Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hi All,  On a non productive environment designed for testing specs : When I have entered all information necessary on a customer order header and want to save the edition, the following pop-up appears : “Document Adress xx is not valid _ check up validity period”.What strikes me is that all the elements below _ involving the document adress and everything else _ are the same between this non productive environment and the PROD environment that works correctly : Expiration date of the adress (none)Client Site Company I am completely lost as where to check to solve this issue: Do you guys have any idea where to dig ?  Best regards,

To use the self-service procurement portal, I want to navigate from the Project Definition to the materials&Services to open the procurement portal from there. Which LTU allows me to perform these actions?If I only assign the EMP_SELF_SERV_PROC_LTU to a user, I cannot first go to my project to open the materials and services menu. I want to open the procurement portal from that activity. What is the solution for this? 

Has anyone come across this situation? Non-stock Purchase req raised with four lines.  Change the sort order of the lines (either by accident or design...)   Convert Req to PO and PO line numbers reversed… We’re on 24R1 SU16.ThanksLinda

When we go into the Change order line 2 has been cancelled but it has been linked to Activities and when we try to update the Purchase order we get this message. We have tried lots of options to cancel the change order but it’s just stuck.We just want to cancel the change order and Cancel the 2nd line on the purchase order 

Hi everyone, Our IFS CLoud environment is getting worringly slow in some parts as we are working on Procurement (24R2). When we (the IT) try to spot it, we do see everything slowing down. Everything eventually works as it should, only slower than expected. We find no errors in our consoles. However our users (the people who use IFS daily) have alerted us that some processes end in failure because of the time out.We worry because the slowing down happens consistently on our test environment, but these are new processes that will be used in production from next week on. We cannot afford to have the new tools go into time out as soon as they go online.Sadly, we have no idea where to start with this issue. If anyone else has had issues of general slowing down, we would love to hear how you went about tackling the issue.

Hi,When using expressorders (order code 5) - Is there in IFS Cloud (25R1) a way to ensure that all lines on a purchase requisition are converted to PO lines before the order is printed / sent out, even if the PR lines are authorized at different points of time?We have got this to work in IFS 10, but in IFS Cloud the first line is printed / sent out as soon as it has been converted.Thanks in advance!JohanNB! We have some customized functionality in this area that may interfere.

Hello all, My client asked for the possibilities to :Visualize in supplier B2B portal attached audit or NCR to a purchase order. Share supplier evaluation with him on supplier B2B portalDo you have an idea if it is possible to do it please?Thanks for your help. Omar  

Hello all, It is possible de define Price effecctive date (either Order date or Receipt date) at the level of the supplier. Do you have an idea if it is not possible to change this at the lvel of purchase part or purchase order line? I have a client who asked for it Thanks

Issue:We have recently identified an issue where the Demand Forecast window remains on the loading screen and cannot be accessed. Previously, a version mismatch between the IFS Application and the Demand Plan server was identified as the cause of this issue. However, the window is now hanging even though the versions are compatible, and all prerequisites have been completed.Environment:The issue can occur if any delivery is performed in a 24R2 environment, as it will automatically apply the latest available framework update. Also, the issue only can be observed in IFS Cloud 24R2 environments which are in framework SU15.Cause:This has been identified as a bug in the core application due to an incorrect artifact was shipped with the 24R2 SU15 release.Resolution:Issue is fixed with IFS Cloud 24R2 SU16.As the fix is related to the framework, you will not be required to apply the full application SU. A framework SU upgrade alone will be sufficient to deliver the fix to your environments. Yo

Hi everybody,in IFS10 we have scheduled task to calculate purchase costs (latest purchase cost).   How to set it up in IFS Cloud?I tried to set it up, but I don’t know the syntax for ATTRIB_ parameter in IFSCloud. When I copy the argument from background job (when you run it manually), it doesn’t work. I am aware of other ticket saying it is not possible even in APPS10, but it definitely works, so I just want to double check. Thansk a lot.Jan

Hello, We have two sites, Site A and Site B set up in a planning network. Both sites A and B can purchase Part 1 from an external supplier. The Site A internal supplier is setup as a multi-site planned supplier for Part 1 on the internal Supplier for Purchase Part on Site B. If Site B has demand for Part 1 and has no on-hand quantity, the planning network MRP is creating a purchase requisition from the external supplier even though we have sufficient on-hand quantity at Site A to fulfil the demand at Site B.Is this standard behavior? Is there a way to change this to have the planning network MRP recognize the available stock in Site A and create an internal distribution order instead of an external purchase requisition? The external supplier is the primary supplier on both sites and should stay that way, but if stock is available at the other site, we’d like to use that rather than buying more. Thanks for your help,Dylan​

I am intending to order a non inventory purchase part on the material requisition by using supply code as purchase. However I am not getting the option of purchase in the drop down.   

