How can we notify warehouse staff to deliver parts to production floor? We think sending a material requisition would work but I don’t know. We want to send the notification to the warehouse for specific part number to be delivered to the production floor for a specific Shop Order being assembled. Is this a task, kanban or material req?Any suggestions?Thank you,

Hi, In the DOP releasing process, where we net everything, IFS will take parts on a arrival location into account and will not create additional PR’s for these parts.However, the parts on the arrival location are not netted or reversed, which means that if they move into stock they could be used for every other order as well. Is there any way to go around this issue? Thanks!  

I set a Purchase Requisition Authorization Rule.I define a Routing Template and use it in my rule.In this Routing Template I have 3 steps for Authorizing, A group one and 2 single steps. I set an event for it. I create  a Purchase Requisition according to the conditions of this rule.After Releasing the Purchase Requisition I expect that the event will be send to each steps according to sequence of step numbers.But it is sent for all steps at the same time without consideration of sequences.Does anybody face this bug?

We are transitioning from IFS9 to IFS10 and are wondering what the equivalent process steps are to Finalize Shipment.  We do not see the menu option when we RMB in the shipment header or the line.Searching presentation objects by component and database objects no “finalize” elements are returned, but are available in IFS9 when doing similar search.Is it now a separate process, different term? Thank You

Hello all, I’d like advice on how to manage this situation in IFS Cloud.We buy SS sheets of 20 ft2, however we use 16 ft2 of the sheet. The issue we currently have is the sheet is purchased in ft2 UoM and the BOM is listing 16 ft2 for production. Hence the production consumes 16 ft2.That said, the remaining 4 ft2 of the 20 ft2 sheet is not necessarily scrap (it can be used for smaller parts or on other BOM).The problem is, when consuming many 16 ft out of 20 ft, the remaining 4 ft2 are cummulating, showing in IFS the total inventory in ft2. So manufacturing could believe we have 16 ft2 to manufacture, when in reality we have 4x 4 ft2, not usable for this BOM (but usable for other BOMs).How can/should this be managed in IFS? I feel our way is not correct, but I’m unsure of the correct way.Thank you!

Hi, I would like to change the button text on the time clock (time clock in production). However, the default time clock that we are using is in English, but the buttons get translated to the local language. Where can I find these translations and change them? So If i change the text in ‘Time Clock Type Details’, it doesn’t do a thing as it gets translated anyway.It could be an option to block the translation, as we use 1 language anyway.  

Hi.Why IFS delete the cost set 1 from the Work Center if you are copying an inventory part cost from, for example, from cost set 2 to 1 and one the work centers do not have the cost set 2? I tested this case in  IFS 9, IFS 10 and Cloud. I think this is a BUG because the Cost Set 1 is the unique mandatory cost set. I tested this case in  IFS 9, IFS 10 and Cloud. 

When viewing component parts on the Product Structure page the Component Part column is formatted like: “Part Number - Description”. When you export to Excel, this column is formatted the same way. We would like a dedicated column for Part Number, and a dedicated column for Description. Is there a way to achieve? Thanks

Our company recently migrated IFS from IFS8 to IFS Cloud (?). To keep the same functionality when working with documents as in IFS8, we have to install the Aurena Agent. I installed both parts of the Aurena, the Extension in Chrome and the part that has to be installed on the PC. Installation was successful, and i can see the IFS Logo at the Chrome extension and in the Task bar of the PC. The extension is active and it has access to the relevant server where IFS is running. So far everything seems ok! But when i look in the User settings of IFS it looks like that:Everything greyed out, nothing accessible, and it says that the Aurena Agent is not properly installed!Does anyone have an idea?

Customer Query: In the previous version of IFS (IFS APP 9), the expense reference from from the expense sheet was pulled though onto the Invoice Comments in project transactions, however since IFS10 it has been pulling through onto the Internal Comments section which means this needs to be copied and pasted to Invoice Comments screen if it is required on the invoice. Ideally we would like all Expense References to be pulled through onto Invoice Comments so they are visible on invoices.Please can you tell me if this is possible in IFS10?

