Difficulty to release a distribution order (Status: planned)

I’m a new on IFS and I’ve followed a 2 months training on IFS apps10. When I create a distr. order, I need to repeat the process many times or click on refresh many times to get it released. Is it possible to scan this process execution through a menu (background processing)? and how to do it?

manufactured Part set to 0 cost

I have a customer that would like to have the cost of a manufactured part set to 0 in the standard cost, even though it has components in the structure. It is a part that is usually generated as a by-product but they still would like it to be set as manufactured. it has the setting Only Zero Cost allowed on the Inventory part so the inventory value is always 0, but the standard cost that they use for pre-calculation is incorrectly set to the calculated value. Any tips and ides is welcome!

Does not use manufacturing cost template

Hi,I have a manufactured part for which I get this error message when creating a shop order.We are on apps 9. We use estimated material cost for all our manufactured parts. There’s an estimated material cost in the Inventory Part>Costs tab. The product structure is set to buildable, there’s only one structure, all components have costs.These are our Part Costs for this part. Any advice would be welcome. Cheers !

Order Type & Actions

HI All,I am after your knowledge on setting up Order Types.We currently use several different Order types depending on if we are making to stock or making to order.We need to create a new order type, which we have done, but the problem we are facing is that once production is reported and stock receipted in, it is automatically reserving against the customer order.To create this new order type we duplicated the one with the actions that we wanted and this one did not have the auto reserve occuring. We also checked and all the settings appear to be the same.Do you know how to alter the functions of the order type to remove the auto reserve that is occuring?TIAK

Once a DSO is approved again with a different disposition code, in the ASO - Material tab the same material line is created again.

Please refer the test below,1.Transact a DSO to Approve state where the part is serviceable i.e. part is reserved to the Assembly side.2. Go to the parent ASO of the DSO, Search for the material line.3. Unreserve the material line.4. Reserve the line using the RMB option Manual Reservation. The same serial captured during disposition should be reserved.5. Based on the above transaction '4', the Structure Line No is removed.6. The consequence of the same is such - One can reserve the DSO and once the DSO is approved again with a different disposition code, in the ASO - Material tab the same material line is created again. Hence there is duplication of the same material line. Any comments on this observation?

DDMRP - Only one Requisition created

Hi,We are testing DDMRP and think this planning model is useful for us in a Make To Stock scenario for automotive type customers.Automotive customers send us a delivery schedule for ~6 months of demand. When I try the DDMRP it creates only one requistion to fill up stock to the top of green level. I would like it to continue to create requistions for the complete 6 months horizon . The reason is that we plan the capacity load based on requisitions and that we want the demand from the top level part to show on the lower BOM-levels.(We would only “firm” the first requisition in a planning)Is there a parameter that I am missing, or is DDMRP designed for “short term planning”?Sorry for the swedish screen dump, but it shows that only one requistion is created. Then the stock goes negative 2021-07-13 without any new requistion created by the DDMRP.

How to add costs for non-consumed part is in part cost calculation (part cost)

At our production site we need to pack parts before the leave production. Therefore, I would like to add a non-consumed part to the structure which holds a cost of 15, - euro to add cost for packing. When I recalculate the structure in cost set 5 I do see the part with its cost in structure multilevel tab but no costs are added to the level sales cost. In which way can I add these costs?

Scheduling Constant Demand

Hi We are using Apps 10 and MRP to schedule our shop order operations. We have a contract that has a constant demand every month of 16 units, the product has a 15.5 day variable lead time to manufacture and we backward schedule.When MRP schedules our operations backwards from the customer order line want date (end of each month), is plans to start manufacturing in the second week of each month.is there a way we can get system to plan to build 4 unit per week every week to steady the flow of supply ? regards Jamie

Input UoM Groups and GTIN-14

Hi All, There is a requirement to create GTIN-14 for 3 package types DFP, TFP and PALL. For each SKU the pcs stored in each package type can be different.e.g.SKU 1 → DFP = 3 pcs, TFP = 39 pcs, and PALL = 1248 pcsSKU 2 → DFP = 5pcs, TFP = 96pcs, and PALL = 2592 pcs As a result there will be 100+ DFP, 1000+ TFP and 1000+ PALL variations for different SKUs.Creating an Input UoM Group for each SKU and using the the Input UoM Conv Factor to indicate the different combinations, and finally using that to generate GTIN-14 is an option. But this approach will take too long done manually. Is there a better way to do this - migration jobs etc. ?  Thanks!

