Why would the duration be different on two clocking when the start and stop times are the same?  Note the screen shot below… the duration on 11/6 is 3.87 hours, but the duration on 11/10 is only 1.48 hours.  It appears that the system is doing something different on Mondays but it’s only impacting certain employees.  

Is there a way to backflush material in a Shop Order without getting the following error? Parent part is multilevel tracking enabled and serializedThe error doesn’t appear when the “Manual Reservation” is done. However, even in manual reservation the locations available are all locations and not only the backflushing locations even though they are defined on the component level.

This seems like a basic request but I cannot find any way to achieve this inside IFS (Apps10).If we have a part shortage, how can we generate a list of all top level parts (manufactured units) that this part could go into?With a lot of manual work/expanding of assemblies we can get there using the Complete Where Used and Component Where Used screens, but we have to expand all of the multiple level sub-assemblies in order to find all of the top level parts that are impacted.Surely there has to be a better, quicker way to identify just a simple list of top level units (final assembly) that would require a specific part?

Hello,I have a Shop Order that I can’t close due to an error in costs.I notice that I had a product that was issued first and it was set by mistake as ‘Zero cost only’, then we notice and change it to ‘Zero Cost Forbidden’.Then we make an unissue and issue again, but it has costs already.Do you have an idea how to solve this? 

Hi now i have Gray hair , trying to create a navigation link that worked fine in the old 22r1But now we are in 24r1 and moving on to 25r1, The date format for searching is different now Here is what im trying to do From shop floor workbench im getting Contract “site” and Part no = partno , but then i want only see todays orders SoNeedDate = #TODAY#when follow the link we get this error Error details: [{"code":"TYPES_NOT_COMPATIBLE","message":"The types 'Edm.DateTimeOffset' and 'Edm.Date' are not compatible."}]but if we only press close the search it there and works 

Hi All,Is there a way to cancel an Analysis Result when the data point is in Complete status? According to the IFS document, data point should be in incomplete status to cancel an analysis result. Is there any work around solution to cancel an unwanted analysis result? When attempting to cancel the Analysis, I receive the error shown below.Thank You.

Hello IFS Community,  When we regenerate the calendars with the addition of new exceptions to already generated calendar, scheduling/Planning of all the DOP connected Shop Orders and PRs become inaccurate. The only option seems available to correct them to reply on the function “Propagate Date Upstream “. However, this is not practical when there many open DOP orders. I already created a ticket to IFS support, and they wanted me to create a community post . Kindly enhance this in a future release ?  

Hi, We have a customer that needs to sequence manufacturing of multiple parts in for packing and installation. For example:  They need a total 30 x Part P1 and 7 x Part P2 For packing and installation they might to make the parts in the follow quantities. 5 x P1 2 x P2 10 x P1 1 x P2 3 x P1 2 x P2 5 x P1 2 x P2 7 x P1 The finished goods have multiple parts that are both purchased and subassemblies made other shop orders. They aren’t using DOP. The demands for the shop orders are generated by PMRP.The preference is not to split this into multiple shop orders for the sequencing (ie just one shop order for 30 x P1 and one shop order 7 x P2).Another option is that if we do split the final parts into multiple shop orders for sequencing, after the initial run of PMRP, the shop orders for underlying assem

Hello everyone,with the page designer, it is possible to add data to a field. In this example, the part description is added to the part number.This is done by adding a VIEW and using the Template address.Where is this template defined?Thanks,Golo  

I have been looking into the new Co-product feature in 25R1 and it seems ideal for our needs except for one major flaw.  Parent part must not be multi-level trackedFor this feature to be of any use to us we would require both the parent part and the co-product to be lot tracked. Even in the example given in the release presentation of two castings made in the same mold it makes no sense to only be able to lot track one of the castings. Can anyone explain the logic behind this? Surely if I am making two products that are equally valuable then I should be able to track them equally?  Will tracking of the parent part be available in future releases?   

Hello all,When we proceed to a revision transfer actions for a Manufactured part, the structure data from the previous revision, such as “Reserve/Issue from Loc” or “Reseve/Issue Method” are lost. Is there a way to preserve these informations when creating a new revision ? Thank you for your help. 

