Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

I’ve run into an issue while attempting to move reserved stock for a Purchase Receipt Return.  Environment: 22R2 SU 5 and 23R1 core release (no SU applied)Process steps:Register Inspection Results on Receipt Specify Return for Credit Upon report return, a Shipment is created to return material to Supplier When I attempt to move this reserved stock to a different location, I get an error indicating that the material is reserved and I can’t move itMisc Set-up:Move Reserved Stock: Allowed Shipment Type: NP - Receipt Return is set to At Report Return (I’ve also tried not automatically creating the Shipment)Why does the application prevent a material movement when the Site setting allows moving of reserved stock?The business requirement requires material to be moved from one facility to an adjacent facility which will require two inventory moves - first to a staging location, then to the ultimate destination where it will get picked to the Shipment.  Is this a bug or core functionality?  Th

It is not straight forward to identify which serials or batches were shipped. I was always advised to search into “Inventory Transaction History”, which is poor and technical (transaction code =  OESHIP !) : for a single customer order, you might have lots of transactions, cancellations included, then you must look at the latest timestamp…On the other hand, there is this nice customer order line reservations analysis used an overview, but which is filtered for shipped units. Good news is that the view CUSTOMER_ORDER_RESERVATION being the scenes also contains shipped units. Very useful when I’ve built a lobby, but let’s extend this screen to shipped units.  Note : now shipments are used with other sources like shipment orders from project deliverables, transfers, it would be awesome to make it generic and extend that list to everything which is shipped out. 

How to prevent the split of the analysis when the Control Plan has both Attribute and Variable Data.We need only one sample size.

Hi guys.I got this massage when I search for an inventory part in inventory parts.“A generic error occurred in GDI+”Would you help me plz? 

Hi, What all functions is it possible to use in the Default Value field in Dynamic Attribute Template (Basic Data for Assortment Node) screen? I am trying to use a decode function but receive an error. If I use NVL, it works so would like to understand what all values is it possible to provide for this field. Thanks, Harini    

In supplier agreements, there is the list of valid sites, which is fine for small companies. But not multinationale ones. Imagine a group with 200+ sites and 20 companies. Their issues are :Define group level agreements (e.g. valid for x companies) Define country level agreements (e.g. valid for one company) And maybe define site-specific agreements for local suppliersThe usability improvement required is to define the scope of the supplier agreement based on companies and sites. Site column remains optional in the sense is could be valid for all sites within the mentioned company.Benefits are easier to configure the agreement, prevent making mistakes while adding sites one by one, and give a better visibility between group agreements, country agreements and local ones.  

Hi, I would like to spread NON inventory parts to Sites in IFS Cloud, to avoid creating the same non inventory part in each site. I found Assortment functionality which allows to spread the part to multiple sites but the part is created as inventory part not non inventory part.Is it possible to use this functionality with Non inventory parts ? or is there any functionality in IFS which allows to spread non inv part into different sites Thank you , 

We are using Pagero to automate our supplier invoices for IFS Cloud 22R2.  The problem I am running into is with taxes.  I can get the invoices to come in and create an external supplier invoice only if we remove all taxes from the XML file and then add them at posting.  If I try to use the tax info off the invoice, The calculations are never correct.I have tried adding the tax into the supplier info but it is still not calculating.  I have the External Supplier Invoice Parameters set to Tax Recalculation Method to both. Any ideas what else I am missing or if this is not just functional in IFS? 

In remote warehouse, How we can remove excess inventory automatically?I have marked Yes at remove excess inventory but dont know how it will work. Regards,Sudeep M

Hello all, I am trying to do the following but keep getting the error message shown below :   Any advice please ?

In one (or possibly more; I haven’t checked) of our projects the Planned Cost is not equal to the total of“Total Planned Cost” columns in Misc Parts and Misc No Partplus“Planned Cost” in the Resource tabof the project.I have “Refresh Project Connections” running every night on a schedule (this updates the Planned Costs for each project) . Does this mean it isn’t working properly? 

Community,any chance to know where we could see the approvals from purchase requisitions? in Approvals window, we cannot see approvals from purchase requisitions but only purchase order.Thank you.

