Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

I have a customer who wants to create a fixed/ level loaded plan based on forecast, i.e. a set quantity every day/. They were originally manually loading all shop orders instead of using requisitions, but this presented problems when the shop orders were late and had to be re-scheduled. One idea was to use master scheduling with a rate by period… with then a future dated material requisition to create enough demand to allow the requisitions to fill every day.The problem I have is that the rate by period seems to create an MPS suppy irrespective of whether I have actual supply from firmed orders, as per the example below where I have shop orders for 14, on several days, but MS still suggests I make another 14, meaning 28 per day. If I convert those requisitions to shop orders and re-run ms it will ask me to make another 14.Is there any way to have the rate by period take into account existing supply, as it just seems very wrong the way it works currently?Alternative suggestions for a to

Hi Community!Is there any restriction in terms of licensing model that we want to use for the IFS deployment?For this project we already have full use licenses and would like to be able to have an access to the database for multiple reasons - which is not possible in embedded mode.Please advise,J

Hi, we are trying to investigate what kind of information the “automatic availability check” function is generating and where it can be seen? I usually check the availability on a shop order with the function “run availability check” and if there is an availability problem this is shown in my “planning alert” question on my start page.Now when we are trying the automatic availability check when releasing a shop order that we know will not have the material on planned start date, why is this not shown in the planning alerts? 

Hi,Is it possible to create a default value for a persistent custom field? I want to add the date (sysdate) automatically when a new line is created in the CF. I tried to create one myself with an PL / SQL Expression but when I’m trying to synchronize it’s not possible. See below.  Also, is it possible to make the field not editable before the line is saved? See below example with user. This is also created as a persistent custom field which auto fetch the user_id. However, it’s possible to change. We would like to remove the editing option in the field. Meaning the user id is auto filled automatically with no possibility to edit. cheers!!

Community, We have an engineering structure, for example, below MAKE part A, MAKE part B, BUY part C. in Released status.A----------------Rev 0    B-------------Rev 0      C----------Rev. 0  now Engineering team is upgraded part C Rev.0 to Rev.1 and they use parameter REPALCE_REVISION = 3 replaced it into the product structure. now the structure looks like below.A -------------Rev 0    B-----------Rev 0        C-------Rev 1 my question is, what is the best way to monitor this change. since product A revision remains 0. Does IFS has a report?Thank you.

Hi Team,Hope I am reaching the correct team, else pls move this to correct product area.I have customer going to map their quality process in Aps10. Basically they use NCR and CAPA. In their previous application, they managed to map the containment actions also within NCR\CAPA flow. What is meant by containment is that the actions they take to contain the current situation after a customer reports a Nonconformance. Such as Replace the defected part/object or isolate it.I could not find any place in IFS NCR or CAPA that I can map this. Has someone come up this scenario and handled?. Can I consider this also as a Disposition action ?. Have I missed anything. Your ideas highly appreciated.Regards,Roshan

Community, below statement:A serialized part has to connected to a serialized parent part in product structure IFS. is it correct? my thought it is, if it is not, do we have a way to switch it off? Thank you.

Hi, During receipt of a part, the engineering part revision was manually changed. We want to sent the part back to the supplier, but it gives an error which we assume is because this engineering part revision change. Is there a way to change the engineering part revision back, so we can do the return to supplier? Thank you!

Hello,does anybody know how can i extend dlgDynamicLov for ProcessID in the Audit Form.Best RegardMatthias

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.  

If the Engineering Part Provide Code is "Buy" when you try to transfer it, always set it to Purchase Raw and Purchase Raw transfer template. Is there a way that I can set the default to pick the Purchase transfer template instead of the Purchase Raw transfer template?  I can change manually at the Transfer windows, but when you have a large number of parts this is not practicle. 

In IFS Cloud version, for the control plans using acceptance sampling parameters, is it possible to select, in the control plan lines, another start value for the switching score state, the inspection frequency and the skip lot state ?  Thanks for your help.

Hi, how can we compare the structure of 2 configurations?I’m looking for a screen like “Compare Manufacturing Structures”, but with adding an configuration ID as well. Thank you!

