Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Can I create purchase requisitions based on inventory part condition codes?  Can this be done through MRP?

We are starting to look at alternate components and I am wondering how IFS handles demand for alternates that are not planned by MRP, but by Order Proposal. Our alternates are currently set a Planning Method B. Do they need to be set to a planning method that uses MRP?  Also, if we run PRMP and select the box that will run MRP immediately after, will that plan for alternate components? We are in Apps 9, UPD17. 

Can I generate a purchase requisition based on inventory levels in a particular inventory location?  I would be dedicating a particular inventory part to that warehouse location.

Community, Does anyone has experience on below error? screenshot attached. It is a request from Work Order. Thank you.

Why does the Earliest Unlimited Supply Date calculation calculate only based Purchase Leadtime when Purchased Parts have a structure? (Cumulative leadtime is longer than the date indicated in the earliest unlimited supply date) Why does the Expected Leadtime seem to calculate based only on calendar days and ignoring the work calendar and exceptions list?

Hi,I have enabled the option allow changes to authorized requisition .Now i can change supply , quantity or any other details even after my PR is authorized,My question is - after i have done changes to my PR the status is still authorized, Is there any option i can set up so that system needs reapproval on PR after the changes.Note: My customer wants authorization only at PR level not at PO. so changes on auth PR is dangerous with reapproval.

Hello,We have several parts that need to be ordered with one unit of measure on the PO but stocked and transacted with another unit of measure. example: We purchase wire by the foot but stock and transact it in meters.All BOM requirements and stock balances are in meters, but need the PO to be expressed in feet for the supplier to see when ordering.Is there a method to handle this automatically when issuing the purchase order? Thank you.

What is the method to ship misc parts to suppliers? If an engineer wants to ship some samples of items to a supplier, without expectation of receiving them back into stock, how can we do that? Is there a way that a buyer can create a supplier shipment? Is there a backhand way of having a buyer create a customer order without actually going into the customer order module and creating one from scratch?

We recently began using MRP and DDMRP to create purchase reqs for our planning method “G” and “H” parts. We are having an issue though, because when we allow MRP to create the purchase reqs for a work or shop order, the system does not reserve the material to the work order or shop order when it comes in.Is there a way, or a background job that we can run that will auto reserve material to work orders and shop orders where MRP created the purchase req required for the work or shop order? Thanks,Sarah

Hi Sir, Our company is in need to use supplier schedule to create purchased based on supplier agreement and schedule. Kindly is it possible and what are the screens which they can be used?we are using IFS10 UPD11 Best Regards,Bilal Drayi

We have a situation where the purchase requisition rejected by Last approver will revoke the approvals of previous approvers . Let say we have a template of 3 people approving the purchase request like Department Head , HR and Finance.  If the last approver Finance rejects the Purchase requistion, then it will revoke the approvals approved by previous approvers ( Department head and HR). Is there a setup to stop, what we need is even if the thirs approver rejects the other two approavals should remain in place. it seems to be a bug.

Hi,We have started to use the service and maintenance section of the system to record internal work done on our manufacturing tools. However whilst investigating moving this to the production of our new tools I have noticed an issue. When you pre post the work order to what we have classed as the project code (code F) I can not add departments to any pre posting on requisitions header that I raise. I have to  go into every line on the requisition to add the department. Is this how the system is supposed to work? Or have I not set the permission up correctly to allow this?Pre Posting Option in requisition headerPre Posting Options on requisition line
