Alternate part planning

Hi all,I am looking to implement the following sequence in IFS App10 :starting point : A is a purchased inventory part, appearing as a component in multiple finished and/or semi-finished products ; Planning method is set to either A or G, meaning part is handled on a purchase-to-order basis, and there are no parts in inventory ahead of time. step 1 : setup B as an alternate part for part A at master level (B is also a purchased inventory part) : this, I know how to do (side note : B is effectively an alternate purchase structure relative to A : A and B have the same drawing number, A has an empty Purchase structure, B has raw material included in its Purchase structure) step 2 : receive / register PO from customer, launch / release corresponding DOP order, end up with a shop order that has A as a component (all this is fine as well) step 3 (this is where I need help) : based on internal factors, we might decide we want to buy part B instead of part A for this particular shop order / re

Hyperlink in Document Revision

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?

Raw Material planning - Silo consumption

The Shop Orders at our customers often have a long through put time while the raw materials are located in silos with a limited capacity.In IFSCloud the MRP proposals for the total component quantity of the shop order are placed on the start date of the order.Is there a technique in IFS to spread the supply/ receipts proportionally to the demand consumption over the lead time of the shop orders so that the silos are regularly refilled with a smaller chance of overflow?

Shop Floor Reporting (SFWB) Split time charging between multiple Ops on different SOs

We are building different part #s (so they are on different SOs) to the same build process so we want to be able to charge time and execute the operations of the individual SOs at the same time. How would an employee be able to charge time between 2-5 SOs, where it either evenly splits between the operations, or splits based on lot sizes?

Transaction Processing Date Change

Hi CommunityRegarding the change of transaction processing date, the issue arises where the price recorded in the journal entries for manufacturing withdrawals and finished goods receipts does not correspond to the valid standard cost at the time of recording.Although it was previously mentioned that this issue could be addressed as a standard service request, it was found that even if the recording date is corrected, the cost is not updated, rendering it unusable. Please refer to the attachment for detailed information.How was the issue of the system's inability to provide specified date costs (historical costs) resolved after "Modify Date Applied" was performed in Inventory Transactions History?Thanks & Best RegardsKomine

Create shop order from business opportunity or sales quote

Our company does creates manual shop orders for the pre-assembly of equipment based on forecasted need. Business opportunities and sales quotes are used to anticipate future need. My question is, is there a way to peg  a shop order to a business opportunity or sales quote for pre-assembly purposes, since there is no customer order created yet.

Uploading consolidated forecast and show the demand for raw materials and component parts

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

Control Plan Settings Serialized Parts

Hello, I’m in IFS Cloud 23R1. I have a scenario where I am raising a Shop Order for 10 parts. The parts are serialized and are manufactured sequentially throughout the day. I would like to ensure an analysis result is recorded for each serial number before it can be receipted into inventory. However I also need to be able to receipt the parts in individually through the day as they are manufactured. I set “Analysis Required for Receipt” to yes, but then if I set Inspection Code to:100% Inspection - I can’t receipt them in individually as I can’t confirm the analysis result individually. Sample size =1 I can receipt in any of the parts as long as I have 1 analysis result registered.I wondered if I could use the “Mandatory Create Shop Order Analysis Result” in the Quality options settings, but can’t seem to get the behavior I need. Is there a standard combination of settings I can use to achieve my requirement?

Clarification on "Modify Date Applied" Feature in Inventory Transactions History Screen

Hi Community,We are seeking your insight to address the following questions raised by one of our IFS customers regarding the "Modify Date Applied" feature available within the 'Inventory Transactions History Screen'.Could you please explain the design concept behind "Modify Date Applied" feature? Since the purpose of ‘Modify Date Applied’ is to move transactions from one financial period to another without changing the values in the postings, what is the significance behind changing the financial period?Following is the customer’s business requirement:Customer has a different effective cost in March compared to that of April. For a specific transaction registered in the system in April, customer expects to view the cost values in the postings in ‘Inventory Transactions History Screen’ in corresponding to March accounting period. Does IFS have this functionality?Thank you,Manthila Perera

Sequencing Multiple Operations in Visual Operations Planning

23.2.4In Visual Shop Order Operations Planning, I am trying to sequence operations with characteristics in a Work Center in the Machine Operations Scheduling Gantt.The documentation reads as:To sequence all operations for a resource or work center loaded in the Gantt chart, open the card for the resource or day and click Sequence. To sequence all operations for a resource or work center on one or several days, select the relevant day(s) for the resource and click Sequence. To sequence specific operations, select the relevant operations and click Sequence.For #2, how can a user select the days in the Gantt, where should a user click for this?For #3, when I select one operation in the Gantt the Sequence command is available, but when I select multiple operations the Sequence command is not available.

Lobby Element Bar Chart Order

Hi!We have problem to get a proper sorting (order by) on the X-axis in Lobby element Bar Chart.In our case we transform a date value to the string for start of the week, using to_char(TRUNC(&AO.Shipment_API.Get_Actual_Ship_Date(shipment_id),'D'),'MM/DD/YYYY') , for example 05/28/2023, 05/15/2023 etc.We are using above string format to get the order for the data.  I have also tried using year + week number and truncated date.  When I get to the lobby element I check the data source to use the data source order, but it keeps ordering by the y-axis amount.  I am doing a horizontal bar chart and get least to most from the Y-axis.  Bar ChartSo then my dates are in the X-axis are in the wrong order….??I saw there was a question exactly like this one from 3 years ago, but it did not have a solution.  It was closed so couldn’t reply there.  It looks like others are having this same problem.  Is there anyone who knows a solution for this, or is this some kind of limitation in the Bar Chart?
