Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order Behavior

We are in the process of setting up and implementing IFS Cloud and I have a concern around purchase requisitions to purchase order behavior. I am running MS One Part and MRP to generate purchase requisitions. The purchase requisitions are being created as I expect. However, I have concerns about the behavior that is taking place when converting requisitions to orders. As demonstrated in the upper section of screen shots below, when a 7/23 requisition was created through MRP, and I converted it to a PO, and re-ran MRP, the 7/23 requisition was closed as expected since the need was replaced by an order for that date (7/23).In the lower section of the screenshot, I converted a purchase requisition in the future (9/1) to a purchase order to send to my supplier as they require a lead time on orders in the future which is typical for many of our purchase parts. I expected (and need) that the 9/1 requisition would move to closed and it did do that. However, it closed the 9/1 requisition, elim

Supplier Self Billing for new Site

We have a supplier set up to be a self-billing account and when we receive product at our various sites, we are seeing the “AS” self-billing invoices processed and in our supplier analysis to be posted.  However, we have recently added a new Site to our IFS system, and even though we are using the same supplier, the receipts done in this new Site are not being processed as a self-billing invoice.  Is there another setting that we are missing or something else that has to be run that is Site specific?

PO Authorizer Group Members

The Version is 24R2.For PO Authorizers, I’d like some guidance/screenshot on how I can add existing Authorizers in Authorizers groups. I have a list of Authorizers and a list of Authorizers groups which are used in routing rules.  For whatever reason I cannot find a place to add the Authorizer ID in the groups they belong.  Many thanks,Paul.

IFS 9 not populating lists

We have an issue where IFS APPS 9 is not populating lists of values.Example: on the Supplier screen, the “Form of business” field uses a list.  NOTHING appears in the list.However, if I type the value eg CHARITY, the lookup works fine. If I ZOOM to the LOV, that works also.Using debug, we can see that the sql to populate the list never gets run,  but only on the test instance.This is only happening on a test instance, Live is OK (luckily),  but we are about to migrate to new hardware, and obviously a bit concerned that this may happen there.. (test data is an old copy of live)Does anyone have any experience of this happening, and even better, a solution?  UPDATE: Here’s what “Populate” tries to run on the offending instance: select from &AO.CORPORATE_FORM where COUNTRY_CODE = 'GB' and here’’s what it runs elsewhere:select CORPORATE_FORM,CORPORATE_FORM_DESC from &AO.CORPORATE_FORM where ( COUNTRY_CODE = :p0 ) and COUNTRY_CODE = 'GB'.. So the other one is missing field list AND w

Receive Inventory Part - Define Cost Structure Popup

Hello,In IFS Apps 10, when using the Receive Inventory Part screen, we’re seeing a popup to Define Cost Structure for only certain parts. In that popup, we're required to enter the Cost Bucket ID and Cost/Unit.We’d like this popup to appear for all parts. Is there a setting we need to change to enable this for the parts that currently don’t trigger it? If so, what is the setting, and where can we find it?

How to connect sales part and purchase part

We created a sales part from an inventory part. Then created a purchase part manually and not from the inventory part. So the purchase part and sales part are not “connected.” Is there a way to connect them after they are created?

Supplier Agreement with Part Assortment - issue with connecting parts

Dear Community Members,after UPD26 in my IFS10 version EE we faced an issue with connecting parts with proper Supplier Agreement.The case is:We have a Supplier Agreement with Part Assortment in use - there are 3 nodes coming from current Assortment. Very general ones to cover all parts.The process of prucurement starts in Purchase Requisition where Part No, Supplier, price, project connection are defined. Then we Release and Transform the line into PO. At that stage system does not recognize the PR Line as to be assigned to Supplier Agreement and in the created PO column for Agreement No is empty. We cannot choose the Agreement No manually eaither. When the same process is performed for Supplier Agreement with Parts it is correct. Part No from PR Line is recognized as part included in Supplier Agreement and in the created PO the reference to proper Supplier Agreement no appears in Agreement No and Agreement Line. When line in PO is added manually it is also recognized properly, but not

Parts MasterData - US Customs - Country of Primary Smelt

Dear community, We are reaching out to request a system enhancement related to export compliance for shipments to the United States.As of recent U.S. Customs regulations (Section 232 requirements), we are now obligated to provide specific origin information for aluminum products: Country of Primary Smelt Country of Most Recent Cast These fields must be recorded and included in export documentation (e.g. ACE filings or commercial invoices). Failure to provide this information can lead to customs delays, shipment rejections, or even a 200% import duty when the origin is marked as "unknown."We would need these two structured fields to be added to our ERP system, ideally linked to the product master data.It’s important that these fields can also be exported through EDI or customs interfaces, if applicable.If existing custom fields or attributes are available, we would appreciate guidance on how to repurpose them. Otherwise, we’d like to discuss how this can be added through a system upda

