Hi all, first question for the community...What are your best practices for scheduling outside service operations?

In the middle of a routing we send a part to an outside vendor. We currently use machine run factor for example 40 hours to schedule the shop order to be outside for one week. Is there a way to schedule the start and end times for the operation based on the lead time loaded in Supplier For Purchase Part (for the OS part number)?

Additional question, if the confirmed delivery date of the outside service purchase order is later or earlier than the scheduled time, can the scheduled operation reflect that change?

Ty!

 

Hello Eric,

Have you found any solution for this problem? We are currently having the same situation where our lead times are not as exact as we would like to inside our shop orders. 

Can anyone shine a light on this topic?

Hello Eric,

 

Have you found any solution for this problem?

This question still bothers me to this day. I find it hard to believe that IFS would implement this functionality and simply expect that every shop order would need to be tracked and updated manually.  

Please IFS Team, is there any other ways to deal with the discrepancy between what we see in the POs and what we see in the SOs? 

And if not, is there anything being worked on to solve or improve this situation?

 

Best regards,

Pizzo
