Hello.We have a trouble about the product status field in the inventory part screen.The revision 3 is the current one, but the product status is still set to “not in effect” and it should be “in effect” : The status is actually set to buildable : Any solution?Thanks

Hello,Is it possible to hide items on the Operation Guide assistant of Shop Floor Workbench? It is possible for th main Form using Page designer, but I didn’t find how to make the same modification in the Guide.  

Our assembly process requires in-house painted parts.  But historically our paint process has been outside of IFS.  Sometimes we paint a full product, sometimes we paint the front of a product, so we’d like to track the ‘painted’ surface area on each part that is painted.Where would be the recommended fields to keep this information stored within IFS?

Hi all,We are setting up a Kanban Reorder Point Request Schedule that runs at a defined interval.Sometimes, however, a shortage or internal shortage (e.g., stock not available at the correct supply location) can occur.This may only be discovered during production.Is there a standard way in IFS Cloud to: Alert users proactively when such a shortage situation arises or other error without checking every time the background job results? Perhaps a message when a  Kind regards,Willem

Hi all,I have a question regarding internal logistics during Shop Order execution.In some cases, WIP needs to be physically moved by logistics between two Work Centers between two operations on the same Shop Order. Is there a standard functionality in IFS Cloud to: Trigger internal logistics that WIP is ready to be moved? Generate a transport task is not possible because it is WIP, but another signal or other notification to inform warehouse/logistics staff that something needs to be transferred between operations? Kind regards,Willem

Hi all,When I release a DOP order, a Shop Order is automatically created. However, in some cases, this Shop Order immediately gets the status “Completely Reported” .I’ve noticed that in the originating DOP order, all material lines have a required quantity of 0.Also: Netting is not used in this case The required quantity for the manufactured part is set to 1 in the upper level of the structure Has anyone experienced this before or knows which setting or condition could cause this behavior?And more importantly, how can this be prevented?Kind regards,WillemLevel 1  required qty for the part wherefor i expect a shop order is created= 1: Level 2 all materials lines for the sub assembly for which a shop order is created in the status com

For Cloud 24R1+, I am looking for a comprehensive list of what functions/commands can be executed by Part Cost Group.For example, I can use PCG in the function Update Part Specific Overheads to control which parts to include in the function.In what other functions is Part Cost Group available as a selection?

Hello,When calculating a Part cost in Product costing, it calculates the cost for 1pce or standard batch size. Is it possible to calculate costs for different batch sizes. For example, if our manufactured product is using purchased components and we have a pricing added behind the supplier of the component for several different batch sizes, is it possible to calculate our manufacturing cost for 1pce, 5pcs and 10pcs, so that it take into account those price steps we have from our material supplier? 

In the Disposition Shop Order, when I RMB on the Disposition Line → Select Part Identified. I get the below error message.“The quantity reserved tor part XXX on site xx at location xxx should not be negative.” Could anyone assist me with this.

Created an inventory part, its product structure and routing. Also created a repair structure revision and repair routing revision of the same. Then completed a manufacturing shop order of that part. Then created a repair type shop order of the part > reserved it > issued it. On the “shop order multilevel repair structure” page, the repair shop order is visible but on expanding the sidebar it does not show any subitems.>>Any prerequisites missing for that? 

Can someone please explain how can I get data in to CAPA window connect objects dialog similar to Non Conformance Report  window > Connect objects dialog. Has this been facilitated in Object connections. Which I did not see.example: How I can connect a Customer Order as an Object in this dialog?  

Hello,When I transfer a configurable part to his site I have the message: transaction based in combination with inventory valuation method weighted average is not allowed for configured parts. How can I disable this message/setting that I only have on one site and not on others? thank u for your help. KR

When multi-level tracking is required on Lot/Batch enabled parts, there are scenarios where standard quantity of a component in the product structure is not truly required to complete the produced part, for example it would OK to issue 9.8 pounds of flour instead of 10.  Or perhaps the component quantities are not discrete, rather going out several decimal places in quantity required, for example a component UOM is pounds.  And as long as the actual amount issued is close to this it would be OK.  With Multi-level tracking turned on, none of these scenarios are possible, as the tracked structure requires all the required quantity to be reserved or issued, or the tracked structure is not complete.  Has anyone found work-arounds for this? I am thinking it might require a modfication to change the validations to allow some level of tolerance around quantity issued versus qty required.

Is there a way to change an Inventory Location from one Location Group to another one that has a different Location Type?For example, suppose there are two Location Groups: A which has a Location Type of Picking and Location Group B which has a Location Type of Floor Stock. If Inventory Location 01-01-01-001 has a Location Group of A, is there a way to change it so that it has Location Group B?We tried changing it manually, but we ran into the following error: As such, we’re curious if it is possible at all to change the Inventory Location Group for an Inventory Location if the Location Types are different.

Why would the duration be different on two clocking when the start and stop times are the same?  Note the screen shot below… the duration on 11/6 is 3.87 hours, but the duration on 11/10 is only 1.48 hours.  It appears that the system is doing something different on Mondays but it’s only impacting certain employees.  

Is there a way to backflush material in a Shop Order without getting the following error? Parent part is multilevel tracking enabled and serializedThe error doesn’t appear when the “Manual Reservation” is done. However, even in manual reservation the locations available are all locations and not only the backflushing locations even though they are defined on the component level.

This seems like a basic request but I cannot find any way to achieve this inside IFS (Apps10).If we have a part shortage, how can we generate a list of all top level parts (manufactured units) that this part could go into?With a lot of manual work/expanding of assemblies we can get there using the Complete Where Used and Component Where Used screens, but we have to expand all of the multiple level sub-assemblies in order to find all of the top level parts that are impacted.Surely there has to be a better, quicker way to identify just a simple list of top level units (final assembly) that would require a specific part?

Hi, We have a customer that needs to sequence manufacturing of multiple parts in for packing and installation. For example:  They need a total 30 x Part P1 and 7 x Part P2 For packing and installation they might to make the parts in the follow quantities. 5 x P1 2 x P2 10 x P1 1 x P2 3 x P1 2 x P2 5 x P1 2 x P2 7 x P1 The finished goods have multiple parts that are both purchased and subassemblies made other shop orders. They aren’t using DOP. The demands for the shop orders are generated by PMRP.The preference is not to split this into multiple shop orders for the sequencing (ie just one shop order for 30 x P1 and one shop order 7 x P2).Another option is that if we do split the final parts into multiple shop orders for sequencing, after the initial run of PMRP, the shop orders for underlying assem

Hello,I have a Shop Order that I can’t close due to an error in costs.I notice that I had a product that was issued first and it was set by mistake as ‘Zero cost only’, then we notice and change it to ‘Zero Cost Forbidden’.Then we make an unissue and issue again, but it has costs already.Do you have an idea how to solve this?

Hello IFS Community,  When we regenerate the calendars with the addition of new exceptions to already generated calendar, scheduling/Planning of all the DOP connected Shop Orders and PRs become inaccurate. The only option seems available to correct them to reply on the function “Propagate Date Upstream “. However, this is not practical when there many open DOP orders. I already created a ticket to IFS support, and they wanted me to create a community post . Kindly enhance this in a future release ?

Hi All, I’m trying to make a workflow that changes values on an new shop order. Currently shoporder has defaults of * for Release and Sequence numbers and I want to make those something else, for example, lets say X. I set up the workflow, with call in the projection actions:  and then set the workflow design in the same way as the IFS example:
