Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

I know Planning Method A involves Lot for Lot, meaning there is zero “extra” inventory ordered for parts that have planning method A.  Does this also mean it ignores safety stock or is safety stock considered zero.  For example, if I have a safety stock of 5 will it always suggest orders such that I have a balance of 5?Where can the safety stock calculation be seen for the steps taken to auto update? 

Hi Everyone, I am facing an issue when printing the purchase order. As you can see in the below image the particulars are repeating. this is happening with the majority of the purchase change orders however some of them are perfect. and also all the purchase orders are working fine. Had checked the report designer too however, it's the same for PO and POCO so I believe if the PO is working fine then it shouldn't be the issue of the report designer.  Can anyone suggest how can we resolve this? Thank you in advance

Hi,can anyone please advise if there’s a way of splitting a material requisition to only release a part of the order?Example  - the issue is we are making 50 top level parts, but we only need for today enough material for 2 of those parts - However within the material requisition our only option is to release the entire material req. for stores to pickIs there a way to split the qty's we issue or even just do certain parts to be released? Thank you

We think that there is a gap (bug?) in the current implementation of this process and we do not know how we should proceed. In general, in IFS Cloud Current Net Amount calculation is based on PO only, - increased when a Purchase Order is added using the agreement during the perioddecreased when the relevant Purchase Order is cancelled-will restrict creating new PO's once the Maximum Amount is reached.  We have situations when a PO is fully received, but only partly invoiced and we know that the remaining part will not be invoiced and can be returned. But such return (through Shipment) does not have any impact on the Current Net Amount.We think that this may be a gap or a bug. We believe that when we return some part of non-consumed PO then this returned value should be subtracted from Current Net Amount. Otherwise the Current Net Amount in the system is higher then in reality and it's not possible to use this difference on another PO. 

Hi All, I have a customer who does aircraft overhaul. He sometimes dismantles defective parts of an airplane belonging to one of his clients. Which customer asks him to have the part repaired and sent to him once repaired and bill him for the repair. The part will be repaired by a subcontractor of my client.How can I most simply manage this flow. Indeed, IFS does not allow to manage a customer order line in direct purchase order for a purchase order of type 6 (external service)?To date, we are transferring ownership of the part returned to stock to be able to use external services.We create a type 6 purchase order with a unique address (customer’s one), we create the sales order, modifying the price (it is not the part that is to be invoiced, just the repair), link the sales order line to the purchase order line, ship the unserviceable part to the supplier, register the arrival of the part when the supplier delivers the customer, ship the part so t

Hello all,@pekkan asked an interesting question 2 years ago which was never answered, and for which I’d like feedback on as well.“I was wondering whether somebody has good tips on how to provide our buyers with Inventory turnover figure to purchase requisition line to help them sanity check the future PO line and planning data in general. I’ve been looking at API’s and available views but a good candidate for the information source has not popped up… This information would be really helpful for reducing the inventory levels in long term.” I totally agree this would be great information, either in the Purchase Requisition (PR) or directly within the Purchase Order (PO). Since “Inventory Turnover Rate” runs as a job in IFS, could IFS be set up to pull on past Turnover results to display for a part in a PR or PO?

Dear Community, I am looking for standard lobbies from the procurement actions below:Purchase Order Confirmation reminder. Purchase Order Delivery reminder.Anyone knows if these are present, as I cannot find any lobbies so far.

Community, We have below scenario, which cannot be cancelled.Supplier material PO line status is released. Customer order line is created, delivered and invoiced.Now we are trying to cancel the purchase order, system cannot, below is the error. our question is, in this case, how we could reverse back the customer order, so as to cancel the purchase order. I don’t see any options at application level support this.Thank you.

How do I create a field in a table that links from a list/table to another record. As an example, I’m linking from the parts requisitions on a purchase requisition to the Purchase Order. I have all the information I need displayed, but not sure how to create the link. See attached, I want to be able to click on the PO number, and that takes me to the PO. 

