We use the option to associate an outbound location to a work center. The work center is used for shop orders (both make to order and make to stock). For make to order shop orders it is not possible to receive finished goods from the work center to the outbound location unless the location is a picking warehouse type. It is not possible to receive mto shop order output in a floor stock location. Reason: in floor stock location one must not receive parts which are reserved.However, we are reluctant to define the outbound location as a picking warehouse type because then the stock on this location could become a target for reservation jobs, manual reservation, or creation of pick list.Has anyone an idea/solution for how to prevent the stock on an outbound location from reservation/creation of picklist (if the location is picking warehouse type) or alternatively how to enable the floor stock type outbound location to receive make to order parts?

Hello, Does the user have to identify every time they go out and come back to use the Shop Floor Workbench ? Customer is transitioning from Apps09 to Cloud and do not wish to do so. Currently, the identify pop-up window shows up every time they switch from SFWB to Shop Order to do some changes.  I see there is a Site wide setting to report anonymously.  But, is there another way to keep the identification to a minimum ?  

Hello, After moving to IFS 10, we are now seeing shop orders with a finish date AFTER our needed date. This did not occur in IFS 9. Any ideas on where to look that could be causing this?  Thanks

I am looking at shop order statuses daily and coming across many negative values which makes it difficult to find product and report accurately. Is there a method of restricting buyoffs in IFS if the quantity being signed off is greater than the executable quantity in that Op? See below: 6 units were never “moved” in IFS from Solder, but inspection was able to sign them off on their op in advance. This happens often when multiple kits are being worked together (which is to say, all the time). Secondary long-term question: Ideally, I would be interested to know if these three traceable data collections on op buyoffs are possible in IFS:When serialized, a data entry to input the serial number(s) being moved, maybe in the same pop-up that quantity is typically entered. In addition to or perhaps replacing our limited test analysis, and searchable after signoff. The material & lot used on that op, with a warning if the wrong consuma

We have a situation at a customer where they have a multi-level Repair Shop order that have been received and now have to be unreceived so that the purchase order receipt that the part came in with can be cancelled and the correct part added to the PO and be received.The system does not allow the unreceive of multi-level repair shop orders.What will the process be to get the item unreceived so that the Purchase Order receipt can be cancelled?Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,what is the reason for MRP Planned Demand lines in the inventory part availability planning window? There are no actual demand orders generated in the system for these lines. 

Hi,Is there a way to have a picklist generated and reported for a shop order but not have it automatically issue to the shop order? We have distinct separation between the operators who pick the stock and the operators who use the stock.We would like to have it so that the “Warehouse Team” carries out the picking and the “Operations Team” carry out the issuing to the shop order.Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, How do you make another structure the default one? Is the only way marking is as “*”?How can we phase out the *Alternate? Thanks for any input,Alina

Hello, Our business works on a project basis. We want to be able to reserve parts and track them, from procurement to production, on a project basis. So we are evaluating the possibility of working with PMRP.Where it gets complicated is that we need to purchase  for some article larger volume to take advantage of economies of scale.  With the possibility of taking into account the surplus stock in the calculation of the PMRP, our need is met. However, we are encountering a blocking problem at the purchasing level. It seems that the PMRP does not take into account the ongoing purchase orders for inventory replenishment (therefore not related to the project). The PMRP does not consider them and asks us to buy the parts, while a purchase is in progress at the general stock level. Have you encountered the problem and is there a solution? Thanks in advance for your expertise!Regards, Coralie

Hi everyone, Our quality department needs to track certain lots.For this, they need to be sent an email (for now the best option), for when the lot is issued in a shop order.The way I’m thinking of doing this is to create a custom field on Inventory Part in Stock or Lot Batch Master, and based on that, create a custom event on issues from a shop order, when this custom field is not empty. My question is if this is the best option, or if anybody sees a more efficient solution for this?Thanks,Carlos Mendes

Hi All, Our customer would like to use a Rental process for certain machines. But his machines are ‘Configurable Sales Parts’. I tried to set-up a Confirable Sales part with Sales type ‘Sales and Rental’ but this seems to be blocked by IFS. This seems rather strange that we can’t have a rental for configurable machines. What is the solution to this issue? Best RegardsRoel 

using shop order pegged materials with multilevel product structures. The top-level shop order may have 1 or more component rows that have a shop order pegged to them as supply. Those next-level shop orders may also have 1 or more component rows that have shop orders pegged, and so on.  When scheduling the orders in APB we get an incorrect plan. The problem is that neither of the 3 planning settings (Infinite, Finite, Always Finite) give us a plan in the way we would expect for these material lines, and also does not give us a reflective view of the work center capacity plan, as the demanding shop order may not schedule when set to Always Finite, schedules before the supply orders when set to Infinite or schedules far out into the future when set to Finite.

Hiwe are using IFS 7.5. The system here has been used since 2009 and never really cleaned up. We are implementing an upgrade but in the mean time we would like to tidy  these things up.We have shop orders dating back to 2009. Is there a way to mass close / delete shop orders without doing any further issuing of materials / Operations? We have done stock takes etc so don't want to impact any materials. We just want these orders to show as closed.

Hello together,is anybody familiar with customer warranty and supplier warranty?Are there special functions behind it? Thank you and regards Markus

IFS10 How do you make a native field required?

Hi, We have various shop orders with an outside operation for the same supplier. We let IFS generate the PR, and combine them manually into one PO. However, how we can quickly see the Operation Material Allocations (=components that also need to go the supplier) without looking at the Delivery note? We would like to add them to the PO if possible, or at least have an overview of every outside operation with its Operation Material Allocations. Thanks!

Hi to everyone,Environment: IFS Cloud 22R2 Looking for a solution for a machine manufacturer Topic:In case a request for a demo/rental-machine comes in, the machine has certain requirements. In many cases, an available machine needs to be adjusted to fulfill the needs of the client.For example, the customer wants to rent a configuration 1 machine, but there is only a configuration 5 in stock. Required solution:We need to define the flow how we will communicate the changes that need to be done on a machine before it can be rented out.And is it possible to issue a part with a certain configuration on a work order and return another configuration of the same part? We appreciate any help - thanks in advance!Best regards,Nadim

Hello,We are a new IFS customer and are in the process of implementing IFS Cloud 22R2.Our company does a lot of customization so we have a lot of parts that can be in all colors. In our current system, we have 1 item code and this single item has in its characteristics the color. Therefore, we can use this part in hundreds of colors, we still have only one article in our ERP.We do not find this possibility in IFS. Although it makes sense to have 1 item code for 1 color, it will generate a lot of administrative work in our company for the creation and management of all these items.Do you know a way to manage the colors of an item without having to create separate codes? Of course we need to be able to order and manage them in stock by color. Thanks in advance for your support!Regards, Coralie

We have a need to have one invoice per shipment. The problem we are having is that when we have multiple shipments for the same order or different, it combines all the shipments into one BOL and one invoice. We need one invoice per shipment per order.Our shipment type on the customer order is set to AP (add to exiting shipment) instead of NP (create new). I was wondering if that might fix the issue.

Community,  have you seen this error. when we are trying to select an Alternate Part, system prompt this error. Thank you for advice.
