Morning we are using IFS APPs 10 and currently reviewing how we plan and schedule our manufacturing shop orders. Currently we run MRP followed by CRP once a week which will generate all purchase and manufacturing requisitions with a mix of dates past due and present.When we convert a requisition we release the shop order straight away (with some dates in arrears) but only when the manufacturing department request replenishment ,to me this seems an incorrect method to adopt.I have prosed that once we run MRP and CRP, review the action messages and are finally happy with the plan and schedule, that we then convert all requisitions to planned for the current month and then release shop order to the manufacturing departments 1 or 2 days before the shop order is planned to start. This way MRP wont reschedule the requisitions each time it runs and will be able to measure the schedule adherence of all manufacturing departments and the accuracy of the planning.The question i have isWill it neg

Hi,If an employee reports in the Shop Floor Workbench on multiple operations concurrently, there is a time share calculated and shown in the time card day (tab "Mfg Clocking").The duration of the clocking records is calculated automatically based on this time share value when the clocking is stopped in the Shop Floor Workbench: Clocking Duration = (Stop Time - Start Time) * Time ShareAn exampleDuration = (09:30 - 07:30) * 0.8510637999094638374924393623 = 2 * 0.8510637999094638374924393623 = 1.70 (rounded)(09:30 - 07:30) * 0.1489362000905361625075606377 = 2 * 0.1489362000905361625075606377 = 0.30 (rounded)This calculation is correct. When the employee clocks out his attendance time, the duration of the shop order operations is calculated again:As the basis for the calculation is the already calculated duration used and not the start time and stop time of the operations:1.70 *   0.8510637999094638374924393623     = 1.450.30 *   0.1489362000905361625075606377     = 0.04That is not correct

Hello, Our finance department is attempting a cost roll on some new parts and they are receiving this error: “The sum of the quantity on hand and the supplies does not cover the demands.” Any ideas? Is this a part setup issue or may that the materials used in the product structures are not set up correctly?

Hello, On the customer order the invoice is still printing despite the print invoice checkbox being blank in sales basic data. Does anyone know why?   

Hi, We have a mix up of serial numbers. 2 Parts with the same part number, however the the first one should have the serial number of the second one and vice versa. We cannot just physically change them, the serial numbers are engraved and have different wear (they came back from the client under a RMA) How can this be changed? Rename serial doesn’t work as the serials were allready created in the Part Serial catalog.

is there a way to keep track of old revised recipe structures or product structures . Will there be a revision number..if i choose Restricted in structure/routing update in site setup will that help.

Hi,How can you search for Draft Customer Orders in IFS? ThanksCharlotte 

For Shop Orders we have function “Mass update Shop Order structures” which you can use for component replacement in many Shop Orders at once. Do we have the same function for DOP Orders?

HiI’m having an issue where the operation after a set of parallel operations does not set as executable thus preventing the operation to be done on the shop floor workbench.   

If a component i.e. “AG-TF-SUB-02“ is defined as “Not consumed“ in product structure and is driven by Master Scheduling and the assembly i.e “AG-TF-SUB-01“ which contain “AG-TF-SUB-02“ is driven by Master Scheduling it isn't recognized the  “Not Consumed“ Status of Component AG-TF-SUB-02 and demand for “Not Consumed“ Component Part was created. Would like to know your opinion about this behavior.  Product Structure AG-TF-SUB-1  Master Schedule AG-TF-SUB-1This is correct Master Schedule AG-TF-SUB-02Is this the expected behavior ? Subsequent MRP of Parts work as expected.

Can I phase in and phase out a revision on the same day?

Hi,   Can someone indicate how this page works and its benefit plz.   As it stands, when I paste a part no. into the search and enter the screen the page is blank. Are there preliminary data requirements?   thanks, Joher 

when we use MRP Type code of G with a cover time of 5 days on a Manufactured part,  it does not combine the requisitions into a single requisition.   Has anyone successfully used G codes on Manufactured parts

I’m facing strange IFS behaviour in Routing in IFS10. When I choose “Labor class” then in the field “Setup labor class” there is shown the same record. And after saving it disappears. It is impossible to choose different “Labor class” and “Setup labor class” in one edition. You need to save line and then choose the second value and save again. Do we have a fix for this bug?
