Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Date only changes within a purchase order is triggering re-authorisation. We have made changes to the PO authorisation rules and tested but no matter which boxes are ticked and options selected in the PO authorisation rules we need to re-authorise.Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello 😎, User created 3 PO for same part no. The issue we found is that 1 of POs has different price.The expected price is 0.9821, which is the supplier price for this purchase part, but one PO shows the price as 0.9800.I have already checked the History Log and could not find any record of manual price changes.At this point, I am unable to identify the root cause. Does anyone have suggestions on how to investigate this issue further or what could cause this price difference?

Hello all,  At the moment of validation of scan order quotation, I got this error and could not go to finish the process. Does anyone has an idea about it please?  

Issue:We have recently identified an issue where the Demand Forecast window remains on the loading screen and cannot be accessed. Previously, a version mismatch between the IFS Application and the Demand Plan server was identified as the cause of this issue. However, the window is now hanging even though the versions are compatible, and all prerequisites have been completed.Environment:The issue can occur if any delivery is performed in a 24R2 environment, as it will automatically apply the latest available framework update. Also, the issue only can be observed in IFS Cloud 24R2 environments which are in framework SU15.Cause:This has been identified as a bug in the core application due to an incorrect artifact was shipped with the 24R2 SU15 release.Resolution:Issue is fixed with IFS Cloud 24R2 SU16.As the fix is related to the framework, you will not be required to apply the full application SU. A framework SU upgrade a

Since moving to IFS Apps 10 UPD 8 the buttons have disappeared from the Receive dialogue box.    Register Arrivals RMB on line and select Receive Receive dialogue box opens but no buttons are displayed on the right-hand side: The same screen in our Test database which is IFS Apps 10 UPD7:     Has anyone experienced this before and if yes, how can it be resolved.

I’m getting purchase requisitions for something we have stock of; it’s being driven by what I believe is our shop orders having a due date after the customer planned ship date. I know the easy solution is to not change either of those dates, however is there a setting that would eliminate that?   Just for visibility there is no demand loaded into the upcoming months either.  

Community, We need to limit user access to certain PO’s due to proprietary info.We would like to control on the point, at PO documents, and PO receipt. supplier ID part no part description priceI don’t think permission set can do this. We are on APP10, UPD 9.Thank you. 

Hello Community,When the Purchase Requisition is created from Project Demand, customer is expecting to split the line and create multiple PO for that demand to cost saving. But As the PO is created from the Project system doesn’t allow to change it directly in the PR. And he procurement team doesn’t want to go to project team every time and ask to change the demand . Is there any way to solve the issue? 

Hi There,Do we have any standard solution already available in IFS  for Bonded Warehouse or IFS has any plan to introduce a solution in their upcoming releases. We have already designed a solution to support Boned warehouse using configurations and lobbies. Think it is not worth doing configurations if there is a plan to deliver the standard solution by IFS in their upcoming releases as our implementation is planned for next year. So needed to make sure.Really appreciate if someone from IFS R&D confirms this and currently we are using IFS cloud 24R1Regards,Mithun K V

I am intending to order a non inventory purchase part on the material requisition by using supply code as purchase. However I am not getting the option of purchase in the drop down.   

Hi,I’m trying to add a persistant custom attribute to the Shopping Cart Line that’s accessed via the Shopping Cart in the Self Service Procurement screen.I checked, and I am able to add a custom attribute to the Entity SelfServShopCartLine I am also able to add the field to the Page via the Page Designer. However, when I try to save any value, nothing happens. When I check the debug, it doesn’t look like the value entered is being passed in the modify call.I checked the database, and no value has been saved.Has anyone faced a similar issue? Or has someone been able to add a custom field to SelfServShopCartLine?I couldn’t find any relavent information or any

Hi everyone, Our IFS CLoud environment is getting worringly slow in some parts as we are working on Procurement (24R2). When we (the IT) try to spot it, we do see everything slowing down. Everything eventually works as it should, only slower than expected. We find no errors in our consoles. However our users (the people who use IFS daily) have alerted us that some processes end in failure because of the time out.We worry because the slowing down happens consistently on our test environment, but these are new processes that will be used in production from next week on. We cannot afford to have the new tools go into time out as soon as they go online.Sadly, we have no idea where to start with this issue. If anyone else has had issues of general slowing down, we would love to hear how you went about tackling the issue.

