DOP Netting when the Supply Type is requisition

In a "manufactured" DOP structure, when the "manufactured" DOP structure is released, a Production Order with the status "planned" is created. If a component in the DOP structure is in MRP procurement, the IFS will create a reservation for that component if it is available in stock and the DOP structure is in automatic netting.At the time of the release of the OF, it will reserve the components of the Production Order, taking over the stock reservations that are on the DOP structure.But the reservation rules are not respected. The postponement of this reservation does not use the rules of the reservation that is made manually on the Production Order.How is the reservation (DOP Netting) done on the DOP, and why does it not use the reservation rules like the Production Order? Test steps:- Create a Manufacturing part and a Purchased part- Manufacturing part--> Default supply type= DOP- Purchased part--> Default supply type= Requisition- Go to the Inventory part screen of the purchas

Shop Order Materials - Reserve/Issue Method = Manual

Hello.I have a BOM that containsComponent 1 Reserve/Issue Method = Reserve/backflushComponent 2  Reserve/Issue Method = Manual (Qty Per Ass = 1)Both components are allocated to an operation (Qty Per Ass = 1) I have created a shop order / released the shop order and reserved the shop order. The result is that component 2 is fully reserved.When I try to approve the operation for qty of ‘1’ I receive the following error (expected) I manually issue a qty of ‘1’ of this component and try to approve ‘1’ against the operation again - It works as expected.I try to approve an additional ‘1’ to the operation against (total 2) and it allows me, even though there isn't enough components issued to allow the approved qty - I believe this should error???The application will also allow me to receive the goods into stock. It even allows me to receive the full qty and close the shop order, even though all the materials haven't been issued.I have ran debug at the approve operation stage and simplified ma

customer consignment stock but at a supplier level instead

We've a situation where we want to have raw material at a supplier and also keep track of this. Its sort of a customer consignment stock but at a supplier level instead. In example we want them to keep steel raw material at their site (to guarantee deliveries and because this raw material is quite costly right now)  and when we buy a finished steel products from them the consignment stock would have to be adjusted accordingly. Is there are solution for this in IFS today? If yes, can you guide me in the right direction I 'vent been able to find anything in the online documentation.

Customer Order Handling

Hi Community need advice on the best method/ practise to use to handle customer order that are required to be in stock but not being shipped until the customer is ready to receive them which is current an unknown due to various factors.We still need to manufacture the parts in the sales quantities but as we are unable to ship the products we currently push the date out until the end of the following month. We have been doing this for several months and now have a customer order book which shows demand to manufacture and ship multiple customer order lines at the end of the month which invalidates the accuracy of the customer order book. (see below)We are currently still invoicing monthly to the custom even though we are not shipping the products physically or on the system.is there a better way we can handle this situation so we can ship the products on the system or move them to a holding location until we are ready to physically ship them? regardsJamie

Transfer of material to a new part number

Afternoon, we are using IFS APPs 10 and are creating new parts number for an existing paint system but wanted to know the cleanest way to transfer the existing material on stock from the old part number to the new part number while keeping traceability?the reason for the change in part number is because we need to use a different unit of measure, as we purchase a product in Litres which is sold in KG, convert into Litres and receive the stock, operators have to mix the product by weight (KG) and then issue in Litres. This can become very confusing and cause stock accuracy discrepancies.regardsJamie

Lot batch No as default N/A

Hello Community, We are using IFS 8.Currently we are using the serialized tracking for the parts. I want to convert some of the serial parts to the Lot batch tracking parts.we have to make the Lot tracking process for one site for now.But the issue is If we change the tracking from Serial tracking to Lot tracked parts in master part for all the site that part will become Lot track enabled and while receiving the Purchase order on the other site user they have to provide the Lot batch no mandatorily as asterisk (*) will not allow them to receive.So can we change this asterisk(*) to N/A so that while receiving the PO user for other site user they do not need to type Lot batch no as N/A each time. Your inputs will be helpful.

FMEA

Hi,Some questions about the FMEA module: For the same failure, I can add multiple effects and causes. However, to have a correct RPN score, I want to link a specific cause with a specific effect. Currently, IFS always links the cause with the first effect of the list. How can I link it with the second effect? Is there a way to include/see if a FMEA for a subassembly has allready been done in the final assembly? Example: I have subbassemblies A and B, which I manufacture seperately. I have Product structure for C, which consists of A and B. I would like to see in my structure for C that I allready have a FMEA for A. You can check by going to the structure of A, but if A is used in many other structures that wouldn’t be convenientUsing APP10 Thanks!

PMRP and planning method E

Are there special considerations when setting up PMRP and using parts with planning method E? We are running such a case in Apps 9 and it looks like the unit cost is calculated to 0, resulting in all demand being put together into one lot. It works fine with regular MRP. Since this is an old version, maybe this is a known and corrected bug?

Automatic login to IFS

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to configure the IFS client to automatically login with a supplied user account and password?  Currently, we have around 80 shop floor terminals across our manufacturing facilities. An issue I’ve seen is that in the event of a power outage, all of the SF terminals at the Site must be manually logged back in. I have been able to automate up to the point where I have the PCs automatically login to the Windows environment and launch IFS, but I have not been able to figure out how to pass credentials through and execute the actual login. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

MRP component not planning at all? (check whether structure lot size of parent part points to different alternate)

MRP runs for a site, but the component whose parents/grandparents have demands does not plan (i.e. IPAP screen is blank). Why? Check the component’s parent part. If it has demands, but the component’s IPAP screen is blank, chances are the parent part’s Recipe or Product structure screen has an entry in the Structure Lot size tab pointing to an alternate (which is not *) where this component is not included. If you remove this entry from Structure Lot size for the parent, MRP will plan the component correctly. Other option is to make the component part of the non-* alternate of the parent (if was supposed to be there in the first place).

Block reserve/ issue from specific location/ location group

Hi, we are using apps 10 and would like to know if there is a way to block the reserving and issuing of material from either a specific location, location group or warehouse but still be able to receive parts to those location?couldn't see any check boxes on the Warehouse navigator or inventory locations.The reason for this requirement is we are looking into the shop floor employees issuing there own liquid raw material (paint) after processing a shop order but when using the ‘Manual Issue’ option on the work bench is allows the operator to issue material from all locations including the paint stores which we are trying to stop.regardsJamie
