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

In project connection screen,  the system connection checkbox is not checked for a purchase order.  Is there a way to toggle that as a system connection?

Why does GL Balance Analysis always not matching Shop Order Work in Progress Report?

We have a customer on 22R1 UPD6 who has purchased the shop order module, but not QUAMAN.If they go to the Shop order operations page for planned shop orders, they can invoke the command  menu Operation Split/Split and the dialog pops up.But when they go to the Shop order page/Operations tab and Operations List, the command Operation Split/Split dialog does not popup.Is it a necessity to install QUAMAN to be able to use Operation Split/Split from the Shop order page/Operations tab and if it is not installed, is it expected functionality for the Operation Split/Split not to display the Shop order split assistant? 

Is there a possibility to send emails to users directly from IFS? Not automated emails but sent manually. Preferably also with the possibility to target users with specific user roles in the system.

Hi, We use Employee mode as shop floor reporting setting, and the shop floor workbench.We created a dummy users, which acts as a workcenter. That way, when the operator goes to the PC connected to the workcenter, he immediatly sees which operations can be performed. We connected the filter to the dummy user.However, when we then use the ‘Identify’ button to let IFS know which operator is working, the filter is lost and needs to be choosen manually again. We tried to set the correct one as a favorite so it’s on top if the list, but we still need to select it.Is there a solution for this?We want that on the screen attached to the workcenter, only the operation planned on that workcenter are visible. The operator should easily identify himself, select the operation and start it.

In the screen “inventory part”, we have a field “cumulated counting difference”; is it possible to have it per period? Or reset it every year?

Our users have noticed that in order to view analysis results in Aurena (Apps 10) that they have to go from the Shop Order to the Analysis for the shop order and they have to click on each individual line to see the results. Is there not an overview that will show analysis results in Aurena? Shop Order Analysis Result makes you drill into each Analysis Result Line to see the result. There is no column that I can pull the result into this table view.IEE there is a screen called “Analysis Results - Shop Order”. From here, users can see and enter ALL results for a particular shop order. 

Is there an option to undo the status change to Obsolete of an Engineering Part Revision.If not, what is the actual reason this is not possible?Steve

IFS 9 Update 14I have been trying to use a SQL query to return a part_no value for the Source Key Name in a custom menu, without success.  Is this possible and does anyone have an example?My specific case is to open Inventory Part with part_no retrieved from tbwShipmentLines_Cust, which does not have part_no immediately available.  Trying to use this qry:SELECT PART_NO FROM CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE WHERE CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_NO = SHIPMENT_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_NO AND CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE.LINE_NO = SHIPMENT_ORDER_LINE.LINE_NO AND CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE.REL_NO = SHIPMENT_ORDER_LINE.REL_NO 

Hello,Is there a way to deactivate or activate the ‘Expand’ Button in the Selector column of Engeneering Part Navigator? 

I have a scenario where standard costing/cost per part is used in three sites. They might manufacture some of their sub-assemblies in another site than the manufactured site, and the sub-assemblies of that sub-assembly can also be manufactured in another site. Site 1 - Top partSite 2 - SFG 01 (Child of Top Part)Site 3 - Sub 02 (Child of Sub 01) Sub 02 might also have further sub-assemblies in other sites.When doing cost calculations, assuming multi-site costing is set up to pick from the Specified Cost set (Cost Set 02), and in a scenario where I perform Cost Set 02 calculations daily: On Day 01, All values will be correct, assuming all cost sets are updated.On Day 01, after calculation, if estimated material values get updated for components of Sub 02 in Site 03.On Day 02, Calculation of Top Part would pick the inter-site cost from Site 2 1st, whereas Site 2 still needs to be updated. When we do the site 02 calculation now, it will still pick the wrong value if Site 3 cost set 2 was n

Can anyone explain how Apps9 calculates the next count date? I’ve an example below that I can not fathom out how it has calculated it. Receipt Date is 27/10/2021, Last Activity Date is 11/01/2022 and Next Count Date is 31/03/2023 - the cycle interval is set at 360 (our aim is counted once a year).  

The latest documentation on Intraday Planning with Master Scheduling reads as:When a part with this setting enabled is master scheduled, the demand and planning time fences are shifted one day earlier. I.e. if you have 0 as demand time fence, current day is considered outside the demand time fence with this setting enabled and within the demand time fence with this setting disabled.This is either written incorrectly or the system is not behaving as designed.Version 22.2.1Observed behavior:With DTF = 0 and Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date = NO Run MS 1 Calc on 12/7 DTF = 12/7 (current day = DTF) With DTF = 0 and Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date = YES Run MS 1 Calc on 12/7 DTF = 12/6 (current day is inside DTF)

The latest Cloud documentation for this reads:First the shop orders for the parts with the highest low level is reviewed. Then it continues with the next level, and then the level after that until all levels have been reviewed.The phrase ‘highest low level’ is ambiguous. If my list consist of parts with low levels 2, 3, and 4, which one is the highest, 2 or 4? 2 is the highest looking at it from a structure perspective, while 4 is the highest value.If this is a bottom-up approach, e.g., starting with parts at level 4, then moving up to 3 , then 2 and so on, could this be written simply as being a ‘bottom-up’ method? If it is a top-down approach, then the same applies.

Hello Everyone, While reserving the 48X40X30-CRATE-PARTS product on a shop order, the system shows the following Information Message and will not allow me to reserve the required quantities to the shop order:“The requested quantity of availability check enabled component part 48X40X30-CRATE-PARTS for shop order 25774-*-* could not be reserved.  The availability check shows there are not enough supplies to satisfy the existing demands if reservation is done….”There are 84 crate parts available per the Inventory Part Availability Planning screen and I only need Qty 4 to fulfill the shop order. Seems like the system is requiring more to be ordered before it will allow me to reserve what is available. Can someone explain what is happening here.  Is there a workaround in place to handle this issue? Thanks,Rick Messina  

We will be performing our Annual Inventory for the first time since going to IFS Aurena. Is there a best practice for doing annual inventory? From what I found, it seems like IFS is designed around continuous cycle counting instead of the Annual Inventory. What is your experience?

We are having issue releasing a CRO Repair to Shop Order  The following error keeps popping up  However, The Manufacturing Structure Alternate has been setup for the part.   Does anyone know what we might be missing? Thanks,Jelilat

Hi All,  Our shipping team using consolidated pick list to pick what is needed for our shipments. They will run consolidated pick list through out the day for shipments to pick and complete shipments. We have noticed that when an order has a qty reserved that is not the full qty, it will be added to the pick list and shipment for what is reserved. Then if the reminder is reserved throughout the day/night, the reminder will be automatically added to the shipment. However when the next pick list is run, it does not pick up what has been reserved to that shipment. For example, a line has an order qty of 50, 25 are reserved right away and 25 are not available, the consolidated pick list is run and the intial 25 get added to the shipment. Next the reservation job runs again and the next 25 become available and reserve to the order. The next 25 are then added to the shipment, but do not print out at the next consolidated pick list run. Is there a way to pull in that 25 to show they need pick
