I’m getting below error when I try to Run ForecastServer.exe after installing Demand Plan Server? Can someone help me to get over this?  

We would like to offer a one-time discount based on anyone having previously purchased a specific sales part.Once the discount has been applied we would not like to have it applied again….and againWe would like for this not to be a manual lookup for our CS Team.How is the best way to do this? 

When I print a purchase order direct with the windows printer and a second time too the same printer via the ifs print agent the printouts are not the same. The printout thru the print agent is smaller → the position of the address is not on the same point.How I tell to the print agent, that he don’t have to shrink the print.  IFS APP 10 Update 8.

Is it possible to shut off the automatic creation of purchase orders and receipts by supplier?  

Is there any way of retrieving a price from the last purchase order for a new order automatically? 

Greetings, IFS Community. Hope all is well with you. In the help section, I read about the "External Transport Lead Time" and the "Picking Lead Time".I have not been able to understand it. Can I change a parameter from one of them to affect the other? The days on the customer's order are supposed to change if I change the parameters for "External Transport Lead Time" and "Picking Lead Time"? Is there any explanation of how these "External Transport Lead Time" and the "Picking Lead Time" parameters work?   I can see the planned due date change but the planned ship date does not change.

Hi Community, Inventory Part in Stock Balance is Not Matching with Ageing Report with totals , any probable reasons ?  Thankss in advance 

Hello, We just implemented IFS and we are using the Inspect in QA process. Some receipts are for large quantities and we would like to release partial quantities from the receipt. Currently we are registering the inspection results for partial qty then changing the total inspection qty to zero in order to allow Move into Stock. However this restricts us from inspecting further until the stock is moved. Is there a better solution?

Using IFS Cloud/Aurena 22.1.5.2022...I have a client that has a customized ERP where one inventory part number connects to many supplier part numbers. This allows for multiple size containers (truckload tankers, totes, cylinders, drums, etc.) from the supplier to be connected to one inventory part number for the client. It reduces the product structure overhead and reporting time on inventory part usage.They can choose the internal inventory part number for the PO and then select the suppliers part number based on container/pack size.Has anyone worked on a customization/modification to allow this in IFS?

Is there a guide/tutorial on the various planning methods?  Specifically, using MS1 with appropriate time fences for purchased finished goods, with lead times, minimum/multiple lot sized and variable demands.  Looking to target purchases to the demand plan / forecast (highly variable and seasonal).  The current problem: planning method “A” generates purchase requisitions, but will revert to MS supply lines only if any of the lot sizes are set to any non-zero quantity?  Currently IFSAPP8, upgrading to 9 soon.  

Hi AllWe have a Scheduled Database task to automatically receive Incoming Dispatch Advises. It raised an error for a particular PO line because ‘Inventory Part in Stock Object does not exist’ Simply here’s what we did in IFS:Project Supply created from a WO Purchase Requisition raised from the Project Activity’s Supply side PR converted to PO, released and order sent Incoming CO released from the demand site and the Shipment processed  Shipment delivered and Dispatch Advise created, sent Error in automatic receipt background job. Tried to manually receive the PO line, still the error comes up with ‘Inventory Part in Stock Object does not exist’  Is this possible? Why would we need parts to receive parts. Checked the location, no restrictions there. Other parts remain on the location. 

 Hi Experts,I can not create a Sales Quotation due to the below error. But, customer record has the tax code already available. Please help.    

HiIm having an issue with Create Order Proposal.When I run it is failing to create any requisitions for supply despite the demand being there.The error message on the background job says - A supply could not be created for part number xxx on site: STO Due to the following error PurchaseRequisition DELDATE: The wanted receipt date must be after today.I under stand the error, but what i don't understand is why it has suddenly happened. I am using a test system and a lot of the parts have historical demand. It was running fine. The IT Support I have don't have a clue and I’m really stuck as to why / where the change has happened.Please help :)

Is it possible to set up a user so they can only receive Non Inventory Sales Parts and No Part PO’s

Hi, we received a part, and afterwards we changed the serial number (twice)However, when we now want to do the return the supplier, it gives the error ‘inventory part in stock does not exist’. Clicking on the details of the errors, it shows that the system is still looking for the old serial number. Any ideas on how to solve this?

User is getting below error while receiving order code 6. Although i checked on supplier material for PO lines and couldnt find any component part is added there. How to resolve this issue  

In IFS10, shortly after upgrading from IFS8:When we go to an active Task Schedule with a single task, Create Order Proposal, and attempt to add a day, change the time it executes, or alter the schedule in any way we receive the error message, “The Batch Schedule Par already exists.” The SQL trace comes back clean in the debugger having successfully run the validation method on the database task.Deleting the task schedule and database task in an attempt to recreate the job results in the same error message when attempting to reconstitute the task schedule.

Still having zero luck achieving the following (for IFS apps 8):generating purchase requisitions (NOT MS Supply lines, actual requisitions) based on ALL of the following:MS Unconsumed forecastsSafety StockMin/max/multiple lot sizesLead times As soon as any min/max/multiple are set, requisitions revert to MS Supply lines on MS level 1 run.MRP will use min/max/multiple and safety stock to generate requisitions but will ignore forecast and only plan on actual demand.   

Our Finance team have asked whether its possilbe on the Supplier Electronic Payment Addresses screen, to restrict editing of bank details (i.e. account number and and branch number (BSB)) to only be possible when Blocked for Use is checked?Currently, it appears the bank account details can be changed at any time.I was unable to locate any information in the very limited documentation for this screen.I know we can likely do it as a Custom Event Action but first want to see if there is an existing configuration which can achieve this.

Hi Experts,I reduced the new quantity to 0.5 and tried to save purchase order change order. However, I got the below error suddenly. Kindly advise how to reduce the quantity of the purchase order when PO in Received status. Further, explain the reason of the below error.  

Hi,scenario:Sites: “ELDIS” and “RETIA”Supplier: 21273Supplier Purchase Parts:390040336199 (Purchase Part for supplier “21273” and Site “ELDIS”)100015100500 (Purchase Part for supplier “21273” and Site “RETIA”) I make Purchase Order on Site “ELDIS” (header) for Supplier “21273” and check Centralized. There are two lines. First line is for 390040336199 automaticaly with Site “ELDIS”. Then I add second line, change Site from “ELDIS” to “RETIA”, insert part “100015100500”. In this moment system show a info message “This part does not exist for the purchase site”.Question is, why is necessary to have Supplier Purchase Part (100015100500)  for Site “ELDIS” too? Or I need some another settings…?  Thank you

Hi, we use a lot the pre-defined pre-posting for projects:  I was wondering: is there a chance to set a pre-posting related to a single Activity of the project? Currently we are only able to set the pre-posting at Project level or Sub-project level. We would like to have, for each activity in a project, a different pre-posting. Paola
