Unfinished Activity Work

Hi all,What causes work to be placed into the unfinished activity work screen?I have checked status and it doesn’t seem related to the status of the project - as new projects in ‘Started’ status don’t appear on the list. Is it related to dates? For example, after a certain activity date any unfinished activity work is placed onto this list. I have checked online documentation but cannot find any info.Thanks,R

Project Spread Profile

Hi, I’m trying to allow my customer to spread some cost/revenues between January 1st and December 31th for each project forecast they create, with Amount/12 for each month.Problem is, whenever I use the linear distribution or a specificly created profile with 12 intervals, I always get a non-linear distribution with small gaps between different months. I thought at first that it was linked to the project calendar (No of work days) or to the number of days during each month, but it appears it isn’t the case when I calculate these results manually.System designed Linear ProfileLinear Profile I designed myselfResult 1Result 2Is there any chance you can explain to me how to get the expected result without customization ? (Of course without manual spread ?) Thank you,Best regards,Vincent Malet

Project Forecasting - Estimates to Complete

Like a lot of you we are using IFS for managing and maintaining the delivery of our Projects. In IFS we build up the project cost using hours (x number of hours at a set grade = cost to the business) however when we come to do the forecast, either updating the ETC/EAC on the activity line or on a project forecast, the system asks for a monetary value.So, if you’ve got a 200 hour activity made up of 3 different grades and you’ve booked 80 hours in total (a mix of the 3 grades), how do you calculate what the cost to complete is (without using a separate spreadsheet to do the calculations) ?Simple if everything is on track, baseline cost minus actual cost equals cost to complete.Not so simple when you’re are going to need more hours than planned to complete the activity. Currently the only solution I can see is to do the calculations separately to IFS and then input the values into the ETC field, this isn’t an ideal solution and does defeat some of the benefits of having an integrated sol

PMRP - questions/issues

Hi,I have some questions / issues regarding PMRP. I hope someone could comment it or give me advice.Or maybe also someone from IFS could determine if these are bugs and should be fixed.Customer has reported recently negative projected quantity in Inventory Part Availability Planning after PMRP run.After further analysis we have found, that it was due to shop order receipt during PMRP execution.Below is the screenshot from TEST after recreaction of such situation. As you can see below in Pmrp_Plan_Snapshot_Api there are snapshots created one by oneAnd when you receive shop order during Snapshot_Shop_Order__ and before Snapshot_Inventory__ it will lead to situation when quantities from shop_orders are not match to inventory ones.Due to heavy data volume, snapshot of shop orders takes approx. 10 minutes. So there is a big chance, that someone will receive shop orders during that time. Customer company is working 24hr/day, 7 day a week. PMRP is being executed daily, usually at evening, but

Projectd Deliverables - Direct Delivery

For project deliverables when some equipment is purchased (externally or internally), we have not found any possibility to have a supply option where the supplier ships the goods directly to the customer.Currently we use Customer Order for these scenarios, but that is not optimal in combination with projects.Any ideas on alternative solutions or development done in Project Deliverables?

Connection between planning resources in maintenance module and project module App10 upd 11

We are using both the maintenance module and the project module for planning resources (hours, not cost) in our company. Due to how our company is organized, we prefer to group planning hours by organization code, and not by resource group.We connect work tasks to some projects, and group all planning hours by organization code added to that specific work task.Some hours are planned directly on activities in the project module by resource group, but we are not able to find the organization code those hours are connected to in the activity section. Does anyone know if there is a solution for this issue?

Is it possible to copy access definition/project access when copying either a project or a sub-project?

We are in the process of setting up a project template (with standard WBS, report codes, etc.). When copying a project/sub-project (within the same company), users are able to carry over a lot of relevant information (at either project level or activity level). However, there is no way to carry over information from access definition (where you grant a project team access to a project/sub-project). Is there a way to copy information from access definition when copying a project or a sub-project? If not, any idea if it is planned in future releases? Notes:Projects/Sub-projects are within the same company The teams having access to the projects are discipline related (e.g. project management, engineering, workshop, installation etc.). Some have access to the whole project while others only have access to specific sub-projects.

App9 Update Project Transactions: Resource ID

Hi,In IFS Application 9, is there a way to update all project transactions where the Resource ID is missing? We tried “Refresh Project Connections” but this didn’t update the missing information.(It is about employees not connected to a resource group at the time the project transactions was created. This means the hours don’t have a price).Best regards Anita

How to monitor costs of specific materials in project management?

I want to monitor various costs derived from postings of transactions (purchase order, shop order etc.) for a specific material in a specific project. This material is defined in project product items as well.I considered creating a specific activity in WBS for this purpose, and I suppose I need to use code part values and cost elements in this process, so tried to match a cost element (materials in this case) with a relevant code part (MaterialG) using PCE Code Part tab, but I cannot figure out how to assign the code part value to material so that it can derive the cost.I maybe going in a very wrong way, and appreciate any ideas.

Project - Revenue recognition Cap exp/rev, using income first

I believe this is a rather simple question.We create a project with a project type Capitalze Rev/Exp. Revenue recognition method = POC Income first. We enter a cost for 45k so we have an actual cost in the project.We ran the capitalization and revenue recognition for the project. THe problem is that ther revenu is the same as the cost. I was expecting to enter a margin somewhere. The help say “POC income first”. I don’t see where do i enter my POC and even if I say that POC is 50%, what will the system will calculate in term of profit?Thanks
