Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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? 

Kindly let me know how we can give access to users at warehouse level or inventory location level in IFS10.Best Regards,

Hi AllOne of our project Directors tries to authorize a POCO which was changed to a negative delta amount and he's getting the the error Insufficient privileges error message. This is how the applicable rule looks like: He previously succesfully authorized the PO, now only getting the error in POCO. What could be the reason? This is 24.1.1

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

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

Hi all!Is it possible to add supplier contact e-mail to the purchase order if contact is missing in the supplier view and the order is sent by the added e-mail? Or do the e-mail needs to be added in Supplier view? BREmma

I have a PO in Received status, and it had been Received/Closed but now it’s hanging in Received. There had been a Pending Change Order that was cancelled. I cannot simply Close. What are some other issues that can prevent it Closing, and how do I fix that?

I want to set min and max inventory levels for raw materials.  If the min I want to have on hand is 3400 and the max I want to have on hand is 6800, where do I set those levels?  And then if I have MOQs, how does this come into play?  Will MRP work with using mins and maxs?

I get this error when I try to register all lines.Would you help me? 

Is it possible to release a customer order from a blanket order to drive demand and ship? Current we have to enter a new CO and reduce the qty on the customer blanket order to keep track. We find this clunky and time consuming.

Hello,I'm getting the above error “Identical tax codes are not allowed. Adjust tax setup on address and/or object level. ” while trying to approve the invoice preview. Any ideas where it's originating or how to resolve it?  Thanks and best regards,

Kindly what are the conditions for the customer orders to appear in the tab page ‘available orders’ to connect them. I have one internal customer order with reserved status same site and customer as shipment but it doesn't appear, the 2 sites are in 2 different companies. we are using IFS10. the addresses are identical and delivery information as well.Thank you.

We are currently using IFS V9 and receive an updated price list from our supplier at the beginning of each year. Is there a way to automate the process of uploading the price list into the "Supplier for Purchase Part" - Price List? Manually updating the price list is very time-consuming due to the large number of parts involved, and I’m confident there must be a more efficient solution. Thanks.  

What will happen if include safety stock for planning method G parts?. Here we upload forecast and exists min. & max. stock levels. 

I have a ticket in with IFS about this issue at the moment but I also wanted to post it out here to let everyone else know that this is occurring in cloud today. On the IPAP screen there is a column called “projected quantity”. In the past, if you filtered the list on the “all” tab, projected qty would update based off of the available qty - the qty required for the specific order/filter applied. This was the logic in 10 at least. In cloud this does not happen and our buyers almost bought more material because the filter that’s being applied was not recalculating the projected qty.We regularly filter out MRP messages and won’t do the type of filtering that I’m doing below but the reason for filtering out the MRP messages is because it’s just a suggestion, we may move those orders around. The only way to remove the MRP messages from cloud is to delete the messages which we also don’t want to do.Please see my screenshots. 

I am looking for a report or a page in IFS that will show me an entire product structure including the primary suppliers for each purchase part.  Does such a thing exist in IFS?
