 custom field NOT SHOWING IN CRYSTAL REPORTI HAVE CREATED A NEW FIELD IN INVENTORY PART (GENERAL TAB) CALLED “CUSTOMER_NO”I WANT TO USE THIS TO CREATE A CRYSTAL REPORT THAT SHOWS INTERNAL SCRAP COSTS BY CUSTOMER. THE FIELD SHOWS UP IN IFS AND I AM MANUALLY POPULATING IT WITH THE CUSTOMER NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH THE CORRECT INVENTORY PART. HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE THE FIELD IN THE DATABSE WHEN I ACCESS IT VIA CRYSTAL REPORTS  (VERSION 2020)

Hello together,I noticed some processes in the Scope Tool I am not familiar with. Maybe you can help and explain me: Shop order parking: the customer has an customer individual production environment. He sometimes has the problem, that employees are working on a SO, but there is no components availability, so they stop working on the part and start working another SO. Question: is this a possible use case to use the function “park Shop Order”? Can you give me examples when to use the function? “10.6.8.2 Supply Chain and Manufacturing Positing Analysis” → does anybody know what this is? 13.9.5 Create Material Review Board Case → same on this, does anybody know this funtion? 10.6.6.2 “Report Indirect Time from Time Clock”: means this an (physical) time clock installed in a cutomers plant where the employees book Shop Orders by? Or is this a interface from IFS ERP system tro an external device as time clock Thank you in advance! Regards Markus

We are a manufacturing company that produces plastic pieces from injection machines. The same mold can produce several pieces simultaneously in the same injection cycle. We are searching for a best practice solution to help us planning, producing and costing each piece. The different shop orders will share the same work enter and the same mold version and be produced simultaneously. Any advice on where to start and develop a best practice solution inside IFS?

Hi all,We are exploring the Kanban functionality within IFS and created a couple of Kanban Circuits in the test environment. Initially the plan is to use the functionality to replenish material from our main warehouse to our production line storage locations.When triggering the replenishment, a transport task is created successfully, but we want this transport task to be printed out automatically. Either at the time of creation or by a background job. I’m unable to find this feature and would need some help.We are running IFS Apps 10. BR Marcus

Hi!Question from a customer who is upgrading from APP9 to IFS Cloud. Is there a way to have the setting for Default Backflush ONLY to have affect in Shop Floor Workbench and NOT in Receive Shop Order manually?The background for this question is that the customer has developed a way to work for a specific flow (injection molding) in APP9 where it is possible to set the Default backflush setting isolated to SFWB (via RMB properties => Default values for Approve operations). They do not want it to be marked by default in Manual Receive Shop Order but I haven’t found a way to prevent this in standard IFS Cloud if the Default setting is marked. It is not possible to have the Reserved/Issue Method for the components set to manual since the material is in fact backflushed when the operation time is reported when they receive info from their MES regarding how many parts that have been manufactured (every 15 mins). It can take between 4-72 hours before the parts are being received into stock

Hi All,  We are currently looking into ways of applying  Export License more user friendly. Currently when an order is created the user must RMB on the line and then enter the country code and then click “Find and Connect”, this is happening for each product that requires a license. We are experiencing some pain points on when a product does not require a license in one country, but in another country it does and the same process must be followed to have a license connected even though it is not required.  Has anyone tried to automate this process or come up with a work around that doesn’t involve so many clicks?  Thanks, Ashlyn

Currently our system is on IFS10-UPD15When a user selects a record on a lobby list element with the setting “Use data source condition” and page/BusinessActivity/Form the screen populates the form with the selected datasource data but does not select the record the user pressed on the list element. This has been misleading to the user.Should have selected this one and not the default first record Investigation trying to solve the issue with hard coding a key pass was unsuccessful.Will correctly select the record hard coded on click of a list element recordDynamically tried to pass active rowkey to the aurena form but the ‘ around the key throws an error. In our case we will proceed with creating a list element that filters to the key of the LU/entity, but it would be nice to have the record selector on the form auto select the list item the user selected on the lobby element.

Shop Order Materials behaves different in Aurena: using IEE the overview includes closed Shop Orders as well as Shop Order Lines Closed; using Aurena, the table doesn’t include items with either status.Any advice about how to make it work in Aurena the same that IEE?This table is important for tracking usage variations of the components (required vs actual).

Soon we will be changing Domains, but for a time there will be two domains active.Is there a way that both domains can be active in Azure SSO for IEE...so that users can authenticate with whichever domain?Can one be on the default tab and the other on the b2b tab in the IFS Middleware Server Admin Console settings?

HiRegarding PLM/CAD integration with IFS, could anyone kindly give me the explanation why specialized middle-ware like CADLink or CADTalk is required?Other than general ETL tool, why CAD specific tool is required?Now we are proceeding the project initiative integrating IFS with ENOVIA, and CADLink/CADTalk is said better (have to be)to be considered. But still not yet understood the reason. Regards 

Hi, how can we see in an overview which charachterics have an effect on which components? Case: After the configurator has been completed and CO is released, the customer wants to change an option he choose. We would like to see for that specific question, what effect it has on the generated structure.So if we could see the ‘component rules’ in 1 overviewable screen, that would allready help. Thanks!

We have an approval template for MRB Dispositions which has multiple steps. Step 30 should be assigned to a group but instead gets assigned to the coordinator. This has worked previously.
