Labor Load Details

If the operation has Labor Setup Time and/or Labor Run Time and a Crew Size > 0 it should generate record(s) in Labor Load Details. Not sure what could be missing then.

@zwall The first check would be to make sure that you run CRP with Include CRP for Labor enabled.

Shop Floor Workbench usability issues causes efficiency problems due to large volume of orders

@matt.watters Yes, our plan is to change so that the navigation commands available from Shop Floor Workbench open the page in a new tab. However, it requires additional framework support to be able to bulknavigate (selecting more than one record to navigate). We're working with framework to add support for this, and then we can proceed.

Adjusting Shop Orders for Learning Curve times

using Operation Efficiency would be the right way to handle this, however there’s no automatic adjustment of this value in the standard application. Would be interesting to hear if such has been introduced in any customer solution. Maybe you can request support for this by creating an Idea on the community?

Shop order component need date

@Dsquared As suggested by Matt, the Safety Lead Time is a good idea to create a buffer between when the purchased parts as planned to be received to stock, and when they are required on the shop order.Another option might be to set a Queue Time on the work center of the first operation. This will give an earlier start date of the shop order creating a buffer between the shop order start date and the actual start date of the first operation on the order.

How the shop order can be closed, When there is enough quantity in stock.

When you automatically issue a material (automatic is essentially the same as a backflush) which negative on hand allowed it will issue the required quantity and create a negative stock if the required quantity is not available.You have an option when performing an automatic issue whether you want to issue only the reserved quantity, or also non reserved quantity. if you only want to automatic issue the reserved quantity you can also set the Reserve/Issue Method = Reserve.

Shop Order Replication

This controls in which scenarios a change of the date or quantity on a shop order should be replicated to the DOP order or customer order which to it is pegged.So if you have enabled Qty Decrease for Customer Order Demand, and you reduce the lot size of a shop order, or say scrap more than planned, such decrease of the shop order quantity would be replicated to the customer order when pegged to such.DOP Order Demand would refer to changes of the quantity and date of the shop order itself, while the DOP Order Supply would refer to changes of the quantity and date of a DOP supplied shop order material line.

Change default option on drop down list.

@mgha I believe this can be solved by configuring the Stop Reason drop-down to “Default to Previous” value. This can be done using the page designer. Then the client will remember that you previously selected value Interrupted and then propose this value as the default next time. In order to access the page designer for the Stop Production dialog, you must manually type the URL to this client directly (...main/ifsapplications/web/assistant/StopClockingsAssistant/StopClockingsAssistant) However I noticed I had to make the Interruption Cause field visible and editable at all times to get this to work properly. Then I could also set the Interruption Cause to default to the previous value

Auto Report Operations - Over Reporting Functionality

In 23R2 you must remember to disable the Close Operation toggle when reporting on an operation which has already met its planned quantity However, I’m happy to inform you that in 24R1 release a new setting on the Work Center has been introduced called Auto Close Operations. If this is cleared, the operation will stay open until you actively closes it.

The only way I can think of is if the part is setup with:Many Lots per Production Order Multilevel tracking = disabled Lot/Batch tracking = Order Basedthen a lot/batch number will be automatically created for each receipt that is made from the shop order. The lot/batch numbers will be generated based on the shop order number.

Shop Floor Reporting (SFWB) Split time charging between multiple Ops on different SOs

@SydneyFreking When an employee is clocking time on more than one operation simultaneously, his/hers the time is automatically split between the operations. in short the time can be split in two ways:By splitting the Crew Size. Say an employee worked from 10:00 to 12:00 on operation A and operation B, then each operation received 2 hours of duration, but the crew size will be 0.5 on each operation (or can be 0.6 / 0.4 etc as well, it depends on the planned crew size. The cost booked for each operation will be the duration multiplied with the crew size. This option assumes the employee actually worked on these operations at the same time. By Splitting the Duration: If the employee worked on both Operation A and B from 10:00 to 12:00, the Duration will be calculated to 1h per operation and crew size is 1 for each operation. (or actually the duration may be calculated to 1.2h for operation A and 0.8 for operation B, it depends on the planned hours)Details can be found in the about Shop Fl

Start Operation Block using Timeclock

It is not possible to start an operation block from Time Clock. You must start the operations connected to the operation block one-by-one.If you instead use Shop Floor Workbench, you can scan/enter the barcode of the Operation Block ID which will populate all the operations connected to the operation block. Then you can select them all start start/stop them simultaneously.

IFS Cloud - remove unused WC from Gantt-Chart

If load exists on any of the resources on a work center, I believe all resources on that work center are displayed in the Gantt. It’s mostly a good idea since you want to be able to reschedule an operation from one to another resource. But in your case when one of the resources are no longer in use I understand it is a bit inconvenient.

IFS Cloud - remove unused WC from Gantt-Chart

Even if the work center has been set to Hidden or Blocked it can still have operations scheduled on it. I think the Gantt will load the work center resources which have planned load (operations), so please check whether you still have some open operations scheduled on these work centers and see if they can be closed. Then they should hopefully disappears from the Gantt.

By-Product Lot/Batch No

It’s possible to generate the lot/batch number of the shop order itself from the lot/batch number issued of a specified component. This is done my enabling the Lot/Batch Origin from the desired component line.Then the by-product lot/batch no is of course also generated from this component lot/batch no as it is generated from the shop order lot/batch. But yes, with this setup the lot/batch no of the shop order will also have the lot/batch no from the component. Not just the by-product.

Scrap on multiple Operations ?

@spemichwenn There’s not way to automatically have component scrap distributed among several material lines (connected to different operations).However, if the end goal is to issue correct quantity of the material for each operation, would it rather be an option to instead issue the total quantity actually consumed by the operations of the material and have that total issued quantity distributed to the material lines linked to the operation? If that is the case the Manual Issue Operation Material functionality can be used.In below example I have the same material (PTS) linked to operation 10 on two separate operations. I have selected both operations from shop floor workbench and opened the manual issue operation material dialog. The first operation requires a quantity of 5 of the material and the other operation 10. I.e., a total of 15 is required. However, Since I have set the Reserve/Issue Method = Manual, system will accept that any quantity is issued. Now let’s say we actually con

Queue Time

The queue time also impacts the required date/time of the material linked to the operation (At least in IFS Cloud). So basically, the queue time creates a buffer before the operation start date/time when the material from previous operation and the material from stock is made available until the operation is actually planned to start. It typically gives the shop floor a bit of flexibility to sequence operations in the best order.

EDIT As Built Structure

@mmoss If you detect that the as-built structure is incorrect after you have already received the products into stock, you can unreceive the product back to the shop order which will make the tracked structure editable as Dameenda explained above.A multilevel repair shop order can also be used to modify (or rather create a new revision) the as-built structure.

How to exclude Breaks from duration time

Since you have Base Labor Result on Attendance selected, the labor time between 12:00 and 13:00 will be excluded from the labor time result if the attendance time is also included for this period. I.e., depending on how you have defined the employee schedule and calculate the attendance time, the labor time will be calculated the same way.If you clear this check box the logic will instead use the value in the Calendar Consideration field. An example with a schedule from 8:00-17:00 with break between 12:oo and 13:00 below.

MRO multi-level repair order vs DOP

Since the multilevel repair shop order is not connected to a DOP order (and it cannot be), the material line cannot be DOP supplied either. I don’t really see any other way than manually creating the shop order to supply the material line, and if required manually peg it to the material line.
