Hi,Could somebody help me to set up the Cost Source for Posting type M42?I checked the transaction results on the accounting tab of Labor History and found that the journalized row posting type M42 was status 99 due to  not contain the cost source ID. The error description says 'There is no Cord part B value for Posting type 42 Control type C90, Company TS' The following are the set values:

Community, Does anyone know IFS Auto Reservation will consider the part revision?we are on APP10. Thank you.

We are looking at our options deploying the standard Shop Floor Workbench interface in IFS Cloud vs the app version with the command buttons.  I attached an image of the shop floor workbench app.We are going to launch in IFS Cloud 24R1, is there a way to add buttons to this interface?  I’m looking to add shop order analysis capabilities and routing operation work guideline printing capability.

If a repair shop order is created from component repair order is there any way in IFS to attach the shop order material to project inventory supply type? After that we want PMRP job to create demand for those materials. IFS does not seem to have anyway to convert consumed materials to Project Inventory.

My issue is that DOP/Configured parts manufactured costs that have setup time on routings are bouncing around based on quantity lot size.  When the cost changes for a new order of the same configuration, the shop order standard cost is updating with a new standard based on the effective date.  The result of having a standard cost associated with a quantity of 2 being applied to a different order for 672 creates a significant variance for margin calculations.  We use DOP orders for our configured parts, so our planning method is “A”.  Even though they are configured, we manufacture like parts and therefore we want to smooth out setup costs by a fixed std lot size.  I processed an item for a quantity of 1 but have the std. lot size set to 62.  When the DOP and pegged shop orders calculate cost, it is based off of a unit of 1 and not by the 62.  Is there a way to have a different denominator for setup on DOP parts for calculating costs and related standards?

Hello Community,We have a scenario where a Shop Order with a lot size of 100 pcs is scheduled using APB.For Operation 10, all 100 pcs are planned to be completed in 21 hours.Considering an 8-hour workday, the operation 10 would take roughly 3 days to complete.My question is: Where in IFS Cloud can we see the per-day planned quantity for such operations?I am looking for a way to monitor the breakdown (e.g., daily planned output) instead of only seeing the total planned hours or duration for the operation.Any guidance, best practices, or navigation tips would be highly appreciated. ​@Björn Hultgren ​@matt.watters would appreciate your input.

Good day,Is there an option in IFS Cloud to inherit the reserve/issue method in product structures from the inventory part value? Is there an mass update function available for this?

We have used the RMA process to have parts returned from the customer for a long time but would like to consider using CRO because it would allow us to bring the part in as customer owned. When using an RMA there is an RMA document created that can be sent to the customer and is also what is used by receiving to know what to receive that part back in against. I am pretty new to the CRO process, but I do not see what is used to communicate with the customer similar to how an RMA document is used? Am I missing something?

We have encountered that the "Close Operation" option in "Shop Floor Workbench" is only working when performed by User Id: IFSAPP USER However, when same action is attempted using a different user ID, with same permission grants the action is blocked by the system (Error message states user has not been granted with required permissions 

Hello,I am encountering the following error while launching the IFS standard functionality Change Rev Alt via a scheduled task that allows to update the Routing and/or Structure from a chosen DOP order in the DOP structure. I tried to add the resource in the Work Center and relaunch the batch, but I am still encountering the same issue.T tried to launch the function online from the DOP Order, but the structure is too complex and after 10 minutes I encounter an error.Do you have any idea? Thank you!

Hi All, A customer following the Concurrent Engineering process reported an issue when part numbers are changed due to new design updates while the Shop Order is in Started status. The original part is serialized, and during manual receiving, when the source of the receive, part is switched to a substitute, the system shows the error: “Substituting for a Serialized Part not allowed.”This was reproduced in both APP10 Regional Test LKP and IFS Cloud 25R1 Test CMB environments. Upon reviewing the product documentation (Receive Substitute Part page), it is clearly mentioned under the prerequisites that: “The original part should not be a serialized part.”Business Impact:In Ae

Hi All, We are experiencing an issue where we cannot cancel the shop order, which is linked to a customer order. Customer order is in invoiced/closed status. I tried to unpeg the customer order from the shop order, and I’m getting the following error.I tried to replicate the scenario in the test environment, and it was unsuccessful since I can cancel the shop order even after invoicing the customer order line.I found the following article in the community,Greatly appreciate it if you can help me find a solution for this.Thank y

Is there a way to attach multiple parts to a change request at once.  In Apps8 we could copy and paste objects.  Also, is there a way to copy multiple parts to a document at once or multiple documents to a change request..

