Products (Manufacturing, Products, Engineering)

It is frequent for us to issue a qty of materials on a shop order that is over or under the qty planned on the product structure, since the final amount of material used is not known until the completion of an operation midway through the order. If the amount issued is under the Required Qty, then the Remaining Qty to Issue on the material line still appears as Demand Quantity on MRP Part Information, until the rest of the shop order is closed - this throws off MRP calculations as the system still thinks that amount will be consumed on that shop order, even though the final qty has already been issued for that material line. The only known way for us to remediate this is to manually change the Required Qty of the material line to match the actual issued qty. Has anyone else dealt with this issue before, have an automated solution or just something we are missing? We are targeting only material lines with Manual reserve method.   

Hi all,We have a situation where MRP plans manufactured parent and component parts sequentially, while in reality production can start before the supplying shop order is fully completed.Example:Part A is a manufactured component. Part B is a manufactured parent part that uses 1 piece of Part A. The routing for both Part A and Part B results in approximately 1 hour lead time per piece. For a shop order quantity of 40 pieces, the total lead time becomes approximately 1 week.As a result, MRP plans:Shop Order for Part A from Monday to Friday. Shop Order for Part B starting the following Monday.This means MRP assumes all 40 pieces of Part A must be completed before Part B can start.In reality, once the first pieces of Part A are completed, production of Part B could already begin. Therefore, we would like MRP to generate requisitions and planned shop orders with some degree of overlap.Additional information:The product structures and routings have been migrated from our previous ERP system

Hi, can we set a max lot size in a DOP structure? Case: Component A is made in a tank of 500L. In the DOP structure, we have a shop order for componenent A. However, if need more than 500L, we would like to have seperate shop orders for each max 500L. Thanks!

While testing the Shop Order Floor Workbench in IFS Cloud we have come across Cloud issues we see challenging in the way of navigating using the Shop Floor Workbench.Having to go outside Shop Floor Workbench to another window is a major effort given that the window resets every time. Since the filters are forgotten (when navigating to another screen and then go back) and there is no link between where you went from and where you are going to. You always must remember a lot of information, to be able to perform the next step.This limitation has a major business impact and to avoid this, we want to explore the possibility of following:The specific Shop Order in a popup. Illustration below.Access to the Shop Order in Shop Floor Workbench is used when:• We change the need date for planning purposes• Make changes to the BOM (Bill of Material) to keep traceability in IFS while adapting to real world production conditions• Change alternates• Make changes to the number of units needed on the S

Hi, We are looking for IFS Cloud standard solutions for the below requirements. Appreciate your inputs.IFS Cloud 25R2 MRB Quantity update Once we create a MRB the system is not allowing to modify the Qty to Disposition, even the MRB is still in Planned state. We receive PO through multiple receipts but to a same Lot/Batch No. it is required to update the already opened MRB with new quantities. This is not possible at the moment When creating a MRB for Shop Order or PO Receipt is it possible to temporarily transfer these quantities to a different location (something like a quarantine location)? so once the MRB process is done the Qtys can be scrapped or re-transfer to the original location. (We are aware about the Available Control ID setup but that is usable only when creating MRBs from Inventories in stocks) Any possibility to apply the “Scrap Verification” feature in MRBs created for PO Receipts and Inventories (IPIS) ? So the scrapping is enforced in the Receipt or IPIS. Or may

Hello,I am working with Configure‑to‑Order (CTO) in IFS Cloud and I am trying to dynamically calculate the quantity of a by‑product in the shop order, based on the quantity of the main product.The number of by‑products should depend on the produced quantity of the main product.For example:Main product quantity By‑product quantity 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 2 6 2 7 3 8 3 9 3 10 3 This logic is implemented using a CTO Configuration Structure Rule, where: A configuration formula is used to set the Quantity per Assembly Test formula gives the expected (positive) result When I release the Customer Order (Supply Type = Shop Order), I get the following error message:“Calculation of quantity required for produced part <by‑product> has resulted in a negative value”What is confusing is:The formula result is positive The same approach works for normal components The issue only occurs when the component is a by‑product Is it supported in IFS Cloud CTO to use a Configu

Hi!We’re trying to set up an object connection transformation to inventory part to the Shop Order Multilevel Repair Structure page. Our best guess would be to set upDocument Object Connection on LU ShopOrdUtil, view AS_BUILT_CONFIG_HEAD_SO or AS_BUILT_CONFIGURATION_SO.  Object Connection Transfer with InventoryPart as source and ShopOrdUtil as target.It is possible to set up, but the page shows no attachments at all. In fact, there is no paperclip symbol at all and no attachment panes, other than for the shop order at the very top. The rest of the page is connected to a tree. We’re guessing there is some limitation that makes the object connection transformation impossible to use here, or does someone know of a workaround?And, if you know it’s not possible, exactly why?

Hi Alldoes anyone know of a quicker way of entering analysis results on a control plan on Shop Order in cloud. Looks like the change from APPS10 is too laborious having to enter and confirm line by line, especially when several lines to complete.  I know you can filter to view by Data Type on the Analysis Results window, but looks like your unable to enter results on that page.If you were able to enter results here it speed up the process.   Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,I'm trying to understand whether the following behavior is standard or not.Create an Inventory Part. Create two Inventory Control Plan Templates. Apply both templates to the Inventory Part. Create a Control Plan from the first template and activate it. Create another Control Plan from the second template and activate it for the same Inventory Part.Both Control Plans can be activated successfully. They are active for the same Inventory Part with the same phase-in and phase-out date range.Next, repeat the same process with a new Inventory PartCreate another Inventory Part. Create two Control Plans using the same Inventory Control Plan Templates. This time, select a Part Revision in the Control Plan header for both Control Plans. Activate the first Control Plan successfully. When attempting to activate the second Control Plan, the following error is displayedThe customer's requirement is to have multiple active Inventory Control Plans for the same Inventory Part that are valid for the

Hello,We have a requirement where the Part Cost for a fabricated part should automatically match the value entered in the Part Unit Cost field.Is there a standard IFS Cloud functionality or setup that allows the Part Cost to be synchronized with the Part Unit Cost automatically?Any guidance or experience on this topic would be appreciated.Thank you.  

