Not sure if anyone else has seen this issue. Using Cloud but behaviour is the same in Apps 9/10.I have a purchased part, with a buildable purchase product structure. I want to send the components to the supplier using supplier material.I am trying to get the system to only reserve the supplier material from a supplier’s location, not from a main warehouse stock location, as the part will be ordered and drop-shipped to the supplier. I want the application to raise a purch req if there’s no stock in the supplier’s location.But even though the inventory part is set to reserve & issue only from specified locations and the location is entered on the buildable purchase product structure for that component line, it still allows me to reserve the supplier material from the main warehouse stock location.The purchase product structure is buildable because I want MRP to plan the material, which will be issued to the supplier using supplier material on the purchase order line. But it allows me

Hello, When we unissue component material from a shop order we do not want to unissue back to the original location. Instead we ask the production associates to unissue to a location under a specific location group and the Location to Unissue page. I would like to create a custom event to validate that the user is selecting the appropriate location group when unissuing from shop order but I cannot seem to find the correct logical unit to use. Any ideas?

Does IFS allow for phantom functionality for production recording? What a phantom should allow is to record the FG in in one UOM (drum) but backflush through the immediate component to the next level lower in the BOM in another UOM. I’ve seen this in other ERP system, but sure in IFS. 

 We are using APPS10 UPD14When in the screen Move Inventory Part, we query for a site and the details lines don’t match what is in the header.  See below:Query for Part and Site (37):     Header is correct (Site 37) however, the table rows below display Site 37 AND Site 15, it should only show Site 37.

We are exploring the feasibility of enabling direct time registration on the shop order screen, even when the shop floor workbench is not in use.This capability is currently present for work orders, allowing time registration on work assignments, which subsequently appears on the time registration screen.

Hello,I am attempting to use a Manufacturing Control Plan to allow an associate to record a Part Number etching on a part we produce. However, the part make contain alphabet and numerical i.e. - 12345ACRev2. Essentially, I would like to have the employee record the part number that was etched in a control plan analysis and have that checked against the value on the CP. I was using variable and setting the outer min, nominal, and outer max to the part number. This was working. However, it does not appear to accept letters. I am hoping there is another way to achieve this in IFS (IFS Apps 10 UDP 15). Any guidance would be appreciated. 

Hello community,There is a way in IFS (module or process) to calculate the qty of pallets that we need to prepare an order?Thanks and best regards, 

Hello, IFS10 community.I am trying to connect to IFS10 server oracle database to retrieve information from Power BI.I didn’t have any problem with other SQL queries but for another I can’t retrieve any information. It says table is empty, but when I run the query in SQL Query tool information is in the that table.Do any person have any suggestion where problem can be?Thank you.

Hi Team,I have transferred an updated EPR Structure to a Manufacturing Structure and set it to Plannable as I always do, but for some strange reason MRP is failing to plan for the child parts. There is significant forecast demand that is appropriately driving demand for other parts in the same parent structure.Is anyone familiar with this error we are seeing when trying to create a Prototype Shop Order?Any thoughts would be appreciated.Thanks,Wade

Where can I find the work factor? I am having an issue with my Variable by Hour and it shows 100.03 I know this is not correct. what is used to determine the Variable by Hour?

Hi,I would like to know how can I find warnings and error messages in IFS Cloud.The main thing for me is to create a blocking [red] message. It must check if Planned Delivery Date is in the Past and block the possibility to continue.Something like below replace the Yes/No function by a pop up red blocking warningsRegardsNicolas  

We would like to control the ‘Detach’ option in Document Management. The requirement would be specifically to have few users with the ‘Detach’ capability for specific Document Classes and have the rest of the users in ‘View’ access. Further, we would like to control this by window level. We only need the capability of controlling the ‘Detach’ option in the Shop Order window and it should work as expected in other windows.  When I tried the Access levels in Document Basics it overrides from somewhere. I created a Group with all the users and given access level as ‘View’ for the specific Document Class. Then I included the special person IDs into the Document Class with ‘Admin’ access. This did not work.  Then I tried to remove the following permission from the allocated permission sets. DOC_REFERENCE_OBJECT_API.RemoveStill I could see the Detach RMB option for the user and the user is able to remove the document from the shop order window.  What would be the approach to have this config

