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

I have checked the Configuration Characteristic and the value NO is there…Where else should I check?we are on Apps10 UPD14 

On an inventory part, under the Revisions tab, we have old revisions that are still showing with a Product Status of “In Effect” when they should be “Not In Effect”.  I’ve double checked the following:The Phase Out date is passed Product structures tied to that revision are retired - obsolete There are no alternates on these product structure revisionsWhat else might be causing the Product Status field to be “In Effect”? 

Hi, after I release a DOP (all SO’s and PR’s created in a released status, inventory reservations made), I make a new PO (unreleated of the DOP). However, the part from the new PO is also something I can use in the DOP structure. Is it possible to net again the released DOP? What will happen with the underlying DOP orders, as we now have a part in stock so the underlying orders are not needed anymore? Thanks!

Historically our company has tracked what we call ‘as required’ qty in engineering BOMs typically for materials used in the manufacturing process (epoxy, paint, etc).In IFS, the design engineers will put a qty .001 (a convention we invented) meaning that the exact qty is unknown at design time, but will be updated by a manufacturing engineer when the actual amount of material needed (ie 2 gallons) is known.We want to move away from the .001 for some technical reasons. Is there an industry standard way, supported by IFS, to handle this type of scenario.

Hello all,I am looking for a way to analyze data and generate an alarm when a process is going in the wrong direction. We currently have Control Plans setup for all manufactured parts. Variable measurement checks are setup on each. We have specified Outer Min, Nominal Value, and Outer Max values.I was testing the use of SPC in IFS and defining UCL, CL, and LCL values that are within the Min and Max values. When I create the chart I do see the alarms. My question is,  is this the correct solution to achieve the desired results, or should I be leveraging another feature (Inner Target Cp/Cpk)? Any guidance would be appreciated!

Hello everyone, While using the tool Shop order multilevel material availability i noticed the column (Minimum simulated start date) first i thought it represents the latest date where you can place the order taking into account the lead time (purchasing or manufacturing) But while running the simulation, i had this: running date : 13 aprilThe system gives me minimum simulation dates in the past which is wierd because even if you take the lead time into account the date will still be not in the past. Is somone familiar with this problem or might have another difinition of the minimum simulation date!Thank you in advance 

Hi All,   We have excess quantities on one DOP order ( Eg Purchase Order of Supply Type DOP), I want to use that excess quantities in other DOP for same part with same purchase order.    Can we accomplish the same in DOP, if yes then how. Using Apps 10.   Thanks All, HA

Does anyone know if there will be a new version of FMEA in Cloud that will be AIAG & VDA compliant?

Cloud 22.2.1.When splitting a shop order, users cannot enter the Order Number for the new order as they could in Apps9 and Apps10. Is this working as designed or is it a bug? 

Hei  I am wondering if anyone knows how to assign work leaders to a work order? Is this functionality gone and replaced with assign work to the various work tasks?

Hi, We set up control plan trigger with Time schedule of 8 hours, but when process purchase order receipt in three days, only one purchase analysis had been triggered as below snapshot, but other two days not, please help to check what is the reason for that? Your quick response is appreciated.ThanksSusan 

A manufactured part was created and not used, but it is in status Buildable.  Can it be deleted? I have not been able to take it to any status that can be deleted.

Hello all,  I am trying to delete the Engineering Part Revision for a part. The Engineering Part Revision is Obsolete, but when I try to delete it, I receive this message:   Any suggestion on a solution?  Thank you for your help! 

We somehow managed to connect a Manufacturing Labor Class to a Resource that has a resource type of “Person”. This prevents us from assigning a true person resource to the labor class, creating an error message that says, “Resource Type Person cannot be parent to Resource Type Person”. We cannot break this linkage and create a correct resource connection after so many trials and errors. Any help is appreciated. 

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to set the Notes field on Report Scrap to mandatory? Looking on SFWB, I do not see a location where this can be done. Hoping there is something I’m missing.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In Cloud version, how can you assign a ressource type employee on a shop order operation ? i have 2 columns “Setup Assign” and “Run assign” equal to “No”’; i therefore beleive that it’s possible; but how ?

Hi everyone,One of our customer have problem with generating SO from MRP for a purchase part with safety stock greater than 0. (In IFS V8 by the way).In this particular case, we have a demand of 2.000.It is possible that IFS is not taking consideration our safety stock for that demand?

Hello, When we take back the attached material, it gives the error message in the picture.It records the code snippet in the attachment. We do not encounter such an error when we open a different work order. What is causing this error? Can you help me?  

Community,below is the error when reopening a shop order, i have 2 questions, would like to borrow your mind.can we still proceed the shop order? if question 1 is yes, how we handle the current error? Thank you.
