We have about 20 timeclocks and they all appear to have the same time which is about 3 minutes behind the correct time.  The servers all show the correct time and the desktops running them all have the correct time so is there somewhere in IFS to adjust the timeclock time?

Greetings!I have every line filled out in my Interim Demand Header, but is still shows incomplete. I made sure the Part Config is in released status. Everything looks good, how do I fix it? 

Hello, I have noticed that with a defined discrete UoM on a part, you are still able to report and receive into inventory a fraction of a part. I do not understand how this would be possible. Would setting it to a discrete UoM not force you to report whole numbers?Calc Qty Rounding is also set at 0 on the Inventory Part record. Any guidance on understanding how this issue is occurring would be appreciated. Thank you!  

can you think of why on a multilevel repair shop order, after issuing the top level make part (serialized) the multilevel repair structure tab stays greyed out? I am currently experiencing this, this serial has been through a multi-level repair shop order once already to salvage some parts and now more parts need to be salvaged but its not working 

Hi,Could someone please clarify the usage of the “Auto Replace to Alternate upon Reservation” toggle in the Inventory Part?I have enabled this option and confirmed that it is reflected in the Alternate Component. However, after creating Shop Orders and testing multiple scenarios, I’m unable to observe any behavioral difference when the toggle is enabled versus disabled.Could you please explain in which scenarios this option takes effect, or let me know if there are any specific prerequisites or conditions to be met for it to work as expected?Thank You. 

Hello all Wondering if there is possible way to get Auto Report Operations Option when closing shop order from Shop Order / Shop OrdersHere is an picture from approval/receiving shop order dialog from shop floor workbenchHere is the picture from shop order/shop orders, want the Auto Report Operations on shop order level also    

Hi, Is there a way of running the “calculate MS level 1” in a smart way. We have multiple sites and we are distrubuting slaes parts betwen them all. To get the drive thrue the system now i need to run them all two times. Sie 1 Site 2 Site 3 Site 4 and then again Site 1 Site 2 etc So All sites has shared Theres needs to each other. We hare sending parts from site 1 to site 2 and 3 and we are sending parts from site 2 to 1 etc. Is this the right way or?   (I posted the same question in bying as well, no respons there)   Br Jerker

My issue is that DOP/Configured parts manufactured costs that have setup time on routings are bouncing around based on quantity lot size.  When the cost changes for a new order of the same configuration, the shop order standard cost is updating with a new standard based on the effective date.  The result of having a standard cost associated with a quantity of 2 being applied to a different order for 672 creates a significant variance for margin calculations.  We use DOP orders for our configured parts, so our planning method is “A”.  Even though they are configured, we manufacture like parts and therefore we want to smooth out setup costs by a fixed std lot size.  I processed an item for a quantity of 1 but have the std. lot size set to 62.  When the DOP and pegged shop orders calculate cost, it is based off of a unit of 1 and not by the 62.  Is there a way to have a different denominator for setup on DOP parts for calculating costs and related standards?

Community, Does anyone know IFS Auto Reservation will consider the part revision?we are on APP10. Thank you.

I am performing some trialing in our test environment and want to simulate work completed over a period of time. Is it possible to manually change the date and time to be able to perform this trialing all at once? 

Hello Team,Has anyone encountered a similar situation? If so, please share any workaround solutions or decisions you made to address it.We are working with an aerospace customer whose product structure exists approximately ten levels. Occasionally, a component used three levels down in the structure is rejected on a shop order. Our standard process functions efficiently when a rejection occurs at the shop order material line level; however, complications arise when a component deeper within the multilevel structure to be rejected—such as when a part malfunctions during final assembly operations, despite being accepted during respective manufacturing shop order.How do we manage such rejections in the final shop order, and what impact does this have on the build-tracked structure? Please

Hi Alldoes anyone know of a quicker way of entering analysis results on a control plan on Shop Order in cloud. Looks like the change from APPS10 is too laborious having to enter and confirm line by line, especially when several lines to complete.  I know you can filter to view by Data Type on the Analysis Results window, but looks like your unable to enter results on that page.If you were able to enter results here it speed up the process.   Thanks in advance for any help!

Has anyone come across an issue where Shop Order Material copied from a SO on Site A and pasted onto a Shop Order on Site B retains the original Site A connection - even through to the issue of the material?  We have ended up with a Shop Order which has material issued to it on two different sites.  We don’t have any Planning Networks set up.   23R1.10 - moving to 24 soon!Thanks

Hi everyone,I have a question regarding inventory control in IFS Cloud.Is it possible to configure the system so that a specific inventory part can only be issued via Material Requisition, and cannot be moved to production or transferred or issued to a shop order? Example use case:Office paper — should always be expensed directly (Material Requisition → cost), and users should not be able to transfer it to production warehouses or issue it to production orders.

I have a unique process in which a great yield is anywhere between 40%-50%. I’d like to know if there’s a way to have the cost of the scrapped quantity within a shop order absorbed into the parts that are yielded? I only want to this for the small set of parts that are made using this process.  

Hi all, On the dispatch list in the shop floor workbench I would like to have the dop header nr visible. Anyone knows how to make this value visible in the shop floor workbench? With or without a CRIM item. Kind regards. Willem  

Hello.We have a shop order in which the revision is outdated despite the shop order is not yet over, how can we update its revision?ThanksIFF APPS 10 UPD 5

Community,Wondering what is the best option for customer component repair, Work order or Shop Order?We are using APP10, Products are manufactured in house and ship to customer. If customer had issues with the product, it will be transport back to our shop floor.Question: will CRO applied to our scenario? Repair shop order or Work Order, which one is better? we do have both 2 modules installed. if no CRO, which is the best option to bring the customer products back to our site with customer owned ownership?Thank you.

Why does the Alternate Module not contain the same Position Parts as the Prime Module, given that it was not created as a separate template? Should it not inherit the Position Parts from the Prime Module in this case?

Why does the Shop Order Tracked Structure not display correctly in all situations in the Shop Floor Workbench (Dispatch List → Tracked Structure tab) when using the Show commands, sometimes showing “No data” even though all component parts are assigned?  Create a shop order with Order Type = Manufactured for a serial-tracked part.  a. Ensure the serial-tracked part includes component parts that are serial- and/or lot/batch-tracked.  Release the shop order.  Reserve all components.  Navigate to the Shop Order Tracked Structure page and verify that all component parts are assigned.  Navigate to the Shop Floor Workbench.  Open Shop Floor Workbench → Dispatch List → Tracked Structure tab.  Execute Show → Assigned Components. 

Hi all, Is there a possibility in IFS cloud to enrich the pegged shop order number with the dop header number? E.g dop header number is 15, all pegged shop orders will start with 15-…Kind regards, Willem 

Hello,Is it possible to hide items on the Operation Guide assistant of Shop Floor Workbench? It is possible for th main Form using Page designer, but I didn’t find how to make the same modification in the Guide.  

Hello.We have a trouble about the product status field in the inventory part screen.The revision 3 is the current one, but the product status is still set to “not in effect” and it should be “in effect” : The status is actually set to buildable : Any solution?Thanks

Our assembly process requires in-house painted parts.  But historically our paint process has been outside of IFS.  Sometimes we paint a full product, sometimes we paint the front of a product, so we’d like to track the ‘painted’ surface area on each part that is painted.Where would be the recommended fields to keep this information stored within IFS?
