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 sh

Version 22.2.1I have an operation for which no signoffs are required on a subtask. In Card View, though, there are icons that can be misinterpreted that a sign-off is required. Why are these visible? 

Hi ,Any user manual / process details for maintaining tools in IFS.(shop order tools issue for operations, purchasing process of tools etc) Thank you.

We are currently using cloud managed services, 22R1.I have an inventory part that I would like to keep the part number (is used in our integrated batch management software in  many different recipes).The part was migrated as uom of OZ.  We would like it to be GAL.Can this be accomplished by doing a part revision?  

for our manufactured parts - wondering if there is a solution or what have others done to calculate net weight on parts.   We need to calculate this information for Bill of Lading / shippingthese parts have product structures and all of the components have a net weight - seems like a straightforward operation

Community,  We would like to implement a new form(see attached) in manufacturing and I was wondering if IFS had any modules already built in that accommodates: Deviation: Approval to build product different than officially released, unit the BOM/prints are updated and released. Waiver: Approval to ship a specified number of units that have a mismatch on a Print/Spec/BOM.

Hi! I’d like to ask is there any way to pass two parameters from Bar Chart (First lobby) to Bar Chart (Second Lobby)? This navigation below works only for DEPARTMENT parameter 

I saw another topic abut loading Engineering Parts and their structure.Maybe the attached migration jobs (4 including a group that is prepared).Two jobs are for loading data (engineering part and the other for the structure).Two other jobs are for importing the loaded data.The jobs have been prepared for an early IFS version, but can be imported in an IFS22R1 environment.It is up to you to check them, expand them. No warranties from my side.

It is today possible to define an Outside Operation Items with a price equal to zero. This can defiantly be fine as a start since it might be so that the price isn’t known but shipping of the parts to the outside operation supplier needs to be done.However when register arrivals there needs to be a possibility to setup a Zero Cost Forbidden since the price of the Outside Operation Items has a direct impact on the shop order WIP. As it works now there is nothing that prevents register arrivals of the Outside Operation Items with the price equal to zero. This can potential create rather cumbersome problems if the Outside Operation Items is register as arrived with zero cost and it is not detected until late, in worst case the sub quantity of the shop order part is received in to inventory and also reserved to a new shop order. Reversing this in order to correct the shop order cost is not a fun exercise, far from. Hence would it be good to have a similar function to set Zero Cos

Hi I’m looking for a way that an operator can easily see on the workbench that all materials are present at the inbound locations. We don’t want him to start an operation if not all materials are there.Current process:We reserve, afterwards we use the transport task to move from Warehouse to inbound location.The problem with this is that if you reserve the materials for your shop order, the value in ‘quantity on inbound location’ on the shop floor workbench returns to 0. So we can’t use that. Only non reserved materials are visible there, even if you reserved them for the partical shop order.We only want to do to the Issue step when the operator starts the operation. Any ideas?

In earlier versions we could copy cost set from onw Cost Set to another for several parts.In Cloud we can perform this only when selecting 1 part. If we select 2 or more part lines, the option “Copy Cost Set” is no longer available. How can we copy from i.e. Cost Set 5 to Cost Set 4 when including several parts? Incuding several parts, the option “Copy Cost Set” is no longer there: 

There are  parts which have repair, assembly product structures to either repair or assemble. but sometimes it is only 60%-80% parts are required to do the repair or assembly. Is there any way to that it can be fed to the IFS 10 Application as a factor so that it will be considered when replenishment.  Is there a way in IFS to help order items that are not used 100% of the time?

 Before creating component repair orders sometimes , it is required to create quotes and follow the quotation process. These each component has it own standard product structure and the sale prices are all fixed and any over/above parts also have pricing. Can we do this in IFS App10?what is the most convenient way to perform repair order quoting?

I get the below error when the below custom even gets executed. Any idea why this is happening ? Mutating Error  Custom event Code 

Hi,Is there a way to check shop order shortages for multiple levels deep within its BOM? The Shop Order Material Availibility is close but it only checks the immediate BOM level below. What I would like to see is it pick up a shortage say from a purchased part that feeds into a sub-assembly and that sub-assembly feeds into top level assembly which is the shop order. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Once we have scheduled the work centres we would also like to be able to say the labour required per production line/workcentre based on the routing crew count.  Is there a way to get a summary overview from APB/IFS that shows this type of detail? Thanks 

In BGB, we are testing the manufacturing control plan for shop order operation testing. We would like to cover the 3 testing scenarios, by default, system offers standard feature to for collect data per shop order operation for settled sample quantity. That is fine and will be ok for basic full testing scenarios. But it cannot cover the random testing requirements. For instance, there are 4 shop orders produced in one line production line within 1 day. The random testing requirement is not based on shop order, but based on production line. So in that case, we would like to manual trigger one of shop order to collect variable data. Hereby, the question is how to setup those random control line that is triggered by manual according to business requirement? Our expectation is like:data point 1/2/3/5 is triggered by starting shop order based on inspection code sample quantity, which will cover full testing scenario. Data point 4 is triggered by manual,

Hi at all,does anyone have a presentation (PowerPoint) about MRB?Thanks and best regardsMilanko

Community, Wondering whether it is possible to lock Master Part Info Text for edit, and just open for certain user to make changes? Thank you.Ron

In shop floor reporting,  shop order operation's labor class is different from the workbench user's labor class. Is there any setting in the application to choose which labor class is to be used for costing?

What sets this date, we have been using IFS for 3 years and this field is always blank.

Hello everyone!I am attempting to create a List Element to place in my Lobby to track Change Order Actions.  I am following some tutorials on YouTube to help me get there but I am running into a Data Source issue.  What are Change Order Actions held under? I do not see that as a selection in the drop down list.I appreciate any help you can provide!Thank you all,- Rob
