HelloIs there a method to change a part to configurable if it already has transaction history? 

Good afternoon all,The business has asked if I can add a function to allow the employees to view their remaining holiday entitlement (balance) for the year on the (shop floor) Time Clock screens. The balance option (above) which is available out of the box provides the balance as of today (Current Balance) which is correct however what I need it to show is the Available Balance at the end of the year as they may have booked holiday past today. Only by scrolling right through the dates to 31/12/2021 can I see a true reflection of what holiday days are remaining.TodayEnd of year

Hi, For Contorl Plan - Purcharse and Manufacture,the analysis can be  triggered automatially when parts arrived or shop order started. While for inventory , how to tigger an analysis automatially?eg, when the stock expiration date comes, my customer would like to trigger a inspection, if pass, then extend the expiration date.I notice there is a screen called “scheduled inventory contorl plans”, but I cannot added data into it.  

Hello all, Currently, we have all of our Sites set to Receipt SO in Background on the Manufacturing → General. According to the help, setting this flag can significantly increase the number of receipts possible when back flushing (we backflush all components on Product Structures) and automatic operation reporting (all Work Centers are set to auto receive on last operation step).I considering disabling this flag so that receipts are processed online. However, I am concerned that there may be an unintended consequence of shop order receipts failing due to the system being overwhelmed.  Is there any  way to determine if this would in fact be an issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Hi, For my customer’s case , there are 20 operations in one shop order.and some operations are qulity inspection.eg:OP-10 : Appreance InspectionOP-13:  Enginee Gas Emssion InspectionOP-17:  Trial RunOP-20:  Final Inspectionall inpsections above are independent,  keep its own data-points set and contorl plan. So, I actually need a data module that, one shop order link to multiple contorl plan.Is there any work around for this? Thanks,  

As most of you are probably experiencing, we are having severe issues with raw material availability. The way that we manage that in IFS is by creating additional recipe structure alternates.This causes us two problems.MRP does it’s calculations based upon the alternate marked * New shop orders are created using the alternate marked *Ideally, we would like to designate which alternate is the default, and MRP would use that for calculations and any new shop order would use that alternate for its recipe.For example, using the picture below, I want to go in and set Alternate 12 as the default. From then on all calculations (and shop orders) are based on Alternate 12 until I change it to a new default (maybe 15, maybe *).Is there a solution to do this?I don’t believe that we want to overwrite or change the * alternate, because that is our true recipe that we want to go back to.Any suggestions is greatly apprec

For an MRB-In process with a Disposition Code which has the ‘Scrapping Verification’ checkbox ticked case in a shop order, When we report scrap on the operation for the whole shop order lot size,the operation status remains at partially reported. Afterwards, the shop order(with auto close code) does not automatically close even when the operations are completely reported and parts are completely received. Is there a specific reason for this?

If I need 15 pallets to manufacture 10800 finish products, I have to enter Qty per assembly 0.00138888888888889 in the structure. When I create the Shop Order for lot size 10800, my Qty Required is calculated as 16, because 15.00001 is roundup as Cal Rounding is Zero. This results an addition one pallet calculated as Qty Required for each Shop Order which is wrong. Can this be avoided?

Hi Using apps 10 and trying to replicate a 7 day cure time on an manufactured inventory part routing.I was going to try and do this by using a ‘transportation time’ between op 60 and 70 so when MRP runs it schedules op 70 7 days after op 60.Will this approach work? and what is the unit of measure for transportation time? as the help bar suggest a 24 hour calendar.regards Jamie 

Does anyone have issues with launching IFS Help and not using Internet Explorer?  It seems that if a user has their default browser set to Firefox or Google Chrome, when launching the “Page Help” link from any IFS screen, all you see is this:   But if you use IE, the help information will appear.  Is this a bug?  Thanks!

Hello, I am looking help setting up a basic Acceptance Sampling trigger on a Control Plan. I have set the default C to a qty of 10 and defined it for one data line:I’ve defined the sampling trigger on the control plan:I thought the only item needed was to then connect the trigger to the line you specified with the Inspection Code, however I receive the following message when attempting to do so:I’ve reviewed the help, but there does not seem to be any information related to a basic setup of this function. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We are in the process of integrating with PLM and ingesting data inside the IFS , but we are facing the issue of Part Number column size, which is currently accommodating only 25 alpha numeric character where as we want to enter more than this size. Is there any other customer also facing the same situation?

Hello all, I am seeing an issue from Shop Floor Workbench related to Approve Op qty reporting. It appears that users are enabling the Report Previous Operations flag during the Approve Op process:From what I read in the help section, the box is enabled if the Qty to report is greater than the qty on the previous operation. This is very problematic as the default qty to report is automatically populated, which will enable the Report Previous Operations box. If the Site setting is disabled, the Qty to Report is blank, but turning this off results is By-Product calculations not being done.Is it possible to prevent the Report Previous Operations box from being enabled, or can the Default Quantity to Report be disabled at the Site, but still allow for By-Product calculations to occur at Approve Op?
