when a shop order is re - opened how does the standard functionality work for the close date ? Does it get cleared automatically ? Or does the last close date remain as it is until the shop order is been closed again (in IFS 7.5 and upwards) ?

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to restrict Shop Floor workers from Closing out an operation from the Shop Floor Workbench? 

Hi All, Surprisingly, I can’t appear to find any topics on this within the forum.  My client is a food producer of time limited perishable items (such as dairy). In IEE IFS plans in a day by day format. If you have a multi level structure, say 4 levels, this could potentially mean a 5 day lead time on the Top level component which is not ‘’real world’’.This all needs to be planned on the same day (all materials are available on site). This doesn’t refer to a situation when a material needs purchased and the lead time to get it in is 10 days. My question is, Intraday (sameday) Planning is Active in Cloud and covers this scenario. Has there been any work on Intraday in Aurena that can be utilised?  Thanks in advance. 

Dear IFS Community,A prospect of ours is creating vehicles that must comply with the EASA POA regulations. They are looking to use IFS Cloud for their manufacturing process but have also asked if and how they can bring the support for POA regulations into IFS Cloud?  In this way it's one single system instead of having to maintain a manufacturing system and a kind of quality system for the EASA regulations.Their designin is done in a separate system/unit so the DOA is not required to be in IFS. Maintenance is a discussion for the future.Any help is welcome on how to support the POA in IFS Cloud :)Cheers,Stephan 

HiCan you by configuration set system so that characteristic values from Main Part would be automatically copied to Inventory and Purchase Part or is it a modification. 

Greetings, IFS Community. Sometimes, when we right-click on a line, the following pop-up window appears. The behavior does not occur on all lines, only on one or two.  Occasionally, when I right-click, the following window appears.  What is the reason for this window pop up to appear? Any idea why? 

Hi, We have a scenario where a contractor comes in to do some work on a shop order. However, it doesn’t really matter when he does the job. Once he can start, the PR may be sent. In the meanwhile, we continue the operations on the SO. When he can do the job, he can do it.example:We have a SO with 20 operations. As soon we reach Operation 5, the contractor can come. In the meantime we continue with operation 6, 7, 8, 9,… untill the end. One time the contractor will come at operation 8, other time at 10, etc. Doesn’t matter. How can we easily do this in IFS? With the outside operation, our part is ‘blocked’ untill the operation is done. Making a manual PR doesn’t connect the cost with the SO. 

We are in Apps9 Update 13.  When using Mass Update Shop Order structure on a SO assembly part with 20+ characters, the job errors.  It’s fine with 18 or 20 but over 20 and it falls down.   ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.SHOP_ORD_UTIL_API", line 11747ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.SHOP_ORD_UTIL_API", line 11792ORA-06512: at line 1ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.TRANSACTION_SYS", line 1454ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.TRANSACTION_SYS", line 692ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.SHOP_ORD_UTIL_API", line 11747ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.SHOP_ORD_UTIL_API", line 11792ORA-06512: at line 1ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.TRANSACTION_SYS", line 1454ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.TRANSACTION_SYS", line 692ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.TRANSACTION_SYS", line 1239 Is this a ‘known known’, does anyone know?  Is there a bug fix at all?  Anyone else encounter this?  I can’t believe we’re the only company with part numbers between 21 and 25 characters. Any info/suggestions gratefully received.ThanksLinda

When attempting to Execute Transport Task an error message appears that says “ the quantity reserved for part *** on site *** at location **** should not be negative” I am not able to execute or delete TT.  How do i fix this? thanks!  

How can I access any. documentations how each manufacturing modules work? Where can I get any user guide specific for manufacturing?  

Dear community,I would like to know if someone uses, in IFS Cloud the fields reference number & reference type in the manufacturing routing operations.In fact, we are currently in Apps8 with a pending project of IFS Cloud upgrading and these fields are new notions which did not exist previously. I do not understand really what kind of information can be fulfilled and how they can be used in the manufacturing flow.Thanks in advance for your help  

I have  a SQL Column:   EMAIL_ORDER_CONF_DB in CUST_ORD_CUSTOMER_API  (Customer/Order/Misc Customer Info) and I would like to retrieve that same tickbox as  Custom Field to Customers – Sales Specific Information. How can I do that?

