We are trying to enter a Supplier for Purchase Part Record - supplier is set up as US$ and when we enter the part the Price Info comes up as US$ however as soon as we hit save it switches to CDN$ and it won’t let us change it. We need this to be US as the supplier and the purchase is to be in US

Can you peg/un-peg parts through the purchase order line?  I know you can manually peg through the customer order line or shop order, to an incoming PO but as a procurement team we would like the ability to manually peg a purchase order line to a customer/shop order via the PO.

 We are in the Kitchen Manufacturing industry, selling kitchen appliances to both retail customers (households) and contract customers (those involved in building apartments and houses). For instance, when we sell an oven, it’s available to both types of customers. These appliances are sourced from external suppliers.At present, we need to develop separate procurement plans for the two customer segments: one to meet retail demand and another for contract customer demand. By doing so, we can send tailored procurement plans to our suppliers, ensuring better pricing and more accurate forecasting.Is there a way we can manage this split procurement process within IFS without creating separate SKUs for retail and contract customers?

Hi Community,Good dayWe need help. We have found that when we convert Purchase Requistions to Purchase Orders from Purchase Requisition Lines, the currency code is not taken into account. Example: I have a part with a Purchase Requistion in EUR and a part with a PR in USD, same supplier for part/purchase requisition 1 and 2. When I convert these two Purchase requisition lines (screen Purchase Requisition Lines), we expected to obtain two Purchase Orders, one for each currency code but in the end we only obtain one.Does anyone can help ? Thanks in advance

Is there a way to delete multiple suppliers at one time in the Supplier for Purchase Parts module?

Hi,I created the approval rule according to my project group.I have two approval rules, T-SAS001 and T-SAS002.While the priority of T-SAS001 is 20, the priority of the other approval rule is 21.Currently, when I select the project code that falls within the scope of the approval rule with priority 21, it falls into the approval rule with priority 20. What should I do?

Hi Guys So my user made a Project Connection via the PO line and the PO is authorized and released. Now he wants to change the Project connection. Usually after releasing the PO, changing the project connection is not allowed. Then I tried using a POCO and strangely enough, POCO doesn't have the option to change project connection either. Is this correct? IFS version 24.1.1. Thanks,Asela 

We have encountered an error in the IFS App 10. I have verified that the condition code is connected to the relevant part, including the PO. However, the error persists while issuing the material throughout the work order.Additionally, I have checked the posting control, and the condition code and account appear to be properly connected. Despite this, the issue remains unresolved.An important observation is that the error does not occur with newly created parts. It only appears with existing parts that either have inventory or no inventory items. Need a guidance to resolve this error.

Hi,In IFS Cloud page Purchase Receipts History we have the column Actual Arrival Date we can see the date and time. But we only see time 00:00 but the time in the Receipt is 10:01.Is the Actual Arrival Date in the Purchase Receipts History page fetched from the Actual Arrival Date in the Receipt page? If yes, is it correct that the time is not fetched to the Actual Arrival Date in the Purchase Receipts History page?  

 Hi,What does the Valid for Original Authorization do?Our company has been using IFS for three years and we have just activated the Approval rules.

Is this possible?I request your help. 

Hello All,I am hoping for some guidance on Supplier forecast volatility. I’m curious if there is a way in IFS to understand the order forecasts and supplier commitment changes over time to address supply volatility and ensure supplier accountability. I have seen Supplier 360, but there does not seem to be any reports or areas where you can essentially view their forecasted buys with the changes. Essentially if a Supplier commits to buy $100,000 of part XYZ, but they only bought $20,000 over that period of time.Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

How do you configure self-billing supplier invoice from a purchase order receipt in IFS Cloud?We’ve set up:Self-Billing on the Supplier  enable sending self-billing invoice on “Receiving Advice” by setting Message Class SBIINV for the supplier type of Receiving Advice must be selected.With all of the above set, the supplier invoice is still not generated on receipt.I am getting a receipt advice, but no connected receipts 

I’m new to IFS and trying to confirm if you can set an allowable range for the on-time delivery?  We allow a 10-days early / 1-day late window we consider acceptable currently and I’d like to have that factoring into the logic within IFS if possible.  We are currently using IFS Aurena but starting the path to Cloud if there are differences between them.  

PO Milestone template id is set to be filled here.  and it should be fetched from the basic data here but it doesn't seem to work for me for some reason. Does it work for you?

The business would like to implement a process for reclaiming Parts Warranty.  They are wanting to track where a Part has failed within a 12month period after fitting to a Serial Object. The items are purchased against a Serial Object via Work Orders and issued as Materials. We want to track if the same Part Number against the same Serial Object is issued again within the 12months to flag to the User that the Item should be considered under warranty. How can we achieve this?  We are working within Apps 10 IEE. Thanks in advanceLisa
