  1 :1.) I made the Title for the item dynamic with the # TODAY # command.2.) Can we give a parametric value to the field which is the item?3.) Can a dynamic value be assigned to lobby elements with lobby tools as in the title? For example, write the month automatically. As far as I researched, while the page title is dynamic, the lobby elements are not 

From the documentation I found out that CRMObjectAccess entity was removed from IFS Cloud. Does anyone know if the functionality of this entity, exist (renamed or any other way) in IFS Cloud? My requirement is to implement the same functionality in IFS Could. Therefore, appreciate your points on this.

Hello Ifs Community,  I understood that the Due date of a sub level Dop Ordre is always planned to meet the parent Dop Ordrer Start Date even if it's not needed until a later operation on that order.But when a the Dop Structure is released and the pegged shop orders are created, could the functionnality "update dates from supply" be used to update the Dop Order "due date" from the pegged shop orders "required date"? If yes,- what is the différence between update dates from supply -> "order" and update dates from supply "branch"?- what are the right settings nécessaire for this functionnality ? (Default supply type? Dop update pegged so? Etc.? Because when i click on "update dates from supply", nothing happens on the Due dates..  Thanks for tour help. Kind regards,  

Hello Community,Good Day..!!We are using IFS 9. We have found one issue for the Inventory parts revisions. Suppose there are 9 revisions created for a Part then we can see that all the 6 revisions are showing active. Due to this system is considering the very 1st revision while considering the component parts from the Bill of material.All the 08 revision are phase out then also this is happening and to avoid it we need to cancel all the earlier revisions which were in the Plannable state to canceled state then only the last revision getting considered by the system. Can you please guide why erlier revision are get activated. For all the parts this has happened.  

Hi,I have a doubt about Cost Calculation- All Parts. I know that the All Parts-Cost Calculation  calculates costs for  multiple Parts at one time.My doubt is: does it calculates cost for multiple purchased or manufactured parts at the same time? Thanks 

We have MS Level 1 parts that are manufactured and many that are purchased (finished goods).All have a demand time of 2 days.MS Level 1 parts that are manufactured have a planning time fence of 20 days, and the planning time fence of those that are purchased reflect the purchase lead times of the parts, typically 50+ days, many above 100 days.For manufactured parts we tend to set a production plan for the next 3 weeks, and will not change the forecast in the planning time fence.For purchased parts with such a long lead time (planning time fence) we believe that we should make changes to the forecast if we expect that demand will change. By making such changes and being able to see the forecast in the planning time fence we would be able to communicate risks, such as when we see we will go into negative on-hand, and we may be able to act to expedite purchase orders, for example choosing a faster mode of transport.What is the best practice for managing the planning time fence and forecas

Hi All,I have been testing the Detailed Transfer functionality, but am not able to add any new parts.I can delete parts and change quantity, but not add parts.Are there any other prerequisites to enable this functionality, what am I overlooking?!Any help appreciated :)Thanks,Wade

Has anyone managed to insert a fixed schedule delay between the completion of a component part shop order and the start of the parent part shop order where it is consumed?My scenario is that I want to ensure that the component part shop orders are completed ahead of when they are being demanded. I don’t want them planned to complete one day before the parent part shop order starts. In effect, I want to build slack into the manufacturing schedule created by MRP.I thought of making the component routing have a longer machine time than I need to build it, which might work but it wouldn’t be obvious looking at the dates. But I’d be interested if anyone else has tried to do this and been successful.Thanks!

Hi,I need to understand how the Estimated Accumulated cost calculated in Shop order costs for the Inventory parts for ‘Weighted Average cost’ valuation method and Inventory part cost level as ‘Cost per lot batch’ and the possibilities of having a difference with the value in Standard Accumulated Cost.Regards,Nadeeka

I am trying to execute a site to site transport task. I am getting an error message “PART REVISON 1 ON THE SUPPLY SITE CORRESPONDS TO ENGINEERING REVISION B. THERE IS NO PART REVISION ON THE DEMAND SITE THAT CORRESPONDS TO ENGINEERING REVISIONS B AND THEREFORE THE TRANSFER IS NOT ALLOWED”.I checked and the part on both sites have the same information. What am I missing?

