Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

Would like to know how each one works . Appreciate if someone can give me resource link or manual regarding how CRP/RRP AND MRP works in IFS.

Does anybody have any documentation regarding IFS ERP ? or Can you recommend an external source ?      Thanks 

Hi, i am looking for experiences using either IFS built in report tool or 3P products for creating labels. Labels used for handling units (multiple level) and products. Labels using Odette standards and/or GS1 (GTIN) of extra interest. BR Håkan

Looking to start a conversation with users that have similar requirements/processes and maybe even a solution that you wouldn’t mind sharing. All parts get setup in our PDM system and and are configured in the form of an Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM). These EBOMs are generally built from the bottom up and contain every part needed to cost the final product. These BOMS may feature Technical, Design and Electrical parts. We need to bring these parts into IFS in the form of a product structure that is configured for manufacturing (MBOM).These MBOMs differ from EBOMS as the component parts may be combined in different ways in order to best facilitate the manufacturing process (effectively create sensible Shop Orders in IFS). If this resonates with anyone on this forum please reply. Many thanks,Pete

Hello. When i am writing in custom block PL/SQL : Error_SYS.Record_General(‘This program was executed ’,’Some text’) ; then application show popup window whith this two texts, but block "pl/sql" is return/exit and not execute.   How show in application only popup window whith this information, but don't stoping the block pl/sql ?  

I am trying to create a Custom Event in IFS 8 - “CRO Receive Part” to Display an Alert if a user tries to save when the Serial No on the Receive does not match the one on the “Component Repair Order”.I am able to use Error_Sys.Record_General to display a message  and force the user to go back, however, sometimes it is OK that the Serial No is different. I would like the user to be able to Click ‘Cancel’ to go back and ‘Continue’ if it is OK. I have tried to use Client_Sys.Add_Info and Client_SYS.Add_Warning, but they do nothing.What am I missing? DECLARE  CURSOR cro_line_cursor  IS  SELECT clt.cro_no, clt.line_number, clc.cf$_reported_serial_no serial_no    FROM cro_line_tab clt        ,cro_line_cft clc   WHERE clt.rowkey = clc.rowkey     AND clt.cro_no = '&NEW:CRO_NO'     AND line_number = '&NEW:LINE_NUMBER'     AND contract = '&NEW:CONTRACT';BEGIN  FOR cro_line_rec IN cro_line_cursor LOOP    IF '&NEW:SERIAL_NO' != cro_line_rec.serial_no THEN      Error_Sys.Record_Gene

Morning,IFS Help on this utility is non-existent, and IFS Support once again refuse to help describing this as a training issue.All I want to understand is what logic the utility uses to re-classify parts.Thanks in advance if anyone has any documentation they can share.Chris.

Hello All,We recently had a bunch of turnover in our Accounting department and with that a good portion of IFS knowledge went out the door :(  Anyway, all our parts have the following set-up on the inventory part record:   What we are trying to understand is how does the Unit Cost on the Inventory Value tab on the Inventory record gets updated?  We have lots of parts (both purchased and manufactured) that have estimated material costs as well as  (latest purchase price or average purchase-if purchased) whereby the Unit cost = 0.00.  Example:  Is there IFS jobs or processes that need to be executed to have this value updated?  Basically, how does the inventory values get maintained in the system?  Thanks, Mark

Hi guys,   Can I get an overview of what DOP is and its expected benefits (say, as contrasted to standard MRP or pMRP) in APPS 10.   thanks,

I need to add some custom fields in IFS cloud environment to recreate a customer scenario.  Is there a method in IFS cloud to add custom filed directly? Furthermore, if I need to add number of custom fields in IFS cloud what is the best method? 

Hello, We are currently not using IFS part configurator and part serialization. We tried to teach ourselves in our test environment but haven’t been successful. Does anyone have a recommendation to get started with part configurator and serializing those parts? Thank you! 

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to monitor Quick Reports in order to detect which reports are effectively used? Thank you and Regards, Rui Resende.

Hi AllI know I have seen the answer before, I just cannot find it. I recall someone advising where to go in IFS (2003) to get a list of Transaction Codes and descriptions of them. Can anyone help, please?Thanks!  Tim,  

Hello, could someone please point me in the right direction for webinars or videos that may help with Advanced Planning Board setup and functionality. Thank You

Business process automation is a hot topic for few years now. Automate routine, high-volume tasks that are prone to human error and consume valuable staff resources will provide lot of benefits to companies, and in turn a good business opportunity for ERP vendors. In the "Accounting" field what are the main areas that we can think of Automation? > for. e.g. Supplier Invoicing Process - 3 way matching Very much interested in knowing the possibilities of how we can automate Accounting processes.

Hi, The business I'm employed by is considering the purchase of Project MRP (or pMRP) to compliment our existing packages (IFS Apps 10 and APB).   However, it's not entirely clear what additional features pMRP provides (and the problems this tackles that the 'stock' planning tools can't).   Can you please outline its key contributions to production planning or at least some information with respect to it. I can't find any detailed resources online for reference.   Many thanks, Jay

Can a inventory part(a manufacturing part with subparts) be selected as “Phantom Consume” in a product structure, not must be a phantom part?  when this phantom consume part has no inventory, the subparts, instead of this part, are seen in “component” of the shop order. But why the operations to finish this phantom consume part is not included in the shop order routing?  there is also an other concept “phantom part”. How they function differently in a shop order between a part with “phantom consume” selected and a phantom part? can anyone give a use case example for each?

Question customer raisedWhen entering or updating Resources in a Project Activity, it will often show a message such as:”The resource xxx has no capacity calculated for the activity period.”Clicking ‘Yes’ will add the record as expected, so not stopping functionality. Why this message appears?  

One of the customers am working with have observed the following. Would request your assistance to help solve this issue. Note the customer is running application 9. The system is retrieving costs erroneously from Standard Costing for Employee Category when it should be using costs from the labor class. Flow to re-create the issue: 1. Have labor class set up for both run time and overhead costs. 2. Have employee set up for Employee Category General. 3. Have Standard Costs set for Employee Category General different than labor class so you can be sure what the system is doing. 4. Make sure that Company Details for Company i.e X are not checked to use Employee Costs. (This would be the signal to use Standard Cost) 5. Make sure that Site is not Checked for Override Employee Costs This determines which labor class costs the system should use. 6. Then report time for employee 1063 who is in employee category General. 7. Check the costs. Costs are bein

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

Has anyone ever created an integration to manage some business processes in parallel between SAP and IFS (i.e. SAP for Finance and IFS for Manufacturing/Distribution or SAP for all SCM/Finance and IFS for Manufacturing)? Thank you!

Anytime our inventory numbers are off or sales support consumes something they shouldn’t have, we have to jump through hoops to invoice block the lines, or invoice the inventory and do a credit, then fake ship inventory to repopulate consignment stock.Is there a way to “un-consume” consignment stock or another way to handle consignment stock/transactions?Thank you in advance.
