Hi Community,we want to have part_no keys created automatically by the system.One company is already using several ranges for parts in IFS Apps 10 today.Now we need to develop a concept for Part_no ranges on a global level, which is usable for several sites. Challenges: Using a sequence could provide a part_no which is already in use should we put a prefix per company or simply one ascending number or a combination of both how can IFS Apps support this setup? Or do we need to develop something?How do other customers resolve this challenge?Thank you for any feedback / proposals / sharing your concept :-)Regards Martina

Hi, what is the smootest way to receive more in a defined lot/batch Qty on a shop order? In our current process, the output is variable and hard to predict. Whith the same amount of components, we sometimes produce more (or less).As the finished part is lot tracked, we create a Lot nr up with the expected qty. However, if we produce more, we nowincrease the lot size manually increase the Lot/Batch qty manually adjust the components ‘Qty per assembly’ so our stock is still ok receive the correct ammount I believe there must a more user friendly solution for this? Thanks!

Hello All, I’m attempting to grant access to a user to view the contents of Database Task Chains in IFS 10. I’ve granted access on the Permission Set, and the user can now create database chains, however, they are unable to view any chains they have created. The table is blank when they attempt to populate it. I am able to view the contents, but I have the IFSAPP full grants. I’m assuming there is another area the user needs access to, but I do not see anything in the help that indicates what needs grants. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Community,have this issue in Posting Proposals window, it could be the permission set issue.please see the picture attached, in Posting Proposals window, selection criteria No Arrival for some people, the window does not show anything, whereas some people does have the list. Thank you.

Hi, we are currently setting up a kanban circuit. When the shop order is created, can seperate part numbers be set at forward schedule and others at backward schedule, or is all or nothing.Thanks

During R&D phase Parts are created and manufactured as prototype. In this phase there is no need for tracing (like serial numbering).After approval by the customer, the part will need to be setup for production and some parts need to be set to serial tracked. This however is only possible when there is no inventory and no orders which is almost impossible to achieve because prototype orders are still running.So, the question is: How should IFS Cloud be configured during the part life cycle when it comes to the Master Part Traceability settings?

Using Apps8. Trying to figure out why the notes that are put on a Structure is on every Shop Orders Tracking and History, is there a way to stop them from appearing on the Shop Orders?

Hello Community, We are using IFS 8.Currently we are using the serialized tracking for the parts. I want to convert some of the serial parts to the Lot batch tracking parts.we have to make the Lot tracking process for one site for now.But the issue is If we change the tracking from Serial tracking to Lot tracked parts in master part for all the site that part will become Lot track enabled and while receiving the Purchase order on the other site user they have to provide the Lot batch no mandatorily as asterisk (*) will not allow them to receive.So can we change this asterisk(*) to N/A so that while receiving the PO user for other site user they do not need to type Lot batch no as N/A each time. Your inputs will be helpful.  

Hello IFS,  shop order Issuing component part cost and header part receiving cost should not be different when Qty per Assy is ‘1’ and also there is no BY-Product.But in my case component part issue by Inventory cost 107749.7560 and receive header manufactured part by inventory cost 49564.8878 Both component issue and Receive Qty is 460 nos. and also there is no By-Product or scrap factor or component factor.When it is possible and how this will resolve? 

Does anyone know what PART_COST_BUCKET_HISTORY_TAB is good for?I am considering clearing down part cost history with the ‘Keep History on Part Level’ ticked (so that bucket history is cleared) but I can’t find any reference to bucket history in the system.Can you view it anywhere?

I have a new user that does not have the option to create a credit invoice on the return material authorization. Permissions are matching for someone who has the option when they right click on the page. 

We have expense items that we are setting up to put on the Product Structure that will allow us to perform Where Used and determine what products are impacted by these parts.  We do not want to have these in inventory.  When I created a few test items and did a purchase order, then received it they are now in inventory.  Is there a different way to approach this?  We really want these on a structure to give us visibility, just don’t want them in inventory.   

