Is it possible to not have Document Title default to the file name

I am working with a customer that prefer to force the user the enter the Document Title when attaching a document to an IFS object, rather than have it default to the original file name.  They are looking to define a file naming convention on their documents and can’t always ensure the original file will follow it.  They primarily will be using “New” command in Document Attachments, then either dragging and dropping or navigating to the desired file.  Ideal state would be after selecting the desired document, the Title would remain blank, and user would have to type a Title.  I have looked around and don’t see any way to achieve this.The best approach I can suggest is when creating a new Document, in the dialogue box enter the Document Title first, then drag/drop or browse to the desired file.  Write work instruction and train users to do it this way.  The manually entered title will be retained if user follows this process.

Change part type from Manufactured to Manufactured Recipe

I have a customer attempting to change existing parts with Part Type Manufactured to Manufactured Recipe.  Whatever we try, we get an error “The state of this parts structure prevents the structure from being converted”.  We tried setting the Structure to Obsolete, putting in Phase Out Dates, making a new Rev with a structure Tentative, nothing works.  Is it possible to do this, hoping we are missing the right steps/process to allow this to happen.  We can’t delete the Product Structure header as it has been made Buildable.  They are in Apps 10.

In Page Designer, when expanding out contents to show the fields, there is an option titled “Default to Previous”.  Can anyone explain what this controls or what it does.  I have not found anything in the technical documentation.  Screenshot is attached for reference.Thanks!

Project Invoice from Invoice Plan - what does selector for Ignore Customer's Credit Info validitations do

When creating a Project Invoice from an Invoice Plan in Cloud 23R1, there is a selector in dialogue box “Ignore Customers Credit Info validations”.  Can anyone explain what this selector does? We are not seeing any difference with it selected or unselected. I have experimented with Customer Credit limit so it’s exceeded, and put the Customer on Credit Block.  I see no difference in the users steps with this selected or unselected.  I assume perhaps it is intended to auto-select the “Ignore Warning” option on the final dialogue box so user does not have select the pencil to go to edit mode, select Ignore Warning, select Done, then select Create Invoice.  But that is not happening.  Might this be a bug?First dialog box, with selector. Next dialogue box, where user can edit the line and select Ignore Warning to proceed with Invoice.

How is Project Delivery data handled when upgrading to Cloud

Project Delivery is no longer available in Cloud.  For customers that have previously used Project Delivery in earlier versions, what happens to that data when they upgrade to Cloud.  Is it converted to Project Deliverables?  The Release Notes only indicate that Project Delivery is no longer available, nothing is mentioned about how data conversion is handled, if at all.  Working with one customer that has history in Project Delivery and concerned about losing it when they upgrade.

Looking for suggestions to see and work with recipe percents in shop orders

Working with recipes using Percents in Cloud 21R2 that is working fine.  However when a shop order is created for the recipe there is no references to the original recipe %’s, just “Quantity Per” and and total qty required of each component.  In this case the machine operator needs the percentages as they use them in machine set-up.  We can of course print the standard recipe for reference, but we have several scenarios that are presenting big challenges, any suggestions or previous solutions for these would be very appreciated.Some things that complicate this - we have a main recipe or product structure for the product, which includes a phantom component that is a recipe.  And is some cases there can be more than one phantom recipe component, with different percents in the finished good.  So the math can get pretty complicated when trying to manipulate a shop order and material quantities if adjustments are made.  We really want to keep the Phantom Recipe concept for ease of maintenan

Different UOM for same part in different sites with Engineering Transfers

Working with a US customer that is about to start manufacturing one of their products in the UK, and have lots of parts in the BOM’s with UOM like feet, inch, gallon, lb, ounce, etc.  They asked about having different UOM’s in the UK versus US and how could this work with Engineering Transfers to the different sites.  They use Engineering Parts & Engineering Transfer today.  They have the full CAD integration to IFS, and their drawings are also in the IFS doc man database.It is possible to have a different Inventory Part UOM versus the Part Master, as long as it’s same type of UOM (length, volume, weight) and the conversion factor is there.  Inches to centimeters for example.  However when it comes to Engineering Transfer, IFS does NOT do the BOM quantity conversion if the site’s UOM is different than the Engineering Part UOM. You get a warning on the different UOM, and it transfers the BOM with same Qty as on the Engineering BOM.  You would have to convert it manually after, or us

Control Plan Acceptance Sampling Customizing

Has anyone done any customizations or modifications with respect to Acceptance Sampling set-up for Control Plans?  Specifically, I am looking to see if anyone has used the ANSI version of Acceptance Sampling versus the ISO 2859 standards used in IFS.  Also the ISO 2859 standards only apply to Data Points of type “Attribute”.  I have a scenario where we would like to use the ISO Standard to calculate the sample size, but would like to use that on a Variable data point.  Currently this is not possible, has anyone found a work-around or done a modification to enable this?  Thanks!
