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?

Can my IFS9 List my multi structures and their sub components, to review for accuracy of even print out?  Jim

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?

Dear forum members, do have idea how to modify the inventory part Copy Part function defaults in IFS10 ? Currently used defaults are containing lot of risks, example at alternate parts.  

Hello There, Currently, I am in the SHOP FLOOR WORKBENCH window and trying to approve an operation for a specific lot/batch. Before doing so, I am supposed to enter the inspection results for the Control plan. Within that “enter inspection results” window, there is a field named “Unit of measure” that displays the value. I would like to know, if it is possible to set up “UoM” ?ora window to look at the pre-defined UoM values for a specific operation ? Looking forward to your responses.

Is it possible to assign multiple resources to a shop order operation?Example: A Shop order operation is routed to Work Center “X”.Work Center X is made up of machine resources X01, X02, X03, X04.  A small order will run on X01 only while a large order will utilize all 4 machines. Can X01,X02,X03, and X04 all be assigned to one shop order operation?An attempt was made to manage it with multiple work centers where X1 represents 1 machine, and X4 represents all 4 machines, but this skews capacity views when a resource is assigned to multiple work centers.

Dear Sir; Before delivery parts to the customer,  the parts (inventory items) are packed by packing material (inventory items) with a standard numbers for each packing material.I would like to consume appropriate numbers of these packing material, following the numbers of parts delivery. Does IFS have any function like packing BOM? Regards;Yasuda 

Community, Does anyone could tell me the difference between the option ‘Yes” and “Allowed”? please see the parameter in distribution and manufacturing screenshot attached. Thank you. 

We are new to submitting VAT reports in Germany.  Does anyone know how we need to go about it?  Looks like we need to register with Elster to get a certificate.  If we save the VAT file to a FTP folder, can Elster pick it up from there?  Any help would be appreciated.

Community, We are using APP10. in current Lobby, for shop order planning alert, we can only see very simple data, i.e. data from planning alert window. We would like to build a consolidated data source to display all the info, e.g. project ID, shop order no, component no, quantity short, required date, earliest planning date, especially, what the supply info would be, e.g. purchase requisition, purchase order, status, lead time, and etc…i think the difficult part is the supply info, there is no one to one pegged order info available (inventory order). in window Inventory Availability Planning this window, usually the supply order(purchase requisition/purchase order) due date would be the same as the shop order component required date.does anyone has this SQL statement already, mind to share it with me?Thank you.

Kindly share if you have any document . I need to understand more about PRJT11 and following postingsPRJC13 Multi-Company Project Personal Costs Invoice for the Customer Company PRJC14 Multi-Company Project Non-Personal Costs Invoice for the Customer Company

Does IFS have a way to list Single Lot requirements on Product Structures? We currently machine parts that require a single lot of material to be used for the full order.  Is there a way to capture that requirement?  

Has anyone used the Define Modification in IFS in conjunction with CRO? I have returned units that require to be converted to another part number and Modification seems to be able to do that. Although I have read through the help, it is not very intuitive how to set up and create a task list on the CRO Repair line to actually carry out the mod. Grateful if anyone who has done this could share their experience. Thank you.

Hi Guys, In the Quality Management > Tool > Tool Instances page, in my “IFS Training Environment”, when the “Next Calibration Date” has passed, the validity does not change from “Active”. Is there a way to make the Tool Instance Validity change from Active to Hidden, when the Next Calibration Date has passed? Again, thanks very much for your assistance. Regards, Calibration Guy
