Transfer inventory and add cost

There is no way that a transfer of a part between two stock locations within the same site can increase the inventory value of the part.There is no such functionality in the system.It seems a bit odd that you would be able to increase your inventory value just by moving around stuff in the warehouse.

Change Availability Control Default

The default value is hard-coded so it cannot be changed by end users. See code snippet from dlgChangePartAvailabilityControl.cs: rbSameToLocation.Checked = true;You would have to go for a customization.

Get a list of low rotation products

One way would be to go to the ‘Inventory Parts’ window and query for all parts that have the Frequency Class set as “Slow Mover”.Of course this requires that you have run the “Perform ABC, Frequency and Lifecycle Classification” job.The limits for what is to be classified as Slow, Medium or Fast Mover is defined per Asset Class in the basic data window “Inventory Basic Data” on the Asset Class tab.

Availability of a report showing all the stock items which didn’t move during a specific period?

The easiest way would be to create a Quick Report that selects stock records that have a last_activity_date which is earlier than 365 days ago. Something like this:select <the columns that you want to display>from inventory_part_in_stockwhere last_ACTIVITY_DATE < SYSDATE - 365

Running IFS with millions of articles

I can only agree with Fredrik Stenén. That number of records in the database tables is not a problem in itself. Oracle handles it well. Performance problems usually is an effect of high transactional volumes rather than big basic data tables. Then also it depends on how you have configured the application, if customer is using serial tracking, handling units, certain inventory valuation methods, big product structures etcetera.

Cleanup of Standard Cost records

Yes, it is correct. It’s only when you want to change to either FIFO or LIFO that you need to issue and re-receive.

Cleanup of Standard Cost records

Yes, it will work the same way if you start off with Weighted Average per Lot/Batch. No problem.

Inventory Orders impacted by Transport Tasks

If a transport task line has reserved stock with the purpose of moving that stock away to another site, then it needs to act as any other demand that causes a decrease of plannable stock on the site. If the transport task is moving stock within the same site then the transport task line will act as both supply and demand so that the balance will be zero and not extra supply will be generated.

Cleanup of Standard Cost records

Before changing the Inventory Valuation Method from “Standard Cost” to “First In First Out” you need to make sure that there is no current stock quantities of the part. Otherwise you will get an error message saying “Inventory must be empty before changing to First In First Out valuation method”. So if you have any current stock you can use “Issue Inventory Part” or “Count Inventory Part” to make the On Hand Qty = 0. Then you can safely change to FIFO. Finally re-receive the quantities back into stock using “Receive Inventory Part”. If you receive quantities with zero cost while using FIFO cost method, then the zero cost fifo stack records will be treated just like any other cost. So it will happen at a later point that there will be issue transactions with zero cost. It will not be “balanced”.

Inter-Site Cost Bucket

If both sites belong to the same company, and if you use ‘Move Inventory Part’ or Transport Task to move this stock from site A to site B, then you can configure Cost Bucket Cross Reference data to connect cost bucket belonging to different sites together. Then you should be able to accomplish what you want.

Handling units losing Availability Control after WaDaCo inventory move

I can actually not recreate the problem when testing the core solution in our internal environments at IFS R&D. I tested “Move Handling Unit” via WADACO as well as via the “normal” UI, and in both cases it works fine.
