Hi All, I’ve an issue that I’m not able to understand: i systematically have a gap between the part unit cost and the panned cost on a project. The cost of raw materials (prod structure) is missing In this example we can constat the issue between a customer order and a project: But i have the same problem withshop orders and misc demands, Does anyone has an idea about this issue? Thanks in advance :) Antoine

Hi everyone, I've noticed that the cost element in the item request lines in the project materials and Services doesn't go up automatically for items with a price of 0 in Supplier for purchase part. In this first example, i’ve setup a price 1£ in the supplier for purchase part for the part H000001 with the supplier 1120031. Then, i add a new lines in the Project materials and Services and when i ask the cost element in the lines, it’s coming up automatically. In this second example, i’ve setup a price 0£ in the supplier for purchase part for the part H000001 with the supplier 1000055. Then, i add a new lines in the Project materials and Services and when i ask the cost element in the lines, it’s don’t coming up automatically. So my question is whether it's possible to automatically raise the cost element on the line with a price of 0 in supplier for purchase part. If it is possible, can you tell me what to do?Thank you very much.

Hello, I have a question about the project baseline history. My client has this view in the 7.5 version where he can find all the baseline definition versions In the cloud version the only log type i see is the pre-baseline. Is there any setup i am missing ? Best regards

Hi does anyone know? I tried to cancel a supply request, but it said I cannot do that because I have a shop order connected to it. Then I tried to close the SO, and try again, it has the same error message. Does anyone know how I can cancel the supply request after a SO is created? I tried close the SO, but it still does not allow me to cancel the supply. then my question is how can I create another new SO in another site to cover this Supply request? Pls advise. Pls see the attached.

Hi Community, When working on a project, is it possible to reserve materials from standard inventory and completely bypass using project inventory? My objective is to use a project-connected shop order and source the sub-components directly from the standard inventory. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Community, In IFS V10, how can I close a WBS project connected with a sales contract with an unpaid customer invoice? For capitalization, I must close project after invoicing (and not after customer payement). Thanks for your help

When we partially invoice the sub-contract valuations in MSI window, it is allowed us to invoice more than the certified amount of the sub-con valuation. And even though we exceed the certified amount and invoiced, the invoicing status is shown as “Partially Invoiced”. As per the IFS, this is their standard solution, but i strongly disagree with them for this statement. Seems like they have not captured this particular scenario in the development. Any one have any idea about this?

Hello All, I’m working with a Customer on the following: Planned Netting Groups have been set up and they run Project MRP. Both project require the same part number, which results in a single Purchase Requisition being created for the part. (This is great!) A Material Transfer Request is also created to transfer the required quantity to the other project. This is shown in Inv Part Availability Planning window. (This is also great!) The downside is that ALL of the Inventory Cost is shown on the single project for “Planned Committed Cost” See screenshot: And none of Inventory Cost is shown on the other project in the Planned Committed Cost. See screenshot: BUT IPAP Window shows the MTR request. Why doesn’t it transfer the cost to the Planned Committed Cost field to the correct project? Thank you, Alex

Hi All, Greetings. Project Connected Work Orders will be used. I want to know whether standard application (Apps 10 UPD 15) supports project budget control on Work Order Transaction like Time reporting cost and material issues based on Project budget defined on Cost/Revenue Elements. I have tested the scenario, planned cost does not get loaded on the project activity and once the GL is updated the cost gets updated as Used cost directly once work task transactions are authorized and transferred. The requirement is to control the cost at Time Reporting stage initially without configuration/modification. In below screenshot budget for internal labour cost element (3000) is 5000, where as application allows excessive time reporting of value 11380. Note: Project Time reporting functionality is not required. Below is F1 Documentation which says planned cost will not be updated onto project but will be held by work order only. Planned Committed stage, only hours will be updated on project ac

When releasing a connected PO on a Project, a committed cost is shown as PO value but no Object Progress (It is 0%). However, Actual Start Date of the activity is fetched automatically when PO is released. Is that possible? Or is there a way to stop setting Actual Start date automatically when PO is released?

Both the Planning and Employee Allocation tabs of Activity Resource Planning have a field labelled Report Code. It is not insertable or updateable on either of these tabs and always has the value of %. While training, I could not explain to our customer what it it is used for in this context or why it is there. There is no field description that might help. The page help is useless. Miight there be someone who has an answer for this? Thank you. Patrick PS: No need to explaing to me what a Report Code is, that’s basic and well understood.

