Hi Experts, I have a customer scenario as follows.A customer order comes for package part S which consists of part A, part B and part C.Now since one of the component of package part S is discontinued , there is another package part with composition of part A, part B and part D.and we want to send this new package part T instead of package part S.but to a customer order where they ordered package part S. how can we achieve this in IFSCloud.Any suggestions would be appriciated.Thank you. 

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

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?

HiWe have the issue that when we add our lines to the project demand in a specific order and then convert it to a Purchase Requisition the order of the lines change. This is causing issues as we add the lines according to an outside quote and it is hard to quality check the Purchase requisition if the lines are not in the order before creating the project supply request. Is there a way to create the project supply request lines in the same order as it was in the demand?

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.

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?

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

I have an order line I can’t change status from delivered to invoiced. Because this line stays on DELIVERED, stays on DELIVERED status too. Does somebody have an idea how change my line status?Thanks,  

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

Is it possible to define different default delivery address in site or in company basic data and can that be connected to supplier or to the item? For example supplier 12345 have always different delivery address we have in company basic data.

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,

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.  

Community, We are phasing out our current delivery address, and create a new one in Company. Below screenshot in Company window, we are totally closing down address ID 50, so we put this address Valid to Date to yesterday date, and we created a new address id 60, and we make address id 60 as the default Delivery Address. see below screenshot.Address ID 50 are phased outAddress ID 60 the issue is, when I am opening a new PO, or PR convert to PO, system always use 50 as the default delivery address. that’s really annoying.System still fetch default address ID 50Did we miss anything?  Thank you.

Hi everyone,My client is using the Self-service Procurement catalog and would like images added on the master part to be reflected on the catalog.It works when media is imported directly on IFS database. However, they also need the image to be  on the catalog by adding an url link or a link to their shared database on the media of the master part. Is it possible or not?Best regards, Laura

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)

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. 

I’m planning to change the PO creation for the items which configured as recurring. What could be the suitable option…? Note: Not using MRP.

Hello.Can someone explain to me how time-phased safety margin works?My idea with the tools is to be able to specify a safety stock that is above or below the calculated value.When I try to specify a value and date and update the IPR, the value I specified disappears and no change to the safety margin is made.IFS 10IPR

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.).

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.

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

Hi,I face this issue as you can find in the screen capture beneath while attempting to post a manual voucher.Is there an issue connected to consents ? Instructions to check in the event that it's the situation ?Best respectsThank you.  

Hello all, I am hoping to have some elements clarified as it related to lead time calculation and MRP for IFS Purchased Parts. On the inventory part record, the Purchasing Lead Time is calculated using the Calculate Purchase Leadtime, which takes several elements into consideration (supplier manufacturing lead time, external transport lead time, internal transport lead time, and internal inspection lead time). If this is not run, the field is blank, or a value can be entered. This seems to indicate the MRP uses the value in here for POR planning? Would this then mean that the Supplier Manufacturing Lead Time on the SFPP is not used for MRP? If the Purchasing Lead Time is left at 0 or no value is entered, would MRP default to using the SFPP leadtime?In this example, the PLT is set to 0 and SFPP record is set to 15 days. When MRP runs, would it default to 15 days even if there was a transport leadtime of 2 days? 

We use certain material to start up a production run, for example, on a mold setup we use a purging compound to clean out the molding machine for a resin change.  What is the best method for capturing the material at the start of a production run where the run size can vary from 10-20 pcs to 1000-5000 pcs yet the usage is material constant?  The intent is for the material to be picked up thru MRP and get ordered as needed rather than manually tracked and ordered.
