Cannot save values on persistent custom fields defined on 'Equipment Object Navigator' in IFS Cloud 24R1

We developed few configurations on top of the IFS Cloud 23R2. The main area for the development was in the screen 'Equipment Object Navigator' (EquipmentObject).In this screen we defined a couple of PERSISTENT custom fields which are to be used with the MWO . After the recent upgrade to IFS 24R1, we can no longer save any value on these fields (PERSISTENT custom fields). However, we realised that when a insert or update goes for these PERSISTENT fields all default calls run. But, more they will update/insert a value to the child entities (EquipmentFunctional or EquipmentSerial) Custom field (if present with the same name). Has anyone encountered this earlier or do you see any walk-around for this issue?

Procurement authorization rules consistency ....

I recently add an issue working on a case for a big prospect. This prospect already have extensive authorizations rules for purchase requests and purchase orders.1- one of its rule is that the requester is part to all the authorization process from the request to the order.In the Purchase authorization basic data, you can select the requisitioner as authorization type. It works perfectly for un purchase requisition authorization rule … didn’t work at all with a purchase order authorization rule. There is no error message, the line with the requisitioner just didn’t show up!The requisitioner is no more a rule available for the purchase order authorization rules. PURCHASE REQUISITION AUTHORIZATION RULES PURCHASE ORDER AUTHORIZATION RULES For me, the Purchase order authorization rules should have at least the same usage rules than the requisition rules, plus extra criteria that could make sense. We should be in position to run the same rules in the purchase than in the requisition!=>

Purchase requisition authorization routing

Hi,We have a requirement where we need to have authorization steps that are not dependent on each other in PR authorization routing. would really appreciate if any experience on this can be shared.The business requirement is that there are cases where certain authorizers can authorize without waiting for another but the sequential authorization routing blocks this.If we can make one of the below examples work in IFS that would help Example 1 : Suppose there are 5 authorization steps. Step 2 and 3 are not dependent on each other. So the the requirement is that both are completed in any order before proceeding to step 4Step 1 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 2Step 2 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 4Step 3 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 4Step 4 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 5Step 5 : Final step Example 2 : Suppose there are 4 steps and step 2 is connected to an authorization group with 2 authorizers.Step 1 : Nee

Intercompany (between 2 companies) transfer starting from a CO to PO only

Hello, I have the following scenario and would like your advice about it:2 intercompanies involved - Primary and subsidiary company involved in non stock parts.The primary company created a customer order and generates the purchase order to the subsidiary company. Following several links on IFS, if a company starts from a customer order, the following happens:3 companies are involved:1 external CO generates1 Internal Purchase order and 1 Internal CO. For intercompany flow between 2 companies, it starts with the following:1 internal PO generates 1 internal CO. In my case it involves a transaction between 2 internal companies and it starts from a customer order. Is it feasible ? Thanking you for your feedback. BRLakshmi

Set up mail sender with gmail host

I am trying to use gmail as the host for sending POs to supplier contacts via email. I am getting an error message that the username and password are not accepted. I am using my personal gmail account as the host to practice/test (to see if I can get it to work), as the customer is using gmail as their corporate email. I have checked and rechecked the username and password and I am sure it is correct (it is my personal gmail account after all:)) Here is how the mail sender is set up: If I change the host, user, password, and default mail sender to my company’s Outlook 365 info, I can generate emails with PO attached. It is just when I use the gmail info that I get an error message and am not able to send emails with PO attached through the Purchase Order screen.

Demand Planner forecast and S&OP

Hi,My question is around how to marry up the Demand Planner forecast and Product Family forecast at MSL0Now I understand that Demand Planner looks at the history and predicts the forecast.When it comes to S&OP it looks at several criteria for an instance production plan, business opportunity forecast , and generate a plan for the product family which can then be imported to MSL0 which can then be dis-aggregated to MSL1Is there a better way to manage DP forecast and S&OP forecast together ?

Forecast to default future period to specific value

Hello All, I have come across an issue where when I am using Moveable Holidays these are only considered to be in the past and not applied as default in the future (therefore forecasted at default value).What I mean is, if Period 52 (set to weeks in DP Server) has been our shutdown and I had generated that in the Moveable Holidays as well as future dates for Period 52, the DP Client checks what was before the holiday period in the past (demand registered) and after and then fills in that gap using it as base for calculation of the forecast for the same period in the future.What shall I do for the DP Client to generate the future period 52 to be projected at 0 as this is our shutdown and we are not accepting demand for period 52 of any year?Would anyone here have an idea what I can do, as I have searched through everything and I cannot find a solution to this. This is to help us with maintaining materials and packaging stocks at right level around the shutdown period not overstocking, a

Add to Existing RFQ from Purch Req

Hi I am unable to convert purchase requisition lines to existing RFQ’s when the lines are project connected. Both lines are on the same req or on different reqs. I just get the ‘No Requests Exist’ message.Anybody seen this behaviour before? It seems to work fine when I test using non-project connected lines. This is common practice, to add onto existing RFQ’s which would create new revisions. I tried the ‘Create Part Request Lines’ button within the RFQ itself, which allows me to add directly to the RFQ. Albeit the new line is therefore not project connected. When trying to convert the quote to a PO (1 line prj connected, 1 line not) I get an invalid delivery address specified error. Any guidance would be appreciated ThanksJames
