Demand driven MRP (DDMRP)

DDMRP is a buffer concept developed in 2011 and introduced in IFS Application 10 and you identify suitable de-coupling points in the structure and place strategic buffers as shock absorbers. DDMRP buffers consist of three color coded zones: Green, yellow and red. The color visualization is important to the DDMRP concept. DDMRP is like a re-order point system with coloured zones and the ability to consider spikes in demand embedded in MRP.

Alternatives for advanced planning board

I believe you have very limited options for the moment apart from advanced planning board. As an option you can use CBS and the scheduling client.

Connect tool functionally issue in Manufacturing control plan

The connect tool is used to connect tools to one or many data points. A specific data point can be connected to none, one or many tools at the same time. A specific tool can be connected to none, one or many data points at the same time. The control plan, or control plan template, must be in the Created status. At least one tool must be defined in the Define tab.Those may be the possible root causes for this issue.

Project time reporting – Employees LOV in Aurena vs IEE

This is possible as in Aurena the logged user can only see specific Emp IDs as the user has only connected to those specific Emp IDs.But basically, in IEE Project time registration standard behavior is bit different. Here we don’t have any of other associated functionalities and restrictions that is based around HR. Whether you have employee access or you can see the employees etc.Hence, this is the standard behavior in IFS.

Optimum 'routing-alternate' for the appropriate Lot Size of Shop Order

We often pre-define product routings based on traditional routing operations for all lot sizes. However, what if the ERP application can select the correct routing for the defined lot size in your shop order? IFS Applications has the ability to simulate ‘Unit Cost Per Alternate’. Now, if we can gain cost benefit via Economies Of Scale, then why not use a selection of routing alternates to cater the varying scale of your operation. Solution: Unit Cost Per Alternate functionality Define several Alternates in your Routing; Simulate Cost Per Unit based on the Cost Set (2); Define alternate recommendation for the varied range of lot sizes. This is a good tool for customers to use in their manufacturing activities. Thank you for sharing this!

Shop floor reporting

If you are using shop floor workbench filters the information will automatically populate in shop floor workbench. There are no system parameters to turn this on or off.

The system is erroneously using Standard Cost instead of Cost from Labor Class

Please first check in your reported scenario if the ‘override employee cost’ is not checked? If this above setting is not checked (‘override employee cost’) then the cost would be retrieved either from HR if not from employee labor class. If the "Use Employee Cost" is checked, then the Costs are to be retrieved from Salary Details of the employee If unchecked, then it must obtain costs from Standard Cost. This has a hierarchy, if standard costs are not defined then gets the costs from labor Class. This is how the functionality has been designed in APP8 and beyond (through the redesign of Shop Floor Reporting solution)

Supplier material on a purchase order

There is no way to use supplier material when you send what is a non-inventory part to the supplier through a shop order outside process. There are a few things you could do. You could list the material as a material to issue to the shop order referencing the outside operation. You can use work guidelines or document text to give instructions to the personnel who must ship the material. You can use document text to print out on the work instructions which you include with your material when you ship it on the purchase order, etc. Me too observed this.Hope this answers your question. Noted and good question.
