Hi, what’s a good practice to ‘reserve’ production time in the future? For example: I want to produce some order on the 5th and 6th of January on a certain work center. I don’t know yet what I will produce, but I do want the workcenter to remain available, nothing can be planned there untill I’m ready to start filling that timeslot with shop orders. Any ideas?

How to Update General Overhead on Shop Order before closing

Our Customer needs to know how to update the general overheads charged to shop order based on actual production before closing the shop order because currently it charges overheads based at shop order start based on the original lot size quantity. We need to know how to update the overheads charged based on the complete + scrapped qty without changing the original lost size.

Material Overhead

I’m trying to set an a material OH that will be applied when an item is received from a SO (OOREC). Is there such a thing, and if so, how do I set that up? I have tried creating a cost element based on element source 110 (also one based on 500) and OH type Material OH. These have been added to a cost bucket, and a cost template, and the cost template added to a few different parts. So far, I have not yet been able to get these to roll up into the part cost. Any tips or ideas on what I could be missing? I am using IFS8 if that makes any difference.

How can I setup an Overhead to get absorbed to the completed qty. in shop order?

How can I setup an Overhead to get absorbed to the completed qty. in shop order?The cost will be based on the net weight of the product. For example: Per kg overhead is Rs. 8 and if the product net weight is 5 kg then the overhead should be Rs. 40 (Rs. 8 * 5 kg).When I setup a General OH, it's getting absorbed to the Lot Size irrespective of the completed qty. in shop order.

Setting up Control plan to the part

Hi Community, If there are parts that utilized in many work centers (7 to 10)to reduce the setup work, is it possible to tie the control plan to the part, despite of the work center when the control plan is part only? Thanks in advance!

APB limitations, using third party scheduling software?

Hi, it seems APB (Advanced Planning Board)has quite a few limitations, particularly around handling work centers with multiple resources. For example, scheduling a workcenter with 8 resources, how do you get the system to divide up the work and time it will take (perhaps 1/8 the time as a single resource)? Workarounds that have been floated include manually splitting up order lines as they come in (not scaleable) and fudging the efficiency factor to say, 800% in this example, also not great. Any other ideas that people have tried? If APB is not capable, have others used any third party scheduling software? Any recommendations?Thanks

MRB VS Control Plan

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advise and real live example of the usage of MRB VS Control Plan. We are in the process of developing a solution for our QA inspection in IFS and our consultant recommends MRB instead of Control Plan. I am hoping someone can help me understand when should MRB be used in place of Control Plan. Thanks

Serial Part - Current Position = 'Contained'

Hi all, Could somebody tell me when (and how) a Serial Part receives the ‘Current Position’ = ‘Contained’?The Online documentation gives me this table: So the status ‘Contained’ tells me the Serial Part is part of another part. But when is this status assigned? Because if you use it in a shop order process, the status should be ‘issued’ - where is the difference exactly? Best RegardsRoel Timmermans

The rounding in the inventory behaves differently depending on the UoM.

Pre requisite: Set “Qty Calc Rounding” for part as “0”.Assume the Number = 150.00000000000012 When an inventory part has the UoM as Weight (kg), Volume (l), or Length (m), the rounding of the “Qty Required” for Shop Orders work as follows;ROUND(150.00000000000012, 0+ 2) = 150 However, when the UoM is set as “EA” (Each), with a Base unit “pcs”, the function behaves as follows;TRUNC(150.00000000000012, 0) + POWER(10, 0 * -1) = 151 If the “Qty Calc Rounding” for part is “2”. The value for UoM EA is 151.01. It seems when the UoM is EA the quantity is always rounded up regardless of the number.

Serial number reservation lost when cancelling the supply request

In project deliverable, when an item is connected to a serialized manufacturing invenroty part, we have the possibility to reserve the serial n° that need to be manufactured.So that when the Shop order is created from the deliverable item, the serial n° reservation done on the deliverable item is transferred to the SO.When we cancel the supply request from the deliverable item - i.e. the SO is cancelled -, the serial n° reservation is not available anymore.

Error while Deleting a Site

Hello, I am trying to delete a Site and keep having this error pop up. I am having difficulty tracking down where this data may be. I am currently running a script to find all instances of “10013” in the database to see if there is anything else I need to scrub. Could anyone lead me in the right direction for why I can’t delete the site? I try to delete the calendars first and that is when the error pops up. Thank you, Eli Williams

Supply Code in MPL

Community, Project Delivery, isn’t the Supply code in MPL tab filled automatically by inventory part acquisition code? if it is purchased, then system will update it as Purchase Order, if it is a manufactured part, system will update it as a Shop Order? or my understanding is not correct? it should be manually assigned? We found it is just empty. we have to manually update the supply code for those “Non-Std” planned item. we are in APP10 Upd 9. Thank you.

Starting Multiple Shop Order Operations

Hello, We are running IFS Application 10 Update 8 and an upcoming change to our manufacturing environment is going to require two shop order operations to be started simultaneously. For example lets say we have the following operations defined.10 - Charging15 - Pumping20 - Circulation When the operator starts operation 10 we’d like IFS to also start operation 15 as well. We know we can have the operator manually start operation 10 and 15 manually but we are trying to eliminate a point of failure and automate this functionality. Regards,William Klotz

Hi, one of our customers is having the above issue when the following test plan is followed. Is there any rectification from RnD for this?1. Go to Assembly and Disassembly product structure for an existing top position part (GE/00-00-00)2. Now the focus is to create a mismatch in the line item numbers in between Assembly Side and Disassembly side for the same part.3. Add a random inventory part with different line item numbers on each side. (E.g: Part LINEITEM5 with line item 100 in Disassembly side and 200 in Assembly side)4. Now add a new part (LINEITEM4) as a new structure position in serial structure template and enable auto transfer to manufacturing.5. Position parts will be added in the product structure with different line items in-between Assembly and Disassembly sides.6. Include these position parts in maintenance level structure of GE/00-00-00 (Maintenance level: LINEITEM)7.

Material Requisition Alternate Parts

We have several parts in stock which have been entered under their manufacturer’s part number, however, are also built to a standard and are therefore form-fit-function alternates. I have set up the parts as Fully Interchangeable alternative parts in the Master Part (which has commuted across to the inventory part).The desired functionality is to be able to raise a Material Requisition for Part A, and then when going into Manually Reserve stock, stock is shown for both parts A and B (of which B is an alternate for A).Can this functionality be achieved?
