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!

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

Hi All, I have shop orders requisitions that i need to convert into  purchase requisitions.I have no issues with the MRP parts, “right mouse button and transfer demand to purchase requisition.”But IFS won’t let me transfer any parts that are PMRP. The only option that i have found is to change the Part Type from Manufacturing to Purchase in the Inventory Part window.Is there a setting somewhere that permits the transfer of PMRP parts from a shop order requisition to a purchase requisition or a different way of doing this?Thank you. 

Hi,When we do Engineering Revision Transfer the Product Structure Status is default “Tentative”. Is there a way to set the DEFAULT status for manufactured parts (Structure Type = Manufacturing) to Buildable? Or at least a way to update the status for all new transferred manufactured parts?Best regards,Anita