Hello,Orders related to the delivery order; With which sql query can I get the order_no, release_no, line_no information, the lot_batchno information of the reserved part and the reserved location_no information?Thank you

Hi, before releasing a DOP,  i would like to see and evaluate the multilevel structure using a interim order header. For configurable parts this works fine, but can’t I do the the same for a multilevel shop order which is not configured? I would like to see the same process as we would do in DOP header - create full level (so all the way down, both DOP and non DOP parts) Best regards!

Can’t we use below two screens to decide the status of Shop order instead of site stetting “Create SO in Planned status”What is the Functionality/ Usage of those two options 1. 2. 

Is it possible to perform a  “All Parts Cost Calculation” for multiple sites at once? We have 8 sites, all under the same company. We have one main manufacturing site that sources inventory to all the other sites (hub and spoke model). We need to periodically “rollup”/calculate standard costs for our main manufacturing site. We also want all costs to be consistent throughout all of our sites. Thus, we must roll the cost at our main site first, then all other sites to make sure the costs match.Rather then calculating [then copying to cost set 1] 8 separate times, can we perform it once for our main site and once for all (7 total) other sites?I am using IFS Aurena Apps 10 btwP.S. the Site parameter on the “All Parts Cost Calculation” screen does not allow me to use semi-colons to specific multiple values e.g. Site1;Site2;Site3,...

A lot is been issued for multiple lots. After issuance there seem to be a non-conformance. The customer would like an easy to approach to create one NCR/MRB for the entire lot.Like your feedback and similar experiences with clients ?

Hi how I can see the my shop order progress with respect to my customer order delivery date. our complete process is project based and project inventory delivery.shop orders are created from PMRP  and is any graphical presentation or planning screen is available to see the all shop order progress with respect to customer order delivery date.based on this information, user can plan or push the shop order which is lagging. thanksPramod

I’m trying to validate the Kanban Resizing calculation and when I go through it the numbers are significantly different.  We are using MS/MRP demands, I put future dates (6/1/2023 - 9/30/2023) and have the Shop Order Requisitions.  I’m using calendar days, does the Resizing use Work Days, if so what calendar is it using?  Also what Lot Size is it using, Standard?  I have a total quantity between 6/1/2023 and 9/30/2023 of 3600, the number of days is 121, Leadtime is 28, Safety stock is 0, Std Lot Size is 480.  The kanban size is 5 cards at 500.  The calculation is Number of Kanbans.  When I resize it I get 4 cards at 500, I can’t figure out how this number is generated.  Everything I try brings it down to 2 or 3 cards depending on the Daily Demand calendar I use.

Hi all,I have a problem on ms level 1 part.  After I entered customer order and ms forecast, I run ms one part. And some ms supply that within PTF turned to fixed status. Up to now all is ok however to see in detail the fixed row I right clicked on the fixed row where the ms level 1 part --> Supply and Demand page (type:ms supply) unfurtunately Supply Demand Details was inactive to click on the menu. What could be reason not to created  a shop order requisition by MS? To create shop order requisition what can I do?Thanks…

Does anyone know if there are any conditions that would create a new inventory part as “Cost Per Lot Batch”. All new inventory parts seem to get created with this set as “Cost Per Part”.I would like all my new inventory parts to be “Cost Per Lot Batch” but there doesn’t seem to be a way of setting a default or a set of conditions on Master Part that would set this to Cost Per Lot Batch for new inventory parts. There is a way to set a default for everything else in the “Cost Control” group of settings except for the Cost Level! Is that an IFS oversight?All settings seem to result in “Cost Per Part”. I don’t really want to go in and change every single new inventory part that’s created. But that’s what I am currently doing.Only solution I can think of is a custom event to change it to “Cost Per Lot Batch” for new inventory parts.Thanks! 

Hello all, I have two unique part numbers that run through the same work center. The two parts are very similar in look, and we would ideally like to prevent them from being schedule to run back to back.  I have not been able to find anything in the help section of IFS (apps 10) that would indicate there is functionality to address this. Any guidance would be appreciated!
