Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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.

Hi,I have tried this scenario of creating a PO out of a work order for hiring in people from another site/company. There, a non-inventory purchase part/no part could be added to the purchase requisition and the PO was created. Since the supplier must have delivery terms defined for a PO to be created, how can we elaborate the use of delivery terms and ship via codes at supplier, when the supplier supplies workforce.Thank you

Can you attach projects to MRB cases ?

HiI have an issue where I can select the authorization routing template on a PO in our TEST database but the option is greyed out in PROD. All permissions are exactly the same and the PO details are exactly the same in both environments. Can anyone suggest something I am missing?Thanks

Community, do you have experience when on Purchase Order, “Planned Arrival Date” differs from “Planned Delivery Date”, which means, according to delivery term, supplier is delivered the goods to the designated location, this date is “Planned Delivery Date”, then we need to send a carrier to pick it up, when the date arrives at our dock, this date is “Planned Arrival Date”.I can understand how IFS register “Planned Arrival Date” in the system, i.e. via Register Arrival screen, but how about “Planned Delivery Date”? How system capture “Planned Delivery Date” when “Planned Delivery Date” is different from “Planned Arrival Date”?  I do believe, supplier reliability is taking “Planned Delivery Date” into account.Thank you.

I have previously used an excel document to get all the necessary information from a supplier, but this was for SE50. Is there a different form for GB60? 

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?

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 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:
