Remote Warehouse UoM error

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

Inventory Part Availability Planning does not show actual demand

IPAP=Inventory Part Availability Planning There is currently a field that shows "demand" against any part in the system within the IPAP and IPAPs windows. Unfortunately this includes forecasted demand on top of ACTUAL demand. How can you see just actual, so we know exactly what is required for only the ACTUAL Customer Order, Shop Order, Purchase Order demand?

Demand Client-How to incorporate new product codes/items to plan for future demand

Hello IFS CommunityLooking to network with IFS Community who uses Demand Plan Client. I would like to connect with multi-site manufactures and learn some of their best practices. How do we handle product codes or new items in the Demand Client? We have a new product but with no history. There will be no historical usage. How does it get brought into the Demand Client for us to plan for future?

Shop Order Reservation and Transport Task

Good afternoon, I have a scenario that I am reaching to help for: When a shop order is requesting and reserving material to be moved on a transport task from stores to point of use, let’s say for example an inventory part and the quantity they reserve is 4,000 ea. This inventory part we buy and stock comes in lot sizes of 6,000 ea. Once the material is reserved and on a transport task - warehouse workers cannot edit that amount so they are forced to physically take the entire 6,000/ea lot size to the point of use, but within IFS it shows only a move of 4,000. So we have to take 6,000 physically, but IFS says we are taking only 4,000. According to research the only option at the moment is the handle this offline and make sure the remaining material is returned back to stores.  Has anyone else ran into this issue and is their alternative solutions?

Return Stage Payment items

We created a purchase order for inventory items on a stage payment purchase order.  We paid the invoice and received the items.  The stage payment process was complete.  We later determined the inventory we received was bad.  What is the IFS process to return the items to the supplier and receive the credit from the supplier?  We cancelled the receipt but now we can’t get the purchase order to close.  Thank you!

Consolidated Purchase Authorization Rules

In App10 we can enter multiple sites within the same company under the same authorization rule for both POs as well as PRs.   My question is, is there a capability in IFS to consolidate this feature across all sites (belonging to several companies) across an organization? The goal is reduced administration by limiting the number of authorization rules to create and maintain. If it dosen’t exist, what are the challenges to develop this feature in the future? Differences in Base Currency for several sites maybe?

MRP action proposals and hierarchy

Hi Community we are using IFS APP 10 and using the process ‘shop order infinite scheduling’ to schedule our production plans. we are trying to establish a best practice for reviewing and actioning action proposals generated when we run MRP weekly. Currently only a few of the action proposals and actioned and the rest generally ignored.does anyone know of documentation that can identify a best practice or standard approach to take when reviewing action proposals?I'm guessing not all action proposals are equal? so I am trying to identify the hierarchy of importance so our planning department can filter those action proposals on the MRP action proposal workbench. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.kind regardsJamie

DP Server functions very slowly

Hi,In one of client, when they start DP server it takes a long time to complete start up. we have tried with both the way, 1. by running DP server application and 2. by running DP Server Setup application & running the Load form DB Job. but in both the cases it takes almost 1 hour to start though there are not much data in the defined base flow and combined flow. need to know why is it happening like this.Also, when we run DP jobs like create forecast, qualify parts etc it takes a long time to complete, almost 7-8 hours.The only job that take fraction of second is Aggregate Daily.other jobs i could not test due to this long time period.In reality customer has more than 4 crore inventory parts including all the sites to be handled through demand planner. but currently for testing they are using few sites only.Can someone explain me why is it taking this much time ?? and what are the possible ways to optimize it?[Customer is using IFS Apps-10 & Demand Planner Server 6.0.0]Regards

Subcontraction invoicing - Sum up orders weekly?

We have an outside operations supplier for surface treatment. MANY orders and parts every week. Is there any subcontracting module in IFS or something where we could handle the orders in IFS as normal but then weekly or monthly summarize the purchases to one PO which can be used for invoicing everything? We are looking for ways to cut the manual work both by us and our supplier just to handle the invoicing on all orders. What I explained above does not have to be the solution, we are open for other solutions.

Purchase Order Authorization - Inter Site

We have set up intersite purchase orders but do not wish them to be subject to any authorization rules.  We have a combination of Project, Position based rules but are trying to avoid the need for a complex set of rules that would require constant administration, as would be the case if we apply any of the ‘usage’ criteria.  Does anyone have any suggestion as to how best achieve intersite orders free of authorization rules?
