Hello all,

 

Is it possible (in IFS Cloud) to have the Planned Finish Date/Time updated automatically in the Shop Floor Workbench when only a part of the shop order is approved?

 

For example:

  • The operation qty is 10.000, they will be placed on pallets (approximately 4 pallets).
  • Planned Finish Date is 10-01-2025
  • When the first pallet needs to be replaced because it`s full, the amount on this pallet is approved in the Shop Floor Workbench (2500 pcs).
  • Apparently, the expected 4 pallets will not take 2 days per pallet, as scheduled, but since the 1st pallet is finished after 1 day, there is a great need to record this change in numbers, but also to gain insight into the accurate planning that adapts to the numbers still to be made. Not so much the recalculation of the items still to be made, but in any case the correction of 1 day on the items already made (and therefore booked), which would at least shorten the Planned Finish Date/Time by 1 day.

 

Obviously, we have the Remaining Machine Time which shows us the time left to finish an order, but it`s not updated (recalculated) in the Planned Finish Date/Time column.

 

Question: How can i get this to be adjusted/recalculated, so i have a more accurate Planned Finished Date/Time according to the already finished part of the order (so when the finished part is finished earlier than originally planned)?

 

Is it Workbench-related?

Planning-related?

Shop Order-related?

And is there a specific reason why this is not the standard?

 

I hope I explained my problem clearly. Of course it`s possible that i`m missing something, so i`m more than open for feedback 🙂 If you have any questions, please don`t hesitate to reach out to me.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help and effort.

 

Best regards,

If you want to see when the entire shop order would finish if you perform the remaining work from today, you can try to schedule the shop order using forward scheduling from current date. This can be done from shop floor workbench.

Thank you very much for your quick response and correct suggestion, Björn! It took a while before I could test it, hence my late response. But this helps me a lot and I can move forward with it, thank you!

Best regards,