Is there any settings for the customer order lines, so they don't release with zero costs? Thanks Liam Roberts

Hi Community We are using IFS APP 10.  For instance, we are receiving 300 m2 of steel plates as per PO. Based on our companies procedure we need to enter the heat number/plate number of each plate in to IFS during the GR. Upon delivery, we knew that 300m2 of steel plate is equal to 10 EA. Therefore, we have to enter the unique heat numbers on each steel plate to IFS. With our current setup in IFS we do not see an option to split the delivered quantity into 10 GR line items and adding the heat numbers on each steel plate to IFS.I wonder, if any solution to add all the 10 heat numbers against each plate in IFS. Thanks in advance.

Community, Would like you to share your experience in Customer Owned product management.

Hi guys, I’m looking for a solution to automtically transfer the purchase groups linked to a supplier via the page “supplier for purchase part” into the page “supplier” / into the tab “purchase groups” (path supplier / supplier / purchase / purchase groups). So far I learned that it is a manual process to chose the the purchase groups the supplier is responsible for from the list. I would be glad if you could help me out with a solution for this.  CheersMatthias  

How can we cancel a PO line which has the status as "Confirmed” ?Is there a way to Un-Confirm ?  

Hi allMy client has  a Kanban warehouse with suppliers’ stocks.In their monthly closing process, the client wants to identify all movements related to the suppliers’ stocks on the specific account and then “eliminate” all the movements by a manually entry.The objective is to remove the suppliers’ stocks from their books before looking for a more sustainable solution.I am looking for the posting configuration of such a prototype.If any ideas, please let me knowThanks in advanceLaurent

Hello Community - We are on IFS10.  We are looking for a process to identify and track purchase reqs or purchase orders that need to be expedited and treated with priority.  Does anyone have a good solution?Thanks

Hi, Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have a shop order, 524007, that the outside operation was processed for one supplier, and we found out it had to go to a different supplier.I undid the PO and reverse shipment to the supplier but could not change to the new supplier.I created another outside process line on the PO and deleted the old one, but it will not let me issue the material to the new one.  I could create the PO, 85433, but now cannot close, so I canceled it.So now I have a shop order I cannot close. Thanks, Scott

Does the Supply Chain Part Groups work for Distribution Orders?We are using Distribution Orders for Site to Site supply from a Manufacturing Site to Sales Sites.  We want to ship everything Sea except for Electronic Parts.I have the Supply Chain Matrix for Site set up, and have added an Exception for Electronic Parts.   I added a Supply Chain Part Group to IFS Called “Electronic Parts”.   I added the Supply Chain Part Group to the Inventory Part.   The system is still creating DOs with SEA for the part.

Hello Experts,I have a requirement of tracking Purchase Analysis for each Handling Unit that were registered during the Register arrivals process. Currently in the Purchase order Control Plan it is only available to select the Lot/Batch number but not the Handling Unit. Would you be able to provide a work around or am I missing something else in the configuration. For a fact I know that in Inventory Control Plan we can select the Handling Unit but that we have to come through a small configuration to the Lot/Batch enumeration view. Thanks in advance.Kind RegardsDulip

Hello All,We are currently implementing IFSCloud (launching soon), though we are a couple versions behind.I am looking for some guidance on how to best control Part Revisions. The Product Structure does not identify a Component Revision, so if any revision of a component part number is available in inventory the structure will allow for its use (regardless of the phase in/out dates).If we created a new revision in inventory parts in order to support placement of a Purchase Order and inventory stocking but we are not ready to start using that revision on a Shop Order, how would we control this? Inventory Part Status would be great, but this is tied to the Inventory Part as a whole and would lock down the active revision as well. (We are not looking to change a Part Number for every minor change).Availability Controls seem to be a reactive step and would require the inventory to be placed on an availability control after it has arrived (relying on th

  When creating an external customer order for a part of 200 PCS with supply code ‘Purch Order Trans’ it was converted correctly to internal purchase order of qty=2 and UOM=PK100 as factor=100 when define PK100 UOM against base UOM =PCS. Inventory UOM=PK100, Purchase UOM=PK100, sales UOM=PCS but when convert from internal customer order after send into internal customer I found that the quantity =2 with UOM=PCS which it is wrong, quantity has to be 200. what is the reason for it. please advice. we are using IFS10 UPD13Best Regards,Bilal Drayi
