Hi All,Apps 10 - UPD14Does anybody know of a way to hide ‘other employees’ shop floor clocking's from being visible in the Shop Floor Workbench ‘Clocking’ tab?Currently, when a workshop operator views the ‘Clocking’ tab on the Shop Floor Workbench, they can see all other users clocking's. Any help / assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

Dear allI’m not sure who knows how to get a specific product general cost with the real cost, because currently we have so many cost price in system, which is the right one for the cost, if we want to have a clear cost which with current actual purchase price not with system weighted average priceor you can provide me all the different way to get the cost from system, i can analysis each way to find the one which i need. thank you in advance.standard price weighted average price average purchase price estimated cost

Hi, I wounder if anyone knows how the weighted  average is calculated? Is the time calculated since we implemented IFS? Or what timeframe is used? If it´s added manually where is it done?

Community, We have a scheduled datatask that will atuomatilly release shop order. by default, system always use “*” in production structure. what if we would like system auto pick the Alternate other than “*”, e.g. “1”, how we make this happen?Anyone know how can share your experience?Thank you.

Hi Community,I was wondering if anyone had any clever thoughts on how to somehow “link” Inventory Parts that are moulded in a family tool and always need to be ordered together even when part quantities become misaligned and MRP suggests ordering one before the other.Interested to hear your thoughts :)Cheers,Wade

Hi all, We are having some issues with part revisions and I can’t figure out the best way to tackle them. A little background on how we are using the software first (We are on IFS Cloud 22r2): We are using the engineering part navigator to build out the components that an assembly is comprised of. Once the assembly is complete, we use the Engineering Revision Transfer Actions page to transfer the assembly and its components. We use the ‘all level transfer’ so the entire product structure is transferred, including any new parts that were created for that assembly. We also have Remote Warehouse Assortments setup for service vans so they can be replenished with items when necessary. The items are moved from our main warehouse to the remote warehouses via a transport task created by a scheduled database task, Refill All Putaway Zones. The all-level part transfer causes an issue wit

Is it possible to put multiple parameters in for a lobby element like this?  

We are using IFS Cloud 22R2I’m trying to set a GTIN for a part as default. But there is no possibilty without selecting “Used For Identification”. Is there a way to change it like ;Used For identification : NoDefault :Yes 

Hello everybody,is it possible to create a new unit of measure in IFS?Unfortunately, I get an error message. 

Hi All, The following has been observed in a customer env (UPD 14). -> Navigate to MS level 1 part  > query for a certain part-> ‘Register Forecast’ tab: There are forecasts which exists for the 1st of Nov and Dec of 2023 as 100 and 200-> Navigate to import demand planning forecasts dialog > enter the part and change the time frame from 1/1/2024 to 17/10/2024 -> Leave the rest unchanged > OK -> Come back and refresh the page, the existing data for 2023 of Register Forecast tab are also changed.  Any idea on what could be causing this? Best regards,Devni

When I create the persistent field as a date format I am not given the option to add a default value, is there a reason for this ?  

Hi, 22R2 and onwards brings the MSO feature, to replace APB in the end. A major drawback of APB was the lacking integration with HR. Employee schedules and rules are not used for APB, which means that hollidays for example are not taken into account for the capacity calculation of a certain labour class. Is this resolved with MSO? Practical example:We have labour class “Welders”. The labour class consists of 2 persons, Person A and Person B,, each working 8h/days 5 days/week. That means, we have a capacity of 16h/workday in the labour class Welders.Person B will go on leave in week 43. This is entered in IFS, in the HR module. However, APB will not see this drop in capacity. In week 43, you will still have 16h/day capacity for labour class welders, while in reality you will only have 8h.Will MSO be able to solve the issue?

Hi Guys,  I have a question in relation on how to be able to include a BOM if another BOM isn't included. I am currently working to fix our IFS machine configurator.Is it possible to add a rule for this? - even though is only possible to add a AND // OR in the “LOG op” condition  Thanks in advance 🙌 Kind regards Nikolaj Pelle from GM in Denmark. 

Hi, Anyone ever encountered the same case with me? When I applied control plan template to a control plan, acceptance sampling detail on header and line were copied incomplete. Where Acceptance Sampling, AQL, Inspection Level and other details. I tried to reproduce with different scenarios, the result always the same.Was it happened to IEE as well?Control Plan Template with Setting of Acceptance Sampling for Attribute and VariableAcceptance Sampling of applied template ID did not copied properly (incomplete) to Control Plan

A cycle count was mistakenly generated in Apps 10, now all cycle counting displays the message “counting result rejected approval needed”. Is there a way to cancel all cycle counting and clear this out?

What is the difference between the purchase_receipt and dme_purchase_receipt either API or TAB? We recently installed DME in our APP9 version and are having issues with receiving some type 6 POs. In register PO arrivals screen, Error Message: Field [RECEIPT_NO] is mandatory for Dme Purchase Receipt and requires a value. Receipt No is assigned by IFS at the time of receipt so we cannot receive some PO’s but the majority are received with no error. 

Hi,Please refer the test plan below (attached with screenshots) and Advise.This was observed in 23R1.Create a Product structure with a manufactured part consisting of two or more purchase parts.Create an operation for the manufactured part under routing and link the two purchase parts for the operation  Create a shop order for the part and release the shop order Go to shop floor workbench and attempt to issue materials for the operation in the relevant shop order Notice that the system only allows the user to issue only one material at a time.  If the user needs to issue the other material to the operation, they have to start over from the beginning as there is no option to select multiple materials to be issued at the same time. For an operation with a considerable number of materials this could cause more time to the shop floor workbench user as they have to move b

Hi,Is it possible to give a set of users access to split shop orders while removing access to create new shop orders?My initial idea was to revoke SHOP_ORDER_API.NEW_ database object, but this would prevent them from splitting shop orders too.Any idea how to restrict creation of new shop orders while retaining access to split existing orders? Thanks,Dulshan. 

Hello Community,we have the following question: Company A has recently acquired Company B, and now Company B is to be integrated into the IFS system. In the past, Company B had the flexibility to change bill of material (BOM) positions in production orders when items were not available (e.g., alternative products). Since some assemblies now are produced for A, and have regulatory requirements, it is crucial to prevent parts from being replaced without the knowledge of Company A.Testing it with Control Plan does not recognize such replacements and allows the complete posting of the production order. Even restrictions on allowed BOM changes in Site level do not lead to the desired outcome, as material positions in the Shop Order can still be easily modified.Is there a way to achieve the desired behavior differently? How can Company A be informed or Company B prevented from making changes to material positions in the production orders?Many Thanks,

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?
