Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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 

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. 

Hi all, I'd like to download the list of active SKUs and its price, at supplier level. Thank you very much,Gabriel

I am looking to develop an process for requesting suppliers.  I am testing the Business Activity process and there is an option for Supplier Request in the Connection Type field.  The Connection field is required but there are no options to select.  Where is this setup or where is the basic data to populate this required field?  Or, am I using this wrong? 

Dear Community, I’m interested in gathering your feedback in integrating 3rd party Sanction Checks tools into IFS Cloud. What 3rd party Sanction Check tools have you worked with that preferably allow for API connection?Basically, the requirement is that every time a supplier/customer contact is created, the data should be sent to a Sanction Check tool and the result should set the customer/supplier as expired and a note field updated that the customer/supplier contact was found on the blacklist of the sanction check tool. 

Hi,We receive the error message “Cannot connect as quantity attached to the source line S200 , 8, 1 is not packed to Shipment Inventory” What would be the reason? 

Dear All,Requesting your inputs on this.Can we add more than one internal customer or suppliers in the inter site process.Since this is a multi-company scenario.If we cannot add through standard process, how can we add. Customization check points etc Can we automate the supplier invoice process as well once the inter-site process completed. (Manual supplier invoice auto generation)RegardsNaadira

Dear all,  I’d like to know if it is possible to transfer a document attached :in PurchaseOrder entity to customer order entity  to purchase order line entity to customerOrderLine entityI know I can use “Object Connection Transformations” but I don’t know the transformation method to use for both cases. (I guess I might use two transformation methods for both case, one for purchase order to Incoming Customer Order and one from Incoming Customer Order to Customer Order // one for purchase order line to Incoming Customer Order line and one from Incoming Customer Order line to Customer Order line)  Best regards,  Laura

Hi,Does anyone know where we can set the Delivery Method that is shown in Purchase Order Lines?This is entered automatically for PO Lines created from Work Orders (Task - Maint. Material Req) or Customer Orders. Seems like there are 3 options defined by the system. Thanks,Dulshan.

Hi,I observed that MS forecast consumption for a CO is based on the Planned due date...However when I have enabled ATP for a MS planned part and when the Planned delivery date is changed in the CO , it doesn’t update the Planned Due Date.In some instances, this difference between the Planned Delivery Date and Planned Due dates can be a couple of weeks , even months.In such instances, it’s going to cause trouble if the forecast is consumed based on the Planned Due date for the CO instead of the Planned Delivery Date.I am trying to understand the relationship between ATP and forecast consumption, how are the functionalities aligned?What am I missing ?Appreciate if someone can shed some light in this area(I am working on 23R2) Kind RegardsYashodha

Hi,I want to make the route unusable, but "update to obsolete is not allowed for the default alternate unless it has been phased out." returns error message.  

Just curious why the terminology when registering a PO arrival in Cloud is “Proceed” or “Discard” as opposed to “OK” and "Cancel”?  

I need to change the query of a custom page in IFS and I am unable to find the query of the page. Please guide me.

Hello, I’m trying to understand how queue time works in IFS.  I have a queue time loaded for WC 1 - 48 hours.  Looking at part 123 that goes through this work center, the start date for Operation 1 is 04.08.24 and if I change the queue time to 0 within this shop order, the start date doesn’t change. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on in order for queue time to affect the start date or does queue time not affect the operation start date?  Thanks in advance!

 Dear experts,When the customer order created through the inter-site flow default document address was not showing on the customer order screen. Appreciate it if anyone can help on this matter.   Thanks in advance 

Hi all,Please I would like to know  if the Create Order Proposal  Batch job considers  the  Inventory on hand, Open Purchase Order and the  Forecast when generating Purchase requisitions. Please help.Thanks  Julius 

Hi,Does anyone know if you can update the landed cost when processing a Manual Supplier invoice - or do you need to amend the PO? We have a report that pulls this figure in - and looking to streamline our work-flow.Tried a few things - but nothing so, far. Apps 10 UPD20.

Hi, The person in question used to have the ability to add no part lines against a purchase order. Now (without any change) the capability is missing.The PO in question is in a planned status. Other users can add no part lines against this supplier.   One is a little stuck as to why this could be the case? appreciate any thoughts.

We’re on APPS10 UPD16. Does anyone know what permissions are needed for my user to review the whole list of NCRs, not only the ones I’m generating?Many thanks,Paul
