Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Dear IFS Community,I’m currently working on setting up and configuring a Demand Plan Server in a newly created IFS Applications 10 environment that has not previously used a Demand Plan Server.So far, I’ve installed both the server and client, but I’m encountering the following issues:1. When executing `POST_Demand_DemandServerUser.sql`, I receive an error message.2. The Demand Plan Server displays the error: "Server needs at least one flow. Fatal Error during load from Oracle." I have followed the online documentation(https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/Foundation1/020_installation/400_installation_options/130_add-on_cmp/demand/), but I’m unable to successfully connect the server to the application. As this is new territory for me, I’m seeking your expertise and guidance to resolve these issues.Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated!Thank you and Best regards.

I am using Aurena NotifyMe 10 and trying to see notes added under PR lines. But they are not transmitting to the NotifyMe App. When i checked the Purchase Req Line Authorization page for the triggered authorization, PR lines notes are not even transmitted to there. My question would be which notes are supposed to be displayed in NotifyMe App (below) ?  

Any ideas what would cause this?Planning Method C with an order point of 1 and lot size of 19. 

We’ve been told Self Service Procurement creates No Part lines only.For Rental, we need Rental Part Lines.Is there any plan for Self Serv Proc to be enhanced in the future to cater for Rental?Has anyone developed any CRIMs to help support this?

Hi there, I want storage supervisors to be forced to scan and upload the waybills when registering an “arrival”. (order receipt)But the records shown in the “Register Arrivals” application is fed by the logical unit “PurchaseOrderLine” as far as I know. So the records shown in this applcation are disappearing after receiving. Can anyone let me know if you have a similar process or solution? Thank you 

How can we ensure that MRP-generated purchase requisitions comply with the existing authorization rules configured in IFS within APP 9? 

Hello Community; I having a client using Automatic Order Processing in Purchasing.  The Process Type is entered on the Purchase Part, however it is not populating onto requisition lines for all suppliers of the part ( manually created reqs for a non-inventory part). Is there a new setting somewhere to “enable for all suppliers” or something?   They are currently on Cloud 21R1.8  Thank you!

Hi Experts,I am setting up a Self service procurement catalog(SSPC) only by using Hosted supplier catalogs(HSC) as the source of supplier parts registered against this SSPC. As per my observations, ‘Categorization Basis’ defined either in HSC or SSPC has no effect on this scenario when it comes to categorizing these supplier parts in ‘Employee self service portal’. Because in this scenario tab ‘Product Lines’ in SSPC is empty (no value in field ‘Category Assortment Node’).Has someone also had this observation? or have I missed something. Could this be a limitation?Thank you,Roshan

Hi Team Can we set up an automatic feature in IFS cloud to change a part's status to Inactive after a certain period of inactivity(assuming no transactions)?ThanksDivya 

Hi, just got a question from our customers vendor regarding IFS Cloud, punchout and iframe. Is IFS Cloud using iframe for punchout? Or can something else in the punchout integration be affected when third party cookies are phasing out? Best RegardsEmma

We are having an issue with Intersite orders in Apps 10. The purchase orders are not automatically being sent to the 2nd site. We have to go into the PO, RMB and click send. I’m sure this means we are missing a setting somewhere.   Any ideas on how to resolve this?   Thanks, Mike

We are currently on IFS Cloud 23R1.4 and would like to know if there are any recommendations for utilizing pallet ids within the system.  Currently we pick to the FT location and load on pallets but don’t have a way in IFS of designating a pallet ID to show what pallet the product was loaded to.

Hi, I have an issue where a user (coordinator) creates orders that suddenly stopped following the Purchase order prefix starting with “P”. As you see below the user has created orders starting with P but the orders started inheriting the Requisition numbers (179 and 189 below.) .  User is in coordinator group “K” Coordinator groups looks like this where “K” should have prefix “P” för purchase orders. Does it have to do with Purchase roder no 99 in some way?  Thanks! BREmma

As the title says, is it possible to add new lines to an existing PR where all lines are approved…. without revoking the authorisation?A real example, is where we had to add a new freight/delivery cost line to the PR at a later date.This is pretty annoying for our team who need to add a new line to a PR, and get the manager to then authorise previously authorised lines. It raises a lot of questions as to why are we doing this again. 

Hi,We using IFS cloud…...Im looking to check is there a way to restrict that only 1 assigned buyer can raise Purchase Orders for a specific maintenance order or work order ?looking forward to help on this topic  

I am responsible for training my Purchasing Dept in IFS Cloud.  I have shown them how to create PRs, RFQ, POs, how the flow works from one into the other.  I know that we can look at MRP Action Proposals and MRP Action Prop. Workbench.  I understand the Top Down and Bottom Up part info.  But what I cannot wrap my head around is what to tell them to do when they first start their day.  Should a buyer just use the Operational Buyer lobby and respond to messages there?  Should a buyer look at MRP messages and act from there?  I have really had no understanding of a clear path of what to do first.

Hello All;I have a client who is utilizing intersite functionality to direct ship material to an external customer on behalf on another site.  Everything is flowing normally, except when the PO lines have a receive case of “Receive into Arrival, Inspect at Arrival”.   At this point, they do not want to use an alternate receive case.The Direct Delivery is being processed by the intersite flow.   The PO lines are updating to “Closed” status but the Receipt Lines are in “To Be inspected”.  In order to complete the Register Inspection Results the PO Lines have to be manually reopened.   I would not expect the PO Line to close without the Register Inspection Results completed.  Is this the expected behavior?The client is on 22R1.8

I was wondering if someone is able to offer an insight into the expected behaviour regarding ‘Reserving’ Items on a Work Order. Scenario:Prepare Work Order - Create Requisition - Convert to a Purchase Order - Receipt Item into Remote WarehouseAt that point I would have expected the Receipted Item to show as reserved against the Work Order it was ordered against.However, it appears that in some instances this is not the case and the item appears in the Remote Location with no reservation.Issue: This then results in items showing as available in the a location incorrectly, and increases our ‘stock’ value. This value should show against ‘Reserved Inventory Stock’. Is there an issue in our process preventing the reservation OR is this expected behaviour? Thanks in advance to any one who takes the time to respond. Lisa :-)

I am trying to receive parts from a PO and I am getting the error message "There are not enough component parts shipped to the supplier to receive this quantity.I could see all the component parts of the particular line has been shipped to the supplier using supplier material functionality. The customer is using Project deliverables to create all the required supply request & the Component parts (2 parts ) for the line item are flowing from the Product item structure.Had also tried this work around given below Check the PO Line you are about to receive.RMB on the Supplier material (if the option is active and available)One of the components which has fractional quantity per assembly probably has Qty Calc rounding of 0 in inventory part.Change the Qty calc rounding and receive the PO LineStill the issue persists , when I am trying to change the qty calc rounding to 1 for example , I am getting an error that Qty calc rounding must be zero for serial tracked parts ....How should I mit
