Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

During Purchase Order Authorization there is an option to enter a ‘Reject Note’.  Logically, you’d expect this field to be an option to add additional context to a reject reason, where the user can give some extra information. At least this is what I’m looking to use it for. However, it seems like after the rejection is processed, this ‘Reject Note’ is not seen within the system. The Reject Reason and Reject Date are both seen in Purchase Orders view, but the Reject Note does not appear to be there. Does anyone know where this goes? Or it is perhaps a bug?

Hi,Perhaps someone can help me with the following scenario (on a productive environment):Initial situation:-The "Create Forecast" job has already been executed for the current period The user creates a new forecast part AND defines a predecessor and sets the "Inheritance" parameter to "YES"→ The forecast is now to be calculated for the new partProblem:In Application 9, the user executed the "Create Forecast" job again to obtain a forecast for the new part Since Application 10, the "Create Forecast " job can only be run once per period (IFS error message: "The period has already been aggregated. Create Forecast can only be run once per period")Question:→ How can a forecast be calculated for the new forecast part based on the previous one?→ The calculation should be be executed immediately, i.e. without having to wait for the start of the next period.

Hello Experts,Background:Purchase Component Method ‘Customer Order’ is not available for Project Deliverables in IFS Cloud. This has lead us to switch to ‘Supplier Material’ as the purchase component method.  Current Situation:We need to deal with many supplier component parts. If we take once scenario,Supplier material is connected to a project deliverables demand part. (project supply option is 'Purchase') We don't have neither the parent or the supplier material part in stock We receive the supplier material part We ship it to the supplier Supplier receives the part and we receive the parent part from supplierChallenges:Given the amount of supplier materials we have to deal with, the challenges we are having,How can we monitor whether the supplier material has arrived ? What standard functionalities of IFS we can use to ship the supplier material (we have been testing with shipment orders but can we set up the shipment orders/shipments to be created automatically by standard? ie: cr

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.

Hi All,I am running a flow on a situation where company A is purching a rental asset from the company B. In that case in the Company A there is a PO in the part lines tab to purchase the asset with the ownership “Company Rental Asset”.Upon releasing and sending the PO. Inter company CO is getting created in the supply site which is Company B in my example.But this Customer order line state the ownership “Company Owned” not “Company Rental Assets”. If the demand is coming from “Company Rental Asset” then the supply should also be in “Company Rental Asset” is it? Seems other line data is coming from the interco PO line but not the ownership. Is there a setting known to anyone to control this behaviour. I have set up the sales part as “Sales and Rental” in the Company B. 

Hello, I had a quick question. We are trying to reserve supplier material for a part but we keep running into this error message? Any thoughts? Does this have to do with the inventory availability planning? Thanks.

We have POCO enforced. We have Released PO lines, that need their Receipt Date to be changed. When we change Planned Receipt Date from the PO line, we get the error asking to change using POCO. However, if we change the Promised Delivery Date or Planned Delivery Date on the PO line, it updates all the relevant date fields including the Planned Receipt Date, without the POCO error. What is happening here?We would expect to change the Planned Receipt Date without a POCO. 25.1.2

When you add a new line to the No Part line, the quantity is defaulted to 1. Weird design choice. Why is this such in core?Yes, I can change this in page designer, but why is this default?25.2.625.1.2

Hello IFS’s Experts,I am facing a behavior in IFS Cloud 24R2 that I would like to better understand and fix.ContextModule: Procurement / Register Arrival Scenario: Non-inventory purchase order receipt Company / Site: XXX User Group: RECEP Accounting period involved: 5 (may 2026)  User Group (RECEP) period status = Closed Voucher Type : 0 (The only one group related to is RECEP) In a context of periodical closing, we have decided to close the periods for the user group in charge to perform all the Register Arrival transactions.If we select a date within the closed period with is not today’s date → Transaction is blocked (expected behavior).If we do NOT change the default date (system date) the transaction is successfully completed (unexpected behavior).Both dates (26/05 or 27/05 in this case) are within the same accounting period (May 2026), which is closed for the user group RECEP. Has anyone experienced this behavior in IFS Cloud and how can we fix this unexpected behavior ? Is it pos

HalloCan somebody help me.We have purchase orders from one site to another (two different companies) and everything is set up for intercompany but if I release a purchase order without having a customer order it does not transfer the order via intercompany. The demand code is “inventory order” and I can not change that. If I start with a customer order everything works perfect. But if I order parts into stock it doesn’t open up an order on the supplier site :-(. Does anybody has an idea what is missing? Thanks for your help.Judith

When creating ‘kitting labels” for shop order that is reserved the only labels that print out are supply type ‘Inventory Order’.  Why will the supply type ‘Project Invenotry’ not print for stockroom to PICK all of the reserved material?  We don’t have this problem in APP9 but soon going to CLOUD 24.2 in few months.   

I am working for a customer that creates a request for quotation for most purchases.  IFS Cloud does not support capturing charges the same as on a purchase order on the order quotation or the purchase requisition. Has anyone experienced this and how did you overcome? ThanksRichard 

Version: Apps10 UPD19 Hello procurement experts!We have a situation where we want to be able to create a blanket PO or similar with one-time approval, with one supplier for just a few select parts, and then request a drawdown against that as when site inventory is consumed or running low.  We are struggling with how to  implement this, even though it seems like it should be straightforward.Initially we looked at creating a PO for e.g. 6 months of supply quantity, with many lines in the PO for the quantity of a min delivery (e.g. qty 16 for 1 pallet to be delivered).  The PO would be approved once, and then each time the total qty at the site fell below a defined threshold the buyers would release one or more lines from that ‘blanket’ PO as needed.  Unfortunately when the PO is approved it seems it always approves all of the PO lines, which makes this a non-viable approach.How else can handle this kind of approach where we need to:‘approve once’ for a large quantity draw down against th

I cannot see additional fields on a clients environment on the Authorization Routing Template. There should be: This is what I see. Is this an IFS issue or is this permissions?

Hello,One of our users has changed the ownership of a company owned part to company rental asse. is there a way that we can move back to company owned? we can’t scrap or count out and receive again as we need to have the exact serial no for the part (system does not allow to have the same serial no for same part duplicates)

When approving a Purchase Requistion - can I view if different payment terms have been entered?  I.e checking that someone has updated from 45 days to immediate for specific POs/purchases?

Hi I am facing an issue where as a business policy, procurement team always requires a purchase requisition and authorization is carried out on the purchase requisition level.Issue comes when I am running the Inter company flow.I am using the “Int Purch Direct” and “Int Purch Trans” flows, upon releasing the customer order, pegged purchase order will be created instead of purchase requisition.  Is there a way that I can create a purchase requisition instead of purchase order?I have set up the default supply option as requisition in the Inventory part planning data as well.  But for Purch Order Direct and Purch Order Trans flows, Purcase requisitions are getting created. Did anyone faced a similar situation? Thanks,Chamath

Does anyone know of a way to temporarily prevent receipting of POs. We require a period of non-transactions while other processes are being undertaken. We would like to prevent receipting POs during that period.We are using Apps 9, but I guess it will be the same logic as for Apps 10

Those of you who are actively managing subcon work in IFS; have you figured out a way to control the release of PR’s upon release of a shop order? Our subcon PR’s release the moment a Shop order is created, however the subcon portion on a routing may not come up for a week or two. Is there a way to control the release/unrelease of the subcon on the operation no?  I’m guessing it might have something to do with Outside OP Supply Type, but I am not sure you can stop it by changing it. Thanks.

Is there a conference coming for IFS users to participate?
