My question concerns the correct approach to use Plsqlap_server_api.Post_Outbound_Message in PLSQL code along with IFS Connect Routing Rule. I have been successful in sending a file and email in IFS9 via routing rule, routing address and Connect Sender setup.  As well, all of the IFS Connect element tests I perform are successful in IFS10, sending to a folder and sending an email.The API I wrote, in IFS9 works as expected and is used on a custom menu; sends the file to a folder and sends an email.  I am using the same basic script, changing some of the views due to IFS10 having changed the underlying LU.  I am using Plsqlap_server_api.Post_Outbound_Bizapi_Clob in IFS9.  It appears this procedure is not available in IFS10.  All of the other Plsqlap_Server_API.Post_Outbound_bizapi procedures I have tried error out in various ways or do not find a routing rule.  I am also noticing differences in IFS Connect between IFS9 and IFS10.Any advice or direction woul

In App9-  On Shop Floor Workbench, we have ‘Clocking Note’ field on Start Production, Start Setup and Start Indirect buttonsHow do we get the same field ‘Clocking Note’  visible on Regular Time Clock Screen?. Is it possible ? Thank youDilip

I know we can calculate demonstrated capacity for a single work center. Can demonstrated capacity be calculated for all work centers in a site? We have 100+ work centers and want to be able to compare demonstrated vs average capacity on a weekly basis without having to calculate each work center individually. IFSAPP10Thanks, Eric

In APPS10 When you have set misc demand on project activity, the planned cost (Total cost) is retrieved based on supply option. Seems like, when you have ‘Manufactured’ part,  the cost is derived from cost set 1, but when you have ‘Purchased’ part, is the cost always taken from either Inventory Part cost or if not defined, from estimated cost. Or for purchased also from cost set 1?    

Hi IFS-community, I have a question regarding the metric OEE. We have currently using IFS10, but are moving towards integrating IFS-Cloud later on this year. Under what segment can I find the set-up documentation for OEE and how it works in IFS? More specifically, how it affects the capacity of our work centers. Best RegardsAnders

wondering if there is a quide on creating new quick reports

Hello,Out of all our parts we have many that are “Planned by MS” and many that are “Site MRP”. I have found 4 parts (3 are in the structure of one) which are defined as “Selective MRP”. How would these have been set as “Selective MRP”? Does it result in any difference when MRP is run?Thank you.Regards,Basil

Hello,In the picture I added below, although the shop order was closed before, the work order is opened and becomes "include as demand changed" and "include as supply changed". This is due to why. What is the source of solution for this problem? Can you help me? 

 I am wondering if IFS has functionality for automatically holding specific serials when they fail and are nonconforming on a control plan analysis line? Currently the analysis page shows you when you have a specific serial which is nonconforming, but it does not seem to change the availability of the part and relies on the operator modifying the availability of the correct serial.

How can 'Adjustment Factor Weight' be changed?   Is there a field, somewhere in IFS, where we can change this variable as we see fit?   Thanks,

Hello,  What unit of measure is the Priority Adjustment Factor Weight calculation utilizing? If we have this field set to 100  and the adjustment factor is set to 1000 then how is the the Original date being adjusted (minutes, hours, days)?Original Date + [100 * ( 1 - 1000/ 100 )] or Original Date - 900 what?

Hi,Does anyone know if its possible to add a trendline over a bar chart in App10? If so, how please? 

Hi,I would like to connect an object ID to a Tool/Equipment in Apps10. However,  Help suggested that this is only usable in Apps9. How can I make the connection in Apps10? Thank you!

Hi,For Configuration Characteristic Sales Price Formula you can enter formula as a text and save it.Does anyone know if there are plans to add this capability to Configuration Formula and Sales Rule Formula as well?Best Regards,Grzegorz

Does anyone here use Change Management in IFS Cloud? We are new to IFS and in our current system every new product set up is driven by Change Requests/Change Orders. I can’t seem to find any topics on this site related to Change Management.

I’ve created a Site to site supply chain wherein my parts are CTO PartsWhen I create an Customer Order CTO Configuration goes to the internal Puchase Order but then it goes to the other internal site as Customer Order, the CTO Configuration is gone.  Any reason why?  

Hi, When applying 4 filters, (Site, Status, Finish date and Planner ID) we get a server error.  When we remove the Planner ID filter, the Visual Shop Orders Planning works.  Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!  

Can we have same Batch Balance IDs for different sites?

Hi all,if someone can help in explaining rules system applies in shop order costing and accounting records of stock as some figures are hard to reconcile. We use IFS APP10, run our manufactured products on Standard cost, Cost per lot batch. When we open new item, we would expect that Estimated cost from Shop order cost are used to record receipts of qty on stock prior shop order is closed. However, we see system using quite different numbers some time, and we can not reconcile them to any calculation of the cost. Examples below: Part set up This is cost for same shop order which was reported in two steps. Cost per pcs of 3,67907 is one we would expect to be actual based on set up (machine and labor rates, material cost, etc.)

Hi,What is the best approach to track Cost Break Down for Purchasing and Manufacturing Goods in IFS, without maintaining two parts for the same product?Maintaining two parts is creating problems with Customer Order handling.Thanks 

We are upgrading from IFS7.5 to IFSv10 update 10 and evaluating whether the manufacturing visualizer add-on package is worth it.  We manage shop order operations to even load an infinite schedule using CRP load charts in our current state.  Most of our shop orders are configured, so it drives high volumes of shop order operations to manage.  What benefits (tangible and/or intangible) has your company realized and would you recommend investing in the add-on visualizer?  (For example, efficiency, inventory management, yield, tool optimization, etc.)If you didn’t add on the visualizer, what tools are you using to manage higher volumes of shop order operations to optimize your schedule? 

Hi, What is the purpose served by the data in the tab Sub MS Receipts in MS L1 part?  How are the records created in this tab? the dates doesn’t have intervals either. pls can someone explain ? Thanks in advance !Yashodha 

Hi,We would like to start using manufacturing control plans in our PROD env. The requirement is to have the analysis created every 2 hours for currently produced batch number (as all of our parts are under batch control). The issue is that if we use trigger to run every 2 hours system generates analysis for ALL batch numbers in the same time (not only for the currently produced one) no matter if the batches had been already completed to stock or not. Any suggestion how could we solve it?In help we can read: “Manual - This is not triggered by any existing value in the system, instead it can be used to create custom defined triggering points and connect them to this trigger type”. Do You think that manual should be used in our case? If so – any suggestions how to do it?Best regards,Bernadeta

I am in the process of translating a manufacturing process into IFS and am wondering if there’s a best approach to simplifying the solution. We have a manufacturing process where the manufactured part is both serialised and lot tracked, it starts processing in a lot size of 600, then drops to 200, 20 and eventually individual parts as it moves along the routing. As the part is serialised you have to select each serial individually when performing a shop order split, and as it’s a manually selected slider per-serial it could end up being time consuming. Does anyone have any alternate solutions to speeding up the lot splitting process? We are working Cloud 23R1.

We are transitioning to IFS10 IEE and currently we have users who can select from Material Actions either Manual Issue or Manual Unissue from the shop order in SFWB, Are there a presentation and/or database objects that allows for the Issue/Unissue options that we need to grant? Has this option been changed in IFS10 to the Material tab and the part number selected?Thank you.
