Is it possible, in Customer Order Line, to prevent changing the Target Date by permissions? We can’t seem to find the object to be able to revoke permission to change the field.

Hi There,Is there a way to change the quantity of a single part which is used in thousands of boms?I know the structure change feature can be used to change one part for another but doesn't seem to include qty changes. ThanksPaul 

Cannot be found from the  Basic data translation neither.  We would need to do translations for all the used report layouts. Any recommendations how it could be done?

Hi, can we set a max lot size in a DOP structure? Case: Component A is made in a tank of 500L. In the DOP structure, we have a shop order for componenent A. However, if need more than 500L, we would like to have seperate shop orders for each max 500L. Thanks!

Hello, I am attempting to configure the History Logging to capture when Components are deleted from a Product Structure. I have enabled the delete tracking on Component Part, but that still does not appear to be capturing the deletion. Is there a way to log this action using the History logging? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

IFS has a lead time on the Inventory Part, but the moment there is a Shop Order with Operations, this prevails when it comes to lead time calculation. As this might seem logical, it is not. Many companies use fixed lead times per Part and this is now not possible in IFS. Why not have an extra setting on the Inventory Part in which you can choose? And in between should be the option to have fixed/minimum lead time per operation. So in the end we would have a hierarchy:Use fixed lead time per Part Use fixed lead time per OperationIf none of these 2 settings is true, use operation calculated lead time.

Hi All, I have a case, where we need to change the inventory valuation from Standard Cost to FIFO. This requires issuing & re-receiving of all inventory part stocks since the Qty has to be zero to make the change.For issuing we are not able to issue reserved parts & hence this is not straightforward. I would like to know if there is an option to bulk unreserve all quantities on SO Reservations, CO Reservations etc. ?Any option in either IFSAPPS10 or Cloud R1/R2?

Dear forum members, do have idea how to modify the inventory part Copy Part function defaults in IFS10 ? Currently used defaults are containing lot of risks, example at alternate parts.  

Hello There, Currently, I am in the SHOP FLOOR WORKBENCH window and trying to approve an operation for a specific lot/batch. Before doing so, I am supposed to enter the inspection results for the Control plan. Within that “enter inspection results” window, there is a field named “Unit of measure” that displays the value. I would like to know, if it is possible to set up “UoM” ?ora window to look at the pre-defined UoM values for a specific operation ? Looking forward to your responses.

Is it possible to assign multiple resources to a shop order operation?Example: A Shop order operation is routed to Work Center “X”.Work Center X is made up of machine resources X01, X02, X03, X04.  A small order will run on X01 only while a large order will utilize all 4 machines. Can X01,X02,X03, and X04 all be assigned to one shop order operation?An attempt was made to manage it with multiple work centers where X1 represents 1 machine, and X4 represents all 4 machines, but this skews capacity views when a resource is assigned to multiple work centers.

Dear Sir; Before delivery parts to the customer,  the parts (inventory items) are packed by packing material (inventory items) with a standard numbers for each packing material.I would like to consume appropriate numbers of these packing material, following the numbers of parts delivery. Does IFS have any function like packing BOM? Regards;Yasuda

We are new to submitting VAT reports in Germany.  Does anyone know how we need to go about it?  Looks like we need to register with Elster to get a certificate.  If we save the VAT file to a FTP folder, can Elster pick it up from there?  Any help would be appreciated.

Community, We are using APP10. in current Lobby, for shop order planning alert, we can only see very simple data, i.e. data from planning alert window. We would like to build a consolidated data source to display all the info, e.g. project ID, shop order no, component no, quantity short, required date, earliest planning date, especially, what the supply info would be, e.g. purchase requisition, purchase order, status, lead time, and etc…i think the difficult part is the supply info, there is no one to one pegged order info available (inventory order). in window Inventory Availability Planning this window, usually the supply order(purchase requisition/purchase order) due date would be the same as the shop order component required date.does anyone has this SQL statement already, mind to share it with me?Thank you.

Does IFS have a way to list Single Lot requirements on Product Structures? We currently machine parts that require a single lot of material to be used for the full order.  Is there a way to capture that requirement?  

Has anyone used the Define Modification in IFS in conjunction with CRO? I have returned units that require to be converted to another part number and Modification seems to be able to do that. Although I have read through the help, it is not very intuitive how to set up and create a task list on the CRO Repair line to actually carry out the mod. Grateful if anyone who has done this could share their experience. Thank you.

Hi Guys, In the Quality Management > Tool > Tool Instances page, in my “IFS Training Environment”, when the “Next Calibration Date” has passed, the validity does not change from “Active”. Is there a way to make the Tool Instance Validity change from Active to Hidden, when the Next Calibration Date has passed? Again, thanks very much for your assistance. Regards, Calibration Guy

What is the business logic behind setting the Create Cost Accounting to "No, Do Not Update the Project Cost" for Correction and Recreated Transactions  when you create the correction transaction at customer company end as shown below Whilst if you create a correction transaction at employee company end  Correction and Recreated Transactions fetches the value from corrected transaction   

We frequently change parts for other parts, a replacement part,... normaly to introduce a new component and phase out an old component. A revision change, a product improvement, a better cost, etc.When doing these changes, on a product structure, we increase the revision (with the new component included in the BoM),... but we would like always to consume all inventory of the old component, so that we do not leave "obsolete components in stock" ... with no future demands.We are investigating into the Alternate Components MRP Netting functionality, and miss one important thing: The MRP will account for the existing Qty on Hand (for calculating the needs for the new components), but will not use any of the projected stock of the old component. We many times face situation on serial manufacturing, where the new component will take some time to arrive, and we have current POs of the old components on the way (that cannot be migrated/changed to the new component). That is, a ramp down on the

Hi All, i have a scenario where i would like to add a component with the same configuration into multiple structure alternate lines as a mass update, i would normally use the find and replace on the components per product view for this when it is a replacement but i want to do the same but to add a component not replace an existing one.does anyone know if it is possible without migration jobthanks in advance  for any help or advice

Hi,In my product structure, there are some components connected to the first routing operation. As the first step automatic reservation will be done. Next step should be  manual issue. (backflush not allowed) In case if user forgot to do manual issue, and  he or she tries to report the operation, then I expect an error message saying that sufficient operational materials are not issued.  I have used following settings, but still I don't get an error message, system backflush operational materials. I want to stop backflush.Settings on the Work center of the operation:Note: Operational materials  are not available in the inbound location that I have defined here. According to  the setting, backflush is not  allowed outside of the  defined inbound location. Which means, system should raise  an error.Anyway above settings do not give me the expected result. Can you please help. (note: this is IFS cloud 22R1)Thank you. kind regards,Yashodha. 

Hi,     In one of our test environment we have the error “COMPONENT_FISNOT_SYS.INSTALLED must be declared” . The package should have been generated at the installation time based on the module_dependency_tab according to a previous post. In this environment the entry is missing. We can manually create the entry but is there any explanation to why it can be missing?Best RegardsChaminda
