Hello, I have noticed an issue regarding the Estimating module that I do not understand. It appears that when bringing in an Existing Inventory Part and running a Calculate on the Estimate, the unit cost does not match the Part Cost in IFS. Sometimes it is off a few cents, others it can be more than $1. Below is a screen shot of a single Routing Op step part, in a single Site, with a basic Product Structure. Running Calculate on the Estimate shows a difference in the total cost:The Routing and Product Structures all match in the Estimate. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,After receiving materials, parts are automatically reserved in the project item navigator. We need to reserve materials on shop orders. This costs extra time and therfore i would like to change the auto reservations directly to the shop orders.Who can help me out?  

Hi, This problem is occurring in IFSAPP8.I would like to add a column to the details section of the Shop Order Availability screen to show the related operation number for each line. However, after I have added the ‘Operation No’ successfully via the Custom Objects>Fields>Create New process and generated the SHOP_MATERIAL_ALLOC_CFP package by Publishing the ShopMaterialAlloc Logical Unit. And selecting the option Custom Objects>Reload Configuration. When I then RMB on the details heading line of the screen and select Column Chooser, there is no ‘Operation No’ available. However, when I happened to look at the Shop Order Material Planning screen and tried RMB in the details heading line of this screen, the ‘Operation No’ was available to select!The selection of the Custom Objects>Fields>Overview option from both the Shop Order Availability screen and the Shop Order Material Planning screen shows that the Logical Unit is the same – which is ShopMaterialAlloc.Why is the Ope

I appear t have this error message, can anyone help me understand why this is being triggered. I have not seen this before.  

I keep reading about how user friendly Aurena is, does anyone else find the statement inaccurate?

Hi we are using apps 10 and have recently linked the material lines to the shop order operation on the product structure. The ‘Reserve/ issue method’ is set to Reserve and backflush’, since we have done this our planning department are now unable to automatically reserve material before releasing the shop order to manufacturing and the only way is to manually reserve each line item. the planner is promoted with the below warning message preventing them to auto reserve the material. does anyone know what it is causing this issue?regardsJamie 

Manufacturing visualizer is used to schedule shop order operations using drag and drop. Operations are typically rescheduled without compression, leaving subsequent operations and shop order finish dates the same. As soon as an operator reports any complete or scrapped quantities, the shop order is again backwards scheduled and the operation start and finish dates revert back. Is this preventable? Can IFS maintain the rescheduled/uncompressed finish date on the scheduled operation?IFSAPP10 Thanks,Eric

Hi guys,has anyone of you already detected if a split shop order split is processed that the “qty required” in the new shop order is wrong? It looks like it simply cumulates the values „Qty reserved“ and „Qty. required excl. Planned scrap“ in the Split Shop Order. I put some details in the attached document. Cheers,Jan 

Community, a question here. We don’t have MRO module, but we would like to register Part Certificate when doing procurement goods receiving. question here, is it possible to use IFS Part Certificate Registration with MRO? can it be used stand alone? Thank you.

We use IFS10, but i can only input 1 CSC at a time, is there a way i can input the same code multiple times? 

Is there a way to track who created a routing revision and what the old value was compared to the new value in the operations? 

Request your ideas and thoughts on how other clients and customers use the costing functionality when it comes to semi finished goods.Examples you bring in Product X to the inventory . Before the final product at intermediate levels the costing needs to be notified and calculated. Like your feedback and suggestions.Creating multiple shop orders would be one suggestion. Hence, having created multiple semi finished goods part records.

I’m attempting to build finished goods (master schedule level 1 parts) using an EOQ planning method (E or F). When running MS, it generates requisitions based on lot for lot logic, disregarding planning methods.I also attempted planning method G and set the order cover time out far enough to where many of these requisitions should be combined and there was no change. Am I missing something, does MS not consider planning methods?IFSApp10.    

Customers in the Tire Manufacturing industry seems to be using the manual Issue Option instead of the backflush from shop orders.The business need would depend per order and BOM would change, hence using backflush would be impossible. Like more input from Global Tire Manufacturing Companies on how its handled by them.  

I would like to know and have feedback about the chassis number. When mapping which would be the advice field to reflect the number and backtrack at any point. The part could be a cycle or an automobile. If the serial track number is assigned for another internal number what would be the number used for this purpose. I like some feedback from other large global customers.

We have manufacturing tools where Calibration is required, there is a number of days set in the Time Between Calibrations field, and in the instance the Last Calibration Date is filled in as required.  However, the Next Calibration Date does not populate.  There are some tools where that field operates correctly and is filled in, but not for all.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi all,I want to automatically set values for inventory parts (these parts are created via 3rd party software) and sent to IFS. I tried this with a custom event and custom procedure, however, it doesn’t seem to trigger once the parts are sent over to IFS. This should trigger based on if the part meets certain criteria such as:Type Code Site StatusAny thoughts on how to achieve this outside of a custom event which then calls custom procedures?Thanks,R

Hi Community ..We are using IFS 9.What is the difference between product structure and configuration strcuture. why configuration structure is been used.

Hello Community We are using IFS9After performing the detailed transfer and confirming it the structure is not coming in PRODUCT structure screen.  

 When creating new inventory parts, Phase In is defined by default to the day the Inventory Part is created. In many cases, this poses some problems, for example, when incorporating that new inventory part to a product structure which was started the day before (phase in “yesterday”), or when including the inventory part in shop orders where required date is in the past….  The fix is easy but tedious, updating the Phase in in the inventory part to sometime in the past.  Is there any way to set in IFS that al new inv Parts created are created with a pre-determined phase in? Thanks in advance,  Iker A  

Hello,With all the supply chain disruptions, we have a large backlog of customer orders.  This situation has our customer care team in need to understand how IFS goes through the logic of reserving customer orders. There seems to be circumstances were a specific order for a specific part is not reserving when it should because of the supply is now available.  I figure it has to do much with the “many” dates on a customer order line. Anyway, does anyone have a clear document or logical decision tree explaining how customer order reservations work in IFS.  We are on Apps9, update 16.  Thanks!!  

Does anyone have any success with this and if so, how did you do it? Thanks!

Hi,We have some cancelled shop orders with outstanding WIP value.In our opinion WIP value should be cleared when a shop order is cancelled.How do we have to deal with it?We are using IFS APPS10 UPD8. Thanks and best regards,Madeleine

Dear Experts, When I was creating the shop order, the below error message stated that Work Center 3 does not contain adequate resources. Could you please help on this matter?  

Hi, is there any way to use the standard functionality "Mass update shop order structure" when use Project Deliverables? I understand that Shop orders that are created from the PD structure cannot be updated, but why the system should prevent updation SO that are not connected?In my point of view it is a bug, but maybe you will convince me there is a way:Thank you in advance for any idea/solution.BR,David
