(Apps 9) - Is there a way to add a package part with a Supply Code of “Int Purch Dir” or “Int Purch Trans” to an intercompany/intersite order? thanks!

I was looking for input and an explanation of the IFS Manufacturing Cloud Version.  I’m hoping to understand how long the cloud version has been readily available and if the base code behind it was redo from version 10.  If there are many companies currently using it(let’s say more than 50), or is it still in its infancy stage?

Hello All,I am trying to update a report using report designer. There are standard document codes used for certain documents and a company footer.

Hi All, Environment: 21R2. As highlighted, the Account has been set as ‘60111’. In the ‘Project Accrual Posting Analysis’ window, it can be seen that the relevant record is showing Account <60111> which was set through the ‘Project Accrual’ window and not what is set in the ‘Posting Control’ window <70147>.  Is there a setting to override the Default Value that is set in ‘Posting Control’ window and display the Account that is selected in ‘Project Accrual’ window? Best regards,Devni

Please explain the concept behind DDMRP in IFS Application.

I have a user that is requesting that the default planner ID from ENG Part be set to one user for manufactured parts and a different user for purchased parts.  The only place I know to set this is on the Sites Per User screen under Default Planner ID.Is there a way to have two based on the type of part? TIACindy 

This issue is relevant to case ID G2261747-A.Need to get know how is the field Total cost/Base amount in the mask Detail Statistics- Invoices Sales for specific statistic number is calculated.   The below attached screenshot shows the column of the total cost calculation that needs to be known and what methods/background does it have with the total evaluation.  

Hi, We are production company and we are using assembled semi-finished products on our finished products.These assembled semi-finished products have their own BOM in IFS under “Structure”.In our product BOM list, these semi-finished products added.The question is;Is there any way to make these semi-finished products as Phantom so when we put to the BOM, only the parts under the code will added to the BOM not the semi-finished product code.

Hi. we are using Apps 10. We are using MS level 1 set at Make-to-stock and have input our desired forecast, run MS and MRP for components which has generated all the required requisitions perfectly. we have then loaded and released a customer order for the MS part but when we run site MRP it does not consume any of the MS forecasted supply and generates additional requisitions by MRP creating unconsumed supply. What can be causing this to happen?regardsJamie 

Requirement/scenario: To make sure we have enough material (Components) to produce a finish product, and the material isn’t sold or used on another Shop Order, we need to be able to reserve some planned scrap. But, when we produce the product, we need the ability to report actual scrap and issue Material (Components) only for real/actual scrap. We can’t have the planned scrap automatically issued.Currently in IFS: When selecting the Reserve/Issue Planned Scrap checkbox, IFS will reserve the planned scrap but will also issue it regardless of if you have actual scraps or not.Question: Wondering if anyone else in the community has a similar requirement and how do you handle it?We’re currently having to perform manual reservations for each such components.Thank you in advance!Maximilien

We are looking for ways to plan and control the production of high volume parts somewhere in the middle of a more complicated product. One way would be to use Production Line Management. But since the parts are serial tracked and we need as built structures, we cannot use production schedules. So generating shop order requisitions from the proposed schedule would be an option. However, MRP does not seem to see these as supply for its demand. I get a shop order requisition from MRP too. That does not happen with a production schedule. This seems inconsistent to me. What’s the idea?

I am trying to add a custom field to the page Handling Units in Stock, however the entity for the page, HandlingUnitInStock, does not show up in Entity Configuration.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue.  TIA

Hello, Is it possible to show/get the shop order number on to the customer order lines screen ?I know I can get that by going into IMAP, but is there an API call or something by which I can show the shop order number on the customer order lines ?

Hi I have read this, but have a slightly different problemUndo Delivery of Customer Order Line with Supply Code of Service OrderI have a WO with a Connected Customer Order on the CO information tab and the order type Normal OrderIf I create a Invoice PreviewAnd approve it the lines are added to the existing Customer order The lines are added in status Released but my problem occurs when the lines have been delivered/ invoiced.So If I then want to revoke approval (which I need to do to create credit lines) on the Invoice PreviewI get this error in the background.If the customer order lines where invoiced the same error would occur but would be “The operation "SetCancelled" is not allowed for Customer Order Line objects in state "Invoiced".      And if I try to undo the delivery I get this error Does anyone know of a way to get around this?

