What is the difference between “Purchase Requisition Line Authorization” screen and “Purchase Order Authorization” screen in IFS Cloud?

Is there a Purchase Order Change Order Authorization screen available in IFS Cloud similar to Purchase Requisition Lines and Purchase Order Authorization screens? Need to determine authorizer/final approver and dollar amount of net change for a purchase order change order.

Hello all, hoping to get some insight here on Stage Payments. Is there a reason why Purchase Payment Type cannot be “Staged” when the Inventory Part on the External Service Order line is set to Exclude Service Cost? Has anyone experienced this before and have a workaround to get this? 

I believe there is a bug when using the “duplicate” feature on Supplier for Purchase Part screen. The “duplicate” button copies all information to a new record for you to edit and save. (We often use this feature to copy records from one site to another.) When doing this, all information copies to the un-saved record except Supplier Part No and Suppliers Part Description. Users must remember to manually copy these two pieces of information from the original record to the new record after saving. We have tested this is Apps10 [Aurena] and Cloud.Seems strange all other fields (Price, Min Order Qty, all Indicators, etc.) copy over to the new record but not Supplier Part information. This is very important information in our business and we are at-risk of losing this information when performing a “duplicate”. Why would these two fields not copy over when the duplicate button is used?

Hi, heros,I recently just enabled one code part of “Project” for one company, but on the PO line, the pre-posting window still show greyed “Project”….  how do I enable it ?best,David  

As per the current setup, when there is a part demand added in the system, the MRP calculates back from the requirement date and the purchase lead time for the part, and creates the purchase requisition on this day. While this is regular practice, we need to be able to add an “offset” so that the MRP creates those requisitions earlier, and the parts can be delivered earlier for the relevant execution teams to have time to evaluate readiness and prepare accordingly. Is there a field where such an offset can be added across all parts?We rather not change the individual lead times since this would muddy the data hygiene and not align with actual supplier lead times. Not to mention the subsequent requirement to continue butchering future parts’ lead times.

In present Global supplier master data maintenance in the system has been granted only to Global Procurement team.However, once the Supplier onboarding and assurance executive update / amend supplier master data those will be available in the production prior any review / authorization granted.This has been identified as a risk (ICRAP01 – Supplier Master Data) by Global Internal Audit team and we were requested to mitigate / minimize this risk by authorizing supplier master data prior release into production. Situation:In current process or system, we do not have a proper control to facilitate the above request by mitigating / minimizing the risk associated with supplier master data maintenance (create / amend). 

Getting Error Message when trying to change Supplier on a Planned Purchase Req Line  

Hi everyone,I'm currently setting up a supplier for testing purposes and have hit a snag. When I navigate to the "Purchase Address Info" tab and click on the 'Del Terms' box, the List of Values (LOV) is not selectable.I've double-checked my steps and can't figure out what I've missed. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any ideas on what might be causing this or what I might need to check?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, On the inventory part planning data page, you can enter a safety lead time. If we put this one on 10 days, MRP will create a purchase requitions with the receipt date: need date of the part -10 days. However, this does not work for directly created orders (DOP generated purchases, CO with supply code Purch Order Trans). There, the “ordered by” date can be adjusted with entering lead times, but the need date remains the real need of the part. The purchase requisition will take that need date as the “wanted receipt date”, so if we don’t adjust this manually on the PO, the part will arrive on the need date. And we would like to built in some buffer. The parts are not inspected at arrival. We would want that, for example, if our DOP creates a purchase requisition for a part, the wanted receipt date is a few days before the need date of the part. Like the safety lead time for MRP.

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. Step 2 and 3 are not dependent on each other. So the the requirement is that both are completed in any order before proceeding to step 4Step 1 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 2Step 2 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 4Step 3 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 4Step 4 : Needs to be authorized before proceeding to step 5Step 5 : Final step Example 2 : Suppose there are 4

Hello everyone,  can someone explain to me the difference between approver and confirmer in the approval role in the approval regulation - purchase order? Thank you for your answers. ️️

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.
