We are migrating one of our sites from Bravad to IFS and the following query has come up from the team working in Sales. 

We are migrating to IFS10 UPD26. 

 

When a customer asks us to come back to them with a price of a new product structure, we can in our current system easily copy a similar structure, do any necessary changes to it and get a quick overview of below details. 

We can copy an equivalent hose (i.e., we find a component or hose type that is part of a structure we can quickly copy).In the structure registration, we get a quick overview of:

• TG1
• TG2
• Setup cost
• Physical balance (no consideration of reserved balance)
• Latest date for cost price

We are now moving to IFS and need a way to get all this information out quickly. 
This is something that we are doing up to 10 times a day and would prefer not to create new parts and build new structures everytime we need to do this. 

Is this something that anyone else has come up with a good solution for? Preferably without doing any modifications to IFS.

Hi ​@Robin.Larsson ,

   IFS10 does not provide a direct “copy structure and simulate instantly without part creation” feature. The most common approach is to copy an existing structure to a temporary or quotation part and run cost calculation.

   This gives setup cost, material cost, and structure overview. For faster access, many customers combine this with Quick Reports or Lobby elements.

You should investigate using Estimate Bid Management and Product Estimate Management for this. In its simplest functionality, it works well for ‘Same-As-Except’ cost calculations.

The latest IFS documentation (25R2) for these can be accessed here.

I do not recall much, if any, functionality changing in Cloud from Apps10. If you need the Apps10 versions, you can find it in your system here:
