Hello Community,
I am looking for standard IFS Cloud functionality to support a customer requirement within the shipment process.
The customer would like to perform a container inspection before shipment delivery. Users should complete a questionnaire with approximately 20 inspection points and record the results directly in IFS.
Examples include:
- Door frame in good condition (Yes/No)
- Ventilation holes open (Yes/No)
- Floor humidity (%) (numeric value)
- Overall condition (Good/Fair/Poor)
The questionnaire contains a mixture of Yes/No answers, numeric values, comments and predefined selections.
I have already reviewed Approval Routing and related approval functionality. However, this appears to be focused on approval decisions (Approve/Reject) and does not seem suitable for capturing structured inspection data such as numeric values, comments or multiple inspection attributes.
As an alternative, the inspection process could be performed in a third-party application, with the completed inspection report attached to the shipment in IFS Cloud. However, the customer's preference is to complete the inspection directly within IFS if suitable standard functionality already exists.
Before considering a customization, I would like to understand whether IFS Cloud offers any standard functionality for this scenario, for example through:
- Questionnaires
- Checklists
- Quality Management Inspections
- Control Plans
- Other standard inspection or survey-related functionality
Has anyone implemented a similar process in standard IFS Cloud, particularly in connection with Shipments, Load Consolidation or Shipment Delivery?
Any suggestions, experiences or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Tristan
