Hi,To record the Tank Truck Unload, we make an indirect job record in Shop Floor Workbench so that we have data on the average/maximum unloading times per raw material and number of unloads.The problem is that an operator can be working on 2 Tank Truck Unloads at the same time, but in IFS he can't start two indirect jobs at the same time. When he starts the second entry, the first indirect job is automatically closed.Is there a solution to this problem?Best regards,Luísa Quintas

Hi All,We are seeking a solution in IFS App10 based on industry best practice.Situation: During year-end inventory counting, certian amount of customer owned stock has been counted out (complete lot-batch quantity). After sometimes, some stock has been discovered. So, we need to count-in those customer owned stock back to our inventory.What is the best practice in IFS? 

Hi there,I’m trying to manage an intercompany transaction but I receive an error message in incoming customer order so the CO is never created.The setup is done, I have followed the document about intersite setup I found here and I have checked that the Connectivity messages is activated.When sending the PO from Site 1 (Company A) to the supplier (connected to the company B), I receive this error message:However, the EDI coordinator is entered in customer: Any idea?Thanks in advance.

Hi,Is there any mechanism to keep record of supplier evaluations?There is a field in Supplier/SRM Info that can store supplier rating, but is there any rating mechanism like a weighted factor to input the scores for each criteria of supplier evaluation?Is supplier audit a suitable tool for this? It keeps record of standards and business areas being audited and does not seem to be suitable for a long checklist. But even if so, is there any way to record the result of the evaluation for each area as a score so that a total score can be generated as supplier rating? Thanks in advance,

Hi!Is it possible to refill your Remote Warehouse from another Site via Shipment Order?Let’s say we have two Sites in the same Company. Site A and Site B.The central warehouse for the company is located on Site A.Site B does not have a central warehouse, but it has several Remote Warehouses in various locations.Can I somehow set up that the refill should create a Shipment Order from Site A to a Remote Warehouse on Site B? I can do this manually with a Shipment Order.So far I’ve only found that refill can be done with Put Away, but that is within the same site if I remember correctly.We are running 22R1. 

We have a scenario where we send raw material to our outside supplier to make a product, and we are trying to set the Inventory Part as Purchase part type, create product structure so that when we create the Purchase Order, we have the ability to ship the raw materials against the PO. When sending the components to the supplier, we usually send more than what is required to account for the loss of material during transit or some damages at the supplier location. When the material is received, we do sometimes receive the extra components back, or sometimes it is considered as scrap at the supplier. If the material is scrapped, during the PO receipt, is there an option to ‘Scrap Components’ against the PO?Currently, any extra material we are sending on the PO is resulting in transaction posting as ‘M19 - Price Diff Purch’ posting type which is tied up to our material price variance account. We don’t want this to go to our variance account since in reality the material will be scrapped. W

 For Italian invoices we are looking for the possibility to send extra information, i.e. the codice tipo and codice valore. We can see that the IT Einvoice transformer does contain both of them, but we can't find out where to fill the values.Does anybody have experience with this? And more important, willing to share? ;-)

hiI occurred an error in transport task in IFS 7.5 Version.there is a Transport task in System when I want to Execute Transport task, system arise an error which is said “the quantity reserved may not be negative”transport task is for pallet handled part  additional Information:that transport task was Created When Receive a Part From Shop Order to a Pallet delivery Location,Rest of Transport Task were Created in this way ( from same Shop Order), they have no problem 

Good day IFS Community!I am stuck a bit on how IFS is reserving parts and putting them on a pick ticket.  The issues I have are:I have part ABC in location number 123 Quantity = 4000I have part ABC in location number 234 Quantity = 4000 My shop order or customer order will have part ABC in a quantity of 500The pick ticket will direct me to get 200 from location number 123 and 300 from location number 234 even though there is enough in the first location.  I do not believe reservations are playing a part in this.Why? The second issue I have is I am having parts being left out of pulling.  For instanceI have 4 of part ABC in location number 123.I have 24 of part ABC in location number 234.My customer order is for 16.  The pick ticket does not direct me to the location number 123 to “clear” the remaining amount.   We are utilizing IFS Cloud.  I am also in the beginning stages of utilizing storage zones for priority when picking.   

How does one make sure the label includes the part number and lot/batch number on the same label? 

Hello, I noticed on my customer environment (already in place) a lot of background jobs (several thousands in a short period of several days) I do not recognize.Example : I did not find anything with the description and function. Do you know where theses background jobs come from ?It seems to calculate quantities about an inventory part on a specific site but I don’t know which quantity and the objective of theses calculations.I’m sure it is simple but I can’t find it. Thank you

Hello.  I am new to IFS (several weeks) and am looking to implement Visual Planning.  One of the key aspects of successfully maximizing machine load is to start the set up of one job while the previous job is finishing.  To do this, I need visibility into the setup times of each job.  We do not want more than one operation to plan by, so the goal is to get the visual on setup within the bar representing the total time on the job.  Is there a way to do this?     

Good Afternoon,  Is it possible to add a Serial Number manually in IFS?  We recently had AP miss entering a serial number in IFS but now we need to do a RMA without a serial number.  The system doesn’t like that and blocks the RMA. I want to be able to add into the serial history to the part and complete my RMA. Thanks

Hi everyone, I am looking to prevent global inventory of of all stock locations.In normal flow, we are using “Create Count Report”, and we limit the number of stock location by using “Number records to be Printed”. But in case of mistake, for example by going too fast and click on “OK” without setting up the report, all part will be inventored, and the system will crash.So im looking for a way to block this. Thanks for your answers !

Hi Team IFS,I would like to know how can I generate a penalty for late delivery .I mean, if a supplier does not respect the delivery date, he should pay for that extra delay with a new invoice attached to the original one.I know that it is possible to see the delivery time of each supplier but after that how can I create the feature above on IFS Cloud ? 

I’m working with a customer who is interested in utilizing Packing Proposal as well as a  WaDaCo configuration to validate the packing of the Shipment, although, this seems not possible from core.  Scenario:Warehouse worker (picker) will receive a Warehouse Task to pick material to a staging area to await packing.   Warehouse worker (packer) will review the staging area and would like to pack the order using WaDaCo based upon Packing Proposal recommendation Issue:Since Packing Proposal packs the Unattached Shipment Lines into Handling Units, the Warehouse Worker (packer) can no longer use Pack into Handling Unit on Shipment configuration as no unattached Shipment Lines exist anymore.  Since the packer is packaging the box based on paperwork and no barcode scanning, it’s possible they can put the wrong part in the wrong box.Is this on the radar to be addressed?I know it’s possible for the user to forego the Packing Proposal and just use the Max Weight/Volume on the Pack into Handling Un

Hi,We have an inter-site setup as outlined below.Customer order is created at our sales site 102 (supply code: Int Purch Dir)  Internal CO is created at our distribution site 103 (supply code: Int Purch Trans) Internal CO is created at our manufacturing site 104 to fulfill this demand (supply code: Inventory)  Is there any order promising method/technique that would allow on our top level sales site (102) to see the lead time and calculations down two levels to our distribution and manufacturing sites for cases when there is no inventory in either warehouse?We cannot run CTP at site 102 as the supply code at site 103 is not inventory order (Int Purch Trans).Is there any setting/customization that would us to run CTP on our top level sales site without changing the supply code to Inventory Order at site 103? Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you
