Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

When creating a new Engineering Revision for a component part (will refer to as lower level) we make the part Active and then Release. At the release stage we check the box to replace the “where used” and select all parent parts (will refer to as sub-level parts) that include the lower-level part in their structures. These sub-level parts are already ‘released’ and previously transferred to inventory. When the lower-level part is replaced, it flips the ‘PDM Preliminary Rev. Change’ from ‘Not Changed’ to ‘Changed’ of all “where used” parent sub-level parts. After the lower-level part is transferred, its “PDM Preliminary Rev Change” will flip from “Changed” to “Transferred.”  However, the parent “where used” sub-level parts affected will remain in a “Changed” state. Note this condition has been observed through intentional testing. During a normal business operation, the parent “where used” sub-level parts are not typically viewed on the Transfer Actions screen.  Subsequently, at a point

Hello, So I am running a query to select all parts from Part Master Data (Inventory_Part) based on site (contract), part number, and Part Type (Type_Code).  When running this, I am seeing that we have a single part from the same site that contains both Manufactured, and Purchased part type.  In IFS, this part number shows Type_Code as Manufactured. We do have two sites, one that gets purchased parts, and one that contains manufactured parts. But in this case, IFS is showing that this part for the particular site is Manufactured, but when I run a query, it is showing both Manufactured and Purchased in the Database.  Do you know why?  Thank you for the help! 

Apps10 Upd15From the documentation on Create MRB Case:If a serialized and/or lot/batch tracked part is submitted to the MRB case, a record will be saved in the part serial history and/or lot batch history indicating its submission to the MRB.I have a lot/batch tracked part in inventory. I created an MRB Case for this quantity in stock and completed the case, but I do not see an entry for this in its Lot Batch Master > History.Is the documentation not correct?

Hello,  I would like to apply material overhead on good issue on production order only on purchase inventory parts.Si i made the following settings:  When i launch the cost part on manufactured part, i obtain the following cost with 10% material overheadBut when i did the issue of a purchased inventory part on a production order, the 10% is not calculated on average price but on estimated price. Is anybody knows how we can have the Material overhead calculated on average price (51,56)?Thanks in advance for your help

Has anyone come across this error?  My client is receiving this error. She found out the manager had reopened the serial part.  Once this was done, IFS states that it has been modified.Now, they are trying to unreceive one of the parts that was received in error and cannot unreceive it.Does anyone know what can be done to unreceive the serial part?  

Dear community, I am getting the error below when I am trying to create a specific DOP structure. But everything is fine for other parts.Any help would be appreciated. Note: I have checked generated calender  Kind Regards Özgün Bal

Hello, around 2 weeks ago my companies users started experiencing an issue we never ran into prior. All the way down at the end of the columns there is a “Location No” column. We’ve never touched this before and had no issues prior. Recently when we go to a new line it runs an error of “To Location No” not filled. We have to manually type 0 to bypass it which is incredibly annoying for our users to do on every single line. What could the cause of this be? Thanks. PS we’re on apps10..

Hi,we came across no part cost for a component which is manufactured but has a purchased cost template.  So we tried to figure out how this constellation has happend:If you create a new manuf part cost template in cost set 1 is set automatically to M-110correctif you change the part type to purchased, the the cost template in cost set 1 is set automatcally to P-110correctBut we have 2 jobs running at night: Calculate cost set 3 for all parts and copy cost set 3 to cost set 1 Unfortunately the part type change does not change the cost template of cost set 3.This means we have the wrong cost teplates in all the parts where part type has been changed. Any idea how to solve this dilemma? Do I need to create an event at part type change or at cost template change in cost tab 1 in order to have the same cost template in 3 or are there any settings or easier work arounds?

I understand that only certain releases of Primavera are supported by IFS.Where can I find the current list of those releases which are supported ?

Community,  Can anyone share with me where to define this Lot Size? please see below highlighted. Thank you. 

I hope someone has come across this scenario before.I have a product structure that has some components connected to a later OP in the routing. This is because I don’t need the parts until, say, OP 30 or 40.However, MRP plans ALL the components as due on the start date of the shop order, completely disregarding the fact that I don’t need some components until the third or fourth OP, which may be weeks after the start of the shop order.Does anyone know how to get MRP to schedule these supplies as due after the start of the shop order and actually due when that OP they are connected to is scheduled to start?Be grateful for any views. Still using Apps 9.Thanks.

