Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

So we are running IFS Apps 10 Update 20 (Enterprise Explorer) and have installed Demand Client 6.0.3.7. We have a running Demand client server (SfdPrdWinAtlu01) and are connecting on Port Number 5010. We initially were getting an Invalid password or username error. After finding the User Demand Access screen in IFS and resetting password on our user, we were able to get past that error and now are getting this, which is less than helpful. I checked the C:\Program Files (x86)\IFS Applications\Demand Plan Client\Log Files\ folder, and unfortunately there’s nothing there.  Has anyone else seen this error before or have any ideas?

Is it possible to run a selective MRP based on Site and Supplier only?

We are using IFS10 with update 3.We have created several KanBan circuits in our test environment and these are working as expected. However, we have some that are failing. We get this warning on the background job: Replenishment request failed to create a transport task for the kanban circuit (XXXX). Verify inventory exists to transport.We have checked all the setttings of the KanBan with one that does create the Transport task and they are identical. We have checked the location and the material in stock they are all available. I have tried manually to move the parts to and from the locations by manually creating transport tasks and executing them without any problems or errors.What can be the cause of the missing transport task?  

We are seeking to reserve materials automatically for the original requisitoner upon goods receipt following the creation of a purchase requisition. Could you provide instructions on how to set up this automated process?This PR is not related to any Customer Order, Shop Order or any Maintenance Order.

Hi Community,I have a purchase order report, which i will use the same layout for “Print Order” and “Print order Changes”.In my report I have differentiated with adding a Visibility condition “/tns:PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP_REQUEST/tns:PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP_DATA_ASSEMBLY_PARAMETERS/tns:PUR_ORDER_PRINT_OPTION/tns:VALUE = 'Order Changes'” Now, when I do “Print Order”, the fields, MANUF_PART_NO, SUPPLIER_PART_NO AND TAG_NO should get printed.and when I say Print Change Order, the fields, New_Manuf, New_Supplier, New_Tag should get printed in the report.The existing visible condition for “Print Order” which I already have in the layout for Manuf_Part, Supplier_Part and Tag_no is“string-length(tns:PART_NO) > 0 and (../../tns:PRINT_PRICES_INCL_TAX = 'N') and tns:DISPLAY_LINE = 'TRUE' and (../../tns:USE_PRICE_INCL_TAX != 'TRUE')”.Now I have included the fields, New_manuf, New_Supplier and New_Tag in the layout.How Should I add the visible condition to the new fields so that it will be on

Hello Team,I have a situation where my Customer has multiple Sites that are all buying from the same Supplier. In this situation, there are different “Internal Buyers” that should be assigned according to the specific Site that is procuring.The Supplier record in IFS only has a single field for “Buyer” and it is not Site specific.How could my customer accomplish this?  

On a Purchae Order, in APPS10 we’re seeing that the Wanted Delivery Date calculation is allowing the date to be a weeekend or holiday. Is there a way to make that change itself to a work day? 

I have created a Maintenance Purchase Requisition from a Work Task, and within the Maintenance Purchase Requisition, I have added a No Part Line, connected to a Supplier. Then I converted the No Part Line to a Purchase Order.Could you please explain how to process and close the PO? The Standard Purchase Order process does not apply here, as I received the below error message.(I executed the ‘Receipt’ button in the above screenshot)Thank you in advance!

Hi,What meaning Sample Size in Analysis Result? And where does itcome from?

We sometimes receive government furnished property, and in the past we were told that the best way to get these parts into inventory would be to create a requisition, and then a PO, and then receive the parts. This has been working for us. However, whenever we add the parts to a purchase requisition and save, we get the following information message: Is there any way to disable this? Or is there a part setting we’re missing that would prevent this from showing up at all? The reason I ask is we know we have several thousand parts we’ll be receiving for a project in the future, and it’s going to be very tedious for our users to have to click “ok” here several thousand times. 

When our users complete a No Part Line in a Purchase Order, a pop-up asks for a Cost Cent.  The user has to click in the Cost Cent field, select an item from the drop-down list, Save and then Close.  When there are a lot of line items, this process needs to be followed for each line item.  This is extremely cumbersome when there are a significant number of line items.  Does anyone know of a way of streamlining this process?  For example, is there a way for setting a default Cost Cent (our users typically only use one cost centre)? Can the Cost Cent be populated on the Customer Order line instead of in the pop-up?..

Hi,Once a purchase order is authorized completely, is it possible to release it automatically by IFS itself? I know we can set up an event to achieve this, but does IFS have a standard configuration for this?Thanks.

Hi, Is there any way to revoke the approved count report performed at count result per count report screen.For example, user has approved certain counted part lines by mistakenly at count result per count report screen and now wants to revoke them back to original status at count result per count report screen itself.So, if there is any workaround or way for this, kindly suggest. Thanks. 

We need to know how to format currency or numeric field values in Aurena client.For example,“Price/Curr” and “Net Amt/Curr” field values in Purchase Order Lines. Currently we have below settings in Aurena client We want to format as per below highlighted format.  We tried in IEE as below and it works as expected. Is there any option in Aurena, we can achieve same results? Please let us knowThank you 

Hi IFS R&D / @johan.f.nilsson@ifs.com For one of our clients, I tried to set up supplier performance evaluation / rating. My conclusion is that this solution is insufficiently developed, based on the following points:Scoring Criteria of the Supplier Evaluation KPI can no longer be modified once they have been used in a Supplier Performance Evaluation Setup. Error message indicates that up to the Supplier Performance Evaluation Setup level you should delete everything, only you can only give the Suppler Performance Evaluation Setup status Obsolete and not delete it. Workflows need to be built for automation of kpi value. After technical inspection of the standard delivered workflow, the conclusion is that it does not work. Also the question that a workflow / configuration is needed for every new wish for the automatic filling of the kpi value? Display of supplier performance evaluation analysis is not optimal, more preferable would be a lobby page.
