Material consumption on Production Schedules

We are using production schedules for production reporting in IFS cloud. Our desired behavior is to have material consumed in the order that it was received into the inbound location. Our understanding is that IFS uses “receipt date” which is when that incoming material was produced (or received if raw material).  Our only solution right now has been to assign a different expiration date to the material that was moved into that location so we can tell it the proper order. This uses the priorities then in warehouse management. This is not ideal as it requires more interaction and management of expirations. Is anyone aware of another option for how we can consume material based on when it was moved into the inbound location for that production line?

Netting Excess Supply on Capability Check

I can’t seem to get the capability check to consider excess supply (a purchase order) during its calculation. I have a [level 2] purchased component that is included within the critical path determined by the capability check. I then created a PO for this part to arrive in tomorrow. When I re-ran the capability check it does not considering this purchase order. It is using the lead time of the this purchase part, even though we have “excess supply” arriving tomorrow. I have tested using both Inventory Part settings DOP Netting = “Netting” and “Auto Netting”. Neither setting for my purchase component is correctly netting against the PO. I also tried applying these setting for all parts in the multi-level structure. The capability check still was not netting against the excess supply / PO. IFS documentation states the netting applies to both excess inventory and excess supply quantities. Does this hold true for DOP Netting and Capability Check Netting? Is there another setting / field I

Volume Division in Storage Capacity Requirement Group

Hi, When defining the storage capacity requirement group, there is an assistant for defining the quantity per location based on the location volume.The calculation here is then recorded into the ‘Qty Per Volume’ field in the main page.However, when fetching these values into the table, there seems to be another calculation happening from the framework side. When examining the query, value is being divided by 1 and fetched to the table,Any insight into why this is happening from both a functional and technical standpoint would be much appreciated. Thanks, and regards,Randev

Kanban incorrectly calling for parts when material is available

We are seeing an issue where Kanban creates a Transport Task for parts when there is adequate in the work area floor location.  This is not a repeating request, it only creates one Transport Task that is not needed so the warehouse team end up essentially doubling the max quantity of floor material which in some areas is not possible.We are using forwarding for the parts to the work floor, such that when the kanban runs it for a part needed at location X, it creates a Transport Task from the warehouse to the staging area, and then as soon as that Transport Task is executed IFS automatically creates another Transport Task to location X.  This is working fine apart from the fact that it creates this single extra TT for each part flowing through the staging area.After stepping through the code we can see that IFS is not looking at the floor area to calculate the quantity the parts of hand, it is looking at the staging area instead. Example:Floor area X has physical quantity of 20 IFS also

Missing Group/Sum option in IFS Cloud. Will this be included in a release in the near future?

Is Group/Sum option in Advanced Search functionality available in IFS Cloud version? There are several topics posted covering this topic. As the below entries were few years old, I was hoping something might have changed in between. Can I know that, will this Group/Sum option included in upcoming cloud version. If it is already available, is there any material on how this is done?Missing Group/Sum option in IFS Cloud #GSDTECH# | IFS CommunityAdvanced search (i.e. group, count, sum, etc) | IFS Community One of IFS customers has raised this question again and In App9 & App10 user had the possibility to conduct advanced searches by grouping values and summarizing values in table views. They wants to know whether this will be included in a release in the near future. Business Impact: User will have to use longer methods to find information that is required. Thank You & Best Regards,

Hide Parts in IFS - Based on the Description

Dear All Hope you are doing great - ready for the weekend. Just checking if someone is using a setup in IFS where we can hide some parts according to the part description  [containing part description text **DO NOT USE** for instance] . For instance, we have obsolete parts at N-Sea with the part status obsolete or inactive. But still cannot hide them when creating demands on projects. IFS will of course not let us create demands for such part statuses. But ideally I want to hide those parts when fetched onto a list of values. I tried several configurations like custom fields and saved searches according to the status. But seems hiding them on new demands are not supported. Of course I might be able to do this with a customization in IFS. But before that, I am trying to figure out if I have missed a trick. Happy Weekend! Asela

Insufficient forecast quantities available to satisfy order. Please rebook order for exact quantities and dates

HI,    I have entered a value in the MRP Spare Part Forecast to create demand for the part. However, when I try to enter a Customer Order with a quantity higher than the forecast quantity, the system does not allow me to save the line. What is the functionality of this validation, and is there a way to bypass it without modification?  Regards Yukthila

Processing Supplier Consignment Invoices

Is there a simple way of processing Supplier Consignment stock invoices? Currently we provide the consumption reports to the suppliers but to match the invoices when they come through we have to search for all the different part and PO numbers and tick line by line what to match. This could be across multiple invoices and POs. Is there a function whereby you can select the receipts to match based on the consumption/reported date? With the aim that we’d request the supplier provide 1 invoice per consumption report.

andomly changing the Handling Unit ID associated with a Shipment Line.

Wrong Tax code default on Sales Quotation Line

We recently migrated from V9 to V11 Cloud and the Tax Codes per Tax Class setup doesn’t seem to work anymore for the sales quotations.A specific example is: Company is in Netherlands,  customer in from Germany.We expect to have the default tax code 000000S as per the below setup, but instead we have the VAT of Netherlands ( 21%):  Important mentions: the code that defaults is not set at Company Level, nor at site level, nor at sales article level, nor at customer level. We don’t understand where the default value is coming.Is the Tax Codes per Tax Class setup no longer enough for sales quotation in V11?It works for Customer Orders. Thanks

Cost allocation for labeling at point of dispatch

Hi,We have many products codes that need specific carton labeling for different customers. Currently we manage this by creating a new product code for each customer requirement.Our preferred option would be to hold all of the stock under one product code and apply customer specific box labeling at the point of pick and dispatch as customer orders are received. In IFS10 how would the cost for the labour and label cost be captured and added to the sales part cost?  There should be a finance option in IFS to be able to manage this process?

Intersite - Charges flowing from Supply Site to Demand Site

Hi Team,My Customer is using Intersite Flows (Drop shipping). They will take Customer Orders from the Demand Site, and then the Supply Site will coordinate the Freight. It will have Freight Charges added to the Customer Order at the Supplier Site.ALL invoicing will take place from the Demand Site, which means we need the Freight Charges added to the Customer Order on the Demand Site. It there a way to make this happen?  (PS: We are in 24R2) Thank you,Alex
