A manufactured part was created and not used, but it is in status Buildable.  Can it be deleted? I have not been able to take it to any status that can be deleted.

Hello all,  I am trying to delete the Engineering Part Revision for a part. The Engineering Part Revision is Obsolete, but when I try to delete it, I receive this message:   Any suggestion on a solution?  Thank you for your help! 

We somehow managed to connect a Manufacturing Labor Class to a Resource that has a resource type of “Person”. This prevents us from assigning a true person resource to the labor class, creating an error message that says, “Resource Type Person cannot be parent to Resource Type Person”. We cannot break this linkage and create a correct resource connection after so many trials and errors. Any help is appreciated. 

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to set the Notes field on Report Scrap to mandatory? Looking on SFWB, I do not see a location where this can be done. Hoping there is something I’m missing.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In Cloud version, how can you assign a ressource type employee on a shop order operation ? i have 2 columns “Setup Assign” and “Run assign” equal to “No”’; i therefore beleive that it’s possible; but how ?

Hi everyone,One of our customer have problem with generating SO from MRP for a purchase part with safety stock greater than 0. (In IFS V8 by the way).In this particular case, we have a demand of 2.000.It is possible that IFS is not taking consideration our safety stock for that demand?

Hello, When we take back the attached material, it gives the error message in the picture.It records the code snippet in the attachment. We do not encounter such an error when we open a different work order. What is causing this error? Can you help me?  

Community,below is the error when reopening a shop order, i have 2 questions, would like to borrow your mind.can we still proceed the shop order? if question 1 is yes, how we handle the current error? Thank you.

When creating a new Engineering Revision for a component part (will refer to as lower level) we make the part Active and then Release. At the release stage we check the box to replace the “where used” and select all parent parts (will refer to as sub-level parts) that include the lower-level part in their structures. These sub-level parts are already ‘released’ and previously transferred to inventory. When the lower-level part is replaced, it flips the ‘PDM Preliminary Rev. Change’ from ‘Not Changed’ to ‘Changed’ of all “where used” parent sub-level parts. After the lower-level part is transferred, its “PDM Preliminary Rev Change” will flip from “Changed” to “Transferred.”  However, the parent “where used” sub-level parts affected will remain in a “Changed” state. Note this condition has been observed through intentional testing. During a normal business operation, the parent “where used” sub-level parts are not typically viewed on the Transfer Actions screen.  Subsequently, at a point

Hello, So I am running a query to select all parts from Part Master Data (Inventory_Part) based on site (contract), part number, and Part Type (Type_Code).  When running this, I am seeing that we have a single part from the same site that contains both Manufactured, and Purchased part type.  In IFS, this part number shows Type_Code as Manufactured. We do have two sites, one that gets purchased parts, and one that contains manufactured parts. But in this case, IFS is showing that this part for the particular site is Manufactured, but when I run a query, it is showing both Manufactured and Purchased in the Database.  Do you know why?  Thank you for the help! 

Apps10 Upd15From the documentation on Create MRB Case:If a serialized and/or lot/batch tracked part is submitted to the MRB case, a record will be saved in the part serial history and/or lot batch history indicating its submission to the MRB.I have a lot/batch tracked part in inventory. I created an MRB Case for this quantity in stock and completed the case, but I do not see an entry for this in its Lot Batch Master > History.Is the documentation not correct?

Hello,  I would like to apply material overhead on good issue on production order only on purchase inventory parts.Si i made the following settings:  When i launch the cost part on manufactured part, i obtain the following cost with 10% material overheadBut when i did the issue of a purchased inventory part on a production order, the 10% is not calculated on average price but on estimated price. Is anybody knows how we can have the Material overhead calculated on average price (51,56)?Thanks in advance for your help

Has anyone come across this error?  My client is receiving this error. She found out the manager had reopened the serial part.  Once this was done, IFS states that it has been modified.Now, they are trying to unreceive one of the parts that was received in error and cannot unreceive it.Does anyone know what can be done to unreceive the serial part?  

