Hello, Our company uses the IFS 9.4 application.Is there anyone who has experience with PDM–ERP integration on IFS or who has done this before? As part of our planned integration, we want to automate the following processes:Automatically updating material revisions made in PDM as engineering revisions on the IFS side Automatically transferring the product tree (BOM) from PDM to IFS Automatically creating inventory cards in IFS from PDMWe would like to discuss the details with anyone who has experience in these areas or would like to share their thoughts.You can contact me via LinkedIn:👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/muzaffer-%C3%A7okaslan-60477121a/ Thank you in advance. Best regards,Muzaffer Çokaslan

Hello All, I have created custom lov where I created the LOV to display its ID and Description, The lov works fine shows up in Order report when report is run from application as well it shows when running from BR, only issue is the description, the description shows up in the report when ordering from IFS application but it does not show when I view from BR report. The report is currently developed from APPS10 environment.

Why does the system allow issuing a quantity greater than what is defined in the Repair Action (Add)? Shouldn’t this be restricted to avoid mismatches between the consumed quantity for the repair and the as-built structure revision generated at MLRSO receipt? Environment – IFS Cloud 24.1Create and release an MLRSO for a serial-tracked repair part. In Shop Order → Materials, issue the component part representing the repair part. Go to Shop Order Multilevel Repair Structure, select the repair part node, and add a repair action: Define a serial-tracked part (Quantity = 1), select a repair reason, and confirm. Return to Shop Order → Materials, then: Reserve Quantity = 2 of the component part using Manual Reservation. Issue both reserved serials using Manual Issue. From the shop order header, perform Manual Receive: Enable Auto Report Operations, create a record in Serial Inventory Rece

I want to trigger a workflow when a new batch is added in PartLotBatch. Currently, I'm using a projection to trigger this workflow, specifically PartLotBatchHandling, with the trigger type being "Create New." However, when I test by creating a batch number in a shop order, the workflow isn't triggered, and there are no records in the observation in ‘Watch’. How can I trigger this workflow?Furthermore, the workflow includes an update activity that updates a custom field in PartLotBatch. I think I need to select a projection that can trigger the workflow before I can use that projection for the update operation.

Hi all,We have a requirement to apply dual sourcing through the product structure:two different but interchangeable components that should be used in, for example, a 50/50 ratio.Using phase in/phase out doesn’t seem like a good solution, because shifting schedules cause new purchase requisitions to move from product A to product B within the lead times.Dual sourcing via Purchasing isn’t possible either, because the two components are physically different items and therefore must be procured as separate components.Does anyone have a suggestion on how this could be handled within standard IFS Cloud?Thanks in advance!

Hello all Wondering if there is possible way to get Auto Report Operations Option when closing shop order from Shop Order / Shop OrdersHere is an picture from approval/receiving shop order dialog from shop floor workbenchHere is the picture from shop order/shop orders, want the Auto Report Operations on shop order level also    

Hi,Could someone please clarify the usage of the “Auto Replace to Alternate upon Reservation” toggle in the Inventory Part?I have enabled this option and confirmed that it is reflected in the Alternate Component. However, after creating Shop Orders and testing multiple scenarios, I’m unable to observe any behavioral difference when the toggle is enabled versus disabled.Could you please explain in which scenarios this option takes effect, or let me know if there are any specific prerequisites or conditions to be met for it to work as expected?Thank You. 

Hi all, On the dispatch list in the shop floor workbench I would like to have the dop header nr visible. Anyone knows how to make this value visible in the shop floor workbench? With or without a CRIM item. Kind regards. Willem  

Community,Wondering what is the best option for customer component repair, Work order or Shop Order?We are using APP10, Products are manufactured in house and ship to customer. If customer had issues with the product, it will be transport back to our shop floor.Question: will CRO applied to our scenario? Repair shop order or Work Order, which one is better? we do have both 2 modules installed. if no CRO, which is the best option to bring the customer products back to our site with customer owned ownership?Thank you.

Why does the Alternate Module not contain the same Position Parts as the Prime Module, given that it was not created as a separate template? Should it not inherit the Position Parts from the Prime Module in this case?

