Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Dear community,we transfer our purchase orders (PDF) to our DMS (D3). The transfer works good. But we can’t open the purchase order document in IFS cause of an error message.  Does anybody knows this error message?

HelloWe got two lines of early order message for same PO line with different due date, PO 151507-1-1 received 594pcs and PO due at dock qty is 2416, what action to take for these two actions or any other proposal? Along with these messages, for the arrived Qty, it should be waited for inspection, why MRP still consider it can be rescheduled （it should be fixed)?  Can IFS take it as available after inspection lead time and how to make it happen? ThanksSusan

Not really sure why the Demand Server cannot be started.We cannot log in with any user.  Error states ‘Invalid Password or username.’The user is not locked. The periods are defined thru 2023I know that a user reported that the last time he used this was 09/2022….so not sure when the error started.Has anyone experience this and know a fix or what to look at?

When creating a New Maintenance Purchase Requisition from a Work Task, it populates WO into the requisitioner field. I would like this to default to blank but required, and use the dropdown list requiring the creator to enter the appropriate data.I was able to get it to default to blank and required by deactivating the Update step in that field, but it would not take any of the list options.

How do you clear a reservation on a purchase order line? Trying to close a PO and I get the following error. We are on IFSAPPS10 UPD#6.  

We recently discovered that quantities scrapped using INVSCRAP are counted as demand when calculating Averages/Issues receipts and also the auto safety stock calculation. What scrap transaction should be used for scrapping aged, excess or obsolete inventory?

I’d like for my planned receipt date to always be in the future on my POs. Is there a setting that calculates the due date so that it is in the future even if the product is needed right now or in the past? We see the warning messages that the due date is in the past or before lead time, and I know the system can calculate the due date when prompted. How do I get it to just update the due date without prompting?

Dear Experts,Appreciate it if you could advise on how to set up subsequent PO approver when original PO approver is out of office scenario? Do we have any IFS setting to add subsequent approver? Thanks in advance.Darshi 

Hi All, I was trying to do an INT PURCH DIR to deliver a part that is customer owned but located in a sister company directly to my own customer.So my site is Site 1, But the -customer owned part lies in stock on site 2. I now want to sent a Customer order to my customer selling the customer owned part using INT PURCh DIRECT from site 2. But apparenlty the combination ‘Customer Owned’ and ‘INT PURCH DIR’ is not allowed. Is this expected behaviour? Why is it not allowed? Should it be allowed? Is there a workaround for this? Best RegardsRoel Timmermans  

Hi everybody, in some intersite processes the order code doesn’t change to 4 if we release a purchase order.What are the prerequisites?  

When I have some Supplier Consignment parts in stock, I'm using KanBan Replenishment to fill my FloorStock. This KanBan Replenishment is creating Transport Tasks to execute the Warehouse Task. However, when a Supplier Consignment Part is moved with a Transport Task, I don't get the option to consume the Cosignment Part. Is there a setup I'm missing? Or is there a feasible workaround?Thank you in advance.

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 

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.

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.