Dear community, I am getting the error below when I am trying to create a specific DOP structure. But everything is fine for other parts.Any help would be appreciated. Note: I have checked generated calender  Kind Regards Özgün Bal

Hello, around 2 weeks ago my companies users started experiencing an issue we never ran into prior. All the way down at the end of the columns there is a “Location No” column. We’ve never touched this before and had no issues prior. Recently when we go to a new line it runs an error of “To Location No” not filled. We have to manually type 0 to bypass it which is incredibly annoying for our users to do on every single line. What could the cause of this be? Thanks. PS we’re on apps10..

Hi,we came across no part cost for a component which is manufactured but has a purchased cost template.  So we tried to figure out how this constellation has happend:If you create a new manuf part cost template in cost set 1 is set automatically to M-110correctif you change the part type to purchased, the the cost template in cost set 1 is set automatcally to P-110correctBut we have 2 jobs running at night: Calculate cost set 3 for all parts and copy cost set 3 to cost set 1 Unfortunately the part type change does not change the cost template of cost set 3.This means we have the wrong cost teplates in all the parts where part type has been changed. Any idea how to solve this dilemma? Do I need to create an event at part type change or at cost template change in cost tab 1 in order to have the same cost template in 3 or are there any settings or easier work arounds?

I understand that only certain releases of Primavera are supported by IFS.Where can I find the current list of those releases which are supported ?

Community,  Can anyone share with me where to define this Lot Size? please see below highlighted. Thank you. 

I hope someone has come across this scenario before.I have a product structure that has some components connected to a later OP in the routing. This is because I don’t need the parts until, say, OP 30 or 40.However, MRP plans ALL the components as due on the start date of the shop order, completely disregarding the fact that I don’t need some components until the third or fourth OP, which may be weeks after the start of the shop order.Does anyone know how to get MRP to schedule these supplies as due after the start of the shop order and actually due when that OP they are connected to is scheduled to start?Be grateful for any views. Still using Apps 9.Thanks.

I have a question regarding recipe structure and wondering if anyone has seen a similar scenario and has recommendations? Raw materials are purchased in kg. BOM also calls for mixing of these by kg (or grams). Some of the materials contain bacteria. At goods inwards this bacteria level is measured (CFU/g). The BOM is based on the suppliers quoted minimum CFU/g. However, in most cases the suppliers will deliver to a higher concentration (meaning less kg are required to achieve the desired concentration level). The result is that the BOM must be recalculated and adjusted on each shop order, depending on the CFU/g of the available raw materials. Raw materials are potentially expensive, so it does not make sense to issue more than required CFU. This also creates an issue for MRP / planning as CFU is not known and plan is only based on kg. When adjustments are made too late, this can cause sudden changes in material availability. Are the any recommendations or suggestions to handle this wit

Hi,  My customer is looking for the possibility to have a multilevel configured structure for a Shop order, but where phantom parts are still present. I know Manufacturing structure screen allow the user to get the full multilevel mBOM, yet it is not a configured mBOM.On DOP header, there is also a multilevel mBOM, which is configured, yet phantom parts are not visible (because they’re phantoms). Does someone know if a report that would generate the following bom can be built ? : Multilevel BOM Configured BOM  Phantom parts are visibleI think this would be helpful for others too !

Hello, I have noticed that when I’m in a table view in Aurena and I sort by latest created date, the system does not properly sort the Creation Time. It appears to do earliest time stamp to latest, which is the opposite of how IEE works. Is there a way in Aurena to sort by created date/time? This view is quite confusing, as you’re now sorting by latest date and then reading the results in reverse. Any guidance would be appreciated.   

Hi, In our DOP structure, shop orders for the same parts will arise on different levels, with different need dates. IFS creates all these seperately. Is there a setting which tells IFS to create the Shop orders once, at the earliest due date with a lot size that can cover the needs for the complete DOP? A bit like MRP planning method G. Thanks! 

I have created a Quick Report (Crystal Report) that uses the Azalea Code 39 barcode.  When running the report with the barcode in it the report fails with the message: Failed to retrieve the report.  Please contact your system administrator.    If I remove the barcode from the report the report runs without any errors. Please advise.

Hi, In Shop order process type system seems to be counting calendar days for no of days before start date  and is not taking the site manufacturing  calendar into account.Is this the intended way it should work and are there any settings related to this?We are on IFS10 upd14 /Anna
