Hello,Is it possible to set up a system to backflush all raw materials/components that are used for Shop Order production when receiving on SO less quantity then planned?E.g. Shop Order lot size = 1000        Component required = 1000        Receiving from SO = 990        I have a backflush flag set up, but instead of backflushing qty 990 of my component (according to what I receive), I would still like to backflush the total component quantity as planned 1000.

One of the customers am working with have observed the following. Would request your assistance to help solve this issue. Note the customer is running application 9. The system is retrieving costs erroneously from Standard Costing for Employee Category when it should be using costs from the labor class. Flow to re-create the issue: 1. Have labor class set up for both run time and overhead costs. 2. Have employee set up for Employee Category General. 3. Have Standard Costs set for Employee Category General different than labor class so you can be sure what the system is doing. 4. Make sure that Company Details for Company i.e X are not checked to use Employee Costs. (This would be the signal to use Standard Cost) 5. Make sure that Site is not Checked for Override Employee Costs This determines which labor class costs the system should use. 6. Then report time for employee 1063 who is in employee category General. 7. Check the costs. Costs are bein

Is it possible in IFS APP 10 to changes status of an MRB Case from Completed to Open to modify notes if tied to a closed shop order?

Hello  Is there a work instruction for serialization of purchase parts please? We would like to trial this for a few purchase parts in our test environment.  The parts will be used assembly of a rail grinder.  Thanks 

Hi,We would like to create a shop order, but we want to clarify that the material cost will not be included in the shop order cost because all materials will be supplied by the customer. We will only be charging for the cost of making the product. The customer will be sending us the raw materials, which we will store in our inventory. As a result, we also need to receive all inventory items without a price or with a minimum price.Therefore, I would like to request an expert opinion on how we can best manage this process. Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your assistance.

Our internal store material requests follow a process of Material Requisition on IFS. However, we cannot reserve material beyond the current stock levels set by the stores' mix-max levels in IFS. Automated orders are generated only when stock levels reach the minimum threshold. Is there a way to reserve more than the stock level to fulfill current material needs along with stores' maximum levels, so that orders are automatically placed?

Community,wondering whether it is feasible in IFS to make the shop order status “Started”, but there is no material actually issued to the shop order? Thank you. 

How can we debug order report ?I ran the report, data is populating to RPT table, but not writing to XML.I want to check the step by step execution of RPI. Please suggest 

There have been multiple posts in which the logic behind the Sched Capacity on the Inventory Part has been presented and what happens when Finite vs. Always Finite is used.This post is questioning how a user is supposed to load data into the APB when manufactured components are either Finite or Always Finite. Customer has the following product structure:P/N 100 P/N 200 (QPA = 30) P/N 200 is always manufactured in lot sizes of 8 and each shop order takes 1 day (8 hours) to process its lone operation.5-day work week M-F, 8-hour days, 8 AM - 4 PM no breaks.There are (4) shop orders for component p/n 200, and each is scheduled to end on Day1, Day2, Day3, and Day4 respectively. These have been APB Scheduled and saved to the database.I have multiple shop orders for p/n 100 that consist of only one operation.When loading and scheduling only the shop orders for p/n 100 If P/N 200 is set to Always Finite, APB does not schedule the orders for p/n 100. It is in Unscheduled status in APB, with the

Hi,While creating Estimate with estimate wizard I am getting an error like “The Multilevel Tracking “Tracking Off” does not exist.”I am trying to create an estimate with product which is an existing part. We don’t use multilevel tracking on parts, so multitracking is off by default on part catalogue. But even after I turned multilevel tracking on at master part, I still get the same error. We are using IFS Apps 10 Update 8. Does anyone have any idea about what might be causing this error?Thanks,Taner

Hi All, We’re noticing some inconsistencies in the productivity values showing in the operation statistics screen.  Do we know the formula used (and which columns these are derived from) for ‘Labor Productivity’ & ‘Machine Productivity’ so we are able to analyse data and improve our reporting. Thanks in advance for your help Alex

