Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hello, Is anyone creating blanket purchase orders for long term equipment rentals or leases? Trying to avoid creating multiple PO’s for the same piece of equipment or increasing authorization limits to an amount that is well above level of authority for fleet managers. As an example, we could have a machine that cost $20,000/ month and plan to use it for 12 months. My preference would be that the PO would be written for $20,000, invoiced each month, and stay open for future months to allow for recurring charges. The way I understand the system today, is we would need to issue a PO for $240,000 to cover the entire term of the PO. If we need it for 13 months, then we would have to create another PO. We have well over 100 equipment PO’s so this can get messy if we have to write multiple PO’s for each unit.

Ask if anyone has noticed certain behavior in IFS 9.0, using Purchase Orders / Purchase Order Change Order.- We noticed that within the right-click option, after an approximate time of 25 or 30 Minutes the "Supersede Authorization" option disappears from the menu and only returns it when you log back into IFS.If you can help me in this case I would be infinitely grateful.Add image:     

What’s the best way to cancel a partially authorized Purchase Requisition [Order Code 5] created through Project Misc Demand? 

Hello, If we need some exterior operations from our suppliers, we are using Supplier material For Purchase Order Line module to ship and trace the material that our supplier needs. After reserving the necessary parts, we are using “Print Pick List for Purchase Order” which creates a “Delivery Note for supply parts”. This is great to share the information with our supplier, but sometimes our supplier sends us a Purchase Order for the required material. My question is how can I indicate our supplier’s PO number in the delivery note for supply parts ? Thank you for your help.Baran

Hello, I am working with a client on an issue where they converted from Apps 7.5 to Apps 10. They ship non-inventory material from one location to another. The shipping location is set as an internal supplier. The customer is an internal customer. The Customer site enters orders using sourcing code (Int Pur Dir). When the CO is released, a PO is created. The PO shows source (Int Cust Dir). Everything so far functions properly. I have not seen any issues with the setup of the internal customer or internal supplier. Both have the proper flags. But somewhere the initial setup missed something. Proof of concept. In Apps 7.5 system, they can still run the process listed above and everything works. Several CO’s were migrated into Apps 10. Those can be processed correctly as well. However, new CO’s in Apps10 will not complete properly. It gets stuck in Register Direct Delivery. In Apps 7.5, the Register Direct Delivery screen shows the Purch Qty to Deliver and the Inv Qty to Deliver.  In the

I would want to prevent or hold a Purchase requisition from being “Requisition to Order” or “Requisition to Request” when the custom Boolean field “Hold” is checked.At what stage should the the custom event be triggered…Any suggestions ? 

I have played with “Create S/P Req”, and I cannot get requisitions to be in the past (like in MRP).If you chooseCreate S/P Req  - you will only get reqs after the DTF, but none after PTFDo not- well you don’t get any reqs Entire Horizon - you get anything after DTF and after PTF...from MRP - you do get the reqs in the Past, but the Forecast does not appear in IPAP. Help Please

Hi, Let´s say we place orders for a car from a supplier. The total cost for a car is 30 usd, consisting of 10 usd for the hood and 5 usd per wheel.  The car is a purchase structure.We place an order for a full car from supplier A, in order for supplier A to build the car we must supply them the wheels. The wheels we purchase from another supplier, supplier B.Now when we place a Purchase order, PO for a car, a customer order, CO is generated for us to supply supplier A with 4 wheels. This seems to be called component parts. When the car is delivered to us we receive an invoice for 10 usd. since we have provided the wheels ourselves. But in inventory transaction history the received value of the car is 30 usd. Now in part cost 10Level 1 has a car with “level unit cost” of 30 usd, and since level 2 consist of 4 wheels x 5 usd, The total cost to next level is 50 usd. The wheels are being calculated double. I don´t know how to best handle this in order for the component parts to only be cal

I am coming from a Microsoft C5 environment - here we have a very quick way to see all purchase transactions on a stock item from various suppliers. So we can “track price” for years easy in an overview.  I can get a similar overview in the “Purchase Part” menu - but only in the Supplier agreement section. Now there is a _lot of parts_ with no supplier agreement.  So how can I easy browse a parts purcase history and cost price when there is no supplier agreement on the part ? See screen shots below, Thanks,Uffe     

I am looking for an automated way (without customization) to ensure that PRs/POs are not created when a supplier / supplier for purchase part does NOT have a PPAP document attached to it.   Backup solution is a custom field that indicates if a PPAP file type is attached to the supplier or SFPP record and only allow activation if the file is attached. I am hoping there is a simpler solution.    

Hi Does anyone recognise the error message (shown below) on the inter site incoming customer order(see screen shot below)? If so what is the cause of this error message? We have tried to process in inter site order with and without with single occurrence box checked.     Example 2 (Single Occurrence not even ticked)     

We are currently on APPS9 and moving in October to the Cloud version We are finding the Purchase Order Change Process is very clunky in the new cloud version, is there a way we can remove the need to create a change order and just make changes to the original order as per most other systems -  Authorisation level is excessive on Purchase Order Change Orders - We only need it to be on increased value of order - Any help would be greatly appreciated, new to IFS - Thanks Sheila

Dears,I have a question about Purchase order authorization rule if I put a rule from 20000000 to 50000000 what will happen to PO above 50000000 ?is it be approved directly? Thanks.

Dear Community,I am having trouble figuring this out and may be it is because am a bit new to Custom Fields. Have also tried to read around but have failed to find a solution.I would like to move a column “Expiration Date” from a window under the Lot/Batch No pop up window into the background Transport Task window so that it shows as one of the columns. That is, whenever the user selects the Part No and Lot/Batch No then the Expiration Date (for this Part No and Lot/Batch) is auto populated.I would like it to be visible in the window behind (Transport Task)ScreenshotThank you in advance
