Hi everyone,To let you know I’m using IFS APP 9. We are trying to put a process on our shop order with a subcontractor.This is the scenario :We have a product X , with component A & B. ( I already set up the structure / routing )The product X is made by our subcontractor from component A & B , so we have to send component  A & B. After he mixed component  A & B together he sends us the final product X.We keep the stock in our site because we also sell component  individually to other customer.We have a customer order for product X, which generate a shop order ( beacause we don’t have stock) telling us to prepare items A & B, eveything is correct until the shipping .At any moment we can bring up what's product we send on the delivery note to our subcontractor, so when we get the delievry note after the “Ship WIP to supplier” there is only the operation related to the

Hi Team,I can perform a Where Used for an EPR, and an IP, but for Sales Parts that are Package Components in Package Parts, once the PP’s are created I can’t perform a Where Used when products change and we need to give this consideration as part of the Change Order.Is there any way to do this?Thanks,Wade

Hi, We would like to use attachments in control plan templates, where the attachments of the control plan template are also copied into the created control plans (IFS10) However, that does not seem to work. We create a control plan template, add the attachments. But when we use that template to create new control plans, the attachments of the template are not attached to the newly created control plan. Is there something we do wrong, or is this not possible? If not, does anyone know a workaround besides manually adding the attachment to each newly created plan? thank you!

Some background:We have a custom event action running as a validation on the LotBatchMaster LU intended to ensure 1 part number per Lot Batch #. This is done with ‘pragma autonomous_transaction’ in order for the event to run on a mutating table. In IFS8 performing a “receive by-product” on a shop order with multiple by-products received simultaneously would perform one database transaction per line and our after create action would correctly error if a lot batch number was repeated on that submission.IFS8 has the COMMIT shown after the first line is submitted here, and the next line errors with the event action:In IFS10 it appears that a transaction is opened for the entire submission as a batch, and since the event action is validating outside the scope of the transaction which is in process it is not able to find that

Expectations of „compare Estimates“:We expect the comparison to show the differences in costs and/or scope of work between two estimates. Articles that are not included in one of the two estimates should also be displayed. The structure level should not play a role here. TestsScope of work – differences:Here we would expect that only items are displayed where the amount of work is different.The item „1066611 – Bausatz_Schalter__für_Hydraulik“ is identical in both estimates and is still displayed.Compare Estimate 381 and 482​​​​​​Estimate 381 - 1066611

Hello All, We are wanting to start putting the packaging required onto our Structures so that product demand is driving packaging demand too. However, if we have a shortage of desired packaging we can use an alternative but it isn’t a one to one replacement relationship. Before I go and spend hours trying to get this work thought I’d ask can IFS Apps9 handle this?Thanks Sarah

When changing the Inventory Part Valuation Method from "Standard Cost" to "Weighted Average" and cost level  to cost per lot batch Purchase transaction created with 0 cost although PO line has a price.Is there any reason for this?

Hi,Is there not any possible way to “Ship WIP To Supplier” for many Order No at once and not - One by one? Etc Report Shop order Lines ?

Hi All, How can I adjust the number of decimal places in the ‘Quantity Per Assembly’ field?  I have already adjusted ‘Regional settings of the application’ and ‘Region settings of the machine’ but no impact. Best regards,Devni

Hello all, I am trying to find a way to prevent a Shop Order Operation step from closing automatically in the event there is a failed QA analysis confirmed. I believe a Subtask could be used, but it appears they cannot be attached based on an event. I do not want to require approvals for any Shop Order Operation, only those with a failed analysis. In IFS, is it possible to trigger any sort of event to require a sign off in the event an analysis is confirmed with a failure/out of spec? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

Community, Does anyone has experience building integration with Kardex Remaster? we are going to have Kardex VLM installed in May, and we are looking for IFS integration solution. Thank you.

Hello, I have configured a Subtask with an Inspection Sign Off requirement and qualification profile. I have also set the Site to consider qualifications. However, any account is still able to complete this sign off from the SFWB. The help in IFS seems to indicate this is all that is needed to perform a security check and prevent unqualified accounts from completing the sign off. Is there an additional item that must be configured to activate this functionality? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! 

