Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

While utilizing the MRP Action Proposals I do not see a Supplier showing up in the the “Supplier” column for many of the different MRP Messages.  For example, I have an Inventory Part with one supplier up on the Supplier for Purchase Part page, and when MRP runs the Action Proposal says “needs orders” but the Supplier doesn’t show up.  If I right click and select the “Follow Up” option the correct Supplier appears in the Purchase Requisition Lines, which is a good thing, but why doesn’t the Supplier automatically show up (as a suggestion) in the Action Proposals page?  Is there a setting that I may be missing to have the Action Proposal indicate the Primary Supplier from the Supplier for Purchase Part page?  

Is there any way in which you can trace which purchase order lines have been raised against specific material requisitions?  I can trace a purchase order line back to the purchase requisition but there doesn’t seem to be a link back to the demand source of that purchase requisition.

Hello - I added a non-inventory to a sales order and released the sales order. The Purchase Requisition was created. I need to add NO PART REQUISITION lines to the req before I convert the req to a PO. I received an error message that the line could not be inserted in ORDER CODE 2 - DIRECT DELIVERY. I then tried creating another req and added all the NO PART REQ lines, but I could not add the req to the first PO. Any ideas?

 How to revert a Confirmed PO to Released state ? 

Hi IFS Community,I am exploring a way to automate procurement of component parts linked to a parent part when Order Point Planning (OPP) triggers a Purchase Requisition (PR) for the parent.Example Scenario:A parent part "Wheel" has a BOM with components like "Tire", "Rim", etc.When OPP triggers a PR for the "Wheel" (due to reaching its order point), I need the system to automatically generate PRs for its components (Tires, Rims) as well.Thanks in advance.

Hi AllI am trying to test the emailing of RFQ to share with suppliers. First I tried to email it myself.  However in the application messages, the following error appears and sending fails.   

Hello All, I have a question regarding the Supply Chain/Invoicing system in IFS that I cannot seem to find a solution for. A customer of ours has setup an online market place that they want us to start using to “shop” for better prices on component parts we buy for their products. Right now, we’re using IFS to generate PORs → POs → Arrival → Invoicing to satisfy demand and stock the components. However, they want us to be generation POs and invoices on their market place. I don’t see a way in IFS that this solution could be accomplished, as we would still have to generate a PO in our system and receive the stock in. We still need MRP to keep track of when we need parts. I had thought about putting in a $0 purchase order, but that would create a financial variance then that would need reconciled. I don’t believe this is something that could be addressed using VMI either. Not sure if anyone has come across this scenario before, but wanted to ask the community. Thank you!

Hi AllWe noticed that when a supplier sends an order quotation as a reply to an RFQ, the total price per quotation is not reflected in IFS. e.g. The total of the following 2 lines is not calculated  How big of a development is it, do you think if we are to fetch the Price total per order quotation? Or am I missing something? Next question is the order quotation number sequence. We cannot control it. I was thinking like having a reference to the requisition no. e.g. If the Requisition is 518, the quotation numbers should be 518-1, 518-2, etc Is this possible at all? I know IFS has screens like Coordinator Groups and Enterprise Identities Series which gives me the option to decide the next in sequence. It is missing Order Quotation. Isn't this something IFS needs to develop? Thanks,Asela 

One of our buyers is getting this error message when trying to connect a PO line to a project:  

Hi Community We use serial tracked part rentals. When we have a, say, a large PO, we need to manually enter quantity 1 for each line. That's a lot of work. Is there an easy way to automate this?  Thanks,Asela

I’ve setup Purchase Order Authorization rules. Rules are Released. The rule is wide open so all of the “Apply Regardless..” are checked. The Min on the rule is set to $500,000I have a Supplier Agreement of type Blanket Purchase Order. I go and Create Supplier Agreement Release, and create a release for a PO value of $750,000. The PO goes directly to a Released status, and it does not trigger the authorization rule. Why?Why would a Blanket Release not trigger the Purchase Order Authorization rule when the value is clearly above the minimum of the PO rule?IFSAPP10, UPD6

Hi Community,I was wondering if anyone had any clever thoughts on how to somehow “link” Inventory Parts that are moulded in a family tool and always need to be ordered together even when part quantities become misaligned and MRP suggests ordering one before the other.Interested to hear any of your thoughts :)Cheers,Wade

In a Supplier Agreement, when would I want to use the Agreement Type of Blanket Order and when would I want to use Purchase Agreement?  What is the difference?

Hello everyone, I am trying to explore the supplier statistics feature but I dont get any data, even if I populate the data “F2” i get no result, any feedback?IFS10APP

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.