Hi everybody,in IFS10 we have scheduled task to calculate purchase costs (latest purchase cost).   How to set it up in IFS Cloud?I tried to set it up, but I don’t know the syntax for ATTRIB_ parameter in IFSCloud. When I copy the argument from background job (when you run it manually), it doesn’t work. I am aware of other ticket saying it is not possible even in APPS10, but it definitely works, so I just want to double check. Thansk a lot.Jan

HelloIn IFS Cloud, the max lines to be shown in one screen is 960, when the searching result are 2000 lines and one of field will be replaced by edit all function, how can I do this in one time instead of three times (1st time 960, 2nd time 960, 3rd time for the rest)? Please help to advice. ThanksSusan 

This is in IFS apps 10 upd 25, local installation.We have 2 users with the same permissions, same company and site access, same business roles, etc. One has the access in the INVENTORY PART IN STOCK RESERVATIONS to the Move with Transport Task rmb option, and the other doesn’t. Where is the access for these rmb options on that screen set please?The permission sets granted to both users should grant this access already, so why does one user have it and the other not? Is there another setting somewhere within the Procurement part of the system to enable this?Thanks

We have setup IFS Cloud to use Punchout Catalog for Procurement with the OCI protocol. When receiving the data from the webshop as OCI, the attributes mentioned in the documentation is being handled.IFS Punchout - DocumentationThere are some additional parameters that are also being sent in, and we would like to handle some of these additional parameters. It seems that the only way to handle these would be to do a modification for Self_Serv_Shop_Cart_Util_API.Receive_Punchout_Response()?Is there a way to catch this data without doing a modification? Is the incoming OCI data stored somewhere in IFS?Hoping someone who has more experience with using Punchout Catalog might have some insight on what options we have to handle the additional parameters that

How do I find out where some errant forecast is coming from? On my MS Set 1 the forecast 0 is totaling zero, but the forecast 1 is totaling 992 pieces. I revied the other MS sets for the part and none of them have forecast. 

Hello, I had a quick question. We are trying to reserve supplier material for a part but we keep running into this error message? Any thoughts? Does this have to do with the inventory availability planning? Thanks.

HiI have created all required handling‑unit related setups in IFS Cloud, including:Handling Unit Categories Handling Unit Types Packing Instruction Part Handling Unit CapacityHowever, when I go to Supplier for Purchase Part, I do not see the Packing Instruction I created in any dropdown or selectable list.Could you please explain why the Packing Instruction is not visible in the Supplier for Purchase Part screen and how it is expected to be used?  Thanks

Hello everyone,I have a question regarding approval notifications in IFS.Context:When newly created or planned purchase orders are released for approval, only the relevant approvers should receive a notification (bell icon) if the purchase order value is within the defined approval range (Minimum–Maximum) of the approval rule.We have already maintained the Minimum and Maximum values in the approval rule (see screenshot).However, it seems that notifications are still being triggered regardless of whether the order value is inside or outside this range.Requirement:Notifications should only be sent to the assigned approvers when the purchase order amount falls within the defined Minimum and Maximum range of the approval rule.Questions: Is it possible in IFS to trigger approval notifications only when the PO value is within the defined

We are considering implementing multiple part numbers for our rebuilt parts; a part number for NEW, CORE and REBUILT. We hope that this will eliminate some of the issues we have using Condition Codes.Most of our REBUILT parts are not handled in house. The CORE is sent to a supplier that rebuilds it. The process that we are using is a normal Purchase Order with Supplied Material (CORE). Is this the best process?Second, what do you recommend the PART TYPE to be for the CORE part? Disassembly component, By-product? It seems it warrants its own PART TYPE.Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Our buyers want to get the POs to always have a delivery that is on a work day (Monday-Friday). I thought updating the distribution calendar to reflect that would solve the problem, but doesn’t seem to work. It does work for the inspection lead times. We only use the Supplier Manufacturing Lead Time on the Supplier for Purchase Part screen as a lump sum number to get it to our dock. After trudging through the lead time documentation, it sounds like the only way would be to set the suppliers up with the same weekday calendar. Would that work? We would need to update the Supplier Manufacturing Lead Time to work with the new calendar. I saw one solution on here that included updating the API code and that’s a non-starter in my book.Any other ideas?Thanks,Lane

Has anyone come across this situation? Non-stock Purchase req raised with four lines.  Change the sort order of the lines (either by accident or design...)   Convert Req to PO and PO line numbers reversed… We’re on 24R1 SU16.ThanksLinda

Hi Experts,I am trying to setup a punchout catalog as per the details given by IFS tech documents.The url provided for OCI protocol is as follows: https://www.samplewebshop/PunchOut/oci?OCIVERSION=4.0&SENDERID=<sender id>&PASSWORD=<password>&USERNAME=<user name>&NEW_ITEM-VENDOR=<vendor>&ACCOUNT_CODE=&AGREEMENT_NO=&OCICANCEL=<url endpoint>&HOOK_URL=<redirect url>?uniqueid=<query parameters> Can someone please explain, are these ‘SENDERID’, ‘USERNAME’ and ‘PASSWORD’ values to be supplied by the webshop vendor?
