Hi IFS Comunnity, Bartender Software is used by our company to generate labels. Does any of your company use Bartender software? If so, how can you connect IFS to Bartender to print shop orders with barcodes? In my proposal, I would like to create a right-click option to generate a window where the user is able to select the type of label and then print it. I would like to know how others have printed labels from IFS.  Please share any documents with me that you may have. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.We are still using IFS9 Sincerely,JL

Hello,  When trying to print the barcode label from ‘register arrival’ page I get the following error.  

Apps10 Update15 AurenaIt appears that using a packing instruction consisting of more than one level with production schedules does not work the same with partial receipts as it does with shop orders. Each partial receipt against a production schedule creates a HU on the lowest level, as expected, but a new top level HU is also created for each receipt transaction.Example:Two-level packing instruction consists of (10) BOX1 on (1) PALLET1. I can pack a maximum of (2) part 123 in BOX1. I have a Production Schedule for (20) part 123. I report (8) complete. HU (2226) is created  for PALLET1 with (2) HUs (2227, 2228) created for BOX1. All as expected. I then report (8) more complete. A second HU (2229) is created for PALLET1  with (2) new HUs (2230, 2231) created for BOX1.I expected the (2) new HU for the BOX1, but I did not expect the second HU for the PALLET1. I would expect some method to re-use the first HU of PALLET1, as with shop orders, but I have not found a way to do this.Is this ev

Hi guys , I have some questions :What is the role of efficiency or labor class resource ID in Manufacturing Labor Class and how to change the value ? Is the definition for Efficiency? In the help menu, the Utilization is mentioned and not the Efficiency Is there a window that shows the schedule of Labor Class Resource ID or the Load per Resource ID ? Why is there a column for the Labor capacity in Labor Load per Labor Class window and when you switch to the chart you cannot display these values on the chart ?Data view :Chart :Finally, there is a document that includes all the information from IFS for Manufacturing, Supply Chain or other departments.Many Thanks,

Hi. we are using APPs 10 and have just started using the electronic Kanban replenishment function to replenish our line side stores.however we have came across an small issue of a Kanban replenishment request generating a transportation task for two different batch's of the same material to supply the Kanban demand of 300 ml of Loctite 770. (below)The problem is the inventory is a liquid raw material in a 300 ml container which we are not able to decant.in this example we have set the Kanban circuit Qty to 300ml (same quantity as 1 can of Loctite) thinking it would only fulfil the demand if there is enough stock of the same batch available. is there away setting that creates a rule only inventory with equal or great than on hand stock is used to replenish the Kanban replenishment request?regardsJamie 

As an equipment specialist I have access to update structures, but so far I have been unable to find a solution to fix this error that shows up when trying to create a shop order from the CRO Lines screen. Any free advise is welcomed... See attached screenshot...

Few customers have raised the concern of ‘Plan alternate component’ option not being available under PMRP windows in Aurena (Perform project MRP per activity, Perform PMRP per project PNG) is there a specific reason for this system design? Keen to what are the alternate methods available in this regard.

Apps10 Update15I have a production schedule part with four routing operations (10, 20, 30, 40).This part is connected to a production line for which I have defined a Progress Point with a Last Operation No = 20.I report production of (5) at the progress point.I report a partial scrap of (2) at the progress point.In Production Schedule Material History, though, I do not see operation 20 in the Operation No column for the Scrap Product WIP or the Issue Material material history actions.Should operation 20 be listed for these? If not, when would one ever see a value in this field?

Hello, I am attempting to setup volume storage on Inventory Locations and define qty per volume on Inventory Parts, I have configured two bins with 20 and 25 bin values. My assumption is that the total storage between the two bins would be 45. However, it appears to only be 25 max. With both locations empty, if I attempt to move 20 units (I've setup the part for 1 pc = 1 volume), the system states that I can only put 5 units into F2.I’ve verified this by moving a total of 25 units into the locations. I believe I’m not understanding the setup of this functionality in IFS, and the help does not seem to clarify how exactly this should work. Any guidance on the proper setup would be greatly appreciated. 

When trying to print box labels through SFWB it’s trying to do enough labels for all the quantity. Eg. on an 22000 unit order and 324 articles/box, the PDF IFS produces for printing is 70 pages. Another example is workers here expect the PDF format to change automatically based on either the article/box number they enter, or what printer is used for that particular print. So somewhere there are settings for this. It can be circumvented on most machines by manually changing the quantity to print from the pdf to 1 page. But on large orders it will crash.At first I narrowed it down to specific workcenters, but after looking around it almost seems global. If not, it’s wrongly configured on all workcenters. Any ideas where I can start to remedy this? I’m inheriting this issue and quite a novice, so please be patient with me. 