I have a question regarding recipe structure and wondering if anyone has seen a similar scenario and has recommendations? Raw materials are purchased in kg. BOM also calls for mixing of these by kg (or grams). Some of the materials contain bacteria. At goods inwards this bacteria level is measured (CFU/g). The BOM is based on the suppliers quoted minimum CFU/g. However, in most cases the suppliers will deliver to a higher concentration (meaning less kg are required to achieve the desired concentration level). The result is that the BOM must be recalculated and adjusted on each shop order, depending on the CFU/g of the available raw materials. Raw materials are potentially expensive, so it does not make sense to issue more than required CFU. This also creates an issue for MRP / planning as CFU is not known and plan is only based on kg. When adjustments are made too late, this can cause sudden changes in material availability. Are the any recommendations or suggestions to handle this wit

Hi,  My customer is looking for the possibility to have a multilevel configured structure for a Shop order, but where phantom parts are still present. I know Manufacturing structure screen allow the user to get the full multilevel mBOM, yet it is not a configured mBOM.On DOP header, there is also a multilevel mBOM, which is configured, yet phantom parts are not visible (because they’re phantoms). Does someone know if a report that would generate the following bom can be built ? : Multilevel BOM Configured BOM  Phantom parts are visibleI think this would be helpful for others too !

Hello, I have noticed that when I’m in a table view in Aurena and I sort by latest created date, the system does not properly sort the Creation Time. It appears to do earliest time stamp to latest, which is the opposite of how IEE works. Is there a way in Aurena to sort by created date/time? This view is quite confusing, as you’re now sorting by latest date and then reading the results in reverse. Any guidance would be appreciated.   

Hi, In our DOP structure, shop orders for the same parts will arise on different levels, with different need dates. IFS creates all these seperately. Is there a setting which tells IFS to create the Shop orders once, at the earliest due date with a lot size that can cover the needs for the complete DOP? A bit like MRP planning method G. Thanks! 

I have created a Quick Report (Crystal Report) that uses the Azalea Code 39 barcode.  When running the report with the barcode in it the report fails with the message: Failed to retrieve the report.  Please contact your system administrator.    If I remove the barcode from the report the report runs without any errors. Please advise.

Hi, In Shop order process type system seems to be counting calendar days for no of days before start date  and is not taking the site manufacturing  calendar into account.Is this the intended way it should work and are there any settings related to this?We are on IFS10 upd14 /Anna

Hi community,The Material Status was resolved but cannot complete Manual Received because of this prompt message. Please help; thanks.  

Hello,Is it possible to set up a system to backflush all raw materials/components that are used for Shop Order production when receiving on SO less quantity then planned?E.g. Shop Order lot size = 1000        Component required = 1000        Receiving from SO = 990        I have a backflush flag set up, but instead of backflushing qty 990 of my component (according to what I receive), I would still like to backflush the total component quantity as planned 1000.

One of the customers am working with have observed the following. Would request your assistance to help solve this issue. Note the customer is running application 9. The system is retrieving costs erroneously from Standard Costing for Employee Category when it should be using costs from the labor class. Flow to re-create the issue: 1. Have labor class set up for both run time and overhead costs. 2. Have employee set up for Employee Category General. 3. Have Standard Costs set for Employee Category General different than labor class so you can be sure what the system is doing. 4. Make sure that Company Details for Company i.e X are not checked to use Employee Costs. (This would be the signal to use Standard Cost) 5. Make sure that Site is not Checked for Override Employee Costs This determines which labor class costs the system should use. 6. Then report time for employee 1063 who is in employee category General. 7. Check the costs. Costs are bein

Is it possible in IFS APP 10 to changes status of an MRB Case from Completed to Open to modify notes if tied to a closed shop order?

Hello  Is there a work instruction for serialization of purchase parts please? We would like to trial this for a few purchase parts in our test environment.  The parts will be used assembly of a rail grinder.  Thanks 

Hi,We would like to create a shop order, but we want to clarify that the material cost will not be included in the shop order cost because all materials will be supplied by the customer. We will only be charging for the cost of making the product. The customer will be sending us the raw materials, which we will store in our inventory. As a result, we also need to receive all inventory items without a price or with a minimum price.Therefore, I would like to request an expert opinion on how we can best manage this process. Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your assistance.

Our internal store material requests follow a process of Material Requisition on IFS. However, we cannot reserve material beyond the current stock levels set by the stores' mix-max levels in IFS. Automated orders are generated only when stock levels reach the minimum threshold. Is there a way to reserve more than the stock level to fulfill current material needs along with stores' maximum levels, so that orders are automatically placed?

Community,wondering whether it is feasible in IFS to make the shop order status “Started”, but there is no material actually issued to the shop order? Thank you.
