Is it possible to have an event firing that then runs a quick report??

We have an issue with stock availibility The MRP system works well, creating new shop orders when customers place an order giving an availibility date that is generally correct. However, we have an issue if the products fail testing. The customer orders cannot be honoured and its quite a task to undo and warn the customer. We have created a quick report which shows customer orders affected when shop order dates are changed. Now we would like an event which fires when dates are changed on the shop order, it runs the quick report and emails it to users. Is it possible for an event to run a quick report and email out?

Planned Periods Units in Manufacturing Standard

Hi All, I want to understand the use and functionality of Planned Period Units in Manufacturing Standard. If I dont define the periods in this screen, then what is the implication of this. Also, are they defined automatically while doing in installation of application. If these are defined manually then in how much time duration we need to define this. as in my system they are defined toll 2024, first day wise , then week wise and then quarter wise from 2018. Thanks and Cheers

MRP 'Original Due' and 'Planned Due'

Hi guys, In ‘Shop Order Requisitions’, there are two columns called ‘Original Due’ and ‘Planned Due’. This determine the ‘Need Dates’ for the works orders that are raised by accepting the requisitions in question. In turn, dictating to APB (our CBS engine) what to prioritize when a trade-off is required given resource limitations. How can those dates be changed? Namely, for SST items under planning method B/C. For demand released by a customer or projects that would involve editing the required date, performing MRP and alignment via MRP Action Proposals. How can we change the Orig. and PLD Due dates for SST items so they are called for now. thanks, jay

Procurement of packing materials

Hi, I have created a Packing Instruction in terms of Pallets and Cartons that can automatically create a packing structure to ship a variable large qty of a part. The way it can create the packing structure is really neat. But does anyone know if there is a way for IFS to automatically procure the Pallets and Cartons (and any other packing materials) that would be needed for a Shipment. There doesn't seem to be a way of defining what’s needed in terms of Inventory Parts that would get picked up as a Demand in the system. I would like these to be ordered as and when required, in advance, so the packing structure for the Shipment could be created and the Pallets/Cartons ordered prior to actually packing the Parts. Unless I’m missing something it appears as if the actual packing materials are always assumed to be on hand in the warehouse. But I can’t believe that’s the case, knowing the capability of IFS. Thanks for your help!

Resource Analysis -Shop Order Load

Could someone confirm if we can see shop order load against the “Person” please? I assume we can’t because we connect the labor class to the resource group. I guess it will be same with production schedule and CRP calculated loads too. Tried to find a documentation to check if there are prerequisites but it was not successful.

How to skip Event action when prior step deleted on Approval Routing

We have a custom event that executes on a change to APPROVAL_ROUTING_TAB. The problem for us is we don’t want that to execute when the reason the record changed in the Approval_ROUTING_TAB is that a prior step in the approval process was deleted. (Users are supposed to remove steps from the bottom up to avoid this but frequently forget.) Is there a way I can tell that? Do other fields besides LINE_NO get updated when a prior step is deleted? Would it work to add an outer IF statement on the Event Action SQL code something like If &NEW:LINE_NO<&OLD:LINE_NO AND (All other fields New = Old) then --skip the action because prior step was deleted. else --insert the existing sql code here end if;

APB: "Earliest Due Date" - Meaning

Hi guys, At our site, APB is used to CBS schedule works orders prior to their release. The priority rule “Earliest Possible Due Date” is our standard execution (there’s no reason for us to use anything else). Can I get a definition of this rule, hopefully, to supplement what I know. I take it to do the following: For the orders (or operations) selected, schedule those to Start/Finish as soon as capacity permits (i.e. ASAP or Least Slack). Plus, if a trade-off is required (i.e. when two or more orders are competing for a resource) prioritize the job(s) with an earlier Need Date. That appears to be how dates are given against available capacity and the sequencing principle. Is this correct? Did I miss a crucial element? I’m especially curious to know how the field “Earliest Start Date” for a given order figures. Does this present a hard constraint on APB, such that regardless of if there’s usable capacity, an order cannot be scheduled any earlier that it’s Earliest Start Date?

APB - Re-scheduling Orders

Hi guys, I’ve got a query about how to use APB. An example is apt here. Consider an MPS consisting of 2 items. Lets stipulate the structure for each is: Level 0 = end-item (GA), Level 1 = SA (x2), Level 2 = 4 piece parts & Level 3 = 10 piece parts. Let’s also imagine 0 overlap between recipes (thus no requisition to merge supply). The relevant ‘Priority Rule’ is ‘Earliest Possible Due Date’ (with all operations selected) since we’re looking to schedule both projects to finish asap, with no spare capacity gaps. 2 options arise at this stage. Either, schedule both project items (under the priority rule stated) in APB with a single executed run. Or, load the initial project (specifically, the parts therein) and execute the engine. Then, do the same for the next project, but exclude all operations that are released and started, thereby ignoring the orders under the first project. Note, a presumption is there’s no ‘MPS confusion’: insofar as the initial project is of greater priori

What is 'Production Schedule by Line Part' intended for?

Hi guys, In IFS (Apps 10) there are pages called ‘Production Schedule by Line’ & ‘Production Schedule by Line Part’. Can somebody provide a description of what they are intended for. It’s evident I’m not using it properly. Because when I search by Site (and nothing else) the returning values is N/A (i.e. nothing found). See below - On the same token, when I paste the list of parts that have orders in WIP (i.e. the range of data necessary to identify objects in the current plan) that also returns N/A. So, in addition to the question above, what preliminary ‘data requirements’ must be satisfied to render this page usable in the first place. Assuming this is not a straight-forward search error! thanks, Jay
