I cant seem to find a way to wrap a column header in an element on a lobby. I the idea is that once in Aurena, we have to do a full screen on it. Does anyone know? Ex.  I want to do have the whole column show up wrapped up. Like in Excel, you could use “wrap Text”

I need some help.Our company is currently purchasing a 6ft piece of insulation (UOM Each) to be cut into smaller pieces. We have the smaller pieces set up as part numbers with a UOM of Each and we know the relationship of the smaller piece to the larger piece (i.e 1x 3ft piece = 0.5x 6ft piece). We have multiple sizes and we know the way to best optimize the cutting of the insulation to reduce the scrap. We want to be able to set up product structures so that shop orders can be automatically created based on the optimized cutting patterns. Any thoughts on how we can do this? We are currently at a lost so any ideas would be helpful

Hello,Checking if this is correct in our version IFSAPP9.The PO order quantity was reduced manually by the buyer after partial receipt to match the quantity received, but neither the PO header nor the line item closed automatically. Both had to be closed manually by the manager.Is it because of the manual change in the PO qty after the receipt?Normally, for us, when the quantity received is equal to the PO quantity, the PO line and the header closes automatically. Angelo DiSipio

Dear IFS users If a By-Product is received from a Shop Order by mistake, is there any way to reverse it?In this case it was received as a Project item and transfered back and fort between Project and Standard Inventory, if that makes any difference.Thanks for your input.

When trying to sequence shop orders based on characteristics having multiple operations, a large number of the operations gets unscheduled with the error message IDI_SCHED_INFO_500. The operation we’re sequencing on is a later operation, but the operation getting the error message is a prior operation in the operation list. There is no explanation of the error message so it’s impossible to understand what happens - anyone seen this error or can anyone check in the APB code to see what triggers it? It happens in APPS10, update 13

Hi, can the issue-ing of the materials be linked to starting the shop order operation in the shop floor workbench? We would like that when the operator hits the start button, all reserved materials are issued so they get into WIP. Without the operator needing to press ‘issue all’ Thank you!

Hello Community,I have a question regarding the ‘does not contain’ function (!~)in the search field.For example, apply search on the “Note” field in the ‘Change Orders’ window and search !~any text (!~YYY).Is this give records that do not contain the relevant text (YYY) and records that have empty notes? Or only records do not have relevant text (YYY).What is the exact logical function in search to get records that do not have the word and records which have empty notes? (!~YYY  or  !~YYY;<>).Thank You!

Community,May I know how to use below Additional Tab in window Engineering Part Revision? 

I have a customer who wants to create a fixed/ level loaded plan based on forecast, i.e. a set quantity every day/. They were originally manually loading all shop orders instead of using requisitions, but this presented problems when the shop orders were late and had to be re-scheduled. One idea was to use master scheduling with a rate by period… with then a future dated material requisition to create enough demand to allow the requisitions to fill every day.The problem I have is that the rate by period seems to create an MPS suppy irrespective of whether I have actual supply from firmed orders, as per the example below where I have shop orders for 14, on several days, but MS still suggests I make another 14, meaning 28 per day. If I convert those requisitions to shop orders and re-run ms it will ask me to make another 14.

Hi Community!Is there any restriction in terms of licensing model that we want to use for the IFS deployment?For this project we already have full use licenses and would like to be able to have an access to the database for multiple reasons - which is not possible in embedded mode.Please advise,J

Hi, we are trying to investigate what kind of information the “automatic availability check” function is generating and where it can be seen? I usually check the availability on a shop order with the function “run availability check” and if there is an availability problem this is shown in my “planning alert” question on my start page.Now when we are trying the automatic availability check when releasing a shop order that we know will not have the material on planned start date, why is this not shown in the planning alerts? 

Hi,Is it possible to create a default value for a persistent custom field? I want to add the date (sysdate) automatically when a new line is created in the CF. I tried to create one myself with an PL / SQL Expression but when I’m trying to synchronize it’s not possible. See below.  Also, is it possible to make the field not editable before the line is saved? See below example with user. This is also created as a persistent custom field which auto fetch the user_id. However, it’s possible to change. We would like to remove the editing option in the field. Meaning the user id is auto filled automatically with no possibility to edit. 

Community, We have an engineering structure, for example, below MAKE part A, MAKE part B, BUY part C. in Released status.A----------------Rev 0    B-------------Rev 0      C----------Rev. 0  now Engineering team is upgraded part C Rev.0 to Rev.1 and they use parameter REPALCE_REVISION = 3 replaced it into the product structure. now the structure looks like below.A -------------Rev 0    B-----------Rev 0        C-------Rev 1 my question is, what is the best way to monitor this change. since product A revision remains 0. Does IFS has a report?Thank you.

Hi Team,Hope I am reaching the correct team, else pls move this to correct product area.I have customer going to map their quality process in Aps10. Basically they use NCR and CAPA. In their previous application, they managed to map the containment actions also within NCR\CAPA flow. What is meant by containment is that the actions they take to contain the current situation after a customer reports a Nonconformance. Such as Replace the defected part/object or isolate it.I could not find any place in IFS NCR or CAPA that I can map this. Has someone come up this scenario and handled?. Can I consider this also as a Disposition action ?. Have I missed anything. Your ideas highly appreciated.Regards,Roshan

Hi, During receipt of a part, the engineering part revision was manually changed. We want to sent the part back to the supplier, but it gives an error which we assume is because this engineering part revision change. Is there a way to change the engineering part revision back, so we can do the return to supplier? Thank you!

Hi,what is the reason for MRP Planned Demand lines in the inventory part availability planning window? There are no actual demand orders generated in the system for these lines.  

If the Engineering Part Provide Code is "Buy" when you try to transfer it, always set it to Purchase Raw and Purchase Raw transfer template. Is there a way that I can set the default to pick the Purchase transfer template instead of the Purchase Raw transfer template?  I can change manually at the Transfer windows, but when you have a large number of parts this is not practicle. 

In IFS Cloud version, for the control plans using acceptance sampling parameters, is it possible to select, in the control plan lines, another start value for the switching score state, the inspection frequency and the skip lot state ?  Thanks for your help.

Hi, how can we compare the structure of 2 configurations?I’m looking for a screen like “Compare Manufacturing Structures”, but with adding an configuration ID as well. Thank you!

Hello,Orders related to the delivery order; With which sql query can I get the order_no, release_no, line_no information, the lot_batchno information of the reserved part and the reserved location_no information?Thank you

Hi, before releasing a DOP,  i would like to see and evaluate the multilevel structure using a interim order header. For configurable parts this works fine, but can’t I do the the same for a multilevel shop order which is not configured? I would like to see the same process as we would do in DOP header - create full level (so all the way down, both DOP and non DOP parts) Best regards!
