Hello,I need an explanation about the Master Scheduling.I have different results between views:Register forecast - On the date of 20/11/2023 - Qty 6 Master ScheduleSupply and demand - On the date of 20/11/2023 - Qty 8 Shop Ord ReqInventory Part Availability planning - On the date of 20/11/2023 - Qty 8 Shop Ord Req The MRP has been running since the last master schedule update.And no data is entered in Rate by Period. Thanks

Hi, we have persons to be scheduled for work orders and shop orders. However, if we take a look at APB, the person allready scheduled for a work order is still 100% available to be planned for shop orders. How can we change this that people who are planned for work orders are not available for shop orders at the same moment?

Customer has a business requirement to make it mandatory for the user to add a checklist/approval process before completion of both MRB line and MRB case. Is there a standard basic data parameter to define this behavior ? Like your feedback and thoughts on the above. Thanks and Regards,Edie

Hi all,Hope you are doing well!We recently upgrade from IFS 8 to IFS 10.We have an issue with the forecast part - historical data window, we migrated the data in periodical transactions table since the beginning.We have been in apps 10 for several months, but we haven’t been successful to run the demand planner because it wasn’t grabbing the data from the new months that were done in apps 10, the forecast part is not reflecting the sales for the new month's even that we have been running the aggregate task each month and following same processes as we were in apps 8.Now all forecast parts in historical demand are showing zeros in some periods after we ran the Aggregate Daily, Qualify Parts and Complete Writeback to Database, even dough we already migrated that info. (Screenshot #1)If we “Create Forecast” in IFS10, DP will consider all zeros in this screen and will give us a super low forecast for the following months, same for all parts. (Screenshot #2)Have you experienced something si

Can someone confirm that running the report “Aggregate Shop Order Costs per Shop Order” has no general ledger impact?  As I understand it, this just recalculates shop order costs that can be queried for analysis.  Thx

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

Hi, How can I dynamically write ids to title in Send to collague? Currently it comes dynamically on some screen. 

How do you move shop orders within a schedule?  We do not use production schedules, but we may need to move shop orders up and down for start/stop dates. Also, how does a shop floor operator know which shop order he/she should be working on next? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  We are using the IFS Cloud.

We have a sceanario where parts have been quarantined and are not usable at this time.  The Inventory Part Availability Planning panel (IPAP) seems to reflect the part quantities correctly. 12 On Hand and 0 Usable and Available.   Our question is in regard to the Inventory Part In Stock panel. We believe that the Available Qty should also reflect 0 since this is the Available Qty number in the IPAP. Are we wrong in our assumption?  

Hello guys, Is there a way to implement a check whether a shop order includes at least one operation before the shop order is released.  Thanks for any ideas!  

Hello,We use ifs app 2004 for our company.We have a problem with the costing in our site (Mx), labor hours load in the system but doesn’t get in the final costing. Material costing is loaded in the shop order but we cannot get any of the labor hours in the costing of the shop order.The labor class is still current with expiration date of 2029.We saw the labor hours are loaded in the shop order, but is shows costing 0 for every iteration of the hours loaded. Part was created as "manufactued", and template costing configured for manufactured.This is a thing only happening in mx site, we did a test for another site (US) and it is showing costing of labor hours right. We don't have an idea of whats going on.I appreciate if anyone can help us.Thank you. 

Hi, Is Unit Code sill available to set as a default in Cloud?In Cloud I am not finding Unit Code in the Defaults screen (Engineering PDM Basic Data).I have looked in both Could 21R1 and 21R2, different customer environments. 

Think nesting. I thought I heard some rumblings somewhere about the development of a shop order on which you can make more than 1 part at a time. I do not mean byproducts or substitute products. Thoughts?

When I create an SPC chart, it seems that the system only considers the measurement result from result number one. Why isn't the average of all result numbers of a data point of an analysis taken into account?  In my view, this should be (100+39+39+39+39+39) / 6 = 49.167 Could anyone please help me resolve this issue or advise me on how to proceed?

Hello,We are trying to add the following lot/batch to a shop order and get the following error message: We are not sure what the message means.  It’s not uncommon that transactions exist for a lot.  Any ideas on what to check would be great!Thanks!

All, I am having trouble understanding how IFS comes up with the average issues over a period. Our periods are set by month. I’m attempting to view the average issues and receipts for period 1 of 2023 (January). IFS indicates I’ve done a qty of 1219 in that period. However, reviewing inventory transaction history, I am only seeing 1170. Is there another location in IFS that also determines issued qtys? The help doesn’t seem to indicate any specific location or even the transactions it considers to be issues (Counts, Shipments, etc.). any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello Community,Currently, the production planning department has a very interesting question.They want to know (and of course see in IFS) how long a shop order will block a certain physical production area.Example: Shop Order 12 occupies all of room B and one-fourth of the production space in room A. The scheduling of the production area is of course also related to other shop orders and can therefore not be assigned to the article in a fixed manner.In other words, another resource that can be assigned to the Shop order and is focused on the shop order start and end dates would be required.My first thoughts were on the work centers. These, however, are less flexible because they are assigned to a operation in routing.The concept to (mis)use machine utilization for this, given that we don't use machine hours, also originated in the department. Do you have any implementation suggestions? Or is there a module we are without? Thanks for your inputs! Best, Lidija

How is the duration of a downtime clocking calculated? Is this determined by the calendar on the Work Center, the Manufacturing Calendar on the Site, or something else? Is the available/theoretical capacity of the Work Center Resource accounted for?

Community, after shop order splitting, the production line no is missing in the splitted shop order. screenshot see below, is this a bug?original shop order qty 3, you can see production line 10split into total 3 ordersyou can see the production line no is missing for split orders 

A developer created this menu “Armony – Insert Project Demand lines”I created the "RU_PILOT" role which gives access to this menu.Then I added the role "RU_PILOTE" in the role "RU_RESP_DE_PROJET_AFFAIRES" and "IFS_ALL".The user who has IFS_ALL sees the menu while the user who has RU_RESP_DE_PROJET_AFFAIRES does not see it and I cannot understand why. 

Estimate Bid Management I have a basic understanding of how this works and that we can create a business opportunity in CRM. I also recall, that in an earlier version, that I could create a sales quotation from the estimate. But for the life of me, I cannot get the same results in the Cloud Test Environment. Any clues? Thanks!

In order to prevent shipping due to a variety of reasons, we may manually block a customer order. Manually blocked orders do not allow pegging or reserving which interrupts the workflow for production and shipping/receiving. We still want to be able to produce the shop order, pegging it to a customer order and reserve the completed lot to the order, just prevent it from shipping.  Is it possible to allow manually blocked customer orders to be pegged and reserved?

Community,I think I have enabled all projections in permission set about Engineering Part & Part Handling, but I still get this error when running Create New Part in below window. May I know where I missed?i can create new engineering part, but if i do from Create New Part button, i got below error.when I select Create New Part button, i got below error. 

Is it possible to add an additional Handling Unit to an existing MRB case? If it exists, I have been unable to find it.Handling unit contains the part number, lot number. 

I have looked at the closed topic on Availability Control but I still am not able to see who changed the part numbers Availability Control ID.Any help? The logging is turned on but I can’t search with the part number or anything. Would like to see who changed it to the current value.Thank you
