Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

Has anyone implemented work instructions within IFS and or attached fillable PDF forms attached to shop orders that when submitted attach to the shop order they originated from.  Trying to create work flow that assemblers, techs and engineers can verify the work being done is being documented within the shop order thereby eliminating the paperwork associated with creating build binders /  work travelers to a paperless e-traveler / build binder.

Hi,  We are using BizAPI SetSOOperationTimeStamp to receive status update from our MES system. The issue we experience is the files were received with a status as ‘Finished’ but sometimes the timestamp is not recorded to the operation.  Do you have any idea on this issue? Thanks in advance! 

Hi. Using apps 10 and wanted to know if there is a search i can run that will show me all the parts within a structure and there standard lot size (like multilevel availability planning) ?  regards Jamie   

Hi!We use a lot of time adding new parts and registering these on many sites. Does anyone have a good solution for copying these parts out to different sites? The data for each part are more or less exactly the same. Could for example IFS Replication be used even though it’s not separate databases or should could we use IFS data migration? 

Why the shop orders are not automatically scheduled considering the product structure? Even when pegged according to the product structure and run the APB, schedule is still not arranged as per the product structure.

Hello all, I have recently noticed an access issue that I cannot seem to resolve. Currently, our Logistics group is setup with Query access to the Inventory Locations screen in IFS. They are able to access and view locations, however, they cannot print a barcode label. When a user RMBs on a given location, the option does not appear in the menu. I have run debug and checked the Permission Set, but I do not see where this access is granted. I still want to prevent them from adding/editing locations, but I would like for them to be able to print barcode labels as need. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Community, I might send this question before, but I still have no answer. how I could print HU label (as well as content label) automatically before put-away. I really don’t see any function support this. I am in APP10 UPD 9. Thank you.

Recently Upgraded to APPS10 and we have a few part configuration statuses in Parked State. How can we change the cofiguration status once the Shop Order is Started? We can view the configuration but we can’t receive it into inventory, we get an error. How can we process the shop and receive the part?Thank you.

Hello All, I have encountered a significant problem that I have been unable to resolve. I need to delete multiple inventory locations, however, I am unable to as they are referenced as the Proposed Location on numerous Shop Orders. I have been looking through the help and online community, but I have not found a way to correct these en masse. The only workaround I have found is to go to each individual Shop Order and delete the value in the field. If the SO is closed, it must be re-opened and then deleted. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello! I am interested in knowing if it is possible to automatically join a shop floor team in IFS 10 EE when clocking in time and attendance?

Hello all, I have a need to delete several hundred Shop Order Requisitions in IFS Apps 10. All of them have Shop Orders that have already been created and closed. It appears that I do have the capability to delete the requisitions, however, I am concerned that there may be some issue with simply deleting them. I need to keep the Shop Orders themselves for history reference. Are there any potential issues with simply deleting a shop order requisition that has been converted to a Shop Order, which has been completed and closed?Thank you!

For a manufactured part,if we set the Reserve/Backflush option to Manual in the Product structure and run a shop order flow,it would allow a user to issue material less than the shop order lot size but would also allow to receive the full quantitiy after operations are reported.any specific reason for this?

Hi, User did unpeg DOP connection from Shop Order accidentally. We would want to return the DOP connection for the shop order but could not find a way to do that in IFS client.Could you instruct how to do this? Regards,Peshala.

We are running into an issue when we try and removed a Selected part on the MRB Inspection line (in Aurena). We cannot find any option to remove it. In the IEE client you simply remove that line from the lower part of the window. Are we just not looking in the right place? 

I have created a user with limited access to investigate a user-specific issue. As per my current user setup debug console does not show any traces of the selected item. Which permission sets should be enabled to gain the visibility of traces?  

We are trying to export into Excel a report that shows the multiple level of parts that are in the structures on the “Complete Where Used” screen, see example below: The levels can be complex as one part number can have several layer deep.  Is there a standard IFS report that can show this information or would a complex SQL report need to be written?  We are on IFS Apps 9, update 16.  Thanks,Mark

Hi, When starting APB, the system prompts the user to log in again, even if the user is allready logged in to the main client (IFS 10 IEE).Activating SSO doesn’t seem possible for APB. Is there any way this re-login can be avoided?  

Hi,Is there any technical reason why in Apps 10 Aurena, the Multilevel Promotion function does not work with product structures of type "Purchased". Thanks!Regards,Naveena

Whats the maximum number of documents that can be attached to a project?

Hi everybody! I have a problem with setting the expiration date of the inventory part in stock. In my work, we have some items the quality department need to change the expiration date label when they are near to the due date. for example, we have a tank the expire in two days but a person have to go to that tank and see one by one are going to expire to  begin a process of maintenance and put a new label with new due date. so, we want to put the expiration date of the tank on IFS and when the due date is near, we know which of them need to have a new label instead of going to search tank by tank by ourselves.

Hi all,There is a problem I’m struggling to find whether it’s a bug or due to some setting in the application.Scenario is below.When a shop order operation is started in SFW from Start Shop Order, and then without performing Stop Production, and performing Approve Operation for that shop order operation, the labor hours is not captured for that operation.When approving the operation, the Labor Time is ticked, and the Stop Clockings is also ticked, so as I understand, previously started clocking should be stopped automatically, and planned labor hours should be reported.But, I can see in the Operation statistics that, only the time from that start to stop (0.02) has been posted.If the approve operation is done after performing the stop production (after staring production), all the planned labor hours plus the time between start - stop production us captured. Any idea why it happens ? Is it a bug ? Or is it due to some setting.Below is the setting in the work center.I have checked the s

Hi Community,I came across the below mentioned question while conducting a functional investigation.According to the help note, a backwards scheduled Shop Order is scheduled to start on the Need Date minus the lead time to manufacture the order.Does anyone know how to calculate the exact lead time to manufacture the order? Help note,​​​Thank you in advance.

In Aurena, My Time Registration – Grid view, is it possible to select all the lines under “Job Hours” to do changes rather than do changes line by line.

In reviewing the Rules for Shop Order Backflush help doc, it shows the order of priority in the various methods, however one of the lines states: if the part’s manufacturing attributes allow backflush from All Locations, then all Picking locations are searched. The question is, in what order are picking locations searched? When I have multiple locations which have a part to be backflushed in the needed quantity how can I predict the location from which inventory will be consumed? The same question exists for floor stock.
