 WIP Tracking and Labeling Across Operations in IFSWe have a manufacturing process consisting of multiple operations: Milling, Drilling, and Welding.The material transformation flow is as follows:Raw Material: Steel After Milling → Milled Steel (WIP) After Drilling → Milled & Drilled Steel (WIP) After Welding → Finished ProductWe would like to understand how to effectively trace and manage Work-in-Progress (WIP) at each stage of this process within IFS.Specifically, we are looking for guidance on:How to track WIP quantities and status after each operation (Milling, Drilling, Welding) Whether it is possible to physically identify and differentiate WIP items at each stage How to print barcode labels or stickers for WIP items after each operation How to associate WIP items with locations or work centers to reflect their physical position on the shop floor Recommended best practices in IFS to demarcate and control WIP between operationsOur goal is to achieve clear visibility, traceabil

I have a question regarding Shop Order Req (SOR) vs Shop Order (SO) start dates once they are manually created. We are using infinite capacity, along with backwards scheduling. MRP is driving the SORs and start dates. When manually converting SORs based on SOR start dates, the created SO has a different start date than the SOR originally had. i.e. We review SORs 1-2 days before the the start dates and manually create SOs from then. I would expect the newly created SOs to have the same start dates as the SOR we just converted, but at times they differ.  Looking for feedback on what cause the the SOR and SO start dates to differ?

We have picking days set as 3 days but all Shop Orders seem to finishing just in time for the demand.  We want stock to be on our shelves 3 days before it needs picked for the demand shop order or customer order.  Anyone else having this issue ??? Or have we a setup incorrect ?? 

Hi all.I have calculated the cost set 12 for all inventory parts on a site and all was right. After that, I have copied all the inventory parts from cost set 12 to cost set 1. The job finished ok.But, the result is that all the inventory parts have not been modified. I do not know why. But, if, manually, I copy the cost for an inventory part no copied in the previous process, I mean, RMB in Part Cost window, the cost is copied well.Does anyone know why? Is the same process running from the menu for all inventory parts as the job running from Part Cost window

I am looking at how Comment Functionality works for different File types as Redline? currently I have defined “doc” as view and “docx” as Redline type and expect to open comment with MS Word. however I still manually change the Redline copy from “Doc” to “Docx”. The errorI get is “Can not start external Viewer application”. This is just one example, I am trying to find out how Redline app works for each individual file type. for example for a word file,Excel or Autocad? Thanks, Aida.

Trying to create a repair Product Structure where the byproduct is a serialized part.  Receiving an Error Message that Serialized Byproducts are not supported.  Is there a way to correct this? 

Hi We are trying to find the best way to utilize IFS Non Conformance Report for working according to the 8D-method. This is standard in the automotive industri and we are obliged to document according to this method. Has anyone else done this and found best practice for this in IFS? We are thinking of a couple of alternatives: Create one action in the NCR, then create/process one CAPA for this but it doesn´t cover all the 8 steps. Create 8 actions in the NCR to represent the 8 steps in the method. Create CAPA actions for step 3 and 5 in the method if necessary. (It is a lot of steps/administration to handle each action) Create one NCR with one Capa, then create 8 actions in the CAPA.

Hello, Is it possible to show/get the shop order number on to the customer order lines screen ?I know I can get that by going into IMAP, but is there an API call or something by which I can show the shop order number on the customer order lines ?

I have an alternate component set up and the product structure has the Alternate Exist checkbox checked on the component line.  There is no inventory of the original part and there is inventory of the alternate component part.  But when I try to process a shop order the Alternate Exist checkbox is not checked on the shop order and when I right mouse on the line and choose Alternate component/replace, I get an error that No alternate component is defined or component qty required is zero, but that is not true, what am I missing? 

Hello,  I’m attempting to use the Copy Part feature to copy an Inventory Part, Routing, and Product structure to another site in my system. Currently, we are creating parts in an estimating site that houses all of our work centers, labor classes, etc. Once the parts are finalized, I would like to use the Copy Part function to move those parts to the correct manufacturing site. I have noticed that the Copy Part function works, however it does not bring over my routing steps. I’ve tried changing the status to Build, but the routing steps still do not appear after the copy. I’m not sure if there is something I’m missing, or if this is how the Copy Part function works when you try to copy to another site.  The final item I’ve noticed is that you are not able to copy a new Product Structure component part to a new site unless you manually copy the part prior to running the Copy Part from the top level Inventory Part. My assumption was that if you run the Copy Part from the top level, if

 Hello,I am in production at my client's site. He upgraded yesterday to version 25R1, and I am getting this error message when receiving an OF. Have you ever seen this message before?  ORA-01400: impossible d'insérer NULL dans (\"IFSAPP\".\"SO_COST_DISTRIBUTION_TMP\".\"COST_BUCKET_PUBLIC_TYPE\")"}]

Hi,We are using IFS10 update 15.Basic setup is so, that we have warehouse in different site than manufacturing is. Customer orders are entered to warehouse site and MS level 1 part is active in warehouse site. If there is a need to manufacture more to warehouse, system creates Distribution order to manufacturing site. Also purchase order and customer order between the sites are created automatically. In manufacturing site, they create Shop Order and then they do ’backwards pegging’. Sometimes, there is that situation that DO receipt date is two weeks ahead but production has possibility to produce earlier (SO need date is earlier than DO receipt date) → when they do ‘backward pegging’ correctly to SO, Why DO date is not changing ?    If manufacturing is later than original DO receipt date, then DO date is updated correctly.. 

Does anyone know if it’s possible to schedule the “Calculate Order Cost” for all Shop Orders on a particular site or can this job only be run manually one shop order at a time?     Thanks  

Hi, In our current process, we reserve materials in the warehouse (picking locations). The warehouse worker moves those reserved goods to the production floor with a transport task (which is inside a warehouse task). The operator issues the materials and starts the shop order clocking. We want to make sure that the operator can only issue after the warehouse worker has finished the warehouse task. So he should only be able to issue from the inbound or specified locations (not from the picking locations).Is this possible?

How do I add a configured part to a purchase order to a supplier who has a remote ware house with our stock that we need them to build a finished good with?

Hi I was wondering if there was some documentation or suggestions for dealing with First Article Inspection for manufacturing on IFS. I was hoping for something that would help for implementating.Thanks

Community, will “Plan Alternate Component” check box should be checked when running MRP? if i want the alternate component to be involved in MRP calculation?  we did this, but looks like nothing changed, do you experience the same? Thank you.

Hi all, We are looking to optimize the way we perform our Inventory count of the Finished goods product in our warehouses.  Currently, we hold shipping for about 3 days to complete performing the inventory and then resume shipping on the 4th day.  Just wondering what some of the different ways in which you are counting your Finished goods inventory.  Do you utilize a 3rd party team?  Do you count/freeze warehouse-by-warehouse?   Any other ways to shorten the time for performing the inventory count? Thanks in advance!D

Hi!We use a lot of time adding new parts and registering these on many sites. Does anyone have a good solution for copying these parts out to different sites? The data for each part are more or less exactly the same. Could for example IFS Replication be used even though it’s not separate databases or should could we use IFS data migration?
