Hello all, I have a question related to Part Cost on an inactive part. I have a production part that was marked inactive two years ago. When this part is pulled into the Estimating module in IFS, the part cost calculated is different than that of the Part Cost screen in IFS for the PN. Given that it was marked inactive two years ago, would this be the reason that there is a difference in the costs? I have no found any documentation on how IFS behaves when part cost calculation is run against an inactive part. The estimate itself appears to be accurate, and Part Cost calculation has been run against the inactive part. Our labor class costs have changed since the part was marked inactive, and I am curious if there is some legacy cost values that would cause the difference?Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Hello all, We currently have several Routings with Outside Supplier operations. At certain times, the Supplier with create scrap while processing our parts. On the PO, I see a column that appears to reference Supplier generated scrap, however, I am not sure where in IFS this should be reported at. I cannot key it in on the PO and can find nothing in the help. Any guidance would be appreciated!
Hello all, I have a question regarding MRP planning for a purchased item. I believe the issue is related to the PO receipt dates, which is causing MRP to not generate PORs and run negative. A firm PO was created on 11/1/2022. However, the PO line was changed to 3/30/2023The PO is showing on IPAP at 3/30/2023with an MRP Applied Date of 1/12/2023.The demand goes negative this month and MRP is not creating PORs to correct the issue (20 day lead time item).My question is, because the PO header Receipt Date is November 2022, is IFS not creating PORs because it believes this material will be here?I am not familiar enough with the MRP interworking to know if this is correct or not, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Hello all, I have noticed some behavior with my IFS Aurena saved search. I am attempting to create a saved search in the Shop Floor Reports screen where the Created By User excludes our shop floor terminal accounts. I created the does not end with and used the shop floor naming convention with the wildcard. This does return the correct values, but when I save the search, it drops that parameter. I have no idea why it’s doing that. I have the same search saved in IEE (Apps 10 UPD 12) and it works fine. During save:When I run the search, the field is returned blank.I’m not familiar enough with Aurena to understand why it would do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all, Is it possible to display the Warehouse on the WADACO interface when using the Move Inventory Part? We are seeing a lot of confusion when using our handheld scanners because certain warehouses have similar location naming conventions. Currently, it is only displaying the Bay - Row - Tier - Bin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, We are currently running IFS Apps 10 UPD 12, and there is a field in the Customer Order Lines screen that does not have a help section reference. Shipment Connectable Qty.I’m not sure how this field should be interpreted, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, I have noticed system behavior that I am not able to correct. We use the PO Change Order function in IFS. If a PO is in a Released status, you cannot connect a Project Activity, the system indicates you must use a Change Order. However, when you create one, there is no location on the Change Order to attach the project connection. I do not understand this design. Is there a way to update a PO and connect a project when the PO is in a Released status? As of now, the only workaround I have found is to cancel the PO and recreate it in a Planned state. We are using Apps 10 UPD 12. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Hello all, I have not been able to find info on this, and I was curious if user created saved searches in Apps 10 IEE can be migrated to Aurena, or do they all have to be recreated? Thank you.
Hello all, I have created an event action to alert a group of associates when an Analysis fails. On the form, I have a custom field that allows the user to select their name from an LOV. I would like to pass this information along in my event action. However, that requires I select the CFT table. It appears to add the current items to my Custom Attributes, but when i save the record, I receive an error that the trigger cannot be created. I’m not very familiar with creating an event action that uses different tables, which leads me to believe I need to add some information to the Custom Attributes. Any guidance on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all, I received a request to a mL (milliliter), and I am wondering what would the correct method for adding this custom UoM? Would a Factor or Base UoM need to be added? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hello All, I am unsure if the functionality exists in IFS, but I am curious if it is possible to drive Shop Order creation based on demand for a certain part number. As an example we make Part A and Part B that reside in the product structure of Part C. We would like to have the system drive demand to both parts regardless of what the on hand inventory is for the part that MRP did not plan for. So, if MRP drives demand for part A, we would like for it to also drive demand for Part B at a specific ration (2 to 1 as an example). The reverse then being that if MRP drives demand for part B, there is also a Shop Order created for Part A (at a ratio).
Hello, I have been looking for help on the FIFO picking in IFS (for Customer Orders and Shop Orders). I am looking to confirm that when IFS generates a picklist, that it is directly the associate to the oldest stocking record so that we are using our oldest material and shipping our oldest product. Is there a way to verify this is properly configured in IFS Apps 10? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Hello all, I am hoping some has an answer to this IFS system behavior. I have noticed that when I create an Estimate, and then increase the Revision, the system appears to reorder the Estimate Structure.Below is revision 1: Here is revision 2: As you can see it appears to have reordered the part numbers under the structure. This creates quite a bit of confusion when reviewing estimates as everything is now out of order. I have tried resetting and refreshing the node, but it does not correct them. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hello, I am hoping for guidance on an issue. Currently, I have a single supplier performing an OS paint operation on a part we manufacture. There is a need for dual source, and my hope was to setup a Supplier Split for the OS of 50/50 between the two suppliers. However, I am unsure how to setup the routing. There is one internal operation, and the part is then shipped to the Supplier for paint. When I setup the supplier split and SFPP record, MRP continues to only create POs for the one supplier. I have tried to setup an alternate Routing that defines the new Supplier, but MRP will only create POs for the single supplier, even though the split is defined. Is this type of setup possible? Any help would be appreciated!