Hello 😎, User created 3 PO for same part no. The issue we found is that 1 of POs has different price.The expected price is 0.9821, which is the supplier price for this purchase part, but one PO shows the price as 0.9800.I have already checked the History Log and could not find any record of manual price changes.At this point, I am unable to identify the root cause. Does anyone have suggestions on how to investigate this issue further or what could cause this price difference?

Hello Guys Customer currently faces a problem that after MRP run, new supplier schedule with additional Lines will be created and connected to the PO but no further Line No / Release No will be created on the Purchase Order. Did someone face the same problem or know what could be the solution?Could it be because of the Cumulative Quantity?  

Date only changes within a purchase order is triggering re-authorisation. We have made changes to the PO authorisation rules and tested but no matter which boxes are ticked and options selected in the PO authorisation rules we need to re-authorise.Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi everyone,I am having a problem with receiving project inventory.Here is the situation:There are 3 different projects that all need the same part at the same time. Because of this, PMRP creates: 3 purchase requisitions 3 purchase order lines 3 separate receipts for the same item When the parts are received, they first go to an arrival/inspection location.After inspection, the warehouse team needs to scan the items and move them to the final stock location (the default location). The customer wants to use scanners to reduce errors.The problem is that because there are 3 separate receipts, the warehouse team has to do the putaway process 3 times for the same item.I suggested using standard inventory: Move the items to the final stock location first Then transfer the inventory to the projects However, the customer wants to track the PO and inventory from the purchase requisition stage from the project, so they do not want to use this approach.We also tried the following: From Clou

Hello all,  At the moment of validation of scan order quotation, I got this error and could not go to finish the process. Does anyone has an idea about it please?  

Since moving to IFS Apps 10 UPD 8 the buttons have disappeared from the Receive dialogue box.    Register Arrivals RMB on line and select Receive Receive dialogue box opens but no buttons are displayed on the right-hand side: The same screen in our Test database which is IFS Apps 10 UPD7:     Has anyone experienced this before and if yes, how can it be resolved.

I’m getting purchase requisitions for something we have stock of; it’s being driven by what I believe is our shop orders having a due date after the customer planned ship date. I know the easy solution is to not change either of those dates, however is there a setting that would eliminate that?   Just for visibility there is no demand loaded into the upcoming months either.  

Community, We need to limit user access to certain PO’s due to proprietary info.We would like to control on the point, at PO documents, and PO receipt. supplier ID part no part description priceI don’t think permission set can do this. We are on APP10, UPD 9.Thank you. 

Hello Community,When the Purchase Requisition is created from Project Demand, customer is expecting to split the line and create multiple PO for that demand to cost saving. But As the PO is created from the Project system doesn’t allow to change it directly in the PR. And he procurement team doesn’t want to go to project team every time and ask to change the demand . Is there any way to solve the issue? 

Hi There,Do we have any standard solution already available in IFS  for Bonded Warehouse or IFS has any plan to introduce a solution in their upcoming releases. We have already designed a solution to support Boned warehouse using configurations and lobbies. Think it is not worth doing configurations if there is a plan to deliver the standard solution by IFS in their upcoming releases as our implementation is planned for next year. So needed to make sure.Really appreciate if someone from IFS R&D confirms this and currently we are using IFS cloud 24R1Regards,Mithun K V

Hi,I’m trying to add a persistant custom attribute to the Shopping Cart Line that’s accessed via the Shopping Cart in the Self Service Procurement screen.I checked, and I am able to add a custom attribute to the Entity SelfServShopCartLine I am also able to add the field to the Page via the Page Designer. However, when I try to save any value, nothing happens. When I check the debug, it doesn’t look like the value entered is being passed in the modify call.I checked the database, and no value has been saved.Has anyone faced a similar issue? Or has someone been able to add a custom field to SelfServShopCartLine?I couldn’t find any relavent information or any indication that custom attributes are not allowed for this entity… 

HelloIn IFS Cloud, the max lines to be shown in one screen is 960, when the searching result are 2000 lines and one of field will be replaced by edit all function, how can I do this in one time instead of three times (1st time 960, 2nd time 960, 3rd time for the rest)? Please help to advice. ThanksSusan 

This is in IFS apps 10 upd 25, local installation.We have 2 users with the same permissions, same company and site access, same business roles, etc. One has the access in the INVENTORY PART IN STOCK RESERVATIONS to the Move with Transport Task rmb option, and the other doesn’t. Where is the access for these rmb options on that screen set please?The permission sets granted to both users should grant this access already, so why does one user have it and the other not? Is there another setting somewhere within the Procurement part of the system to enable this?Thanks
