Community, borrow your mind, do you think below error is due to a system bug? we are in APP10 UPD9, basically we just want to unissue a component from a shop order. Shop order status is Started. 

Hello,How to set up auto-incrementation for a field in a custom entity? I didn’t see any option available in the interface.I saw that it’s possible to use a number counter, but I’m not sure how to link it to a field of my entity through the interface.  Thank you in advance for your help.

Greetings!When I try to create a configuration in IFS Apps 10, it auto populates an item that is not even in my part configuration revision. Anybody know why? 

Community, any idea why the “Add Forecast” is disabled on below screen? 

We’re investigating if it’s possible to select Shop Orders based on their status for loading into the Advanced Planning Board. Based on the research that we’ve done to date there seems to be no way of doing this within the standard system.Does anyone have any previous experience in doing this, or have any suggestions of how it could be achieved?

Hello,We are setting up the product estimator and noticed that when an existing part is added, or a new part created, it is not possible to add by-product information in the estimate/estimate item. If a new part is created in the estimator, and an existing part product structure is copied into it, the information also does not seem to port over.Does anyone know if this is a limitation?

Hi.We’re successfully created a custom note field on the Standard Operation page, with it being brought to other pages via expression/reference custom attributes as well. The field is called Cc Operation DefinitionWe’ve noticed the field only accounts for the data put into it when we use the “Reference” option with “Add Standard Operation” on the pages though, using “Copy” leaves the note field blank. In Shop Order, the assistant doesn’t give you the option to select between Copy or Reference, and the custom field appears blank: On the Routing page however, where the Add Standard Operation allows you to choose between Copy or Reference, choosing Reference populates the custom field with the data thats been added to it: How should we go about making the field populate via the copy option and in other windows as well where the option between the two isn’t offered? Thank you in advance!

When a timeout error occurs in IFS Cloud, please tell me whether internal processing continues, the process is forcibly terminated, or some other behavior occurs.

I am using APPS10 and I need to identify the pdfs that are printed automatically by IFS (not instigated by the user). Examples;A delivery note is printed automatically when a customer order is released A Pick List can be printed automatically if the “Shipment Type” is defined correctly. Customer Statements are printed automatically (if the “Output Media” in the Customer screen is set to “Printout”)But there are many more that are auto printed that I don’t know aboutThere is nothing in report rules that tells me what I need to know. In Print Jobs for pdfs that are printed by IFS,  the “Ordered By” column gives the name of the person logged in to IFS when it was printed but that is not what I want either.I want to differentiate between print jobs that occur when the print dialog box appears and “OK“ is clicked (see below).Is there a way I can find this in IFS? Thank you.  

Hi, We have a customer who has 800+ line items in the Project Deliverables Material Plans. When executing "Create Supply Request" for the total line items below error pops up.IFS Web Version: 24.1.14.20250702093228.0Date: 2025-10-06T03:25:57.448Z --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DeliveryStructureItemExecutionHandling/ItemDetails (server error)Database error occurred. Contact administrator.Error details: [{"code":1460,"message":"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested"}]But when we execute it in two batches (350,450 each) the error is not there and Supply Requests are created without any errors.Is there a limitation on how many line items can be converted at one go? Any experience in handling large number of Material Plan line items?  

 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\")"}]

We use pegging in shop orders a lot, and having just started using the ‘projects’ section of IFS we are now in a position where we are executing our first builds.  We need to peg a shop order (created through shop order requisitions) into a shop order material line that has a supply type of ‘project inventory’ but are struggling with this? Is this possible, or does IFS stop you from pegging to project inventory lines? 

Is there a way to supress some of these options in “Shop Floor Workbench” with page designer or another method?  We spent quite a bit of time in the “Dialog” portion of page designer but couldn’t find a way. We also do not want to use “Shop Floor Reporting User Settings per Site” as it’s to granular and is missing options we’re trying to supress. Using 24R1 currently.   

Community, We don't see the solution that O level structure could be transferred like what we do manufacturing structure in IFS. We are in APP10  Did we miss anything? Thank you. 

Hi everyone,We’re currently in the process of implementing IFS and will be using the Shopfloor Workbench as our MES interface for shop floor employees.Right now, we’re exploring different options for how our floor personnel will interact with the system — including hardware choices, workstation layout, and overall integration with the machines.Would anyone be open to a walkthrough of your plant floor and hardware setup? We’d really appreciate the chance to see how others have approached this and learn from your experience.Thanks in advance!

