Hello all, I have noticed some behavior with my IFS Aurena saved search. I am attempting to create a saved search in the Shop Floor Reports screen where the Created By User excludes our shop floor terminal accounts. I created the does not end with and used the shop floor naming convention with the wildcard. This does return the correct values, but when I save the search, it drops that parameter. I have no idea why it’s doing that. I have the same search saved in IEE (Apps 10 UPD 12) and it works fine. During save:When I run the search, the field is returned blank.I’m not familiar enough with Aurena to understand why it would do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Does IFS V7 do picking on a FIFO basis?  Are there any configurable controls on this version?  (I know that the latest version of IFS covers this but need to know specifically for IFS V7).

I am trying to understand UNISS. I know it un-issues material issued for a Shop order, but how come it doesnt have any posting controls?? It has direction- “-”.

Can anyone share a document on what are the cost elements and how the cost is calculated for Manufacturing part. 

Environment: App8 IEE Steps followed:1. Navigate to 'Receive Shop Order' Window.2. Search for an Order.3. In the 'HU Handling' section set 'Qty To Report' as ‘1’.4. Save the Order.5. After saving the order, it takes around 120 seconds to save the record.6. Normally it takes around 4 - 5 seconds for this execution. Outcome: In the 'HU Handling' section set 'Qty To Report' as ‘1’ and Save the Order. It takes around 120 seconds for the execution in Customer’s Production Environment. It takes around 5 seconds for the execution in Customer’s other environments. Please help to resolve this issue.

Hi @majose and others!We have been trying to figure out a way to "freeze" a std cost for sub-assembly when calculating a new parent part, but haven’t been successful. I have also searched the community for similar questions without result.It would be very valuable for us to find out if there is a way to achieve this, or if not, if it is in the IFS future roadmap to look into the possibility. Since IFS Idea Wall vanished I haven’t seen a new place to register ideas for future enhancements, but perhaps one exists?Scenario is as follows:Part A: Sub-Assembly with material & operation cost, Std cost is calculated and defined for the period (year) 31 Dec. In February, the routing is changed but std cost is not updated as that shall be valid for the whole year.In Mars, a new Part B is released and contains part APart B has material & operation cost.Part B shall be calculated and a std cost shall be set for Part B BUT the std cost for Part A shall not be changed when the calculation is

When receiving a by product of repair type shop order we don't need to issue any material and can be received the by product after releasing the shop order. Is this the standard behavior or any reason for this?

Hi, We face a strange issue. On the Purchase Order Line the Revision No = 5: On the Receipt goods the Revision is 4: Is it possible to find out what the cause for the above is?

We are using control plan for purchasing receipt inspection, there is option to trigger type of manual with help document description like below:Manual - This is not triggered by any existing value in the system, instead it can be used to create custom defined triggering points and connect them to this trigger type.Given the above help description, we still don’t know how to and where to create this custom define triggering. Is there further instruction and support document for help? Thanks a lot.Semon

Hey guys, My first post here so please let me know if I’ve posted in the wrong thread or missed any information required to explain my issue in greater detail. When running MRP, you have a dialog box that has the option to run CRP alongside in a tick box, I tick this but the data seems to be missing from CRP, or it doesn’t actually run possibly?We have to wait until the system automatically runs CRP overnight until we can see any changes made in MRP, reflected in CRP. Is there any way around this, other than just having to wait it out? Kind regards,Martin.

Releaseb. Reserve supplier materialc. Ship supplier materiald. Register arrivale. Receipt purchase order c) For the purchase part, Inventory transaction history window > observe Receipt of purchase order (ARRIVAL) transaction > Cost details tab Why the Inventory cost & fetched cost buckets are different from calculated part cost?

Hello TeamI apply a certain Template ID to one item code per process and change status to “Active”, but when go back to check “Template-where used”, I can find nothing, and go to that item code’s control plan, the “Template ID” is empty as well. Is there any step being missed, or any other setting need to do? can someone help to pick up and have feedback. ThanksSusan  

We have an inventory of a manufactured part, Part A.  We sell this part as Part A at one price and as part B at a different price (not sure why but...).Can this be accomplished with versioning or some kind of “also known as” part number?The inventory cost and reporting would be for Part A.Essentially, we want to sell the goods so that both Part A and the AKA Part B pull from the same inventory, just different sales prices. 

Hi IFS Community!In Inventory Part In Stock it is not possible to move a part to a new location which contain the same part with a later expiration date. See below images.The error code is ‘Expiration date may not be later than from-locations exp.date.’.Is it possible with standard IFS to ‘exclude’ this rule? Maybe on a warehouse or location level set a parameter where expiration date is equal to location?Thanks!Br  

Hi,When a Repair shop order (Internal repair) or purchase order (External repair) was created through a Disposition shop order in MRO process, this repair shop order will be connected to assembly side of the MRO interim order structureRecently observed that some of the repair shop orders were not connected as above explainedWhen I check the MRO interim order it is in released state parent interim order number also available (where it should be connected to the structure). However, these interim orders were not connected to assembly tree structureI checked if there are any records in the Disconnected Repair Orders tab, but I could not find any records of above explained RSOs, which means they were not disconnected manuallyWhen this issue was investigated technically, we identified MRO interim order data was deleted from backend table while manually disconnected RSO data was still available Any reason why this occurs Thanks
