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

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

Hi, The items highlighted in the below-attached image are not on the same screen (Estimate screen) in Aurena. Do these items exist somewhere else in Aurena?  

Community, I have a problem here. We are automatically releasing distribution order to consolidate the demands into one distribution order by due date. since it comes from multiple customer orders, so there must be order lines come with the same part no. so on the picking list, the picking lines are not consolidated by the part no, hence, when doing picking, we might face the same part no, for qty 1 in each, you have to report multiple times for just a same part no.did we miss anything in setup? how to let system to consolidate the picking list by part no?thank you. 

Hi everyone,Can you give information about the estimate module ? Have you any document about the creating a new estimate (material with configuration, engineering to order metarial...) updating a estimate, make inactive , transfer to price list ?Help please.

Hi, We are on IFS 10 upd 3When generating the default manufacturing calendar in one of our sites  we get error:Error while updating Shop Order. Order No: 2722487, Release No: *, Sequence No: *,Revised Start Date: 17-MAR-22, Due Date: 21-MAR-22. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallWhat value on shoporder could cause this issue when generating the calendar? Regards,Anna

Hi All,In our legacy system, when sales order is created, one job order is automatically created with parent item same as sales item being manufactured part (level 0 item) and as per defined bill of materials.( Level 1,2&3). Level 1 items are sub components. level 2 & 3 are raw materials. Level 1 items assembled to get the level 0 item manufactured completely. Within same job order, there will be multiple level 1 items will be manufactured.When level 1 items manufacturing completed, we don't have concept of store credit like in ifs application. That means these level 1 manufactured items still remain in the WIP but in reality the item is moved to next level production process for assembling in the same job order.All the level 1 items remain in WIP until the production process is completed for level 0 item.Currently we have lot of level 0 & level 1 items still under WIP stage.we plan to create one shop order for each level 0 & 1 item

 Hi All,We have a situation where the serial structure was build incorrectly by using the wrong serial on the wrong parent. This wasn’t caught until the child serial no was consumed and a sub-assembly and then the subassembly was consumed on a FG Assembly so now the incorrect serial number is 2 deep. On top of that we’ve crossed financial periods so reopening two levels of shop orders is not realistic.We are on Apps10 - Upd 11.Specific situation:Component A with serial number A was built into the serial structure for Subassembly B, serial number B. This was incorrect. We should have used component A, serial number Y.Subassembly B was then issued to Finished Goods Assembly C, serial number C.The FG Assembly is in inventory. Can we somehow rearranged the structures to reflect the correct build without reversing shop orders.I know how to remove a serial number from a serial structure, just not sure if a new serial number can be ad

how can i get transaction history details for manual receive shop order type :prototype?

Community, would like you to share how you are handling below scenarios, Product A Rev 2 currently is on shop orders, which are started, whereas engineering department issue a new revision of Rev 3. and shop floor are requested to build Rev 3.question is, what is the best practice to handle this scenario? what if the components are installed already?

Community, We would like the shop order to be reserved by operation. my question is, shall this “Shop Order Process Type -  Reserve Shop Order” in Manufacturing Standard Basic Data work? we already have the operation connected BOM. Thank you.

Hi Community need advice on the best method/ practise to use to handle customer order that are required to be in stock but not being shipped until the customer is ready to receive them which is current an unknown due to various factors.We still need to manufacture the parts in the sales quantities but as we are unable to ship the products we currently push the date out until the end of the following month. We have been doing this for several months and now have a customer order book which shows demand to manufacture and ship multiple customer order lines at the end of the month which invalidates the accuracy of the customer order book. (see below)We are currently still invoicing monthly to the custom even though we are not shipping the products physically or on the system.is there a better way we can handle this situation s

We've a situation where we want to have raw material at a supplier and also keep track of this. Its sort of a customer consignment stock but at a supplier level instead. In example we want them to keep steel raw material at their site (to guarantee deliveries and because this raw material is quite costly right now)  and when we buy a finished steel products from them the consignment stock would have to be adjusted accordingly. Is there are solution for this in IFS today? If yes, can you guide me in the right direction I 'vent been able to find anything in the online documentation. 

Afternoon, we are using IFS APPs 10 and are creating new parts number for an existing paint system but wanted to know the cleanest way to transfer the existing material on stock from the old part number to the new part number while keeping traceability?the reason for the change in part number is because we need to use a different unit of measure, as we purchase a product in Litres which is sold in KG, convert into Litres and receive the stock, operators have to mix the product by weight (KG) and then issue in Litres. This can become very confusing and cause stock accuracy discrepancies.regardsJamie 

Hi all,Sometimes we would like to ship more on a customer order than required (E.g. 11 instead of 10). We do not want to change the qty on the CO, so we make changes to the picking list resulting in a negative pegged quantity. That is ok, but complicated - especially when we look at the api’s involved.    We would like to change the reserved quantity to higher value than required, but that is not possible (screen shot below). Is there a way to reserve more qty without making a picking list first? 

Hi,Some questions about the FMEA module: For the same failure, I can add multiple effects and causes. However, to have a correct RPN score, I want to link a specific cause with a specific effect. Currently, IFS always links the cause with the first effect of the list. How can I link it with the second effect? Is there a way to include/see if a FMEA for a subassembly has allready been done in the final assembly? Example: I have subbassemblies A and B, which I manufacture seperately. I have Product structure for C, which consists of A and B. I would like to see in my structure for C that I allready have a FMEA for A. You can check by going to the structure of A, but if A is used in many other structures that wouldn’t be convenientUsing APP10 Thanks!

 Hi, In Shop floor reporting if the planned machine time is exceeded, IFS deletes the scheduled resource . Is there any reason for this .Thanks!Regards,Naveeva

Hi,One of our customers is experiencing an issue. MRP is creating purchase requisitions without any lines (part or no part), so only the purchase requisitions header. But, this is ad-hoc (this happens occasionally).Is there a way that MRP can create purchase requisitions without any lines ?I have checked whether there is any custom task to delete the PR lines of certain parts, but there’s no. Thank you,

Good afternoon,We are struggle with APB, following a nice user guide, we try to take our hands on it but we face a technical issue at point 2.2.6.First, after loading shop order, is it not colored as in the manual:Example from the manual what i observe: when i RMB Scheduling: SO remain unscheduled.Someone could help me to start?
