Hi,

 

I came across some questions in the Visual Shop Orders Planning screen in IFS Cloud. Appreciate your inputs to resolve those.

 

Version 

 

  1. Question

Why the time line is showing only a few days in the week ? Can’t scroll back and forth to see other available days.?

There are only 3 operations under this WC Resource. Why this 4th line is showing when there are no operations in that.

 

Settings of the window/Gantt

 

 

 

  1. Is it normal that the users have to refresh the screen after doing some changes in the Gantt, to properly reflect them ?
    (e.g., after a drag and drop the same operation is still showing at the previous time slot, only after a refresh it is removed from there)

 

  1. Is it possible to see Operations from “Interim Orders” (Interim Order Headers) in this planning screen ? 

 

  1. Any possibility to trigger MRP or Selective MRP from this planning screen?

​@Tharindu Illangasinghe It’s rather the Start Date and Finish Date which controls the time scale as those reflects the dates when the operations are scheduled.

If you want to search for a specific time range, I recommend using the Visual Capacity Requirements Planning page instead.

I’ll try to answer this:

  1. There are different visual planning pages. And what is shown in the charts is dependent on the underlying data that you search for. In this case you are using Visual Shop Orders Planning page that is based on shop orders. Hence, the Gantt will show the dates related for that shop order (I think minus/plus some day)
  2.  Sounds like a bug
  3. Depends on where the interim orders originates from. if they originate from a capability check this is possible. but it also requires that the site has been set to schedule interim order operations (Site/Manufacturing)
  4. No

Hi ​@Björn Hultgren,

 

Thank you for the provided answers.

 

Regarding the first point, I have loaded Shop Orders even with Earliest Start Date on 9/5/25, 12:00 AM. 

So the Gantt timescale should at least start from Today/Tomorrow, isn't it ? (Planning for a past date is not really needed). Then the planner has the capability to create a schedule starting from the earliest possible date (Today or Tomorrow).

 

A sample SO
Timescale starting on 16th
