Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

I have set up a control plan for one specific purchase part, but I would like to connect it to multiple parts. The goal is to have multiple control plans for different product families. Can this be done with the control plan that is already created and what is the best way to make groups of the parts? Hope anyone can help.

I have created an object link to NCR and CAPA to the customer and supplier. I can also connect both objects. When I want to open the supplier from NCR/Capa, i.e. display the object. Then I get the following error message:No homepage defined for Supplier InfoWith the customer it works without problems 

Where can we find the materials that were located on the Supplier Material Tab after it’s been received?  Currently on IFS Apps9We are unable to select Supplier Material after the PO has been received.

How to perform revaluation for inventory parts with Standard Cost as valuation method. Is there any way to update/change cost for all the parts in one go. Currently using App 9.   Prompt response is needed.   Thanks in Adv.

I have two remote warehouses that are setup as putaway zones. When trying to refill parts in these warehouses from Inventory, is there a way to specify the warehouse from which the refill should occur? Scenario: Warehouse MAIN Warehouse A (Remote Warehouse) Warehouse B (Remote Warehouse) We want parts in B to be refilled from A if there is enough quantity. If not, then the refill should be from MAIN. Warehouse A should always be refilled from MAIN.   How can we handle this scenario?

 Hi! Grateful for any tips with this supplier return issue my company has. We have to do a supplier return on an inventory purchased part that was brought back into stock through an RMA, not a purchase order. So we can’t reopen the purchase order and create a Supplier Shipment to send back the item in the normal way.If we set the supplier up as a customer and do a customer order to get the item out, then the project sees’s a negative variance because we are ‘selling’ something that has a cost, for nothing, which has upsets our project managers! So I would rather not do it that way. (Our company has mandatory project connection on customer orders)Any ideas would be very welcome! Thank you, Alex

When creating supplier records, sometimes there are conditions that need to be met before purchasing officers place an order. Eg: “quality review required before order placement”, or “supplier must not be used on XYZ site” or “JSA and work plan must be submitted before work undertaken” - those sort of things. However once I create a supplier record, there is no way that I know of to prevent orders being placed until these conditions are met. Essentially, I need some sort of alert to the purchasing officer to appear when they go to create a PO for some suppliers. I can put a sticky note on the supplier record highlighting these requirements, but the purchasing team don’t go into the supplier record when they create a PO, so they won’t see these requirements. Is there anything that can do this?

Hi All, One of my client is evaluating the possibility of integrating CRM Business Opportunity  Lines for existing sales parts with IFS Demand Planner Solution. I believe demand planner graph does not support future Customer Orders or  Business Opportunities. Is there any customer who has done similar customization or catered for similar requirement? Appreciate your suggestions on workarounds as well Thanks a lot Kind regardsChanaka 

Since upgrading from apps9 to apps10 about 2 months ago, we have had an issue with our MRP Action Proposals. MRP is generating the proposal “Remove Order” for parts which have requirements, and also the POs are already in state “Arrived”. I have checked our legacy ifs9 environment and confirmed that this was not occuring in apps9. Is there a way to prevent this from happening when we run MRP? The purchase orders are already arrived, so in my opinion it doesn’t make sense that IFS is recommending us to cancel these order lines, and it is causing confusion for our material handlers. 

What is the maximum number of lines that can be added to a Customer Order ?Is there any option to increase the same ? (e.g 200 to 300)

HiIs there a possibility to exclude the shop order type "prototype" during the MRP run?

Hi all, I have a question (well actually 1000 questions) in regards to MRP. We are trying to move the planning process into MRP, I am fairly new to the company and to IFS. We want the forecast to be generated in the DP client, and then transferred to MS1 and MRP, and then for MRP to plan purchase requirements. However, we are raising shop orders for our finished goods, as well as assembled parts. As far as I can tell MRP would plan for both, Forecast from the DP client and shop orders, which would a duplication. How can I set MRP to look at Forecast only, not at shop orders? Thank you, Jess 

I am looking for direction on how to set the system up to allocate costing accurately when we have to order in batch qtys. For instance, our supplier sells the part in boxes of 100. We have to order from the supplier in eaches, so we order 1 box from the supplier. When we receive it into inventory, it is received in as one box. How do we reconcile this when we begin utilizing this material in work orders, shop orders etc? We want to be sure that the costing works appropriately and that we are only allocating cost for the portion of the material that we use.  Is there a way to purchase in box qtys, but receive in single qtys for costing purposes without messing anything up? 

IFSAPP9Please let me know when purchase order line is automatically closed when receiving is done and receiving qty = invoice_qty

Hi,I’m looking to send items away for refurbishment to then bring back into inventory but I’m unsure how to set this up correctly. The process I have to follow is missing something with this step and I’m unsure how to correct it. How do I do this step below as it doesn’t seem to give me this option or I don’t have the correct access to do so?  The above step completes this transaction below  which I’ve been unable to replicate  

I am trying to generate spend analysis data in my environment, but I keep getting an error saying that I don’t have the required access to the companies. On the Spend Analysis settings I have only set up 1 company to which I do have access. The category assortment on the spend analysis settings also only has the same company, and there are no transactions for parts on belonging to this assortment.Are there any other reasons why I would be getting this error, and how do I resolve this?This is on IFS Cloud 22R1.
