Looking for methods anyone has used to handle the following:Apps10 update10Manufacturing a serial-tracked, lot-tracked, multi-level tracked part through (4) operations. Lot size = 5, manufacturing serials 1-5.Site is set to auto-build the tracked structures.All component material is issued, all of which is serial and lot-tracked also.At op #2, I want to scrap serial #1.After performing a scrap for a quantity of (1) (cannot designate the serial I am scrapping, i.e., not going to receive), I delete serial #1 from the list of reserved serials, which alters the relations in the as-built structures.What has been your experience in best practice for getting the as-builts correct after scrapping a serial part? Do not auto-build ahead of time? Wait until receipt to build them and alter them?

Hi All, Hopefully this is an easy fix for someone : I’ve created a metric on IFS using Element Designer which I want to show me the total value of stock in a specific location.  The issue I have is that it’s counting everything as single items (inventory value) instead of showing the full cost if there are multiple items (Total inventory value).  When creating the metric I couldn’t see any options to count from the Total Inventory Value column. Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this please ? Thankyou 

Does anyone know how to connect an RMA to a project when the RMA is not started from the Customer Order? There doesn’t appear to be an RMB at the header or the line level to connect to a project or do a pre-posting. 

We have some serial parts with an Ownership Type of Customer Owned. We want to change the Ownership Type to Company Owned. Following are the steps we used to change the Ownership Type. The system requires the Customer (aka. Owner) to be connected to a Supplier before allowing the Ownership to be changed. Is there an alternative way to change the Ownership Type without having to connect customers to suppliers and have purchase orders created?STEPSConnect the customers (aka. part owners) to suppliers Use Inventory Parts In Stock to get a list of the parts to be updated Right click on the part lines and select Ownership Transfer > Transfer Ownership to Company Enter a purchase price in the “Transfer Ownership Company” pop up window and click on the button OK The system automatically creates a purchase order for the amount of the purchase price entered

Our org is trying to enable SSO in App 9  - Our existing FND user string is user Initials and Employee ID - but the mapping for these areas is not supported in the AD attributes when mapping the fields in the Active Directory user integration Config screen. What’s the best way to enable SSO and retain the existing FNDUSER string?  All other attempts so far have created duplicate user / Person.  I have managed to get to a point of using another AD field that is supported to hold the FNDuser and map to it - but the user still can’t log in - aside from selecting “connect with your current windows credentials” in the IFS app login screen is there anything else that needs to be switched on? (Also not really the cleanest way to do it either)

Hi  Hoping for some inspiration here.I have a parent shop order with a need date of 01/10/2021( approx 1 day build) which contains multiple children of Both manufactured and purchased items.All manufactured parts set to Finite After Scheduling Through APB it is giving me planned finished in week 49 :(. This is despite all manufactured components having been scheduled to be completed by Week 39, Having ample capacity on the necessary work center and all PO’s been received.I’m also unable to drag it to an earlier date.This results is making no sense to me, is it possible that i’m missing some other constraint?Any light shed on the subject is welcome Ian 

Hello. What license does Employee A need to log in to IFS and use "Shop Floor Reporting"?・ Only "Shop Floor Reporting LTU"?・ "Shop Floor Reporting LTU" + "full user's license"Prerequisites・ Use of IFS Cloud 2021・ Employee A uses only "Shop Floor Reporting"

When I manually run Transfer Project Cost Accounting Transactions, I am able to set a start date, and end date, and a voucher date.However if I attempt to schedule that job, I don’t have those same three fields as parameters.  Instead I have parameters for “Execution Offset” and “Voucher Date Offset”.  Those two fields default to zero.  Can someone tell me how those two parameters work relative to start date, end date and voucher date?I would like some logic where I run the job nightly and transfer the last x months worth of transactions and post them to the most current date in the most current open fiscal period. Note - this is using Apps 10, UPD8. 