Hello, I am attempting to delete an inventory location from IFS, but it states that the location is used in Shop Order Material Allocation. I have not seen this message before and I am wondering how I can search for these 12 items to remove them from the system. Any guidance would be appreciated!
Hello, I have setup Employee Qualifications setup to prevent unqualified users from clocking into a Shop Order for a specific Part Number. However, I have noticed if an unqualified person logs into any Team, they can clockin and report pieces on a job they are not qualified to run. I have checked the forum and I found a post that seems to indicate this is correct system behavior. However, that seems contradictory, as what would be the point of setting up qualification requirement if you can simply bypass them by joining a random team? Do qualifications not get considered when a user is logged into a team or is there a way to enforce that for Team clocking? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Hello, I have noticed that my PM Calendar Generation has stopped in 2021. Prior to that, the Maintenance Plans were generating without issue. I have checked the Plan, which is set for 2023: The PM Actions are setup with different intervals:The Calendar itself is valid:However, the system has stopped planning them:I have noticed that if I RMB and select regenerate plan, it does work:The scheduled database task is setup with the following parameters, which have not been changed since it was configured originally. I’m not sure what the issue could be at this point. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, I have attached documents to several task definitions in the HCM onboarding. I am able to see them, however, when they are assigned to an employee and they view the tasks, I do not see where the document can be viewed. User view: Task definition view: When logged in as myself, I can see the attachment option under Onboarding Program Details for that user, but I do not see any documents.
Hello, I am new to permission set/project grants in IFS Aurena. I have applied the basic Aurena grants, so my users can sign in without issue, however, I am having trouble granting them access to actual pages in Aurena. As an example, I would like to grant users access to My Onboarding, so they are able to see their current onboarding progress and any tasks they or the organization will be completing. I believe I granted the necessary projection and applied the permission set is already applied the user. However, when they login, they cannot see that module. Any guidance on how to complete this process would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, I am attempting to setup onboarding, and from what I have read, it is possible to attach documents to a given task. However, when I navigate to the section, I do not see where this option is. Is some additional setup required to allow document attachments in Aurena?
Hello, I have begun to use the IFS Aurena interface, and I am unsure how a user is created and how Permission Sets are applied to the user. I am able to find Solution Manager and search for users, but that appears to be the extent of it. Is the IEE setup and option not available in Aurena? From the Users screen, there seems to be very little that can be done. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, Currently, we are using a remote warehouse for offsite storage of some of our sub assemblies. The issue we are facing is that from IPAP we do not have visibility into what is in our main warehouse vs. what is at our offsite storage. This becomes problematic because we may attempt to run a Shop Order, but not have the actual supply needed. I have attempted to use Availability Controls, but while setting the location to nonnet, the parts now show correctly in IPAP (what is on hand vs. available to use) but MRP attempts to drive demand to make more of the sub components. When in actuality, we just need to move them from our remote warehouse to our main facility. I am curious if there is a solution in IFS that will allow us to see the “unavailable” qty from IPAP, but not drive MRP demand unless our actual on hand is triggered based on planning parameters? Thank you!
Hi all, I am hoping to clarify an item regarding component qty per assembly in IFS Product Structures. In our environment, we laser cut sheet metal. When setting up the Product Structure, I was hoping to confirm that I am configuring them properly. Below is the current setup I am hoping to validate:Component part: Qty per Assembly - 3(lb)This is essentially the part weight (3lb). Reading the help, that is my assumption as to how it should be setup. I need 3lb of material to produce my part. 1lb of it is the scrap skeleton that is left over after laser cutting the part out.By-Product:steel scrap - 1(lb)This is the skeleton of the part that is left over. In total 4lb of material is used: 3lb is the part and 1lb is the scrap as a result of the laser process, which is then sold. Any guidance eon the setup would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, I am attempting to setup volume storage on Inventory Locations and define qty per volume on Inventory Parts, I have configured two bins with 20 and 25 bin values. My assumption is that the total storage between the two bins would be 45. However, it appears to only be 25 max. With both locations empty, if I attempt to move 20 units (I've setup the part for 1 pc = 1 volume), the system states that I can only put 5 units into F2.I’ve verified this by moving a total of 25 units into the locations. I believe I’m not understanding the setup of this functionality in IFS, and the help does not seem to clarify how exactly this should work. Any guidance on the proper setup would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, I have not found much detail on this functionality, but I am hoping there is a way to accomplish this. In many instances, we may have a single PO with multiple receipts against it. In the event we need to perform a return of defective material to the Supplier, it appears only 1 MRB case can be created against 1 receipt. If the total returned qty is spread across multiple Receipts, can they be combined into one Receipt that the MRB case can be opened against? Receipt 1 - 50 pcsReceipt 2 - 25 pcsTotal qty needed to be returned to Supplier - 75. Ideally, 1 MRB case is opened for the total qty, and is attached to both Receipts. The only work around I have found is to move the material to an MRB Inventory Location and open an MRB case against that amount. This unfortunately disconnects the process and you are logically managing the inspection/disposition of the materials. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
