25R1: Unable to add Configurable Part to Supplier Agreement

In IFS Cloud 25R1, I am unable to add one of our configurable parts to a Supplier Agreement. When attempting to add the part, I receive the following error:

"It is not allowed to enter a configured part."

 

 

 

Has this behavior changed in IFS Cloud 25R1?

If configurable parts are no longer supported directly, what is the recommended approach to achieve the same business requirement in Cloud?

 

In the previous Apps 9 environment, we were able to add configurable parts to Supplier Agreements without issue.

 

Any thoughts, suggestions, or guidance on how this can be achieved in IFS Cloud 25R1 would be highly appreciated.

Hi ​@chandana.kommineni 

Yes, this is standard and intended functionality in IFS Cloud 25R1. Not sure about APP9, no environment to check.

Why:

A configurable part (Configure-to-Order / CTO) does not represent a static item—its bill of materials, options, and final cost depend on a specific Configuration ID and set of characteristic values. Supplier Agreements are designed to maintain predetermined prices, quantity brackets (step pricing), and discount matrices for static part numbers. Supplier Agreement lines do not have the data structure to hold configuration specifications or calculate characteristic pricing.

Alternatives:

  • Standard Purchase Orders / Order-Based Quotations: Procure the configured parts directly via Purchase Orders or Request for Order Quotations where a specific Configuration ID can be assigned (often demand-driven from a Customer Order, Shop Order, or DOP).
  • Create Non-Configured / Discrete Part Numbers: If certain configurations are repeatedly purchased from the supplier at predetermined agreement prices, set up discrete, non-configurable purchase parts for those standard variants.
  • Supplier Assortment: If the agreement is intended to provide a general discount or terms across a group of parts rather than a fixed unit price, use Supplier Assortment lines on the agreement.
