Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hi,Is there a way to split purchase order lines easily in IFS? Today we use the copy lines or dublicate. But is there an easier way, that splits if the orginale line is ex. 10000 pcs, then you can split it into two lines of ex. 6000 and 4000? And a way to see, that these lines earlier was one line. Identify the order line has been split into two.Used to this from other ERP systems, so hope IFS has the same features, but have not been able to find it (yet).Thanks🤞BrAnders

Hello Community,How to prevent opening a purchase order without a purchase request?

I recently add an issue working on a case for a big prospect. This prospect already have extensive authorizations rules for purchase requests and purchase orders.1- one of its rule is that the requester is part to all the authorization process from the request to the order.In the Purchase authorization basic data, you can select the requisitioner as authorization type. It works perfectly for un purchase requisition authorization rule … didn’t work at all with a purchase order authorization rule.  There is no error message, the line with the requisitioner just didn’t show up!The requisitioner is no more a rule available for the purchase order authorization rules. PURCHASE REQUISITION AUTHORIZATION RULES

Hi,We have a requirement where we need to have authorization steps that are not dependent on each other in PR authorization routing. would really appreciate if any experience on this can be shared.The business requirement is that there are cases where certain authorizers can authorize without waiting for another but the sequential authorization routing blocks this.If we can make one of the below examples work in IFS that would help Example 1 : Suppose there are 5 authorization steps.

Hello, I have the following scenario and would like your advice about it:2 intercompanies involved - Primary and subsidiary company involved in non stock parts.The primary company created a customer order and generates the purchase order to the subsidiary company. Following several links on IFS, if a company starts from a customer order, the following happens:3 companies are involved:1 external CO generates1 Internal Purchase order and 1 Internal CO. For intercompany flow between 2 companies, it starts with the following:1 internal PO generates 1 internal CO. In my case it involves a transaction between 2 internal companies and it starts from a customer order. Is it feasible ? Thanking you for your feedback. BRLakshmi

I am trying to use gmail as the host for sending POs to supplier contacts via email.  I am getting an error message that the username and password are not accepted.  I am using my personal gmail account as the host to practice/test (to see if I can get it to work), as the customer is using gmail as their corporate email.  I have checked and rechecked the username and password and I am sure it is correct (it is my personal gmail account after all:)) Here is how the mail sender is set up:  If I change the host, user, password, and default mail sender to my company’s Outlook 365 info, I can generate emails with PO attached.  It is just when I use the gmail info that I get an error message and am not able to send emails with PO attached through the Purchase Order screen.

Hi,My question is around how to marry up the Demand Planner forecast and Product Family forecast at MSL0Now I understand that Demand Planner looks at the history and predicts the forecast.When it comes to S&OP it looks at several criteria for an instance production plan, business opportunity forecast , and generate a plan for the product family which can then be imported to MSL0 which can then be dis-aggregated to MSL1Is there a better way to manage DP forecast and S&OP forecast together ? Kind RegardsYashodha  

Hello All, I have come across an issue where when I am using Moveable Holidays these are only considered to be in the past and not applied as default in the future (therefore forecasted at default value).What I mean is, if Period 52 (set to weeks in DP Server) has been our shutdown and I had generated that in the Moveable Holidays as well as future dates for Period 52, the DP Client checks what was before the holiday period in the past (demand registered) and after and then fills in that gap using it as base for calculation of the forecast for the same period in the future.What shall I do for the DP Client to generate the future period 52 to be projected at 0 as this is our shutdown and we are not accepting demand for period 52 of any year?Would anyone here have an idea what I can do, as I have searched through everything and I cannot find a solution to this. This is to help us with maintaining materials and packaging stocks at right level around t

How do I find the original purchase order amount?

Hi  I am unable to convert purchase requisition lines to existing RFQ’s when the lines are project connected. Both lines are on the same req or on different reqs. I just get the ‘No Requests Exist’ message.Anybody seen this behaviour before? It seems to work fine when I test using non-project connected lines. This is common practice, to add onto existing RFQ’s which would create new revisions. I tried the ‘Create Part Request Lines’ button within the RFQ itself, which allows me to add directly to the RFQ. Albeit the new line is therefore not project connected. When trying to convert the quote to a PO (1 line prj connected, 1 line not) I get an invalid delivery address specified error.  Any guidance would be appreciated  ThanksJames
