Hi,In a shop order we can see three  cost calculationsStandard cost Estimated Cost Actual CostFor a repair shop  order how this cost calculation is done  ?I can  see standard cost values are inherited from the part cost (cost rollup) of manufactured structure, which is not correct in my opinion. Also when I check  the actual cost, it has taken estimated cost of the components which are used  to manufacture the part. This is not correct. When doing  a repair , manufactured structure components are not used. Repairing is done for an already manufactured part. In repairing process, may be new components are not used at all and only few operations can be take place.I don't see the cost is done correctly in a repair shop order.  Can someone please  describe above  three cost calculations for a repair shop order (Standard, Estimate and Actual)?Note: I'm using IFS Cloud 22R1. Thanks in advance.Kind regards,Yashodha. 

HiDo we have any plans to develope this funcionality in the future? It is much lighter than VIM and could be useful for many customers but it is lacking some critical funcionality (should be possible for company rental assets, shoul be possible to keep the position/line no when changing the structure, multiple lots in one position etc)?Matti

HIi need to retrieve the list of internal customers used in our manufacturing  system,and compare it with the internal customer used in posting control M53 as example.also I need to retrieve the list of cost source used in the system. what shall I do? 

We are having issues with freight being added to an intesite order and holding up the closing of the order and not transferring back to the PO.  Thoughts on why this would be happening? Our scenario is as follows:PO is created by Site A to get inventory from Site B. Customer Order is created from PO in Site B. Site B ships the items to the address for Site A via our shipping tool Freight tracking tab is populated with data Freight gets stranded right now on the customer order Thanks! 

Hi All, I’m getting below error when installing CBS in a customer application server. This customer is in Apps10 UPD13. CBSSERVER user is active in application and db. Also, it is possible access the db using sqlplus. Can anyone help to solve this issue?Thanks,Dilshani

Shop order increases packaging requirements when assembly is scrapped during operation.Example: Assembly lot size = 100. Box on the product structure QPA=1. We need to produce a full lot of 100 so we use increase lot size on scrap option. 1 assembly is scrapped, lot size increased to 101.IFS calculates requirements of 101 boxes however a box is not needed for the scrapped assembly. Is there an option to not include scrapped assembly qty when calculating material requirements?  

Community, a simple question.May I know where to define the objects that will be showing up in below window, object drop down list? please see the screenshot attached. Thank you.

Is there any way to copy part characteristics to purchase parts characteristics in IFS9?If possible, could you please describe in detail steps. Thanks in advance.

In the Manufacturing Visualization in IFS Cloud (21R2) there is a button to navigate to Shop Order. This should either be "Shop Orders” or even better, be able to configure. 

Hi,I’m working with BPA on IFS Cloud 21R2 to automate the creation of a transport task when a pick list line is created.it work pretty well with an event connected with the creation of record on the IFS entity “ShopMaterialPickLine” and a BPA with a call of a projection InventoryPartInStockReservationsHandling.MoveResWithTransportTask.So, when the pick list is created, the transport task is created automatically and you can move the stock between the stock location and the shop floor location via a transport task (via Wadaco for example).Then, in a second step, the stock out of the component can be done. So, it’s perfect for some logistic process in factory (for example when you move an entire pallet to the shopfloor and consume a part of it on the shop order) But, my BPA workflow is working only for one line of the pick list.If there is more than one line on the pick list (2 lots on one component or 2 lines of components), the screen of pick list creation is blocked with a message (se

Hi, How can we set for certain parts/operations, only certain workcenters are possible? That means for example if we use the visualiser and drag and drop an operation to a workcenter which is not allowed, IFS gives an error message? Example: Operation ‘Paint Job’ is possible in workcenter ‘Paint area 1’ and ‘Paint area 2’, however if we try to schedule it in workcenter ‘Assembly area’, IFS gives an alert/error.  Thanks!

Community, the RMB menu Best Fit Search in Engineering Part Revision window, tab Consist of is not enabled. May I know how to make it enabled?

Hi all, I am working on MS and I have been wondering what is the difference between MS0 and MS1. In which case, should I use them? In addition to this, which planning method should I use when I use MS(0-1)? Thanks Ozge

Hi All, How can I change/ remove the no. of Decimal places in below displayed window in IEE?  I have already adjusted ‘Regional settings of the application’ and ‘Region settings of the machine’. Best regards,Devni

What are the minimum requirements for a tablet or PC to run Shop Floor Workbench IFS 9? 

