Project Gantt Dependencies - "Schedule" overwrites start dates

Have any other users of the system been able to find a work around with Gantt dependencies when using the scheduler? Our PMs are getting frustrated because they spend time linking dependencies together and then the only way the schedule button on the Gantt view aligns and considers those dates is to just push everything back to the earliest start date of the entire project. It’s not workable for them, just wondering if any other customers have a smart work around.

Expiring products based on forecast

Is there a way to get a list of products that will expire before they are used or sold based on the current forecasted demand? We produce fresh food products and juices, both the ingredients and finished goods have relatively short shelf life. We would like to be able to see what items we are long on so that we can take actions to either sell or donate them instead of purging the products. We are on Apps 10 update 5

Reserve Serial No on Shop Order - S/N on any S.O. Reports?

So what is the IFS design for communicating the Shop Order reserved serial numbers to the manufacturing floor (they only use IFS Shop Floor Workbench, no logins?)   We’ve looked at the Shop Order report and the Shop Order Work Instruction report; nothing.  Our actual issue is how do we communicate the Shop Order reserved serial numbers to the outside service operation vendor.  But at this point, that would be a bonus….  Ideas?

Availability control ID tracking

Hello All, I’m hoping there is somewhere in IFS to track this. It was recently discovered that an Availability Control ID was applied to a large group of parts in an inventory location. I have not found a place in IFS where you can view when and who applied the ID. I’ve checked Inventory Transaction History, but I do not see the transaction there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Shop Order Pick List

When I compare APP9 and APP10 there is a difference in shop order picklist. This is good. However, there are customers who use summary report which is not available in APP10. This is important for customer who use same part in product structures multiple times and they can consolidate. Also Line Item number not exist in the detail report. Behavior in APP9:Report consists of 03 pages.Cover Page Detail Page Summary Page (This is not available in APP10)

Refresh Purchase Requisition Part Description

Is there a way to refresh the “Part Description” field to the value that comes in when you first add a part other than changing the part number, and then changing it back?

Phase In/Out Multiple product structures

Hi, We have  products that can have different ratios ( so the iterations are high) of the same components on different days depending on the status of components (rejections, volumes etc).  Our plan is to phase in/out revisions and change the Qty required.  We will however quickly build up the revision count over time on certain products. Is there a better way to do it?  Can you run into problems if the revision number gets too high? Can you re-use a previous revision and update the  phase in/out dates for example? Thanks

Unable to see all the columns in Misc parts & Cursor is too small

When Navigating Project Navigator > one of the activity > demand tab > misc partsI am unable to see all the available columns of it.Even though all the visible columns are on the list unable to see all of them together. it’s having morecursor is at the end of it but it’s having more columns. Also, the cursor is harder to differentiate from the main cursor, it has to be the same as the parent cursor but it’s not.  All of them fall under customization. parent form does not have any issues but the child form does.While searching through noticed the below type of behavior on the client end. these columns do not have any pre-coded values or methods on them, they were hidden from the scratchAppreciate any suggestions to overcome these two issues in this window.

Looking for best practices how to handle data access (sites+roles) on a multi-company-site Installation IFS 10

We have IFS installed in one Site and will start the rollout into other entities soon.On the one hand, we are hesitating to grant access to all employees to all data, new and old sites, but on the other hand is might be useful to have read only access on other sites.Desadvantage of having access to other sites data: may lead to confusion, more results out of a search, but not all within the own site.Advantage: being able to copy data, which might be useful.Another idea would be to add a globally used company and site for masterdata and knowledge exchange.What approach have other IFS 10 customers for this challenge?Thank you for sharing your solution with me.Regards Martina

Start Downtime/Stop Downtime in Shop Floor Workbench

Hi,What is the user case behind the Start Downtime and Stop Downtime functionality in Shop Floor Workbench?If I Start Downtime on an ongoing operation, why only the machine time clocking stop and labor keep on clocking? Why not Stop Production?  Is it wrong practice to use Start Downtime on an ongoing operation, instead of Interrupt the operation?Cheers

Resource Analysis - Individual Loading

I’m trying to build some Power BI reports based on outputs from IFS but am struggling with a few tables.I particularly interested in resource management, forecast loading and capacity vs planned hours.From Resource Management > Analysis > Resource AnalysisI can see good detail by day, week, month etc, with each option showing me the scheduled capacity hours, utilization capacity hours and available capacity hours however when i then look at the Resource Activity Load Detail for that individual the Schedule Capacity Hours and Utilization Hours show as 0  The ‘Use HR Schedule’ is selected and schedule capacity is set as ‘Finite Capacity’ in the Resource Navigator.I don’t understand why the scheduled capacity hours are not showing on the activity load detail view.

Pack multiple parts into 1 handling unit

Hi, assume i picked 5 different parts, for a total of 100 pieces (lets say 20 pieces of each inventory part). All with defined measurement. How can I pack these into a handling units during shipment, with IFS telling me how much Handling units I need? If i now do it, using the packing instruction in shipment or using the ‘pack according to handling unit capacity’, I get 5 handling units with each inventory part in one HU (so 20 pcs/HU). However, i would like that IFS fills the the first HU completely, with a mixture of parts, and than goes the second etc. Is that possible?

Work centre resource

Morning We are using IFS apps 10 and I have been reviewing work centre capacities and have noticed large discrepancies in average capacity and demonstrated capacity but cant understand why?the work centre below is for a welding work centre with an average capacity of 7.15 hr but a demonstrated capacity of 39.6 hr. Available and theoretical capacity are both showing 7.75 hr per day.When reviewing the resource detail the capacity calculation base is set at group with a resource quantity of 5 to reflect the 5 welders working within this work centre (all with the same labour class) and group utilisation at 90% . does any one know the cause of the discrepancy? kind regards Jamie
