Automatic Part Number Availability Control for QA

Dear Community, I’m looking for suggestions on how to automatically block future register arrivals of specific part numbers from being used in manufacturing.Specifically, I need a solution where, upon receiving a part number into our system, subsequent register arrivals for this part number would be automatically blocked from being used (for example, through availability control). The key requirement is that this process should be fully automated, without manual intervention. Thanks,Ada

Can you define a quantity of As-needed or As-required in a Product Structure

We’re working with a client for whom certain Product Structures which contain a specified components specify a quantity of “As Needed” for it. This appears to be due to the fact that they always know they’re going to need this component but the quantity cannot be determined until the Manufacturing Process has actually started. Once this has happened the Manufacturing staff simply go and take what they need for the order that is in progress. However in other Product Structures this same component can appear with both a specified quantity and Unit Of Measure so there is no consistencyThis particular component has no unit of measure defined for it (we can manage this using the * No Unit defined) UoM when creating the Part Master and when including it in a Product Structure it is added as 1*, but how can we manage this component both from a UoM (as it needs to have an * UoM in some cases and an oz UoM in others) and also an MRP perspective.

Planned Finish Date/time updated in workbench after approving a quantity of a shop order

Hello all, Is it possible (in IFS Cloud) to have the Planned Finish Date/Time updated automatically in the Shop Floor Workbench when only a part of the shop order is approved? For example:The operation qty is 10.000, they will be placed on pallets (approximately 4 pallets). Planned Finish Date is 10-01-2025 When the first pallet needs to be replaced because it`s full, the amount on this pallet is approved in the Shop Floor Workbench (2500 pcs). Apparently, the expected 4 pallets will not take 2 days per pallet, as scheduled, but since the 1st pallet is finished after 1 day, there is a great need to record this change in numbers, but also to gain insight into the accurate planning that adapts to the numbers still to be made. Not so much the recalculation of the items still to be made, but in any case the correction of 1 day on the items already made (and therefore booked), which would at least shorten the Planned Finish Date/Time by 1 day. Obviously, we have the Remaining Machine Time w

Work Center labor loads and capacity

In Apps10 IEE, I want to use the visualizer in the Labor Load Details screen, specifically the Labor Load Summary graphic, to view the scheduled operation hours in a work center for a given day against that work center’s capacity hours. What I get instead for capacity is the sum of labor capacity for the entire labor class. Take for example the below:The work center ELRPR has 9.32 hours loaded on the date 12/10/24. The work center capacity on any given day is 9.56 hours.Therefore I expect the visual to show that the work center is near fully loaded for that day. Instead, the capacity that is considered in the visual is 434 hours (for every work center), which comes from the labor class’s total capacity for any given day. This causes the visual to show that every work center is near 0% loaded for any given day. The visual therefore is not helpful for viewing work center loads. What do you use to view work center loads?

Production Line Part & MRP Explosion

Hello All, I am looking at connecting a part to a production line so I can use the unscheduled receipts function to convert unsterile manufactured parts into sterile parts with minimal admin. The steriliser is run several times a day, with multiple parts, so using Shop Orders would create a lot of admin work. The Sterile parts have a forecast and are Master Scheduled. The production receipts for the sterile parts are created manually, as are the Shop Orders for the unsterile parts, but I want MRP to generate the Purchase Requisitions for the components based off the forecast. I’ve set up a stucture like below, and tested out and all seems to be working as I hoped. However, the help function for the Production Line is confusing me - it suggests MRP is cancelled when it reaches a Production Line part, but this is not what I am seeing.@Björn Hultgren I think we have spoken about Production Schedules previously, so I hope you don’t mind me tagging you.

