Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hello IFS community, We would like to create a purchase structure for configurable part in IFS9. However this error appears when adding the parts:  However I read in manual that Configurable purchase structures actually should be allowed in IFS. Is there any option where I can allow it or how it is actually blocked ? Thank you!

I have IFS 10, and found Undo Customer Order Delivery, but I don’t understand RMB comment.  I right-clicked in box, and no such option is available.  There is a Cancelled Delivery Box, but I cannot select that.  Is this a permissions issue?

We are opening this ticket to confirm our understanding of consignment inventory as it relates to inventory valuation method.  In reading IFS documentation, it appears as if only the Std Cost valuation method is compatible with an ownership value of Consignment set on the Supplier for Purchase Part.  Is there any configuration or work around that would allow the use of FIFO, LIFO or WAC with consignment ownership.  If std cost is our only option, than I must admit I am disappointed as an IFS user that we must accept this limitation in order to use consignment functionality.  If consignment inventory is truly financial irrelevant, then valuation methods and value creation are only relevant at the time the inventory is moved from a consignment location to a company owned location.  In other words there should be no financial postings created until the inventory is moved to a company owned location. Yet via the M60/M61 posting controls, entries are created, presumably to offsetting accoun

IFSAPP10 ? Receipt We see a functionality (RMB function) for changing Lot Batch No (RMB in Receipt), but it is always disabled.Why is this happening?

Can you have the pre-posting selected within the project navigator so that it is pulled into the req when the requisition is created.  Rather than having to assign every line the pre-posting individually - - a PO that will have 100 lines, this gets time consuming.

Hello IFS Community,We went live Nov 1, 2021. Are there tools within IFSAPP10 that provide safety stock analysis tools. We had to run an extremely long process of pulling our old history from our old legacy system Infor XA and combining with new history within IFS and pull together into our old multi linked spreadsheet format  to review, analyze and determine new safety stocks.  We would like direction on where to go within IFS and possibly some links to help so we can begin to research. We did upload our sales history to utilize for Demand Planning is there a way we can use that until 11/1/2023.  

Hi all,Is there a way of adding a discount to all parts for a supplier where an active price list exists in SFPP (without running a script)? With the recent use of price lists in SFPP this seems to have taken precedence over the discount set at supplier level. Can supplier agreements be used for this? If anyone has done this before or has any thoughts, it would be much appreciated!

Hi All, I am looking to setup an alert to notify a member of our planning team when the on hand inventory of a part drops to zero. My thought was to setup an event action, but I believe I would then need to configure multiple event actions for each part. Is there a way to setup the event or another feature in IFS that could be used to notify someone in the event the on hand inventory level is zero? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.,

We have a scenario where we need to send a quote out to a vendor in CAD and they come back to us with a quote in USD. Is there a way to enter the value in USD where the system auto calc’s into CAD in the quote similar to how “price/base” and “price/curr” works in CO’s and PO’s?

Is there a way to cancel a Customer Order created when using the Purchase Exchange Orders functionality?We have a PO line marked as an exchange and we entered an exchange component. When the PO is released, it creates a customer order and reserves the exchange component on the CO. If we unreserve and try to cancel the CO, we get the following error message:   The scenario is us purchasing a part from a supplier and sending a used part back to the supplier for some credit. So the PO line is marked as an exchange, the used part is entered as an exchange component and a CO is created to ship the used part to the supplier.If the used part is lost or trashed for some reason and we want to cancel the CO, how can we accomplish that? 

Hello, Now we implement VMI function, which would like to create PO by supplier, but in B2B portal, supplier only can create PO for one item in one PO each time. Are they possible to create PO by select some items into one PO each time and input different PO qty? please advise. ThanksSusan  

Hi, we are running a single instance of IFS Apps 10 Aurena with multiple companies. Often these companies are in completely unrelated industries, or run very independently with no central body to manage data like vendors for example. If company A and company B both do business with vendor ABC, and we want to have two instances of this vendor set up so each company can independently manage their relationship with them, what is the best way to hide these duplicates from each company. As in if company A calls vendor ABC A-ABC and company B calls it B-ABC, we’d like to hide A-ABC from company B and B-ABC from company A so they can’t accidentally use the wrong vendor and to prevent clutter in their vendor lists.Thanks.

 Good day,I have an inventory part that I buy in LB, but, when we release the parts we need to release in PC, is there any way that we can convert example 50LB to 3pc at receiving or with a routing or on anyway. Is there any way to convert 50 lbs to 3pc? Thank you in advance.

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:
