Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

We have a raw material that needs to be changed from regular purchase to consignment part.  I know to change the Ownership to Consignment in the Supplier for Purchase Part and to update our default location so we meet the requirements of consignment parts in stock.  My question is what if we have current Inventory in Stock?  Do we need to do something with it?  We are in APPS10 update 11

Hi We are looking to see how can we process a customer order for the sale or loan of either a tool or a non-inventory part. Thanks Joe   

Is it possible to have a PO line split the charge to two projects and adjust based on percentage. So a line with a qty of 10 at a $10 unit cost could have the $100 split 38% to one activity and 62% to another activity? Or some other way to accomplish this?

According to the IFS Cloud product documentation, “Unlike the purchase requisition authorization rule and the purchase order authorization rule, the approved supplier list has nothing to do with the amount on the requisition/order. Instead, the purpose of this list is for quality assurance authorization, and thus the quality assurance department will most likely maintain the list. For example, in the aviation industry where the requirements for aircraft part suppliers is very high, this list could be used to streamline authorized purchases. If the supplier has been approved, the flow will proceed without any stops. However, if the supplier is not approved or the expiration date for the approval has exceeded, the quality assurance department will be notified, and an authorized member of that department must confirm that the purchase can proceed.” It has been observed that if there are purchase authorization rules (PR or PO) do exist for purchasing amount

I am looking to automate the shipping address (to Supplier A) on a PO for some component parts (from Supplier B) in IFS10There is no customer order attached to this demand, as such we cannot use the supply code (on sales part) to drive this change. We need to set this up on a per part as they only apply to a handful of parts that we order from Supplier B. (ie. We cannot set this up against the supplier record)  

Hi Experts,We have  configured an OCI punchout url as per ifs guide lines. If we click on the webshop button 401 error throws(in network console). System does not even open a new tab and give error, instead as soon as web shop command executes, the webpage(procurement portal page) refresh and then remain as it is.However, if I do the same setup in another environment and execute web shop command everything works perfectly. Earlier I suspected that the issue is with the url provided by the vendor, but it is not the case.Only difference in these two environments are the versions.The one throws error is 24R1UP5The one not throw any errors is 24R1UP4Basically latest version is the one causing the issue.Anyone came across same issue ? any input. Or can someone in ifs confirm if there is a known bug as such ?

Hi all,A question on Master schedule and demand/supply behavior of customer orders with supply code shop order and shop orders related to these orders.We are running cloud 24.2.7.  I have the problem that IFS generates supply from shop orders that are created via customer orders with supply code: shop order, but the connected customer orders don't create demand in the master schedule.This means that we have a forecast for a next month, but the supply created by the shop order connected to the customer order makes that the system tells us to create less for this month, see screenshot: We drop the forecast at the start of the month.  Can someone explain this logic or am I missing settings? Kind regards, Evert

Hi Community, We found to configure it, all it works but we didn’t find what minimum permissions sets are requiere to be able to validate a purchase order on notify me.

Hello, I have noticed system behavior that I am not able to correct. We use the PO Change Order function in IFS. If a PO is in a Released status, you cannot connect a Project Activity, the system indicates you must use a Change Order. However, when you create one, there is no location on the Change Order to attach the project connection. I do not understand this design. Is there a way to update a PO and connect a project when the PO is in a Released status? As of now, the only workaround I have found is to cancel the PO and recreate it in a Planned state. We are using Apps 10 UPD 12. Any guidance would be appreciated. 

I’m looking to trigger an event action email in IFS Cloud when the system date equals the date entered in the date field. I have tried entering TRUNC(SYSDATE), TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE), and #TODAY#. I have been using the NEW:EXP_DATE field. I’m trying OLD:EXP_DATE to see if this triggers.Does anybody know how to trigger an email when dates match?

Dear IFSI have an error when I trying to add to a existing Purchase Order Express (Order Code 5) a new line from a new Purchase requisition. Why? In Purchase Orders Normal (Order Code 1) I can do it withou any problem.Thanks 

Good Afternoon,Can anyone advise why the error message below is showing when trying to add additional lines to an existing PO? Many Thanks 

Hi Team,  If a PO is created and release and later we want to manually close it either after partial receipt or no receipt,  we need to create the purchase order change order but it does not allow us to make purchase quantity “0”, so had to cancel the lines, is it the right way?

When we add non-inventory sales parts to the material tab of our work tasks, the system defaults to supply code of purchase requisition.  How can we have this default to something other than a purchase req. etc as we don’t purchase these items.

I’m about to use PO template method and the Order quotation method to handle the Recurring Purchases/ Service Items and agreement-based Purchases. Is there any method beyond this? 

Hello In IFS Cloud, does the PO, GRN and invoice match for Services has to be accurate, or can it be within logical constraints (“Invoice is equal or less than remaining GRN”)? Is the following example of three way matching for Services (not Goods) possible in IFS? Issue POOn 1 Feb 2026, a PO for 100 units of Service is issued.Goods Receipt (GRN)By 3 March 2026, the company receives 70 units of Service.A GRN is created for 70 units, referencing the PO.This GRN is stored in the system and awaits invoice(s) for matching.Invoice 1 Arrives (40 units)On 14 April 2026, the supplier sends an invoice for 40 units of Service.The system performs three-way matching:PO: 100 units.GRN: 70 units received.Invoice: 40 units billed.Match is successful — invoice is approved for payment.Invoice 2 Arrives (30 units)On 20

Hi,I have set up a new Order processing type, which would release a PR, convert it to a PO, Release the PO and then Print the Purchase Order.  I have then scheduled Automatic Order processing against this order processing type. I have successfully been able to get through all of the steps. I am now looking to have the printed PDF sent to the supplier. I have the Email Purchase Order check box selected on the supplier.I also have a default email comm method and a contact listed on the supplier.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to successfully have the email send out.Additionally, I would like to edit the subject and body of the email. 

My organization is in the process of implementing IFS cloud as our new ERP system. I am looking for thoughts/ideas around how to register arrivals on lot tracked material. For example, I order 10 skids of material that all have individual lot numbers and individual weights. The purchase order is for 40,000 lbs. of part number 12345. I would like to register the arrival against the PO by populating 10, 4000 lb. skids by individual lot numbers without manually overriding the PO. Is there an “upload” functionality that can avoid the manual process? Other ideas? Thanks in advance for the thoughts!

Hello, All, Master Schedule by Part form does not take into account Purchase Orders that are with past due dates, when calculating supply proposals. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello all. I have acidently posted a serial part back to the inventory over a work order return. That was the first transaction for this part serial. As it was wrong I have issued it away from the stock over the work order material issue.Now we have received exactly this part - serial number over a purchase order from owr supplier. When I try to register the arrival (RMT receive with serial / Lots in the “Register Arrival” window) I receive the error message:So this serial part has current position “issued” and while we have activated the checkbox “Stop PO Arrivals of Issued Serials” by the Main Part, I receive this error message and cannot register the receipt of this serial.As I know if I w

I am working on a shortage report for shop orders material. I have a concept of if full required hasn’t been issued of that material by the date required and date required < today then its fine I can mark it as a shortage, I want to look for future shortages (90 days) and I am thinking how to do that? any ideas? how can I suspect if the future date required (Say 5 days from now) the part will be on shortage or not?The only thought I have his to check if the SO/PO is against that demand (but that too is confusing how to do..)

I am attempting to configure a purchase order authorization rule, in combination with the routing template, that does not require the buyer/PO creator to authorize the PO.Can IFS be configured to by-pass the buyer if the PO is within their authorization limit or, because the buyer is listed as an authorizer with a limit, they must then authorize the PO as the first step in the routing template? Example:Buyer - Sam - Creates PO for $450Sam - Authorization limit $500Manager - Authorization limit $501-$10,000 Is there a way to bypass Sam/Buyer if purchase orders below $500?Can the authorization bypass the Buyer and go directly to the Manager if the amount is above $500 if Sam/Buyer created the PO? The goal is to remove the person creating the PO from the approval process.