Hello all, I was curious if it is possible to see who created, pick, and executed a transport task? I am looking to implement this for offsite moves, but I believe the information tied back to a user would help to address any incorrect processing issues. I haven’t seen anything in the system that would clearly show any of this info. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am trying to create a Custom Event in IFS 8 - “CRO Receive Part” to Display an Alert if a user tries to save when the Serial No on the Receive does not match the one on the “Component Repair Order”.I am able to use Error_Sys.Record_General to display a message  and force the user to go back, however, sometimes it is OK that the Serial No is different. I would like the user to be able to Click ‘Cancel’ to go back and ‘Continue’ if it is OK. I have tried to use Client_Sys.Add_Info and Client_SYS.Add_Warning, but they do nothing.What am I missing? DECLARE  CURSOR cro_line_cursor  IS  SELECT clt.cro_no, clt.line_number, clc.cf$_reported_serial_no serial_no    FROM cro_line_tab clt        ,cro_line_cft clc   WHERE clt.rowkey = clc.rowkey     AND clt.cro_no = '&NEW:CRO_NO'     AND line_number = '&NEW:LINE_NUMBER'     AND contract = '&NEW:CONTRACT';BEGIN  FOR cro_line_rec IN cro_line_cursor LOOP    IF '&NEW:SERIAL_NO' != cro_line_rec.serial_no THEN      Error_Sys.Record_Gene

Hello,is there a way in IFS how to not allow users to release DOP according to some condition on inventory part?? On inventory part we have characteristics and let say one attribute of characteristics is mandatory, let's call it DN. And if we use this inventory part in DOP head and the parameter is not filled, has no value, users should not be able to release DOP. The system should tell them info message about not filled attribute of characteristic. I don't know how to create stop event on logical unit DopHead and checking the conditions on logical unit InventoryPartChar. Any clue?ThanksJanIFS version 10 update 8

Hi, When parts are received being connected in a DOP with a pegged order, they are automatically reserved. Afterwards, if we create the pick list, the parts reserved are also there. We don’t want that, they can be backflushed. It contaminates our pick lists :) How can we exclude these parts from the pick list? They are all on the some location.  

Can someone tell me why, when creating a new cost element with source element 501, the factor 100% cannot be changed?

How do I create a Work Center with multiple Resources? If I want to create a Work Center that has 4 identical machines (resources), how would I create this work center? 

Hi, how can we set the default method “create pegged” to Pegged or no pegged in a DOP? Some components we never want it to be pegged. Doesn’t matter in which DOP. If we don’t have stock, we just want MRP to order it without a peg.Other components can always be pegged. So it depend on the inventory part. I can change it on the DOP itself, but do I need to do it each time?

Hi, We would like to start using our employees/labor classes as a Finite resource. Now, only the work centers are finite.Is it correct, like with the work centers, we just need to put the labor class on finite capacity and connect the calanders/ calculate capacity? How does APB behave if you don’t have anough capacity on your labor class? Let say you need 2 employees, but you only have one. Can you than say ‘it will take double as long’ or does he just say ‘not possible’?Thanks!

When we scrap wip from a Mfg shop order we run into a few problems:We can’t re-use any of the material/components that are still good from the parent part we had to scrap.  when we go to receive the finished products left on the Shop Order we sometimes get message about not enough material due to some scrapping of another finished product.

Cloud 22.2.1I have an Analysis for a serial part for a variable type data point. I selected the serial numbers for the analysis. I entered the results for the serial numbers and completed and confirmed the analysis. In the header of the Analysis Result page, when I select ‘View Serial Numbers’ there are no serial numbers listed.Using ‘View Serial Numbers’ in Apps10 EE the assigned serials are still visible.Is this a bug or a new feature?

Hi, We are currently evaluating use of Cost type and Cost Source indicators. We run into problem where Cost Types are missing in “Cost Details Basic Data/Cost Source Indicator Definition” for some of our companies. I cannot find out where and how this is defined. See below where one company (935) have all cost types while company 942 only have one cost type. Does anyone know? 

When engineering creates new BOM, the top level and any newly created P/Ns will have a phase in date matching the date it was created. When the BOM is transferred to manufacturing, and becomes product structure, no supply reqs will be generated unless phase in date is changed to be in the past. A sub-component must have phase in date that is before its top level phase in date.

Hi All, im looking to produce a report to output the multilevel materials and components on a finished serialized part or even at the shop order level rather than serial level.I cant find a view in IFS and am having difficulty finding which tables and views will allow me to make a query to establish this connection.i have tried to describe the kind of connection im looking for below but for N levels and N componentsshop ord component a shop ord component 1 shop ord component # component # component 2 shop ord component # component # component B shop ord component 1 shop ord component # component # component 2 shop ord component # component #any help or support anyone can offer to point me in the right direction will be appreciated.
