Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

We want to receive labels with serial numbers, but we do not want to register these serial numbers during purchase order receipt or keep them in inventory.The label is only used when a second serial number is required for the end product (as a customer-selectable CTO option).If this label is included in the product structure/shop order materials, the system should force serial number registration when the part is backflushed / issued into the tracked structure. With the current part-level serial tracking settings, I cannot find the right solution.Has anyone solved this requirement?

Hi, We are implementing parts of IFS Quality.  We’d like to load our historical Non-Conformance Reports.  currently IFS Cloud doesn’t allow backdated NCRs to be entered.   Short of doing a mod, is there a way to load these?  A data migration job that bypasses field validation? Has anyone done this?

I have a query regarding the Change Order window.There is no field to check the Performed Date and Completed Date for an Engineering Change Order. Below is where the CO Approved Date and Analyzed Date can be checked. We need to know where the Performed Date and Completed Date can be found.Could you please suggest or advise on this issue?  

Hello.I  need a little help about how to set up work centers in IFS, if there is 3 or more persons per one assembly step/area.For example:Step 1 - 3 operators are doing 3 separate assemblies in the same area. After that, all assemblies move simultaneously to the next step. Lets say this is Work Center AStep 2 - 4 or 5 operators are taking previously prepared assemblies and work on them simultaneously also (now its 2 persons for 1 assembly). Lets say this is Work Center BStep 3 - I got 2-3 operators and 12 spots for testing the assemblies. Machine run time is 230 minutes: operators are doing about 40 min per assembly before machine’s independent run time - 180min (meanwhile they can start with other assembly) - and after that, 15 minutes for finishing. Lets say this is Work Center C For planning, which way is

I have a configuration formula that takes input from Characteristics to derive a number.  However some of the characteristics are removed based on sales rules, then then causes those to have a value of NULL - this then makes the formula error. Here is the example of what we face when the formula runs: I’ve glanced through the Function, but I didn’t see a IsNULL and I can’t find a definition for the Function list. 

I am performing some trialing in our test environment and want to simulate work completed over a period of time. Is it possible to manually change the date and time to be able to perform this trialing all at once? 

 I am going into Report Definitions, entering the required information, refreshing the cache, and then accessing my dialog that calls the report. However, when I click 'OK', this error appears. Could anyone please help me?Ifs.Fnd.FndSystemException: Explorer: An Unhandled Exception has occurred ---> Ifs.Fnd.FndSystemException: Unexpected error while calling server method PrintReport/ReportFormatRequest ---> Ifs.Fnd.FndServerFaultException: Serverifs.fnd.base.FndTranslatableText@486e244Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object. No actions were executed.   at Ifs.Fnd.AccessProvider.FndConnection.ParseErrorHeader(FndBuffer buffer, FndManualDecisionCollection decisions)   at Ifs.Fnd.AccessProvider.FndConnection.UnMarshalResponseHeader(Stream responseStream, FndM

 We are utilizing Shop Floor Workbench, and will be issuing material point of use. Is there a way to hide material in specific Location Groups / Location Types from the Manual Issue page based on the person who is issuing material / if they accessed the manual issue page from Shop Floor workbench / something else to hide the available material lines in locations we dont want people issuing from?

Hi,Does anybody know if the way IFS handles Estimate Item  > Required Date for components of BOM’s has changed from Apps10 to Cloud?In Apps 10, when I add an Item Type of PRODUCT (Part with BOM) and enter a Required Date, the subcomponent dates are planned. When I perform the same process in Cloud (24R2), my entered Required Date is populated into all sub-components. They are not planned like Apps10. I cannot find any reference to this functionality changing. Does anybody know if and when it was changed? 

Hi, There is a WO for the Object connected to the Work Center Resource. However, the Maintenance Import job is not creating a Resource Break.  Cloud version Data setup Site enabled for APBScheduling Horizon is 8hrs to 365 days. (Work Task days are within this horizon) Object Connected to the WC Resource WO/and Work Task are both for the same above Object

Hi,Could somebody help me to set up the Cost Source for Posting type M42?I checked the transaction results on the accounting tab of Labor History and found that the journalized row posting type M42 was status 99 due to  not contain the cost source ID. The error description says 'There is no Cord part B value for Posting type 42 Control type C90, Company TS' The following are the set values:

Community, Does anyone know IFS Auto Reservation will consider the part revision?we are on APP10. Thank you.