In Apps 9, and Apps 10 we used to have good field level help for the many fields that are used on the Project Peformance Analysis. It gave the formulas for values like BAWC and the SPI and CPI values (among many others). Those prized bits of information are not in any of the newer versions, as far as I can tell. I remember material that I wish I’d saved that had a graph of the project costs versus time and it illustrate how the schedule vairance and cost variance cause the IEAC to change. I’m hoping that someone may have some of this old material and can forward it to me or add it to this topic. Thank you. Patrick

I’m struggling with getting the Resource Analysis screen to behave. This is the analysis of my person group. The capacity starts today, which is the day I’ve run the Refresh Snapshot. (See attachment named Resource Analysis for a Person Group Resource.png. If I look at the Resource Analysis for the individual who is assigned to the Project Manager person group, I get the expected result. (See attachment named Resource Analysis for a Person Resource.png) I have the Resource Analysis Demand Snapshot set to a -30 day start offset and the Resource Schedules and Capacity set to a -100 day start offset. Automatic Calculation is ON. Might anyone have a clue as to why the snapshot for the person group is different than the snapshot for a person?

We need to get the long lead time no part materials ordered that are attached to the WO on a project activity. Our labor resources are also attached to the same activity and WO. If the activity starts a year early because of the PO release, then the labor resources will get spread out over a longer period that isn’t representative of the actual labor resource consumption. On the scheduling side of things, we have a lot of our activities linked to each other so the activity releasing early because of the PO can have an impact on scheduling as well. However, when releasing the PO, activity does get started automatically. Is there a way to stop this happening?

Hello everyone, I've come across the 'Propose Project Transaction' checkbox when creating a project. Could someone explain the functionality and typical usage of this feature within IFS? Thanks and Regards, Navoda

May I know IFS considered ISO31000 guide lines for Risk Management configuration for cloud version Thanks

Creating a project from a template. In the project definition I find the created project I'm going to the design view in the Gantt chart I click "Expand". The project has been developing for a very long time. Is it possible to shorten this process?

Is it possible to define, by configuration, the early start in an Activity Project? When you create a new Activity in a Project, this field is filled with sysdate automatically. My customer wants that this field is filled in with the project planned start and not with sysdate. Thank you in advance. Best regards Sergio.

Hello, I am implementing the setup of Resources for my customer on IFS Cloud 23R2. However I can’t manage to add a line in the SITE SETTINGS tab of the MAINTENANCE/SERVICE tab of a person resource : Ifs won’t let me save the line even if I fill in all the mandatory or not mandatory fields. By enabling the log, I get the folowing error : DEBUG - Empty required attributes: ResourceConnectionSeq The issue is this field is not displayed in IFS in standard, and even if I add It with Page designer, I do not know what to put in it. ==> Has anyone encountered the same issue and managed to find a solution ? Thank you, Pierre

Hi Community, For our customer, we are using Project deliverables (PDL) module to support their activities of design/industrialization and shipment of robotic lines.Our client sells this as a service via a sales contract in IFS connected to a WBS project.The PDL and project modules are used to centralize all the costs required to fulfill the customer’s order. The entire design phase is transcribed into PDL as a multi-level bill of materials (BOM) with all the parts required.Once procurement/manufacturing has been completed, the items must be shipped to the customer.As the BOM may contain many items to be shipped, in PDL we faced several problems : - We add a BPA to create in mass all the planning lines type = shipment to have all the shipment lines/plans.- We then use a shipment to support the creation of shipment lines. According to the standard, the lines are created on the most recently created shipment. Question 1 : do you have an idea of how we can be able to select the Shipment N

Hello, Sometimes our project engineers need to make some changes on started project delivables. For example; project started and customer wanting to remove one material. The material is under a manufactued(shop order) part. Engineer is picking part from project deliverables tree and move it to which is non-materail named spare_part object. At that point project deliverables and shop order is coming different stuation. Moved part is already in shop order materails. We tried Calculate Gross Requirements function but shop order is not updating. Are there any way to update shop order as project deliverables in standard from screens? Or should we add a development in Delivery_Structure_API.Move_Item. We are using IFS10 update 10.

I have a situation where I have purchased assemblies that contain sub-components which require individual serial number and/or IUID traceability. Is there a way to define a BOM/product structure for purchased parts so that I can capture individual sub-component serial/IUID data for each serialized assembly at receiving?

Hi All, When Time Registration is performed in the Projects module for a Contractor, an additional level of detail is revealed where a mandatory PO and PO Line have to be selected. However, when recording time on a Work Task, the selection of a PO and PO Line is not required and no PO connection is required. My indicator for specifying a Resource as a Contractor for Work Task purposes is when the Site Settings on the Maintenance/Service tab for the Resource has a Supplier ID specified. Was there a good reason why the PO and PO Line is not required when registering time for a Contractor on a Work Task ?

Hi, We have set the below company properties to restrict employees editing their project time reporting after time card is authorized. In this example, particular Cost Accounting box in Project Transactions is set to ‘Approved’ automatically for particular employee since his time card on 19.01.2023 is authorized. However, employee is not allowed to edit time reporting (hours), but he is able to change the project ID, activity or report code on particular date even though his time card is authorized. How can we restrict this? Is there a setup or control? Please advise. Thank you and Best Regards Nimesh
