Has anyone ever seen where you can reserve a part number without selecting the lot# to reserve?We have large parts and they are not necessarily put away by FIFO and would like to be able to auto reserve (RMB from shop order header) the part without reserving a specific lot#.We are running IFSAPP10.Any insite would be appreciated.

Hello, I have released as supplier schedule and am trying to generate a new schedule. When I run MRP again, a new schedule does not generate even when new demand requirements have been entered in the system. Do I have to transfer the schedule first before MRP can generate a new supplier schedule? I have selected the manual transfer option in the supplier schedule agreement part, but when I try to transfer the schedule I get an error message stating:  the the message transfer is not enabled for supplier. What setting do I have to enable to transfer the schedule? Thanks,

Hi All, I am testing the New Part Assistant to be used by our Procurement team to create new parts. When we Selected the Purchased Inventory Part in the New Part Assistant, it creates everything correctly, except that the inventory part is Purchased. We woukld like the inventory part to be Purchased(Raw). Is there some configuration that we can do to maake it create the inventory part as Purchased(raw).

Hello All,  I need help to know how can I get customer specific total sales and total projected estimated sales under Forecast and Demand planning module? Thanks, 

Hey all,We are having the issue described here:https://community.ifs.com/buying-procurement-demand-planner-asc-srm-41/apps9-payment-advice-failing-on-occasion-when-emailing-to-supplier-13312but that forum appears to be a bit lower on volume -- no response. While it deals with APPS9, we are seeing the issue in APPS10.The bottom line is that automated emailing of Payment Advice stopped working, out of the blue. It had been working since the start of the year for progressively more Suppliers each month as we entered email addresses and configured Suppliers to receive the payment advice emails.We are not using a Custom Event. We have been using native IFS functionality that runs through IFS Connect’s emailer.. One of our devs has figured out how to make things work with a Custom Event/Action, but we'd rather not have to add a configuration when native IFS functionality should do the job (and has been working for several months).Does anyone have advice on how to overcome the "Mail Address '

We have some oversea suppliers that have 30 day terms on the supplier.  The goods are FOB Origin, meaning we take ownership of the goods when the freight carrier picks them up at the customer.  We would like to pay the supplier invoice within 30 day, which is typically before the goods arrive at our factory.  Is there anyway to set up the supplier to allow us to match against the PO and not match against the receipt?

Hello Community I need help understanding the difference in forecast in exported forecast and Demand Planning client. I am using Bayesian as a default forecast model. Forecast for XYZ part in Demand planning client is 2.90 for the month of June, but under exported forecast in Aurena I am getting 4.972. Can someone please help me understand why both numbers are different for same month?thank you in advance for help. 

Hi, I have a customer who is using 2 sites (A and B) for inventory and manufacturing. For that they have defined inventory parts that are existing on both sites, also as supplier for purchase part:Site A: primary supplier = external ; secondary supplier = Site BSite B: primary supplier = Site AWhen I want to make this parts “Multi-site Planned” at both sites, I get the error message of a “Supply Loop”. I understand that there is a loop created, but not as default supply chain. We still want the possibility to use both site A and B as supplier for the other site because we will keep inventory at both sites and in some cases it will be quicker to supply from the other site then externally.Is there a way to overcome this issue?thanks,Kurt

Hi all,  Can KANBAN be used with Project MRP (PMRP)? Thanks 

Hi, User is trying to do a load into demand planner and is getting the following error‘ORA28000 the account is locked’There account is not locked, however.  

Hi Is there a way to use Kanban or to scan and replenish expense parts? We have some spare parts that we do not want to have on stock but we would like to make it easy for the ones purchasing, so they could scan a barcode of the part and then the requisition /PO would be generated with a set order quantity (that could also be scanned from a barcode) and then the cost is booked to  expense and not added to stock value when received. Would appreciate some ideas how to solve this in a good way in IFS.Regards,Marika

Interested in how other companies have granted security and assigned responsibility for receiving noninventory PO’s.  We have a fair amount of project work with Non inv PO’s.  Is all receiving done by shipping dept,  by proj managers , purchasing ?  how have you utilized security and ensured segregation of duties ?

Hello IFS Community, We just went live on APPs 10 Nov 1 2021.  Prior to IFS, our ERP had our boiler plate terms and conditions attached to each purchase order when emailed to the suppliers.  We have since lost that capability in IFS.What do other IFS users do to ensure that their suppliers have their standard terms and conditions? Our preferred is that they go with every purchase order, but if that is not possible, what is the best practice solution that others are using?Thank you!

Dear Community. I was hoping someone might be able to share some information on this topic.I know we can do inspection management when performing Purchase Order Receipts, but if we receive a new item into stock and pay the invoice and then subsequently find that it is non conforming what is the best process to handle the Supplier Warranty? How do we get the part out of stock and returned to the supplier and then process a warranty claim? usually for a full credit. This appears to be a pretty standard request so I am keen to see how others handle this scenario. Thanks, 

Steps –Customer order created. Release, reserve and pick the customer order. This was done through both EE and on WaDaCo. Same outcome. Deliver the order, and then check the background jobs and gives the below error.     Even though IFS has a warning the order does still get a delivery note number.

Curious if there are any US based companies using AP invoice automation.  Would love to partner and learn what work-around customizations were needed with regard to Supplier recognition.  As well, we are experiencing an issuer whereby Pagero payment defaults to just ACH payment type, whereby we have other payment types and are not able to change.The issue seems to be IFS specific vs. Pagero, so hopeful there are other IFS-Pagero users.Thanks,Karen

Hi all, On IFS10; UPD9. We have got a request to be able to mark purchases relating to a specific purpose. These purchases can both be on Project or not on Projects, so Project Code is not really an option.Has anyone has a good suggestion to achieve this? Was hoping to be able to use  Code Part D, allowing to track in Finance, but M1 doesn’t allow pre-posting for this Code Part. And the options available, are not useable for us.  Arend   

Is it possible to edit Quantity in Purchase Order Change Order ? Thanks in Advance

As almost all of our purchase parts are taxable, I would like to change that to default to taxable, which will allow us to use the New Part assistant properly.  Thanks for any help in advance!  New user and working on implementation.  Using 21R2.

We are working to implement intersite processing between sites and in our current process we use the customer order charges tab for freight.  From a PO->CO perspective the lines work fine, however we have not identified a means to have the same interaction with Charges.  Does this functionality exist?  I am curious how others have addressed, or IFS’s suggested solution.  

We would like our technicians to capture assets and conduct work tasks in Aurena. Is there a way to use Aurena offline?

Hi, how can we filter history records by part number? 

Hi I am looking to find the proper projection in Aurena to print the supplier return doc. 

Hello IFS Community!We’re in IFS 9, and attempting to figure out how to deal with an issue. We are having parts assembled at an outside vendor, but we are providing the parts out of our inventory (consignment). We have been defining the Purchase parts as Buildable with the appropriate parts underneath them.After PO release, in the Supplier Material for Purchase Order Line the parts required are listed. This is exactly what we want. However, it is very frequent that we don’t have all the parts listed. Surprisingly, you can’t peg incoming material so we have to check this list daily. We have currently about 30-40 different consignment PO’s in the system currently, so this task of manually checking can be rather arduous.I’m not sure if this is the best method and we are about to proceed with development of a custom script that will go line to line and reserve for us. If the order is fully reserved a custom event action will trigger an email. The development cost is being quoted at $10k an
