Hi Community, When I am trying to update the PO from my POCO, I get this error below. Can someone help me with this? I have a supplier agreement and when I checked, I see the payment term is the same as in the supplier agreement and the POCO and the PO. Can’t figure out what is causing this error.  

Hi,Is it possible, using a BPA, to delay closing a PO on the system by e.g. 24hours?We have a business problem where we don’t want the PO to close immediately when the user presses the button, but waits 24hrs, then it closes.Thoughts?Any help appreciated. 

Hi All,My customer has two sites and they both have examples where they buy from the same Supplier. In their scenario, they have different Supplier Contacts for the two Sites.This is a problem because they need to be sure to “Email” the Purchase Order to the correct contact. Which the Supplier Contact is driven from the field “Supplier Contact on the Supplier record. Question: How would someone set up different Supplier Contacts per Site and have the Purchase Order know which Email Address to send it to? Thank you,Alex

I want to cancel this order line and get this message, - I cannot remove the check mark symbol in “Pending Change Order” 

Hi,Our customer is running Cloud version 22r2.It randomly encounters the following problem:- The user validates a purchase requisition as a purchase order with the "Create new order" option => OK- The user continues and validates another purchase requisition as a purchase order for the same supplier - he selects "New purchase order" on the screen when creating the purchase order => Problem: The 2nd purchase requisition is added (grouped) to the purchase order just created, even though he wanted a new purchase order.This would happen (not systematically) when you convert several requisitions for the same supplier into a purchase order.Have you ever encountered this situation?Thanks in advance for your helpBest regards,Isabelle

We have a scenario where a  purchasing control plan was not created when a PO was created and received. Since then, a control plan has been created. I’m trying to use the Connect Control Plan function on a purchase order receipt. When I click on the List button in the dialog box to select a new control plan no, there are none listed even though there is currently an active control plan for the part as well as other active control plans for different parts. According to the IFS online documentation, “ This list displays all Control Plans for Purchasing in the Active status for all part numbers, not just the part number in your purchase order.” Do know why there are no control plans listed?

Hi Team,If a customer is converting two Purchase Req Lines to a Purchase Order from the “Purchase Requisitions Lines” window, the expectation is that if the Supplier is the same for both PO Reqs that IFS would create a single Purchase Order with both lines.They are not always experiencing the Purchase Req Lines consolidating in this behavior. Sometimes when there are two Purchase Requisition Lines for the same Supplier it is creating two Purchase Orders instead of a single PO.Any thoughts why this might be?Thank you,Alex

Hey Community, For a Non-Inventory Purchase Part, User by mistake created a inventory part. Now they want to disconnect the inventory part and delete it. This is a old part so they cannot create a new one and make the wrongly created one as inactive. Any idea here? Reagrds,Jewel

I want there to be no transactions belonging to a child product in the parent product in the transactions coming from the route in the work order. What is the process in the standard?

As i know, agreements are only for inventory parts, is there any possibility to have the same for non-inventory parts?A customer is also working hard from the Group Procurement with Capex, Spare parts for molds & machines.

A customer has have group suppliers (same company, different VAT nrs, different ID's, but the total consumption is into the same contract. What is the best way to connect all Supplier ID's into the same agreement / contract. With the current setup of the supplier agreement, only one (1) supplier can be linked per agreement.

Hello everyone,We have a number of suppliers whose delivery conditions are Ex-Works.I would like to control the recording of goods arrivals in inventory, but also maintain an available date that reflects the transit time to the destination site.I'd like to record the arrival of the supplier's shipment and use an internal transit time to control the stock availability date.Can anyone tell me how the different arrival dates are controlled?Thank you in advance for your help.Yannick

We have a non-inventory purchase part setup that requires ordering in increments of 2.  I see a min order qty field in the Supplier for Purchase Part, but not a case size type setting.Is there a way to do this?Vendor UOM is set to EAIFS Purchase UOM and Price UOM set to EABut, orders must be placed in increments of 2. 

