred manufacturing route.  The old machine is still in use and is a valid routing, so I won’t retire this routing and up rev.  I’ll create an alternate routing for the new machine at the current rev, but I want to make this my default.   Using IFS V9

We are looking to create a webhook in IFS. We are using SolarWinds Pingdom as a Web application monitoring system so whenever web app is down it generates an alert. Pingdom has capability to send a payload to Webhook with status change details from success to failure. Basically, we are trying to create IFS incident automatically when Pingdom generates an alert. Has anyone done something like this?

Hi all, I can’t seem to figure out how to use the “ProdStructureSet by key”. I get the following error when I try to fill out the BomType using either 'Manufacturing' or IfsApp.ProductStructureHandling.ShopOrdCode'Manufacturing'{"error": {"code": "ODATA_PROVIDER_ERROR","message": "An internal server error occurred. Contact administrator.","details": [{"code": "INVALID_KEY_PROPERTY","message": "The key property 'BomType' is invalid."}]}}Here’s an example of what the url looks likedomain/int/ifsapplications/projection/v1/myproject

Salute, I was working a couple of years with IFS 75 and IFS 10. For failure investigations, Quick Reports, custom attributres, I used to using the SQL Developer. I’m not bad to handle it.Also, to combine it with the debug console, to find the right API and find the function or process. Now the BUTSince November, I work as an IFS Consult for Arcwide. To use my known approach is not more possible.I have installed SQL Developer and am using it to build my scripts. Without access to a database. The buityfier supports me as it only does it nicely if the syntax is correct.I test the scripts in the quick report and than I copy it and adapt it in the customer attribute. Sounds complicated, it is complicated.Today, I got the course Query Designer. Brilliant.  MY QUESTION:Is there a tool lilke Query Designer from IFS to support my work.With API Explorer, I have my problems to find the right infor

Hello, I would like to know how to configure a part based on a color:The requirement is such that if i take color RED specified for part , the cost of the part should be 333.I did the configurations, however on my estimate whenever i chose the color red, the price is set to 0.00.  Do you have an idea please?Thanking you beforehand. BRLakshmi

Hi all,Often when we have created a shop order, we would like to change a work center.That is no problem, when there is no control plan.When there is a control plan, it seems to become a mammoth task, involving new control revision, new alternative/changing rountings, conflicting dates etc.What is best practice on this?  

When the lot size is 100 pcs, but only 5 pcs is received. Shop order is not completely received. When the shop order status is Started in state products: shows Partially received.System is allowing to close the partially received shop order.  But how the state can show completely received.  

I’m trying to use the function Copy Selected rows (1) and Paste Rows (1)to copy only one row from one structure to another but it pastes the entire sub-structure of the part I’m copying.Does anybody know if it’s possible to copy only one row (the selected row) and not the entire structure?Or how to control if it’s only one row or structure that is being copied.(I get the same result when entering the part number manually in the new structure.)  Br, Patrick 

We have a customer order connected to a project and the supply code is DOP. When the DOP headers are created the objects connected to the DOP header are not showing on the project monitoring screen. The cost is hitting the cost element, but stopping at the DOP header level.

I am having a problem with certain shop orders that when Using the infinite scheduler, when I put in an earliest start date, it automatically sets the SO start date to a day earlier than the Earliest start date.  I have not Queue time on any operations and cannot figure out why IFS is doing this,

The employees are able to clock on shop orders that are closed. Is it possible ? If yes what is the logic behind it.

As a day-to-day process, when a drawing is attached to an Engineering Part Revision and the part is Transferred, the attached document follows along to the Purchase Part header and Product Structure header.When a Shop Order is generated for that part, the document again follows along because it is attached to the Product Structure.The examples below. When there is an Outside Process, you RMB on the Operation to be performed in order to create the Purchase Requisition. The Part Number is added ad hoc on the Shop Order. In the example below the Outside Process P/N is 22000886-PROCESS. The question is … is there a way for IFS to automatically attach the drawing that is already atta

Hello,I would be really interested to hear thoughts on the following situation. I’ll use a ready meal process as an analogy.We have a process that creates a product (mash potato), from a blend of potato A (peeled potatoes) & potato B (skin on potatoes) . Both types of potato are bought in as raw material. This blend can be a range of 30%-70% potato A, but varies each time the process is run, as done by eye as exact ratio is not important. Over a year it balances out at ~50% which can be the assumption for costing. The mash potato is then immediately used in 10 different end products. E.g. 250g in 10 different types of ready meal.From a costing point of view, assuming the mash is 50% of each type is ok. However from a planning point of view, we need to work out the best way to handle & consume inventory of Potato A & Potato B, so we can trigger the reorder process. Currently, the material isn’t back flushed or issued,

Community,please, could you explain me how to insert Warranty dates (valid from / valid to) in Serial part of Apps9 ?thanks  

All,The idea of manufacturers adopting more of a more circular economy is not new, we have been discussing it for years (“Every end is a new beginning” - Volvo Remanufacturing (ifs.com))With our latest IFS Cloud 23R2 release, we have added more capabilities to support customers wanting to expand in this area, so I wanted to ask the question as to which of you are either operating a circular economy, or plan to in the next 12 months.Please add your comments below so that as a community we can learn from each other as to how it is affecting you and others.Thanks,Antony

Hi, We have created a lobby element with the SQL query builder. However, we cannot enter an order by here. By default, it sorts by machine number (but we have not set this ourselves) and we want to sort by zip code. How can we solve this?
