Hello Community, In Project Navigator, Planned Revenue field sums up all Customer Orders connected to the respective activity. Same applies even for connected customer orders that are is cancelled or invoiced and credited. Is there any way to reduce the amount of planned revenue, apart from the extreme way of running the Customer Order cleanup, which will clean all the customer orders for a site before a given date? Thanks in advance,Lauri 

Hello All,  Working on projects within IFS, an order has been rasied, receipted and fully invoiced. However it was a larger order and three invoices matched.  We generated unfinished activities and can see there is a penny rounding error and the PO will need amending.  The only way I can see to correct this is to un-receipt the very small difference, to allow a purchase order change order to be created so that the PO quantitiy matches the invoiced quanitty shown below. This is a huge amount of effort just to remove a penny to close a project, does anyone know a better process?   

Hi IFS Community!I’ve been tasked with hunting down why a Scheduled Database Task for process Mrp_Process_API.Schedule_Mrp_Process__ keeps ending with a status of ‘Error’. The Error Text field has a notice “This background job was set to state Error because the executing Oracle process was killed. ( Detected by cleanup process at 2025-01-08-23.49.11 )”. I’ve checked out a few other Community posts noting that the Light Cleanup process may be responsible, but the Light Cleanup job was posted / started executing 2 seconds after the time reported in the MRP background job. The last bit of output in the background job is:“Site X MS Calculation for MS parts that have received exploded demand started at 20250108 21:36:24”I’ve checked out the Oracle Alert log and other background jobs executing around the same time that the process was killed, but the only thing that I see being suspicious is this entry in the Oracle Alert log:2025-01-08T23:54:59.981027-06:00NET  (PID:13564): Possible network

Hi everyone,We are working with IFS Cloud Page Designer and have a requirement related to UI customization.Currently, we have a dropdown field “Coordinator” located under the Group: Order Details. We would like to move this field to the main page header section for better visibility and usability. RequirementMove the Coordinator field from Order Details group → Page Header Ensure that the existing functionality remains unchanged, including: Adding a coordinator Modifying a coordinator QuestionsIs it possible to move an existing field from one group to another using Page Designer? Or do we need to create a new field in the header and bind it to the same data source? Also do we need to do the translation also if we add as a new field?It would be better if we can move the same field but your opinion really matter here. Please check and let us know.

Hi All,Seeking your help here.I am trying to understand the order point calculation for one of my part. I have set up this part as planning method B and entered the lot size as 10.Purchase lead-time for this part is 10 days. No safety stock is maintained.When I run the “Calculate Planning Data” job for 10 periods but this part is only active for 4 periods and system calculate the order point as 22.258 with some decimals but I am struggling to understand how this is calculated. I checked the IFS help and it says below equation is used.Order point (pieces) = [Average demand (pieces/period)] * [Lead time (period) + Safety stock (pieces)]I checked the average demand from the inventory availability planning and it shows as 125. Not sure this is the correct place that I need to check. In the help it was also mentioned that data for this calculation is stored in On Hand Develop per Period window but still didn't give me proper data to calculate.Does anyone can give me a pointer for this. Any

Hi All,  On a non productive environment designed for testing specs : When I have entered all information necessary on a customer order header and want to save the edition, the following pop-up appears : “Document Adress xx is not valid _ check up validity period”.What strikes me is that all the elements below _ involving the document adress and everything else _ are the same between this non productive environment and the PROD environment that works correctly : Expiration date of the adress (none)Client Site Company I am completely lost as where to check to solve this issue: Do you guys have any idea where to dig ?  Best regards,

To use the self-service procurement portal, I want to navigate from the Project Definition to the materials&Services to open the procurement portal from there. Which LTU allows me to perform these actions?If I only assign the EMP_SELF_SERV_PROC_LTU to a user, I cannot first go to my project to open the materials and services menu. I want to open the procurement portal from that activity. What is the solution for this? 