Hello. We are using the Ifs 9 maintenance module. In the fault response, we get this error when the object Id selection is forgotten while making the material. Unfortunately, we cannot intervene in the fault record. Is there a solution?

What causes the following error message? How do we prevent receiving it? We receive this message when there is only one person updating the record. Never when there is more than one user editing it at the same time.

Does any one know how to find a list of users assigned to a specific API?  I would like to see all the users who can create a new shop order( shop_ord_api.new_)

Hi All,is there anyone who has (practical) experience with the functionality "Copy Project Deliverables to Equipment" (with some additional descriptions, recommendations, notes, etc.)?Of course, I have read the description of the process in the IFS help (F1), but I have still a few questions about this standard functionality:Can I run copy of equipment several times (for identical item no), or it is just a one-way operation/process? E.g.: When deleting already created equipment structure (record) or when need to add a tag (additionaly)? Can I somehow copy the equipment structure gradually when the amout of item no (qty) is bigger than 1 or is it necessary to complete the production of all the pieces and only after that start copying? If the dialog window "Copy Deliverables Structure to Equipment" appears, there are two combo boxes present, in which case is the "Copy Structure as" combo box active?*Dialog window - Mentioned combo boxes.It also happens to me that I had an item (item_no)

Hello,Customers are experiencing performance degradation within the MRO Interim Order structure screen, specially with the Automatic Disassembly RMB option.Is there a solution available to improve the performance of this functionality?

In IFS Apps 10 Update 11 Aurena, we have found the following question/issue on the Product Structure screen (Engineering > Structure > Product Structure > Product Structure)When we minimize the record selector tile view by clicking the << button, there is no alternative method to select records (i.e. the dropdown menu which is usually shown across the top of the screen is missing).

Does anybody have any documentation regarding IFS ERP ? or Can you recommend an external source ?      Thanks 

Has anyone worked out a way to report on concurrent clockings. e.g. Employee AShop Order 123    Started:  07/04/2021  10:00  Finished:  07/04/2021  16:00Shop Order 124    Started   07/04/2021   10:00  Finished:  07/04/2021 16:00Shop Order 125    Started   07/04/2021    10:15  Finished:  07/04/2021  12:15 Report would currently show  (6 + 6 + 2) = 14 hoursWhereas, we would want it to show 6 hours as he has only taken  6 hours (10:00 - 16:00) Any ideas on how I could achieve this. Thanks

When Shop order is created through project Delivery, operation number is missing on the shop order material tab. User has to update the operation number manually on the Material tab after shop order creation. Is this the standard behavior of the IFS Application or is there a way that we can make the application fetch the relevant operation number?

I have encountered the below error while deploying a GET patch.Error: PLS-00201: identifier 'COMPONENT_TREF_SYS.INSTALLED' must be declared.As I was investigating the issue, I noticed that Component_Tref_SYS was not generated/deployed in the DEV database during the build and installation.The error comes from a method that belongs to Invoice_API but the patch I applied did not contain any code changes related to Invoice_API or INVOIC component. Therefore, I assumed that the Invoice_API got deployed as a dependency and compared module_dependency_tab of DEV with BNT as the next step and identified a few differences,TREF is not listed as a dependency for INVOIC module INVOIC is listed as a dynamic dependency for TREF module but in BNT it is listed as a static dependency. I’m not sure what caused these differences, but I noticed the same error in one of the previous  installation logs as well (only in DEV).As a workaround (since this issue occurred in an internal environment), the deploymen

On occasion we need to cut a “large” bag and fill “small” bags with the product that was in the “large” bags.  It is the same product, just different sku sizes, with different IFS Part numbers.We need to retain the original (large) mfg date and expire date of the product to the new (small) product.   We are on IFS version 9 update 17 using Production Schedule to manufacture our product.  Production Schedule eceipt uses “current date” as the mfg date & expire date is shelf life added to the receipt date.  Any suggestions on how to accomplish this in IFS?  Either within our current process or utilizing a different process?
