Reset your variables within the Loop. Otherwise you will pass objid and objversion (p1 and p2 for you) from the previously created Loop. The parameter is IN OUT so after the first Loop it WILL have a value.

The inventory part in stock object does not exist

Hey Ozge, do you have any customizations in place when you try moving them? The error usually appears when you try to do an transaction that requires changes to the inventory part in stock and the keys that have been entered into a function are not found in the database (we built WMS Flows so we encounter this a lot during development). So reasons i can think of are:customization corrupted data Seeing that you are on APPs9 where you cannot move reserved stock in standard, did you check reservations? Event that triggers when you try to move and has wrong input (but that should have a “trigger is mutating” error anyways). I am sure there are other possibilities, but could you describe a bit more in detail what you are doing exactly? Is it an RMB “ Move Part” or a WaDaCo scan or a script or…? Regards, Johannes

Character limit on part numbers

Hey, Part No in IFS is limited to 25 Characters. Since Part No is used in A LOT of Tables and A LOT of Functions/Procedures this is basically impossible to customize. You don’t need to try :-). There are alternatives you can look into though, depending on what you want to achieve. Like f.e. storing the “longer” Part No somewhere connected to the part. Any reason you can’t use the part_no within the 25 characters? If you want to have part characteristics displayed in a part Number try to shorten the codes for that or look into storing part Characteristics on the part (there’s a fucntion for that). Other more descriptive information can also be in the part description and so on. If you let us know why you need longer Part Nos we could probably show you alternatives. Johannes

Disassembly Shipment

and yes @ROVECH this seems to be exactly the used case we did built our Shipment Relevant Part Solution for: Configured Parts and Ship from Shop Order.

Disassembly Shipment

Hey, Haven’t checked the newest releases in Cloud if that changed, but IFS has this on the roadmap since a rather long time. Not really sure what the status at the moment is. I have seen slides years ago, where IFS presented the idea for a generic shipment and has started making it more generic by renaming the order fields to generic Soure_ref field and slowly adding more sources. Last i checked shop order has not been implemented for IFS standard yet, so there is no way to do this in standard. I have seen different solutions for this at different customers, but it always involved either a larger customization or our Novacura Flow solution.For customizations I have seen: Completly Customized new Shipment Add Project deliverable lines to shipment and pick list, Create the lines as customer order lines (NOT advised if you have configurable parts. This will be a pain if you want to do changes) Similar to above, just that the customer order lines are summarized as a package part for bette

Approval processes

You want to add an approval process to Sales Quotation and Purchase Requisition? If that is the question than yes, you can do it in IFS standard if you have the right modules. For PO: You need to set up Templates and Rules when and what Authorization steps are added, based on things like supplier, Buyer, Project, Change Order, minimum amount/max amount…Look into these settings and read a bit through the base setup. See how far you can get and come back with any more questions you are having.For Sales Quotation it’s similar and you can find the settings here: Basic Steps are:Create Routing Template with authorizing steps (can be Person, role or project role based) Create An Authorization rule and fill out data. Connect it to the template you created Release the Authorization Rule Once you try to release a Purchase Requisition where a PRA Rule applies you should get a message and see the Steps needed here: If that is not what you are asking for there is also a generic approva

Custom Event in 'Shipment' Screen

I think when you click RMB complete then process is running through background job. code seems to be ok there is no issue . So first check in background jobs , process is running there or not . If it is coming in background job then you need to keep this process as online through setup . and If process is not coming in background jobs then you need to open debug , perform activity and copy main application code and run in pl/sql developer and debug that. You can inbox me if you need any help . Good point. You can check the Shipment Type to see if it’s set to run as a background job or not (it’s a checkbox there). Error would still be raised in the background job and should show there. I overread that the status of the shipment did not change so nehavertosync is very likely correct. If you want the error to be raised for the user it would only work if you process the shipment events online by unchecking the checkbox in teh shipment type.

How to sell software in configurated parts

I have seen this implemented in different ways for different customers:Option 1: As Matt said create a part in the BoM and set it to “Not Consumed) and add it according to normal CTO backoffice rules. Pricing can be done on the Characteristic as is normal for CTO. Option 2: Add a rule to add an additional operation (Install Software) that needs to be reported on in the Shop Order. Option 3: Add a rule to Add work Instructions Option 4: (Probably not for your case). Create an external rule that adds the part as a non-inventory sales Part to the customer order. This could be priced individually. Downside is you would also need to add a “counter”-function to remove the line when the configuration changes. For what you want to achieve this is probably not the right one, but we had other scenarios where it was useful. Option 5: Event action to send a task (via Streams) to a team responsible for this when you release the order and the Shop Order is created.Hope that helps, Personally i thin

Custom Event in 'Shipment' Screen

Also in your screenshot the checkbox for Event enabled is not set :-). Make sure your event and your event action are enabled.

