Definition of 'Project MRP' (pMRP)

Hi, The business I'm employed by is considering the purchase of Project MRP (or pMRP) to compliment our existing packages (IFS Apps 10 and APB).   However, it's not entirely clear what additional features pMRP provides (and the problems this tackles that the 'stock' planning tools can't).   Can you please outline its key contributions to production planning or at least some information with respect to it. I can't find any detailed resources online for reference.   Many thanks, Jay

Downtime Cause not entered for Clocking

As of 22R2, a Downtime clocking can be started without providing a Downtime Cause.At what point in the production clocking/reporting process is it required to have a value in the Downtime Cause field, e.g., a value must be entered before ‘X’ occurs or before ‘X’ can happen. What is ‘X’?This field cannot remain blank forever, or can it?

Cloud Functional Object

We are trying to make our Functional Object ID (aka mch_code) be an auto incremented field.  Does anyone know how to do this or if it is at all possible?  Maybe with control - datasource or something in Page Designer?  I am not having much luck looking for help or examples in existing posts.

Customer owned stock used in production

Hi,we have quite recently implemented IFS Cloud and have this issue. Customers deliver to us certain components for production of their devices free of charge. We need to register them and move around the company (stock, shop floor...). We planned to book them in as customer owned stock but it seems this option is totally not suitable for it. We don't see that stock as available and can't reserve and use it in production. Also purchasing is damaged, MRP doesn't calculate with this quantity. What is the purpose of this functionality? It is useless. We have to book it with 0.01 Eur value as owned by company which is not true. Wouldn't it be more correct if we can do all operations with it?Thanks

Labour Cost ERROR !

Hi Community. we have only a few employees unable to clock onto shop order operations due to the error message below about being unable to get costs from the labour class.the operators are in the correct labour classes and are active shopfloor employees connected to the correct site.we have recently created new manufacturing labour classes and update the labour costs and the issue has only happened since then. Other employees are able to clock onto the operation without any problems.Any ideas what could be causing this for a certain few employees? regards Jamie

IFS Cloud Emission s Tracker

Hi all,From where I can download the “IFS Cloud Emissions Tracker” app. I downloaded “IFS sustainability planner” from MS store. But, it is different from “IFS Cloud Emissions Tracker”. Further, I have seen another app called “IFS Cloud Sustainability Hub”. Is that also a different app? Is there anyone who knows how to use all these aps?

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

Object connection transformations not working for configured work guidelines

DocReferenceObject Object connection transformations are not working for routing operation work guidelines to shop order operation work guidelines when the routing work guidelines have configuration work guideline rules.If the shop order is manually updated using the Configuration>Updated Materials and Operations action from the RMB context menu of the shop orders screen, then the transformation will work, and display the documents as expected. This Object transformation works fine when no configuration rules exist on the routing operation work guidelines.

Auto Report Operations - Over Reporting Functionality

Hi All, I’ve come across some unexpected behaviour when I over report on a shop order. I’m on Cloud R23R1. In my scenario, I do not know the exact qty for the shop order,  so I capacity plan using a best estimate. If production goes well, there is a possibility I may need to over-report. I am receiving in the finished product 1 at a time and backflushing the material & auto reporting the operations. The material side works well, as I’ve ticked the “issue overreported Qty” on the components. On the operations, Over Reporting is set to “Allowed”. On the site settings I have Auto Close Shop Orders set to off. However if I have a Shop order for 10, as soon as I receive in the 10th part,  while the Shop Order stays open, the operations on the Shop Order get automatically closed. When I receive in the 11th Part, the part is received & the additional material is issued, but no operation reports/transactions are created. There’s no warning message when I click receive and select auto r

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.

Many Lots per Production Order

Hello everybody,I would like to know if there is a way to automatically generate several Lot Batch No. (one Lot Batch No. per position) when creating a Shop Order. The article is set to Many Lots per Production Order. But a Lot Batch No. is only created automatically if "One Lot per Production Order" is set in the article.  -->Then it is only one, and we would really need a separate Lot Batch No. for each article of the Shop Order.   Hope somebody can help me. Thank you!

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?
