Dear Community,I have a part which I dont want to track in inventory, but I want to track serial number after customer delivery. Documentation page (F1) says it can be done, but I couldn’t figure it out how.  1- I set serial tracking at receipt and issue to no. ‘FALSE’2-I set serial tracking in inventory to no. ‘FALSE’3-I set serial trackinf after delivery to yes. ‘TRUE’ 4- I created a Customer Order and reserved the part. (non-inventory serial tracking but serial tracking after delivery)5- I created a shipment and closed it. In this process, nothing was asked about the serial tracking of the shipped part. Kind RegardsOzgun Bal

Hi , My customer will use a Tool both in Manufactuing(Shop Order) and Service (Work Order)As master level1. we created a [Tool/Equipment] and linked it to [Manufacturing Tool Instance]2. Assinge the Manufacuring Tool to Routing , and create some shop order. while,in Resource Analysis screen,Tools’  “Shop Order Hours” is 0.00.is it specfication of IFS? ※We tried both APP10 and IFS Cloud, same result.  

Community, Currently there is no interface between our PLM Winchill and IFS, so we are using migration job to batch create new Engineering Part. Wondering if it is possible to create new Engineering Part Revision via migration job batch uploading?  Does anyone happen to have this experience creating new Engineering Part Revision via Migration Job?Thank you.

Hello all, I am hoping some has an answer to this IFS system behavior. I have noticed that when I create an Estimate, and then increase the Revision, the system appears to reorder the Estimate Structure.Below is revision 1: Here is revision 2: As you can see it appears to have reordered the part numbers under the structure. This creates quite a bit of confusion when reviewing estimates as everything is now out of order. I have tried resetting and refreshing the node, but it does not correct them. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 Hi We try to define inspection code per below list requirement per order lot size in control plan, it seems that it only can be defined as same sample size but not depend on order lot size, is it possible to make it happen and how to process?Thanks for your help. Susan 

Dear community, IFS 8 allowed to put specification limits (outer/inner min, outer/inner max) and nominal value on control plans for a data points of type “Attribute”. In VCloud 22R2, it is not allowed.  Is there any configuration that is available that would enable the use of values in the Min and Max fields for a data point of type “attribute”.The goal is to give to the operator the dimensions to meet but the measured value is not fulfilled in the analysis result. We only need to know the number of non-conforming parts. Thanks for your help

We migrated in some customer orders / customer order lines.The lines that are supply code DOP (Release DOP), didn’t create Shop Orders at customer order release.If we go in manually and duplicate the lines, then they create Shop Orders.The only thing we can find wrong with the original lines is that Self Billing wasn’t set (it was NULL).We went in and set them to NOT SELF BILLING.But now we have hundreds of customer orders / lines that are set to Release DOP but don’t have DOP headers.Any idea how to trigger the DOP creation? If I manually create a  DOP Header, I can’t link it (I think because the customer order line is Release DOP).Or any idea of what else could be wrong?

We have an item that is showing available in inventory - this item is on a project and it is a returned item.   The project is closed and the system will not allow us to scrap, transfer to standard inventory or move the item - we get the error “You may only change the inventory quantity balance for an activity that is in status Released or Completed”.  We are also not able to open the project Please help

I know how to create Count reports, is there a way to pick an amount randomly?

We would like to use the “perform putaway” function defined on the work center:  The goal is to have the system perform a putaway via transport tasks into a non-picking location after a shop order is closed.  From there, the material handlers will then move the product to a desired location.  This would need to happen for parts that may or may not be pegged to a customer order.  Other than just checking the checkbox, I am sure there is more configuration needed.  Can someone provide some guidance on how to do this?  Thanks!

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,  I want to configure a IFS report for a particular inventory location to printed to a default printer.  How can I set this up report rules.

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

Hi Community,Is it possible to add a custom field (readonly) in ‘Register Arrivals’ list ?Entity ‘ReceivableObjectInfo’ seems not to be configurable.thanks   

Community,Have you experience handling below error?Below error is from repair shop order when doing goods receiving. but the part 1066883-07-HY-0056 is already issued to this repair shop order.kindly advise. Thank you.

Community, in our manufacturing site, Part A is part type Manufactured, so does in Engineering Part. Now we decide to purchase it instead of building it, then we changed the Engineering Part Provide Code from Make to Buy. but when we are doing transfer, we encountered an error,  see below, may I know what is the right procedure to resolve this issue? 

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
