In our product backlog we have an enhancement request to be able to view resource load when running Simulate Material Availability (i.e. extend this simulation to include also a load simulation and rename the page). But currently I agree with your suggested approach; i.e. create a SO req and run CRP or a shop order and see the effect on the load which of course is a bit cumbersome!
Scheduled resource breaks will also be visible in Visual Planning, i.e. when you have created a resource break (either manually or created based on a work order of Obstructive Type), and scheduled it in APB, it will also show up as load in Visual Planning of load type Resource Break.
In Apps 10, there are also 2 lobby elements (not part of any lobby by default), where you should be able to find a quick overview of the cost.Take a look at the elements COMPONENT SCRAP COST and OPERATION SCRAP COST. They will probably give you an idea of how you could define lobby elements to show what you are looking for, by reusing the data sources.
Hi @jamiewhite!This setting will affect what you report on the operation, i.e. if you set it on the produced part, it will fire if you overreport the operation. If you have operation connected material, that material will be backflushed accordingly, But there is no setting preventing manual issuing of components on a shop order.
Yes, there is such setting. Please see Inventory Part, Manufacturing tab, where you have both a setting (Allowed, Allowed with Warning and Not Allowed) and a tolerance value to set.
If you set all materials as finite, the loading time for data to be loaded to APB will increase heavily. The scheduling inside APB is not that much affected (depending on how many materials you have per order of course), but mostly the problem is with the loading. Also i would not recommend to use Always finite 8better to use finite within lead-time), because otherwise many operations will end up unscheduled, which will be hard to understand for the user.My recommendation would be to use finite within lead-time and to start with the most critical components.
Closed operations are not rescheduled, when the shop order is rescheduled. I suspect that in your case, op 30 was closed before op 10 was closed, and after op 30 was closed, a rescheduling has been performed on the shop order. In the history tab on the shop order, you can see if op 30 was closed before op 10.By looking at your work center settings, you can also see that Base Remaining Hours On, is set to Reported Time, i.e. if you have report more time then what is planned, the remaining time to schedule would be 0, which is also what you can see is the difference between start and finish time on op 30, i.e. it is scheduled to be finish at the same time it should start. If you look on op 30, you can see that is the case there, i.e. I think the order was also rescheduled after op 30 was reported with more hours then planned, but this does not impact the answer on this question!
When Update ESD according material availability is triggered, the logic to calculate availability checks the availability for the whole time range from sysdate + lead-time (mfg lead-time for mfg components, purchase lead-time for purchased components). The logic will not only check if there are incoming supplies, it also make sure that if moving this order, you will not create negative project onhand for any other demands within that time period. I.e. you have a 10 day lead time for your component, and a supply coming in tomorrow, then you could argue for tomorrow is the ESD. But if all that supply is already considered to be used by another demand, Update ESD will move your order to the end of the time period (i.e. leadtime for component).
To be able to freeze the schedule, you could do as you have suggested. I.e. when rescheduling operations, exclude the released once. Another option is to select only a subset of the operations and reschedule only those. (like select all orders scheduled from next week or similar). Also not loading all operations is an option, but then APB will not be aware of those, and then you could extend the offset for earliest possible start time, to make sure you are not overbooking the resources in now time.The unscheduled operations are operations that the APB scheduler has tried to schedule, but was not able to find a slot where all constraints were fulfilled. This could be a material constraint can not be fulfilled, the labor class does not have any employees (capacity) or the calendars of the constraints does not overlaps enough. those operations are not plotted in the Gant chart, since they don´t have a gap between start and finish. Unscheduled operations are not producing any load, i.e. wh
Hi @EnzoFerrari . Print UoM is also available in Product Structure and Configuration Structure, i.e. the value from Inventory Part is used as a default for all these structure types when adding the part as a new component. For all these structure types, the idea with Print UoM is to display the additional UoM and qty required in that UoM on the shop order related documents, like pick list. Have you thought of trigger the Copy Part (core functionality) when doing your copy? In Aurena that option is available from Inventory Part.
I agree there is no need to have the print UoM same as the inventory UoM. On the inventory part, this is just used as the default value, when this part is used as a material in a product structure.The idea with the Print UoM is to let the user define an alternate UoM to show in the pick lists etc. This UoM is more relevant to the persons working with the specific structure. For 21R2 we are extending the possibilities for this field to also be in another Base UoM, if there are a density defined for the part.
In APB, you can modify the current now time, i.e the time that APB thinks that the clock is when scheduling the operations. If you set this date/time value to a very early date (like first of January in my example), and then reschedule the operations, all operations will meet its need date (as long as they are a bit later then first of January), When you save back to database, some of the operations will end up as past due, since they are scheduled in the past!You can find the this In APB Menu - Tools- Settings:
This is a known limitation in our current solution, and it is part of our product backlog for product group manufacturing, i.e. it is a candidate for future development. The recipe structure is a complex page with several different ways of entering the structure and not easy to just add into the estimate. Therefore it was not added as part of the released estimate bid management solution.
