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 Cost Forbidde

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 

Hi,Is there a way to check shop order shortages for multiple levels deep within its BOM? The Shop Order Material Availibility is close but it only checks the immediate BOM level below. What I would like to see is it pick up a shortage say from a purchased part that feeds into a sub-assembly and that sub-assembly feeds into top level assembly which is the shop order. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Once we have scheduled the work centres we would also like to be able to say the labour required per production line/workcentre based on the routing crew count.  Is there a way to get a summary overview from APB/IFS that shows this type of detail? Thanks 

In BGB, we are testing the manufacturing control plan for shop order operation testing. We would like to cover the 3 testing scenarios, by default, system offers standard feature to for collect data per shop order operation for settled sample quantity. That is fine and will be ok for basic full testing scenarios. But it cannot cover the random testing requirements. For instance, there are 4 shop orders produced in one line production line within 1 day. The random testing requirement is not based on shop order, but based on production line. So in that case, we would like to manual trigger one of shop order to collect variable data. Hereby, the question is how to setup those random control line that is triggered by manual according to business requirement? Our expectation is like:data point 1/2/3/5 is triggered by starting shop order based on inspection code sample quantity, which will cover full testing scenario. Data point 4 is triggered by manual, which will cover random testing scena

Hi at all,does anyone have a presentation (PowerPoint) about MRB?Thanks and best regardsMilanko

Community, Wondering whether it is possible to lock Master Part Info Text for edit, and just open for certain user to make changes? Thank you.Ron

In shop floor reporting,  shop order operation's labor class is different from the workbench user's labor class. Is there any setting in the application to choose which labor class is to be used for costing?

What sets this date, we have been using IFS for 3 years and this field is always blank.

Hello everyone!I am attempting to create a List Element to place in my Lobby to track Change Order Actions.  I am following some tutorials on YouTube to help me get there but I am running into a Data Source issue.  What are Change Order Actions held under? I do not see that as a selection in the drop down list.I appreciate any help you can provide!Thank you all,- Rob  

Is there any way in IFS9 to report which serial numbers have been completed when reporting quantity on a shop order operation for serialized part?

Anytime our inventory numbers are off or sales support consumes something they shouldn’t have, we have to jump through hoops to invoice block the lines, or invoice the inventory and do a credit, then fake ship inventory to repopulate consignment stock.Is there a way to “un-consume” consignment stock or another way to handle consignment stock/transactions?Thank you in advance. 

Hi Team,I know we can make Dynamic Element TITLE by adding (#NOW# ) but can we make column title dynamic ?I want the column title to display current month (ex: November 2022 for this month) Thanks 

Community, wondering whether IFS has report Component Where used? I need a report show the parent part not only the current level, but also the multiple levels of the parent parts that contains the current component part.does IFS has this report? Thank you.

Hello together, I just dealt with the “rescource share per part” in the routing and asked myself, how the calculation works there. The help says the following:“When 0,1 is insert, and the lot size is 5, it means that the operation will take 50% of its resouce capacity during operation.”I can not really see how this calculation works. Can anybody explain me or draw one two examples? Thank you in advance! Regards Markus

I am working to establish a daily cycle count process and we use IFS 9.  Are there detailed instructions somewhere to help me start this up from scratch pretty much?

Community, Wondering you have experience using “Build Structure for all Parts” this RMB function in Receive Shop Order window. see the screenshot attached. I have a parent part, and its components are all serial controlled. if the shop order lot size is more than 1, wondering how system control the parent - child relationship, how the as-build structure is built.for example, if lot size is 2, I reserved the parent part serial no S1, S2, meantime, I reserve the kids C1 and C2(assume we have only one kid and assembly qty is 1 also) serial no to the material line and issue to the material line.when doing shop order receipt, can I adjust the parent - kids relationship? for example, I can adjust S1 - C2, S2-C1 or S1-C1, S2-C2.Thank you.

Hi,We have some old historical cost sets,  saved by copy cost set,  that we like to remove.I do not find any way to schedule this process, currently when we remove cost sets  it runs in the client and while running system removes  all indexes on the costing table and this slow up our system so we cannot do this during business hours. Can this job be run in the background so we can schedule it?We are on IFS apps 10 upd 14

How do you change a configuration family which has been allocated to a part 

I have a scenario where we have a project with a connected customer order line for an assembly (manufactured part). In some cases, the design of the manufactured part will not be final when the customer order line is released and attached to the project activity. Whilst the product structures are ‘tentative’ or maybe the part is not transferred from engineering, MRP will obviously not plan for components further down the structure. However, some of the items may be long lead times and so we need to get these started. In order to achieve this we thought to manually raise a purchase requisition for long lead items and connect this to the same activity as the customer order line. The thought behind this is that we order the required long lead item, but it is ring-fenced for the correct activity. When the assembly part is designed and structures are made buildable it should be able to see the already created supply for the long lead time part.However, on initial testing of this process PMR

Hello Everyone,I’ve started to create new elements for my lobby and I need help.I need to create a list with certain IFS users that are reserving products in Shipment / Shop Orders per day.  Could you please give me some advises how to do it as I just started exploring Lobby element designer.  Thank you,
