Hi We are exploring this functionality - does this work on no part lines? The Order Proc Type field is available in Part Lines but not in no part lines Is it possible to automatically convert to order and release purchase orders for no part lines? If so how?! Thanks Hi @Rich P, Order Processing Types to include No-Part Lines is coming in 24R1 and prior releases do not cover them. Br,Mikko.
Hi @Sanjay.K, without knowing which version of IFS you’re working with, the enforced use of Purchase Order Change Orders comes from the Site and/or the Supplier record. Check the settings on those first? Br,Mikko
Hi @Hashmit, The easy answer would be that some inventory parts have not been included in the count report’s scope due to the Count Report creation parameters. So can you provide more details about the Count Report creation? And which version of IFS? Br,Mikko
Hi, if the setup (authorizers and their groups, templates, rules) is exactly the same today as they were in 2023 and the cutoff happened just as the year changed, then it still sounds to me like a validity issue of some sort. Br,Mikko
Hello @Lauren, also depending on what you’re more detailed requirements are, there are more counting functionalities available under Warehouse Management > Counting and Site has additional parameters under the Inventory tab. My screen captures from App10 IEE and @PJIFS’s is from the Aurena interface.Br,Mikko
Cost Center is Valid till 2049 And the PR’s in question were all manually created? Br,Mikko
PR rules are based on Cost centers and routings are set in groups. The PR’s I checked didnt fetched authorization rules Hi, could be a stretch, but based on this info I would check the Cost Center and it’s validity period? Br,Mikko
Hi @Waqar Habib have a look at the below threads and the proposed solutions in them: Br,Mikko
Hi @PM42 , I am not super familiar how the calibration requirement of a Manufacturing Tool is linked to the tool’s validity, if there even is such a connection, but how about this: You could basically set the tool’s validity end date to mirror the next calibration date 1:1. Then when the next calibration date is reached, it’s validity would also end and user intervention is required. It’s a workaround, but would that work? Br,Mikko
In what section . event category or event builder ? Hi, from the info provided I do not know which IFS version you’re working with but Custom Events and connected Actions can be found:IFS Cloud // Solution Manager > Configuration > Event > Events IFS10 IEE // Solution Manager > User Interface > Custom Objects > Events And Senders:IFS Cloud // Solution Manager > Integration > IFS Connect > Setup IFS Connect > Senders IFS10 IEE // Solution Manager > Integration > IFS Connect > Setup IFS Connect > Connector Senders Br,Mikko
Hi @aseel , have you checked that there aren’t, for example, 2 separate Event Actions enabled and both handling the same scenario? Or similarly 2 separate Mail Senders both sending individual emails? Br,Mikko
Hi, I am afraid the ‘purchase order template’ option I have shown is something available in IFSCloud. I do not think you can use the APP10’s standard object template (my administration/templates) option in place of Cloud’s purchase order templates as the object templates are saved as individual lines as you have pointed. Maybe Mikko can guide us here? Thanks Asanka Hi again @ronhu , it looks like I jumped the gun a bit. The Template functionality has been upgraded through APP10 UPD8 but it requires the Aurena interface and isnt’t available via IEE.So via Aurena a user can create a “complete“ purchase order template including both header and lines, just like @AsankaGaru had screen captured. Then a new PO can be created from scratch using a Purchase Order Template or new lines can be added to an existing PO via the same means. Ok, back to the beginning: so there’s no way purchase package parts to populate a large number of lines from a single part source. Since I trust this req
Hi, (I admit I have not checked the links stated in the reply by Mikko) You could use the purchase order templates to some extent. When adding the purchase order lines, you can select to add all lines in the template, which corresponds to child parts of the package. Hope this helps, Asanka Though both scenarios require some setup, using Purchase Order Templates as suggested by @AsankaGaru is by far the simpler and easier way to simulate the requirement especially if the requirement involves a large number of individual purchase order lines.Screen capture is from IFS Cloud, but it’s worth mentioning, since @ronhu did not specify the IFS version in question, that in versions predating Cloud the created templates can be found from My Administration > Templates and created/used directly from the Purchase Order screen. Br,Mikko
Hi @ronhu, sorry to say, but currently there does not seem to exist a solution to this requirement. Some workarounds do exist and have been discussed here in the Community.Depending on your existing solution the workarounds may or may not be useful, as configured parts are involved, but maybe they are worth looking into? https://community.ifs.com/products-manufacturing-products-engineering-40/configured-part-on-a-manual-purchase-order-15602 https://community.ifs.com/products-manufacturing-products-engineering-40/workround-for-purchasing-a-configured-part-14493 https://community.ifs.com/buying-procurement-demand-planner-asc-srm-41/creating-purchase-structure-for-configurable-part-21422?tid=21422&fid=41 Br,Mikko
Hi, this is a big subject and as far as I am aware of, there’s no solution in IFS for example for handling MSDS’s. While working at a customer we had a third party web portal for archiving/producing up-to-date MSDS’s across all required languages, ChemWatch I think was the company, but there are of course others. There must’ve also been an interface between IFS and their portal as well to ensure coverage for all parts in IFS with defined Dangerous Goods Classification data. So IFS would house the Dangerous Goods Classification data per part like Packaging Groups, proper Shipping Names, Tunnel Codes etc. so that the Fire Department list of inventory part in stock records covering DG items could be printed easily. The way we would then use the defined DG Classification data for operations would be through document texts connected to parts and used with certain documents, like Shipment Delivery Notes etc. The actual MSDS’s compliant with local legislation and with fully detailed informati