Extending functionality on DOPs – connection of DOP components to operations – mentioned in 25R1. We have SU 25.1.2 + APB released on 2025-01-20. See behavior, seems does not work correctly:DOP – 3 levels, component T-2 is connected to Operation 20 of T-1. The same connection on SO:APB before scheduling – just scheduler by IFS – OKParameters of scheduling in APB:After scheduling in APB – connection t

Hi, I would like to raise this question in the forum to understand how different users handle the situation described below. I am working with a customer whose BOM structure contains multiple levels sometimes up to seven.When we create a shop order for the top level item and run MRP, shop order requisitions and purchase requisitions for the lower level components are generated automatically. After converting these shop order requisitions into shop orders, is there a way to view all child shop orders linked to the top-level shop order?Essentially, my customer wants to see the related shop orders and the material availability for each of them.We can review the BOM structure using MRP Part Information (Top-Down), but this does not provide a clear view of the shop order hierarchy or the critical path.How would you address this type of requirement? Are there standard functionalities or possible views that could help achieve this?

Hi everyone,We’re currently preparing our migration from IFS Apps 9 to IFS Cloud, and besides the functional transition (e.g., Project Delivery → Deliverables), we’re also exploring the reporting side of the migration.Specifically, we’re looking for experiences from others who have: Migrated from Crystal Reports to IFS Report Studio, and Worked with Report Designer reports in Apps 9. We’re wondering: How did you approach the migration of Crystal Reports — did you rebuild them in Report Studio or use an alternative strategy? How mature and flexible is IFS Report Studio in your experience? What happens to Report Designer reports from Apps 9 — are they still available and functional after migration to IFS Cloud, or do they need to be redeveloped? We’d love to hear from any

HelloWe want to use MSO, do you have user guide of what we need to set up at first step and further step of one by one? We try to set up Finite Scheduling Basic Data, get error massage of “PSO Server is not connected for Configuration ID Default”. What action we need to take?Please help to advice. ThanksSusan

Why do tentative structures show up on the multi level structure tab on the Product Structure page?Part Number 101793 has two product structures:  Rev 1 is buildable and Rev 2 is tentative.Both Rev 1 and Rev 2 show up on the multi level structure.I would have thought that only buildable structures are included in this view.  Any insight into what is and is not included in the multi level structure would be appreciated. Each color represents a component that’s in both Rev 1 and Rev 2 of 101793.  Rev 2 is tentative and I wouldn’t expect it to show up on this view.  

Customer (Apps10 EE) wants to create a document revision without a file and in a field on the document revision enter a link to an external location where the file will reside. I recall doing this before custom fields were readily available, but I cannot recall where in the document revision the link was entered. Anybody have experience with this without using a custom field?

Steps to recreate Shop Order error in IFS Cloud 24R2: Create shop order for a part with lot tracking, close code = Auto Close, and close tolerance > 50. On Shop Order > Lots/Batches, create more than one row and save. My example uses two lot batches. Complete all material issues, guideline sign offs, and all operations up to the final operation on the order. From Shop Floor Workbench, attempt to approve the final operation. In the Approve Operation dialog, enter expiration dates for the Lots/Batches to Receive, then click Finish. Receive error: “The order is closed and it is not possible to add anymore lots to the order”. At this point the SO status = Started, and nothing is received. Navigate to the Shop Order and change one of two things: Change Close Tolerance to <= 49. Change Close Code to Manually C

Hi, Does anyone know if IFS App 10 has any quality tools for root cause analysis such as:5W 2W5 Why?Pareto analysis?Ishikawa?If so, where and how can I use them?And is the screen (8D) in the attached document part of the App 10 standard? 

Hi All, I’m trying to make a workflow that changes values on an new shop order. Currently shoporder has defaults of * for Release and Sequence numbers and I want to make those something else, for example, lets say X. I set up the workflow, with call in the projection actions:  and then set the workflow design in the same way as the IFS example:    

Hi, I run Cloud 24R2, it’s not possible to edit a clocking for previous days. What is the setting that prevents that, I get an error. What parameter or setting prevent me from edit, create new or cancel clockings in the past?Second question, can I adjust clocking by set a duration time instead of  start and stop?  

 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\")"}]

Community, do we have a report or window that will give the same info for window Average Issues/Receipts per Period? if there is a report or browsing widnow out of box that listed the parts in horizontal format that will be great. Thank you.
