Hi All, I am seeing this weird behaviour in count reports window. I want to adjust it in from the count report 1 to 50 but it is not filtering correctly. Instead of 1,2,3 it shows as 1,10,11. Is there a way to over come this, customer wants to see them in a sequence and unable to query for the count reports 1..50 as it would not show those count reports.Thanks,Chamath

I’m in IFS Cloud 22R1 Is there any way to see, in the main application, what Forecast Model/parameters IFS has selected when the forecast model for the Flow/Part has been set to “Best Fit” ? I can see this info in the Demand Plan Client, but can’t find it displayed in any of the Cloud screens.DP Client: Cloud: 

Hi Experts,Has anyone faced below issue in Export licenses.My customer is in IFS Cloud 24.1.2 version. Even when the customer orders are connected to export license, net amount of the CO line is not fetched to the below fields.I checked the sales parts prices are defined and the net amounts are visible in the CO line level as well.I checked internal cloud env in 24R2 and it works fine. Just wondering if this is an issue in this 24.1.2 version.Anyone know any info in this please?  Thanks,Chamath

Can I also use these two SQL statements as a combination.I need the issues for sales orders plus inventory issues. Thanks for your help.Henning

Hi Is there a way to set the Qty to be inspected on the P.Req or PO lines instead of at receipt or on the part? We purchase quite a lot on the No Part Lines tab as a lot of the purchases are a once of unique purchase that is directly issued/consumed by our projects. Some of these parts would need to be inspected by the engineers who are doing the P.Req and POs. They want to set the line to be inspected when doing the P.Req or reviewing the PO before release. Is that possible?

Hi All, In Apps9, can we have a common Wanted Receipt Date for multiple Purchase Requisitions?Lets say we have 3 customer orders where wanted delivery dates are  5/19/2025 , 5/26/2025 and 6/2/2025.Then we run MRP and create Purchase Requisitions Lines. Lets assume that lead time is zero. Wanted Receipt Dates shown in Purchase Requisitions Lines are 5/14/2025, 5/21/2025 and 5/28/2025.  Currently, we manually change the Wanted Receipt Date for a one common date so that all goods will be delivered on that day making it easy for the warehouse. However, this is a tedious task given the high amount of requisitions lines. Is there a way to achieve this more efficiently with minimum manual intervention.   

We are using supplier agreements in IFS to handle the price lists received from suppliers. This is a good way to keep track of updated prices. However, some suppliers also give a more general discount, not based per part or purchase order line, which we want to handle in IFS. The principle would be to handle the supplier’s price list in supplier agreement in IFS and then add discounts on the PO based on discount models: Examples of discount models from the suppliers: Discount per order based per total order value (per order) Fixed discount on all ordersWe have tried to use the assortment in IFS to calculate discount per order, regardless of purchase part. We could only get the discount collected if there is a price in “Supplier for purchase part” in IFS. If we add assortment to the same supplier agreement as where the prices are defined, the prices seem to override the general discount in the assortment.  Please let me know if there is a way in IFS 10 to handle discounts per order or s

Hi All,Managing freight costs and allocating various charges to inventory part cost can be a challenging process. Within IFS, there are several methods to handle this — for example, by defining an overhead or using purchase charges combined with different distribution methods.This process is straightforward as long as we know the charge amounts before the goods are received, allowing us to adjust the purchase order accordingly.However, I often encounter difficulties when freight costs are unknown at the time of receipt. For instance, we may receive the freight invoice two weeks after the goods have been received. I would like to ask what is the best approach to add these charges to the inventory cost of the parts in such cases? Re-receiving the PO does not appear to be an option.Could you please share how you typically manage these situations?Thanks,Chamath

I’ve been testing out seasonal profiles in demand planner (Cloud 23R1), but I am struggling to understand the results and hoping someone may be able to explain the detail. My understanding is when you create a seasonal profile and then apply it to a forecast, the total forecast sum will be adjusted by the seasonality index for each period. To test, I created a forecast part & single base flow. I then created a manual seasonal profile for the part. I created the forecast (18 months, Best Fit) , then compared the figures with and without the seasonal profile applied. Questions:Why does the total forecast sum for Y1 reduce from 166,905 to 102,596? If I calculate the seasonality index based on the 102,596, for Y1, it lines up, but I cannot explain where the 102,596 has come from? Why is the system forecast Jan-June Y2 now the exact same values as Jan-June Y1 when seasonality is applied? Before seasonality is applied Y2 system forecast values are different.  

Can you deactivate a non-inventory Purchase Part so it cannot be used again?  Essentially, it is obsolete with not replacement.  I can’t find a way to keep it from being requested on a purchase requisition.

Hi, Could someone shed a light on the issue below? In IFS9, on the Purchase Req Lines, I am able to see whether the Req line has or not an attachment, which helps me to check any important document before converting into PO. The same does not happen in IFS Cloud.  But, the info is on Purchase Requisitions. How can we add the same info that is on Purchase Requisition to Purchase Requisition Lines? Thanks  Thanks

I am trying to enable a custom event on the PO to verify if there is an attachment before it it sent for Authorization. I am using the PO Status as the trigger but the alert will only come after the Authorization step. Any suggestions? Thanks

Can anyone confirm the detail around the the calculations relating to DDMRP, mainly the Calculated ADU and background data that is used for the calculations? I understand the set up and what DDMRP does, however it is not 100% clear on the following;When running the Calculate Historical Average Daily Usage, does this calculate based on the Site Distribution Calendar? If a business only operates Mon-Fri, and they have a Distribution Calendar Schedule that has 7 days but working time on Sat and Sunday = 0 min, is this factored in? If this calculates using calendar days, surely this will result in a lower ADU than actual, where the business only operates 5 days in every 7? Is there a way to view the Standard Deviation Calculations and how the Std Dev Issues in Lead Time is calculated? Same question for Avg No Of Issues In Lead Time? If a business is not getting ADU figures that do not seem right, how can these be analysed quickly and effectively? For Avg No Of Issues In Lead Time, what doe

Good Morning,I am after some help with Demand Planner and its relationship to forecast part.I have a really old Part that has no sales since at least 2022 on its base flow, yet the Part Classification is still showing IntermittentHow can we get this to move to TerminatedThe combined Flow also has no sales and is also showing as Intermittent.Do we need to Recalculate Historic Demand from the Aggregation type?Using IFS Apps 9 

In IFS10 there is in inventory part planning data Time Phased Safety Stock. Can it be used without IRP module? I tried to set it up to purchase raw parts and run MRP,  but there was no demand to fullfill the buffer.

Due to tariffs increases and surcharges, we are running into an issue of not quoting correct pricing. Today our pulls from cost set 5, which is what is on our supplier for purchase part, this currently re-calculates once a week. Our issue is that we are beginning to quote out to Q4 and we know we have pricing increases coming and would like to capture theses costs for quoting purposes but not skew current pricing that is being used.  We are currently in IFS 10 app 19. 

When a user attempts to update the expiry date in a service contract, the "Valid To" date is usually updated automatically in the PM settings. However, for certain contracts, this update does not occur, leading to the following notification.

Does anyone know if there is a mechanism for deleting multiple Supplier for Purchase Part Price List entries rather than having to go into each SFPP record and deleting one by one?  

Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to have an RMA show up in the Master Schedule as it is a type of supply which can influence the supply for the MS leading into actions.

Purchase order No par lines In IFS Cloud, is there any way to hide the the attached documents in the form of No Part lines ? The firs content is the Line No wheareas I expected the Attached document sign  Thanks 

We have raw materials that are used for multiple customers. When we qualify a new supplier our customers have to approve those suppliers which can take 3-6 months. Is there standard functionality that can prevent a raw material item from being used for a specific finished good item but allow it to continue being used for a different finished good? All our finished goods are unique custom part numbers. Example:Raw material part # 123 is used in end customer items #456 & #789. I am qualifying a new supplier for part #123. The customer for #456 has approved the supplier but the customer for #789 has not.  I realize I can have all that raw material from the new supplier come into inspect and have availability controls but I am trying to avoid having to manually release it every time for the customer who has approved it or creating new part numbers. I just want the system to not allow us to consume it for item #789.

I need help to setup (ITS) INET_TRANS to create incoming Customer Orders. Where can I find a sample XML file? How do I know what fields are required? Our customers are wanting to us their orders electronically. Your assistance is appreciated. We on IFSAPPS10 IEE version. Thank you,

Hi Team,The Package Part functionality is currently limited to sales. However, in the inter-company transaction flow, there's a requirement to receive the parts at the demanding site as a Package Part through the inbound logistics process, rather than as individual componentsHas anyone been able to handle this within the core functionality? 

Hi All,I’m working to better understand the fields and impact of the Supplier - “Contacts” & “Communication Methods” Question 1: What does the Communication Methods and Contacts help once set up… the only thing I can think of is:“Supplier Contact” field under the Tab “Purchase Address Info” which drive Emailing the Purchase Order, and Potentially the SRM Module if used.  Question 2: What is the benefit of populating the following fields: Communication Method:Default per Method Default per Method and AddressContacts:Address Primary Address Secondary Supplier Primary Supplier SecondaryThank you,Alex