Hello,I have a problem: I have two outside operations in my shop order. I split each operation into two. Then, I received the first three lines ( I processed the first three purchase orders) and the lines closed.By mistake, I reopened the three lines from the "Report Shop Order Operation" screen. The three rows changed to "Partially reported" status and since then I can't close them. I tried to reopen the orders and close them again and it did not work. I have searched everywhere but with no result. The problem is that I can't receive the fourth line , I have an error message that says the first two lines are not closed. Thank you  

Looking to adjust the manufacturing lead times manually in IFS. Inventory part planning parameters doesn’t have the field and the manufacturing tap will not allow manual entry. Has anyone updated the manufacturing lead-times manually for planning purpose? 

Hi All,Looking for some advise/ your thoughts:Historically we have locked our Structure/Routing levels to Restricted.  We see this as impractical as it leaves us potentially un-flexible in conjunction to change requests, awaiting approval for minor changes. For the time being we are looking to move to enhanced. Allowing us to to make basic numeric changes on the structure and routing without being able to add or delete. This seems sensible, but simplistic seems fine as long as there is a level of trust. Have any of you set view only permissions to groups of people for Routing/ Structures? Is this easy to set up?  Structure Routing security levels  Appreciate your thoughts! Alex

Hello All, I am unsure if the functionality exists in IFS, but I am curious if it is possible to drive Shop Order creation based on demand for a certain part number. As an example we make Part A and Part B that reside in the product structure of Part C. We would like to have the system drive demand to both parts regardless of what the on hand inventory is for the part that MRP did not plan for. So, if MRP drives demand for part A, we would like for it to also drive demand for Part B at a specific ration (2 to 1 as an example). The reverse then being that if MRP drives demand for part B, there is also a Shop Order created for Part A (at a ratio). 

Hello All, How lead time calculation will work in routing screen if we enter overlap quantity or percentage. I trying to enter many scenarios but every time i get a different calculation.’ Kindly help me to this calculation. Thank you in Advance.

Hello together, can somebody tell  me the difference betwees the process blocks in Scope Tool of “Calculate Manufacturing Lead Time” and  “Calculate Lead Time for Routing”? Thanks, Markus

HiI have an example where APB seams to be ignoring supply .Having Part 1425517 pm actuator as a component below changes the planned finished date from October to the following February this is despite pegging to supply due in October (so 3582).There is also ample resource capacity in oct/nov to manufacture both. All parts supply are inventory, Parts are Finite scheduled.No other demand for part 1425517 exists. No condition code.No location restrictions. Result with pm actuator as component Result Without pm actuator as component I understand that the Feb. date is using the inventory part lead time but i would of thought that actual supply would be taken into account. All help very welcome as this has got me scratching my head.Thanks Ian

Hi everyone,This might be a bit long but please bear with me.Our facility (Company A) manufactures a product which is sent to a sister company (Company B) for a specific operation to be performed. The product is then returned to the original company for further processing. We operate using recipes and produce in batches with lot control so our first attempt to set up this scenario is as follows: A Shop order is created to mix the original product  A Shop order with an outside operation is created for the work being done by the sister company. The material for this shop order is the original product. Step 1 was simple. We created the original productWe are having some trouble with the details of Step 2Company A - The shop order for step 2 creates a purchase requisition for the sub-contract work Company A - The req is converted to a PO and sent to the supplier (we use the intercompany messaging) Company B - Receives the incoming customer order and converts it into a customer order. Which

Can we have several structure for one product? If yes, how do we know which structure will be applied when raising a PO for sub-contracting?

Hello, Is there a way to copy base profile changes to personal profile without doing any changes in Personal Profile?For eg:Let’s take ‘Active Work Order’ screen.In Base Profile the layout is like:Col1    Col2     Clo3    Col4    NewCol1     NewCol2 Personal Profile layout like:Col2    Col1     Col3    Col4 So now I want to add these 2 new columns(NewCol1,NewCol2) in personal profile without changing it’s current layout like:Col2    Col1     Clo3    Col4    NewCol1     NewCol2 Hope the question is clear enough. Thanks