Blow-through part as an alternate component

Hello, A purchased part we use in all of our manufacturing structures is experiencing supply constraints. However, we are able to replace it at 1:1 with a blend of two different components. I am exploring defining this blend as a blow-through sub-assembly.In a test environment, I was able to successfully create alternate structures and shop orders for the parent part with the blow-through sub assembly. I was unable to replace the component with the sub-assembly on shop orders where the parent part was using the default structure. The blow-through part is defined as an alternate part to the purchased component.I am trying to avoid creating alternate structures for each and every product that uses the component, as we anticipate the supply issue to be temporary. Is it possible to define the blow-through sub-assembly as an alternate to the original component? Thanks!

Scheduling - shop order gap

Hi i am using Apps 10 and have put a 1 day shop order gap on an inventory part so MRP would schedule only 1 shop order requisition each day. (below)As you can see from the image below it is still scheduling 4 different shop orders to start on the same day at the same time which is not possible for us to achieve.  When I go into the actual shop order i can see the Earliest start date on all for shop orders have a 1 day gap between them but all have the same finish date. We use backwards scheduling so I don't think MRP looks at the earliest start date? Why is there not a shop order start date gap of 1 day between the shop order ? and how do i achieve what i am trying to implement?regardsJamie

No update on subassembly part cost

when a new part is created and an existing subassembly is used my customer would like the cost not to be updated on the existing subassembly since this would effect the cost of the other parts using the same subassembly.Anyone that have ideas on how to solve this issue?Customer is currently running apps 8 but is in the progress of upgrading to apps 10. The same behavior of the system has been observed in both versions.

Register Arrival - Process detail /RECEIVE_SERIAL_INTO_ARRIVAL

Hi, Community,some suppliers they never post the label outside the package, hence, sometimes, we have to register arrival to Arrival location, then we open the package and scan the serials.  we are trying to utilizing the REGISTER_ARRIVALS → Detail TAB → RECEIVE_SERIALS_TO_ARRIVAL. We checked this box, and we wish system could bypass the serial no scanning even the part is a serial tracking part. but it doesn’t work, system still ask for serial no when we are doing register arrivals. how to better understand this RECEIVE_SERIALS_TO_ARRIVAL? how to utilize it?  need your expertise. Thank you.

Pick Shipping Pick List with Aurena

I am trying to report a shipping pick list as complete using the api’s in Aurena. When I report it as complete in aurena and look at the Network debug console I see that there are 3 steps it takes to report the pick as complete. I highlighted them in red in the picture below. The 1st and 2nd calls to api’s FndTempLobs and ClobData work fine but when I try to call PickSelected I get a status 500 Internal Server Error. Are these the correct api’s to use for this purpose or am I doing something wrong?The API Explorer in aurena shows a different api call but it shows no information for it. Is it because it is not available yet?  Thanks for you help with this.

Is there a way to make the sourcing for a configured part to be "Invent Order"?

We want to be able to default the supply code for a configurable part to “Invent Order”. The system won’t allow it. Does anyone have a work around or suggestions for how to accomplish this?

Projec Team Default Access

We would like to give Project Teams access to specific sub-projects as standard when we create any new project. If you click the ‘Access to New Projects’ box on the Project Teams form, for a specific team, this adds them to the Define Team Access page of the New Project Wizard. However, this gives them access to all sub-projects within the project. We would like that certain teams only have access to a few of the sub-projects within a project, without having to go into each sub-project and grant them access every time. We tried creating a template project with the correct access and always copying from that template, however the specific team access does not copy over. Any thoughts would be welcomed.
