Trouble Closing Purchase Order Lines After Quantity Change

I’m trying to close out a purchase order but can’t close out two of its lines due to a quantity change. Both received lines need to be updated from a quantity of 2 to 1.Specifically: The affected purchase order lines should be changed to: Qty Required: 1 Qty Pegged: 0 Qty Issued: 1 I tried unpegging and updating the quantities, but that didn’t work. I also looked into unreceiving the items, cancelling the PO lines, re opening the requisitions, and reducing the quantity on the work task itself but this also didn’t resolve the issue.All materials for this job are on hand, but the related work order can’t be closed until the purchase order is fully closed. Has anyone run into this issue before or have suggestions for how to resolve it?

MRP planning

Hi, Is it possible to set the MRP parameters to only look so far ahead? At the moment, as soon as a req is created (even if for next year), MRP suggests buying or making the stock. I do not want to consider that order until at 3 months prior to required date. It would be ideal to see demand without any req’s being generated. Using planning method G currently.    Thanks, Dan

Reverse Fetch Authorization Rule on PO (Uncheck Authorization Required on PO)

Hi, is there an easier way to uncheck the authorization required tick box on the PO header level? The way we know how to do it now is to reject authorization on each PO. We have about 150 POs which we’d like to reverse but we can’t do it in a more efficient manner right now.

Supplier Self Billing for new Site

We have a supplier set up to be a self-billing account and when we receive product at our various sites, we are seeing the “AS” self-billing invoices processed and in our supplier analysis to be posted.  However, we have recently added a new Site to our IFS system, and even though we are using the same supplier, the receipts done in this new Site are not being processed as a self-billing invoice.  Is there another setting that we are missing or something else that has to be run that is Site specific?

How to bring Customer Owned stock into Inventory

Hello, We work with many customer owned stock items that are issued to shop orders and work orders. Currently we raise a zero dollar PR/PO and receipt the items.On the Supplier for Purch Part the Ownership is set as Customer Owned. Yet the ownership on the PO line always defaults to Company Owned and if not noticed, often forces cancellation and recreation of the PO resulting in wasted time and inefficiencies. What is the best way/what settings are needed to bring these items into stock with the ownership as Customer Owned?

Master Schedule Item - Action Proposals

We have turnkey finished good items that are MS items with MS Demand since they are directly forecasted.  The issue is when these items are purchased, they do not get action messages like MRP items do - MRP Action Proposals.For example - we will order the MS item based off demand.  When the demand changes and the delivery date may need to be advanced, pushed out or if there is no more demand it would need to be canceled, we do not see these messages.We see Early Order, Late Order or Remove order in MRP Action Proposals and would like to see the same messages for MS items.  Maybe there is a different way to set up these items so they are not MS and we can forecast them and see the MRP Action Proposals?  We are in IFS Cloud

Demand Planner - Daily Aggregation Job takes too long

This is an interesting one, and I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing something similar. For reference, we're on IFS Apps 10 UPD17.We run the daily aggregation job just after midnight. A couple of years ago, it would finish before 9 a.m. By last year, it was running until 11 a.m., and this year it's progressively pushed out to around 2 p.m.Perhaps it's just how the algorithm scales with data volume, but has anyone else seen this kind of trend? If so, how did you address or resolve it?

Master Scheduling 1 parameters explained

So we are using MS Level 1 to essentially enter forecasts that will then drive demand signals to other sites. We have one internal supplier (finished goods) and various external suppliers (finished goods and raw material) setup in 4 different sites. We normally use distribution orders auto generate the required purchase reqs and shop order reqs that Supply Chain needs to fulfill the different demand and supply signals required through out our distribution and manufacturing network. One thing we have struggled to setup correctly and understand has been some of the parameters in Master Schedule 1 Part.We understand that every company has unique ways of handling Master Scheduling, but it is how you setup the parameters that makes a big different between trusting and not trusting the output you get from the Master Schedule.My question is simple: can some one explained to me exactly how the yellow highlighted fields and the red circled drop down options work and how they affect each other a

Inter-Site Profitability (using a non-profitable customer record)

We have a unique setup from what we’ve heard from IFS where we have 1 site per geographical location meaning that even though we have 4 buildings in SC, we only have the 1 site. This simplifies part setup etc. This said, currently we have SITE1 SUPP, SITE2 SUPP, and SITE4 SUPP. 1 is for SC, 2 is OH, 3 is France. We have another company setup for the UK along with their own site and France’s primary vendor is SITE4 but the catch is that they don’t use SITE4 SUPP because it’s not setup for profitability. We use SITE4 SUPP for non-profitable goods exchange from the US to France. I’ll note as well, it is not possible to have multiple vendors or customers to the same Site for inter-site functionality. S4 uses their own vendor code that is setup for profitability between S4 and the UK and the UK also has their own non-intersite customer setup for Site 4’s customer orders. I have setup the UK now so that 4 will issue a PO to the UK vendor. The vendor has been made intersite for the UK and all

M92 M93 Settings using Non Stock and Purchase Group

I think this may be an obvious answer that I’m missing.   We want to start using Purchase Parts only (no Inventory Part record) to buy packaging material.  Previously we have set up Inventory Parts, received these into stock and then immediately adjusting off stock which is a bit of a waste of effort.  The initial reason for using Inventory Parts rather than just non-stock is so we can handle the different pricing/MOQs etc - plus saves the Buyer having to type in the descriptions and pre-posting on each order. We've investigated setting up Purchase Groups against Purchase Parts to drive the postings into a particular Acc/CC/Code Part D. All works fine/as expected.   The challenge now is that having set up M92 and M93 to be driven off C31 Purchase Group our ‘normal’ non-stock PO Lines error because they are manually pre-posted - and we need to retain this as the Code Part C and D particularly will be specific - not necessarily Site or Supplier, for example.Does anyone have any suggestio

Supplier Agreement status remains active after 'Valid to' date passed

Hi All I have observed this on previous IFS versions as well. This is 24.1.9 The validity period has passed, but the agreement remains active. Isn't this fundamentally wrong?  Thanks,Asela

Cloud 24R2 - Purchase Requisition and RFQ issue

I am coming across an issue with IFS Cloud 24R1 where a Request for Order Quotation has been raised from a Purchase Requisition in error and the RFQ then fully deleted. Raising the RFQ changes the Request Type to Quotation Request, which sticks, even when the RFQ is deleted. If the Purchase Requisition Line is authorised, the Request Type cannot then be changed back to Purchase Request, and this forces the User to create and process a Request for Order Quotation through to approval. This feels like a bug and the current process is not user friendly leaving the User with an authorised Purchase Requisition Line that they cannot convert to a Purchase Order without going through the lengthy RFQ process to approval.