We are producing Product A (Produced Part) using Product B (Component) at a 1 to 1 ratio.We over-produced Product A by qty 10.We want to “disassemble” product A.  What is the best process to follow so:Product A (Produced Part) inventory reduces by 10 Product B (Component Part) inventory increases by 10We have used just the Unreceive functionality but it causes financial issues with the component part.

Hi everyone,Hi everyone,I have a question about a configurable item. Where can I find information on how the cost of individual operations was determined for this item?For non-configurable items, there is the Part Routing Cost screenThanks in advance for your help

One of my customers is encountering errors of various types when they run the costing calculation and the encounter of the error shuts down the background job.  So they correct the error and rerun the process.  Now, if they run the process again and another error for another part is encountered, the second background job also fails.Does anyone know if there is a process that can pre-check the calculation for all the possible errors without actually writing the newly calculated costs to the part cost records? Thanks

We have the issue, that we use “Reserve an Bacflash” as settings for the issuing material from floor stock.Now we have connected the correct Locations to the Work Center and we produce normal.Operator has reserved 1 of the 2 reels, which are available on his floor stock. Now he has not so much qty on this reel to report the produced qty, but he has entered the fully produced qty. and the system has taken the difference from the unreserved material from his location.  How we can fix this in the best way, that the system stopps and give a warning, you have not enough material reserved for this issuing.

Hello,  I have a configuration change request in the status “Approved” At this point, I would go to DOP header with the following setting And updated the suply configuration - after which I would finalize the changes on the shop orders and then finalized the configuration change request. But for some reason, now I am getting the following error once doing so: Any idea what does the system want? Thank you,  Best RegardsPetaKu  

Hi all,When I run One level cost I got error but All level cost not. After run All level cost then One level cost works. Here is some details.

I am looking for a demo or specific information on IFS Cloud QM capabilities. I have a plant that is looking into an All-in-one QMS Platform by Octave formerly ETQ software (we have yet to implement IFS Cloud - go-live is 2028) and I am trying to avoid getting yet another application in here and having to integrate it into IFS. So I want to share the IFS Cloud capabilities with them. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hello Together,We went live with a customer and currently face an issue:That costs does not appear on cost bucket detail after running the calculation for all articles (all part calculation) but you can see all results in the overview “part cost variances”: The Question is can rely on the results listed in this overview and just copy them to cost bucket 1?  If you run the calculation for all levels the cost appears in the cost bucket details again.Anyone has an idea on this one?Kind regards

Hello, I am wondering if there is anybody that can help me with a customer question in IFS 9. The request is as follows:A repair shop order used a part with condition code ‘UNREP’. Cost = 0,00 When the shop order is finalized the total cost of the labor setup time should be included in the unit cost of the finalized product (3 hours of 35,00 = 87,50) The unit cost of the finalized product must also include cost of components used during the repair (65,03 in our example) The unit cost of the serialized part with condition code ‘REP’ must be 152,53However, the fixed labor setup time is not added when reporting in shop floor workbench and is missing. But when using button Approve Op labor time is added. Customer wants to be able to use the normal functions of the Shop floor work bench. I do not have access to the environment and rely on copilot to help me analyze what the customer test. As it stands right now after testing, copilot is thinking IFS 9 supports fixed estimated setup cost via

Hi,One of our customer wants to upload a consolidated forecast into IFS so it can be expanded out to show the growth in raw material and component demand and allow the Purchasing Team to see the longer term requirements for several years.This is very top level rather than at customer level by which they normally enter forecasts.Ex: My question is can we upload this forecast into MS Level 1 and derive raw material/component demand for coming periods, with/without generating supplies (PRs, Shop Order Reqs etc?Also, would that be possible to register this forecast and calculate the demand for raw materials separate from the actual forecast register for this year using a different MS level set? I appreciate any feedback you can share.Thank you

We have recently moved to a REST API connection with our EDI data in IFS. With this move, we have started to experience issues with Auto Approving Customers in the Incoming Customer Order screen. We have the Customer profile set up to be Automatic for the Incoming Order / Schedule Approval however it will stop in Incoming Customer Order screen with the Status of “RequiresApproval”. With this, there is no error message or stopped message error. Once you RMB click “Approve” it creates the order with no issues. Has anyone encountered this before or have solution to ensure our auto approving Customer’s truly come through IFS Incoming Customer Orders and automatically approve?

I am trying to add a custom field to the ‘Consists Of’ list in the Engineering Part Navigator window, however when I add a field to the LU EngPartStructure, the field does not display as available to add to the table.Does anyone know how to add a custom field to this table?

We have tried to run the database task "Auto Processing Shop Order" as a scheduled task.  we have set the Offset from normal Time Span  at various days so it will only do specified weeks in advance.   Trouble is when we run it all Shop orders even those not within the specified time frame, get all their materials reserved.   is the task faulty or are we not setting the Task up correctly?