Hi I was wondering if there was some documentation or suggestions for dealing with First Article Inspection for manufacturing on IFS. I was hoping for something that would help for implementating.Thanks  

Hello, I have noticed that with a defined discrete UoM on a part, you are still able to report and receive into inventory a fraction of a part. I do not understand how this would be possible. Would setting it to a discrete UoM not force you to report whole numbers?Calc Qty Rounding is also set at 0 on the Inventory Part record. Any guidance on understanding how this issue is occurring would be appreciated. Thank you!  

Hello,When configuring a CTO with by-products in IFS Cloud, we need an interim order to be created. However, when attempting to create the interim order, I receive the following message:“No buildable routing revision/alternative exists for part xxxx at Site on the date 2-SEPT-25.”I checked part xxxx and confirmed that the part type is set to "by-product." It does not contain a routing and/or a product structure.What could be causing this error?Kind regards,Willem

In general we don’t manufacture any of our parts.  We purchase all parts from Manufacturers.  We have situations where we know a part is “Discontinued”.Sometimes we might purchase all available parts on the market and keep them in inventory.Are their any out of the box ways to indicate parts that are at risk (Scarce).  We need to be able to identify these parts without setting them Obsoleted because we want to keep using and repairing the parts we have.But we need a way to identify the parts that fall into this category so we can be actively finding replacement options.  Understanding our risks if we have a large failure of several of these parts at the same time.

We have a customer order line connected to a project. Supply code of the customer order line is Project Inventory. We have a shop order connected to the same project and need to peg the shop order to the customer order line.Querying for the Customer Order in “Manually Pegging of Customer Order Line” produces an information message “No data found”. Can project demands not be manually pegged? If not, why?Thanks,Eric  

Hello all - I work with a manufacturing business that operates multiple legal entities and sites. To complete an order, sub-assemblies are created in India, then those sub-assemblies are transferred to a US site for final assembly and configuration before sale to the customer. We need to be able to measure our labor / OH / raw materials expense associated with each sale to measure profitability, but when the sub-assembly is transferred from the India site to the US site, it is recorded as a material purchase and we lose visibility into the composition of that cost (labor / OH / raw material / intercompany profit on transfer).Is there a way to properly configure this in IFS to maintain visibility into underlying cost on intercompany transfers? It can be done in Oracle and SAP…Any help is greatly appreciated,Jeff

Hi Everyone, I add a case of a SO where the By Products costs is over the total costs of the of the main product.IFS block the receive of the SO   What could the the set up to avoid this message, and permit to  receive the SO?

Hi,we have to evaluate to number of activities to size MSO offer.Did someone have a synthetic and clear document  / formula to calculate it?Would like to have something like :Nbre of labor class setup + nbre of labor class run + Nbre of Workcenter resources.  per operation + ….………….Thank in advance 

Client asking to get the possibilty to close the shop order while the MRB case is still being solved. I know the IFS doesn´t allow to do this, however anyone has any expirience with this issue?

Hi all,We are using Apps10 update 23 and have been asked by compliance to store ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) for some products. I cannot find a field for this use so wanted to check if anyone who uses Apps10 knows where this would be?ThanksUmar

Hi, I came across some questions in the Visual Shop Orders Planning screen in IFS Cloud. Appreciate your inputs to resolve those. Version  QuestionWhy the time line is showing only a few days in the week ? Can’t scroll back and forth to see other available days.?There are only 3 operations under this WC Resource. Why this 4th line is showing when there are no operations in that. Settings of the window/Gantt 

can you think of why on a multilevel repair shop order, after issuing the top level make part (serialized) the multilevel repair structure tab stays greyed out? I am currently experiencing this, this serial has been through a multi-level repair shop order once already to salvage some parts and now more parts need to be salvaged but its not working
