Hello All, I am new to custom events in IFS and we have few custom events that run when triggered, but I cannot verify at my end if they ran successfully or not. Is there a log or historical data or a tablewhich I can view to see when the events were triggered and if they ran successfully. Suggestions are appreciated.

Project-Connected Shop Order and Planned Costs

It has been some time since I worked with project-connected shop orders, and I am not seeing what I think was always standard behavior.Cloud 22.2.1I created a shop order manually for part M1. This shop order did not originate as miscellaneous demand on a project activity.This shop order has one component and this component is not standard planned.Part M1 has costs in cost set 1 and is Weighted Average / Cost per Lot/Batch.I connected the shop order to a released project activity and the Planned Cost Driver is Connected Objects.I do not see any costs in the Planned Cost column.What setup might I be missing?

Project Inventory Not Available to Reserve to Work Order

Hello,We are using Apps 10, UPD9. We need to reserve project inventory to work tasks on our outages. We moved standard inventory into project inventory to keep the inventory reserved to the engagement. When we attempt to reserve the project inventory to the work order, it will not let us reserve this. It is causing us to have a halt in our repairs by not being able to reserve. We have set the material lines as project inventory, we can see the qty on hand in the project, but when we try to RMB reserve inventory that option is greyed out for us. We currently have a work around to move it to std inventory to reserve while the work order is connected to a project. But this is VERY painful.Does anyone know if there is a step we might be missing? This print screen shows the work order connection to the activity The Work Task set to ReleasedRMB > Reserve but an Information Message is displayed After getting that message, the items can be reserved manually. What is preventing the RMB

Running PMRP without creating MTR

Hi All,I would like to ask if it is possible to - Run PMRP to create only purchase requisitions on the activities without creating Material Transfer requests between the activities if already items are available in the Project inventory. for e.g. Activity A has the requirement of Part ABC for X Qty Activity B already has Part ABC for Y Qty where X>=Y, but there is no current requirement of the part ABC.in the above scenario, if I Run PMRP then in place of creating PR on Activity A, PMRP will create MTR between Activities between B and A. but the user doesn’t want that. So is there any set-up that I can stop triggering MTR and only create fresh purchase requisition for Activity A while there is already the Same Part qty existing on Activity B?Kind regards,

Project Deliverables - Creating a Serial Object from PMRP supplied MFG part

Hi IFS Community,does anyone know how to correctly create Serial Object from manufactured part, which is supplied by PMRP?IFS Corporation states in the official help page, that Tags are automatically created when material received, if the the part is enabled for Serial Tracking (please read the help page topic "Assign Tag Numbers on Items"), but even if you Complete the Item, nothing happen in this case.So, in this case, I am forced to go either to the Shop Order, which was generated by the PMRP algorithm, or straight to the Shipment, where proceed items/parts were reserved and issued, to find their serial number. (Why can not the IFSAPP10 offer these "shipped" serial numbers in the Tags tab definition?)Another thing is that the IFSAPP10 in this case does not even allow me to define ONLY serial numbers, it requires ALSO definition of Tag No. This fact leads to the top item being defined as a Functional Object (not a Serial Object), in Equipment window.Is there any step in the procedure

Resource Forecast: Snapshots - ETC / EAC Recalculated Pros / Cons

Hello,We are project-based organisation with many projects running concurrently and with a strict monthly reporting cycle. Each project is enforced to create monthly resource and financial forecasts.We’ve been having some issues recently with resource forecasts generating negative ETC costs which then disrupt financial forecasts, see this thread. We have been investigating further in test environments and noticed that our issues disappear when we use “EAC Recalculated” in the snapshot matching field when generating a resource forecast, rather than using “ETC recalculated”. When we went live, we were instructed to use “ETC recalculated”.Unfortunately, the help panel in IFS doesn’t include any information on the difference between these two calculation methods when selecting this field. With a PM hat on, EAC recalculated makes the most logical sense as we want Committed and Used hours to be driven by timesheet & shop order data, and ETC hours be driven my monthly manual intervention

Project dependencies and constraint

Community,wondering whether IFS projects really has the restriction to the dependencies and constraint that you scheduled, or this is just for planning purpose, will not do any control on the activity behavior?for example, activity 1 and activity 2, i set the dependency between these 2 activities is Finish to Start. Does the system really will stop me if I start working on activity 2 (Release, create order, purchase receipt and etc..) before closing the activity 1?same question to constraint. if the activity is set to Start Not Earlier Than….., does the system really will control user’s activity to the project activity not starting the activity until the date we assigned?Thank you.

Resource Forecast - ETC Hours, ETC Cost & Cost Elements

Hi,We’ve been using IFS for a year or so but repetitively see an issue with negative ETC costs generated on resource forecasts that then feed into project financial forecasts, and cause cascading issues.Working example below:I have done a little digging but still confused as we were never educated on some of the underlying calculations that occur. In the example: PM has defined 0 ETC hours to complete on this activity. ETC cost is pulling through a large negative cost. Drilling down it appears to be an issue with Cost Elements whereby negative User Hours are posted into ETC leading to the negative ETC cost. Why do ETC hours in cost elements display differently to the main resource forecast screen? Unsure what “cost elements” are within IFS and ultimately how they are controlled and who typically within an organisation controls them. Can anyone please help shed light on this?ThanksIan