Hello.On the shop floor workbench screen (URL = ifsapf:frmDispatchList), we would like to understand how privileges work to manage the access to this menu :Material Review board → create Thanks

Community,is it possbile to see who make changes the status of the current product structure? I don’t see the IFS History log has this info. correct me if I was wrong. Thank you.

Apps 10 UPD 18 Currently we manually( via IFS partner integration) receive shop orders, both to handling units and to loose stock. We are utilizing the API Shop_Ord_API.Receive_Part__. In using shop floor work bench, the users start and stop production, and approve operations(labor/machine time and qty).We want to change this to auto report Qty. Steps we’ve taken:Changed the flag on receive part - Auto Report Operation to True. On the work center - set the Auto Report Labor/Machine time with qty to Never. Allow Over reporting on inventory part-Manufacturing.The qty is correctly reporting to the operation for each shop order receipt. However, if we over produce(go over the Lot Size) the operation clocking gets stopped, and the time is reported.  Again - it works perfect until we hit our lot size, which we do more often than not. Surely there must be a setting we’re missing to never report time on shop order receipt and to allow the clockings to continue until manually stopped. Thanks!

Hi allNow I'm considering how we can define the default value of “supply code” per inventory part (or part?)  on project deliverables.Ideally, when the configuration is copied, the supply code should be entered according to the default values in the materials requirement of the project deliverables.Please tell me about the parameters and operations that should be set.Regards

HelloPlease help to check why the zero in front of the decimal point does not show up in analysis result, which had been defined in control plan as below snapshot?Any questions please let me know.ThanksSusan  

I am new to IFS (4 weeks) and have been tasked with coming up with a way for our schedulers to be able to plan using drag and drop (I am looking at visual planning) as well as plan with a single line of the route (we currently have up to 4 operations).  Is there a way in IFS to group the operations together for planning while leaving the 4 separate operations intact for the rest of the organization? Right now we are on the path of creating a ‘dummy’ work center that would represent the full time on the machine.  This is failing because when I set the operation to the bottom of the route (operation 50), it doesn’t start until operation 30 is complete.  I need it to start at the same time as operation 10 and complete at the same time as operation 40.Is there a way in IFS to make this happen, or what am I missing on the operation set up to make them align?   

I have a raw material (DUP-BATCHCOMP-1) used in multiple finished goods. The Complete Where Used is shown below.When I look at Products Per Component, though, the intermediate level parts DUP-4000-A and DUP-5000-A are listed. Why are these listed as the other three -A parts shown in the tree above are not listed? 

Hello all,I have a question about adding dosage information to the shop order.  As a lab technician, I create recipes that are being used in production. The dosage information is now stored in a separate excel file, just for the operators. I would like to add this info to the shop order. Is there a field in the inventory part or recipe structure that can be used for this data and that can be shown on the shop order?Thnx in advance.

We have customer owned equipment that is used in a manufacturing processes and we need to track which shop orders & lots that this piece of equipment was used in. This piece of equipment in not consumed as part of the manufacturing process and can be reused.  The piece of equipment can be either lot tracked or serial number tracked.All of the processes that we’ve tried so far seem rather convoluted. Any brilliant thoughts on how to solve for this scenario? 

When we go to approve an operation, the receive location no is prepopulated. I’m sure this was setup by one of my predecessors. How can I change what is prepopulated in this field?  

Hi.I would like to know if it’s possible to manage Safety Stock for inventory parts managed via DOP (IFS 10).I’ve tried it configuring the safety stock in Planning Data tab (Inventory Part window) but the MRP doesn’t have in account it to generate the requirements.If it is not possible via Safety Stock, Do I have another alternative?
