Hi Using App’s 10 I am trying to auto receive inventory parts into a predefined line side location ready for assembly once the operator has closed and approved the last operation. I have been told the best way to achieve this is by using work centre inbound and out bond location.can anyone explain how i should use the work centre in and outbound location for the below example?ExampleI have 3 sub assemblies which make up one finished part, all sub assemblies are built in a different work centre but need to go the same line side location so they are available to be used in the top level final assembly. Once the final assembly has been processed in WC4 the finished part is moved to dispatch for delivery. does the OUTBOUND location on WC1, WC2 and WC3 need to be the same as the INBOUND location of WC4 Will the system try to locate all part which have a last operation in either WC1,WC2 or WC3 to WC4 or can you select individual parts only to be located in WC4. Do you need to change any of
Hi i am using App 10 and would like can you have more than one default location connected to one inventory part?currently we have one location connected to teh inventory part so when goods in recieves the part into stock it will automatically suggest the default location (which is our paint store), but when we want to move inventory from the paint store to a shop floor location in the ‘Move inventory part’ window it automatically suggests the default location GSPS46. I want the system to show the storemen the other location the part can be moved to rather than them having to manually input the desired location number 18044.Is this possible?regardsJamie
morning can any help shed some light or even a guiding principles in what direction to set (backwards or forwards) when scheduling shop orders ?I understand how each schedule direction effects the start and end date but am unsure of when to use either direction.currently we use backwards scheduling for all shop order but we have an arrear of shop order going 4 months into the past.To me logic says forwards scheduling because you can not start a shop order in the past so why plan it in the past, but i could be wrong.Appreciate any help/ advice or opinion on this topicregardsJamie
Hi we are using Apps 10 and have recently connected the material to the operation but have had issues with shop floor operator inputting an extra digit and over issuing material (in this instance it was paint) to the operation.is there away you can prevent this or even better set a tolerance of allowable over issuing for example a maximum of 10% of the required usage can be over reported?regardsJamie
Hi I am using IFS Apps 10 and trying to pre-define were material is reserved and issued from. On the product structure i have set the ‘Reserve/ Issue Method’ to reserve and Backflush but this reserves material from any available location. Am i correct in thinking for it automatically reserve material from a predefined location I need to input the location in the ‘Reserve/ Issue from Location’ tab?If this is correct would I also need to define the ‘Default Location’ on the component inventory part as the same location so when the component material is received into stock it will automatically suggest locating the material into its default location? kind regardsJamie
Hello I have recently noticed that our IFS Apps 10 is scheduling operation out of sequence, as below op 30 ‘Inspect and NDT to checklist’ has a planned op start date of 30/04/2021 which is 3 days before op 10 ‘Tack’ up is planned to start 05/05/2021. I have looked at the routing below for the part and can not see anything that jumps out as being out of the ordinary and the operations are in the correct sequence. both work centres are set up using Finite capacity, utilisation set at 100% and concurrent operations set to ‘Allowed -group start in sequence’ as below.does anyone know what could be causing the system to schedule out of sequence? regardsJamie
Hi I am fairly new to IFS Apps 10 and would like to know how to stop operations from scheduling to start in parallel in the same work centre? Within this work centre we only have 2 shop floor employees and have tried to replicate this by setting the ‘resource quantity for calculation’ 2 and set the ‘capacity calculation bases’ to group.How do it get it to schedule so the same operation doesn't plan to start in parallel?regardsJamie
Morning We are using IFS apps 10 and I have been reviewing work centre capacities and have noticed large discrepancies in average capacity and demonstrated capacity but cant understand why?the work centre below is for a welding work centre with an average capacity of 7.15 hr but a demonstrated capacity of 39.6 hr. Available and theoretical capacity are both showing 7.75 hr per day.When reviewing the resource detail the capacity calculation base is set at group with a resource quantity of 5 to reflect the 5 welders working within this work centre (all with the same labour class) and group utilisation at 90% . does any one know the cause of the discrepancy? kind regards Jamie
