MS Project Integration issues

Hello IFS Project specialists,I have a few issue with the MS Project integration, have you come across this please:"Fixed Duration" versus "Fixed Work": Need to check how we can make MSP to inherit the "Fixed Work" instead of "Fixed Duration" on the task lines when importing Project Data from IFS. Tasks in MSP inherit the “Fixed Duration” as the Task Type upon Importing Project from IFS. As a result, values in “Work” and “Duration” columns along with budget figures changes from the values that are in IFS. All tasks inherit “Manually Scheduled” instead of “Auto Scheduled” which again disrupts data in MSP side compared to IFS.Tasks in MSP inherit the “Manually Scheduled” upon Importing Project from IFS. As a result, values in “Work” and “Duration” columns along with budget figures changes from the values that are in IFS. Actual Work in MSP that was brought over from IFS shows actual work hours against future months where they should not have any actual work!ThanksSerge

Project deliverables - Any way to identify parts coming from product structure ?

Hi community, I was wondering if there is any way to identify quickly in the project deliverables (PDL) structure, the parts that could be “copy from product structure” ?Our client will use in the PDL structure parts created specifically for the project and standard parts (using the command copy structure product).  Thanks for your answers, Regards,

Time registration fetching project activities without valid report code

I have some activities, released, within the dates but I have one with valid report codes and another without report code, the system for customer A is fetching all the activities regardless if they have valid report codes or not (off course I am unable to book time on the one that doesn’t have the report code)  I have the same scenario with a diferent enviroment (Customer B) in this case only activities with valid report code are fetched when trying to book time  When booking time, only the activity with the valid report code is available , and the report code is fetched automatically. ( wich is the desired scenario) What could be causing this difference in the behaivours? I have tried changing access to the project, review the company properties, review the report codes etc. Thanks,

Update project deliverable after updating PDM structure (Growing BOM)

I’ve got the following scenario:I created a first version of a BOM in EPDM and imported this via Cadlink in IFS. Result Engineering parts (and structure) are created.I selected the parent part of the BOM to a project deliverable and selected the option copy PDM structure all levels. Result the components of the structure are created as Project Deliverable components.  So far so good.Than the BOM in EPDM is updated (new revisions of components or new components added), via Calink the changes are added to IFS and added to the engineering “structure”.Now i want to update my project deliverable to with the changes made to the parent part and underlaying parts, but with the option Copy PDM structure all levels , the full list of components is added again so of lot of components are double in the project structure.Any ideas?Kind regards,Vincent Heijmer

Offline Modules in IFS10

Hello,Wanted to know if there are any offline modules in IFS. Like we used to have projects using PDA’s.This can be used for users with no-network connectivity. The data gets synced to central server once they have proper network.I guess FSM supports this. Do we have other modules also. Please suggest/Pankaj

Eng part revision - Replace old revision process doesnt work in multiselect

In the Engineering Part Revisions screen, it is allowed to selct multiple lines do the “Replace Old Revision” for multiple parts at once.  The customer selects 2 lines as follows and proceed to check the “Replace Old Revision”. (It is allowed to select multiple lines and RMB)    The “Replace” process starts using the wizard. However, it only completes for one part rather than all selected parts. This is misleading as the customer is given the ability to select multiple parts to be Replaced.

Activity Estimate removed, but still showing in Hours tab

This is in relation to Apps 10.From within the same Project, I copied an activity to create a new activity.  In the Estimate tab, the estimated hours copied over to this new activity.  I deleted this line in the Estimate tab because it wasn’t needed.  However, the estimated hours are still remaining in the Hours tab (below).  I cannot modify this line.  Is there a way, other than going in the backend to remove this?  It seems to be stuck in a loop.  Is this a bug?  Any advice or suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks!

Resource Activity Load vs Resource Activity Load Detail

Hello,I’m using the old-school resource allocation in Projects.  I’ve got my resource assigned and was checking some data, particularly the Resource Analysis and Resource Activity Load Detail.  The graph nor the detail show any results.  But if I look at the Resource Activity Load, I see what I was looking for.Any ideas whey I would see numbers in one screen vs another?  Maybe it’s tied to the fact that my Resource Analysis doesn’t show any data in the Graph?Thank you.PatrickPS:  If anyone wants to point me toward help documentation or training material in this section, I’m all ears and eyes.

Creating Contract Change Order from Sales Contract doesn't get Project ID

We are seeing a problem where creating Contract Change Orders from a Sales Order is not populating the Project ID on the CCO, which means that the Forecast option isn’t available automatically.  The workaround is to go to every CCO after creation and manually set the Project ID in the details, which obviously can lead to choosing the wrong project.We generate a lot of CCOs so this workaround is painful for our admins… is there something we need to adjust or do differently?In out production environment 22R1.8 the value passes in automatically but in validating Update 22R2.9 (from 22R1.8) we are seeing this problem.Any ideas if this is intentional and maybe something needs to be adjusted at the Project or Sales Contract level?  Or are we maybe seeing a bug?Thanks,Nick
