A lot is been issued for multiple lots. After issuance there seem to be a non-conformance. The customer would like an easy to approach to create one NCR/MRB for the entire lot.Like your feedback and similar experiences with clients ?

I’m trying to validate the Kanban Resizing calculation and when I go through it the numbers are significantly different.  We are using MS/MRP demands, I put future dates (6/1/2023 - 9/30/2023) and have the Shop Order Requisitions.  I’m using calendar days, does the Resizing use Work Days, if so what calendar is it using?  Also what Lot Size is it using, Standard?  I have a total quantity between 6/1/2023 and 9/30/2023 of 3600, the number of days is 121, Leadtime is 28, Safety stock is 0, Std Lot Size is 480.  The kanban size is 5 cards at 500.  The calculation is Number of Kanbans.  When I resize it I get 4 cards at 500, I can’t figure out how this number is generated.  Everything I try brings it down to 2 or 3 cards depending on the Daily Demand calendar I use.

Hi all,I have a problem on ms level 1 part.  After I entered customer order and ms forecast, I run ms one part. And some ms supply that within PTF turned to fixed status. Up to now all is ok however to see in detail the fixed row I right clicked on the fixed row where the ms level 1 part --> Supply and Demand page (type:ms supply) unfurtunately Supply Demand Details was inactive to click on the menu. What could be reason not to created  a shop order requisition by MS? To create shop order requisition what can I do?Thanks…

Does anyone know if there are any conditions that would create a new inventory part as “Cost Per Lot Batch”. All new inventory parts seem to get created with this set as “Cost Per Part”.I would like all my new inventory parts to be “Cost Per Lot Batch” but there doesn’t seem to be a way of setting a default or a set of conditions on Master Part that would set this to Cost Per Lot Batch for new inventory parts. There is a way to set a default for everything else in the “Cost Control” group of settings except for the Cost Level! Is that an IFS oversight?All settings seem to result in “Cost Per Part”. I don’t really want to go in and change every single new inventory part that’s created. But that’s what I am currently doing.Only solution I can think of is a custom event to change it to “Cost Per Lot Batch” for new inventory parts.Thanks! 

Hello all, I have two unique part numbers that run through the same work center. The two parts are very similar in look, and we would ideally like to prevent them from being schedule to run back to back.  I have not been able to find anything in the help section of IFS (apps 10) that would indicate there is functionality to address this. Any guidance would be appreciated!

It is about the Operation Reporting with Barcode page.In this screen fields about time reporting are automatically filled in with the routing time once the operation ID is completed.Is there any impact of following setting on the “Operation Reporting with Barcode” process ?Work center setting (screenshot 1): - auto report labor time with qty => never- auto report machine time with qty => neverSite settings (screenshot 2):- default remaining time to report => noWith these settings, in the shop floor workbench, it actually works (screenshot 3), need to fill in manually the times to report. But unable to see any effect on the Operation Reporting with Barcode screen (screenshot 4).

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.

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. (Sc

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

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)

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?
