Hi,We have a setup where site A place purchase order to Site B and site B purchase from external supplier for direct delivery to site A, see below picture.We have tried different setups in supply chain matrix to define transport lead time from external supplier to demand site A but so far without success. Does anyone have an idea if this is possible and if so how?
Our scenario is like below example.Manufactured top level part number “10”. Consists of semi-finished manufactured part “20” that consists of purchased component “30”. MRP is used to explode demand.Part status used:Part No 10: A (Demands Allowed) Part No 20: E (Demands Not Allowed) Part No 30: A (Demands Allowed)I can register demand on Part No. 10 (as expected). I have nothing in stock and MRP will create a SO requisition for Part No. 10.When I try to create SO from req., system will present an error message “Demand for shop material allocation part not allowed…”. This is fine and logical but, in our scenario, too late!We need an early warning that we will run in to this problem before we try to create a shop order. It could e.g. be that part No. 30 is out of stock and has a long lead time.I have tried MRP action proposals, MRP background job log and Inventory part availability exceptions. Since demand is not allowed for Part No. 20 it will be ignored and not present any messages. Sam
We have a scenario where we sometimes need to rework a purchased component.For this purpose we use repair shop order with repair structure and routing. This works fine except that no cost for machine/labor time is captured by shop order cost. Only purchase cost related to cost template used for part (P-140 in my example) are captured.As a test I created a manufactured structure/routing for same part number. Then created and reported shop order. This works fine, system captures labor and machine cost despite same cost template (P-140) is used!I tried different settings to get this to work also for repair shop order. The only way I managed to capture cost is by adding cost bucket (e.g. 300) used for manufacturing to template P-140. This is not a good solution and causes a risk for wrong cost in cost calculation.Any ideas if/how this can be solved?
In older versions of IFS, using Shop Floor Employee reporting, there was a function to automatically assign an indirect job to an employee when clocked in for time and attendance. This indirect job was also started automatically when a shop order operation was stopped.Is there a way to solve this in current setup with indirect jobs and Shop Floor Workbench? Our scenario is that we have some warehouse workers where main task is warehouse work (defined as indirect job) but in some cases they also report on shop orders. We want the indirect job to be automatically assigned and only report deviations from this, e.g. reporting of shop order (start and stop) from SFWB.
We face a situation when we change Part Type from Manufactured to Purchased in Part Cost. Cost template is changed and cost calculated is correct. However we noticed that Structure multilevel still presents components from Manufactured structure type despite part type is changed to purchased where no components exists. Is this correct behavior? Reason why we discovered this is that an information message was presented “Zero Cost Parts Exists”. This message is not applicable for the purchased part, only for the manufactured structure that is no longer in use. Very confusing for user. Only way to get around this, as we have identified, is to create a new revision for part. Is there another better way to handle this scenario?
It frequently happens that we have a need to adjust and add same indirect result or clocking for many employees. The ways we have have found always requires this to be entered by each Employee. This is very time consuming when you have a big group of employees. Is there a way to do this more efficient, e.g. mark multiple employees and automatically assign same clocking/result?
LoV in WADACO seems to be limited to 100 records. I guess this is in general but we noticed in Unplanned Issue Work Order and LoV for WO No. Is this hard coded or can it be set to show more records?
Hi, We are currently evaluating use of Cost type and Cost Source indicators. We run into problem where Cost Types are missing in “Cost Details Basic Data/Cost Source Indicator Definition” for some of our companies. I cannot find out where and how this is defined. See below where one company (935) have all cost types while company 942 only have one cost type. Does anyone know?
