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,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

Hi Everyone, I’ve been breaking my head with this one today.  We have two sites, site 1 is the supplier for site 2 (customer).  We do have multi-site planned checked on the supplier for purchase part on site 2 for this part number.I cannot figure out why my inventory goes negative on site 2 on 1/16, and a distribution order is created by MRP and scheduled to arrive until 1/20 -  and not the day before ( 1/15) to satisfy demand. 😣 This is a screen shot from the Inventory Part Availability Planning (IPAP) screen: Any ideas how i can make the dist order to arrive before inventory goes negative?  Thank you!  

Hi,  I have tried running the ‘Cleanup on Inventory’ parts for the first time since we started using IFS and although I can see some lines have been removed, I am still seeing lots of Qty on Hand = 0 Can someone explain how I can run something that removes ALL zero qty on hand as of today?Also, the Date filter in the Clean Up - How is this working? Will it only remove lines that have been zero for the days specified?

Hello,   Is there a way to add free text / notes on a purchase order?  In addition to our standard terms and conditions per supplier per part number we tend to give additional special instructions and we would like to add notes / free text on a per PO basis. Any help on how to do this is much appreciated. 

We have a customer who has some control or special characters at the end of manu_part_no column which looks like a space. When the .NET client validates during the save operation in supplier for purchase part/manufactures tab, it results in error “ORA-20111: Manufacturer part number MDM-15SH006B-F222 does not exist for manufacturer 100074 of part number 112-17-728.”.It’s because it is stored in PART_MANU_PART_NO_TAB as “MDM-15SH006B-F222 “ (note the special character at the end of 222. If I run the following SQL, I get a number of rows. And this looks like migrated data.SELECT  a.*FROM PART_MANU_PART_NO_tab aWHERE  (SUBSTR(manu_part_no , -1,1)) = CHR(49824)Do you know how you can get a character with ascii value of 49824 using the Application?If I type Alt 49824, I get á.

Hi,On Apps 10 UPD15 - EE Client We are investigating the SRM Panel Outlook plugin.We have figured most things out, however the last piece of the puzzle is if there is a possibility for a Business Mail to auto select a Main Representative when it is created in IFS. For example:Whenever the ‘Save to SRM’ plugin option is selected in Outlook, the Business Mail is created in IFS. The only people who can see this record in IFS are Admin users (Or everyone if we have the ‘Include Records Without’ checkbox selected) As the user has to authenticate with their IFS login credentials, I would have thought there would be a way to auto set the Main represen

Hello :) I have a customer scenario where they will create a maintenance purchase requisition and convert it to a PO. On the PO line, I tested changing my PO Line to an alternate part, and it creates me a new PO line which is fine however it is not work order connected. I then cant cancel my oroginal PO line because its pegged to the work order. Has anyone else come across similiar scenarios and how to overcome this block? Your help is much appreicated! Regards,Aisha
