Hi @Dsquared,I would switch on the ‘Automatic Transfer from Std Inventory’ flag as well. This will execute the transfer for you when the demand date is within the lead time of the part. This puts pressure on the accuracy of your lead times but they need to be as good as you can get them anyway.The demand will consume your safety stock but in many ways it is what the safety stock is for.

Hi9 @Eric FOULART ,This is a bug in the core functionality.Basically, 23R1 introduced a new capability for the integration of SC and CCO. This is fine for users who have SC and CCO but it seems that R&D forgot that some people don’t have both. For users with CCO there is a new field on SC that requires a value. There is no value, or opportunity to add a value, for users without CCO.Your user will need to raise a case and take the fix when it becomes available
HI @desilvasachitha ,If you set the status to completed you should then be able to delete the project. You will need to delete the site first.I presume that there have been no transactions of any sort performed against the project. Gareth
Hi @TecSaravR ,I understand where you are coming from. It does suggest that a custom event may be the best option to control the number of hours being recorded against an activity to not exceed the planned/allocated hours.But, this sort of situation always leads back to the philosophical question; should you control or police user’s behaviour. Is it better to monitor their behaviour and use the resulting information to direct re-education opportunities (with a baseball bat if necessary) or come up with a coding solution that controls what they are able to do. It usually depends on who the users are and your appetite for coding.
Hi @Nadim ,Have you tried the ‘Project Reporting for Contractors’ functionality?This would allow you to set the external employees up as having an Employee Category of ‘Contractor’They will have access to the projects but not be considered to be employees and can be excluded from headcount and FTE calculations etc Gareth
Hi @RASFE ,The difference between Required and Not Required Borrow & Payback is whether the supply is surplus ‘now’ or ‘always’.‘Now’ surplus means that the supplying PPSA has more than it needs right now but will need that supply replenished but there is time to do so, i.e. the next demand is further out than the lead time for replenishment.‘Always’ surplus means that the supplying PPSA has more than it will ever need. Over supply or overly large Minimum order quantities mean that there is more stock in the business thais needed and that should be used before buying more.The lead time for a Part is a critical piece of information in all this.The solution is totally reliant on there being reliable and accurate lead times in place for the parts to be shared.It is also a balance of process, cost and convenience. Short lead time parts are usually lower value, so are more likely to be ‘Always’ surplus. Longer LT parts are more likely to be higher value and a lot less likely to be any f
Hi @CM6 ,The problem for the system is that, whilst demands are easy to summarise, e.g. Project CM19102022 wants 3 x Kelly123 on the 01/12/2022, The supply could be from all over the place, One could come from Project CM19102022 stock, another could come from general non-project inventory and a third could come from Project XYZ that has shareability in place with the demanding project.All this would be difficult to display on a single overview screen, especially as it could all change as soon as you run PMRP again. It would be simpler in a Make to Stock environment but in any industry where supply is contingent on a lot of factors it would be very confusing to try and summarise all the supply on to a single screen Gareth Williams
Hi @ProThushA ,Do you have Schedule of Work Defaults setup for the company that your project is in?Is that company your user’s default company?Gareth Williams
Hi @AllJewelP,I would need to know more about your customer and their business requirements before being able to make any suggestions.What sort of industry are they in? What would be in the project quote? Is it for a schedule of work or for a material thing?What sort of customer order is being created? Is it for an inventory or non-inventory part?@GAWIUK
Unfortunately no. It is a bit of an oversight from R&D that it is missing.But, it might be deliberate. Have you tried the expand all option on the Gantt screen? That can be excruciatingly slow
Hello @TecSaravR I am sure that @Dharshankumaar Mahendran advice is sound but I would question why you want to restrict the employee from being able to report their actual hours. Someone has to be the source of the truth. The IFS system assumes that the employee is the one who knows what they were working on and for how long. The planner may have said that the activity should take 10 hours of a resource but it is the employee who will actually know how long they worked. Where should the extra time that the employee worked be booked?If it is a question of billing hours, I would suggest that you accept the actuals from the employee but then update the sales quantity on the transaction to the planned quantity with a configuration Gareth WilliamsPrincipal Consultant
Hi kelli.kaskiw,There have been a number of good suggestions in the thread so far. Flipping the Project’s customer id backwards and forwards between customers as you generate the Project Invoices would work but as has been said it is a delicate process that is open to user error.I wonder if there would be some scope to introduce Sales Contracts (SC) into the mix. You can have as many different SCs with as many different customers connected to a project as you would like. You would get a warning when the project customer and the SC customer are not the same but you can just ignore that. The trick would then be to generate a direct invoice from the SC Application for payment for the value of the booked transaction hours. You could have a project cost/revenue element for each report code and book time for a particular customer onto a particular activity that has been connected to that customer’s sales contract.There would need to be a bit of configuration to smooth and automate elements
Hi SMANUEL,I wonder if it would be worth running a refresh project connections on all the objects in this project to see if there are any data problems with the PCRE. Gareth
Hi Shimy,When I try and create a Work Task planning item in 23r1 when the GRC Indicator is set to “Recalculation Needed” i get the following warning message:Do you see the same message?What happens when you run ‘Calculate Gross Requirements’ and then try and add a work task? Gareth
Hi @Armaghan ,Unfortunately, the MSP to IFS interface does not transfer the %Complete from MS Project to IFS via the standard interface.A design decision was made by R&D to retain complete control of the progress of an activity to be within IFS. The reason being that the various Progress methods that could be applied to an activity (Connected Objects, Consumption Based, Tasks, Template Progress, etc) do not exist in MSP. Rather than allowing just Progress Method = Manual to be updated and all the others not to be, they decided to not allow any transfer of progress from MSP to IFS.A workaround you could develop is to export the data from the MSProject and then import that into IFS using data migration. Or you could modify the interface with a customisation to meet your requirements.Interestingly, the Primavera interface does transfer Progress from P6 to IFS for Manual progress method activities.I hope this information has helped Gareth WilliamsPrincipal Consultant - Projects
HI Alexis,I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question. I think that a Technical Consultant would be better placed to answer the question. Can you move the question to the Framework & Experience (Infrastructure, Cloud, Integration, Dev Tools) forum?
HI Amy, This question is from 2 years ago but better late than never.You can run PMRP without using PNG.You can switch off the Create Project PNG Automatically flag on PNG Default Settings so that the system does not automatically create themThen run the ‘Perform Project MRP per Activity’ processThe results will be visible on the Material Requirements Planning screens that are all filterable by project Hopefully you got the answers you needed before now
Hi,There isn’t anything in core that will do what you want. The ability to upload data straight from XLS to the db has not been made available in Cloud. Your mod didn’t get taken on even though it does sound useful. What does the Apps8 Mod do? Does it hide the conversion to a CSV from and XLS for the user and then just use the standard Create_table_from _file procedure? Perhaps you could uplift that function to the cloud by using the Workflow functionality to automate the steps
I believe that the cause of this problem is that the MS Project Interface module has not been licenced to the environment you are using. Or that the module licence has not been properly initiated.There is a parameter in the build place that needs to be checked:1.go in to build place > customer solution repository2.you will get source code > Select the component = fndbas3. the you open the solutionset.yaml by clicking it > search the component prjmsp = trueIf the component parameter is set to prjmsp=false then you will get the error message that you are seeing.In earlier versions of IFS Cloud the license verification was not invoked for every module. Therefore you were able to access functionality that was not licensed for that implementation. A prime example of this is the PRJMSP module. You could use it even of you had not bought it. Now the license verification has been extended to that module and you need to have it included in your solution set if you want to be able to
