Current Maintenix functionality does not easily allow a way to separate/track subcomponents of a kit. We are looking for a solve to breaking apart kits in Maintenix.Thanks in advance.

Hi, Is there a way to get the customer order reservation scheduled data base task to only reserve to pack size? we currently have stock that is used on both internal and external orders that create a problem during reservation runs.If parts are not relocated when they are split for internal orders we have to zero pick customer orders and then re reserve to the inner pack size which is very manual and time consuming.I have the warehouses split out in IFS and also run picks by storage zones but if a pack size is split in either it will throw the customer picks out. I’ve tried looking under automatic reservations in the site tab and also at the criteria in the database tasks but have had no luck, the closest I have got is an attribute string but I’m not sure on how I would write that and then where it would need to go.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.CheersJim 

I process a counting per report and there was no need to approve or reject any difference. The button “Approval Needed “ remains No. how and where to set a necessary approval for every difference between On hand Qty and Counted QtyThanks

I am creating serialized manufactured items and want to reserve the serial number for a particular shop order.  For the first shop order, for a quantity of 5 I put in a sequence of 1 to 100.  The system tells me I have created more serial numbers than I need and has discarded the ones I do not need.The second shop order comes along also for a quantity of 5 and I want to create 5 new serial numbers.  So when it asks me the range of the serial numbers I require for the second shop order, the following issues arise: There is no easy way for the operator to know what the next valid serial number is supposed to be without searching into part serial history When I put in the range of 1 to 100, the process encounters the first serial number I reserved and stops the sequencing process altogether. I can use the automatic generation of the serial number but that process does NOT allow the operator to pad the serial numbers generated with leading zeroes.Has anyone encountered this issue before an

Hi All,We have a scenario where we want to share a (by the company that ordered the goods) Lot/Batch number with the supplier, that needs to be used in the delivery. This Lot/Batch number needs to be generated or given when creating the purchase order line. Once we are recieving this PO, and assigning na Lot/Batch number at reciept, its not updated towards to PO-line. Can someone explain what the purpuse is of this field, and how to use it?  Thanks in advance for helping. 

Hi Team, Any idea why the Shipment Type "At Picklist Creation" is not creating a Shipment once I create the Picklist at the Customer Order? Here is my test data:   Thank you,Alex 

When adding a complimentary part to a Customer Order rental line, the complimentary part is being added to the sales tab. Expectation per IFS documentation is to have the complimentary part added to the rental tab. IFS cloud 24R2. What is causing this behavior?

Hi AllI have a situation where a POCO revision 0 was created automatically when trying to cancel [through a DR script] the original PO. So far I couldn't recreate it.  What I wanted to check through the forum is that, have you encountered this before? With regards to the automatic POCO setup, 1. Site - Enforce POCO is not on2. Supplier - Use the site settingHence in my opinion, a POCO revision shouldn't be automatically created. What do you think? We are running IFS 24.1.9 Thanks,Asela 

In the new release > ‘New Part’ view there is no tab for ‘Purchase Part’ therefore you can’s add specific Purchase Part Information. This is a step back in utilising this view - is this a bug or a change that has been made?Only when Part Type ‘Purchased Non-Inventory Part’ is selected do you get a view to input ‘Purchase Part’ information Can anyone advise on this?  

Hi,We are using IFSAPP10 and need to trace import/export operations. As an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) we have to provide traceability from importing matierials to exporting the repaired elements. We are asking for this requirement to be implemented in the version we are using that is IFSAPP and up to know we have had no positive answer. This is a major issue to us as we may loose our certification as AEO. I include relevant information form Spain Government https://sede.agenciatributaria.gob.es/Sede/en_gb/aduanas/operador-economico-autorizado-oea.html For re-exports of materials, traceability is required between the method of importation and exportation. An example is the inward processing customs arrangements, under which a good (a yacht in our case) is temporarily imported, upgraded, and re-exported, paying taxes on the value of the applied upgrade. In these cases, the good is imported for a certain value, and upon completion of the repairs, an invoice for the repairs perform

Hi,How can i produce an Inventory Projection report by month to include number of units, pallets and value at the end of each month for a 12 month period?We have tried using “MRP open supply and demand” as a basis but if there are no transactions in a month the table shows zero on the last day of the month there were no transactions in.

We had a customer order with 210 required qty, we intended to deliver only 20 pieces of that customer order, which were manually reserved (with serial numbers) We used the "quick order flow handling" function to issue the delivery note, but the system has automatically reserved and delivered 210 pieces instead of 20.This indicates that not only the reserved items were pick-reported, but also unreserved items, which should not happen in a serial-tracked sales process.Is there any setting which allows this automated delivery behavior or is this a bug in ifs?We are in IFS 22r2  

We occasionally have MRP jobs in error with the following message Error snapshot MRP Supply/Demand. Site/Part/ABC Class ABC/123123123123/C. Source/Order MRP/29578848, *, *, 37. Original error ORA-20112: MrpPartSupplyDemand.EXIST2: The Mrp Part Supply Demand object already exists. We do tick the ‘Stop on Error’ checkbox when running because if there is an error we want to know about it.  We’ve never completely bottomed out what set of circumstances have fallen into place that generate this error and generally put it down to maybe someone updating demand or supply manually or running MRP at the same time.  Does anyone in the community know what particular processes/conflicts are taking place to generate this error? Thanks. 

