Hi all,

does anybody have the practical expirience with UoM different than hours on the level of Work Center? How does it work together with UoM of the manufactured part? What is the impact on the lead time? Is there any documentation on this topic (not just describing that you can fill here different UoM than Hours which is the default)? Is there any typical industry where this setup can be applied?


Currently on IFS Cloud 22R2, but accepting any information independently on IFS version:), wondering what was the idea behind in RnD, looking for an acceleration and a decision (applicable vs useless) on this topic and not having so much time to study PLSQL source codes.


Thanks in advance.

With kind regards,

Zdenek

Hi @CDCZdeneB ,

The UOM other than hours are used for the work center with work center code Resource Requirement Planning (RRP) and not for the regular work center which are used in manufacturing routings.

RRP is a very high level capacity planning sort of rough cut capacity planning where you can roughly estimates whether you have enough capacity to meet the production plans which are deduced based on Master Scheduling & Sales & operational Planning. 

RRP means long-term planning without respect to details and the  goal of RRP is to balance resources that take a long time to change against existing demand (bottle necks)

For RRP, work centers are created such as storage space, personnel, transport capacity, supplier capacity etc. where you can use different UOM accordingly. RRP routings are created separately.

Hope this helps!!
