Hi There, One of the user has mistakenly deleted the Cost bucket 110 in an important environment. When I am trying to add manually I am getting an error ‘’Ids in the range of 0-999 for cost elements and Cost Buckets are reserved for future use’’. Cost Bucket 110 is system defined one. Why does the system allows to delete the record and not allow to add back in the system?  Is there any way to add the Cost bucket 110 in the system?

Hi, My customer is manufacturing a Configured Partand also they buy this Configured Part from supplier (for OEM). while, for IFS (both APPS 10 and IFS Cloud)in IFS purchase order screen, it doesn’t allow to input a configured parts directly. Is there any workaround for it? Thank you.

Hello Community,We are s\using IFS 9. While reporting shop orders I am getting the below message.Require your support.  

Hi, For MRP calculation,could we put the related package In-Memory to enhance the performance?  

I have a number of jobs that will migrate with 3 Operations, one for Set-up, one for Run and one to Approve and close the job. IFS allows all of the steps to be performed as part of one operation. I would like to copy and paste the work guidelines from step 20 into step 10, etc. Can’t figure out how to do it. There must be an easy way, I just can’t find it.

How does the supersede option work in IFS? What is the function? How does it work, PO? Can somebody provide me scenarios for what and when to utilize it? Provide a screenshot; It will be great. 

I Would like to receive handling unit out of Shop floor workbench for shop order with 2 operation lines with back flushing material. By partly approving the last operation is would like to receive the handling unit.

Why is there no check box for auto report operations in het shop floor workbench? Please advise how I can make this work in the shop floor work bench.

Hi Guys, When we add a sticky note for a record in MRP Part information window, that same sticky note being appeared for a different record with same site information. This can be observed in both Apps 9 & Apps 10 core environments. So my question is, does this behavior a bug or a standard behavior of the application? 

Hi.Our engineering department would like to use outside operation within manufacturing routings which will all have there own individual work centres set to ‘outside work centre’ and have a connected supplier to reduce the number of levels within a structure.This seems to make sense as it can dramatically reduce the time and complexity of engineering required but our procurement department raised two issues Issue :1  limited forward visibility of future purchase requisitions and purchase orders, not visible until the shop order (with the outside operation) has been released, as when they are at planned this doesn't drive any demand.Question: is there a way procurement can have greater visibility of future purchases requisitions or orders?Issue 2: visibility of parts currently out being processed by an outside operation.Question: how do they see what parts are currently at an outside operation?Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated as I don't believe we are currently using th

Hi, We are running APPS10 UPD9.  Want to implement Kanban and have never used it before.Have been able to create circuits and do replenishments.  My question is, can you look at a forecast for 3 months out to help resize your Kanban?If so, what are the steps.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,Is there a function in IFS to notify the requesting department, usually production, that a shortage item needed to finish a shop order has arrived?

Pre-requisites• Serial tracked part with product structure and routing a) Create Shop order for Serial tracked part > RMB > tracking > Reserve Serial No. > release the SOb) Shop order> RMB> reports>  barcode labelsc) Observe the Inventory part Barcode analysis window for the corresponding part  & serial number combination- one record availabled) Navigate to shop floor workbench> select the SO created> Create reports>> Create barcode label reporte) Navigate to & Inventory part Barcode analysis window >  Query for the corresponding part  & serial number combination Why there are two barcodes are generated for the same serial part?

How do I add a configured part to a purchase order to a supplier who has a remote ware house with our stock that we need them to build a finished good with?

By defaut, the VMI quantity in stock is not available in MRP netting. Is it possible to change this availabity control? If not, what do you suggest?Great thank to all ideas or suggestions. 

Hello!When I execute the MRP, the VMI component quantity in stock is not visible. How to make the VMI quantity in stock accessible from the MRP flow? Using an alternate component in the VMI stock? I’m not sure. What else?Could someone help?

Hi, In my shop order, how can I prevent that an operation can be started before  the previous operation was reported? Using date is not enough, as they are to variable in this case. I want that operation N+1 can only be started if operation N has been reported. Thanks!

Hi everyone,We are attempting to “Copy Revision”  in Estimate Bid Management Screen and an error: “The part 116718 cannot be a part of itself” occurs.Path is: Engineering>Estimate Bid Management>EstimateDoes anyone know how we can fix this please?Please see screenshot.

Community, Though we are make to order, however we are not using DOP since initial implementation.when customer order is placed, sales part supply code is “Inventory Order”, so MRP will create supply, but the problem is, if we get a demand for 50 PCS machines, MRP probably will generate 500 shop orders to supply.what is the most efficient and most quickest way to track the parent shop orders. when kid shop order is completed, easy to track the next parent shop orders? Thank you.

HiWe are running IFS Applications 10 Update 12 on the Aurena client. After some testing it seems like the Shop Order Pick List doesn’t consider the Inventory Route Order when creating the Pick List…?Inventory Route Order is set in the Warehouse Navigator and is considered when creating a Count per Count Report or a Customer Order Pick List. It’s also used when doing Inventory Putaway. Have this been fixed/implemented in any later version? Otherwise I would suggest implementing this functionality on the Shop Order Pick List both for the regular Aurena page and for the WADACO processes! Thanks!/Sebastian

Hi, I’m looking for a method where we can easily see which lot nr was used in the first shop order of a chain of shop order. We are producing something in Shop order 1. It’s a batch of let’s say a specific plastic, with a very specific color: component A We use this part as a component in shop order 2. Then we use the final part of shop order 2 in shop order 3. then the part from 3 in 4, etc. A chain of shop orders, all originating from the component that we made in shop order 1.Now I would like to see in one view, which final products all originate from that component from shop order 1. Because that has a specific color, so if we would like to supply a customer with goods with exactly the same color, we can only use products wich originate from Component A (the color doesn’t change afterwards). The information is in IFS, however I would to like to see it when I for example make my reservations to supply a customer order. How could we solve this?

We are trying to use the Resource analysis to look at our workcenter capacities.  However, it seems like when new orders are entered, we have to run Refresh Resource Analysis Snapshot before you can see the new demand.  Is that correct?Also, If I RMB on a work center and schedule it to run, does it update ALL work centers and does it update for ALL users?I thought it would update as part of the MRP/CRP jobs, is that not correct?

Noticed a SO series in a customer environment with the following issue.Issue: "Handling Unit Structure" is not updating when we add handling units in the "Shop Order Handling Unit Structure" screen. Any idea what might be the reason for this?I tried to recreate the issue by creating a new SO using the same part, but the SO Handing Unit structure updated when I added/ removed handling units.

Is there a way that I can also create multiple revisions with the Purchase Raw part type, similar to a manufactured part?I can never create a valid revision here so that the transfer does not overwrite it.Thank you for your help.

Hello team IFS,  I need your help.What effect does the Utilization of Resource ID in Manufacturing Labor Class window have on the duration of the manufacturing time in the Advanced Planning Board for Shop OrdersCase 1:The Utilization of the Resources ID of the Labor Class = 100%.Available Capacity Labor Class = 100%. Case 2:The Utilization of the Resources ID of the Labor Class = 50%.Available Capacity is divided by two.After modifying the Utilization I recalculated Labor Capacity and reschedule the Shop Orders. We can see that the manufacturing time of the order is not affected in the Advanced Planning Board while the Available Capacity of the Labor Class has been reduced by two and the Utilization keeps the same value of 100%. Also, the Resource of the Labor Class starts a shop order and when the operation is finished it starts another shop order. Can we force it to stay on the same shop order ?  Can you clarify this for me or could you provide me with some documentation that could h