Hello, I want to unpeg an order that is on the customer order lines, but when I unpeg, the supply code becomes IO. I want it to be ND. How can I do it?   

Hi everyone,Our customer is working on IFS Cloud 22R1.They set up data under "Supplier for Purchase Part" screen. They set purchased part price together with charge price such as logistic costs under Charges Tab. Supplier Invoice is set as "Self-Billing"under this supplier master data to create supplier invoice automatically. When user creates purchase order for this supplier and specifies this purchase part, the system creates an invoice automatically with the price of purchase part but charge amount is not reflected into the invoice as another line.They expects to create a supplier invoice automatically which includes both purchase part price and charge price by separate line in the invoice based on the setting of supplier for purchase part. Is there any way to manage their requirement?Thanks in advance,

We are using planning method A for the majority of our parts and have so far been updating the safety stock manually.I see in the help that the automatic update of safety stock is possible with planning methods B and C. Why is that? And is there any way we can use it for planning method A?Regards,Basil

Hi guys,In IFS 9 when we change the field “need date” at shop order, we have a question to update “Planned due date” at CO. Now, IFS Cloud, when change the field “need date”, nothing happens into “planned due date” at CO. Is there any configuration allow we need to do in IFS Cloud to enable this functionality? Gianni Neves

We have a part that is machined on any 1 of 8 different machines. Each machine is its own work center. Each work center is setup as a different alternate routing for the part. When CRP is calculated, load from shop order requisitions will only appear on the work center that’s on the primary routing. This machine/work center always appears overloaded, while the alternates appear to have plenty of capacity, even though the load will be spread across all machines. Is it possible to generate load from shop order requisitions to alternate routings?   Thanks,Eric

Hello together, I have a customer issue regarding App9 IFS Project/Manufacturing. I entered a part in IFS in the project screen on the tab “Demand” to purchase. It showed a part price of 308, 60 € (1) in “Planned costs”.The issue is: the part price is regarding the inventory part tab “cost” 540,80€ (2) (estim. part price/last -/intermediate cost) and 540,77€ (3) part cost per unit. I checked the all part cost calculation tabs, but I can´t find the 308,60€ (1).It is a multisite part, so I check the other sites. Also there is a external operation to produce the part, I also tried to subtract this out, but (1) did not turn out.Does anybody have an idee what still to check resp. where these “planned cost” can come from? Thank you!Regards Markus

Community, I have a MAKE part would use production line level production. I have an issue, this part, I have to make it qty 1 at each shop order. but Production Line Management does not consider this parameter in Inventory Part Planning Data settings, only MRP does. Planning Data qty 1 on each shop order Production Line Management generated SR as per line rate qty 200/day if we use back to MRP, it does split to qty 1 each in SR, but how we to control the level production, this is also a challenge. thoughts?

Hi community,Looking for your suggestions on the following.One of IFS customer has raise their concern as the tracked structure solution in Shop Floor Workbench in IFS Cloud is not providing the needed support for them.Their production is based on traceability (Lot/Batch or Serial No) and every product produced by the company is marked with product number and serial/lot batch. Therefore, getting a readable reference on the serials produced in a Shop Order is important to their production.In IFS Cloud, scaling a Shop order in lot size or having a serial contain a lot of sub materials/assemblies has made the tracked structure unreadable to the customer.Refer to the following screen capture from IFS Cloud,In order to get to the needed information in IFS Cloud they have to scroll down and marking 25 unique serials.The customer requirement is to have the same capabilities as they had in Apps9 since it gives the following benefits to the customerEasy view the serials Improves the navigation

One of customer is asking the possibility of deleting “Cancelled” Non-Conformance Correction Lines in Aurena.We can see only cancel option is there which will keep correction lines as “Cancelled”.Is there any way we can delete “Cancelled” correction lines?Why “Delete” option is not available?
