Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

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?

Community, Wondering what PLM interface that are in IFS already out of box? We are on APP10, Upd 9. Thank you.

Does anyone know how to turn off Automatic Part Number generation when creating a new record in the Engineering Parts window within IFS Aurena (APPS 10)

Does anyone know if when bringing over an email into Business Mail or even from Business Mail to Business Opportunity if you can somehow separate the attachment that was in the email outside of the actual email attachment as well - so it would look something like this The original email and then the Purchase Order or RFQ that was attached inside the email brought out separately as a PDF 

Our current routings use 4 operations, one for each zone of the machine.  Management likes that we can report labor by machine zone using these 4 operations, but the planning team wants a single operation to plan by so they do not have to deal with the noise that 4 operations creates.  How can I meet this objective within IFS?Thank you!Robin 

Transaction Code UNSUBCONTR, Would Like to Know When is this Transaction code Triggered and Used.

Hi All,Currently we are working with company that running in Electronic Industrial use IFS Cloud.They have several production line machine called by Surface Mount Device. A set of machine that working for mounting component on a PCB board. There are some condition with this manufacturing process;We don’t use IOT integration for manufacturing  Manufacturing proposed use Production Schedule/Repetitive Manufacturing Component Inventory UOM in PCS but have catch UOM in Roll/Tape Traceability for material component lot need to be traced for each production line. Common Material component part can be used in multiple production line. But when a specific part Roll/Tape planed for 1 production line. It cannot be used for another production line. Multiple ‘Roll/Tape’ can be used for one Production Line.Does anyone have any experience dealing with this condition?I’m looking for practical solution for this condition.Thanks! -Adi-

Question customer raisedWhen entering or updating Resources in a Project Activity, it will often show a message such as:”The resource xxx has no capacity calculated for the activity period.”Clicking ‘Yes’ will add the record as expected, so not stopping functionality. Why this message appears?  

Hi, I have the following issue. Please assist Issue: When a person is assigned to a Resource ID, that Resource ID should be retrieved when the employee charges time to an activity. In App10 I find that this did not occur. Steps: 1. Open Resource Group and verify that employee is assigned to the resource on the Person tab. 2. Open Project Time Registration screen and search for employee (in the relevant company ) - should retrieve. 3. Add a line on the Week tab for Activity Short Name (eg: CC002.B.20) select a Report Code - notice that Resource ID remains blank. I can select a resource, but none populates. It should populate with the primary resource the employee is assigned to.

Hello, Currently, we are using WADACO to directly issue component material to a Shop Order via Manual Issue Shop Order Part. This has been working well. However, I have noticed that there does not appear to be a command to unissue material in the event a transactional mistake has been made. Looking through the WADACO user guide, I do not see a command that indicates it is possible to do, is this correct?Any guideance would be appreciated. 

Hello,I am looking for a way to export the BOM (structure, components, etc.) from multiple parts into a .csv or .xlsx file. I realize this may require a macro. Reason: I need this list for 1000’s of parts for analytics.The list should have the PN tied to the structure (repeat the part number for each component; see column B)Example:Inputs: List of 1000’s of partsProcess: ???Output: List of 1000’s of parts with corresponding structureSee image for a basic example.Thanks for any help or direction!-Shockwave 

We have an OP part causing issues creating a HAR. There is concern that there's an issue in IFS regarding this part number (#######-###-OP). I don’t believe It should have the -OP appended to it at this point given that parts are inventory. As I understand, the OP is added when parts are sent out for Outside Processing and removed when parts come back from that processing.

Hi, Pictured is the analysis result screen in our old system. In Operation 70(It could have been something else.), when the sample size was 10 and we wanted to enter the results, a different screen opened at the bottom and we entered all the results there. Then it averages and writes it at the top automatically.but in IFS 10 it adds as many rows as the sample size and it doesn't show the results in a single line. Is it possible to do it like the old system? If possible, we would appreciate your help. Thanks,Âdil

How do I update my status in the MultilevelPromotion?

We are in IFS Apps 10 IEE.  I am wondering if there is something that I am missing to clear some of these records.  You see from the example the transactions however not sure why if only 1 location has stock, why are the others appearing?  It makes it messy.   Can anyone help me with this?  

I’m looking at implementing scheduling with the Advanced Planning Board or CBS.What is the purpose of Batch Processing in the APB? Can the results from the batch load be set to save to the IFS database automatically when it runs? Or is CBS needed for automated scheduling? Thanks,Eric    

 Can we add to the list of objects to which a change request can be attached?  I see a whole lot of part centric options but what would I use if I wanted to suggest a change to a drawing that has not yet been made into a part?  The drawing may be a document registered in document management! Thanks! The list of object connections already present.