First, I apologize if this is in the wrong sub forum. This question technically touches 3 different modules (Projects, Work Orders, Supply Chain), but since it ultimately involves trying to change a purchase requisition status, I thought procurement would be the most relevant. I am wondering if there is a way to manually close a purchase requisition that is connected to a PO when the system didn’t automatically switch the req status to closed.We are trying to close out a project that has connected work orders and associated purchase requisitions. The purchase requisition lines have been converted to purchase orders and the purchase orders have been closed (or cancelled in one case). However, we are unable to close the project activity because there are outstanding open requisitions associated with the connected work order. Generally the requisition status changes to closed once a PO is created, but for 4 requisitions associated to this project, they are still stuck in released. It’s po

Hi Community, facing this error while changing the status of the work task, any suggestions how to tackle this one ?  

Hi We have a question would appreciate any help! A sales order is released and at planned stage, when we run MRP generates a requisition list of all stock items (not this order all options) note no stock is booked in yet as test system had cut over.But when we released order to manufacturing order status at released and update MRP the requisition list is updated and reduces to just that requirement.Why is this to help in understating using MRP?ThanksLaura  

Hi, Need some help to remove the time stamp on the dates in Aurena quick report so that we can easily filter the report from the screen before downloading. I have tried TRUNC and also TO_DATE which both work in EE but not in Aurena which leads me to believe there is some other setting. Thanks!  

I have seen 2 other posts regarding this same error message but neither seem to match our situation. We are operating on APP9. User is attempting to move the work order to finished when this error message appears. All lines on the work order materials tab are either issued and/or closed. Due to costing issues in APP9, we create the purchase order and then peg the work order material line to the purchase order. As we tried to trouble shoot, we found the pegged work order material lines screen and noticed that some of the lines appeared on this screen. In all cases, the Qty pegged field was zero but the total pegged column matched the qty required column. Additionally we noticed the quantity available was a negative number. However, this didn’t match the data found on the material line in the work order nor did it match inventory part in stock. We are stuck on how to get the work order moved to finished status. Thanks for the help!

Hello, Could you please explain to me in which context the four default supplier addresses types are used (Delivery,pay, visit, document) ?Thank youLina

Hi All, I would like to know, is there any impact on 'reserved’ stocks while doing stock counting, i.e. do we need to un-reserve all materials pegged with orders (CO, SO,... etc) or not ? -Thieuban-

Hello,I notice that on the standard purchase order report there is a Supplier Agreement Ref field.Is this the supplier agreement number? I have a contract applied to my lines, but nothing is displayed on the printout.  In addition, no data is displayed for the following labels. Is this a display bug? 

Hello IFS Experts, hoping someone can provide a recommendation.We have international containers that come in that contain multiple po lines from various POs. When we receive updates on changes in planned arrival dates, we want to mass update all po lines across all purchase orders using one mass change.  We understand that you cannot mass update using PO Lines, which would be ideal, but this is not standard IFS functionality. It is very time consuming when we have to update potentially 50+ various lines across many purchase orders.Does anyone have ways which they have found to do this even if through a customization? 

We have Custom Fields present in our LU PurchaseOrderLinePart that we want to display in Purchase Order Lines for ease of use, management and reporting. How can we do this as PurchaseOrderLine does not appear in the Approved Detail Views and I am reluctant to recreate them all as Read Only CFs pulling from the PurchaseOrderLinePart if I don’t need to.Thanks, 

Hi All, May I please know if there is an excel list with all the tables and its equivalent IFS transactions? Preferably, IFS Aurena.Thank you.

Hi everybody,starting with Procurement > Order > Analysis > Invoiced Purchase Orders we can hop via RMB (Supplier Invoice Entry) to Financials > Supplier Invoice > Manual Supplier Invoice We checked the underlying structures and found:a) VIEW PURCHASE_ORDER_INVOICE with Table PURCHASE_ORDER_INVOCE_TAB (POI)b) VIEW MAN_SUP_INVOICE with underlying INVOICE_TAB (I)     VIEW MAN_SUP_INVOICE_ITEM with underlying INVOICE_ITEM_TAB (II)(filtered by rowtype like ‘%ManSuppInvoice’) Now we are woundering what the “way of data” is:Is IFS starting with I + II and “shiping” data to POI?When comparing with Sales we found InstantInvoices and Manual Customer Invoices as well. Diving into this structure we found OUTGOING_INVOICE_QRY, than OUT_INVOICE_UTIL_INV_HEAD_PUB and below the INVOICE_TAB again.So is the PURCHASE_ORDER_INVOCE_TAB just “luxus”?Or is there a deeper meaning we are not aware of?Will we find every SupplierInvoice in I and II and (!) POI?Thank you for every bit of info!Mich
