Hi all,I am trying to setup master scheduling in IFS Cloud and I want to define the planning time fence (PTF) based on the cumulative lead time calculations of IFS. The PTF is entered as work days in the master scheduled part.When I checked the cumulative lead time calculation results of different bom levels, I realized that IFS mixes up the different lead times for manufactured and purchased parts.Example Bom:Manuf. Part A (Lead time = 50 -> work days based on our calendar) Purchased Part B (Lead time = 14 -> calendar days) The result will be a cumulative lead time of 64 days. This result is neither correct for work days, nor for calendar days. How is everyone else handling this problem?Thank you

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?

I know we can get variances by cost bucket for the shop order as a whole but how can we determine estimated to actual variances by material line and operation. I cannot seem to find a standard report to provide this, In the past, i suggested that a report or query be developed using shop order material history shop order operations  history and shop order labor history to gather the actual costs and line them to the shop order material records and operations to get the estimated times and quantities required. Does anyone have any other options for performance reporting on shop orders? 

For reasons we do not understand, we have a shipment that appears in IFS as not shipped. But it has physically been shipped (not in IFS), invoiced (in IFS) and paid (in IFS).Now we have 422 parts left in the “Inventory Parts in Shipment Inventory”, all linked to shipment 94! Shipment 94 is a consolidation 21 different customer orders all meant for the same customer in one huge shipment.First thought was to simply scrap the parts for each line of the “Inventory Parts in Shipment Inventory” that should no longer be there but we get the following error message: If we try to return the part in inventory (we could then do a cycle count to 0): we get this error message:We Make-to-Order but we should at least have the one part that is supposedly still at our shipment location!What can we do to get those parts out of “Inventory Parts in Shipment Inventory”? 

We use the Time Clock and the Shop Floor workbench in IFS.  Our operators clock in on the Time Clock and then clock into and out of jobs on the shop floor workbench.Sometimes the operator is clocked into a job for several hours but the Duration is reported as zero.  What can cause this?  

Dear Community,The screen “tool usage report” (IFS Cloud 23.2.2) analyzes the tool instances usage reported only when performing a shop order operation. I thought that this screen listed all the usage even in an analysis result 😕So, I would like to know if there is an other screen or a way to identify the tool instances used in the quality analysis as this information is stored in the data point inspection results. Thanks for your helpCarole 

Hello, I am hoping to clarify something with regard to Phantom part settings. If you use the Phantom Planning Method or set the part on a product structure to Phantom Consume, that means the part with backflush components of the part if none are in stock, correct? As an example Sub Component 123 is made of parts 321 and 456. If you set PN 123 to Phantom or Phantom Consume on the product structure of the part it goes into, if you have nothing in stock of 123, it will backflush 321 and 456 if they are in stock?will IPAP continue to show demand for part 123? I am seeing that it does in both instances (Phantom and Phantom Consume settings).Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Using IFS Ver 10 Update 14 - I need some tips on how to get better at managing and seeing shortages. Quantity Short populates only when a part is reserved with the insufficient quantity available to support the reservation populating the shortage field.  This shortage quantity will remain there until the part is re-reserved at a later date with the appropriate Quantity Available - shouldn’t shortages automatic as parts arrive, or become pegged?  I find many instances where will add parts to a BOM, but do not proactively reserve it because we’ll see 0 available, and expect MRP to take over to work the demand/ populate the shortage.  We may consider it a shortage, though IFS doesn’t - and if MRP drives the demand, it won’t carry back any dates to get that visibility in the task materials via PR/ PO fields - shouldn’t this be a core behaviour to establish relationships between task and MRP demand - if not is there a best way to connect MRP driven PR/PO information back to a task so end us

we have  an error when editing shop floor clockings.We are trying to change start or stop time with chinese users , but the error message is “can not be a future date. no error with the exact same dates with english users. 

Hi ExpertsSeeking your inputs on the below DOP challenges.Currently DOP doesn’t allow to create a Request for Quotation from the generated PR’s, this block the Quotation Process. 1A. What is the reason for this ? 1B. What is the alternative to create a RFQ within DOP. DOP Netting Has 3 Different Options, Inventory , Dop Sourced and Invontory Sourced. 2A. In What sequence the Reservation takes place when all the 3 are Enabled. 2B. Do we have any set up to change the sequence of Netting when all the 3 are enabled.You input will greatly helps.Thanks ! RegardsLokesh

Is it possible to check my entire production output quantity in the inspection plan with data type Categorical? In other words, to have an entry for each piece in my shop order that I can set to ok or not ok? Same as in the data type Variable?   

