Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Is there a query that provides stock status by Purchase Group? For example, the procurement team is using Purchase Group as a way to identify categories of purchased raw. Would like to see on hand qty and standard cost.

Hello community, Two sites we have are in an internal supplier/customer relationship. The problem is they have some parts that are physically the same, however they have different part numbers.I would like to clean this up with a single part number for both.Is there a way that the historic data of the part number I drop is linked to the new part #? Or maybe a way to merge both part # into something new, but with the old data linked to this merged part #?For example, I have part ABC in site 1 and part XYZ in site 2. Both are exactly the same, apart from their part # and site in IFS. If I make part XYZ obsolete in site 2 and I create ABC in site 2, I would still like (as a buyer) to be able to make a search on the quantity of ABC we purchased from site 1 and 2 in the past years and have the data from ABC and historic XYZ (without having to specifically ask to get XYZ data).Does it make sense?

IFS Apps 10.Charges on Supplier for Purchase Part not included in the Part Cost if any option is selected in Distribute Charge ByExample:Distribute Charge By = NULLCost Calculation RunStd Lot Size = 10. Purch Charge on Supplier = 1000/10 = 100.00Change to Distribute Charge Per AmountCost CalculationPurchase Charge on Supplier disappears.This means we cannot use the Distribute Charge By options without the Part Cost being incorrect.Has anyone else come across this?Kind regards,Graham

Hi How can I restrict a users from creating a Part record in Aurena but allowing them to make edits. Thanks

We had a problem with a purchase order. The user made a mistake in entering the quantity and as a result the purchase order was for 12 million euros but he didn't see it and as a result the order was sent to the supplier by automatic mail.How could we avoid this case? Is it possible to have an alert before the automatic sending?For example, create an event that alerts us that the amount is very high and to check if it's the right amount. N.B: We wanted to know if there is an alert other than the authorizations. Is it possible in standard or we are obliged to make a specificationThanks.

I am trying to use postion hierarchy in ifs cloud.But my po gets approved without going for any position in system.   

If we are trying to build a custom report that combines both Inventory and Non Inventory Received not yet invoiced items but are having difficulties.  Would it be possible for to provide the logic behind the PDF report in IFS? 

When we try to Share => Email in a purchase order, the background job is created but no pdf is generated. In Report Archive => Show documents  we get Error Message: PDF not found. and no job in print manager is created either.IFS Cloud 22R1

Hi,Can anyone tell me, how to get the effect of moveable holidays in the forecast? I have done the setup for moveable holidays along with the holiday mix factor, but i cant get the effect in the forecast. Regards-Nahin

Hi Team,when creating CO Lines with two different Supply Codes Invent Order and Purch Order Trans:Than release the order and check the Shipment lines: So the next Step in Shipment Flow should be “Reserve, Create Pick List” and not “Create Pick List” because the second line with Purch Order Transit is not arrived and reserved. When testing same behavior but with both of CO lines with Supply Code “Invent order”: than release and check the shipment lines: → so in this case the next step is correct, the second line is not reserved and I can see It also in the next step.

Community,  wondering what is the best practice to have warehouse staff alerted of certain parts when they are arriving at the dock.does IFS support prompting the note with precautions for certain parts? Thank you.

Is there a way to use conditional formatting to flag any duplicate entries in the demand screen within the Project Navigator module?

If you have at the Authorizing Routing Template authorizing by position users can’t see the potential authorizers if they don’t have quite lot access rights to that position in HR. Just seeing the user and name would be enough. Many customers are not willing to give so much HR access rights just for this purpose. Desing bug I suppose?If you don’t have any employee at some autorization step position what should you do with that step? You can of course forward that step to some one else but how to know that this should be done if you don’t even see the potential authorizers?

Procurement authorization rule is defined to use HR data in authorization steps. A person (employee) is found based on preposting information (code part B) from purchase requisition line, and with this correct name is found from HR Position and HR Organisation.The rule works fine, with the exception that Employee Name is not visible on Potential Authorizer view IF the user has not access in HR to those employees.THis creates a problem in procurement where information is needed about the person name.If procurement persons are granted access rights in HR on higher level then names are shown.Question is: when Organisational information is used in PR authorization template, how to present employee names in procurement without granting too heavy access into HR data in HR.Is there an access attribute in HR, that can grant show names for everybody, without revealing any other HR data.

Hi all, I have found very good information about the use of Acknowledger and Authorizer from a previous topic. This is now unfortunately closed for questions, as one has arised for me. Is it possible to put the Acknowledger on the PO?In our case, we have PO’s which needs to be approved by the PO requester before we receive the goods or services in the system. This could be done via the Acknowledger role I believe, BUT it will not always be the same person needing to acknowledge as this will change from PO to PO. Is it then possible to put a person as the acknowledger on the PO, so that will be taken into account when invoices is received and is in posting? And is it further more possible to have an acknowledger before the goods/services has been recieved? As this is also part of our approval process, that the person confirms the amount/quantity is correct. Hope to recieve some answers to this topic!

We are using IFS Apps 8.0, We have Scrapped a Inventory part in IFS 8.0 Test environment.Initially the On hand qty was 6 and now it has changed to 0 since we’ve scrapped all 6 quantities.We have undergone this testing in ‘Scrap Inv part screen’ in Test environment.Is it possible to retrieve the scrapped 6 quantities back into IFS stock.I have checked through +ve counting in ‘Count per Inventory part’, Can this be a solution to this?Or is there any setting for doing undo scrap?Please let us know if there’s any bug ID or fix which is already in place or provided, will be really helpful.Hoping to hear from the team soon!

Hi, community,any idea how to get over this error? tried to disable the event however it is not working. any suggestion if I am performing some wrong steps?  Thank you very much in advance.,

PO has been created from Supply Request from a project activity through Project Misc. Parts. I am looking to split the resulting confirmed PO line into multiple releases for delivery date planning while maintaining the links from project supply request, quotation, requisition and PO.  The duplicate function that I would normally use to duplicate the line and adjust the quantity of each release does not carry the necessary links. Is this release splitting possible without breaking the project links and manually recreating them?

Hi, Does anyone know what the task (job) “Complete DP Data Refresh” functionally does and if it is an essential task to routinely schedule for a live running demand planner client? I have a demand planner manual that details the available demand planner tasks however it does not disclose the specific actual actions that are carried out by “Complete DP Data Refresh” task and the impacts/changes they have on the client. Thanks

Hello, id there functionality to add a note to a SFPP that will pop up when adding that item to a purchase order? Gemma 

As part of a carbon reporting initiative, from 2023 we are being asked to record the weight and material type of components being ordered. (currently an Apps 9 user).We use a mixture of purchase parts & inventory parts. However, the vast majority of our goods are no part order lines. I am trying to consider the best approach for a solution. I see on Inventory Parts there is a Weight Fied, we might just need to add a field for material type. Also custom fields on the no part order line tab for weight and material type is my current line of thinking.Is anyone else considering or have a solution in place for this? Any alternative ideas appreciated.

Hi, using cloud, how can we easily visualise the high level planning from DOP’s and projects? The question is quite simple: we want to visualize when DOP’s and projects will start and finish. Just with a bar from start date to end date. Not too much details, not broken down into different shop orders. Just a broad view of every DOP and project that is running, for example to show to sales or manegement meetings. Does IFS have such a screen?
