This course includes information on the following processes:
Basic Data and Requirements
Plan Project Material Demand
Create Project Delivery
Pegged Requests
Handle Project Delivery Changes
Change Pegged Requests
The estimated time to complete the Intermediate course is six and a half hours.
This course is designed primarily for application consultants within
Engineering and Manufacturing, or employees
working in project-intensive industries
such as offshore, shipyards, industrial heavy engineering, and contracting.
There is only one piece of basic data that is created specifically in the Project Delivery component. This is the inventory part template, which enables the transfer of project items to inventory at the project site.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have a basic knowledge of how to work with IFS Applications.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 20 minutes.
This chapter is designed primarily for project members.
This chapter covers how to plan the project material demand for both project-specific and standard planned project items. It starts with defining the project items as inventory parts because all project items must exist in the project site. However, project items can also be identified as inventory parts just before creating a request for them. This is followed by running the gross requirements calculation (GRC) warning information to check, for example, a missing activity connection. Next, the GRC is performed to calculate the project material demand, especially for project-specific items. Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is also run to plan the procurement of standard planned project items.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have a basic knowledge of how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/Material Requirements Planning.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is two hours.
This chapter is designed primarily for project members.
This chapter covers how to create project delivery pegged requests for project-specific serial items that are either purchased or manufactured. The project team itself must create a request in purchasing and manufacturing for these items to come into stock on the required dates set by the project plan. A lesson about retrieving actual costs to project is also included, which is a lesson linked from the Project Management course.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have a basic knowledge of how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/Purchasing, IFS/Shop Order, IFS/Project and IFS/General Ledger.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is three hours.
This chapter is designed primarily for project members with coordination from the purchaser and production planner.
This chapter covers how to handle project delivery changes, such as adding new project items to or deleting a branch from the project product structure. As changes in the product structure may be necessary, you should be able to make these changes in the system to satisfy the customer's demand or solve any design issues.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have a basic knowledge of how to work with IFS Applications.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 50 minutes.
This chapter is designed primarily for design engineers or project members.
This chapter covers how to change project-pegged requests, such as changing the quantity and date on a created project purchase order or shop order. You can also remove a project-pegged request, if you decide that it is unnecessary, for example, because of changes in the project product structure.
