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?

Explain unlimited supply date

Hello, For some reason, the authorizer detail is not fetching in purchase order atheization screen. Is there any setup for that?  

Hello all,We want to use the supplier calendar to reflect the impact of Chinese New Year in the planning leadtime. But for some reason I cannot seem to let it work. The steps taken so far:Created calendar; Entered exceptions to the calendar (start of CNY + start up time); Generated the calendar; Added the calendar to the supplier; Run Calculate Purchase Leadtime.I would expect the expected leadtime in the inventory part would be updated. But I do not see a change. Is the correct way to set it up? Any idea's, tips and tricks are highly appreciated.

Does anyone know if there are a notification option in Cloud for not accidentally purchase a part you already have created a PO for?

Hello, In IFS Applications 10 there was a Leadtime Auto option on Supplier for Purchase Part. I am currently working in a IFS Cloud 24R1 environment and can’t find this option, has it been moved somewhere else or is this functionality not available in IFS Cloud?BRSebastian

When you select lead time auto, do you need to change the lead time to 0 so it kicks in, or will it automatically calculate lead time for the PO and over-ride the number of days entered in the field?

Is there a way to automatically upload PO receipts that need to be zeroed out?

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.