Hi All.Is it possible to control the IFS standard so that Dop Order alarms are not generated?Our client is experiencing performance issues due to a large number of Dop Order alarms being created.Therefore, I would like to prevent Dop Order alarms from being generated.Best Regards.

Hi there,I’m working on Quality Management - Non Conformance Reports (IFS Cloud 23R2) and I’m trying to ‘activate ‘ the standard available ‘Approval Process’ (NCR section Attachments). It is (standard) possible to attach this Approval Process, but it seems that it’s not active? To be more specific: while handling the NCR via the workflow Disposition, Correction, Verification, the NCR is automaticly set to ‘Closed’ after Verification, regardless the fact that the linked Approval Process is still open?Hopefully someone can help me with this?Thx!

We have a tank that holds 200,000 lbs of oil and each truckload of oil we receive as a purchase part is approximately 75,000 lbs.  We would like to lot track the oil and have every truck load received have a lot applied.If we were to receive 75,000 lbs of LOT A into the 200,000 lb tank and some of that oil is consumed, then 75,000 lbs of LOT B is received into the same 200,000 lb tank, we would like to have one lot in the tank called LOT B (or other name) but if we were to look in IFS where LOT A was used every product that had some LOT B (or other name) in it would show in the list of where LOT A was used.Our main question is, does IFS Cloud (24R1 or beyond) have the ability to combine lots and maintain lot traceability? If so, how do we set this up?We would also want to stop the user from receiving a 4th lot into the tank until the tank is emptied.  So, in the above example they would be able to receive LOT C into the tank but when they try to receive LOT D it would fail and let them

Hi,Is there any option or module in IFS 9 that allows me to automatic send an alert when my stock arrives on minimum? Thanks,

Hello,We are thinking about some changes inside our daily routines with the refill of our production areas.We are working with 25kg bags(between 500 and 1000kg /pallet) and have not so much space inside our production area to handle 10 pallets there.Now we have build up each item into single handling units and would like to create a automatically process if the qty inside the prod area is lower than 50kg , please refill with a transport task from stock warehouse.Is here somewhere how can help to fix this process, to make the handling easier for all employer inside production and internal logistics? 

In our flat sheet processing dept we run multiple parts per sheet (nesting).  So the employee will Start Production on multiple Shop Orders (same WC on Shop Orders).  Example:  Employee is working on 3 Shop Orders.  Total time = 3 hoursCurrently 3 hours is added to each Shop Order for a total of 9 hoursWe would like to to split the time either evenly across (1 hour for each Shop Order) or split up based on qty/est.  I’m sure there is a set up we are missing, but I’ve been searching for an answer without luck.We are on Cloud 23.1.7Thank you, in advance for your help.JoyGCX 

As part of a redesign of one warehouse we are looking for a way to have a single Kanban pull result in a two-step material move that can be handled by WADACO.The situation is that production cells trigger the kanban, pulling material from the warehouse.  However for the new warehouse design the material must be picked from the warehouse locations and put into a single staging location, and then a separate move needs to be done from the staging location to the production cell.Is there a way to handle this natively inside IFS, accurately reflecting the true material locations and without any of the warehouse team waiting on material that is not yet in staging?  We use Transport Tasks today so that’s where we’ve been focusing to try to solve but maybe there is a different approach?If there’s no standard way to achieve this in IFS, the best thought I have at this time is as follows but it seems like overkill:Use an event to kill any Transport Task that gets created to pull from the new war

Hi,we work in multisite environment. We have manufacturing sites A & B. Both sites uses components in production that the other site manufactures. Components are transferred between sites with distribution orders. We have defined in supplier for purchase part supplier manufacturing lead time and site to site parameters transport time. Can someone explain the logic of DO schedules?Case: Shop order is created on site B and it requires component from site A. MRP create first DO from site A to B and then shop order request on site A. It seems that MRP does not take into consideration supplier manufacturing lead time at all but only tries to fullfill site B shop order component need even if component is not available on site A and manufacturing would take X days. What’s the point of supplier manufacturing lead time in case MRP does not use it in calculation?

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!

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?