Hi all,does anybody have the practical expirience with UoM different than hours on the level of Work Center? How does it work together with UoM of the manufactured part? What is the impact on the lead time? Is there any documentation on this topic (not just describing that you can fill here different UoM than Hours which is the default)? Is there any typical industry where this setup can be applied?Currently on IFS Cloud 22R2, but accepting any information independently on IFS version:), wondering what was the idea behind in RnD, looking for an acceleration and a decision (applicable vs useless) on this topic and not having so much time to study PLSQL source codes.Thanks in advance.With kind regards,Zdenek

Hi we are upgrading to IFS cloud 22R2 from apps 9 and getting this error on incoming customer orders, does anyone know where the priority reservations are controlled?Thanks

Hello,There is a connected control plan for any product in the shop order. This shop order has been canceled as a result of the analysis. We want to re-analyze. How can we do this? The relevant picture is attached. 

What is maximum engineering part revisions?

Hi,Wanted to know if intersite process will work for outside operation in shop order if demand and supply sites belongs to different companies?. Thanks. 

Hi All,Is it correct to say that the Total Material Scrap Quantity determined in a Shop Order for a specific component during planning level is equal to: Component Scrap Quantity + Scrap Factor * Lot Size of Shop Order ?   

Community,We are on APP10, UPD9. We are setting shortage handling functionality.We are expecting alert message “ There are shortage on Inventory Part XXXX” prompted when the part is really in short. But system just remain silent though we do see the part in Inventory Parts with Shortages window.I remember when in APP9, system does have this prompt. why APP10 behaves differently? Thank you.

Good morning We are currently using IFS Apps 10 and have a question of best practise when it comes to arrears handling. Our business provides engineering and manufacturing service a multitude of sectors with all orders being MTO. We process a mix of new and repeat components in large and small batch sizes.We have a current situation of having multiple custom order line due date past due (total past due hours on average 1800) which results in all lower-level supply/ demand being past due. This creates the problem of not being able to provide a realistic manufacturing plan to the shop floor departments and purchasing plans to procurement due to the fact we are unable to travel back in time to manufacture/ place an order.The planning base data has been validated, routing times, structures and lots sizes all correct.My question is how have other people handled this situation before? Do we plan in arrears and hope we catch up which seems unlikely as we are always loading new work?Do we not

Is there a way to handle the EU Timber Regulations and Recyclability requirements for EU Member states that require companies to track material tonnage (plastic, paper, metal) shipped into those EU Member States?  This is a US customer which ships into the EU.

Hi, Using APB, we can (must) assign people to operations.But how are they reflected in the the client? If I use APB to assign a person, I don’t see it on the workbench or in ‘shop floor operation assignments’?In APB:I did save it to the database :-)  

Hi, Can someone give me some insights on the difference between unit cost and part cost? If I manufacture a standard part, with labour and material, for the first time, it looks like IFS puts the standard cost into the unit cost after receiving (I did not do any calculation up front). This value is ok, do I need to do the part cost calculation? What’s the consequence If I don’t? Configurable parts, with standard cost and cost per config setting, seem to have that cost on the unit cost. If i make a config for the first time, IFS adds the cost in the unit cost. Do I need to do the calculate cost up front in the DOP of interim header?

In IFS I am being asked to make the availability check at customer order entry check the entire structure for availability, not just the top part being ordered. Is there a reason why this would be needed. I found documentation saying it specifically uses the top level only. I was under the assumption that demand considers the components already, so there's no need for the availability check to also do it. The Availability Check at Customer Order Entry and Customer Order SourcingThe availability check at customer order entry is a planned delivery date estimation based upon an organization's material constraints. It is an order-promising calculation that verifies and/or suggests a delivery date by analyzing material. It considers the available material for single-level product structures.

We are using APB to schedule shop orders. Parts are manufactured in four processes on different work centres with the different sub-assemblies (manufactured components) identified as separate parts. The processes need to be scheduled so that they are completed in time for the next part to be started. We are backward scheduling and the top part’s need date should drive the scheduling of the previous (lower) parts in the structure. APB is not scheduling the shop orders of the parts as we had expected. How can this be achieved in APB?

In my previous company I was using Apps 9 & had change order templates in the basic data, In my new company we are using Apps 10 & the change order templates are not in the basic data. Has this feature been removed or replaced?

Hi,On the Corrective and Preventative Action screen, in the Actions tab, is there a way to remove (delete) a Line No? It is aware that it can be cancelled  but this is about removing the canceled lines completely. Regards,Nimesha
