Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hi,The status is stopped in Incoming Customer Order. “ORA-20110: ExternalCustomerOrder.CUST_ORD_FOUND: Siparis *3011966 Oluşturuldu.” 

Hello!I found this check box on the shop order “Include as Supply” and based off the help screen, it sounds like if the box is deselected, the only thing that changes is that MRP doesn’t recognize it as supply for the demand.  Is that it?  Once the shop order is completed, closed, received into inventory, can we then use that part against demand? Wondering if this is a good option for PPAP parts that clutter my MRP action proposals (i.e. telling me I’m making it too early or to remove it).Thanks in advance!!

We have the following requirement. Discussed with several experts and finally posting here since we didn’t come across a solution that covers this 100%. Maybe the experts in the following forum can direct me in the right direction. We release a Purchase Order to our caterer 12 months prior with a approved value. The total value of the services are not going to exceed this original amount. However the caterer provides services at an agreed rate and the total amounts for each month may vary significantly. We need to settle the monthly invoices then and there! The variance is such that a previously agreed supply schedule cannot be accomodated. Ideally the payments should be authorized when the supplier sends the invoices. We have explored the following possibilities We explored the blanked PO option. But probably a PO line with partial receipts might be the best option. Wanted to understand what the others maybe using for a similar requirement. Thanks! We are in IFS9 and hope to go to 23R

 Hello, I started working as a module consultant in the IFS Digital transformation project. Can you help with screenshots and documentation of the purchasing module in IFSCloud?

How can I define the date of payment for payment schedule to purchase order?thery is the field “due date” but it cannot be editedIf you register a purchase order with an advance payment plan (you will not pay one advance payment at once), such a solution seems necessary 

Hello,I want to understand what are qty in WIP, Consumption from current available stock and future purchase requirement by a BOM/Product Structure.We have two sets of parts,One which are unique to a product structure. Shared parts across different product structures.Because we operate as MRP, I am struggling to calculate the Estimated to Complete cost majorly because of the WIP where for example there are 10 Shop Orders, and 8 of them have started, now the current stock in IPIS won’t reserve the stock for 2 remaining Shop Orders and therefore, the IPIS qty is not correct. Is there a better solution to calculate an ETC cost for a project in IFS APP10

Where can I export a list of Supplier names and their payment terms?

I’m getting following error when un issue materials.“The sum of un issue quantity, qty scrapped and open MRB qty is grater than the issue qty”

Hi,my customer is having issue with the Supplier Contact being erased when changing the Delivery Adress on the Purchase order. Is this standard behavior or is it an error? Thanks! BREmma

Dear community,I see the lobby “Order Management for Suppliers” in IEE but not in Aurena 10.What projections do I need to make it visible there?I’ve found this link but I can’t see all these projections in Aurena: B2B Order Management for Suppliers | IFS CommunityCan somebody help?

I am trying to add an approval template from new custom events for the order quotation approval screen, but the event does not work, the event that normally works for other screens does not work for this screen. How I can add an approlval template?

We have a situation where an order was entered on the system for Site A to have Site B “Internal Purchase Direct” some parts to their customer.  Site B processed the shipment from the Customer Order on 4/1/24 (at 4:15 pm).For some reason Site A cancelled the line on the Customer Order on 4/2/24 (at 9:48 am), where they were prompted to also cancel the Purchase order line for that order.  (The parts at this time were already “in transit”).Somehow our customer care personnel was able to perform the Register Direct Delivery on the product for the Customer Order line that was cancelled.  They performed this on 4/3/24 at 2:22 pm. Now, we have parts no longer In Transit, so we haven’t been able to Undo the Delivery, nor have we been able to figure out how to create an RMA from an “Internal Order Transit”.  The system will not let us.  Is this a bug, or what are we supposed to do now?   

Hi,Env: Cloud 23R2Question around Direct Delivery via Interco process (similar topics found on here)Project #123Company A & BIntercompany PO (A) raised against Project 123 creating Intercompany CO (B)Supply Code on CO is Purch Order Dir - creating external PO on (B)Register Direct Delivery is performed, closing external PO, delivering Interco CO and Closing Interco PO.If the Material is to be returned to the supplier, RMA is to be created on Interco CO (B) and Register Direct Returns is processed. What is missing?  Do I need to do a Supplier return on Interco PO (A) via Reg Inspection Results? I tried, but when trying to process the Supplier Shipment I get :ORA-20110: ShipmentRcptReturnUtil.INTERNTRANSNI: It is not allowed to Return for Credit when Internal Order Supply is used. ThanksJames  

Hello!I’m looking to have a process in IFS for Part Price Approvals. The idea is whenever a Buyer from our company negotiates a new price with a Supplier, that new price needs to be approved by their manager. We have an example template below for outside of IFS. Any suggestions? Is there an existing module for this? Thank you!  