When a shop order is in status Parked, any material lines which are reserved to the SO is not visible in IFS menu “inventory part in stock reservations”. Moreover, the reserved qty´s (although not yet on a pick list) cannot be moved to a different location unless you unreserve the SO material line.  In contrast, shop orders which are not Parked show reserved lines in “inventory part in stock reservations” and allow for re-location until pick list creation.  We are currently using IFS Cloud 25R2 SU6. The issue with Parked SO´s appeared either when we moved from APP10 to Cloud, or after the last release update.  Can we make Parked SO´s have their reserved lines behave the same as other SO´s?  Screenshots attached for better illustration. 

The combination of Inventory Part Cost Level by Cost per Lot batch with serial tracking "not in stock" is not permitted and is displayed with an error message in the dialogue. Saving is not possible.We do not understand the reason for this restriction and would like to ask whether this was also required in other projects and how it was handled.Thx and best regards

HiWe are looking for any guidance on a method of handling 200ish inbound and outbound articulated lorry deliveries per day across 40 loading bays fed by 80 shipment lanes.  The current solution we are replacing is a custom development done on Microsoft Dynamics that we want to have a solution for with IFS Cloud.  Current thinking is either IFS Dev Studio or a new front end through PHP as we have inhouse skills in that area.Has anybody built anything in this area?  We would like to go for best practice so reaching out to see if anyone has extended in this area.Thanks Jay

Hello IFS Communitywe have had this issue over the years again and again, but never found out what the root cause is. I am hoping that somebody might’ve seen this before.Basically we have a 1 Principal structure, meaning that all orders to external customers are getting entered in the main site (111 in this case) and parts will be sourced internally in the intercompany sites (owned). The goods then are getting shipped from the internal site to the customer directly.Sometimes when this is done, the purchase order line from the principal to the internal site and customer order line to the external customer are not getting updated to “Delivered” when the shipping transaction is done. Anybody got any ideas on why this is getting stuck?  

Hi,    my project’s scope is manufacturing -> Sales -> After Service (EAM)   so, for Customer Order line, we will check “Create SM Object” to make IFS create “Serial Object” automactially when the order get deliveried.    while, we found that after “Delivery”, we cannot undo the delivery, IFS don’t allow to do this(because there is a Serial Object).   Is there any workaroud for this?      thanks

Hei, I have check all related posts about the calculation formula for Auto Safety Stock, still I did not find an exact answer to my question. How is standard deviation per period is calculated in that logic and based on what data? Thanks V

I have a customer that purchases and stores multiple lots of the same part in the same location.  The standard cycle count functionality enforces that the counts be reported by lot in the bin.However, the customer wants to report just one number; the count of ALL the lots of the part number in the same bin location.  If the counted number is different than what the system assumes is in the location as a whole of all the lots in the location, the customer adjusts the count of the oldest lot in the bin.Is there a way to configure the count report and/or the count process to allow for the entry of 1 number; the total of all lots of the same part in the same bin?? Thanks!

Can somebody help me on below.In the below Sales Price List, Sales Price is updates as ‘0’ since the Calculated Sales Price is getting updated correctly. Cost sets are used to calculate the base price. Thank you! 

Hi I have @IFS Community a question regarding the problem with Date format en-US for language en on reports (Purchase order report - done by report designer), with some additional settings, it is possible to manually choose another Date format before printing. Unfortunately there is no simple way to change the settings so that this Date format is chosen automatically; it needs to be done manually. We need to set UK format instead of US format. Can you help? Is there any way to set it up so we do not need to do it manually every time before printing?Let me know please ​ ​@IFS Elite Solution Experts ​@IFS RD Product Management ​@IFS Newbie ​@IFS Lyn ​@IFS User ​@IFS Thank youRegardsNicole Valentine

CLOUD 24R1Scenario: Prerrequisites: Handling unit type with packaging material part associated and ‘Reusable’ option enabled.Go to the Inventory part in stock and select a part that has not handling unit connected. Select the option to Pack according to Handling unit Capacity and enter the quantity to pack for an specific Handling unit type.  The part is packed with an specific handling unit ID. The packaging material of the handling unit type is consumed automatically and issue from the stock If I go again to the Inventory part in stock and select the part that I have just packed and select ‘Unattach from handling unit’ for unpack, the system will not receive again the packaging part into stock to be able to be used again for another packing. The quantity on hand of the packaging material should not be increased?Thank you in advance.
