Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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, I want to just update the price on the PO line. I am able to do this in the application but i want to do this using the API without updating any other values. Is there a call to just update the price? 

We are on Apps8 and we would like to manage through IFS, supplier contracts like cell phone contracts, electricity contracts, contracts with universities… The need is basic as we want to be able to identify contracts per supplier but also to manage the deadline of the contracts.All these partners are codified as a supplier. Is the sub contract menu appropriate for that kind of contract or are there alternatives to do so ?Thanks for your help

Hi,I am unable to find any API call to confirm a PO Part Order line. There are calls for the No Part Order lines. Need you help on this. Thanks 

Hi Mates,it is possible to delete a line from Activity Demand without cancelling Project Supply Request and the line is also deleted from PR automatically (even though the PR is in Authorized state).Is there anyway to stop this ?

Dear Experts,One of my client could not able to see ‘Rental Part Requisition Lines’ tab. How can I make it visible to him? Appreciate it if anyone could help me out.  Thank you.Darshi

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 representative (or at least give access to) for the business mail for the user who uploaded it into IFS. Ideally, we want to only have IFSAPP as the admin user and deselect the ‘Include Records Without’ and for the Business Mail to auto choose the Main Representative who will have access and then be further able to share the access accordingly. There als

Hi, I have a user that is unable to see the list of Purchase Order Authorizations pending in Aurena. User is unable to view in My Purchase Authorizations, Purchase Order Authorizations, Or on the Authorization tab on the PO.  User is an active authorizer and part of an authorization group. I am using the same settings for other Authorizers who are able to view the list. And ideas?

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

HiCan anyone tell me if it’s possible to raise an inventory purchase order but add deduction lines on the non invent tab please.

When we send parts to a subcontractor we use a freight company to ship these items.We create a PO with Supplier A to do the subcontract work.Supplier B (UPS, Old Dominion, etc) is paid for the shipping costs.  How can I associate the shipping costs with the cost of making the part?

Hi everyone,I am unable to delete the inventory, I have cleared everything from the inventory and ran inventory clean-up as well, and still, the location is not deleted. Am I missing out on anything?  Thanks in advance 

As solved on the following post, I understand how automatic sending of reports are triggered via event actions.  Reprint Invoices Automatically Emailing | IFS Community My question is, only one of the users, when trying to make changes and print / reprint the PO, sends it automatically to the Supplier. When I try it with my user, it doesn't happen. I’ve checked the conditions for the event ‘PDF_REPORT_CREATED’ and this is how it looks like:This PO dosen’t belong to the site above as well, fyi Happens with only one user, not for everyone. 

Hi Everyone, while counting the part the unit cost and the quantity is not equally distributed, so basically, I need to count 15 quantity in and count in 3 quantity with an equivalent cost. any probability ?? Thank you in advance 

Hi Team, Have question for Purchase order work copy report print title. When I print the Order work copy which is an internal copy the title on print says "Purchase Order” is it standard in IFS10 or should it be  "Purchase Order work copy” ? BR,Pritesh

Hi,We have several inventory parts that should be purchase parts only. Is there anyway of setting the inventory part to inactive and only use it as purchase part. We have already tried creating a part status to inactivate the inventory part but this doesn’t work when you try and use the purchase part. It gives errors on register arrival. Any suggestions or work arounds would be greatly appreciated.CheersMaggie

Having an issue with Planning method A - for purchased finished good.  Using MS Level 1 - but if I set Min/Max/Multiple lot sizes to anything other than zero, Purchase req’s go away and get MS Supply lines instead.  Also, I am using planning time fence as a surrogate for purchasing lead time, which doesn’t seem to have any functionality.  How do you specify whether MS1 or MRP is  doing the planning?This is all in IFS 8 (upgrading to IFS 9 soon I believe).   

I came across a case where a simple search in Supplier Schedule Line takes around 1 hour to return results.We’ve investigated and narrowed down that the condition that gives the biggest performance hit is the between condition applied on ‘Created’ field.However, further investigation showed that the supp_sched_line_tab had more than 40 million records. So, the performance hit is self-explanatory.40 million is a way too big of a number to exist in a single table. My question is, is there a procedure to clean up older / completed Supplier Schedule Lines in apps 8?  If there is, where can I find more information on that?  

Hello, we are currently using Apps10 and I wanted to know if there was a way to notify the originator of a purchase requisition if there was a chance made to the delivery date on the corresponding purchase order. 

Why can’t you add no part PO requisitions to an existing PO so that a change order would be created? For parts this works ok. If you are using PO authorizations this means in practise that you can actually never add these no part PO requisitions to an existing PO because the changes are only allowed in the limit of PO amount.