How would you apply an emergency license code for Apps 10 please once locked out as license has expired?

Hi IFS Community,does anyone have experience of creating a new WADACO process to receive Production Schedule Line?If possible, could you briefly share your experience with the implementation or configuration of the Cloud?Alternatively, if this is not possible for some reason, then another way to receive PS using a scanner?Big thanks, David

I've been trying to use asset design and project functionalities to create structures that can later be converted into equipment structures for maintenance purposes.The business case is a company that needs to have default equipment structures that serve as template without referencing particular serial parts, and, that unlike serial of funtional structures, can be easily copied with all of their components. I've been trying to understand which steps are needed to create design object structure and later convert it to an equipment structure. Does someone know what I could be missing?

Hello,According to the documentation, the default value option “Adjust for Op Deviation Qty” is inherited from the manufactured inventory part when shop orders are created. It works fine when a shop order is created automatically from Requisition or customer order, the option default selection on shop order match the selection on the inventory part.But when creating a shop order manually for manufactured inventory part, the option “Adjust for Op Deviation Qty” is enabled by default, even when the option is disabled on the manufactured Inventory part.   Is there a way to disable this option by default for shop orders created manually?Thanks in advance for your help.

When users tries to approve shop order in shop floor workbench an error pop up.“The date applied of the transaction cannot be a future date” Note- The error then resolves itself, occur generally in month-end

  Hi, Does anyone know if recent versions of Cloud support the multi drag and drop of operations in the manufacturing Visualizer?  In DOP and/or project manufacturing, all shop orders connected often need to be rescheduled as a whole. In APB, you can simply drag and drop the DOP or project and everything moves along. Is a similar option available in the Visualizer?   

I wondered if anyone knew of any functionality that would help the following scenario: I have a recipe structure made of components A, B & C. With a weight share (all UoM kg) of 40%, 30% & 30% respectively. Practical Process: “A” comes in from a supplier on a trailer and a delivery can vary in weight +/- 10%. The batch of finished good is created by weighing the delivered quantity of A and then auto dosing the quantity of B & C to match. Currently “A” is issued to the Shop Order then a calculation done outside of IFS to determine the finish good qty to receive. this is received and B & C are backflushed. Is there any functionality in IFS to do the receipt quantity based off the recipe structure and issued quantity of A? I.e. so we could remove the outside calculation?

Hi All,As a part of data migration, I’m looking for an API to perform “Get Latest Vule” and then “Apply” as it’s done on the screen “Edit Configuration - Customer Order” Anyone did that ?   Thanks,

Does anyone know of a way to upload a list of parts to a configuration structure (instead of entering the parts line by line)? This could be a copy from IFS directly or uploaded from a list (.txt, .xlsx, etc.). Configuration Structure: Add list of components?? 

Hi All, when issuing for shop order it offers the option to select the parent part qty. Anyone aware of the way to unissue by parent qty? Thanks.  

Hello,My customer has several business bases where users require to monitor some changes made on some tables. (Design office : keep track DOP structure & routing modifications for example).I know that table tracking can be enabled with Hisoty log configuration screen.However, to see every users’ modifications there is a need to have the Administrator privilege enabled, even if we use quick reports or lobby elements to display the log data.==> What does granting this privilege to a “normal” (Design office, quality manager, Operations manager, ...) end-user mean in terms of system behavior and accesses ?==> I saw in a diferent post that IAL could be used as a workaround : is it still meant to be deprecated ?System : IFS Cloud Aurena 22R2

Any idea on how to estimate transport emissions associated with part in eco-footprint functionality. “The amount of substance emitted per one unit of distance and one unit of weight during transportation, in substance unit of measure can be assigned to each ship via in Transport Emissions window. But, when different amounts of parts are transported in different deliveries, how emissions per part can be estimated?

I tried to cancel or delete Purchase Requisition line related to work order, But I couldn't because of the following error message. Can anyone help me solve this? I would appreciate it if you could.Thank You