We are looking at our options deploying the standard Shop Floor Workbench interface in IFS Cloud vs the app version with the command buttons.  I attached an image of the shop floor workbench app.We are going to launch in IFS Cloud 24R1, is there a way to add buttons to this interface?  I’m looking to add shop order analysis capabilities and routing operation work guideline printing capability.

If a repair shop order is created from component repair order is there any way in IFS to attach the shop order material to project inventory supply type? After that we want PMRP job to create demand for those materials. IFS does not seem to have anyway to convert consumed materials to Project Inventory.

My issue is that DOP/Configured parts manufactured costs that have setup time on routings are bouncing around based on quantity lot size.  When the cost changes for a new order of the same configuration, the shop order standard cost is updating with a new standard based on the effective date.  The result of having a standard cost associated with a quantity of 2 being applied to a different order for 672 creates a significant variance for margin calculations.  We use DOP orders for our configured parts, so our planning method is “A”.  Even though they are configured, we manufacture like parts and therefore we want to smooth out setup costs by a fixed std lot size.  I processed an item for a quantity of 1 but have the std. lot size set to 62.  When the DOP and pegged shop orders calculate cost, it is based off of a unit of 1 and not by the 62.  Is there a way to have a different denominator for setup on DOP parts for calculating costs and related standards?

Hello Community,We have a scenario where a Shop Order with a lot size of 100 pcs is scheduled using APB.For Operation 10, all 100 pcs are planned to be completed in 21 hours.Considering an 8-hour workday, the operation 10 would take roughly 3 days to complete.My question is: Where in IFS Cloud can we see the per-day planned quantity for such operations?I am looking for a way to monitor the breakdown (e.g., daily planned output) instead of only seeing the total planned hours or duration for the operation.Any guidance, best practices, or navigation tips would be highly appreciated. ​@Björn Hultgren ​@matt.watters would appreciate your input.

Good day,Is there an option in IFS Cloud to inherit the reserve/issue method in product structures from the inventory part value? Is there an mass update function available for this?

We have used the RMA process to have parts returned from the customer for a long time but would like to consider using CRO because it would allow us to bring the part in as customer owned. When using an RMA there is an RMA document created that can be sent to the customer and is also what is used by receiving to know what to receive that part back in against. I am pretty new to the CRO process, but I do not see what is used to communicate with the customer similar to how an RMA document is used? Am I missing something?

We have encountered that the "Close Operation" option in "Shop Floor Workbench" is only working when performed by User Id: IFSAPP USER However, when same action is attempted using a different user ID, with same permission grants the action is blocked by the system (Error message states user has not been granted with required permissions 

Hello,I am encountering the following error while launching the IFS standard functionality Change Rev Alt via a scheduled task that allows to update the Routing and/or Structure from a chosen DOP order in the DOP structure. I tried to add the resource in the Work Center and relaunch the batch, but I am still encountering the same issue.T tried to launch the function online from the DOP Order, but the structure is too complex and after 10 minutes I encounter an error.Do you have any idea? Thank you!

Hi All, A customer following the Concurrent Engineering process reported an issue when part numbers are changed due to new design updates while the Shop Order is in Started status. The original part is serialized, and during manual receiving, when the source of the receive, part is switched to a substitute, the system shows the error: “Substituting for a Serialized Part not allowed.”This was reproduced in both APP10 Regional Test LKP and IFS Cloud 25R1 Test CMB environments. Upon reviewing the product documentation (Receive Substitute Part page), it is clearly mentioned under the prerequisites that: “The original part should not be a serialized part.”Business Impact:In Ae

Hi All, We are experiencing an issue where we cannot cancel the shop order, which is linked to a customer order. Customer order is in invoiced/closed status. I tried to unpeg the customer order from the shop order, and I’m getting the following error.I tried to replicate the scenario in the test environment, and it was unsuccessful since I can cancel the shop order even after invoicing the customer order line.I found the following article in the community,Greatly appreciate it if you can help me find a solution for this.Thank y

Is there a way to attach multiple parts to a change request at once.  In Apps8 we could copy and paste objects.  Also, is there a way to copy multiple parts to a document at once or multiple documents to a change request..

Hi I was wondering if there was some documentation or suggestions for dealing with First Article Inspection for manufacturing on IFS. I was hoping for something that would help for implementating.Thanks  

Hello, I have noticed that with a defined discrete UoM on a part, you are still able to report and receive into inventory a fraction of a part. I do not understand how this would be possible. Would setting it to a discrete UoM not force you to report whole numbers?Calc Qty Rounding is also set at 0 on the Inventory Part record. Any guidance on understanding how this issue is occurring would be appreciated. Thank you!
