Hi,(I am using IFS APP10 UPD10.) Currently, I created 2 alterntes for one config parts.(there is NO  Config-Alternates-Rule)■Config Structure　1) *    2) ASSM■Routing　1) *    2) ASSM when I create a Shop Order,  I select “ASSM” alternate  for  both Strucute and Routing While, After I “create configuration”,  then the  alternate changed to “*” Is it a bug?or is there any background logic behide?

Is there any dependency with OPG & the Primavera database and do we need to have any additional infrastructure to accommodate the PROOPG solution?

Dear Sirs;Please advice me  where the calculation method is located at the menu? Regards;Yasuda

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!

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?

The costs for the DOP order is different from the   costs of the corresponding shop Order.  What parameters are creating this difference?  

Our customer is having a situation where a structure mismatch created in a higher level appears under the preliminary conformance log of a latter module.I believe this is an incorrect representation as the conformance log should provide structure mismatches within that level/module.

HelloWe are using shop orders, and are now looking into standard operations and routing operations. Everything works well and looks good.  The only thing not suitable for us, is the need of manually report operations / or manually close operations. At least for now we don’t need this. When we try to recieve inventory without reporting operations we get this Error Message, but I can’t seem to figure out how to find or how to use auto report functionality. Please help. :)   

I’m trying to enter in a default value for a parameter used in one of my lobby elements. The only issue is where do I enter it in? Trying to achieve exactly like below.

Hi everyone, Is there a way (in V8) to know the tool instance which has been used in operations of a shop order ?

I want to know our average time from need to released purchase order (and possibly more data points).The big challenge here is to know the first date a purchase requisition line was created. If nothing happens, the daily MRP will recreate it again next day.Is there any possibility to track when it first was generated?

Afternoon can anyone explain why the manufacturing time and expected lead time would be difference as below? i have read the HELP tabs description for both but still don't actually understand the difference. Can anyone help?regardsJamie 

When a shop order is moved to a new operation block, any rework or alternate materials applied to the shop order are not being maintained.   For example:  Shop orders on operation block B6510 were moved from operation block B6387 on 9/21.When the shop orders were on operation block B6387, item 100XXXA was change to an inclusion of 0 and item 100XXXB was added in its place.  Once the shop orders were moved to the new operation block, this change was no longer in place.  Due to severe raw material shortages we are working through right now, we need to ensure the reworks applied are being maintained. Any ideas on how to fix this is greatly appreciated.
