Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

I am getting the attached error when trying to specify an Internal Supplier and Supplier Site.  The error seems to suggest that there are already Purchase Parts at this site connected to this Supplier.  Do the parts need to be set up differently or is this an issue with the Supplier set up?

Hello all,We want to use the supplier calendar to reflect the impact of Chinese New Year in the planning leadtime. But for some reason I cannot seem to let it work. The steps taken so far:Created calendar; Entered exceptions to the calendar (start of CNY + start up time); Generated the calendar; Added the calendar to the supplier; Run Calculate Purchase Leadtime.I would expect the expected leadtime in the inventory part would be updated. But I do not see a change. Is the correct way to set it up? Any idea's, tips and tricks are highly appreciated.

Hello, We just implemented IFS and we are using the Inspect in QA process. Some receipts are for large quantities and we would like to release partial quantities from the receipt. Currently we are registering the inspection results for partial qty then changing the total inspection qty to zero in order to allow Move into Stock. However this restricts us from inspecting further until the stock is moved. Is there a better solution?

Hi Everyone,I have an issue/question regarding the Second UoM for Inventory Parts. We would like to use the Second UoM functionality on the Register Arrival page.In our construction purchasing process, suppliers sometimes deliver materials using a different UoM than the one specified on the Purchase Order.For example, we may order sand in tons on the Purchase Order, but the supplier may deliver it in m³. We have a defined conversion factor between these two units, and we would like to register the arrival using the second UoM.Is there a way in IFS Cloud to register the arrival using the Second UoM while keeping the Purchase Order in its original UoM?I would appreciate any advice or guidance on how this can be configured or handled in IFS Cloud.Thank you.

Hi there.I enter a supplier code in Create Order Proposal (in this case supplier 10071)......then press finish. The results I get do thou include parts parts not from this supplier.Part 11318 has Primary supplier 10533.Part 11993 has no primary supplier.Do you have any ideas why I get results from other suppliers?

Hi, I am setting up Procurement portal with a Supplier. We are using OCI with this supplier. I get the punchout connection to work, and item is returned to basket.I do however not see the category returned.in the payload I can see that NEW_ITEM-MATGROUP[1] is 53102503. I would expect this value to be present in field Suppliers Part Category. Am I missing some setup or is this a bug?

Hi ,I have a DP forecast which I adjusted manually . Then it was set to ‘reviewed’ (tested both in DP client and as well Demand Planner page) . Afterwards I ran the job “Import Demand Planning Forecasts”In MSL1 forecast ,  I can only see the original DP forecast (sys forecast)  but not the adjusted forecast. What am I missing ? I am working in the version 23R2I confirmed as wellKind RegardsYashodha 

Does anyone know how to split supplier allocation in IFS? If I want to give 50% of the volume to one supplier and 50% to another, what needs to change in IFS? how does it behave? Thanks!

We have a number of suppliers where our delivery terms are Ex Works, and we am looking to implement a process where we take ownership of the goods when they are dispatched from the supplier location. Currently we register arrival when the goods land at the destination. The requirement is to record the goods in inventory when the leave the supplier location, but also maintain a available date which reflects the transit time to the destination site. I am considering registering arrival at the point of dispatch from  the supplier and using an internal transit time to control the available in inventory date. Would anyone be willing to share any experiences in this area? Is there any functionality that i might be overlooking?

we create purchase order with 2 quantity and po is connected to project,and we issue 1 one quantity against workorder mrnbut the problem is that when we see the costing in project navigator  it only get work order material not general material requisation  

I have a normal PO with no associated Shipment, 4 No Part Order Lines - overall single occur Delivery Address, ONE of the lines uses the default delivery address.  Change Order created to change the price, description, and wanted delivery date on 3 of the lines and a new line is added using same single occur address.This PO was copied from another PO with pretty much the same information.When attempting to Update the PO, the ORA-20110 error appears. I don’t see ANY field in Supplier or PO called Delivery Type.  WHAT AM I MISSING HERE??

Hello, Can anyone tell me where this field populates from? I have a few lines that are showing up as quotation request instead of purchase request and I can’t figure out why. Thanks,Mike  

The Register Arrivals pages in IFS Cloud can’t be sorted by clicking column headers in 23R1. The page didn’t sort in the previous version we were on. My IT Team submitted a case and were told it is never going to sort?  No plans to make it sort in the future. Searching is great, but when our folks have a packing slip and parts in their hand it’s often faster and easier to sort 100 lines and scroll to what you need. What’s the logic behind this page not sorting so I can understand how we’re supposed to use it?

