Hi,My current placement has a library of images associated to parts. It was initially thought all images were to be .jpeg which would be easy enough to insert into a Crystal report using the “(BLOB)” field. However, it has now been decided that all part images will be .pdf file format. Is it possible to attached a .pdf file and view as per a .jpeg in a Crystal report?Regards,Ben

I am working with a client with a multi-site setup.  They would like to copy parts from their main manufacturing site to their distribution sites in an ad-hoc manner.   They would like to use the Copy Part function as a starting point.  When doing so, however, to the inventory part in the “To” site is set to revision 1.  Is there a way to transfer over the revision history from the “From” record to the “To” record automatically?  If not corrected manually, the intersite distribution falls apart due to the revision level mis-match. I appreciate any help you could provide.  

How to setup a regular export from one of my favorites? (Scheduled Tasks?) Take existing browse (customers’ orders, inventory parts in stock, shop orders, shop floor reporting, etc.)   E.g.

In IFS Apps 10 Update 11 Aurena, we have found the following issue on the Product Structure screen (Engineering > Structure > Product Structure > Product Structure) (Issue # 2)When we click on the magnifying glass to open the search tool and perform a search, a small yellow circle is shown next to the magnifying glass icon. This is intended to show the quantity of records found matching the specified search criteria, but it shows the wrong number. (e.g., in an environment we entered "500-Z" in the part field (i.e. we searched for structures for part numbers starting with 500-Z). This search returned 2 results (visible in the tail record selector) but the number next to the magnifying glass shows 1.

Is there a way to print a contract change order?

Hi All,We are facing issue related getting Machine Cost in Shop Orders. The work centers used in the Shop Orders does not contain any work center cost and it is zero. But, somehow shop order is estimated with a Machine Cost and Actual Cost also contain machine cost. We use WAC for parts.Does any one know how Shop Order gets some Machine Cost even though zero cost is defined in the Work Center ?Thanks

In MCPR flow an invoice needed to be credited in customer company and reinvoiced due to the invoice address and value needing to be amended. Subsequently, we cannot transfer to the general ledger after following the normal steps and no errors are on these transactions. Any Idea on this behavior?

Hi,Using “Visualize Selected Orders” works fine in shop orders planning. But using “Visualize Filtered Orders” never returns the visual planning, even if the source recors are the same. Please see attached video for further details.

Hi,Obstructive maintenance load is hereunder displayed entirely in “Machine Operations Scheduling” area, but not in column chart “Machine Load” when no manufacturing load is scheduled.An obstructive work task of 24 hours is scheduled hereunder Only 9 hours are displayed in machine load on 02/09/2021, and the remaining 15 hours are not on 01/09/2021From a business perspective, I won’t reschedule anything on 01/09/2021 on PR250 because the machine is in maintenance. The workload should be displayed in any circumstances then, whether manufacturing load is scheduled the same day. The problem was first reported in LCS case G2156460 (Machine obstructive time not correctly reflected in manufacturing visualizer) related to manufacturing visualizer in IFS Applications 10 IEE client.Detailed explanations received from Saman are reminded in attachment. I thought all problems described in the case would have been solved in IFS Cloud, but it seems not to be.@Saman K Could you explore this feedback

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? 

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

Please refer the test flow below ;• Created Project-Team AA with only one person BX• Project Access is on and XX is the Manger for project and subproject• To give a team read access to project documents team AA is added• BX opens the Project and has only access to subproject “A”, fine!• XX intention was to grant BX reading rights to the documents attached to this subproject.• But now... BX can give himself the write permissions.... or even Admin Access?!Any ideas on this behavior?

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.  

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

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.

Does anyone know of a good way to print/save drawings attached to a Structure within IFS? We need to print/save all the drawings at the different levels of the structure. Right now it is done one by one.  Thoughts? 

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? 

Hello, we have the following issueExport Control does not take effect from the project navigator.The setting to check export control in the project deliverables is missing in the basic export control data:Although the item is set to Export Controlled, it does not appear in the Find and Connect Export Licenses overview when a shipping item is created for it from the project:Shipping can be completed even though no license has been connected, as set in the main article: How can this be set up correctly?Thanks and BRSusanne

Hi, I am trying to find a way for splitting a repair shop order generated for a repair line but I am not able to do it. Also, it would be an alternative solution to manual peg a repair shop order to a CRO Repair line but i can't do it either. Could you help me, please? Any suggestion?Thanks in advance!

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

Hi all,Frequently we have to make a tool used for manufacturing a part.We create the tool in IFS and connect it to a routing.But how do we handle that the tool must be manufactured before we can release the shop order for the part?      

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
