Hello,Is there a way to force MTRs to move material from the part's default location if available before moving from another location?It seems that MTRs created by PMRP choose material from any available location to move from standard inventory to project inventory. We are wondering if it's possible to for PMRP to prioritize part's default inventory location when choosing the standard inventory location to move fromAny and all advise would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Bryan

Hi, One of our stores has been closed for a while due to unexpected events and this has a big impact on the demand. I don´t know for how many monts it will be closed. I don´t want this to affect the forecast prognosis. What can I do in Demand Planner to ignore these periods ?Can I just copy the historical forecast to adjusted demand?Or can I use the movable holiday function, or maybe some other function?

Community, any idea how to reload the new PO authorization rule for existing POs. We have just made the authorizer changes to PO authorization template, wondering how to make it effect to existing POs waiting to be approved.Thank you.

 When using purchase charges, there are lot of variances with the charge amount when the Supplier Freight Invoices come in. Currently make adjustments for those differences on the PO’s before Invoicing. This has been causing a ton of manual calculations and time spent updating percentages on the PO Freight Charge lines. What would be the best way to handle this type of scenario? Any suggestion on how to handle the landed costs for partial receipt scenarios?

The create order process will not create a requisition for a part unless the ‘required by’ date on an activity is showing as today’s date.Purchase lead time: 10 days Part has a preferred supplier (supplier for purchase part tab)Supplier also has lead time’s setup  for manufacturing and inspection timesThere are 180 in stockBut if i have a demand of 500 on an activity, reserve the 180 in stock and have the date set to the 14/11/23 (which matches the trigger for the purchasing lead time), it does not create a requisition when I use the Create Order Proposal background job.When I change the ‘required by’ date in the activity tab to today’s date (01/11/23) it will create a requisition using the Create Order Proposal background job  Is there something else that would be overriding these values causing IFS to wait until the ‘required by’ date in the activity tab is the current day to order the materials? Thanks

Hi!We have a case where we have forwarded the PO authorization to a person with higher Max Amount for PO, but the person the authorization was forwarded to is still not able to authorize.The rule has the setting Include all steps and consider limits.The routing template has one step that goes to a project role ‘PL’ as Authorizer.In the documentation on forwarding it says:The person you forward to must already exist as a purchasing authorizer. The authorizer must have an authorization limit that is equal or exceeds the amount on the purchase requisition line or on the purchase order, if the step is defined with the authorization role Authorizer (and not Acknowledger),These requirements are fulfilled in this case.Example:Person A has project role PL with max amount of 250 000.The PO is for 300 000 and is connected to the Project.Person A cannot authorize the PO, so he sends it to Person B that has a max amount of 800 000.Person B still cannot authorize.Can someone clarify why Person B ca

Hello. Has anyone experienced an issue with the Project Activity Connection in the Quick PO Registration in 22R1?   I have been unable to get the No Part Lines to connect to the project activity and I end up having to back into the planned purchase order at the line level a reconnect the no part line to the activity thereby getting the Demand Code to change from Non-Inventory to Project.  It is not updating the Demand Code to ‘Project’ in the No Part Lines tab of the PO which is causing me to make the entry to activity in double steps. This process has been completely successful for another client in Aurena. However, entering Parts Lines from the Quick PO Reg is working perfectly. Any feedback or assistance is most appreciated. Thank you-  Joel Cisco (BA- Houston, TX)

Hi, we had a no-part PO received and then found out the cost was actually lower.  The buyer reopened and corrected the PO lines so that the invoice can be matched (invoice has not been entered yet). Finance is asking me-how does the general ledger expense account get corrected to the new amounts?Am I correct that there is no other way to correct the costs on the GL from the purchase transaction  ARR-NONINV other than cancelling the receipt and re-doing it?
