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. 

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 perfor

Hello everyone, I have a question about how the purchase return process is carried out with freight value embedded in that return in IFS App 10, why ask? Because when the Receipt was made, the freight was included to pay this freight and in the return of this purchase, despite having the freight field in the Additional Charges tab on the Invoice Request screen, IFS does not allow you to enter the value giving an error message.  I would like to know in this case how to put this freight amount in the Return of purchase of this material.

Hi, We are having repeat problems when creating receipts for Inventory Parts over the month end period. Often raw materials arrive over the weekend, and sometimes the last day of the month is a Saturday or Sunday, but they are not booked until Monday. When trying to backdate the receipt, it says it cannot be done because of the Inventory Statistics period being incorrect. Prior to Transferring Inventory Transactions, I tried going into the Inventory Transaction Details to change the applied date and had the message: “The new date must be equal to or greater than the start date of the latest period in the inventory value statistics” There has to be a way to allow this to happen. Can anyone help please? Thank you, John

I am trying to scrap an inventory item.  I do this regularly.  I am getting the following error when I try to register my inspection results:Field [PART NO] is mandatory for InventoryTransactionHistory and requires a value.We are stuck on how to correct this.

This may be a question with an obvious answer. I am creating a Kanban circuit (floor stock location) with replenishment from inventory location (main warehouse).The scenario is that the Kanban is the floor stock, and parts are always backflushed from the Kanban location (backflush from floor stock locations). The Kanban is replenished from the main warehouse when floor stock drops below a level (Kanban order point). Transport tasks are generated correctly to replenish the Kanban but need to ensure that the main warehouse always has sufficient stock on-hand to top up the Kanban.If the Inventory Part has a safety stock, is the qty in the Kanban taken into account when MRP checks if parts have dropped below the safety stock?And similarly, if the inventory part was planning method B with an order point, would the Kanban qty be taken into account when order proposals job checks if stock has dropped below the order point?I would assume that the Kanban qty is NO

Hi ,As suggested in below conversation, I set up the purchase part → Over Delivery → Action Authorized -->WarningThen I could go to register arrivals → Changed received qty→ Proceed with just a Warning. I understand, if I select “Error” it would stop proceeding. But The requirement of the customer is to have an addition authorization/ monitoring queue to control when accepting over delivery than what has ordered. Any suggestions? Many ThanksLK

Hello, We are using IFS Apps 9 and need to mass update suppliers that haven't been used in the last 10 years. We have around 4000 suppliers that need to be updated. I attempted to update the SUPPLIER_ENT table using an Oracle query to set their expiration dates, but encountered a read-only view error.Could you please advise on which view allows us to update the "Expiration Date" of suppliers? Are there any alternative methods to achieve this aside from using a backend query? Thank you!