Hi allUsing IFS APPS 10 and keep getting an error message (below) when trying to run a count report on an individual Bay location, I'm using the search criteria below.  this is the error message is getDoes anyone know what could be causing this as this is stock in the bay and the search criteria is correctly spelt?regardsJamie

Hi, Community I’ve created a custom checkbox, set the enumeration and sycronized it. I’ve added it where its intended to be but I cannot check it. Somehow it is set as a ready only field and I can’t make it different. On Presentation Object I’ve found out that the custom field is set as Read Only by a checkbox that cannot be unchecked. I want to place this checkbox custom field on the Return Material Authorization Lines window, and I thought I could remove the Read Only attribution through the Object Properties dialog box, but for some reason this option is unnavailable.Can someone help me to make it not read only?Thank you!!

Hi, We want to implement capacity planning for our assembly and testing areas. But we cannot define the best approach. We can set each possible routing as an alternate, however the possibilties are endless. In a simplified version, let’s say we have an Assembly area which consists of 4 places where we can work on our shop order. It doesn’t matter which of the 4 are used, they are 100% identical. Same principle for our testing area: there we have 2 places, identical.But if we define each possibility with a routing, it will be impossible to keep track. Lets say we have 4 operations in our shop order (in reality it will be more): Operation 10 in an assembly area (4 possibilities), operation 20 in a testing area (2 possible), operation 30 in assembly area (4 possible), operation 40 in a testing area (2 possible). For this simplified shop order, you will allready have 4*2*4*2 = 64 different alternates. So that will not work. How can we still plan according to capacity? Can we set our assemb

Hi,We had a customision created by an IFS partner, the deployment was performed by them in our test system and works as expected but the release we have has just been deployed to our live environment ( by us ) and we are receiving the error:ORA-20105: Active Separate.NOCOMPEMPIMPINCOMAnyone know what this error is referring to… cant really go into too much detail, but thought id ask in case anyone has come across this error before.We are using Apps9Thanks,Mick.

Can we prevent the updating of already authorized project transactions through Project Time Registration using following property code?  If not, what are the other options (Expect controlling through Base Profiles or usage of new event) ?

Hello,Do you have an idea concerning the transaction ID accounting error after counting per inventory part (M7 or M184) :=> “Code part Project must have a value for line  IN Material Requisition”Indeed, after counting my Standard Inventory part (ID project is null), the accounting transaction linked to the accounting M7 (COUNT-IN) or M184 (COUNT-OUT) are in error because it needs a Project_ID even if it is a Standard Inventory. The generation of accounting transaction is working for Project Inventory because the field Project_id is filled, but when it is the Standard inventory, i have the message error in the field “error description” in the inventory transaction history. It would be helpful if someone in the community can help me. Thanks a lot

 When we create a new Structure Revision, IFS automaticaly asigns a phase-out date (“yesterday”) to the previous revision, while stamping a phase-in date (“today”) to the new revision. This seems practical but has some drawbacks:The new revision is born as “Tentative”, as we plan to make changes on it. That is why we are making a revision ;-)If the new revision is not finished in the same working day and set to “Buildable”, if it remains as work-in-progress for a while (“Tentative”), and MRP is run meanwhile,  the Part we are revising is found to have “Not Buildable” revision. And MRP considers there are no components for that part in the structure and triggers a lot of order cancellations as the materials are no longer required.  In my view, a more logical approach would be to set the Phase-out of the previous revision and Phase-in of the current revision when changing the status of the structure revision from Tentative to Buildable. That is, dates are stamped when there is a new revi

Is it possible, in Customer Order Line, to prevent changing the Target Date by permissions? We can’t seem to find the object to be able to revoke permission to change the field.

Hi There,Is there a way to change the quantity of a single part which is used in thousands of boms?I know the structure change feature can be used to change one part for another but doesn't seem to include qty changes. ThanksPaul 

Cannot be found from the  Basic data translation neither.  We would need to do translations for all the used report layouts. Any recommendations how it could be done?

Hi, can we set a max lot size in a DOP structure? Case: Component A is made in a tank of 500L. In the DOP structure, we have a shop order for componenent A. However, if need more than 500L, we would like to have seperate shop orders for each max 500L. Thanks!

Hello, I am attempting to configure the History Logging to capture when Components are deleted from a Product Structure. I have enabled the delete tracking on Component Part, but that still does not appear to be capturing the deletion. Is there a way to log this action using the History logging? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

IFS has a lead time on the Inventory Part, but the moment there is a Shop Order with Operations, this prevails when it comes to lead time calculation. As this might seem logical, it is not. Many companies use fixed lead times per Part and this is now not possible in IFS. Why not have an extra setting on the Inventory Part in which you can choose? And in between should be the option to have fixed/minimum lead time per operation. So in the end we would have a hierarchy:Use fixed lead time per Part Use fixed lead time per OperationIf none of these 2 settings is true, use operation calculated lead time.

Hi All, I have a case, where we need to change the inventory valuation from Standard Cost to FIFO. This requires issuing & re-receiving of all inventory part stocks since the Qty has to be zero to make the change.For issuing we are not able to issue reserved parts & hence this is not straightforward. I would like to know if there is an option to bulk unreserve all quantities on SO Reservations, CO Reservations etc. ?Any option in either IFSAPPS10 or Cloud R1/R2?
