Introduce MRP Action Message to highlight non-availability of stocks under 'one lot allowed' situations

Hi, As you perhaps know, MRP does the netting per part and per day. And not per part, day and order. So in the general case - the gross requirement of 10 for the specific day could come from 10 different demand order lines, 1 each. What I wanted to say is... it is not that easy to fine-tune MRP engine in every aspect. We also have the overall performance to consider as well. -Mats @majose Thank you for the explanation!

ODBC Connection

Yes, You could use Get Data option in Data tab in Excel ribbon. Then select Get Data From Oracle. But for this you need to have vpn connection to the database server as well as necessary database privileges and knowledge about entities in relational database system.  Also note that from IFS Cloud release onwards IFS Database could not directly accessible from outside systems.  Therefore I wouldn’t recommend directly connecting to oracle in order to retrieve data.   Best regards, Voshitha   Thanks a lot Voshitha

Changing a Project group

After approving the project, the system automatically creates a Financial Project. This project can be viewed in the 'Financial Project' window. If you want to amend the Project Group, this can be done in the 'Financial Project' window and it will be reflected in the 'Project Setup Parameters' window.

Date Format change in relation with the Language.

Hi Dasuni, You can try below steps in Aurena.Date format in Aurena is coming according to the browsers language (default locale for that language). Different browsers have different ways to set the language. by default its regional setting language. For example please refer Change Chrome languages & translate web pages for Chrome. Further, you may try below steps and see whether it works in windows client as well. Change time formats of the Region settings of the machine. Certain settings consider format MM/DD/YYYY and other consider DD/MM/YYYY. Best Regards;Tharindu Fernando

MRP - Action Messages

Tharindu Fernando, I thought of this also but checked and the Boms were all buildable   Hi Andygrove, Then it seems there could be multiple reasons to trigger this issue. I’ll cross check and let you know if I could find any other reason. Best Regards;Tharindu Fernando

How does the aeam access supercede in Projects for multiple teams for one team member?

Hi Dasuni,In this scenario, the team with the higher access capabilities is given priority; i.e. the team with less or no restrictions./Tharindu Fernando

Manufacturing Tool Capacity Cannot be defined in Cloud.

Hi @Dasuni Samarakoon ,As per my knowledge this functionality is not available in IFS Cloud also. Maybe you could consider the option of raising this as an Idea. /Tharindu Fernando

MRP - Action Messages

I have seen this error message if a structure has component parts of type manufactured which do not have any buildable structures.So even if your BOM is in buildable state, this error message could be triggered. Did you cross check all your component parts in the BOM?

How to track non-buildable parts in MRP

Navigate to "MRP Action Proposals" window and query for your site. This should reflect a MRP message under the next level manufacturing part indicating "Not Buildable" as the MRP message.I hope this explanation will help you.

The ‘Resource ID’ column in ‘Project Employee Allocation’ cannot be updated after saving a record

Hi Tharindu,   There is a direct link between employee and resource group considering resource planning. However, the requirement can be a functional enhancement. Hence it is better to create an Idea as well in community.   Regards, Peshala.  Hi Peshala,Can this be a functional enhancement since this was already available in the previous versions? I believe that there has to be a reason for this change. Are you aware of any such reason? Maybe related to ‘Resource Groups’? Best Regards;Tharindu Fernando

Internal transfer happens when Unissuing SO materials to a different location

Un-Issue process starts with reversal of the original issue transaction. It is necessary to make it this way to reverse all the transactions and costs. So it is not another transaction that happens on over the other. But it is the reversal of the issue transaction, which always moves the stocks to the issued location. Then only the internal transfer can be executed when the un-issue location is different. So, this has been done in this way for the above purpose.
