Hello IFS CommunityOur current Supply Chain Matrix Route ID is set up for shipments to go out on Fridays.We have Good Friday 4/15 as a holiday, so we want to move our product on Thursday. Does anyone have standard processes they put in place for holidays?Should we just change the Route ID temporarily from Friday to Thursday this week and change back directly after holiday is over? Unsure if it will impact the next schedules for future weeks. We of course will need to do some testing.Thank you!

Does anyone know the reasons why/when/how parts are moved to Internal Order Transit? See Inventory Transaction Code INTORDTR - Move to Internal Order Transit due to issue. Those types of transactions cannot be traced back to a specific order because they do not reference an order type or number. Example: Also, the parts in Internal Order Transit do not reference an order. Example:  

Hello everyone,please can anyone explain to me the logic behind suppliers Addresses ID.the uniqueness rules for a supplier , as my understanding, supplier name, address, association number and banking account are the uniqueness rules for supplier, but for now, i have 1 supplier that has 2 addresses ( same country= same taxe code) my question here is should i create new supplier ID each address or create 1 supplier ID And add address 10 and second address as 20.I am on IFS10

Hello IFS Community,What is the best way to create supplier forecasts?  Is there current functionality that we can just create for forecasts to send to our suppliers?If a quick report or some type of report, can you recommend the data being used to create the report? Thank you, Michelle

We have a part that we have set as obsolete (customer no longer with us) but IFS keeps generating purchase req’s daily for my buyer.  I’ve used IFS all of 4 weeks and I have yet to find the fix.  Any thoughts?

Hi, Just wondering if it is possible to configure the Purchase requisition authorisation rules to be based on the total value of the PR rather than the line value? We are using Apps 9 but looking to upgrade to 10 so any advise on what is possible in either of those versions would be great. Thanks

Hello IFS community, I have a Customer Order and I would like to cancel or delete the line No 1 and Del No. (Fig 1)Unfortunately, the option for cancel is not available. (Fig 2)Any word around to cancel the order line? See screenshot for details.Fig 1 Fig 2 Thanks,JL

IFS Tracks tested: App9 and App10 [Haven’t really tested in the latest versions]  For me, it dosen’t make sense to use the RMB option on the PO header / lines ‘Confirm with Differences Via Change Order’ since it really doesn't enforce a POCO, rather it does the job without a POCO. What do ya’ll think? I think it needs to be corrected. Previous post on the Community [Thread closed, so cannot really post there] :Apps10: Purchase Order Change Order (Enforced) Prom/Plan Delivery Dates | IFS Community

Dear IFS community,I would like to know which permission set can be granted to a specific user so that only that user can activate or deactivate a supplier for purchase part status.  Thank you

Hi All, I am trying to add a sales part to my Remote Warehouse Assortment but I get an error message: The sales part in question has been defined with an Inventory UoM = Pcs, but with a Sales Part uoM = ‘SET/1’ (Sales UoM is on customer request, for some reason they didn’t want to use ‘pcs’). Creation of Sales Part was without any issue. But now we also want to add this part to the remote warehouse assortment for auto-refill and it seems there is something still not OK with the conversions. Does anybody have an idea about this? Best RegardsRoel  

Hello.I have an event action setup triggering when a new pdf is created with the title ‘Purchase Order’.If I RMB and select email order, the event is triggered and the email subject and body looks exactly as I've designed.However, when I RMB and select Print Order then use the email option within this,this event isn’t triggered, however an email is sent using a standard layout, Is this option triggering a stored procedure in the DB to send the email?Is there a straight forward way to amend the layout on this? Thanks, Jamie

Hi Team,We’re using IFS Apps 9.0 and unable to create the Shipment through ‘Source Lines Available for Shipment window’ for the attached Customer order.The motive here is to unpeg the customer order which has created a Purchase Requisition through Supply Code : ‘Purchase Order Direct’.Need more insights on the above query. Regards,Venkatesh Iyer

Hello Community, I have a question about setting Planning Hierarchy basic data for IPR. IF the company set-up is different then Site set-up for order point (demand Model), how will IPR refreshes the data. for example at company Demand model is forecast and for site demand model is History. Does IPR consider Company set-up for refresh or site set-up? Hope some one can help me understand.  

We are using Supplier Schedule a lot in Procurement, and this MRP message makes our Supply Chain more work. This message is generated when the Due date of MRP Buy Quantity falls before supplier schedule's valid from date (when MRP run). For below case, the 16pcs is not showing on the Supplier Schedule. Currently, we are manually putting it into PO.[-pI want to ask, if it’s possible to have the valid from date in the past? We want display the Past Due requirement without manually doing anything. 

Hi, Is it possible to integrate EDI PRICAT message in this IFS function for :1. an existing supplier in IFS and an existing item in IFS 2. an existing supplier in IFS and a non existing item in IFSFor the second case,  is it possible to create the item in IFS (Item, Item-site….) automatically. Best regards

By default this comes up to "Start Date". Is there any configuration to change this default so it defaults to "Weekly" instead?  

Hi, how does one capture price breaks on a Supplier Agreement? It seems they can only be captured on a Supplier for Purchase Part record, on the price list tab. Given that Supplier Agreements sit on top of SFPP in terms of hierarchy if a part is included on an SA then anything on the SFPP is superseded.

Doing clean up on unused requisition lines.  Was able to delete the line from Project demand, but when I go to the Requisition, the line will not delete.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I’d like to remove the permission set linked to the following action : Allow supplier for purchase part on PR screen (when you register a supplier for purchase part for which there’s no supplier for purchase part already created).I can’t find the permission associated to the action.  Thanks for your help ! BR. Baptiste.  

Hi, does anyone know how to book time to an OP when that OP is on an outside work center but there is a labor factor on the routing (and shop order OP).There doesn’t weem to be a way so why does IFS even allow the user to create an OP for an outside work center that has a labor factor!My feeling is that there’s a setting somewhere to enable but I can’t find it.Many thanks!And BTW, we are working completely in Apps 10 Aurena, not EE (which does have a checkbox to show outside work center OPs but still doesn’t allow labor time to be booked).

We have a number of suppliers where our delivery terms are Ex Works, and we am looking to implement a process where we take ownership of the goods when they are dispatched from the supplier location. Currently we register arrival when the goods land at the destination. The requirement is to record the goods in inventory when the leave the supplier location, but also maintain a available date which reflects the transit time to the destination site. I am considering registering arrival at the point of dispatch from  the supplier and using an internal transit time to control the available in inventory date. Would anyone be willing to share any experiences in this area? Is there any functionality that i might be overlooking?

Under the column Calendar days, the help states “This column shows the number of working days per planning period.”  The system is using this number to plan New Operations Plan/Calendar=Operations Plan Daily Rate. So I we have a new plan for 60,000 and the calendar days is 20, 60,000/20=3,000. But this is accurate since this month may have holidays or shutdowns. How can we ensure that the Operations Daily Rate is accurate?New Operations Plan-This column is used to enter the proposed operations plan.Operations Plan Daily Rate-The daily rate of the operations plan.Calendar Days-This column shows the number of working days per planning period.