I have a customer in Apps9 that is seeing the following behavior.When a shop order is created from a shop order requisition for some parts, the Priority Category on the shop order is systematically being assigned a value.How would this be possible?It is not possible on the Inventory Part to define a default Priority Category. These parts are not using any Shop Order Auto Processing types. There are no custom actions performing the insert of this value.They are using history logging of Insert and Update of PRIORITY_CATEGORY in SHOP_ORD_TAB, but looking at a shop order for which the Priority Category has a value, this history log record for insert shows as: 

Working with recipes using Percents in Cloud 21R2 that is working fine.  However when a shop order is created for the recipe there is no references to the original recipe %’s, just “Quantity Per” and and total qty required of each component.  In this case the machine operator needs the percentages as they use them in machine set-up.  We can of course print the standard recipe for reference, but we have several scenarios that are presenting big challenges, any suggestions or previous solutions for these would be very appreciated.Some things that complicate this - we have a main recipe or product structure for the product, which includes a phantom component that is a recipe.  And is some cases there can be more than one phantom recipe component, with different percents in the finished good.  So the math can get pretty complicated when trying to manipulate a shop order and material quantities if adjustments are made.  We really want to keep the Phantom Recipe concept for ease of maintenan

Currently when we click “Start Production” on shop floor workbench it defaults to eastern time, is there a way to change this to pacific time? 

Some of our users are getting a strange error when trying to RMB / Deliver on a Shipment.Has anyone seen this before or can provide any insight?  Looks like some kind of config tied to the employee (i.e. this works fine for some users but not others) and we’ve ruled out Permission Set security.ORA-20110: Voucher Type() is not related to function group (B) Apps10, SP9, using IEE. Thanks,Nick

Hello fellow users,I’m in the process of setting up order points for a list of low cost items. I also want to include the max qty  (order-up-to-level) on the report for the buyers.I haven’t found a place for the MAX QTY to be entered, but there is a field labeled “Max Lot Size” in Inventory Part/ Planning Data tab.Does anyone know of another place to enter the MAX (order up to ) qty?

Hi, In APB: How can you easily see which compononents of your shop order operation are not/ will not be available? We can set the part as (always) finite, but if I understood correctly that just prevents it from scheduling. Where can you easily see why you can’t schedule it sooner? Or is there an option where you can see if you would schedule it sooner, these component will be at risk? Currently, we plan in APB, save and afterwards check the planning alerts and replan. Thanks!

HelloOur company would like to start have equipment and tool management in IFS10.  The purpose is to have equipment/tool overview/management , and some activity being recorded and reminded to take per due date.. ), but have some questions need you help clarify: In IFS10 functions, what is the different of Functional/Serial object and Tool/Equipment? which one it more suitable for us to use?  Now we record these equipment/tool in IFS10 as Fixed Assets>objects with certain object group, in the future, how these two function can be linked together? Your quick reply is appreciated. ThanksSusan  

Good Day, Is there any expert here that can give me documentation on IFS Costing?99% of our clients use Manufacturing and it will really help me to get an understanding of how costing in IFS works.

Is there a way to block sales part from using a discount without using customer agreements?I want a certain group of parts to NEVER receive a discount. Thank you

We have an operation on a SO that was closed and reopened that we can not see in SFWB.  The operation shows as Partially Reported.  I have tried the different Selection and Dispatch Rules and it didn’t help.  You can see it with the Shop Order entered, which doesn’t help us, we have folks using it based on their work center. 

(IFS 9) We are looking for suggestions on how to receive large shop orders for serialized, configured parts. There are only a handful of components on these orders.  When we receive CTO, serialized parts on shop orders with a lot size over 1,000, it takes approx. 1 minute to receive each part. On smaller orders, it takes seconds. We have tried receiving  in batches as well as in the foreground and background. None of these options have increased performance.  Any suggestions on how to handle this scenario would be appreciated!

When closing an operation assigned to a line item on a shop order the part is automatically issued unless the item’s serial number is not identified. This becomes an issue when the part hasn’t been picked, but the operator approves the operation anyway and it auto-issue’s the part. Is there a way to disable auto-issuing? Notice backflush is not checked in the picture. So it’s not technically backflushing. Would appreciate any input!