How to handle Purchased parts that are sometimes is manufactured

Hi,The issue we have is that a part is normally purchased. (Part type = Purchased in Inventory Part => cost template P-140 Planned purchased cost template ). But occasionally it is required to manufacture the part locally. When manufacturing locally the shop order also need outside operations.But with this setup the Shop Order is missing cost buckets to collect the outside operation costs and therefor we are unable do arrival for outside operation related purchase order. Currently we are solving the issue by temporarily changing the part type to Manufactured at the time of arrival of the outside operation related purchase order and then immediately change it back. (because we want to ensure that the MRP generated SO-req and not PO-req)I suppose that one solution could be to add manufacturing related cost buckets into cost template P-140 but I don’t believe that is the recommended way to handle this. If so why should we have different cost templated for manufactured and purchased par

Differences between PMRP jobs

From the documentation and experience it looks like if you run PMRP per Activity, it will do no netting at all. But what, if any, will be the difference between running “Perform PMRP per Project PNG” for the whole site and running “Perform Project MRP per Planned Netting Group” also for the whole site if we only have project PNGs? Why are these two jobs needed anyway? To the untrained eye it would seem that “Perform Project MRP per Planned Netting Group” would do the job in both cases (both when you have project PNGs and PNGs over project boundaries).

PMRP Netting and Barcode IDs

If you’re using the Barcode ID functionality when receiving goods, and also use automatic netting between activities, the barcode ID will become useless the moment the quantity in stock is moved either from standard inventory to a project activity or between project activities. This is since the Barcode ID will have a connection also to the project activity where the part was bought or made.Any ideas on a solution to this problem? Re-labeling is difficult since the netting is done automatically. And I cannot see any way to make the Barcode ID functionality ignore the activity seq key, e g when using WaDaCo. Updating the Barcode ID when the netting is done also seems a bit problematic - maybe not the whole quantity is moved etc.

Aurena shop order work guideline with qualification

Hi,When running Apps 10 I have qualification profiles assigned against routing work guidelines based on employee competencies. I need the work guidelines signed off by a suitably qualified employee. This all works fine in Enterprise Explorer from the shop floor workbench when signed in as an employee, however in Aurena there does not appear to be any work guideline functionality on the shop floor workbench, so that if I was to use the shop order work guideline screen, this does not allow me to enter as an employee and so bypasses qualification requirements.Has anyone had any success in using qualification profiles on work guidelines in Aurena, if so how? Or is this just missing functionality in Aurena? ThanksAndy

Outside work center

Hello,I need help to correctly set the deadlines in subcontracting, I was in V9 we had this problem and I do not see any improvement on the 23r1. I created an external load item and attached a calendar to it, telling it 1 day = 60mm so that I could talk in days but not in hours for subcontracting. I don't know if there's a simpler way of setting this up.The problem with what I'm doing is that when the subcontracting operation is in progress, if I recalibrate my production order, it doesn't recalibrate the external operation dates correctly. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) as long as the external operation is in Released status, the recalibration takes the 10-day delay into accountRemaining Machine Time is set to 10I have sent my production order to subcontractors and my operation has been placed in work-in-progress.the Remaining Machine Time field is set to 0 and this poses a problem because if I reset it takes this data and as there is 0 it does not correctly reset my phase.

Shop Order Req vs Shop Order Start Dates

I have a question regarding Shop Order Req (SOR) vs Shop Order (SO) start dates once they are manually created. We are using infinite capacity, along with backwards scheduling. MRP is driving the SORs and start dates. When manually converting SORs based on SOR start dates, the created SO has a different start date than the SOR originally had. i.e. We review SORs 1-2 days before the the start dates and manually create SOs from then. I would expect the newly created SOs to have the same start dates as the SOR we just converted, but at times they differ. Looking for feedback on what cause the the SOR and SO start dates to differ?

Engineering Part Module Info

We are currently running Apps10 and starting our Cloud upgrade project. We own the engineering part module but have never used it. The last time we looked at it was in our initial implementation project 10+ years ago. It’s been suggested that we implement the engineering part module as part of our upgrade. My question is - does anyone know where I can find general information about the purpose and general functionality of this module? I’m looking for what would’ve been a marketing presentation to explain it to someone thinking about buying it. I need to put together info for our leadership about the module and this recommendation, and I don’t have the time to do a detail dive into the module before this info is due. I’ve asked our IFS contacts - with no success so far.