We are having an issue with one of our users who is stating the default location is getting deleted without anyone modifying this in any way. Does anyone know of any processes that removes this automatically?   

This will be somewhat scatter brained because I’m unsure where to start. We’re using Apps9. Currently,  our system is driving purchasing and shop order reqs with start dates in the past.  this makes sense to me if we’re trying to meet a certain date for production due to sales orders etc based on the (poor) information we’re feeding the system, but obviously I cannot or produce order something to arrive in March if it’s already April.  Moreover, it doesn’t appear that MRP or Master Scheduling is cleaning up these back dated reqs.  Clearly step one is fix the bad data, but which besides lead times? I know I need to clean this information up, but it’s unclear where - these reqs are sitting in either a proposalcreated or planned status.  Any guidance on how to eat this elephant would be appreciated - it seems wholesale deleting them is an option, but given the amount of clean up utilities and other functions within IFS, that seems in-congruent with the way the rest of the system works.  

When we try to release a purchase order sometimes, we need to authorize it first. At that moment IFS application will send a notification to the authorizer via IFS Notify Me app 10. The approach is, first notification needs to be sent to step number 10, and upon step no 10 approval, the Next notification needs to be sent to the step number 20 authorizer. But the issue is, when I try to release the PO, this authorization notification is sent to all authorizers in steps number 10 and 20. Is there any way to resolve this issue?  

The required quantity can be edited, given that:The order is not an External Service Order (Order Code 6) The part on the purhase order line is not serial tracked at receiptThe client code (PurchaseOrderLineComponents) looks like this:editable = [parent.OrderCode != "6" and parent.RcptIssueSerialTrackDb = "FALSE"]; Why is it forbidden to edit the required quantity if the part is serial tracked at receipt? We have not found any good reason for this. 

Hi Community,Good day. I need help. I am on the purchasing side of the company, and there is a 'Currency Rate' error occurring for these two specific items.I would like to know where I should go to fix it. Our Currency is USD for all the transactions.   

Hi,Our customer has an issue with OCI punchout with a supplier. Once the shopping is checked out no parts/lines are transferred from the punchout to IFS shopping cart. I investigated and found out that the JSON message we are receiving(for method Self_Serv_Shop_Cart_Util_API.Receive_Punchout_Response()) is missing parameters UserId, Supplier and most importantly BuyerCookie. The customer confirmed that they are sending these parameters in the POST request as below.  Also I have asked them to change the format as UserId[0], BuyerCookie[0], Supplier[0] just to test it out, but still we get the same issue.It seems the format of the POST request for the 3 parameters is wrong so its not mapping them to the Json message. I could not find any documentation other than what is available here Punchout Catalog - Procurement (ESSPRO) - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud.Is the parsing of the POST request from the customers portal to Json message happening at IFS? if so how can we check this, ju

We want to add a custom field (Wanted Date) to the All tab of the Inventory Part Availability Planning screen. Can’t do it since the LU OrderSupplyDemand is on the Excluded LUs screen. We are looking for a workaround folks might have figured out. This is a great collection of info and our Planners use it constantly.  It would be even better to be able to add the Wanted date for the Part/demand or supply line.  Users can RMB to it but that means doing it one and a time and makes analysis almost impossible for parts with alot of demand/supply.  We are in Apps 9 UPD 11 but I see it’s still excluded as of Apps10 UD 5 Thanks 

Hi,I’m hoping to limit the account values available to select in purchase order pre-posting based on the user creating the PO.Effectively, I would like to use the functionality of Posting Combination Rules, but have the rules apply to the pre-posting in a PO rather than just being checked at the invoicing stage.For example if someone in the IT department raised a PO, the list of accounts available should be limited to show only accounts relevant to IT.The only proposed solution I’ve come across for this is using saved searches, but this of course does not stop a user selecting other accounts, and is difficult to manage in Aurena for a large amount of users.Does anyone have any other potential solutions? We’re using Apps10 and procurement end users are using Aurena.Thanks

In Apps10 IEE, when duplicating a purchase order line that was associated with a purchase requisition, is there an easy way to inherit the purchase requisition number, project connection and associated doc text information to the new line? Our users are reporting that this was the behavior in Apps 8 before we upgraded to Apps 10.

one of our users has reported that he’s noticed the Safety Stock and Min Lot Size fields being updated unexpectedly.  He’s noticed that these fields get changed to 0 and is not sure why this is happening.  He’s asked his staff if anyone is changing the values but no one is.   Is there a process that may be updating these fields that we’re not aware of?This is a snipit of the screen from Production with the values set to 0Here is a snipi from a non prod environment that was a refresh of Production February 4. Any suggestions as to what could be updating these fields or where to look would be greatly appreciated.
