Hi Asanka, There is a fundamental difference between APB and MSO as you know, APB is a rule based engine while MSO is optimization engine. Of course the Automatic mode , the reschedule happens with triggers ( meaning any changes happening in the factory flow which needs rescheduling. ). MSO is IFS’s fully cloud supported finite scheduling engine using PSO as the scheduling service. First we need to understand what customer wants to achieve with finite scheduling and I think we can go from there. There are materials available in IFS Academy, release notes and click learn material. Starting from CBS APB windows dependency, being rule based and so on, MSO has many advantages over APB./Saman
Yes Matt, You need to load. Otherwise Consuming parent shop orders will not see, the finite sub assembly supplyThanks and regardsSaman
HiI would like to suggest certain functional alternatives that you can think of. Of course these alternatives can be evaluated to use in your requirement. One is resource share. The other is operation block functionality. Resource share basically support running different product in a same machine simultaneously while operation blocks helping, planners to group operation together in to a execution block where the block can be planned to execute in parallel or sequential manner. I also would like to hear from someone who is already using these functionalities or has used some other alternative.ThanksSaman
Hi I guss The “ finite capacity option do consider open supplies. else it is a bug “//Finite: Operation can start after Leadtime is elapsed ( if there is no projected supply to fulfil the full demand of the operation )//
Hi,Please follow this. Open the color pallet. Then drag and drop the color icon with small line to the Gantt area. Then close APB restart it You will see the orange color is gone and no color in the Gantt area.Hope this helps/Saman
In IFS Cloud , it is possible to see the maintenance load in machine load graphs.
Hi,“Resource Share” and “ Run factor” are two different concepts.I think in your above example, you are referring to the run factor.you can of course define run factor as 0.0167 and that would get multiplied by lot size and the machine load will be decided upon it.Resource share is basically “ how much “ of a resource that is needed for that operation to perform in a given time instance.Or did I understand your scenario completely wrong?if you can give an example of what you wanna do , probably I would be able to exaplain.ThanksSaman
HiThis is possible in certain level.APB can use to make assignments and that can be used in schedulingThanks and regardsSaman
Hi , what is the version that you are using?You may be able to sue Manufacturing visual planning to see maintenance load?or resource breaks window?Thanks and regrdsSaman
Hi,Yes , No you cant. In that case your operation would get unscheduled as it require 2 people.Thanks and regardsSaman
HiThis is not possible I m afraid. When there is an outside operation in the operation structure , what we advice is to put a realistic run factor to the operation representing the outside work. This will make sure that the subsequent operation start on the proper time. But if the PO is set to arrive early , that I m afraid is not detected by APB. Thanks and regardsSaman
Hi,no I m afraid not.I m wondering the nature of the business that requires 3 decimal level resource sharing? Could you please elaborate.Thanks and regardsSaman
Hi,Yes ( as the priority category adjust the adjusted dates and it is adjusted dates that are the input to scheduling logic) No Cant ( our next Generation finite schedule solution will be able to do this)Thanks and RegardsSaman
Hi Eric,May I know why it is needed. Why shouldn’t the visualizer reflect /reset operation start and finish time as per the remaining time? why it is needed “ uncompressed”?ThanksSaman
Hi Praveen//Also another key feature which most customers like to see. Waiting for more updates from 22R1. [A feature to live schedule APB]//can you elaborate more../Saman
Hi Ewats,If I remember correctly , these order codes (E& F) do not work with Master scheduling. It is intended to work with MRP only. Please check the document.http://docweb.corpnet.ifsworld.com/ifsdoc/Apps10/Documentation/en/default.htm?openpage=http://docweb.corpnet.ifsworld.com/ifsdoc/Apps10/Documentation/en/MaintainInventory/AboutMRPOrderCodes.htmthanks and regardsSaman
Hi,Please check with IFS Academy./Saman
HiConfiguration structure is primarily used in configure to order process. in IFS , if you define a part as configurable ( at part level check box), and when you lets say try to manufacture using shop order, the shop order will copy components and operations to the shop order from “configuration structure” based on the configuration that you define at the shop order level. In order to select the relevant component parts and operations for the shop order, you define certain rules in the configuration structure and routing where the rules are connected to configuration characteristic option values that you set when you define the configuration. For example., you are manufacturing chairs with lather seat and fabric seat. Lets say for simplicity, all the other component are same. Unlike Product structure, the configuration structure will have, plastic seat , and leather seat as components. At execution level when you set the configuration for plastic chair, the shop order will have th
Hi,In Aurena, APB client GUI has not changed. Similar to IFS EE, the users will be able to open APB and use it . Therefore functionalities are not different within APB irrespective of the fact that it is open from IFS EE or Aurena.Hope this helpsSaman
Hi Adam,I really do not get this // what parameter is used on APB to modify the available//. Could you elaborate more with an example?Thanks and regardsSaman
Hi,This works, Put the objects ( shop orders in your case ) of your choice to the Gantt area and then use the option “ save as a scenario”It will be saved as a scenario and will be shown in the drop down. Further , you can assign plot settings ( custom or preset ) to the scenario you can define sort order for the objects IF You wish to - you can set up a scenario to load at the start up of APB. So your custom scenario can be set as your APB start up scenario. Hope this helps,Saman
Hi,Is it Manufacturing visual planning solution or Manufacturing visualizer ( IFS EE version) that this problem do occur? Both solutions are designed handle the dataset queried by the user. So as per my knowledge there is no such upper limit. But having large data set obviously will slower the performance and also , the charts and graphs will show very small segments that the planner cant work with. Therefore it is not practically useful to have extremely large dataset queried. The best practice would be to query data set filtered by time with other parameters like work center, part numbers, planner name ect.If application crashes due to a query that results large data set, then that should probably be investigated more. Please use standard support process for that.,Hope this helps.Saman
Hi There is no effect. APB will not take that in to account. I quote here the tooltip.Hope this helpsSaman
No not really.But this is the work around. Use your tooltips on resource to get more info. Then use expand/Collapse options to get operations visible when necessroy and then you will see more info ( extended settings).This might work for you.Other than that it is not possible to plot more info on resource line ( operations) Thanks and regardsSaman
Hi.Indeed you can.if a part is a scheduling constraint, then you need to set the part as “ finite “ or “ always finite”Finite - means - the operation that needs this material will schedule only after its Leadtime or the projected quantity onhand fulfil the operation requirement.Always finite- means the operation that needs this material will schedule only after projected quantity on hand fulfil the operation requirement.Infinite- means- there s no material restriction for scheduling/ The setting is in Inventory part > Planning tab > schedule capacity within APB, the operation object has material tab showing the material demand.you can load the material object also to APB And plot it.It will show the material demand supply profile and the availability of material for the operations ( so that they can be scheduled).Hope this helpsThanks and regardsSaman
