Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

When trying to receive the below PO we received the below message.  I was able to determine how to receive, by adding the location to the receipt.  Where is the inventory location field located for the purchase part number that I could add it as a default and not have to add every time we are receiving this item?    

Hi Everyone, I am having a situation, can anyone tell me what can be the cause.. PR already converted to PO but still showing in authorized PRs. The PR is not closed even after the PO is created.  thanks in advance.  

Hello,I have set up everything required to send Supplier Schedules from an Internal Site and have that received as a Customer Schedule from another Internal Site. That is all working correctly.What I am having troubles with is my expectation of the “Default Supply Type” in the Inventory Part Planning Data window. I have set this to “Schedule”, which I was thinking if I created a Customer Order for my Sales Part on the Demand Site, it would then automatically add the lines to my created Purchase Order connected to my Supplier Schedule I set up.Instead, when I release the Customer Order, it simply creates a brand new Purchase Order and does not use the Purchase Order I connected to the Supplier Schedule for this part.Any thoughts?  In summary, is there any connection from a Customer Order driving demand connected to Supplier Schedule?Thank you,Alex

After creating a purchase blanket agreement we try to enter a document text to make the supplier aware of the blanket agreement price in order to avoid misunderstandings. We expect this document text to appear on the PO printout, but it doesn’t.We have tried to make document texts both on Supplier Agreement header and on Supplier Agreement item row but none of them will appear on the PO printout. The Output Types Documents selected are 6 - Purchase Order and 14 - Purchased Parts.To verify the document text functionality we have tested adding document texts manually on the PO and it works fine. But we would prefer to have the texts automatically transferred from the agreement to the PO when the order is created.Any ideas? 

Hello All, A customer is asking the following:“I have a Purchase Order that was partially received, where on the Purchase Order can I see the “Remaining Quantity” that is to be received from the vendor?” The only solution I have found is the “Purchase Receipts History” window and the “Receipts” window shows how many were originally ordered and how many were already received. With some basic math I can figure out many are remaining to be received. This seems like basic functionality to view the “Remaining Quantity” on a Purchase Order. Am I missing something?Note: Cloud EnvironmentThank you,Alex

Hi All!We runned into a Purchase Requisition with an duedate which we could not understand.Hope someone in the community can help explain this.It seems somehow that MRP is not creating an requisition with dueadate earlier than an already existing Purchase Order.This is the scenario step by step:We had an customer order(-5902), which was placed well ahead. And we ordered the parts for that order, also well ahead. (duedate 15-5-2024, And Purchase Order-57 was created, also duedate 15-05) well ahead order placed, and PO released (MRP executed) So far as expectedLater, another customer ordered the same part. (Customer order -5903)This wanted date was before that ‘well ahead’order.’(Duedate 13-02-2024)The leadtime for the inventory part is 1 day. second Customer Order placed, MRP not yet executedso far as expectednow we expected that running MRP will create an Purchase requisition with duedate 13-02-2024.MRP for part settingsBut.. an Purchase requisition with the same duedate as the other p

Hello All, Is there a way to set up an RMA with a disposition step (inspection requirement) to mimic the purchase orders?

Example case:We have a part with a minimum lot size of 50 pcs.We create a non project related demand for the part of 2 pcs and run the MRP.A supply of 50 pcs will be planned. OK so far.Now we create a project related demand for the same part of 2 pcs and run the PMRP.Another supply of 50 pcs will be planned, even though in planning 48 pcs would be left from mrp planned supply.MRP/PMRP do consider quantity on stock, but not planned quantities of the other.Effect:We buy/manufacture 100 pcs instead of 50 pcs for a demand of 4 pcsUnnecessary procurment/manufacturing, incoming inspection, warehouse, scrapping costs.We already had that topic checked by IFS R&D. Works as designed.Any other customers having the same issues?

Hello community,Is there any possible way to enter parameters for multiple data points in a purchase control plan analysis? For example, I have two data points: length and height. When I receive 200 pieces of a part from a purchase order, I need to enter controlled parameters for these data points in the control plan analysis one after another for the 1st data point and then for the 2nd data point. Do you have any ideas on how to be able to enter both parameters for one part and then move on to enter parameters for the 2nd part, and so on?Many thanks for your ideas and time.

Hi,I would like to ask an explanation how is system forecast calculated if Moving Average forecast model is used. According to documentation I understand that it is calculated as average of adjusted demand for selected period. It works fine if adjusted demand is not outside standard deviation (red or yellow background). But when it is, I really don´t know how it is calculated and what is included in calculation.For example - Moving Average for 3 period.Adjusted Demand Average is 3968,12System forecast is 1672,33. Could somebody explain?ThanksRomana

Hi, using Apps 10. Some months ago, we received a part. We received it at QA, did inspection (pass), moved into stock at location XX. We wanted to use the part, but then noticed that it was not OK. So we want to send it back to the supplier. The easiest way (as far as we know) is to return it using the PO. So we moved the part to location XX, put the ‘to inspect’ qty at 1 and re-initiated the inspection. But when trying to return the part, it showed the error “Location XX does not exist” When we check the part serial history, we can see that the part is there and that this was the first picking location of the part after it arrived. Any idea where this come from?

Hello everyone,I encountered an error while trying to return a part based on inspection results. The error message states that the location does not exist, even though the location does exist. The part is currently located in the same place where it was received. Can someone assist me with this issue? Thank you in advance for your help. 

Hello Everyone, We have an error on a PO receipt that needs to be cancelled. The error states that the received quantity is no longer available in the receipt location. The data shows otherwise. Does anyone have experience with a similar problem.  

We have a couple of work orders with the following issue. For WO  we ordered materials, i.e part nr. 100024743, but that one line was never used.The PO and the PR are closed, logistics Issued with Internal Transfer, but now the MR can not be closed, and thus the WO and the Activity cannot be closed respectively. Usually the Material Order can’t be closed until material on the PO is issued, but we never used the materials.What would be the best way to close the Material Requisition here?   

Hello, I would like to see the received quantity of purchase order lines from the Purchase Order screen, PurchaseOrderLinePart and PurchaseOrderLineNopart.

We have quite a few Purchase Orders that will have multiple receipts.We assign purchase order charges in the form of freight and fuel surcharges.Our issue is the PO may come in over several receipts.  The fuel surcharges may change by the time the final receipts are registered.However, if you update the charge price, it updates any receipts that have not been matched and closed.Is there a way to schedule purchase order charge changes so they do not update previous receipts.I.EReceipt 10/30 - Surcharge was 10%Receipt 11/10 - Surcharge was 11%.If receipt from 10/30 is still open and we update the surcharge to 11%, it updates the 10/30 receipt to 11% also.
