I am in the process of translating a manufacturing process into IFS and am wondering if there’s a best approach to simplifying the solution. We have a manufacturing process where the manufactured part is both serialised and lot tracked, it starts processing in a lot size of 600, then drops to 200, 20 and eventually individual parts as it moves along the routing. As the part is serialised you have to select each serial individually when performing a shop order split, and as it’s a manually selected slider per-serial it could end up being time consuming. Does anyone have any alternate solutions to speeding up the lot splitting process? We are working Cloud 23R1.

Would it be an option to rather split the BOM into several levels. So you first have one shop order with lot size 600, then 3 shop orders with lot size 200 and then 30 shop orders with lot size 20 and finally 600 shop orders with lot size 1?

I don’t think the shop order split was originally designed for this purpose. Hence, the process of having to assign each serial to the new order.


@Björn Hultgren thank you for your response, what you suggested is another solution we will be considering.