Hello All, I configurated the Self-Service Procurement Catalog (in the ‘Upadate Settings’ tab) to have in the portal the different Supplier Agreements : but when I have two supplier agreements for the same part and the same supplier but two different projects and two different prices, I could obtain in the portal just the part with the price of the supplier agreement having the highest priority!! What I need is visualising all the supplier agreements. Do you have an idea how to deal with this please? thanks

Dears,I have a quick question about supplier set up:in purchase tab -General:what these choices mean? and what the affect if we make it approved or not?Thanks.

Hi, We’re in the process of moving some of our users to Aurena and I’ve auditing screens in Aurena to make sure they work for our users. Our buyers use eBuyer in EE, and when I look at the Supplier for Purchase Part screen in Aurena it doesn’t look like the eBuyer tab is available:  And it doesn’t look like I can add that tab when I look in Page Designer: Just to add to this, it doesn’t look like any of our eBuyer screens are available in Aurena: 

Hello Community , I am creating a no-part PO with Charges. Charges are connected to no part line. After performing GRN it only shows no part lines. Charges lines are ignored  in ARRIVAL entry. In purchase transaction history screen it shows M91, M92. I dont see any entry for M65.Is there any way to bring the M65 entry in ARRIVAL for no part PO. Regards,Jewel ParvezSenior Business Analyst Hoist Global Tech Solutions 

Hello, my company wants to do what they call a two-way match for blanket PO lines for services.   Right now the buyer or AP has to contact shipping to receive in a monthly PO line for a number of services.  I saw this post-Service PO - 2way match | IFS Community but I don’t understand how you can avoid receipts-how does the PO line/PO close?  I’ve been testing out the option to have AP do the receipt themselves from the manual supplier invoice.  Has anyone else tried this out?Change supplier to PO Ref Only on the supplier matching tab (currently set to PO reference and receipt reference). Go to manual supplier invoice and create new.  Enter in PO, invoice number In the line section, right-click and select Copy Unreceived PO lines.  Delete any rows that are not needed. PO quantity will be displayed on the line-change if necessary.  The invoice will be in Preliminary status. Enter the Gross Amount or Net Amount for the Invoice if this differs from the default and save. Select one or more

Are there any examples on how to use (ITS) INET_TRANS to send Purchase Orders? I have read the documentations but I need help connecting the dots. Can someone provide me some guidance? What is needed if we want the output the Order to a file as xml?Thanks? 

I am assuming this is not an option but thought I would put it on here for clarification or possible other ideas.Is there a way to add pre posting data on the Supplier Agreement line instead of having to put it on the PO each time we do a release?I wanted to test setting up our monthly utilities on a blanket purchase order and do releases.  But, there needs to be pre posting added to get the posting controls correct.Currently on IFS Cloud 23.R1 SU 5.

Hello, I have a question related to a large stock up and I am hoping there is a way IFS can handle. I setup a large qty PO for a bank build. However, I am hoping to somehow flag that PO to be ignored by MRP, as it is unique. The issue is that this large purchase skews the forecasting/demand. I’ve gone through the help and do not see anything that seems to indicate if this scenario can be handled. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello all, Lately I see the following issue appearing in IFS cloud: Shop orders with header status started and the material status is completely issued and operation status is completely reported are not visible in the MS but they are visible in the screen inventory part availability planning. This can be tricky as then you might release a new shop order to cover. In the attached PDF you find more information and screenshots . I hope you can advise me… Best RegardsCarlo

Hello, Currently, we are using a remote warehouse for offsite storage of some of our sub assemblies. The issue we are facing is that from IPAP we do not have visibility into what is in our main warehouse vs. what is at our offsite storage. This becomes problematic because we may attempt to run a Shop Order, but not have the actual supply needed. I have attempted to use Availability Controls, but while setting the location to nonnet, the parts now show correctly in IPAP (what is on hand vs. available to use) but MRP attempts to drive demand to make more of the sub components. When in actuality, we just need to move them from our remote warehouse to our main facility. I am curious if there is a solution in IFS that will allow us to see the “unavailable” qty from IPAP, but not drive MRP demand unless our actual on hand is triggered based on planning parameters? Thank you!

Hi all,  My client has implemented purchase order authorization with 3 steps. I would like to know if step 3 is refused, how is it possible to revoke all authorization for the buyer to change his purchase order? For now, I can see that if step 1 was authorized by one user and step 2 by another user, the user of step 3 cannot revoke previous steps. Laura
