Our users have noticed that in order to view analysis results in Aurena (Apps 10) that they have to go from the Shop Order to the Analysis for the shop order and they have to click on each individual line to see the results. Is there not an overview that will show analysis results in Aurena? Shop Order Analysis Result makes you drill into each Analysis Result Line to see the result. There is no column that I can pull the result into this table view.IEE there is a screen called “Analysis Results - Shop Order”. From here, users can see and enter ALL results for a particular shop order. 

Is there an option to undo the status change to Obsolete of an Engineering Part Revision.If not, what is the actual reason this is not possible?Steve

IFS 9 Update 14I have been trying to use a SQL query to return a part_no value for the Source Key Name in a custom menu, without success.  Is this possible and does anyone have an example?My specific case is to open Inventory Part with part_no retrieved from tbwShipmentLines_Cust, which does not have part_no immediately available.  Trying to use this qry:SELECT PART_NO FROM CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE WHERE CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_NO = SHIPMENT_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_NO AND CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE.LINE_NO = SHIPMENT_ORDER_LINE.LINE_NO AND CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE.REL_NO = SHIPMENT_ORDER_LINE.REL_NO 

Hello,Is there a way to deactivate or activate the ‘Expand’ Button in the Selector column of Engeneering Part Navigator? 

I have a scenario where standard costing/cost per part is used in three sites. They might manufacture some of their sub-assemblies in another site than the manufactured site, and the sub-assemblies of that sub-assembly can also be manufactured in another site. Site 1 - Top partSite 2 - SFG 01 (Child of Top Part)Site 3 - Sub 02 (Child of Sub 01) Sub 02 might also have further sub-assemblies in other sites.When doing cost calculations, assuming multi-site costing is set up to pick from the Specified Cost set (Cost Set 02), and in a scenario where I perform Cost Set 02 calculations daily: On Day 01, All values will be correct, assuming all cost sets are updated.On Day 01, after calculation, if estimated material values get updated for components of Sub 02 in Site 03.On Day 02, Calculation of Top Part would pick the inter-site cost from Site 2 1st, whereas Site 2 still needs to

Can anyone explain how Apps9 calculates the next count date? I’ve an example below that I can not fathom out how it has calculated it. Receipt Date is 27/10/2021, Last Activity Date is 11/01/2022 and Next Count Date is 31/03/2023 - the cycle interval is set at 360 (our aim is counted once a year).  

The latest documentation on Intraday Planning with Master Scheduling reads as:When a part with this setting enabled is master scheduled, the demand and planning time fences are shifted one day earlier. I.e. if you have 0 as demand time fence, current day is considered outside the demand time fence with this setting enabled and within the demand time fence with this setting disabled.This is either written incorrectly or the system is not behaving as designed.Version 22.2.1Observed behavior:With DTF = 0 and Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date = NO Run MS 1 Calc on 12/7 DTF = 12/7 (current day = DTF) With DTF = 0 and Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date = YES Run MS 1 Calc on 12/7 DTF = 12/6 (current day is inside DTF)

The latest Cloud documentation for this reads:First the shop orders for the parts with the highest low level is reviewed. Then it continues with the next level, and then the level after that until all levels have been reviewed.The phrase ‘highest low level’ is ambiguous. If my list consist of parts with low levels 2, 3, and 4, which one is the highest, 2 or 4? 2 is the highest looking at it from a structure perspective, while 4 is the highest value.If this is a bottom-up approach, e.g., starting with parts at level 4, then moving up to 3 , then 2 and so on, could this be written simply as being a ‘bottom-up’ method? If it is a top-down approach, then the same applies.

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
