Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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?

Hi,  Does anyone really how Average Purchase Price is calculated? I know the theory, but cannot prove it in some cases of IFS values in Inventory Part/ Costs/ Average Purchase Price .  What i know are:Average Purchase price will follow the parameters that we put in the scheduled tasks, which is 60 days in our case, applied only for Primary supplier. Average Purchase Price calculation will take only Received/Closed Purchase Order lines with the above time range into consideration.Do know what i’m missing here? 

Hello all, I have been reviewing the purchase part price and I am wondering if there is a way to see the prior pricing for a given purchased parted? Part Cost History does not contain this information. I believe we make too many changes to turn on History logging for that field. Currently, our Purchasing group will update the Supplier for Purchase Part record when we receiving new pricing from a supplier. I’m hoping this historical information is stored somewhere that I am not currently aware of. Any guidance would be appreciated!

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 

Hello all, Would you have an idea why, after uploading a new document as an attachment to a purchase order line in the portal, I’m not able to replace the document with a new one ? Exemple:After I upladed the initial document n° “1000206”, version “A1”, I still have a icon “Upload” available (see framed in red below): But, if i upload a new file (= I overight the initial one), a version “A2” of the document is created in the Enterprise Explorer, but it is still the Version “A1” that remaims attached to the Purchase Order Line in the Portal. (screenshot : attachment of a new file as the “A2” version):Result: Nothing has changed in the portal. Moreover, when I check in Enterprise Explorer, I see that a “A2” has been created, but this “A2” version is not linked to any object, and the file type of this document is “EMAIL” (whereas I upleaded a Word). And I cannot see this file : Would you know if this behaviour is normal, or otherwise what causes this dynfuctions ?  Thank a lot for your he

Is there a way to allow a PO to accept a +/- variance to the ordered quantity?  For example - we order 100 boxes, but supplier may have slight over-run, but we accept up to 10% over/under.  Can we set the PO up to allow that automatically for receipts?

Hi there, Just wondering would any body know can you re-open old MRB’s once they have been closed out? Thanks 

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? 

Hi, Does anybody know how to set up correct permission set for B2B supplier portal in application 10 aurena? When I logged in using IFSAPP, I see following screen. But when I used B2B end user I only see following screen,  All business functionality related screens are hidden in the navigator.

Hi, we get below error when user run PO receipt that contains more than 50 rows but less than 100 rows. Do you know if there is some “limit” to how many rows there are allowed in PO to avoid this problem? Thank you! Best regards,Erla Sandholt

This question has been posed before but no conclusive answer was given.We cannot get any result in the Intrastat reporting. It is just empty.We have read this and think that we have set up the data correctly:

IFS provides the ability to add Document Text to some objects in the database (e.g. Customers, Suppliers, Parts, POs and lines, etc). Having done so, it can be configured (via the Doc Text Administration screen) to inherit though to one or more Output documents. For example, we can add doc text to a part record and configure it to appear on any Purchase Order with a line for that part number.This is very useful functionality, but seems to be limited only a pre-determined set of objects.Is there a way to enable document text against addition object types (e.g. could we add doc text to a site, such that all POs on that site show the applicable phrase?)Also, is there a list of all objects to which Document Text can be added (I couldn't find any such list in the help system?)Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello All, I have a question regarding cancelling a Rental PO line by following below test steps: Create a PO for a Rental Purchase Part. Receive the PO. Start Rental from Rental Workbench. End Rental. Return the part back to Supplier. Generate Rental Transactions (optional). Now go back to the PO Receipt and cancel the Receipt - this will re-open the PO and PO and Line status will changed back to Released. Now try to cancel the PO or (PO line). Then you will see below error: How can we create correction rental events to remove rental periods as suggested by the error message?  Or is there any other way to cancel the PO? Does anyone have any idea? Many thanks. 

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.

Hi IFS community!My company use IFS 10 .

Hi,we have the IFS 10 and recently found out that most of the lead times of the components are not accurate. There is any way that we can update the component part numbers in a massive load in to the system instead go one by one. We manage around 500 component part numbers.

We are using IFS 10 UPD9.  We have Buyer IDs set up for our suppliers.  However, when a user creates a purchase requisition, for a no-part line and adds the supplier, the Buyer ID defaults to * regardless of what is set up on the supplier.  Is there a way to make the requisition line pull the buyer from the supplier record?
