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”.

Community,would like to know Proper Procedure to disassemble a serial part from an object.Belgium branch always reports below issue, see the screenshot attached.I could reproduce it in the system, we are in APP10 Upd 9. below are the steps:Serial part B is the component of parent part A. part A is produced. part B is issued, serial no B1. then, factory QC reject this parent part A. component B is going to be disassembled from parent part A. Parent part is made maintenance aware. object is O_A. a work order is created to object O_A, and component B, serial B1 is disassembled from object O_A and received into inventory. Part B serial B1 is issued to another shop order, when doing receiving, the error is prompted, missing as-built structureso I presume, this is not the correct procedure to disassemble a serial part from an object. Part B, serial B1 is still in the object O_A structure. Thank you.

Hiusing IFS Apps 10 and wanted to know if there was a best practice for issuing liquid raw materials to shop orders i.e. paints, glues and greasesWe have recently implemented the automated backflush and reserve function on IFS to reduce the requirement of stores to manually issue all material when the shop order was completed and sent to stores which was creating a bottleneck, due to the size of some of the routings material was being issues 2 weeks after actual consumption which also created a stock accuracy problem. The auto reserve and backflush method works great but does create an issue with stock discrepancy when we reserve and issue liquid raw material as each operator uses a slightly different amount to each other with is natural for this process (paint spraying)the system currently reserves the engineered required amount and auto issues the material when the operation is approve from the shop floor work bench but the operator might actual use a little more or a little less tha

Hi,I have an issue where the project -> demand-> misc.parts -> planned cost is calculated based on the company tax even though the project tax is already set to 0. 1. Company tax is set to 5.5% (address tab)2. Project window -> address tab -> the tax is set to 03. Project window -> demand -> misc.parts -> added a new line with a purchase part-> once saved the planned value is calculated with the company tax Tried the same thing in core but I was able to get the planned value without company tax.Any suggestions on windows/fields that I should check to identify possible setup differences ?

Hello, I have noticed some system behavior that is causing issues for us when users are reporting component scrap. On the Report Component Scrap screen in IFS, it appears that a user can simply type any value into the Scrap Reason field and save the record. This is problematic, as users are reporting scrap and typing in random numbers, which do not help identify the cause of the scrap. The LOV for Scrapping Causes is there and can be accessed. Is there a way to prevent free text entry into this field, similar to how the normal scrap action prevents this?Normal scrapping process will not allow this behavior:

Community, we have this weird issue, share with you, have you experienced before, any way to fix this? when doing shop order receipt, we come across the error message “ There are too few tracked components…...”, apparently, at our first thought, the as-built structure is not yet completed, so we go to window “Shop Order As-Built Structure” to rebuild the structure. But, line 10 is never showed up. line 10 is a serial controlled parts, Inventory Transaction History clearly showed it is issued to this shop order.The weird thing is when we open Part Serial window, to track this serial part history. please refer to the attached screen shot.below is the development of this part.this part ( serial no ends with MF470), as a component,  is issued to shop order 26686. parent part is 3110090 SO 26686 received into stock. serial no is SO_26686 this parent part is made maintenance aware , object id = 3110090-SO_26686  and being received into a WO 5842. this part is being issued to a new shop order