Hi,Capability Check is not supported with project connection. Capability Check will therefore not be possible to run when the demand order has a project connection in IFS cloud 22R1.    1. This function is possible  in IFS Cloud 21R2. What is the reason for the change(limitation) in this function ? 2. Is there any alternate to do capability check when the  demand order has a project connection ? (in IFS  Cloud 22R1) kind regards,Yashodha.   

I need to add some custom fields in IFS cloud environment to recreate a customer scenario.  Is there a method in IFS cloud to add custom filed directly? Furthermore, if I need to add number of custom fields in IFS cloud what is the best method? 

Hello together,I received a customer question.Prehistory: they set up their material OH costs so that they are generated by backflushing for a shop order when. The material OH should only be applied for purchased items. (This was already achieved in a test).Now the question:they would like to set up the purchase part OH costs especially that they are counted on/to the issued material batch(es) for the shop order (the OH costs relates directly to the backflushed material batch).How do the cost classes/schemas have to be set to realize this?Example: OH costs=10%, average puchase price=10€, price of withdrawn batch: 9€. Then the overhead costs for this should be 0,9€ -> 9,9€ on the shop order for purchased parts.Is somebody familiar with that? Thank you for help in advance! Regards Markus

Hello Community,We just upgraded from “9” to “10” UPD 13.  Production/Quality has noticed MRB’s no longer create in “In Process” ( “9” ) but in “10” create in “Planned”.  This is adding steps (and a little confusion) to the process when creating an MRB via RBM off a Shop Order Line.  Is there any control on the “Default create MRB”?  We’d like to set it as “In Process”.  I’ve looked in all the usual places for this type of setting, nothing…..   Thanks, Troy

Hi All, During our implementation we created custom Move Tickets and Barcode labels to identify product on our Shop Floor. The reports and labels essentially contain the Part Number, Description, Revision, Qty, Operation Sequence, Next Operation Sequence, Work Center, and Shop Order number. We have the PN and SO barcoded on the reports as well. Ideally, if possible, i would like to make use of the standard IFS warehouse labeling reports. However, it appears that the only options would be to print the Shop Order Reports (Work Instruction Report, Shop Order Report). My question is - are these the only reports in IFS that can be used to label product that is being produced? How would work in progress be labeled to indicate where the next WC location the material should be taken to for additional processing? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello, I am trying to connect a control plan for a shop order which is pegged from customer order. IFS is showing me an error that “Cannot connect control plan to this shop order” . Is it a bug or standard functionality ?  We need our QA team to inspect and enter analysis for customer orders created to address quality issues. Please let me know. Thank you. 

Question was raised by one of the customers regarding the following. Customer has ordered 6 of a part for a project.Accidently they receive 12 into project inventory.The mistaken 6 received were counted out and not done as a cancelled receipt.The project still think there are 6 more to ship or deal with yet they aren’t there. How can we close this activity and remove it from the Unfinished Activity work. 

Hello all, I am attempting to resolve an issue related to MRB cases for a single part. Currently, we have an MRB Inventory Location that material is moved to prior to the creation of an MRB Case. The issue I have is that in multiple instances, the same parts may require two MRB cases for nonconformance is. Below is an example of the process.: 100 parts moved to MRB location (PN 12345)50 of the 100 are related to nonconformance - Feature Size50 of the 100 are related to nonconformance - Surface Contamination Today, I can only create one MRB case for the entire 100. I must then make notes in the case to outline that there are actually two different reasons for containment of the parts. This also lead to labeling confusion as which parts have the specific nonconformance. Ideally, if you could simply create two MRB cases, one for each nonconformance, this would allow for correct labeling and management of the disposition for each group of 50 par

Hello all, Is it possible in IFS (10) to have the Lot Size of a shop order increase in the event that the reported qty from Shop Floor Workbench exceeds the original Lot Size amount? Often times we over run a coil fed job, which will result in the original Lot Size not matching the actual reported qty (Lot Size - 1000, actual completed qty 1230). Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
