Merging Quantiles with MRP

Hi all,We have supply for given parts which MRP has not merged into a single requisition. Despite the requirement being within a similar if not identical date. These parts also have an Order Cover Time of 30 days (& Planning Method set to G). We are currently using pMRP. Is the use of this, specifically separate Project ID’s, forcing the netting process to supply lot-for-lot?For instance, we’ve got 3 finished goods to be made. Each loaded in a separate project. The gross requirements are the same. The independent demand (when Due) is the same. Yet the supply, in the form of various shop and purchase reqs are not merged. Why?Any thoughts?

Generate Calendar changed dates in Customer Order Line

Hello!We use APPS9. We installed an update for HR some days ago. After some calendar were in the status “ChangesPending”. At night, I started with the RMT functionality “Generate Calendar” a background job. They ended successfully. After this action the dates “Planned Delivery Date” and “Planned Ship Date” in the mask “customer order” were changed automatically for the order lines which were in the status  “Reserved, Released and Partially Delivered” - but the calculation is not correct, it calculated like this: The Date on which I generated the calendar plus the reprocurement time of the part, e.g.14 days to produce the part: In the mask “Order Line History” is the follwing entry: “Planned delivery date was changed from 2021-03-31 to 2021-04-20”. The previous planned delivery date has been communicated to the customer, it can’t be shipped some weeks later. It also can’t be produced later.Does anyone know if this is a bug? Is there a possibility to reverse the automatically changed dat

Supporting and Migrating Multiple Product Structures

Hello Community,We are migrating engineering part information into an existing implementation and have a need to create separate engineering part structures and hierarchies that utilize the same components.  For instance, Parts A and B may both utilize Part C as a child component, but the Part B hierarchy would have further children parts that Part A would not have.  What we do not want is when looking at the structure and hierarchy for Part A, to see the child components related to Part B.  Further, we do not want modifications made to a parent/child to affect the structure of another part. Is this supported in Apps10, and if so, is there a recommended practice to implement this?  Looking at the engineering part structure data, it seems like this may be possible by delineating a structure ID, but I can’t find how to set that on the front end or through the migration documentation.

Apps9 Manufacturing Tool Calibration

Hello,We are just starting to use manufacturing tools and I’ve managed to get our inspection gauges (job specific) into here too. I have seen that you can state when last calibrated and the interval time and this calculates when it next requires calibration. However I can not see any standard functionality in Apps9 to see who calibrates and how to see when calibrations are required apart from going into each record. Am I missing something or will I need to do some customization with reports and custom fields for supplier of calibration? Or is it simpler to link to a serial object and use the service and maintenance module to do this?Thanks for any input here, much appreciated.

Customer Owned Material

Has anyone been able to come up with a solution in the core system to switch ownership of material from Company Owned to Customer Owned and back again? At the moment we’re looking at a potential modification or perhaps a complex custom event that will generate and receipt the PO for us, just reaching out in case there’s something we’re missing here as an option. This is for lot batch tracked materials in inventory to be used in shop orders.

Start Downtime/Stop Downtime in Shop Floor Workbench

Hi,What is the user case behind the Start Downtime and Stop Downtime functionality in Shop Floor Workbench?If I Start Downtime on an ongoing operation, why only the machine time clocking stop and labor keep on clocking? Why not Stop Production?  Is it wrong practice to use Start Downtime on an ongoing operation, instead of Interrupt the operation?Cheers

Cannot close a old Project

We are trying to close out a project but we get the message that there is some work that remains to be completed.  When we go to the Unfinished Activity Work window the message reads,‘There is at least one Project Transaction which has not been completely invoiced or where Multi-Company Reporting Revenue voucher has not been created.’How do we resolve this issue?  The project has transactions from back in like 2006, 2007, 2008 so invoicing is not an option.  We just want to close this project.

How to notify forklift driver about transport

Hi everybody!We are having trouble with finding a solution for internal transports within production. We want to notify the dedicated forklift driver when a WIP is ready to be transported from a work center to another within IFS. We were not able to solve the issue with ‘transport task’ because it’s a WIP.  The forklift is equipped with a IFS computer so we also considered using ’quick report’ to form a list that shows all work centers and their current status, but this solution also has its problems.Does anyone have a suggestion to this problem? All help is appreciated!Charles

How to link customers order with future output of shop orders

Hi, How can we see in the easiest way if we can manage customer order lines with a steady output of a shop order? Let’s say we have a big shop order over several months of 200.000 pieces, producing 100 pieces /day. We have several costumer order lines, each week wanting 400 pieces for example.As we produce 100 pieces a day, it should not be a problem to deliver these costumer order lines. However, in the Inventory Part Availabilty overview screen, we only see the projected stock at the end date of the shop order. So all the costumer lines go in negative projected inventory untill we actually do the reporting, so it doesn’t tell ‘if everything goes according to plan, these customer order lines will be ok in the future’ How can we see that with the current planning, we will be able to deliver (or not)?

Outside Operation Cost in Part Cost

Greetings to all! :) To include the Cost from the OutsideOperationItem (purchased part) used for Outside Operation we must manually enter a value in the column "unit cost" in the  view Outside Operation Cost.   When it is not entered in the view Outside Operation Cost - it is not included in the Part Cost Calculation for the Main Part where the Outside Operation ITEM is included in the routing.   We have the cost for this Outside Operation item in the Purchase Part (Supplier for Purchase Part),    Why do we have to enter the value again in outside operation cost? Can this be automized?Event?Or is some basic data/connection in the costing missing?     Thank you in advance, /F

Expiring products based on forecast

Is there a way to get a list of products that will expire before they are used or sold based on the current forecasted demand? We produce fresh food products and juices, both the ingredients and finished goods have relatively short shelf life. We would like to be able to see what items we are long on so that we can take actions to either sell or donate them instead of purging the products. We are on Apps 10 update 5

Customization of the display of the change request (attachments) in context pane

In apps8, is there a way to customize the display (like column chooser) of change request from the attachments in the context pane.My need is to add the CO status after the CR status because the last status of the CR is “processed” but that does not mean that the CO is completed. And similarly, can we add the checkbox “action completed” in the change action from the attachments in the context pane in order to allow the user to complete his action without right-clicking on the action line and navigate to the change order actions. Thanks for your helpCarole

Unable to see all the columns in Misc parts & Cursor is too small

When Navigating Project Navigator > one of the activity > demand tab > misc partsI am unable to see all the available columns of it.Even though all the visible columns are on the list unable to see all of them together. it’s having morecursor is at the end of it but it’s having more columns. Also, the cursor is harder to differentiate from the main cursor, it has to be the same as the parent cursor but it’s not.  All of them fall under customization. parent form does not have any issues but the child form does.While searching through noticed the below type of behavior on the client end. these columns do not have any pre-coded values or methods on them, they were hidden from the scratchAppreciate any suggestions to overcome these two issues in this window.
