Hi,What is the best way to handle the below scenario in setting up Manufacturing Control Plan? I have several Data points to check. But the responsibility is divided into Operator, QC and QC lab. Some data points checked by all parties but some by one party. Since we can have only one control plan, I have to register all the Data points under one Control plan and once the Analysis Result generate all the Data points comes in the Analysis Result. So the all data points in the Analysis Result are not relevant for a specific party.  Is there a better way to setup this scenario?

Hi IFS Community,I have a question about functionality so-called Spare Parts, in Engineering Part Revision (TAB).Engineering\PDM\Engineering Part\Engineering Part RevisionQ: Our customer's question is what this tab is for or better - whether it has an connection into some other/next processes, specifically into the service/maintenance, where Spare parts can be defined at the level of Serial objects (also TAB)?An official help (F1) mentions the following: "The spare part list can be copied to the modules IFS/Project Delivery and IFS Maintenance.”Q: What exactly is the possibility to use the filled TAB from PDM in other processes?Thank you in advance for any information regarding this,David

Hello, We acquired a company and are in the process of merging them with our IFS Apps. 10 environment. (FYI>The acquired company is also operating on IFS Apps. 10, too.) The company does have a couple satellite offices and a warehouse which performs all aspects of receiving, shipping, customer order fulfillment and shop order assembly work.  We are leaning towards setting up a 2nd Site for this company. Has anyone prepared a Pros vs. Cons analysis when evaluating the setup of Multi-Sites within your IFS environment?Thanks,Rick Messina

Hello!Is there a way to transfer Inventory part unit cost, which IFS automatically updates, directly to under costing, for example to cost set one? What we would like to do is update our Sales part base prices from costing that way that we could use unit cost value which IFS calculates when receiving purchase parts. So that Inventory part unit cost could be transferred to one of the cost sets under costing and from there it could be transferred to sales part base price. Thanks for all answers!-Eetu 

Hi All,I have successfully managed to replace the IFS Purchase Order report with our own Crystal Report, all works fine.  When you email the purchase order the pdf is attached to an email example : Purchase_Order_18042.pdfthe number in the document name (i.e. 18042) relates to the unique RESULT_KEY field (from PURCH_INFO_SERVICES_RPV)   generated each time you request a Purchase Order print.Is it possible to change the document name so it includes the Purchase Order number and not the Result Key.Thanks.

Hi,Do we have any such functionlaity if we have same stock with multiple ownership (like consignment and company owned) so system should reserve the consignment stock first automatically if we do automatic reservation in shop order.Please confirm. Thanks

Hi everyone,I am looking for a way to dynamically adjust the inspection levels of the orders where the performances of the product parts are used as reverences.The inspection level must be able to become stricter automatically or manually in the event of defects, and more flexible when a series of approvals takes place.Furthermore, there is a need to add standard operations when defects occur.Goal:-Tracking performance parts- (Automatic) shift of inspection levels- Action plan to deal with defectsAn attempt has been made to make this applicable via a control plan triggers and MRB-case, but the connection to the products does not succeed.Is there an alternative where this can be configured or is there a way to create this yourself in IFS?If anyone has any idea how I can set this up it would be great! Sincerely,Jey

Hi, I have a requirement from the customer where he wants to know if he has got the customer order on 10th of the next month and that order needs to be manufactured (with 70+ plus purchased and sub-assemblies in the BOM) first. Then do we have any functionality where system calculates all the things (like lead time, open supplies etc) and give the result whether they will be able to deliver on 10th or not. if not on 10th then on which date they will be able to deliver. Thanks

Is there a way to prevent serialized material from being un-issued on a shop order after it has been received as part of the final product? (using IFS 9)

Is there a way to print barcode labels for a shop order where the part has a serial number but does not have a configuration? We use shop orders for non-CTO parts but we are unable to print the barcode labels report. (we are using IFS 9) Suggestions?

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