In APPS 10 We are looking to simplify the login process for our manufacturing shop floor computers. Our plan is to have the clients launch from this link to bypass the IFS Landing pagehttps://ifsserver:49080/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application My question is, can you pass login credentials to the IFS IEE client so it auto logs on?  The only use for these workstations, will be Shop Floor Workbench

Looking for methods anyone has used to handle the following.Apps10 update8On a Shop Order I am manufacturing a serial-tracked, lot-tracked, multi-level tracked part through (4) operations 10, 20, 30, 40. Lot size = 5. Serial numbers 1-5 and Lot/Batch AAA have been reserved for this shop order.My Site is set to auto-build the tracked structures.All component material is issued, all of this material is serial and lot-tracked also. The Shop Order As-Built Structure is completed before I start production.At Operation 20 I want to scrap (1) part, and this part has been physically identified in the shop as Serial No. 1.After performing a Shop Order Scrap for a quantity of (1), I delete Serial No. 1 from the list of reserved serials, which alters the parent-child relations in the system-generated Shop Order As-Built structures for the remaining serial numbers. Note: I deleted Serial No. 1 from the list of reserved serials because during the Report Scrap process on the shop order, I cannot des

Hello,background: we would like to setup the material OH costs so that it is generated by shop order upon withdrawal. The material OH costs should only occur for purchased items.Question: the material OH costs should refer to the withdrawn batch.How do the cost classes/schemas have to be set to realize this?Thank you in advance.Regards Markus

Hello, is somebody familiar with the physical routing in a manufacturing plant of shop order receipts? The customer has several producion offices for production machines in different work places. Now we are searching for the setup of (physical) printers to print the SO receipts. So I am searching for the mask in IFS App10 where to set up printers to each productio office/work station. Thank you in advance/Markus

Hello all, I have noticed that I am not able to modify the CO Priority field in IFS. I have full access, and according to the help, this field should be able to be changed at any point without impact to anything else in the system. I’m sure it is something basic I am missing, but I cannot find anything in the help section that covers changing this value. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Hi,We get an error when trying to open one of our closed shop orders.The error says:-“The Reserved Lot Batch object already exists”Does anyone know how to resolve it - we’ve not seen this error before and other shop orders are able to be re opened.We’re using Apps 7.5Many Thanks for any helpCheersGav 

Our customer is raising the below question.Is it possible to have a different cost for a part in different cost sets?We have several parts that belongs to different structures where we have coming price updates and like to make a simulation of the Total Cost for the parts where they belong. Is there a method to do this?

We are using IFS App10 at our location.  Is there a function within IFS to cycle count items into or out of inventory when the physical inventory does not match what is in the system?  Thanks!

Hello IFS Community,What functionality exists in IFS which leverages a directly connected electronic scale?" A couple example may be populating a weight field in a screen used for shipping, or for identifying a part but the predetermined standard weight in IFS.

Hi, For a customer, I try to use the shop floor workbench : In the lower part of the screen, when I move the 707**10 operation forward, the operation 707**20 does not move (that’s OK). I move the operation 707**20 backward, the operation 707**10 does not move (that’s OK). After this, when I see the operation in the Shop Order, the scheduling direction of operation 20 has changed (at the beginning, it was backward scheduling, as the shop order is) : Then when I come back to the shop floor workbench, I just want to move forward my operation 10 (but not modifying the schedule of operation 20 because I want to keep it at the actual date), the result is that the operation 20 is re-scheduled following the operation 10, and the operation 10 as a scheduling direction changed : Does somebody know how to fix a scheduling of an operation to avoid this ? I’ve tried to changed manually the scheduling direction of the operation 20 to “manual” but when I move forward the operation 10, the scheduling

Our QC analysis results were displaying just fine until we applied  IFS Apps 10 Update 11 - 14 on March 12th.  Now the results recorded during processing of a shop order are not displaying on the Analysis Results.  Anyone else seeing this?  Thanks
