Hi Community,we want to have part_no keys created automatically by the system.One company is already using several ranges for parts in IFS Apps 10 today.Now we need to develop a concept for Part_no ranges on a global level, which is usable for several sites. Challenges: Using a sequence could provide a part_no which is already in use should we put a prefix per company or simply one ascending number or a combination of both how can IFS Apps support this setup? Or do we need to develop something?How do other customers resolve this challenge?Thank you for any feedback / proposals / sharing your concept :-)Regards Martina

Is it possible to add more categories to the Customer Category field? if so How?Kind Regards Mick

Hi, what is the smootest way to receive more in a defined lot/batch Qty on a shop order? In our current process, the output is variable and hard to predict. Whith the same amount of components, we sometimes produce more (or less).As the finished part is lot tracked, we create a Lot nr up with the expected qty. However, if we produce more, we nowincrease the lot size manually increase the Lot/Batch qty manually adjust the components ‘Qty per assembly’ so our stock is still ok receive the correct ammount I believe there must a more user friendly solution for this? Thanks!

Hello All, I’m attempting to grant access to a user to view the contents of Database Task Chains in IFS 10. I’ve granted access on the Permission Set, and the user can now create database chains, however, they are unable to view any chains they have created. The table is blank when they attempt to populate it. I am able to view the contents, but I have the IFSAPP full grants. I’m assuming there is another area the user needs access to, but I do not see anything in the help that indicates what needs grants. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

If I delete/update items/records, where are the data archived?

Hello all,At our company we are interested in using RMB for E-mail invoice. We have realized that we have a “conflict of interest” with this function. We have found the F1 help helpful, and we understand how it works. The problem is following: Note; if entered here, value will be valid for all external communication, e.g. order confirmation and delivery note. IFS only allow for one Document address, i.e. no separate invoice address!The F1 help shows that below hierarchy is used:Customer contact will be retrieved according to the below hierarchy.1. Look at the Customer/Address/Order Info tab for the document address.2. If it is empty, take the primary contact for the customer address defined on the Customer/Contact tab.3. If that is empty, take the primary contact for the customer in general defined on the Customer/Contact tab.4. If it is empty, then it takes the value from the Reference field on the Customer/Order/General tab. As far as we understand, the RMB for E-mail invoice will in

Hi,I am a bit confused by Service Contract vs Request Contract.

We just upgraded to  Apps 10 UPD 14, (from UPD 8) and are now being asked to re-enter our credentials each time a work task is finished.

Hi Everyone I’m trying to install a weblogic delivery and getting a recurring error message. This is on IFS Apps 9.Client version 9.0.60.0 Server version 6.90.21.0. I am getting a “failed executing build target” error. whenever the installer gets to the “installing middleware server message” After checking the pre-installer.log files, I find this notable error message:ORI’ve tried this installation a couple times on different test instances, and get this error on different files as can be seen above. I initially thought this might be a permissions issue, but after checking permissions on the folders running the installer as admin should be granting full access to files and folders. I’ve found online that the java.io.filenotFoundException can be generated when a file is in use and trying to be written to. Do any services need to be stopped in order to apply this delivery? I ran the stop all servers administration script prior to executing, but this doesn’t seem to be enough.  Thanks!Lav

Hello Community, We are using IFS 8.Currently we are using the serialized tracking for the parts. I want to convert some of the serial parts to the Lot batch tracking parts.we have to make the Lot tracking process for one site for now.But the issue is If we change the tracking from Serial tracking to Lot tracked parts in master part for all the site that part will become Lot track enabled and while receiving the Purchase order on the other site user they have to provide the Lot batch no mandatorily as asterisk (*) will not allow them to receive.So can we change this asterisk(*) to N/A so that while receiving the PO user for other site user they do not need to type Lot batch no as N/A each time. Your inputs will be helpful.

Looking for methods anyone has used to handle the following.Apps10 update8On a Shop Order I am manufacturing a serial-tracked, lot-tracked, multi-level tracked part through (4) operations 10, 20, 30, 40. Lot size = 5. Serial numbers 1-5 and Lot/Batch AAA have been reserved for this shop order.My Site is set to auto-build the tracked structures.All component material is issued, all of this material is serial and lot-tracked also. The Shop Order As-Built Structure is completed before I start production.At Operation 20 I want to scrap (1) part, and this part has been physically identified in the shop as Serial No. 1.After performing a Shop Order Scrap for a quantity of (1), I delete Serial No. 1 from the list of reserved serials, which alters the parent-child relations in the system-generated Shop Order As-Built structures for the remaining serial numbers. Note: I deleted Serial No. 1 from the list of reserved serials because during the Report Scrap process on the shop order, I cannot des

Can anyone explain why the following scenarios occur for Inter-Site orders? Scenario 1An inter-site PO is created with 3 parts 2 of the 3 parts are delivered from the inter-site customer order so the order  The 2 delivered parts are moved to Inventory Part in Internal Order TransitWhy are those 2 parts moved there instead of to the inventory location specified on the order? Scenario 2An inter-site PO is created with 3 parts 2 of the parts have a To Location No specified; 1 of the parts does not All 3 parts are delivered from the inter-site customer order  All 3 parts are moved to Inventory Part in Internal Order TransitWhy are all 3 of the parts moved there? Why aren’t the 2 parts with a To Location No moved to that specified location? 

one of our customer is using the DSE (V15.2HF4) and has set up in the DSE session / Logistics :Scheduling with Part Strategy : SA inventory Only. The purpose is that the customer wants the DSE to allocate Activities to a SA only when parts needed are in the SA’s inventory. In alliance we have dependencies between the activity and the part what the customer tells us is that when the warehouse of the material demand is blanked, the dse behaves ok, the system is looking for a SA which has the part in his inventory and let the activitie unallocated if there is no part (this can be seen in the DSE report). but if the customer assigned a specific technician warehouse  to the demand and create a back order then the DSE allocates the activity even if in the warehouse technician there is no part avaible , the customer think it’s not a correct behaviour coudl you confirm or note (according to the customer in V12 thi scenario was working)Thanks for your feedback