I’m having an issue where I cannot close a DOP order because the associated component supply DOP orders will close even though the ‘completed qty’ and ‘delivered qty’ are for the order amount and the ‘remaining to supply’ is 0 - and neither will it let me manually close it, as I get an error message like ‘cannot close DOP order when DOP parent status is Started’, nor can I find how to update its parent DOP order to recognise that the supply has been fulfilled.Given the above, I would also have expected the component DOP order to have changed from ‘released’ to ‘closed’ within it’s parent orders component listing.Furthermore, I’m also seeing an issue where a DOP shop order can have be ‘completely reported’ and ‘completely issued’, but then cannot be received because of the above DOP order issue.I have set the structure depth to DOP parts, so the supply’s for the components are not being created by the DOP netting process.I’m at a bit of a loss, and any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,For CTO’s Configuration Characteritics(Char),  we can set a Char’s client display to hidden.Then, I have questions:1.Where can we set value for those hidden char?2.Will the Config-ID consider hidden char?     eg: display-char have same value, but hidde- char have different value, will the Config-ID same?

We are using production schedules in part of our factory APS10. We are having issues with operators receiving the entire production schedule quantity instead of incremental amounts. There is a check box on the Site record that clears the quantity to report in the approve operation, but it does not work for production schedules. Does anyone know of a solution or workaround to prevent the operator from receiving the entire amount of the production schedule?

Due to an incorrect Op ID entry on a labor transaction, a closed shop order was systematically re-opened to record the entry. Then the transactions errored out because the project was closed. We were able to resolve the posting issues by re-opening the project/shop order and all the steps associated so they could correct the Op ID. In response to this, I am trying to see if there is a way we could prevent this from happening again. I have reviewed as many resources as possible but don’t see anything to help troubleshoot this. Is it possible to prevent a labor transaction from posting when the shop order and/or project is closed through permissions or some other way?

A weight of configurable part depends on configuration. For example one day we produce configurable product, which weight is 120kg. Another day, there is created new “Configuration specification”, and the product weight is 130kg.  Is there a functionality in IFS10 to calculate automatically weight of configurable part and insert it in “Configuration specification” LU - field “Net weight”? For example after creating DOP.What is the standard solution in IFS for configurable part in Intrastat? Does the weight in Intrastat come from  “Configuration specification” LU - field “Net weight”?

Hello, I am looking into streamlining the current manufactured Inventory Part creation process. Today, our Engineering department uses the Copy Part feature to create a new mfg Inventory Part. Unfortunately, while this process is quick, it has lead to issues where parameters are set incorrect (Inventory Part record form). Most of the time, this is due to the associate forgetting to change a planning parameter, or general part information. I did find the New Part Assistant wizard, but it appears to only work for Purchased Parts and Non-Inventory Sales Parts.I was hoping a wizard similar to the NPA would exist to quickly enter an Inventory Part. I have not found anything, and was curious what other methods may be available to enter the basic data elements needed to start a new manufactured Inventory Part record. 

Hi,  Does DDMRP work with PMRP?  Also, would anyone have a broader answer to what functionality DDMRP is not suitable or compatible with, for example, you can’t have a MS Level 1 part set as Planning Method ‘H’ Buffered Part. This was something identified during testing.  Thanks in advance

We’ve discovered an issue from the looks of it between the net weight entered on the part catalog and the total net weight on the customer order. Our general rule for the part catalog UOM is that we match the inventory UOM as there is no conversion (that we know of) between the part catalog record and the inventory part record. We tend to set our inventory parts up as to how we are going to store/consume the product which we believe is best practice.Either way, one of our parts net weight for a CS (which is our inventory UOM and Part UOM) is 220 lbs. We have this setup to SELL in EA (we have 200 EA/CS and 1 EA is .005 of a CS). What happened is, our customer, who also orders in eaches, put in a desired qty of 2000. It looks like the conversion is not looked at as the total net weight of the order turned out to be 440,000 lbs when it should have been a total of 2,200 lbs. I can get to this number if I multiply the qty requested (220 lbs * .005 conversion gives me my EA weight then multi

Do any IFS users, operating in an electronics product manufacturing environment, effectively utilise IFS to facilitate batch traceability of their manufactured products?I would like to explore ways to achieve this and would be greatful if any current users would be willing to share their experiences / ideas….

Hello! There was an issue where a change order was canceled prematurely with CO actions still assigned.  This has caused an issue where these actions still show up in queue to be completed, but the actions cannot be edited with the CO in a “Canceled” state and the CO cannot be deleted as it is used in 12 rows in another object… which would match the 12 action items assigned. That can’t be changed. This has caused a circular impasse and would really appreciate any advice on how to either delete the canceled change order or the actions so that these can at least be removed from change order action queue.  Thank you!
