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

HalloCan somebody help me.We have purchase orders from one site to another (two different companies) and everything is set up for intercompany but if I release a purchase order without having a customer order it does not transfer the order via intercompany. The demand code is “inventory order” and I can not change that. If I start with a customer order everything works perfect. But if I order parts into stock it doesn’t open up an order on the supplier site :-(. Does anybody has an idea what is missing? Thanks for your help.Judith

Hello,One of our users has changed the ownership of a company owned part to company rental asse. is there a way that we can move back to company owned? we can’t scrap or count out and receive again as we need to have the exact serial no for the part (system does not allow to have the same serial no for same part duplicates)

When approving a Purchase Requistion - can I view if different payment terms have been entered?  I.e checking that someone has updated from 45 days to immediate for specific POs/purchases?

Version: Apps10 UPD19 Hello procurement experts!We have a situation where we want to be able to create a blanket PO or similar with one-time approval, with one supplier for just a few select parts, and then request a drawdown against that as when site inventory is consumed or running low.  We are struggling with how to  implement this, even though it seems like it should be straightforward.Initially we looked at creating a PO for e.g. 6 months of supply quantity, with many lines in the PO for the quantity of a min delivery (e.g. qty 16 for 1 pallet to be delivered).  The PO would be approved once, and then each time the total qty at the site fell below a defined threshold the buyers would release one or more lines from that ‘blanket’ PO as needed.  Unfortunately when the PO is approved it seems it always approves all of the PO lines, which makes this a non-viable approach.How else can handle this kind of approach where we need to:‘appro

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?

Hi I am facing an issue where as a business policy, procurement team always requires a purchase requisition and authorization is carried out on the purchase requisition level.Issue comes when I am running the Inter company flow.I am using the “Int Purch Direct” and “Int Purch Trans” flows, upon releasing the customer order, pegged purchase order will be created instead of purchase requisition.  Is there a way that I can create a purchase requisition instead of purchase order?I have set up the default supply option as requisition in the Inventory part planning data as well.  But for Purch Order Direct and Purch Order Trans flows, Purcase requisition

Does anyone know of a way to temporarily prevent receipting of POs. We require a period of non-transactions while other processes are being undertaken. We would like to prevent receipting POs during that period.We are using Apps 9, but I guess it will be the same logic as for Apps 10

When creating ‘kitting labels” for shop order that is reserved the only labels that print out are supply type ‘Inventory Order’.  Why will the supply type ‘Project Invenotry’ not print for stockroom to PICK all of the reserved material?  We don’t have this problem in APP9 but soon going to CLOUD 24.2 in few months.   

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 expla

Hi All,I am running a flow on a situation where company A is purching a rental asset from the company B. In that case in the Company A there is a PO in the part lines tab to purchase the asset with the ownership “Company Rental Asset”.Upon releasing and sending the PO. Inter company CO is getting created in the supply site which is Company B in my example.But this Customer order line state the ownership “Company Owned” not “Company Rental Assets”. If the demand is coming from “Company Rental Asset” then the supply should also be in “Company Rental Asset” is it? Seems other line data is coming from the interco PO line but not the ownership. Is there a setting known to anyone to control this be

Those of you who are actively managing subcon work in IFS; have you figured out a way to control the release of PR’s upon release of a shop order? Our subcon PR’s release the moment a Shop order is created, however the subcon portion on a routing may not come up for a week or two. Is there a way to control the release/unrelease of the subcon on the operation no?  I’m guessing it might have something to do with Outside OP Supply Type, but I am not sure you can stop it by changing it. Thanks.

Is there a conference coming for IFS users to participate?

Has anyone found a way around editing PO lines in the Purchase Order Lines window?I specifically want to update the Planned Receipt Date of the line.I enabled the edit using the page designer but the save option is not enabled after the edit.  

I am working for a customer that creates a request for quotation for most purchases.  IFS Cloud does not support capturing charges the same as on a purchase order on the order quotation or the purchase requisition. Has anyone experienced this and how did you overcome? ThanksRichard 

Hello!Does anyone know if there is a change in Cloud from apps9 in the behaviour on Purchase Order Confirmation Reminders? In apps9 the PO is updated on the Order history with date for the sent reminder but in cloud there seems to be a gap where the reminder is sent correctly but it never updates the PO history.Is this correct bahavior from Cloud or a bug? Best RegardsEmma

Hello,I am currently trying to get customer orders that were in blocked status and then released from blocked status, to process normally and reserve items. (Basically continue as they normally behave when they do not have blocked status). As it currently stands, orders that are blocked do not reserve parts or process normally when released from their blocked status. How do I get these orders to “refire” automatically when manually released from blocked status?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Bryan

I am setting up automatic order processing where I want to automate the steps from releasing the PR and up to a released PO.Found that when automatic order processing is handling the PR, it automatically creates one PO per line.If I do it manually (select lines, release and convert to PO) the lines are merged into one PO.There are a lot of smart people here, can aynone figure out why?And even better, find a workaround. I don’t want to send single line PO’s to suppliers.I’m on 25R2.

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?

Hello Community, In Project Navigator, Planned Revenue field sums up all Customer Orders connected to the respective activity. Same applies even for connected customer orders that are is cancelled or invoiced and credited. Is there any way to reduce the amount of planned revenue, apart from the extreme way of running the Customer Order cleanup, which will clean all the customer orders for a site before a given date? Thanks in advance,Lauri 

Hello All,  Working on projects within IFS, an order has been rasied, receipted and fully invoiced. However it was a larger order and three invoices matched.  We generated unfinished activities and can see there is a penny rounding error and the PO will need amending.  The only way I can see to correct this is to un-receipt the very small difference, to allow a purchase order change order to be created so that the PO quantitiy matches the invoiced quanitty shown below. This is a huge amount of effort just to remove a penny to close a project, does anyone know a better process?   

Hi IFS Community!I’ve been tasked with hunting down why a Scheduled Database Task for process Mrp_Process_API.Schedule_Mrp_Process__ keeps ending with a status of ‘Error’. The Error Text field has a notice “This background job was set to state Error because the executing Oracle process was killed. ( Detected by cleanup process at 2025-01-08-23.49.11 )”. I’ve checked out a few other Community posts noting that the Light Cleanup process may be responsible, but the Light Cleanup job was posted / started executing 2 seconds after the time reported in the MRP background job. The last bit of output in the background job is:“Site X MS Calculation for MS parts that have received exploded demand started at 20250108 21:36:24”I’ve checked out the Oracle Alert log and other background jobs executing around the same time that the process was killed, but the only thing that I see being suspicious is this entry in the Oracle Alert log:2025-01-08T23:54:59.981027-06:00