Hello Team,Has anyone encountered a similar situation? If so, please share any workaround solutions or decisions you made to address it.We are working with an aerospace customer whose product structure exists approximately ten levels. Occasionally, a component used three levels down in the structure is rejected on a shop order. Our standard process functions efficiently when a rejection occurs at the shop order material line level; however, complications arise when a component deeper within the multilevel structure to be rejected—such as when a part malfunctions during final assembly operations, despite being accepted during respective manufacturing shop order.How do we manage such rejections in the final shop order, and what impact does this have on the build-tracked structure? Please

(Cloud) Is there a function where there is routing operations logic? What we are seeing is when we run the Advanced Planning Board (ABP), is that our operations are not scheduling directly after each other once the previous operation is completed. For example,We have Tool T1473 that has 2 instances (1733 and 1744)Our Routing is setup 10 (Prep)- Uses Tool T147320 (Mix) - Uses Tool T147330 (Cure) - Uses Tool T147340 (Remove supports)- Uses Tool T147350 (Test) - No Tool usedWork Center is all the same (expect 50) with 1 Resource And what I’m seeing is that during scheduling, the tool jumps from one tool instance to another tool instance instead of keeping with the same instance. And then also it starts Op 40 days later after Op 30 is done. Is t

Hi all, Is there a possibility in IFS cloud to enrich the pegged shop order number with the dop header number? E.g dop header number is 15, all pegged shop orders will start with 15-…Kind regards, Willem 

Why does the Shop Order Tracked Structure not display correctly in all situations in the Shop Floor Workbench (Dispatch List → Tracked Structure tab) when using the Show commands, sometimes showing “No data” even though all component parts are assigned?  Create a shop order with Order Type = Manufactured for a serial-tracked part.  a. Ensure the serial-tracked part includes component parts that are serial- and/or lot/batch-tracked.  Release the shop order.  Reserve all components.  Navigate to the Shop Order Tracked Structure page and verify that all component parts are assigned.  Navigate to the Shop Floor Workbench.  Open Shop Floor Workbench → Dispatch List → Tracked Structure tab.  Execute Show → Assigned Components. 

Hi all,  Question about KanBan circuits. When automatic KanBan circuits are created, automatically a kanban card is created. As far as I understand this card is not being used, correct? What is the purpose this card is created?Seems to me it would be more logical a card would be automatically created when a electronic kanban circuit is created, because in this kanban type a card is needed.  Kind regards, Willem

Hello.We have a shop order in which the revision is outdated despite the shop order is not yet over, how can we update its revision?ThanksIFF APPS 10 UPD 5

Hello.We have a trouble about the product status field in the inventory part screen.The revision 3 is the current one, but the product status is still set to “not in effect” and it should be “in effect” : The status is actually set to buildable : Any solution?Thanks

Hello,Is it possible to hide items on the Operation Guide assistant of Shop Floor Workbench? It is possible for th main Form using Page designer, but I didn’t find how to make the same modification in the Guide.  

Our assembly process requires in-house painted parts.  But historically our paint process has been outside of IFS.  Sometimes we paint a full product, sometimes we paint the front of a product, so we’d like to track the ‘painted’ surface area on each part that is painted.Where would be the recommended fields to keep this information stored within IFS?

Hi all,We are setting up a Kanban Reorder Point Request Schedule that runs at a defined interval.Sometimes, however, a shortage or internal shortage (e.g., stock not available at the correct supply location) can occur.This may only be discovered during production.Is there a standard way in IFS Cloud to: Alert users proactively when such a shortage situation arises or other error without checking every time the background job results? Perhaps a message when a  Kind regards,Willem

Hi all,I have a question regarding internal logistics during Shop Order execution.In some cases, WIP needs to be physically moved by logistics between two Work Centers between two operations on the same Shop Order. Is there a standard functionality in IFS Cloud to: Trigger internal logistics that WIP is ready to be moved? Generate a transport task is not possible because it is WIP, but another signal or other notification to inform warehouse/logistics staff that something needs to be transferred between operations? Kind regards,Willem

Hi all,When I release a DOP order, a Shop Order is automatically created. However, in some cases, this Shop Order immediately gets the status “Completely Reported” .I’ve noticed that in the originating DOP order, all material lines have a required quantity of 0.Also: Netting is not used in this case The required quantity for the manufactured part is set to 1 in the upper level of the structure Has anyone experienced this before or knows which setting or condition could cause this behavior?And more importantly, how can this be prevented?Kind regards,WillemLevel 1  required qty for the part wherefor i expect a shop order is created= 1: Level 2 all materials lines for the sub assembly for which a shop order is created in the status com

For Cloud 24R1+, I am looking for a comprehensive list of what functions/commands can be executed by Part Cost Group.For example, I can use PCG in the function Update Part Specific Overheads to control which parts to include in the function.In what other functions is Part Cost Group available as a selection?
