Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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 CommunityPlease I need help finding the Power point presentations of all IFS Processes .Thanks  Julius  

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.

Hi Community,It is possible to register quickly a new supplier. In this screen, it is possible to select a supplier template. My question is how to create a new supplier template ? Best regards, Christophe

When performing purchase order receiving, is there a way to specify exactly what lot numbers are to be received on which handling units in a specific quantity? For example, is there a way to specify that 500 pieces of lot A and 400 piece of lot B should be received in handling unit 1 and 800 pieces of lot C should be received in handling unit 2.

i am not sure if supplier agreement can help me in a scenario where we have to buy goods with supplier x and he has put a condition that starting may there will be a increase surcharge on invoices . we raise a purchase order for item a with 10 usd ,and item b with 10 usd, when he is sending the invoice it will come as 25 usd , with 5 being additional surchare as this is not based on product. How can i tackle this additional charges while booking manual supplier invoice. one way is to add additional cost element for these items a and b and do the part costing as we are usng standard part costing. Would like to know is there any better alternative solution.

Is there a way to receive multiple PO lines at one time instead of doing it one at a time?

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
