Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hi,Is there a way of preventing requisitions being grouped when demand is added. So, instead of 1 requisition being created with a quantity of 24. Instead 3 individual requisitions would be created (20/2/2) for an activity. Thanks,R

is it possible to set the Shipment Type automatically to (NR - Create Shipment on Release) in the Delivery Information tab when a customer order is created. I have set the shipment type to (At Order Release) in the Basic Date but it is not working.

Hello Community, For some reason we have to put the purchase order to a stopped status. Because the order cannot be changed from the published status to the planned status.However, for purchase orders with the status of Stopped, MRP creates demand again.  Do you have a basic data or suggestion for a different solution to include in this situation? Regards,Barış

I have two remote warehouses that are setup as putaway zones. When trying to refill parts in these warehouses from Inventory, is there a way to specify the warehouse from which the refill should occur? Scenario: Warehouse MAIN Warehouse A (Remote Warehouse) Warehouse B (Remote Warehouse) We want parts in B to be refilled from A if there is enough quantity. If not, then the refill should be from MAIN. Warehouse A should always be refilled from MAIN.   How can we handle this scenario?

 Hi! Grateful for any tips with this supplier return issue my company has. We have to do a supplier return on an inventory purchased part that was brought back into stock through an RMA, not a purchase order. So we can’t reopen the purchase order and create a Supplier Shipment to send back the item in the normal way.If we set the supplier up as a customer and do a customer order to get the item out, then the project sees’s a negative variance because we are ‘selling’ something that has a cost, for nothing, which has upsets our project managers! So I would rather not do it that way. (Our company has mandatory project connection on customer orders)Any ideas would be very welcome! Thank you, Alex

When creating supplier records, sometimes there are conditions that need to be met before purchasing officers place an order. Eg: “quality review required before order placement”, or “supplier must not be used on XYZ site” or “JSA and work plan must be submitted before work undertaken” - those sort of things. However once I create a supplier record, there is no way that I know of to prevent orders being placed until these conditions are met. Essentially, I need some sort of alert to the purchasing officer to appear when they go to create a PO for some suppliers. I can put a sticky note on the supplier record highlighting these requirements, but the purchasing team don’t go into the supplier record when they create a PO, so they won’t see these requirements. Is there anything that can do this?

Hi All, One of my client is evaluating the possibility of integrating CRM Business Opportunity  Lines for existing sales parts with IFS Demand Planner Solution. I believe demand planner graph does not support future Customer Orders or  Business Opportunities. Is there any customer who has done similar customization or catered for similar requirement? Appreciate your suggestions on workarounds as well Thanks a lot Kind regardsChanaka 

Since upgrading from apps9 to apps10 about 2 months ago, we have had an issue with our MRP Action Proposals. MRP is generating the proposal “Remove Order” for parts which have requirements, and also the POs are already in state “Arrived”. I have checked our legacy ifs9 environment and confirmed that this was not occuring in apps9. Is there a way to prevent this from happening when we run MRP? The purchase orders are already arrived, so in my opinion it doesn’t make sense that IFS is recommending us to cancel these order lines, and it is causing confusion for our material handlers. 

What is the maximum number of lines that can be added to a Customer Order ?Is there any option to increase the same ? (e.g 200 to 300)

HiIs there a possibility to exclude the shop order type "prototype" during the MRP run?
