Contexts - can they be duplicated

I am using Contexts in Aurena and using Context mapping by user groups (all working well in UPD10) HOWEVER what I would like to know is does anyone know how to duplicate a context.   Reason being - I have created a context for Frontline but I have 3 user groups that need to use this context and context mapping will not allow me to assign more then one user group (unless I’m doing that wrong as well) and I don’t want to have to do all the page updates in each new context. Hope this makes sense and somebody has an answer.  :-)

MRO interim order structure-Automatic Disassembly

In MRO interim order structure, when you RMB on a level of the tree navigator and go to Automatic Disassembly, you have the option 'Include Sub Levels'. This is automatically checked. I do understand it's being automatically checked when you RMB from the header, but when you do so from the navigator I believe it shouldn't be checked automatically as we want to disassemble the MRO SO interdependently

Project Gantt Dependencies - "Schedule" overwrites start dates

Have any other users of the system been able to find a work around with Gantt dependencies when using the scheduler? Our PMs are getting frustrated because they spend time linking dependencies together and then the only way the schedule button on the Gantt view aligns and considers those dates is to just push everything back to the earliest start date of the entire project. It’s not workable for them, just wondering if any other customers have a smart work around.

Apps9 Manufacturing Tool Calibration

Hello,We are just starting to use manufacturing tools and I’ve managed to get our inspection gauges (job specific) into here too. I have seen that you can state when last calibrated and the interval time and this calculates when it next requires calibration. However I can not see any standard functionality in Apps9 to see who calibrates and how to see when calibrations are required apart from going into each record. Am I missing something or will I need to do some customization with reports and custom fields for supplier of calibration? Or is it simpler to link to a serial object and use the service and maintenance module to do this?Thanks for any input here, much appreciated.

Looking for best practices how to handle data access (sites+roles) on a multi-company-site Installation IFS 10

We have IFS installed in one Site and will start the rollout into other entities soon.On the one hand, we are hesitating to grant access to all employees to all data, new and old sites, but on the other hand is might be useful to have read only access on other sites.Desadvantage of having access to other sites data: may lead to confusion, more results out of a search, but not all within the own site.Advantage: being able to copy data, which might be useful.Another idea would be to add a globally used company and site for masterdata and knowledge exchange.What approach have other IFS 10 customers for this challenge?Thank you for sharing your solution with me.Regards Martina

Repair Shop Order issue

Hello, I am working on a process to salvage a component part from an Inventory Part. Essentially, we manufacture a top level part 12345. At times, the part may fail inspection. We are able to push out the internal components and salvage the exterior part: 54321. The components themselves would be scrapped (PN: 98765).I am not sure if I could use the Repair Shop Order function to handle this process. The help section does not go into specific detail about how to setup the Routing and Product Structure for this process. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Performance issue in the project connections window

We are experiencing a performance issue in the project connections window. The Screen "Project Connections" is very slow to load, depending on the physical location and the size of the project, it can take up to 20 mins to get a result. This is connected to the case G2227269.Best regards,Elath.

Disassembling Finished Goods

Hello,We have a need to disassemble finished goods and put the components back into inventory. The component may be serial and/or lot tracked. We would also like to track labor to disassemble product if possible. Below is a list of things we have tried so far but are currently stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Disassembly Shop Order Multiple IFS consultants have told us this transaction is tied to the Repair module and isn’t meant to un-manufacture Inventory Parts. Manually count components back into inventory Cannot track labor to disassemble Throws off cycle count accuracy Creates inventory from nothing Individually counting in 50+ parts with serials/lots is very time consuming and has high potential for user error. Reverse Shop Order (Reopen, Unreceive, Unissue, etc.) Cannot track labor to disassemble May have to disassemble across financial periods (months, quarters, year) and Finance does not want us to do this. Creates variance on Shop Order Repair Shop Order w

Prerequisites to take care of prior to Implementation

Hi, I have just joined a manufacturing/defence company that has chosen IFS apps 10 as their erp of choice. I have supported users in the past but never been part of an implementation. They are asking me to put together a list of information we need to gather from the users that will help the implementation and config. Does anyone have any pointers/document?The only info I have is that IFS has listed these modules as within the scope: Distribution, Engineering, Finance, Project, Human Resources, Health & Safety, Maintenance, Program Management, Production (work orders etc.)

Control Plan Acceptance Sampling Customizing

Has anyone done any customizations or modifications with respect to Acceptance Sampling set-up for Control Plans?  Specifically, I am looking to see if anyone has used the ANSI version of Acceptance Sampling versus the ISO 2859 standards used in IFS.  Also the ISO 2859 standards only apply to Data Points of type “Attribute”.  I have a scenario where we would like to use the ISO Standard to calculate the sample size, but would like to use that on a Variable data point.  Currently this is not possible, has anyone found a work-around or done a modification to enable this?  Thanks!

Shop Order Scrap of Serial Part and As-Built Structures

Looking for methods anyone has used to handle the following:Apps10 update10Manufacturing a serial-tracked, lot-tracked, multi-level tracked part through (4) operations. Lot size = 5, manufacturing serials 1-5.Site is set to auto-build the tracked structures.All component material is issued, all of which is serial and lot-tracked also.At op #2, I want to scrap serial #1.After performing a scrap for a quantity of (1) (cannot designate the serial I am scrapping, i.e., not going to receive), I delete serial #1 from the list of reserved serials, which alters the relations in the as-built structures.What has been your experience in best practice for getting the as-builts correct after scrapping a serial part? Do not auto-build ahead of time? Wait until receipt to build them and alter them?

Inventory Value unit cost

Hello All,We recently had a bunch of turnover in our Accounting department and with that a good portion of IFS knowledge went out the door :(  Anyway, all our parts have the following set-up on the inventory part record:   What we are trying to understand is how does the Unit Cost on the Inventory Value tab on the Inventory record gets updated?  We have lots of parts (both purchased and manufactured) that have estimated material costs as well as  (latest purchase price or average purchase-if purchased) whereby the Unit cost = 0.00.  Example:  Is there IFS jobs or processes that need to be executed to have this value updated?  Basically, how does the inventory values get maintained in the system?  Thanks, Mark

Alternate Parts Functionality

We are looking into using the Alternate Parts Functionality.  What is the difference between setting up the Alternate Part on the Part Master / Alternative Parts tab and the other two screens (Alternate Purchase Part Base Data and Alternate Purchase Part Base Date). While testing, it seems thatentries made on the Part Master screen don’t have any underling functionality other than copying the information to the alternate part.  No information appears on the Alternate Purchase Part Base Data and Alternate Purchase Part Base Date screens. entries made on the Alternate Purchase Part Base Data and Alternate Purchase Part Base Date screens copy there information back to the Master Parts TabI am trying to determine the business process.I have not seen where any entries on the Alternate Purchase Part Base Data and Alternate Purchase Part Base Date screens effect Customer Orders or Purchase Orders.  What am I missing here… any info would be appreciated.