If you define the component (Disc and spindle) as a finite material or Always Finite (Schedule Capacity in Inventory Part setting), then that will be added as a constraint when scheduling the parent part, i.e. the component needs to be available before the parent can be scheduled! Schedule CapacitySpecify whether the material is to be calculated with Finite availability (limited within a fixed non-zero lead time, or always limited) or with Infinite availability (unlimited) during operation scheduling with IFS Advanced Planning Board (APB) or Work task scheduling with Maintenance Planning Board (MPB)
Have you tried to logon with the user that does not work on another device, i.e.laptop or other mobile?
The setting for Shared Location (Work Center, Locations tab, column Shared Location) for inbound locations, controls weather the parts on this location can be reserved for material that does not have a operation connection to the work center. I.e. Shop Order 1, with material line A, that is either not operation connected, or connected to a operation on another work center, should that material line be allowed to reserve from this location or not.Then there is another setting on the work center, Outside Reserve/Backflush, which controls if a material line connected to a operation on this work center, should be allowed to continue the reservation/backflushing logic through this step or not (which is step 3 in reserve/backflush logic for a shop order material line. If you set this to Not Allowed, operation connected materials will not be allowed to reserve or backflush from other locations further down in the logic (step 4 floor stock and step 5 picking locations).But if you allow reserv
The CBS queue time is calculated when the operation gets scheduled by Advanced Planning Board.The field description has the following explanation:If the operation is scheduled by Advanced Planning Board, this is the number of hours that it needs to wait in queue before it is scheduled to start. This is calculated each time the operation is rescheduled. If the operation is CBS unscheduled, there will be no CBS queue time. This value is calculated as follows.For the first operation:If backward scheduled: Operation start time - Latest possible start time (LPST) of the shop orderIf forward scheduled: Operation start time - Earliest possible start time (EPST) of the shop orderOther operations:Operation start time - End time of previous operation - Transport time of previous operationI.e. in your example, the order is forward scheduled, and you have queue time on the first operation, which indicates, that the value should be the number of hours between EPST on the Shop Order, and the start t
@JerkerHultqvist Do you have any input on this. I.e. what permission sets do we include and should also these special clients be delivered with a predefined permission set?
In the release notes for Manufacturing we have mentioned the following:5.2 ADVANCED PLANNING BOARD AUTHENTICATION AND PERMISSIONThe authentication method for Advanced Planning Board has been changed and therefore it is required to enable the authentication for this. The client ID IFS_cbs_native should be set to Enabled from IAM Client page to be able to open Advanced Planning Board. To perform transactions with Advance Planning Board, end-users must be granted permission to projection AdvancedPlanningBoardIntegrationHandlingPlease try this and let me know the result.
Currently it is not possible to define different alternates using different UoM for the components. On the shop orders created, the UoM will always be in the inventory unit of measure for the component. There is a field on the component line on the structure where you can define a Print UoM. Currently that field only allows to be in the same base UoM as the UoM on the component, but for IFS Cloud 21R2, we plan to open it up to be possible to define that in other Base UoM and use the density and weight to calculate the value. Anyway the Print UoM field is only shown on Pick Lists etc.Another way is to use the Input UoM Group that you can first define in basic data, and then set up on the Inventory Part. Then when issuing material and receiving the produced part, you can issue and receive in different UoM and it will be converted into the Inventory part UoM. But for a scenario like this, you will need to define one Input UoM group per component, since it does not use the density or the w
The difference between these 2 options is that when using finite within lead time, it will be possible to schedule the top part one lead time away from now time, i.e. logic assumes you will be able to receive material when lead time has passed. With both options you should be able to schedule B as soon as A is scheduled. Try reschedule only shop order B when A is scheduled.When using always finite, it will not be possible to schedule B if there is no scheduled SO for A (or material available on hand). From the field descriptions for Scheduling Capacity:Specify whether the material is to be calculated with Finite availability (limited within a fixed non-zero lead time, or always limited) or with Infinite availability (unlimited) during operation scheduling with IFS Advanced Planning Board (APB) or Work task scheduling with Maintenance Planning Board (MPB).
if you setup the subassembly part (A) to be finite or always finite, (setting in the Inventory Part, Planning Data tab) the scheduling in APB will not allow to schedule the top part (B) until there are available demands (scheduled shop order or available inventory) for the subassembly (A).That should do the trick in this scenario!
in the documentation there is an About Control Plan which give you a good view on this I think, see below where I have extracted some part of the text for triggers. You can not create any own triggers, but by using the trigger type Manual, you should be able to trigger a custom defined action/trigger by using custom events. Sample Frequency TriggersAn analysis can be created manually or automatically. To create an analysis automatically, sample frequency triggers are used. Whether creating an analysis for a specific control plan is required or not is a basic data requirement setting in quality management. When triggers are defined, analyses will be created according to the defined trigger type. Different trigger types are used for purchased parts and manufactured parts.Trigger types used for manufactured parts are:Start Shop Order Nonconforming Time IntervalStart Shop OrderThe start shop order trigger prompts an analysis to be created every time the shop order is set to Started status.
No, the solution can only transfer direct to a product structure and does not have a connection to PDM.
Unscheduled shop orders are not shown in the GANTT chart. Check if the operation you rescheduled got unscheduled. If that is the case, then the resources used on the operations could have ended (i.e. resource end date is in the past) or if a calendar used on the resource has an end date in the past. Resources to verify would be work centers, labor class and tools. And calendars used in APB can be found in Master Data - Work Time Calendars - Calendars
