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

We are new in IFS and when we trying to report picking in shipment, we getting en error; “The value of the inventory transaction may not be 0 for part xxx on site xxx” When i look at the inventory part’s cost section for this material, the unit cost field is not empty or equal zero. Could you help me how can i fix this issue?

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.

When looking at Inventory Part Availability Planning screen for certain part numbers, the Forecast Demand from MS Level 1 is not pulling through. Other demand is, i.e customer and shop orders exist - but no Forecast is shown. Require some guidance on resolving the missing information

 Hi all,Attempting to create a shop order and getting the following error message. I have checked posting control and code parts but can’t see anything? I have also checked the API which is throwing up the error, but cannot see any similar error messages. Any ideas?Thanks,R​​​Error Message for Creating Shop Order 

Hello, We are running IFS Application 10 Update 8 and an upcoming change to our manufacturing environment is going to require two shop order operations to be started simultaneously.  For example lets say we have the following operations defined.10 - Charging15 - Pumping20 - Circulation When the operator starts operation 10 we’d like IFS to also start operation 15 as well.   We know we can have the operator manually start operation 10 and 15 manually but we are trying to eliminate a point of failure and automate this functionality. Regards,William Klotz

Hi All, Where do you add layered overhead cost buckets when you want to connect parts to part costs under IFS Aurena cloud solution? Best regards,Devni

Hi all,when we navigate to a shop order and search for a certain order >> RMB >> print pick list and pick the relevant print options (include unconnected material, list by shop order, list by location and include part summary and say ok and select the preview option, there is no data retrieved on the report. Only the first information page comes up an inbuilt report.In report designer, I can see that there is a repeat page with data. Could I know why data isn’t retrieved when it comes to printing the pick list in these instances?

Hi, one of our customers is having the above issue when the following test plan is followed. Is there any rectification from RnD for this?1. Go to Assembly and Disassembly product structure for an existing top position part (GE/00-00-00)2. Now the focus is to create a mismatch in the line item numbers in between Assembly Side and Disassembly side for the same part.3. Add a random inventory part with different line item numbers on each side. (E.g: Part LINEITEM5 with line item 100 in Disassembly side and 200 in Assembly side)4. Now add a new part (LINEITEM4) as a new structure position in serial structure template and enable auto transfer to manufacturing.5. Position parts will be added in the product structure with different line items in-between Assembly and Disassembly sides.6. Include these position parts in maintenance level structure of GE/00-00-00 (Maintenance level: LINEITEM)7. Now create an MRO flow, set the maintenance level in Dis

We have several parts in stock which have been entered under their manufacturer’s part number, however, are also built to a standard and are therefore form-fit-function alternates. I have set up the parts as Fully Interchangeable alternative parts in the Master Part (which has commuted across to the inventory part).The desired functionality is to be able to raise a Material Requisition for Part A, and then when going into Manually Reserve stock, stock is shown for both parts A and B (of which B is an alternate for A).Can this functionality be achieved?

Do we have any method to change the default scheduling direction of shop orders from backward scheduling to forward scheduling?

Hi i currently work for a build-to-order manufacturing company that releases manufacturing shop order early in order to keep under utilised work centres business and resources busy, but do not process the whole routing which results large numbers of shop order remaining open in WIP.This does not seem to me as the right course of action and it negatively effects our internal KPI for manufacturing shops order closed within plan routing time.Does having large numbers of shop orders unfinished in WIP have any negative effects on the system regarding MRP and scheduling?regardsJamie
