Electronic Kanban Mixed Batch?

Hi. we are using APPs 10 and have just started using the electronic Kanban replenishment function to replenish our line side stores.however we have came across an small issue of a Kanban replenishment request generating a transportation task for two different batch's of the same material to supply the Kanban demand of 300 ml of Loctite 770. (below)The problem is the inventory is a liquid raw material in a 300 ml container which we are not able to decant.in this example we have set the Kanban circuit Qty to 300ml (same quantity as 1 can of Loctite) thinking it would only fulfil the demand if there is enough stock of the same batch available. is there away setting that creates a rule only inventory with equal or great than on hand stock is used to replenish the Kanban replenishment request?regardsJamie

Missing Operation Number in Production Schedule Material History

Apps10 Update15I have a production schedule part with four routing operations (10, 20, 30, 40).This part is connected to a production line for which I have defined a Progress Point with a Last Operation No = 20.I report production of (5) at the progress point.I report a partial scrap of (2) at the progress point.In Production Schedule Material History, though, I do not see operation 20 in the Operation No column for the Scrap Product WIP or the Issue Material material history actions.Should operation 20 be listed for these? If not, when would one ever see a value in this field?

Bin volume storage does not work

Hello, I am attempting to setup volume storage on Inventory Locations and define qty per volume on Inventory Parts, I have configured two bins with 20 and 25 bin values. My assumption is that the total storage between the two bins would be 45. However, it appears to only be 25 max. With both locations empty, if I attempt to move 20 units (I've setup the part for 1 pc = 1 volume), the system states that I can only put 5 units into F2.I’ve verified this by moving a total of 25 units into the locations. I believe I’m not understanding the setup of this functionality in IFS, and the help does not seem to clarify how exactly this should work. Any guidance on the proper setup would be greatly appreciated.

Print function settings

When trying to print box labels through SFWB it’s trying to do enough labels for all the quantity. Eg. on an 22000 unit order and 324 articles/box, the PDF IFS produces for printing is 70 pages. Another example is workers here expect the PDF format to change automatically based on either the article/box number they enter, or what printer is used for that particular print. So somewhere there are settings for this. It can be circumvented on most machines by manually changing the quantity to print from the pdf to 1 page. But on large orders it will crash.At first I narrowed it down to specific workcenters, but after looking around it almost seems global. If not, it’s wrongly configured on all workcenters. Any ideas where I can start to remedy this? I’m inheriting this issue and quite a novice, so please be patient with me.

Can't make a custom checkbox checkable

Hi, Community I’ve created a custom checkbox, set the enumeration and sycronized it. I’ve added it where its intended to be but I cannot check it. Somehow it is set as a ready only field and I can’t make it different. On Presentation Object I’ve found out that the custom field is set as Read Only by a checkbox that cannot be unchecked. I want to place this checkbox custom field on the Return Material Authorization Lines window, and I thought I could remove the Read Only attribution through the Object Properties dialog box, but for some reason this option is unnavailable.Can someone help me to make it not read only?Thank you!!

'Flexible' routings/ Workcenter

Hi, We want to implement capacity planning for our assembly and testing areas. But we cannot define the best approach. We can set each possible routing as an alternate, however the possibilties are endless. In a simplified version, let’s say we have an Assembly area which consists of 4 places where we can work on our shop order. It doesn’t matter which of the 4 are used, they are 100% identical. Same principle for our testing area: there we have 2 places, identical.But if we define each possibility with a routing, it will be impossible to keep track. Lets say we have 4 operations in our shop order (in reality it will be more): Operation 10 in an assembly area (4 possibilities), operation 20 in a testing area (2 possible), operation 30 in assembly area (4 possible), operation 40 in a testing area (2 possible). For this simplified shop order, you will allready have 4*2*4*2 = 64 different alternates. So that will not work. How can we still plan according to capacity? Can we set our assemb

Accounting transaction error : Code part Project must have a value for line IN Material Requisition

Hello,Do you have an idea concerning the transaction ID accounting error after counting per inventory part (M7 or M184) :=> “Code part Project must have a value for line IN Material Requisition”Indeed, after counting my Standard Inventory part (ID project is null), the accounting transaction linked to the accounting M7 (COUNT-IN) or M184 (COUNT-OUT) are in error because it needs a Project_ID even if it is a Standard Inventory. The generation of accounting transaction is working for Project Inventory because the field Project_id is filled, but when it is the Standard inventory, i have the message error in the field “error description” in the inventory transaction history. It would be helpful if someone in the community can help me. Thanks a lot

Structure revision: autofill of phase-out on previous revision and phase-in on new revision

When we create a new Structure Revision, IFS automaticaly asigns a phase-out date (“yesterday”) to the previous revision, while stamping a phase-in date (“today”) to the new revision. This seems practical but has some drawbacks:The new revision is born as “Tentative”, as we plan to make changes on it. That is why we are making a revision ;-)If the new revision is not finished in the same working day and set to “Buildable”, if it remains as work-in-progress for a while (“Tentative”), and MRP is run meanwhile, the Part we are revising is found to have “Not Buildable” revision. And MRP considers there are no components for that part in the structure and triggers a lot of order cancellations as the materials are no longer required. In my view, a more logical approach would be to set the Phase-out of the previous revision and Phase-in of the current revision when changing the status of the structure revision from Tentative to Buildable. That is, dates are stamped when there is a new revi

How to work with fixed manufacturing lead times?

IFS has a lead time on the Inventory Part, but the moment there is a Shop Order with Operations, this prevails when it comes to lead time calculation. As this might seem logical, it is not. Many companies use fixed lead times per Part and this is now not possible in IFS. Why not have an extra setting on the Inventory Part in which you can choose? And in between should be the option to have fixed/minimum lead time per operation. So in the end we would have a hierarchy:Use fixed lead time per Part Use fixed lead time per OperationIf none of these 2 settings is true, use operation calculated lead time.

Unreserve stock reservations in bulk

Hi All, I have a case, where we need to change the inventory valuation from Standard Cost to FIFO. This requires issuing & re-receiving of all inventory part stocks since the Qty has to be zero to make the change.For issuing we are not able to issue reserved parts & hence this is not straightforward. I would like to know if there is an option to bulk unreserve all quantities on SO Reservations, CO Reservations etc. ?Any option in either IFSAPPS10 or Cloud R1/R2?

Unit of Measure column under Control plan

Hello There, Currently, I am in the SHOP FLOOR WORKBENCH window and trying to approve an operation for a specific lot/batch. Before doing so, I am supposed to enter the inspection results for the Control plan. Within that “enter inspection results” window, there is a field named “Unit of measure” that displays the value. I would like to know, if it is possible to set up “UoM” ?ora window to look at the pre-defined UoM values for a specific operation ? Looking forward to your responses.

Assign Multiple Resources to Shop Order Operation

Is it possible to assign multiple resources to a shop order operation?Example: A Shop order operation is routed to Work Center “X”.Work Center X is made up of machine resources X01, X02, X03, X04. A small order will run on X01 only while a large order will utilize all 4 machines. Can X01,X02,X03, and X04 all be assigned to one shop order operation?An attempt was made to manage it with multiple work centers where X1 represents 1 machine, and X4 represents all 4 machines, but this skews capacity views when a resource is assigned to multiple work centers.
