Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hello there,How do you categorize your supplier for purchase parts?Is there a possible attribute on Supplier for purchase part that can be used for part categorization ? Kind regards,Johan 

We are using the IFS Demand Plan Client v6.0.3.Our planning team forecasts demand by fiscal week, but sometimes they would like to review the data rolled up to the fiscal month. As is common, our fiscal months do not line up with calendar months, but are groups of our fiscal weeks - in our case in a 4-4-5 weekly grouping.We have the period version on our server set to Weekly, and we have been able to define the correct fiscal weeks for planning. But, when the timeline is changed in the DP client to display Monthly, the system appears to divide the weekly numbers by days, determine how many days are in the calendar month, and then sum those days to give a calendar "monthly" total, instead of grouping the fiscal weeks. We've been told by our technical team that we can change the period version on the server to Monthly to define the months correctly, but we would have to trash all the current flows, lose all history, and then it’s likely that the weeks will not be correct.This seems like

So, I am creating a Transport Task From Site 1, Location A to Site 2 Location B (which has a drop off Transit location X).  The Transport Task applies the the drop off location and moves the part accordingly but it does not create another transport task automatically from Drop off Transit location X to Location B. What could be the reason? All previous Transport Tasks are on executed status.I have checked this in App10 and Aurena/Cloud also.

IFS APPS 10. We would like to test the usage of the “Estimated Future Demand” lobby element in our B2B Supplier Portal by having just one of our suppliers use it. Once we vet out the process, we will roll the lobby element out to the rest of the suppliers. Is there a way to allow just one of our suppliers to see the lobby element in the portal? Our purchasing team met with IFS on this and was told that it can be done, but I can’t find how. Thank you

For scheduling purposes, we want to be able to see a whole top level parent item and all its components all at once, with the current lead times of each part.  Is there a page where I can see all of that?  Or a report?

Hello experts,I am new to IFS would appreciate your help, We are currently using IFS application 10 and we create purchase order from Purchase requisition. When I try to create a External service order type PR, the No part tab gets disabled ( which I have been using to add freight cost for normal PR / PO)How can I add freight cost to an external service order when No part tab is disabled? Thanks in advance.

Hello, Currently I am trying to improve our manufacturing situation with manufacturing parts. our System is set up with planning method G. The problem that comes up quite often is that when there is a hold up at on of the production lines (assembly line missing a purchase part for example) the manufacturing does not know about that and keeps manufacturing parts according to the orders. now the manufactured parts pile up in the warehouse or at the assembly line while the line is waiting for the other parts. I tried to set the manufacturing to run on Kanban in IFS. so when the parts on hand quantity runs under a certain threshold, the request to produce more parts is created, this also limits the overproduction of parts. but when using the Kanban only for production, the system does not know when to order raw material since the Proposal Release has to be set to: Do not release and the part availability planning goes empty. If I do not set teh peroposal release to: Do not release and keep

I am getting the attached error when trying to specify an Internal Supplier and Supplier Site.  The error seems to suggest that there are already Purchase Parts at this site connected to this Supplier.  Do the parts need to be set up differently or is this an issue with the Supplier set up?

Hi Community, Is there anything that can be implemented in IFS to prevent IPAP due dates being updated when a PO is registered as arrived? When Pre-registering arrival/pre-receipt of order for P1079950, the Due date in IPAP shows as 31/12/2024 which is also reflected in the PO screen and is the correct due date, as the two images shown here The action of registering an arrival of a raw material PO is somehow adding on false additional days (date of receipt (05/11/24) minus planned arrival date (13/10/24) that is 23 days) to the IPAP due date (31/12/2024 + 23 = 23/01/2025) which giving the buyers incorrect information when managing their stocks and ensuring they have raw material to meet demand. But the PO screen still showing correct planned receipt date 31/12/2024. Best regards,Jason

Hi Guys,Is there any out of the box solution available to mass update the PO lines planned receipt date in one go for a specific purchase order.One purchase order usually contains the 30+ lines for different projects and parts with the same wanted receipt date on header. Seems changing the PO header wanted delivery data wont do any changes to the existing lines. Any one found a solution for this? Client is using 23R2 Thanks,Chamath

Hello,We received a request to setup 110 customers to auto invoicing so we usually setup the scheduled database tasks called batch create customer invoice and batch print customer invoice. However, it seems these database tasks only accepts one customer number per scheduled database task setup. Is there a way to automate multiple customers for these scheduled tasks instead of per each customer number? Note that these customers belong to different companies. Please advise. Thanks Note: We are currently in IFS10

I have created a combined flow as below. Based on our sales operation, I cannot define the base flows based on customer, customer group, market, region etc. My period version is in weeks and qualify job parameters are below.  When I’m running qualify job, it takes around 48 hours to complete the job. Will this be okay? Will this be affected other performance issues in the Cloud or is there any way that I can optimize the base flow query?
