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 parts. The only workaround for this that I have

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!

We have a part in Inventory Parts in Stock.The part shows 4 on hand and 4 reserved.Unfortunately, there is nothing in Stock, when selecting Reservation Details,, nothing shows up.We need to remove this, or set to zeroI created a count report, but this part does not show up, so i can’t set to 0Any ideas in removing this, or changing the values to 0. 

I have a Control plans that are not active however there are items that are going into QA and requiring inspections. Is there anything else that can cause an item to go into QA upon being received? 

Hi all,Sometime we have to start an operation on a fixed date. The other operations then have to be rescheduled according to that date. In the example below.Operation 20 must start 27-05-2022 06:00:00.The following operations are then rescheduled, but the operation (10) before does not rescheduled . How do we make it do that? 

Afternoon,Using the Shop Floor Workbench in Aurena you can filter by barcode.Is there any specific settings that enables the barcode ID field to allow scanning input from a mobile device (camera) instead of having to manually input the barcode ID? Appreciated, Jamie 

Hi, we have a intersite set-up, where the production and the warehouse are located in different sites. All stock is in the warehouse in Site 2, the production is in Site 1. What is the easiest way to generate a pick list for our production in Site 1, to be picked in site 2 without losing the link? Because we want to pick in Site 2, put it all in a box and send it to site 1. Site 1(production) needs to be able to identify easily for which shop order the box is when it arrives. We are playing around with DO generated by MRP, but the problem is that we lose the connection with the shop order.

Dear Sirs;I use Interactive Scheduling Client on CBS APP10.Please take a look at the picture below.The date S2 and S3 is holiday. You can find 3 shop order plan across the holidays.I hope that those shop orders is schedlued complete before the holiday.Any idea to control those case??  eRegards;Yasuda

Dear Sirs;As CBS module activated, the following message is appeared,  CBS may detect some error when creating shop order. Routing master setup for the production parts may have something wrong.PLease help. Regards;Yasuda

Hi Community,we want to have part_no keys created automatically by the system.One company is already using several ranges for parts in IFS Apps 10 today.Now we need to develop a concept for Part_no ranges on a global level, which is usable for several sites. Challenges: Using a sequence could provide a part_no which is already in use should we put a prefix per company or simply one ascending number or a combination of both how can IFS Apps support this setup? Or do we need to develop something?How do other customers resolve this challenge?Thank you for any feedback / proposals / sharing your concept :-)Regards Martina

Hi, what is the smootest way to receive more in a defined lot/batch Qty on a shop order? In our current process, the output is variable and hard to predict. Whith the same amount of components, we sometimes produce more (or less).As the finished part is lot tracked, we create a Lot nr up with the expected qty. However, if we produce more, we nowincrease the lot size manually increase the Lot/Batch qty manually adjust the components ‘Qty per assembly’ so our stock is still ok receive the correct ammount I believe there must a more user friendly solution for this? Thanks!

Hello All, I’m attempting to grant access to a user to view the contents of Database Task Chains in IFS 10. I’ve granted access on the Permission Set, and the user can now create database chains, however, they are unable to view any chains they have created. The table is blank when they attempt to populate it. I am able to view the contents, but I have the IFSAPP full grants. I’m assuming there is another area the user needs access to, but I do not see anything in the help that indicates what needs grants. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Community,have this issue in Posting Proposals window, it could be the permission set issue.please see the picture attached, in Posting Proposals window, selection criteria No Arrival for some people, the window does not show anything, whereas some people does have the list. Thank you.

Hi, we are currently setting up a kanban circuit. When the shop order is created, can seperate part numbers be set at forward schedule and others at backward schedule, or is all or nothing.Thanks

During R&D phase Parts are created and manufactured as prototype. In this phase there is no need for tracing (like serial numbering).After approval by the customer, the part will need to be setup for production and some parts need to be set to serial tracked. This however is only possible when there is no inventory and no orders which is almost impossible to achieve because prototype orders are still running.So, the question is: How should IFS Cloud be configured during the part life cycle when it comes to the Master Part Traceability settings?

Using Apps8. Trying to figure out why the notes that are put on a Structure is on every Shop Orders Tracking and History, is there a way to stop them from appearing on the Shop Orders?

Hello Community, We are using IFS 8.Currently we are using the serialized tracking for the parts. I want to convert some of the serial parts to the Lot batch tracking parts.we have to make the Lot tracking process for one site for now.But the issue is If we change the tracking from Serial tracking to Lot tracked parts in master part for all the site that part will become Lot track enabled and while receiving the Purchase order on the other site user they have to provide the Lot batch no mandatorily as asterisk (*) will not allow them to receive.So can we change this asterisk(*) to N/A so that while receiving the PO user for other site user they do not need to type Lot batch no as N/A each time. Your inputs will be helpful.  

Hello IFS,  shop order Issuing component part cost and header part receiving cost should not be different when Qty per Assy is ‘1’ and also there is no BY-Product.But in my case component part issue by Inventory cost 107749.7560 and receive header manufactured part by inventory cost 49564.8878 Both component issue and Receive Qty is 460 nos. and also there is no By-Product or scrap factor or component factor.When it is possible and how this will resolve? 

Does anyone know what PART_COST_BUCKET_HISTORY_TAB is good for?I am considering clearing down part cost history with the ‘Keep History on Part Level’ ticked (so that bucket history is cleared) but I can’t find any reference to bucket history in the system.Can you view it anywhere?

I have a new user that does not have the option to create a credit invoice on the return material authorization. Permissions are matching for someone who has the option when they right click on the page. 

We have expense items that we are setting up to put on the Product Structure that will allow us to perform Where Used and determine what products are impacted by these parts.  We do not want to have these in inventory.  When I created a few test items and did a purchase order, then received it they are now in inventory.  Is there a different way to approach this?  We really want these on a structure to give us visibility, just don’t want them in inventory.   

In APPS 10 We are looking to simplify the login process for our manufacturing shop floor computers. Our plan is to have the clients launch from this link to bypass the IFS Landing pagehttps://ifsserver:49080/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application My question is, can you pass login credentials to the IFS IEE client so it auto logs on?  The only use for these workstations, will be Shop Floor Workbench

Looking for methods anyone has used to handle the following.Apps10 update8On a Shop Order I am manufacturing a serial-tracked, lot-tracked, multi-level tracked part through (4) operations 10, 20, 30, 40. Lot size = 5. Serial numbers 1-5 and Lot/Batch AAA have been reserved for this shop order.My Site is set to auto-build the tracked structures.All component material is issued, all of this material is serial and lot-tracked also. The Shop Order As-Built Structure is completed before I start production.At Operation 20 I want to scrap (1) part, and this part has been physically identified in the shop as Serial No. 1.After performing a Shop Order Scrap for a quantity of (1), I delete Serial No. 1 from the list of reserved serials, which alters the parent-child relations in the system-generated Shop Order As-Built structures for the remaining serial numbers. Note: I deleted Serial No. 1 from the list of reserved serials because during the Report Scrap process on the shop order, I cannot des
