We have recently purchased some new Equipment that comes with a 2 Year Warranty from the OEM. We want to set up in IFS the Warranty Terms so we can ensure that any repair work conducted within the Warranty Period can be identified and submitted to the OEM as a Warranty Claim. Can any one provide some direction / documentation on how to set up Warranty on Serial Objects so we can trace repair work?Thanks in advance

Hi, there is a question I need to discuss about Standard Operations and where and how they are used to create Operations. I’m sure I can referenced or copy a Standard Operation in Routing.However my question is: When I add a Standard Operation in the Operations tab of the Shop Order do I have the option to "copy" or "referenced" the operation or is this functionality ONLY available in Routing? I hope someone can clarify my doubt. Thank you

Hi.I have a customer that have differences between the estimated and actual cost. In fact, the shop order actual cost is retrieving work center cost and labour class cost when these data in IFS are zero (I checked all the work centers and labour class). The inventory parts are valued at “Cost Standard” but never the cost set 1 was copied on any of them.Has anyone ever had this problem?Actual cost:Inventory part: Routing: Some Work centers Labor and Operation History 

We have high forecasted demand for many parts on several work centres in January 2024, with these requisitions resulting in an overload on these work centres. We are not able to increase capacity on these work centres. We have available capacity in October, November and December where we could produce them in advance. We have planning time fences of maximum 20 days for the manufactured parts. Ideally we would want the available capacity to be filled pulling forward any requisitions that overload the work centres in January. Some of the purchased components in the product structures have long lead times and will need to be ordered in July for production in October. What possibilities do we have to do this without manually pulling forward and creating shop orders for October, November and December and without using order gap time? 

What permission is needed to print custom fields in an Operation Crystal Report? We have multiple operational reports printing using Crystal reports but we cannot print custom data fields. If the report view has joins to _TAB sources, all fields will print through Crystal. IF we change a join source to _CFV because we have custom data to print, nothing prints or is visible. The data is visible in the report view but not in Crystal. It is visible using the Crystal report editor but when run from Order reports the data is not visible, blank.Is there a permission that needs granted? 

When you create a shop order pick list it adds all reserved parts onto it. Is there a way to be more selective about which lines are include?  (We don’t want to pick the entire shop order immediately) TIA, Chris.

Hello Community, How can phantom part be easily recognized in the system?Do we have to check the Inventory Part Planning Data - Planning Method or is there another way?Thank you,A.

Hi,Is Visual Shop Orders Planning page exist in IFS Cloud 22R2? Because when I search for it, I couldn’t find it.Thank you

Does anyone have any info/documentation/knowledge, please, on Transaction Revaluation Events?  We’re in Apps9, running weighted average costing. This is an OOREC/Receipt of Shop Order transaction for a Shop Order connected to a Project.  It’s the first time we have manufactured the part.  I don’t think that’s partiularly relevant as there are other OORECs with Reval Events on parts we have manufactured multiple times.   The total cost of the shop order is the 3506.86 (3336.46+170.4) and the part’s current inventory value is 3506.86.  The part was subsequently issued at 3506.86.  Material Cost on the SO was 2086.59, Op Cost was 1420.27.  Why did it not just OOREC at 3506.86?  Where does this 3336.46 come from?   I’m sure the answer will be blindingly obvious …  Thanks in advance!

We currently reserve shop orders to be picked  and issued,  we have multiple stores people carrying out this task and we would like to see the User Id of the stores person who has reserved stock , this then will allow user to search for their User Id in Inventory Part in Stock Reservation window and export out an equivalent picking list of what is reserved, as this screen shows Stores Location.  I hope this would be as simple as a custom field and someone may guide me on how to do this. 

Hello, I am finding that we are not using MS Level 0 parts in our system. We are using MS Level 1 parts as top level parts instead of components. Is there anyone else out there that does this in IFS? It’s my understanding that Level 0 is supposed to be Top Level while Level 1 is components. What are the problems that could arise from using IFS this way? Thanks!

I’m wondering if there is a way to compare two Engineering Part Revision “consists of” structures, prior to transferring to site.  

Hello all, Hello,Just a simple question. Can someone explain to me why it is not possible to have an MRP k type item in an estimate. RegardsLaurent

I cannot seem to find the qty of by-products received into the inventory in shop orders screen.Is there a way we can have a breakdown of by-products received for each shop order.

Hi,our customer has the following requirements.They have 3-Site, for example:ABCHe create an “Engineering Part” with “Provide Code” and “Product Structure”, for example:“Part Number”  = 1212“Provide Code” = MakeThe next step would be “Engineering Revision Transfer Action”.The “Part Type” per Site are:A = ManufacturedB = Purchased (raw)C = is not needed For Site A with “Part Type” “Manufactured” it does the transfer.For Site B with “Part Type” “Purchased (raw)”  it does not  the transfer! This is the Error message, I understand that, but this situation exists and I think not only in this company. Is there a way to transfer a “Engineering Part” with “Part Type” manufactured and “Product Structure” as a “Purchased (raw)” Part?Would appreciate a timely response, thank you in advance for your assistance.BR,Milanko

Hi, The default setting for ‘DOP pegged SO update’ (Inv part - manufacturing tab) is “Planned”. For parts with the supply type “Requisition”, this can not be changed to “Released”. If I make a DOP with full level settings, i get pegged shop orders after netting and releasing (assuming I don’t have stock). Also for parts with the supply type “Requisition”. I want to update these shop orders if they are in released status, however due to the setting above I cannot do this: I first need to go to all DOP orders and change the setting there to overrule the setting on inventory part.This is very time consuming in large DOP structure. Is there a faster way to change this for every part?

Community, do you know IFS support below scenario.We would like IFS for some inventory parts, when goods receiving, will tell the receiver where the parts are needed, and can issue to the demand(shop orders or projects) immediately.Thank you.

both IEE anf cloud as ı want to create a version of an estimate; ı create the version; ı can see in deliverables. but when ı include the version, the connection between the version and the opportunity disappeared. ıcannot update the opprtunity with this new version.

Hello,I would like to integrate IFS with a banking web service. I have been provided with the documentation, WSDL address for the SOAP service, and a PFX key for communication with the bank.I have already set it up in the SOAP UI testing application. Now, I am trying to do it in IFS. The bank provides services in the ISO20022 standard, which is supported by IFS. However, I am unable to handle HTTP SOAP in IFS. Perhaps someone has already implemented this with the communication keys. How should I proceed?Thank you.Best regards

Hello Community -We are on Apps10 update 17.  This subject has been discussed before but I do not see any good solutions so I am looking for options.  A challenge we have with our raw materials inventory is where the total inventory (in feet for example) is correct but this total may be made up of multiple pieces of varying lengths that are not suitable for the inventory demand.  Does anyone have a good process of tracking this in IFS?

Hi, I am wondering if there is an ability to split an existing lot number into two lot numbers? So example would be that we have a part that is 25 linear meters in length, lot number 123. I now want to create a new lot number 234 for 10 linear meters whilst reducing 123 to 15. Is there a transaction or method to achieve this in IFS? Thanks 

Community, IFS picking list is in PDF format, and our user hate it. they would like it to be in excel format.is it possible to do it in APP10? Thank you.

Hi All, We are looking into using the Change Management system in Cloud in collaboration with the Doc man system. Is there a way of setting up internal IFS chasers when action hasn’t been taken (i.e management approval of change) for something like 7days?Any advice would be appreciated! Kind Regards,Alex
