Hello Community,We are using IFS 9.I have a question for labor and operation trasactions. for subcontracting transaction -WIPFROMSUB normally Material cost is getting added if it is the first subcontracting transaction. But I have found that for 4 transaction there was material cost added in this transaction.but for last two transactions its manufacturing cost comprises of Material cost plus subcontracting cost. I want to know why this subcontracting cost is getting added particularly for these last two transactions and how it getting calculated. there were two Subcon operations happened .no in-house operation.so the sequence is 1st operation -WIPTOSUBSUBCONTRWIPFROMSUB 2nd OperationWIPTOSUB 1st operation -SUBCONTRWIPFROMSUB  2nd OperationWIPTOSUB 1st operation -SUBCONTRWIPFROMSUB  2nd OperationWIPTOSUB  2nd OperationSUBCONTRWIPFROMSUB 2nd OperationSUBCONTRWIPFROMSUB  1st operation -SUBCONTRWIPFROMSUB     here material cost Plus subcon cost added. before for 1st operation only material

We have a client that is using lot/batch tracking, and we saw a lot number removed by the automated user and put back in by the same automated user a few seconds later with a different lot number with a new unit price.  We are using weighted average valuation.  Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Hello All, I have a question about part grouping in Demand Planning Client. if we group the parts based on parts characteristics like Hardware, Electrical components, Fabrication parts.How and where can I see the out output of published forecast? Can we separate the forecast output based on Part Groups? I am trying to understand if I have to create a report or lobby in App10 to see the end result of each groups forecast

Hi Everyone, We are using APP7.5I’m hoping someone can help, and this is just something really obvious I have overlooked. When we revise something our parts are backward compatible (meeting fit, form, function criteria). Our stores will then pick stock from oldest to newest. Is there a way to find out at a point in history which part revisions we had in stock?So for example I would want to find out what stock we had at what revision of part no AB1234 we had on 01/11/2016?

I have a client that is asking, for lot /batch control, when an automatic cycle count is run on a location for Part A based on days since last count, if there are other instances of Part A in stock under different lot/batches, they want to have a count created for all of the lots of Part A.  I first thought about Storage Zones but they may store different chemicals in same or different locations.  Any thoughts?

Hi! We implemented IFS apps 10 in my company just over a year ago. We still have many problems but one of the biggest is the system is constantly asking us to buy things we know we don’t need. (Garbage in garbage out of course!) My specific question is, ‘What is MRP Planned demand’. In the I P A P screen, it’s easy to understand why something is needed when the demand object is a shop order, or a customer order… But it’s baffling to continually see MRP planned demand. Especially when we know it’s not real demand. What does this mean?    

Hello All,I’m looking to see how I can create a parent handling unit and pack multiple existing HU’s at once (with a push of a button so to speak)At this stage, the handling unit structure was already created at the shop order stage and was simply transferred into the shipment after the order reporting the picking automatically.From the above picture I would manually go to content and structure to add a new handling unit, and then select all existing HU’s and change the parent HU’s.  Again I’m wondering if there is an easy way to do this more efficiently. It does not have to be at the shipment screen.  **Using IFS Aurena Apps 10 UPD 14 Any kind of help is greatly appreciated! Thank You,Jefferson

Currently, there are 3 options available within the categories field on a customer record:Customer  Prospect  End Customer Is it possible to define additional categories within this field? For example, Indirect customer (already buying / using the product – but don’t want to sell directly to them) or Individual (Sole operator / no Company – don’t want to sell directly to them). 

Is there a way I can generate a report showing all the stock items which didn’t move last year? or what is the easiest way to achieve this result?

Hello Community, We are using IFS 8.Currently we are using the serialized tracking for the parts. I want to convert some of the serial parts to the Lot batch tracking parts.we have to make the Lot tracking process for one site for now.But the issue is If we change the tracking from Serial tracking to Lot tracked parts in master part for all the site that part will become Lot track enabled and while receiving the Purchase order on the other site user they have to provide the Lot batch no mandatorily as asterisk (*) will not allow them to receive.So can we change this asterisk(*) to N/A so that while receiving the PO user for other site user they do not need to type Lot batch no as N/A each time. Your inputs will be helpful.  

Hi, We’d like to set the quantity in stock to zero for all the part in stock in our test environment. Is there any procedure to do so ? BR. Baptiste.  

Hi community, we are working with Apps 10, Update 6, trying to count in a serial configured part in inventory of one site (initial count in during cutover).But we get this error:Not possible to count serial xxx, the current position is inFacility and the latest transaction identified for this serial is Placed in object xxx at site.We are aware that there are issues to move serial objects from one to another site and think that this might be the reason.Did anyone in the community face this error and got it fixed, maybe using an sql update?Thank you for your feedback!

Hello.We have an issue on our DOP structure’s due dates.In our example, a DOP header has a Start date at 27/05/2022 and, when the structure has the statut “created”, every lines of it has a Due date at the same date of 27/05/2022. After that, we release the DOP structure .In standard, the DOP order due dates of WINCH-T40 and B-MODULE-BOIS are 27/05/22. However, in the shop order the required dates of these components are 02/06/22 because they are called on the second operation of the shop order This impacts the dates of shop orders and purchase orders of components managed in DOP (or MRP/DOP)This does not impact the dates of shop orders and purchase orders of components managed in MRP because the MRP component need is triggered by the shop order (however if the MRP component is below a SF component managed in DOP, as the SF date is wrong the component date is wrong). Have you allready encounter this issue ? and have you a way to avoid it ?

Hi, What is the diffrence between compliance planning and audit planning in audit module?  Best Regards,Ozge

Is there a simple way to Freeze inventory for a group of codes?  Or is the only way to do each code individually?  For us, I am told it is an all or nothing option when it comes to freezing inventory, and we do not want our MRO parts needing froze for cycle counting, affecting raw material inventory for production.

Hello.Could you help me to answer our Customer’s question:………….we are using Transportation task to move stock from between companies/sites. however, although on the finance side this works fine for us on the inventory side it doesn't work well. mainly because Transport task only is to move material thats in inventory. what we need is to be able to see intercompany stock requirement and schedule production (MRP to see the demand) and then ship it to the other company using the Transport task.We tried using Distribution order but only issue is that Distribution order only allows us to schedule one material per Distribution Order. Also in a DO we have to create AR and AP invoices and payments althought all these transactions are intercompany.  ………...

Usually when we are creating a RMA, “Sales” Qty to return and “Inventory” Qty to Return are always the same. But I came across a situation where Sales Qty is 4 (which is Correct) and Inventory qty is 0. Is it possible to happen in the system? Do I have to change any basic setting?

Hi Community,We have Inter-Purchase Direct transaction which is supplied by a Shop Order.This is giving a cost issue when Direct Delivery is registered - below error comes. Also, we see a Discarded status Incoming Delivery Notification (DIRDEL) for this exact PO line.The same PO has some other lines with Invent Order Supply code and they have registered without any issue and Incoming Delivery Notification is Approved status.Does any one know how to troubleshoot this?I tried to check in EDI message handling and I do not see a column for COST in there. So, how Cost from Supply site is taken to Demand Site?And our Internal Orders are with 0.01 Prices. ThanksGayan
