Inventory Part/ Default Location

Hi i am using App 10 and would like can you have more than one default location connected to one inventory part?currently we have one location connected to teh inventory part so when goods in recieves the part into stock it will automatically suggest the default location (which is our paint store), but when we want to move inventory from the paint store to a shop floor location in the ‘Move inventory part’ window it automatically suggests the default location GSPS46. I want the system to show the storemen the other location the part can be moved to rather than them having to manually input the desired location number 18044.Is this possible?regardsJamie

Lots of errors in BA reports after upgrading from Apps8 to Apps10 UPD8

Hi, once there is an upgrade of IFS applications, are there any instructions to upgrade BA reports that a customer should follow? (for an eg: Using BR report upgrade utility, report validation etc.) A customer has been upgraded from Apps8 to Apps10 UPD8 and having lots of errors in their reports. When the reports are validated, validation fails. But it does not show what the reason for validation fail. Do we need to do client debugging to identify the cause?

Capture hours worked on tooling creation

Hi IFS champions! We want to capture hours spent making tooling for our production process. We have explored using Work Orders, Shop Orders but both have their pitfalls as well as benefits.Ideally, need to capture time spent (real-time or retrospectively) against each Tooling item manufactured. Needs to be a simple process as these colleagues are not IT literate!We are not currently doing anything with tooling, apart from creating them in IFS and attaching them to the Shop Order for manufacturing.Any thoughts? n.b. we are on IFS2003 :(

Why is the Gantt removed as a tab from the Project Navigator screen in Apps10 as compared to Apps8? It is a separate screen now but few of the MRO customers stated that they preferred to view it in a tab. Could you please let me know why?

APB lead time of operation reflecting already reported time

Dear all, very simple question. I would like to reflect the already reported time on the operation in APB. It works when the Adjust functions are applied (prioritize already reaported, preserve the sequence of the already scheduled), otherwise APB is showing entire lead time of operations. I do not like to use any Adjust functions, sice bot are applied to all operations which is not requested. Is it any way how to do it?Note: IFS 7.5, version of APB 2.6.1.0. I tried to find any LCS solution/bug, maybe I missed the appropriate fix. Thanks for any advice. Best regards,Zdenek B.

Internal transfer happens when Unissuing SO materials to a different location

For a shop order with material completely issued, when the materials are unissued to a different location, UNISS transaction is created to the original issued location and not to the location to Unissued which is selected above. System does not directly transfer the materials to the selected un-issue location without having internal transfer transactions.1. What is the business value of these internal transactions?2. Here, two transactions are created even without the Shop Order reference. It looks like the material movement has been done within two locations which has not actually happened in the business. How to explain this behavior from business perspective?

schedule direction - backwards or forwards

morning can any help shed some light or even a guiding principles in what direction to set (backwards or forwards) when scheduling shop orders ?I understand how each schedule direction effects the start and end date but am unsure of when to use either direction.currently we use backwards scheduling for all shop order but we have an arrear of shop order going 4 months into the past.To me logic says forwards scheduling because you can not start a shop order in the past so why plan it in the past, but i could be wrong.Appreciate any help/ advice or opinion on this topicregardsJamie

Inventory Part - Predefined reserve/ issue locations

Hi I am using IFS Apps 10 and trying to pre-define were material is reserved and issued from. On the product structure i have set the ‘Reserve/ Issue Method’ to reserve and Backflush but this reserves material from any available location. Am i correct in thinking for it automatically reserve material from a predefined location I need to input the location in the ‘Reserve/ Issue from Location’ tab?If this is correct would I also need to define the ‘Default Location’ on the component inventory part as the same location so when the component material is received into stock it will automatically suggest locating the material into its default location? kind regardsJamie

Routing operation scheduled Out of Sequence

Hello I have recently noticed that our IFS Apps 10 is scheduling operation out of sequence, as below op 30 ‘Inspect and NDT to checklist’ has a planned op start date of 30/04/2021 which is 3 days before op 10 ‘Tack’ up is planned to start 05/05/2021. I have looked at the routing below for the part and can not see anything that jumps out as being out of the ordinary and the operations are in the correct sequence. both work centres are set up using Finite capacity, utilisation set at 100% and concurrent operations set to ‘Allowed -group start in sequence’ as below.does anyone know what could be causing the system to schedule out of sequence? regardsJamie

APB - set an order between shop orders

Hi, In APB, I would like to set that that Shop order B cannot start before shop order A. This for the simple reason that Shop Order A produces material needed in shop order B. It’s al fine with the need dates, but as soon as we start rescheduling, the system does not alert us if we schedule shop order B before A. Also, the system will do it himself if we let him schedule. Can this be avoided? Best regards

Operation starting in parallel - how to stop it?

Hi I am fairly new to IFS Apps 10 and would like to know how to stop operations from scheduling to start in parallel in the same work centre? Within this work centre we only have 2 shop floor employees and have tried to replicate this by setting the ‘resource quantity for calculation’ 2 and set the ‘capacity calculation bases’ to group.How do it get it to schedule so the same operation doesn't plan to start in parallel?regardsJamie
