Hi, how do you guys block capacity in production, without having shop orders? For example: during a project, you allready know that you will need some capacity in production, but the shop order can’t be made yet. You know for sure you will need the CNC machine, but cannot make the SO yet.We do want to reserve the capacity in production. We can’t wait untill the SO is ready, as this will delay the project. Thanks!

Hello!We’re using Alternate Inventory Parts. If, on a Shop Order, you have to use an alternate part, the work guidelines do no update - it keeps the Shop Order Material Work Guidelines of the original part. While I can obviously create an event to do this, I just want to make sure I’m not taking the hard road. I would think this would be a built-in process. 

Hi everyone ,One of my user can not see Action List’s columns . He has a same permission sets with everyone else. The others can see the columns but he cant. Is there any idea why he cant see?  

Hello IFS Users.I have a finished goods assembly on hand that I need to return to stock at the component level. I’m hoping I don’t have to do it with a bunch of inventory adjustments, but instead use some type of shop order or rework order to disassemble the assembly and return its components to the stockroom and charge the labor as well to do the disassembly.Has anyone done this type of disassembly process using IFS?Thank you all for your input.  

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

Hi, If I drag and drop operation to a occupied resource (workcenter), APB will automatically reschedule the operation that’s allready there. However, I don’t want that. I want to temporarly overload the workcenter, and afterwards drag and drop the operation that i want to move to another date.How can I turn the feature off?

Hi,When we create a count report in IFS, it seems to only create count reports for a bin location within whatever parameters that we define where inventory exists.  Is it possible to create a count report to include ALL bin locations within specific parameters to also include the empty bin locations?  If not, has anyone come up with a viable solution to also be counting empty bin locations to ensure that physically something isn’t in them, but not in the system? Thanks,Curtis Carpenter

A shop floor user is clocking into up to 10 shop orders at once (Allows concurrent labor clockings is enabled). The Time Share calculation is causing issues with cost postings. Time Share is a factor calculated based on the remaining labor hours on an operation. This is then multiplied by total clocking duration to give a duration per operation. This is less then ideal. They would strongly prefer the labor time is even split over each shop order they are clocking into (clocked into 2 operations, multiple labor time by .5, clocked into 4 operations, multiply by .25, etc....)In the attached example an employee was clocked in for .62 hours. Because Operation 5699 had less remaining labor than 7302, less labor is applied to Operation 5699.Does anyone have a fix/work around/suggestion?Thanks all for your help.  

Hi. We are using the screen Resource Analysis to review manufacturing demand against planned avilable resource but can't work out what the ‘Preliminary demand’ and ‘Planned demand’ is used for?our graph only shows Shop order, CRP calculated and Absence data (see below). regardsJamie 

Hi All,  We got an issue from a client saying that they need to check the deviation of production for the month of January 2023. So, we suggested to get the costing from ‘Shop Orders Costs’ window after running ‘Aggregate Shop Order Costs per Shop Order’ job.But the client is saying they are calculating the costing from Product Structure level and wants to know the difference of logic deviation between product structure costing and the shop order costing.App version: 8Thank you in advance.

Hi Team,is it possible to delete an incident if automatic notification was already sent to the distribution list? Thanks   

Hi,I’m trying to add a custom field to the Register Arrivals screen to display currency code of the purchase order (source_ref1) but I receive the following error: Any help would be much appreciated. 

Problem:We have produced a machine with a part serial structure. The machine was sold and delived (Sm-object checked of), meaning that it created a serial object structure with the serialised parts.  Now we have discovered that a wrong serial no was registered on the komponent part. Therefore I want to change the component parts serial both in the serial object structure and in the serial part structure.  Does anyone have an answer as to how this is done the best way? It is in APPS10UPD15

Hi,We are new IFS Customer implementing IFS 22R1.We are currently strugeling with the Production Quality Control. We are producing in one piece flow. Therefore, we produce one piece of the production order and want to reply to the complete Quality plan (all questions) for this piece. Once done, we move to the production to the next piece of the same production order.We understood from the consultants that’s not possible. In IFS, we need to reply to the first question for the complete production order quantity, then move to the next question for the entire production order quantity,... Even if it’s possible to move to the next question before replying for all products, it requests a lot of “click” to move from screen to screen. By doing so, we will loose a lot of productivity in our production.  How other factories producing in one piece flow manage this in IFS? Many thanks in advance for your reply. 

Hi all, We have a qualification profile with several certificates, which are all valid for a specific operation.The employee doensn’t need to have all the certificates, meaning that he should be considered capable for the operation with only one of the certificates.Is there a way to consider the qualification profile fulfilled with only 1 of the certificates?

Hi,I have to build a custom event that would trigger when the Purchase Order header status is changed. And it has to create a quick report or generate an excel file, adding purchase order line details to it.Is there a way to do this?Thanks,Supun.

22R2Looking to use handheld barcode scanners in the manufacturing processes for various transactions. 1. What type of handheld scanners are supported by IFS Cloud 22R2?2.  It appears that Scandit license is needed.  Does IFS provide that license or does it have to be purchased separately?  3.  Is there any documentation on how to set up the scanner to connect to IFS.4.  Is there any documentation on the configuration/setup in IFS to use the scanner/barcode.

Hi Community ,  We have face error while receiving MRO shop order .Kindly need your help and feedback 

We are planning to use part characteristics or technical classes and attributes to make it easier for users to find parts or products. Initially we thought it is the same thing and hoped that after technical attributes are defined that they would also be shown in the inventory part as well. This is not the case.What is the system logic to separate part characteristics or technical attributes? Which of these two functionalities are suitable to be used in what cases?  

How do you change the promised delivery date only?

Hi,Does anyone have any experience and or guidance that you could share for how to manage Technical Classes that require both imperial and metric attributes and attribute values. We are mid way through a company by company implementation, which has being focused on European countries(where units of measurement are metric). Our next implementation will be in a USA located manufacturing company where the units of measurement are imperial. Ideally we like to use the same tech classes across the group of companies but we are unsure as to how we could do this in IFS if at all.  RegardsJohn

Hello, Is it possible to have different planning methods in a multilevel product structure. For example we have a 6 layer product structure with different disciplines. I want to be able to make the lower levels for sheetmetal parts planning method D (fixed lot sizes), but the other levels have to be Planning method A so if the customer orders 4 we need to make 4 end assembly's but the sheetmetal parts for example 12 pcs. Can anyone help me with this topic? Thank you in advance

Hello, We have a case;Think of a prod structure : Part No : A (Main Part) (Got 1 operation ) Part No: B (Component Part of A) (Got 1 operation ) (Qty per assembly=1) Part No: C (Component Part of B) (Got 1 operation ) (Qty per assembly=1) we have no stock or supply for part  A ,B , Cand we have shop orders like  for required lot size of 1000 parts B and C have ( 10 days operation lead time) Shop Order (1234) : Part No A , Lot Size 1000  (Shop Order Operation Lead Time of 10 days) Need Date 25.03.2023 Think of a calendar of 24 hours working and no holidays.Mrp creates  shop order requsitions  for shop order 1234 like , Requisition no (123456) : Part B need date: 15.03.2023 and required to start date : 05.03.2023Requisition no (123457) : Part C need date: 05.03.2023 and required to start date : 24.02.2023 I want to make MRP to create shop order requisitions like having the behaviour overlapping function between each others. Part A can start after part B has produced 500 units Part B can
