Visual Shop Orders Planning - IFS Cloud

Hi, I came across some questions in the Visual Shop Orders Planning screen in IFS Cloud. Appreciate your inputs to resolve those. Version  QuestionWhy the time line is showing only a few days in the week ? Can’t scroll back and forth to see other available days.?There are only 3 operations under this WC Resource. Why this 4th line is showing when there are no operations in that. Settings of the window/Gantt   Is it normal that the users have to refresh the screen after doing some changes in the Gantt, to properly reflect them ? (e.g., after a drag and drop the same operation is still showing at the previous time slot, only after a refresh it is removed from there) Is it possible to see Operations from “Interim Orders” (Interim Order Headers) in this planning screen ?  Any possibility to trigger MRP or Selective MRP from this planning screen?

Interim order error CTO by-products

Hello,When configuring a CTO with by-products in IFS Cloud, we need an interim order to be created. However, when attempting to create the interim order, I receive the following message:“No buildable routing revision/alternative exists for part xxxx at Site on the date 2-SEPT-25.”I checked part xxxx and confirmed that the part type is set to "by-product." It does not contain a routing and/or a product structure.What could be causing this error?Kind regards,Willem

Receive Shop order with substitute Part Number

Hi All, A customer following the Concurrent Engineering process reported an issue when part numbers are changed due to new design updates while the Shop Order is in Started status. The original part is serialized, and during manual receiving, when the source of the receive, part is switched to a substitute, the system shows the error: “Substituting for a Serialized Part not allowed.”This was reproduced in both APP10 Regional Test LKP and IFS Cloud 25R1 Test CMB environments. Upon reviewing the product documentation (Receive Substitute Part page), it is clearly mentioned under the prerequisites that: “The original part should not be a serialized part.”Business Impact:In Aerospace assembly manufacturing, shop orders often remain open for several weeks, and design changes occur frequently. Therefore, the ability to use substitute functionality for both serialized and non-serialized parts is critical for business operations. Currently, the substitute functionality works as expected for non

Best Way to Deliver Manufacturing Tools/Fixtures for Shop Order Execution

We are beginning an implementation ( Cloud 24R1 ) on our manufacturing facilities and struggling to identify the best ways to:track where in the facility a manufacturing tool/instance is located send a signal that a tool is needed and should be brought to a work center along with other shop order operation materialsThese are not small items that can be stored at a work center. It’s typical to have one fixture that occupies a pallet, and for multiple instances of that fixture to be required on a single operation.We are experimenting with connecting a tool to an object which ties to an inventory part. That allows us to store and move it. But how to get it delivered? If we add it to the product structure, we would set it as not consumed - this makes the material line non-reservable and it will not show up for pick lists.How are others handling this type of issue?

Disassembly Shop Order Scrap Factor

Dear community,When you create a disassembly shop order, we can see the supply quantity based on the scrap factor when when you try to receive it, the system populates the Remaining quantity to receive. Shop Order does not even close the shop order if you only receive the the supply quantity (highlighted below) and and it wait to auto close until remaining quantity is received. Is this scrap factory only used for a planning purpose? Is there a way to get the supply qty as the default qty to be received and auto close the shop order once received that quantity?

Purchase Order Cost - Charges and Additional Cost

Hello community,In the cost set 5, i am calculating the cost for a purchased material and copying the cost to cost set 1. Everything looks perfect here. When i do a receipt of the same part, the cost detail is not split by the cost buckets properly. it is only picking the first line from P-140 cost template. For testing purposes, i deleted the cost bucket 140 from P-140 cost template. Then the cost was created with next cost bucket in the template which is 160. Anyone knows how to split the cost properly for inventory transaction receipt?Thanks Furkan

CRO - Repair Shop Order Project Connection

If a repair shop order is created from component repair order is there any way in IFS to attach the shop order material to project inventory supply type? After that we want PMRP job to create demand for those materials. IFS does not seem to have anyway to convert consumed materials to Project Inventory.

Time Clock is showing wrong time

We have about 20 timeclocks and they all appear to have the same time which is about 3 minutes behind the correct time.  The servers all show the correct time and the desktops running them all have the correct time so is there somewhere in IFS to adjust the timeclock time?

Is there a way to configure IFS to only Issue or Backflush from a specific location for shop orders?

Hello team, I looking to see if there is a way we can configure IFS only issue/backflush material that is in the Work Center’s Inbound location for a shop order? I’ve tried updating the the Work Center Outside Reserve/Backflush to Not Allowed (this option will not allow shop order reservations until they are moved to Inbound location) and Reserve Only (this option will allow me to reserve from where I would like but does not stop me from issuing material that is not in the inbound locations). Thanks in advance!

Direct Supply for Remanufacturing

Dear community, What is the best way to handle following scenario?You have a manufacturing part A with components B and C as purchase parts. Part A manufactured from a Shop Order and but it was faulty. Rather than scrapping it, we need to take out Part B out and Remanufacture Part A using that disassembled Part B and issuing Part C again from stock.I created Manufacturing structure for Part A,Created a Disassembly Structure for Part A and part B as the produced partThen Created Remanufacturing Structure for Part A However, when I try to set a Direct supply for the Remanufacturing to have a connected disassembly shop order to extract part B, you have to enter Part A and supply type Disassembly in the Remanufacturing Structure/Direct Supply tab but the system does prevents it saying “The direct supply part cannot be the same as the structure header part”.This works perfectly fine if Part B produced from different disassembly part but it seems functionality does not cover the above scenar

Traceability report - Lot/Batch tracking

Hi,Is there any page or report in IFS that shows full traceability for lot/batch-tracked parts?Our top-level part is serial tracked, and all components/subassemblies are lot/batch tracked, including raw materials. Lot/batch tracking is order-based.The main goal is to have something that shows the full path from finished goods (serial tracked) to the raw materials used (lot/batch tracked). Many thanks

Capacity alignment between Work Center and Labor Class

We can define for both Work Centers and Labor Classes whether they are going to use Finite or Infinite Capacity. Is it recommended as best practice that these 2 settings be aligned?If for whatever reason we need to have one value set to Finite Capacity and the other set to Infinite Capacity, which of the two will have precedence.What would the impact of this scenario be if we were to use Capacity Requirements Planning
