Multi-Site Planning/Distribution Orders

We are desiring to setup multi site planning with 2 sites and use distribution orders to generate supply/demand between the sites. When I run MRP I am failing to generate any distribution orders. Does a guide/instruction manual exist outside of the online help to ensure we are setting everything up correctly?

Scheduling issue - overlapping operation start

Hi, using Apps 10 and i am having an issue with scheduling operations within a work centre.we have individual work centres and labour classes for each 4 operation within a routing and only 1 person in each of the labour classes.the schedule capacity on each of the work centres and labour classes (and individuals within the labour classes) are set to finite in order for MRP to see the constraint when scheduling.How even MRP is run it schedules operations to start before the previous operation has finished which is physically impossible. (see below)​​​​​   On the inventory part there is also a 1 day order gap to try and stager the shop orders being released.why is MRP ignoring the constraints of the work centres and labour classes or am i doing something wrong?regardsJamie

Part Transfer Template not possible to save with Fi language

Log into IFS EE using Fi (Finnish, Suomi) language.Navigate to Suunnittelu/Tarjousarvion hallinta/Siirrä Arviotuotteet windowQuery any estimateTry to add a value (using LOV) for the column ‘Nimikkeen siirtomalli’ on the line and  saveYou will observe an error message: “Nimiketyyppiä Ostonimike ei voi käyttää nimiketyypin Osto mallina”.This will only occur when logging in from Fi language.As per the logic it has to be the same because when we check it manually in the tables on English it is correct.Furthermore, I have compared the method with our core env It is same.part_tpe_ := Estimate_Component_API.Get_Part_Type(newrec_.estimate_id, newrec_.estimate_revision_no, newrec_.node_id);type_code_ :=  Part_Transfer_Template_API.Get_Type_Code(newrec_.part_template_id); Investigated that all the values were not coming from the DB to mentioned logic, they were attached from the client end.Appreciate any ideas to overcome this scenario.

Why multiple contract line items cannot be connected to the same project activity

In connecting a sales contract to a project, Add Project Activities to Contract Line Item functionality, one prerequisite is that Only activities that have not already been connected to a line item within that contract can be addedIs there a specific reason for this? Can’t it be done the same way that more than one activities can be connected to an item by giving each a weight? TIA

Project Deliverables (BUG?) - Missing reservations after Supply Option changess

Hi IFS Community,I have probably found a bug while testing Project Deliverables options, that I would rated as a significant (or critical). Please, find a description of the procedure, that I have done:1) Reservation of components through the Shop Order Plan, from Project Inventory (stock).2) Change the Supply Option of Purchase component to Supply Option = null (permitted option/value).Result of this procedure: Information about reservation in the Project Deliverables object will completely disappear, e.g. Reserved Quantity = null; in the Material tab --> Material Plans --> RMB/Reserved Materials... (no rows displayed). BUT, the "unreserve" procedure is not called, so if you check object Inventory Part in Stock, so the rows of components are still reserved and On Hand Qty = Reserved Qty (in case of 1pcs).Unfortunately, I have not found any workaround to un-reserve these lines from this object, let me know if you can do it.

The ‘Resource ID’ column in ‘Project Employee Allocation’ cannot be updated after saving a record

Business Scenario: If an employee is allocated to the project resources with an incorrect resource ID, the user is required to delete the entire line and add a new line with the correct resource ID for the same employee. Previous application versions have LOV functionality enabled to select the correct ‘Resource ID’, but this functionality is disabled in IFS APP10.Refer below example; Navigate to ‘Employee Allocation’ in Project Navigator. Add an employee (who is connected to multiple Resource IDs) under employee allocation.After saving this record, the LOV function to change the ‘Resource ID’ is disabled.  This functionality is available in previous versions of IFS Applications. Are there any possibilities to enable this LOV functionality or is there any specific reason to remove this functionality in IFS APP10?

Split Cost

Can someone explain to me how the cost of a part gets divided if we chose ‘Split Cost’? I am trying to receive into inventory a part that was found during counting.   Help says ‘The total cost will be split up into cost detail lines in accordance with the settings in IFS/Costing.’  - if you can explain with breakdown of the cost, that’ll help

Inventory - Define Cost structure

Hello,When an end user uses the Count per Inventory Part screen to count in an inventory part for the 1st time, the define cost structure screen pops up upon saving of the record.You are then required to select the cost bucket (e.g. average purchase price) and cost/unit value. Once you click OK, where does the cost/unit value get written to within IFS?We want to make this field visible to users on the count result per inventory part screen via a custom field to aid the users. I have turned on debug during this process, and it appears to write to temporary_part_cost_detail_tab table. However we are not sure if there a task which needs to be run to move it to the final screen or what is the correct process?Please can you provide guidanceNote: We are using IFS Apps 8.RegardsShaun

Shop Order Scrap of Serial Part and As-Built Structures

Looking for methods anyone has used to handle the following:Apps10 update10Manufacturing a serial-tracked, lot-tracked, multi-level tracked part through (4) operations. Lot size = 5, manufacturing serials 1-5.Site is set to auto-build the tracked structures.All component material is issued, all of which is serial and lot-tracked also.At op #2, I want to scrap serial #1.After performing a scrap for a quantity of (1) (cannot designate the serial I am scrapping, i.e., not going to receive), I delete serial #1 from the list of reserved serials, which alters the relations in the as-built structures.What has been your experience in best practice for getting the as-builts correct after scrapping a serial part? Do not auto-build ahead of time? Wait until receipt to build them and alter them?

Dashboard query

Hi All, Hopefully this is an easy fix for someone : I’ve created a metric on IFS using Element Designer which I want to show me the total value of stock in a specific location.  The issue I have is that it’s counting everything as single items (inventory value) instead of showing the full cost if there are multiple items (Total inventory value).  When creating the metric I couldn’t see any options to count from the Total Inventory Value column. Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this please ? Thankyou

Change part serial ownership type

We have some serial parts with an Ownership Type of Customer Owned. We want to change the Ownership Type to Company Owned. Following are the steps we used to change the Ownership Type. The system requires the Customer (aka. Owner) to be connected to a Supplier before allowing the Ownership to be changed. Is there an alternative way to change the Ownership Type without having to connect customers to suppliers and have purchase orders created?STEPSConnect the customers (aka. part owners) to suppliers Use Inventory Parts In Stock to get a list of the parts to be updated Right click on the part lines and select Ownership Transfer > Transfer Ownership to Company Enter a purchase price in the “Transfer Ownership Company” pop up window and click on the button OK The system automatically creates a purchase order for the amount of the purchase price entered

Apps 9 Single Sign On Troubleshooting

Our org is trying to enable SSO in App 9  - Our existing FND user string is user Initials and Employee ID - but the mapping for these areas is not supported in the AD attributes when mapping the fields in the Active Directory user integration Config screen. What’s the best way to enable SSO and retain the existing FNDUSER string?  All other attempts so far have created duplicate user / Person.  I have managed to get to a point of using another AD field that is supported to hold the FNDuser and map to it - but the user still can’t log in - aside from selecting “connect with your current windows credentials” in the IFS app login screen is there anything else that needs to be switched on? (Also not really the cleanest way to do it either)