Price Freeze Value Mismatch in Sales Quotation> Lines and Sales quotation lines overview page

Hi Community,Something unusual has occurred, and I’m hoping for some insights.In the Sales Quotation > Lines section, the Price Freeze toggle is showing as OFF for each line. However, when I check the Sales Quotation Lines – Overview page, the same lines display the Price Freeze column as ON.This is happening even with a newly created Sales Quotation—without any manual changes, the overview page shows Price Freeze as enabled, while at the line level it's still OFF.Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Any idea how this discrepancy might occur?Appreciate your assistance.Apps version: IFS Cloud 24 R1 Best regards,

Ignore demand on Inventory Part Planning Data

Our PM Plans were setup wrong during implementation and have caused a headache with demand planning.  This is going to be a very large project to clean up.However, we still want to us Min/Max order points.  However, the demand is throwing off the reorders.Is there a way to ignore demand and just use the Min/Max just based on what we have on the shelf.So, I want a part to have a 2/4 min/max.  When we hit 2 on the shelf, initiate a purchase requisition to get back up to 4.  Ignoring all demand out there on work orders, etc.

Why are document attachments available on Purchase Requisition LTU / Mobile in IFS Cloud

we have a customer that licensed the purchase approver LTU, for their employees that need to approve purchase requisitions, this is the only functionality they use. However, they cannot see or open document attachments on the requisition.  This makes no sense as they need this detailed information to decide whether to approve the requisition or not.   Many of these users are also mobile.How do we get this capability added to the LTU?  How have other customers worked around this issue (other than paying for a full user license)

Kanban and Reserved parts

I am testing the Kanban process in IFS Cloud.  Question on settings and triggers.I have a part that I have setup on Kanban to reorder once below 2.I had 2 on hand and available.  I reserved one part to a maintenance work order so now I have 1 available for use.However, it did not trigger the Kanban circuit.  Is there a setting I am missing or is this standard?The hope was the Kanban circuit would look at quantity available for use when calculating so when I reserved the 1 on the work order, it would trigger a requisition for replacement.

Clarification on Order Point calculation - Calculate planning data

Hi All,Seeking your help here.I am trying to understand the order point calculation for one of my part. I have set up this part as planning method B and entered the lot size as 10.Purchase lead-time for this part is 10 days. No safety stock is maintained.When I run the “Calculate Planning Data” job for 10 periods but this part is only active for 4 periods and system calculate the order point as 22.258 with some decimals but I am struggling to understand how this is calculated. I checked the IFS help and it says below equation is used.Order point (pieces) = [Average demand (pieces/period)] * [Lead time (period) + Safety stock (pieces)]I checked the average demand from the inventory availability planning and it shows as 125. Not sure this is the correct place that I need to check. In the help it was also mentioned that data for this calculation is stored in On Hand Develop per Period window but still didn't give me proper data to calculate.Does anyone can give me a pointer for this. Any

PO Dates, FIFO, and Available System Settings

Hello,With PO dates in IFS, the system prioritizes older POs first and newer ones later. When we cut a new PO to replace an MRB'd part, IFS assigns the new PO a target date at the end of the sequence and pulls in the older POs instead.Is there a setting that can disable this behavior? It creates a lot of noise, especially during allocations or when managing MRBs.We’re currently using IFS Apps 10. I have reviewed available settings everywhere I can think of (Site, Purchase Part, PO, Basic Data, etc.).

IFS Demand Planner (Cloud 24R1)

I have been spinning my wheels trying to figure out how to update this parameter in the demand planner and I can’t for the life of me figure it out. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I can’t modify it in the demand planner values. The biggest issue we have is that for some reason, even though we have this set to only look back 2 years, it’s looking back until 2018 and I believe it’s because of this parameter.

Undo delivered Supplier Shipment

Hi guys IFS 24.1.9 So one of my users raised a PO and received the goods. Instead of undoing the inspection result to cancel the PO, he did a supplier shipment and actually delivered it. Now he needs to cancel the PO. Since the shipment status is delivered, there's no way to undo the Supplier Shipment. I was thinking of making an RMA [registering supplier as a customer and the purchase part as a sales part, etc] and then getting the parts on the inventory location, but that also seems not possible. Has anyone done something similar in IFS to undo a delivered Supplier Shipment and thereby cancel the PO? Please let me know. Thanks,Asela
