Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Demand Planner Client allows multiple flows creation to reflect sales history and forecast per customer group. we have a combine flow for the site. Demand Plan Server window in IFS only allows x 1 Master flow and when switching customer flows from Base to Master it deletes all forecasts in Base flow in DPC.Is there a solution to save Combined flow and then save Base flows to be exported without deleting all DPC forecasts? 

Can someone explain how we can remove an excess Inventory Reservation of a Part that is Stuck in a ‘Shipment’ Type Location? I’ve seen a lot of ASC Customers facing this problem of having potentially ‘Stuck’ inventory in  ‘Shipment’ Type Locations due to various reasons (in Most Cases, we don’t know how they end up having such unusable Stuck Inventory Reservation). For example,  They have an ‘Invoiced/Closed’ Customer Order Line, with a None Zero ‘Reserved Qty’ value. When you look at the Inventory side Reservation, Part is currently in a ‘Shipment’ Type Location. If the Location type is ‘Picking’ we could simply Unreserve the Stock through a Data Repair (Because it becomes Available stock as soon as the Unwanted reservation is Removed), but for a ‘Shipment’ Type Location, you can’t have ‘Unreserved’ stock. I would like to know whether any of you came across this issue in past, if so how you managed to get over this situation?

Hi,while trying to log in to Demand Plan client, i am getting the error that says “Not a registered Demand User”. can anyone say what is the reason? I am trying this in apps-9. the same user with the same permission sets is working fine in the test environment. Regards-Nahin

Hi,our customer are using a couple of punchouts and in their current system there are three different fields for creating the setup: Adress, username & password. In IFS Could there is only one field requiring an adress containing all the info. We have successfully added two different punchout catalogs but they are totally different. Is there a standard adress or are they completely different for each supplier?  Example:Supplier 1:SUPPLIERADRESS/ctrl/LOGIN=USERNAME&action=user&spec=login&OCI_VERSION=4.0&PASSWORD=PASSWORD&USERNAME=USERNAME Supplier 2:SUPPLIERADRESSoci?OCIVERSION=4.0&SENDERID=USERNAME&PASSWORD=PASSWORD&USERNAME=USERNAME&NEW_ITEM-VENDOR=SUPPLIER&ACCOUNT_CODE=&AGREEMENT_NO=&OCICANCEL=SUPPLIERADRESS/cancel   Anyone having experience in this topic?  

This is the same issue as But in Apps10 Aurena instead.There is an issue when working with the Quick PO Registration. The No Part Lines do not stay connected to project when you convert it to PO. The connection does stay for the Part Lines.The No Part Lines connection does show on Quick Purchase Order Registration screen, but when the PO is created, the Project Connection disappears.This has been tested with multiple projects, POs, and in different environments.There is a fix for cloud, but is there a fix for Apps10?

Hi,  Does anyone have any experience of using ‘or’ statements in demand flow SQL statements? We are trying to create a demand flow for demand planner client using an “or” in the sql statement to exclude some customers. Our statement is:Select contract, part_no, issue_date, issue_qty from IFSAPP.external_invent_part_issue_pub  where CUSTOMER_NO <> 'CUST1' or CUSTOMER_NO <> 'CUST2' The flow doesn't error out and is created in the client, but the quantities in the created flow are still the total demand, so no exclusions are being done. Thanks  

I have an “old” component in a buildable structure that is no longer available. I have put the part in Inventory Part on a “no-supply allowed”-status and have the part superseded by another part.How can I make it happen that when I have demand for the old part, IFS will take the supersession into account and generates supply for the “superseded by”-part? I understood that that would be the functionality but in my tests it doesn’t seem to work.In a second option I used “Alternate Part” for this bust also this is not been taken into account for MRP calculation and demand/supply for the new part to replace the old one.Anyone suggestions on this? If this functionalities are not working this way, what is then the real benefit of supersession and/or alternate parts?

We have a requirement such that when a three way match with receipt, PO & supplier invoice is all within the defined tolerance (% or amount), we want the system to allow final posting without an authorizer.  We have authorizer rules already defined, but there are many cases where no authorization is required because it was already done up front (PR line authorization or PO line authorization) AND the 3 matching is within tolerance.Is there any configuration or way around this in IFS?Thanks,Mark

Hi, when we have completed all fields for raising a purchase order, we save then send to authoriser.  But they aren’t sending? Are we missing to do something on the PO itself?  if we leave it for a while, sometimes a day, we would go back in click “notify auotgeriser” and then all of the attempts are sent through at once.   help is appreciated.