Dear experts,I have an issue/question with relate to an MPL voucher 2026004280 connected with PO 15248636 an Project ID 1044946 in IFS. There are multiple lines with Posting type M189, M1,M10 and M62 lines for which, we cannot understand on how they are created. Purchase Order is already closed and have been matched with an Invoice in July 2026. Below are the details of the PO lines matched and  connected Invoices. PO lines matching details.Difference between Invoice Header Net Amount and Total Invoiced Amount of Matched PO LinesThe amounts highlighted in red are matched with charge lines, which makes sense.Now the issue is that, even these lines are matched and issues to the project in July 2026, connected Inventory Transactions are updated with M189 posting lines. See example below.GL lines connected with PO 15248636, Release no - 09 and Project ID - 1044946.Connected lines in Dist and Manu Postings analysis.Connected Transaction Revaluation Event details.Initial Arrival charge and R

My customer is using the Self-service Procurement and the Punch out functionality. The customer needs to do some extra stuff when each cart line is created. This is solved by a custom event which is posting a background job, which is running some logic doing the extra stuff.The above works fine when you add parts to the cart from the catalog. Each created cart line, creates a background job by the event. But, when using the Punch out, the background job ending upp in error: “FndUser does not exist”. Looking at the background job you can see that there is no user added inte “Fnd User”-field. To me this means that the session that creates the cart line (from the Punch out), and at the end also creating the background job by the event, is some other user. I don’t know the logic behind the Punch out-integration, but it seems like cart line is created by a “ghost” user, at least not normal Fnd users. Can anyone bring some light over the Punch out-integration and maybe explain “who” is actua

Hello,We received a request to setup 110 customers to auto invoicing so we usually setup the scheduled database tasks called batch create customer invoice and batch print customer invoice. However, it seems these database tasks only accepts one customer number per scheduled database task setup. Is there a way to automate multiple customers for these scheduled tasks instead of per each customer number? Note that these customers belong to different companies. Please advise. Thanks Note: We are currently in IFS10

We have turnkey finished good items that are MS items with MS Demand since they are directly forecasted.  The issue is when these items are purchased, they do not get action messages like MRP items do - MRP Action Proposals.For example - we will order the MS item based off demand.  When the demand changes and the delivery date may need to be advanced, pushed out or if there is no more demand it would need to be canceled, we do not see these messages.We see Early Order, Late Order or Remove order in MRP Action Proposals and would like to see the same messages for MS items.  Maybe there is a different way to set up these items so they are not MS and we can forecast them and see the MRP Action Proposals?  We are in IFS Cloud

I have a purchased raw part and on the supplier for purchase part record. I added a price list for a new price of the part some time in the future.  However, when I enter a purchase order line for a wanted delivery date beyond the effective date of the new price, the system still displays the supplier for purchase part price from the general tab.  Is that how it is supposed to work?Thanks!

All,I must admit that my experience with the MRP Spares Forecast functionality is a bit lacking.  When working with a customer on this functionality, several questions arose: 1) Why is the system mandating online consumption flag when the forecast consumption is still happening?2)   Is there an option for forward forecast with online consumption flag turned on3) Since we cannot add parts to spare parts family forecast without the online consumption flag turned on, what are the repercussions of this approach:Can we turn it on while assigning the spare parts to the family and turn it off via a script in the background? 4) Are there are any implications of using spare parts forecast without the online consumption flag? Thanks!

Customer is adopting IFS Clould 25R2/26R1.  Customer is demanding to incorporate “Ship & Debit”  which currently IFS could does not have.

What does this error mean - “Only 0 of the requested sales part - XXXXXX is available.  Part cannot be added to customer order due to priority reservation usage.”?

Hello everyone,We have a business requirement to populate the purchase order line with an additional charge.This charge is not necessarily known when the purchase order is created. It may only become known when the goods arrive or when the supplier invoice is received.If the charge is known upon arrival, we have found that we can use the Incoming Dispatch Advice to generate the receipt and, if necessary, add the charge to the purchase order line. Could someone please explain the main purpose of the Incoming Dispatch Advice? what it is deisgned for? Why wouldn’t we simply create the receipt manually and add the charge manually to the purchase order? The remaining question is how to handle cases where the charge is only known when the supplier invoice is issued and received in IFS. Thank you in advance