Has anyone come across this situation? Non-stock Purchase req raised with four lines.  Change the sort order of the lines (either by accident or design...)   Convert Req to PO and PO line numbers reversed… We’re on 24R1 SU16.ThanksLinda

Hi everyone, Our IFS CLoud environment is getting worringly slow in some parts as we are working on Procurement (24R2). When we (the IT) try to spot it, we do see everything slowing down. Everything eventually works as it should, only slower than expected. We find no errors in our consoles. However our users (the people who use IFS daily) have alerted us that some processes end in failure because of the time out.We worry because the slowing down happens consistently on our test environment, but these are new processes that will be used in production from next week on. We cannot afford to have the new tools go into time out as soon as they go online.Sadly, we have no idea where to start with this issue. If anyone else has had issues of general slowing down, we would love to hear how you went about tackling the issue.

Hi,When using expressorders (order code 5) - Is there in IFS Cloud (25R1) a way to ensure that all lines on a purchase requisition are converted to PO lines before the order is printed / sent out, even if the PR lines are authorized at different points of time?We have got this to work in IFS 10, but in IFS Cloud the first line is printed / sent out as soon as it has been converted.Thanks in advance!JohanNB! We have some customized functionality in this area that may interfere.

Issue:We have recently identified an issue where the Demand Forecast window remains on the loading screen and cannot be accessed. Previously, a version mismatch between the IFS Application and the Demand Plan server was identified as the cause of this issue. However, the window is now hanging even though the versions are compatible, and all prerequisites have been completed.Environment:The issue can occur if any delivery is performed in a 24R2 environment, as it will automatically apply the latest available framework update. Also, the issue only can be observed in IFS Cloud 24R2 environments which are in framework SU15.Cause:This has been identified as a bug in the core application due to an incorrect artifact was shipped with the 24R2 SU15 release.Resolution:Issue is fixed with IFS Cloud 24R2 SU16.As the fix is related to the framework, you will not be required to apply the full application SU. A framework SU upgrade alone will be sufficient to deliver the fix to your environments. Yo

Hi everybody,in IFS10 we have scheduled task to calculate purchase costs (latest purchase cost).   How to set it up in IFS Cloud?I tried to set it up, but I don’t know the syntax for ATTRIB_ parameter in IFSCloud. When I copy the argument from background job (when you run it manually), it doesn’t work. I am aware of other ticket saying it is not possible even in APPS10, but it definitely works, so I just want to double check. Thansk a lot.Jan

Hello, We have two sites, Site A and Site B set up in a planning network. Both sites A and B can purchase Part 1 from an external supplier. The Site A internal supplier is setup as a multi-site planned supplier for Part 1 on the internal Supplier for Purchase Part on Site B. If Site B has demand for Part 1 and has no on-hand quantity, the planning network MRP is creating a purchase requisition from the external supplier even though we have sufficient on-hand quantity at Site A to fulfil the demand at Site B.Is this standard behavior? Is there a way to change this to have the planning network MRP recognize the available stock in Site A and create an internal distribution order instead of an external purchase requisition? The external supplier is the primary supplier on both sites and should stay that way, but if stock is available at the other site, we’d like to use that rather than buying more. Thanks for your help,Dylan​

I am intending to order a non inventory purchase part on the material requisition by using supply code as purchase. However I am not getting the option of purchase in the drop down.   

Hello 😎, User created 3 PO for same part no. The issue we found is that 1 of POs has different price.The expected price is 0.9821, which is the supplier price for this purchase part, but one PO shows the price as 0.9800.I have already checked the History Log and could not find any record of manual price changes.At this point, I am unable to identify the root cause. Does anyone have suggestions on how to investigate this issue further or what could cause this price difference?

Hello Guys Customer currently faces a problem that after MRP run, new supplier schedule with additional Lines will be created and connected to the PO but no further Line No / Release No will be created on the Purchase Order. Did someone face the same problem or know what could be the solution?Could it be because of the Cumulative Quantity?  

Date only changes within a purchase order is triggering re-authorisation. We have made changes to the PO authorisation rules and tested but no matter which boxes are ticked and options selected in the PO authorisation rules we need to re-authorise.Does anyone know how to fix this?
