Community, we have this weird issue, share with you, have you experienced before, any way to fix this? when doing shop order receipt, we come across the error message “ There are too few tracked components…...”, apparently, at our first thought, the as-built structure is not yet completed, so we go to window “Shop Order As-Built Structure” to rebuild the structure. But, line 10 is never showed up. line 10 is a serial controlled parts, Inventory Transaction History clearly showed it is issued to this shop order.The weird thing is when we open Part Serial window, to track this serial part history. please refer to the attached screen shot.below is the development of this part.this part ( serial no ends with MF470), as a component,  is issued to shop order 26686. parent part is 3110090 SO 26686 received into stock. serial no is SO_26686 this parent part is made maintenance aware , object id = 3110090-SO_26686  and

Does anyone know if it is possible to update several Shop Orders at once? I would like to adjust several Shop Orders to their feasible start dates so that in I P A P my colleagues could also plan accordingly. Any suggestions?

Hi all, We have an issue with our backflush settings. Previously the Backflush Part setting is set to All Locations for all parts. However, there are only some parts where we actively want to backflush. We are seeing cases where users select to backflush during receipt of shop order and unintentionally we consume stock. I have tried to prevent this by changing the settings to ‘Only Specified Location’ for all parts. On reading of the help and initial test this was perfect. It will prevent backflush, unless you specify a location for backflush on the shop order material or purchase components. However, the change in this setting appears to prevent automatic reservation of parts. This a a problem as we want parts to be freely reserved and picked via a pick list (or manual issue in some cases).  Our ideal solution is for backflush to be off completely, unless we specify a location where backflush can take place. Is this possible?

Hi Community,When a part is deactivated from the inventory Including sales and purchasing part, system shouldn't allow transactions for the respective part, so can someone suggest the ideal way to deactivate a part from the inventory?

The overhead needs to be allocated based on the product net weight. When I setup the material overhead, it’s not getting added to the product cost.I have done the setup as follows:Cost element; Cost Bucket; Cost Template; Part specific OH;

Hi, what’s a good practice to ‘reserve’ production time in the future? For example: I want to produce some order on the 5th and 6th of January on a certain work center. I don’t know yet what I will produce, but I do want the workcenter to remain available, nothing can be planned there untill I’m ready to start filling that timeslot with shop orders. Any ideas?

Our Customer needs to know how to update the general overheads charged to shop order based on actual production before closing the shop order because currently it charges overheads based at shop order start based on the original lot size quantity. We need to know how to update the overheads charged based on the complete + scrapped qty without changing the original lost size.

I’m trying to set an a material OH that will be applied when an item is received from a SO (OOREC). Is there such a thing, and if so, how do I set that up? I have tried creating a cost element based on element source 110 (also one based on 500) and OH type Material OH. These have been added to a cost bucket, and a cost template, and the cost template added to a few different parts. So far, I have not yet been able to get these to roll up into the part cost. Any tips or ideas on what I could be missing? I am using IFS8 if that makes any difference.

How can I setup an Overhead to get absorbed to the completed qty. in shop order?The cost will be based on the net weight of the product. For example: Per kg overhead is Rs. 8 and if the product net weight is 5 kg then the overhead should be Rs. 40 (Rs. 8 * 5 kg).When I setup a General OH, it's getting absorbed to the Lot Size irrespective of the completed qty. in shop order.

Hi Community, If there are parts that utilized in many work centers (7 to 10)to reduce the setup work, is it possible to tie the control plan to the part, despite of the work center when the control plan is part only? Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone, Is there a possibility to run Shop Order WIP report for a selected date rather than running it for currentday status which is the default setting in the application? Thanks,

Hi, it seems APB (Advanced Planning Board)has quite a few limitations, particularly around handling work centers with multiple resources. For example, scheduling a workcenter with 8 resources, how do you get the system to divide up the work and time it will take (perhaps 1/8 the time as a single resource)? Workarounds that have been floated include manually splitting up order lines as they come in (not scaleable) and fudging the efficiency factor to say, 800% in this example, also not great. Any other ideas that people have tried? If APB is not capable, have others used any third party scheduling software? Any recommendations?Thanks

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advise and real live example of the usage of MRB VS Control Plan. We are in the process of developing a solution for our QA inspection in IFS and our consultant recommends MRB instead of Control Plan. I am hoping someone can help me understand when should MRB be used in place of Control Plan.   Thanks

How do I flip the flag to have the default Factor Unit to be Units per Hour vs Hours per unit.   This is in the Routing, Routing Templates and the Shop Order Operations.Thanks for your help.

Hi all, Could somebody tell me when (and how) a Serial Part receives the ‘Current Position’ = ‘Contained’?The Online documentation gives me this table: So the status ‘Contained’ tells me the Serial Part is part of another part. But when is this status assigned? Because if you use it in a shop order process, the status should be ‘issued’ - where is the difference exactly? Best RegardsRoel Timmermans

Hi! All,One of our CNC machine is scraped.  Related work center in IFS can not be used anymore. I want disable this work center. So that user can not use it in routing, Shop Order operation, etc..But I can not find how to disable/inactive it. There is no status field in WC. I try to change the Usage Code to planned. But it always say “Usage Code cannot be changed from Active to Planned”.How can I inactive it? I use IFS 8.Thanks in advance!BRBright

Pre requisite: Set “Qty Calc Rounding” for part as “0”.Assume the Number = 150.00000000000012 When an inventory part has the UoM as Weight (kg), Volume (l), or Length (m), the rounding of the “Qty Required” for Shop Orders work as follows;ROUND(150.00000000000012, 0+ 2) = 150 However, when the UoM is set as “EA” (Each), with a Base unit “pcs”, the function behaves as follows;TRUNC(150.00000000000012, 0) + POWER(10, 0 * -1) = 151 If the “Qty Calc Rounding” for part is “2”. The value for UoM EA is 151.01. It seems when the UoM is EA the quantity is always rounded up regardless of the number.

In project deliverable, when an item is connected to a serialized manufacturing invenroty part, we have the possibility to reserve the serial n° that need to be manufactured.So that when the Shop order is created from the deliverable item, the serial n° reservation done on the deliverable item is transferred to the SO.When we cancel the supply request from the deliverable item - i.e. the SO is cancelled -, the serial n° reservation is not available anymore.

Hello,  I am trying to delete a Site and keep having this error pop up. I am having difficulty tracking down where this data may be. I am currently running a script to find all instances of “10013” in the database to see if there is anything else I need to scrub. Could anyone lead me in the right direction for why I can’t delete the site? I try to delete the calendars first and that is when the error pops up.  Thank you,  Eli Williams

Is it possible to record ClickLearn sessions for IFS Advance Planning Board ?If yes, how to do that and what is the setup required? Some of the button clicks do not recognized as required. 

“Print handling unit content label” check boxes wish to be checked at once in shop order window under handling unit structure tab.I had to face to a scenario where there are 250 handling unit lines are involving in a shop order that needs to be printed.    Test stepsGo to a shop order window > Query for a shop order that is connected to a handling unit> handling unit structure tab Need to check all the check boxes under print handling unit label > I had to tick one by one for all the lines.Once, there are lot of lines, it is bit time consuming. So, is there an easy way to check all the checkboxes at once?

Community, Project Delivery, isn’t the Supply code in MPL tab filled automatically by inventory part acquisition code? if it is purchased, then system will update it as Purchase Order, if it is a manufactured part, system will update it as a Shop Order? or my understanding is not correct? it should be manually assigned? We found it is just empty. we have to manually update the supply code for those “Non-Std” planned item. we are in APP10 Upd 9. Thank you.