Hi @astfarazt , the fastest way, picking wise at least, I could come up with is this: Using a configuration of REPORT_PICKING_PART and making it as it’s own Subsequent Process ID.I didn’t change much in the Data Items from the out-of-the-box configuration #1, only changed the visibility of a couple of items, so the WaDaCo user sees the information.This way the chained configuration runs through the lines one by one, but the user has tochoose the correct Pick List No only once then input Qty Picked as many times as there are LINE_NOs and REL_NOs available on the pick list I even left the Confirm Execution as FALSE, so if there’s 5 lines to pick, the user has to give input 6 times [=pick list no + (qty picked * 5)]I don’t know if there is a faster way as WaDaCo needs input per individual line. Also if you have multiple parts on the source CO and their quantities are spread across multiple lines, but they are not in a tidy order, then using UNIQUE_LINE_ID forces the WaDaCo user to follow
Can the report picking by part support a bulk pick by part number? For example, if a Customer Order has: 5 different lines for Part# XX-100 for a quantity of 5 each These 25 pieces exist in one Inventory Location Is there any mechanism that would point the user to go the Inventory Location and pick 25 pieces of Part# XX-100 as opposed to 5 different line items of Part # XX-100? Hi @astfarazt, the first thing I can think of is to use Handling Units here. You could try connecting the individual Shipment lines to a new Handling Unit via Shipment Handling Unit Structure on the Shipment header before any picking is done. Therefore once the warehouse personnel go and physically pick the 25 pcs from one inventory location, systemwise the 25 pcs are already in a HU, which WaDaCo can pick in one go via REPORT_PICK_SHIPMENT_HU. However, if you need then to pack the parts separately systemwise per CO-line and not together as 1 HU, then that’s another story. Br,Mikko
Thanks. This is very helpful. Do you know how much of this is available in 10? We are on UPD9 and are looking at going to Cloud next year, so we might have to wait for some of this. Hi and yes it is in App10 as well. Br,Mikko
@AStelling I would handle this using Inventory Part Statuses. You could define a status that doesn’t allow demand and supply → this means that the parts that have assigned that status can’t be used on PO or CO. Yeah, it’s also important to understand that the “Demands Allowed” & “Supply Allowed” control parameters as FALSE prohibit the creation of new records, but pre-existing records, purchase orders for instance, can still be processed. Br,Mikko
Hi @astfarazt, maybe try starting the loop at PART_NO and keep relevant Data Items in it as well like picking location, quantity to be picked etc. and SHIP_LOCATION_NO right after the loop? This way you the warehouse worker can pick all that is needed and right after exiting the loop they are asked to provide the Shipment Location for all. Placing UNIQUE_LINE_ID somewhere to the tail end of the configuration makes it not force the warehouse worker’s hand, so to speak. Br,Mikko
Hi @DMNBSOM, “Many thanks for your fast and thourough response! Making the parts ‘in inventory’ traced would indeed solve the above problem. However, we struggle with the disadvantages of this setting when relocating ‘in inventory’ traced parts (requires a seperate scanning transaction for each relocation (when not using handling units)).”How about creating a MOVE_PART configuration with as few steps as possible?You could start the configuration with the Data Item SERIAL_NO, which would automatically find the part number and from location data if you set their Use Automatic Value as Fixed and hide all steps which are not necessary. Maybe trying something like this could lead you to a suitable configuration. Another problem with keeping the Master Part not tracked in inventory, but identifying serials, is that the identified serial exists for the specific Inventory Part In Stock record as long as the record stays the same, meaning:if you move the inventory part with an identified serial
Hi @DMNBSOM , that’s the issue you run into when serial tracking is not enabled In Inventory. It strictly prohibits serial tracking in inventory and counting via serials as well. When this is true the inventory parts, and for all their existing stock, will be processed in inventory with serial “*” only. I don’t know which version of IFS you’re working with, but in IFS Cloud a Master Part record can be set as “In Inventory” after transactions already exist, but you have to first define serials per individual Inventory Part In Stock record.This can of course be cumbersome depending on the number of serial records in the Part Serial catalog per part. In the following screen captures I have a Part that is tracked, but not In Inventory, so the Part Serial catalogue has records due to serials created during inbound process.For Inventory Part In Stock record I can initiate Identify Serials (picture 1) and connect the existing serial number records (picture 2) to individual 5 PCS in stock (pic
Hi @First Employee, since List Of Values is set as “Auto Pick”, the system automatically saves the first available value from the LOV. If you want a say in the matter, change from “Auto Pick” to either “On” or “Forced” to be able manually choose a value from the LOV. Br,Mikko
Hi @Vernon Anderson ,see my replies: “It appears that I am limited to only 16 items on the menu when I use Scan It. Is that correct?”I was able to add more than 16 items to the menu, a mixture of folders and individual configurations, and all were visible in client and Scan It. @Dario Zani do you a reason for the limitation Vernon described? “In the same menu, I can add a folder but I have these issues: I can add a folder but it doesn’t appear when I run Warehouse Data Collection from the navigator. It also doesn’t appear when I use Scan it.”Empty folders do not appear as visible items in Scan It or WaDaCo in client. You can create a Russian doll of folders and multiple levels of subfolders, but if there are no linked process’s or configurations inside, none of them will be visible in WaDaCo. “How do I add configurations to folders so that I can reduce the number of each items on a screen? The help text doesn’t describe it,”In the Data Collection Menu page, you need to dive down to t
Hi @mdeanton, I am not very deeply into Shop Order functionalities as such, but in general a pick list can be eradicated/disposed by pickreporting it’s lines with zero values.Then nothing is actually picked, and the quantities originally reserved to the pick list are released back into stock as available, but the pick list itself is then considered as pickreported.
