Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Can we use Conversion Factor for a Non-Inventory Purchase Part? We have a contract supplier for which we create a shop order for the finished good inventory Part and create a purchase requisition/purchase order (non-inventory part for labor to pay the supplier) against it. When receiving the PO, we will receive the labor first and then receive the shop order for the finished good. Our non-inventory part is set to ‘kgs’ and finished good inventory part is set to ‘eaches’. IFS does not allow us to set the conversion factor on the non-inventory purchase part. When we receive the shop order for 10, it is received into the inventory as 10, but we’d like it to be converted according to the conversion factor How can we handle the situation to receive the PO/shop order with a conversion factor?

I am trying to create a Custom Field to pull the destination warehouse from Purchase Order Lines into Incoming Dispatch Advice but I keep getting this:So far I have create this and not sure what is incorrect and wondered if someone could help?  

IFS Cloud User.How can you tell if a Purchase Requisition is generated from a Work Order associated with a functional object?

Is it possible to consolidate pricing for similar parts on a purchase order? For example, if I’m ordering 500 each of a red, blue and white widget for a total of 1500 widgets, the supplier will extend the 1500 piece price. How do I get the 1500 piece price to show up on the PO when I’m order 500 of 3 different part numbers.  

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!

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

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 wa

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.   

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
