Hello IFS community,I’m having an issue when I trigger an auto-email event where a custom attribute is referenced which (in this case) a Part Number called CF$_PART_NOThe field is a Persistent > Reference (Restricted) > Reference belowUpon creation of new object I would like to call upon the Part_No chosen in the email.I use the substitution field &NEW:CF$_PART_NOHowever in the generated email I get the db value AAAVZCAAMAAACXrAAHMy assumption is that there is an API that will convert that value from the db to it’s key, but when I try to do INVENTORY_PART_API.get_key_by_rowkey(&NEW:CF$_PART_NO) I get this error message in the Custom Event screen:Then the event doesn’t trigger unless this is resolved. I feel like this is the right method, but perhaps I’m missing a key ingredient? Thanks for whoever helps!IFS9 btw

Why is there no as-built structure after a Production Schedule Receipt? It is clearly stated in the documentation, but why? The assistant includes steps to edit the structure and move serials and batches between parents. What for, if not for the as-built structure?

I’m trying to understand what this field is for. No help details and can’t be populated manually. Below is screen shot from Apps10 but the issue was raised from a client in Apps 8 I wonder, is it linked to Order Gap on the Invent Part/Manf Tab Located on the following area 

There is a case - lets say I have one production slot, limited by area. Some products operations occupies only 1/3 part of it, other 1/2 and others occupie whole production slot. I want to use CRP to see overloads.How can I reflect that in IFS?I know that there's no perfect solution but what ideas I had was:1 - Reflect production slots parts as a Work Centers and in routings create one or two or three parallel operations occuping different Work Centers2 - Reflect production slots parts as a Work Centers Resources and in routings create one or two or three parallel operations occuping same Work Center, and then assign prefered resource on Shop Order Operations level.Both solutions would require complicated SO's operations reporting (Client uses Shop Floor Workbench).I'm laso aware about other impact. What I would like to have is best solution for that case. All advice will be appreciate.

Hi,we migrate our old jobs from an old UC4 installation into IFS. Most of them are simple databasejobs anyway, or to be precise, they call a batchfile which call a procedure in IFS. So that is a pretty easy and straightforward task so far, and we are happy it works in IFS10 that easy. Now I found a more complex problem. The user has a contextmenu entry, in our own tbwWindows, which starts a UC4 Job Queue asyncronously out of a PLSQL procedure. UC4 knows to queue the calls, so there was no need to think about concurrent jobs running, and the Jobs delete temporary tables while they run.My questions are When I use transaction_sys.deferred_call, can use use the task queue or do I have to make a simple task and create a procedure calling the procedures in batch?Is IFS smart enough, to not start the same job (queue) parallel? Concurrent access to the tables will be a problem for various reasons. If you have some documentation about it that I don´t have, it would be great if you could share i

in a custom menu that we have designed there is a weird ORA-20110 error coming which says “NO VERSION FOR xxxxx.xxxxx PART”. it only appears in polish version of ifs. Can someone suggest how to fix it ?

When I try to add any hidden column to visible column it wont show in the visible column in the column chooser(Project Transaction window). can anyone help?

Is anyone familiar with the Work Center Setup Matrix? Does this functionality interact with routings or operations on a shop order?  I setup a characteristic code and values, I was able to create the setup matrix, but I don’t know what this will actually do. Please help. 

A Shop Order is created for 10 pcs for top part A which needs 10 pcs of part B as a component.  Part A is set with component Lot Rule as one lot allowed.Currently the part B is in stock in two lot batches. a. Lot 1 – 6 pcs b. Lot 2 – 5 pcs Quantity required of Component Part B is 10 pcs, quantity available is 11 pcs but it cannot be used due to the component lot rules; no Single lot batch is available to fulfil the full qty of 10 pcs.  System will give the below error if tried to reserve manually.But MRP will not create any supply requisitions in this situation MRP consider only the quantity!  but what is on hand cannot be fulfil the requirement - Error! Suggestion:-Introduce MRP Action Message/s to notify similar situations by highlighting the non availability of single lot batch no. to fulfil demand. 

I have a user requesting that we make it so that there can’t be duplicate serial numbers in IFS where there are different part numbers. As far as I can tell, this seems to be a feature of IFS. Is my thinking on this correct? We have a few cases with duplicate serial numbers but different part numbers associated with each. 

Can anyone explain the changes in booking of shop order variances between 7.5 and 10?We recently upgraded from 7.5 to 10.Process:Close shop orderRoll CostsRe-open shop orderRe-close shop order In 7.5, the re-close of the shop order created exactly the same variances as the original close, so the net on material variance, labor variance and overhead variance and the diff accounts was zero.In 10, the reclose of the shop order is creating major changes in material, labor and overhead and offsetting it in the diff account. This is causing major issues for those trying to monitor these variances.  Can anyone explain what the system is doing? 

I have entered Manual Historical Demand Planning Data on a Part. The Part is also displayed in DP, but the Manual Historical Demand Planning Data not. I have already run the Complete DP Data Refresh job.Where is the error? Thanks for your help.

Does anyone know if there’s a mechanism to prevent sales group discounts from customer agreements on certain parts, other than reassigning a separate sales group for those parts? 

Hi, We are using the Kanban circuits system and have set trigger points appropriatly. Our problem is that the shop orders start and finish dates vary according to what time of day or week they are created. What we require is to fix the lead time to 3 days, two days in sheet metal and one day in paint. Sometimes the order starts and finishes in two days and others it 4 days, which then means the stock becomes very low.Is there an answer to this issue.thanks 

I am just getting into IFS and I am wondering if there is a way to make the default sort for users on specific pages/tables like Inventory Transaction History set to newest to oldest. Currently it shows the olded data at the top which isn’t really useful. If I could set it to default with the newest data at the top it would be ideal.  Thanks!

Why am I not seeing the capacity on the Manufacturing Visualizer using the Labor Operation Load in Standard Hours, it shows the team Available Capacity.  I believe it used to, not sure why I’m not seeing it.  The work center has daily capacity in the time frame I’m looking.  I have also tried it for another business that is machine drive and it doesn’t show for Machine Operation Load in Standard Hours.  I have capacity in all workcenters.  

Dear All, Any idea how to show rework operation on Shop Order. Thanks in advance.

I’m brand new to IFS, so please bare with me.  I have been tasked with trying to use IFS as our calibrations tracking software.     Although its not meant for this - I’ve been told to “make it work”.I’m looking at : Quality Management > Tool > Manufacturing ToolIn the “Tool Detail” section there is a field called “Work Center”.    This is NOT an available field on the search page.    My question is: is this field searchable somehow?    I need the “Tool Detail” section’s fields for individual gauge info that will not fit in the fields that are actually searchable by the search window. data like:Mfg, model, s/n, reference standard(yes/no), specific product its used on. Thanks for your assistance.Calibration Guy

Is there a comprehensive list of lobby elements with descriptions on what each displays to assist users with defining what they may want on a custom lobby? Specifically for Aurena Apps 10 ideally.This would be very useful for users.

Is there a way to have the Delivery Address on a Party be automatically updated if the Customer’s default Delivery Address changes? In the example below, the Customer’s Address Identity 3 was deleted but it was still referenced on the Party record. This caused an error when generating work orders for the Object because the Party Delivery Address wasn’t valid.  

Hi All, Is there a screen / table that shows whether the currently planned shop orders are late / early (Number of Days) to cover Customer Orders / Min Stock Level cover? I was sure I came across something but am struggling to re-find.