Custom Event in 'Shipment' Screen

On another note: I don’t think your event triggers at all. Your are assigning Shipment (Number) as a String since you are using ‘ ‘ around your variable. This would most definetly raise an event action error. You need to remove the ‘’ and check why your event does not trigger.Also set the event to trigger AFTER the change (IFS will still rollback changes when you raise the error).

Custom Event in 'Shipment' Screen

Although the event triggers before the change in status the function IFSAPP.Shipment_Flow_API.Get_Next_Step(SHIPMENT_ID_) might not yield the correct result here, depending on your data. . The Event looks ok, in the Event Action on the top left set the “Conditions for performing this action” to OLD:ROWSTATE = Preliminary, NEW:ROWSTATE = Completed and OLD:CONTRACT = A01. Then run your loop and see if that changes anything.

Exclude 0 Transactions from weighted Purchase Costs calculation

Yeeess… standard costs. Sorry my bad. Thanks for your suggestions, i will look into it.

Exclude 0 Transactions from weighted Purchase Costs calculation

Hey Christy, not sure i understood you correctly, but we order the parts from internal suppliers (same Supplier, Same Parts), but with 2 different processes. If they are spare parts they have a price, if they are SRPs (Shipment Relevant Parts) they have a 0 price. Might be a dumb question as i am not very good in costing, but what exactly do you mean by “implement a business process that excludes internally sourced product costs/lines”? Regards, Johannes

Exclude 0 Transactions from weighted Purchase Costs calculation

Hey Christy, it’s a requirement i have encountered at quite a few customers and i have yet to see a good solution for it. It goes under the name “Shipment Relevant Parts”. Details differ from customer to customer, but usually you sell an end product and either you have to add parts belonging to this (but already included in the total price, could be anything from screws to spare parts.) in the shipment or the complete product gets assembled at the customer and you need to send pieces (but sell only one product). In this case the product is configured, meaning the content will change based on configuration, so you cannot use package parts either. Pricing is done on characteristics in the CTO part.We need to be able to separately pick and pack these parts in the Shipment Warehouse, declare them separately to customs and so on… All of these points leads to creating additional customer order lines as ”Add-ons” for the product purely for logistic and document purposes.

Have you tried setting up an action for the PDF_REPORT_CREATED Event? It’s a standard event and should be on your environment.Just go to the event actions, create a new event action for PDF_REPORT_CREATED, set it to E-Mail and enter your parameters when the action should trigger (e.g. Report Title).

Moving reserved product in Apps 9 Updt 14

Hey Rajan, we have done this a few times for Apps 9 customers. You should unreserve Stock, store the data in a temp table, move it and then build up the reservations again. Aps10 uses the same logic. The main challenge is the different reservation sources you need to consider (Customer order, shop order, project, requisition….) as each of those have different reservation functions. If you have access to an Apps 10 environment have a look at how it is done there as orientation. Regards, Johannes

How to Data fix Shipment Inventory Reservations

Hey Kanishka, which version of IFS are we talking about? when you mention ASC to you mean customers using the ASC VAP or just Automotive customers in general? The situation you are describing should not happen as shipment inventory is used after you pick a line from a shipment. Once you deliver that shipment the stock will be gone. Invoiced/Closed lines with reservations should also never happen. I would say the “ in Most Cases, we don’t know how they end up having such unusable Stuck Inventory Reservation.” is what you need to investigate by recreating their processes. You cannot remove the reservations from a closed line (which should be impossible to exist) and make the stock available either. That stock has been picked so i doubt it should be shown as available. If the answer to the question at the beginning is that customers are using the ASC module/VAP then the issue is likely related to this. Try to recreate it and report the issue to IFS. I haven’t encountered this in a

Solutions for the mutating problem

Nice idea. Can you do a commit in an event though? Not sure if i remember that correctly but wasn’t there some restriction? If this is implemented you should probably run the background job in a dedicated queue to make sure it is processed as fast as possible. It will slow down a simple modify either way. I will try this next time a requirement like this comes up. Thanks Damith /Johannes.

Solutions for the mutating problem

Does this work with what Hans wants to achieve though? I tried this once before to manipulate data on the same table that triggers it and for me the issue(s) were: On modify we would run into a deadlock as the modify still has the record locked On new we wouldn’t find the dataset as it’s not commited yet. I haven’t looked deeper into it since. What’s the trick to get this to work?

Yeah, you don’t have a column with that Name in the ial. You Need to include each column you are using as a condition into the IAL. You are now selecting from that IAL only, not from Customer Order, so each field you are using Needs to be present.

yes, as Garak said it should be the “” in the alias. It’s standard Oracle behavior. Try e.g. Select trademark from (Select ‘x’ “trademark” from dual) in PL/SQL and it will run into an error. Remove the “” and it should work.
