Redline Comment

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.

Copy Part function question

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

Easier distribution of parts within DB to different sites

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?

Auto reserve material

Hi we are using apps 10 and have recently linked the material lines to the shop order operation on the product structure. The ‘Reserve/ issue method’ is set to Reserve and backflush’, since we have done this our planning department are now unable to automatically reserve material before releasing the shop order to manufacturing and the only way is to manually reserve each line item. the planner is promoted with the below warning message preventing them to auto reserve the material. does anyone know what it is causing this issue?regardsJamie

Two-Stage Picking Functionality

In reading the help on two-stage picking, if the checkbox on the site is not checked, IFS should allow single stage picking, which it is not.  Our users are still getting a pop up when it’s not checked for our Shipment Types. However, when using one of our shipment types (210) it doesn’t popup at time of picking and I think it’s due to the Source Ref 1, which our other shipment types don’t have. There isn’t much documentation on this field, but I am trying to figure out if other application settings are hindering the ability of this field. Has anyone had experience with this field?  If so, can you provide details on why we still get a “two-stage” picking pop up when it’s not checked. Application Base Setup > Enterprise > Site > Site (Sales & Procurement Tab)

How to work with length materials on Shop Order?

IFS Product Structure Components has a field “Qty per Assembly”. This is converted into “Qty per Assembly” on Shop Order Materials. The Shop Order can have a Lot Size and this leads to a “Qty required” on Shop Order Materials. This is OK for UoM PCS, but how would this work with UoM meters? Example: Component UoM = “m” and “Qty per Assembly” = 0,2 m. Lot Size = 5 so my “Qty required” = 1 m, but Shop Order doesn’t need 1 m. It needs 5 x 0,2 m!

Bid Estimate Std Lot Size

Often times in our industry, we will need to requote an existing product to our customer. The Bid Estimate module does allow us to pull in the existing Inventory Part, which is great. However, I have noticed that if you do that, you cannot modify the Std Lot Size on the part. I’ve attempted to create a new Version and Revision, but I am still unable to change this. Often times we will change the Std Lot Size to give several cost options. Is there a way to accomplish this in IFS?

Work Instructions

Has anyone implemented work instructions within IFS and or attached fillable PDF forms attached to shop orders that when submitted attach to the shop order they originated from.  Trying to create work flow that assemblers, techs and engineers can verify the work being done is being documented within the shop order thereby eliminating the paperwork associated with creating build binders /  work travelers to a paperless e-traveler / build binder.

One manufacturing work center , registered in two sites, how to plan shop order operations ?

There are more than one occasions that I have come across that our users define one physical machine in 2 sites expecting to plan shop order operations seamlessly. But this set up sometime leads to very confusing consequences. Example : Company : A Site : X Site : Y Expensive CNC machine is installed in Site X ( defined as a manufacturing work center in Site X as "CNC-X"). But this usually runs under capacity ( lets assume that both sites runs on 8 hr calendar). So The company decides that they can put some shop orders registers in Site Y to be done in the under utilized work center in Site X. Therefore it is decided to define the work center in site Y as " CNC-Y" in IFS. Now lets assume that the manufacturing planner has access to both site X and site Y shop order operations. If you run CRP, since in IFS , CNC is 2 distinct work centers, the capacity available is 8 hr each. Which is not really the case. For both sites , the available hours are 8 in total per day. In such setup p
