Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Community, May I know how to the Buyer ID and Authorizer ID printed onto Purchase Order report when sending it to the supplier? Looks like they are not showing up out of the box. Thank you.

Work Order and Task are ‘released’ and I have 3 Material Order lines that I need to create a purchase requisition for, but I cannot highlight all 3 lines and RMB and choose the ‘Create Purchase Requisition Line’ option; it is not enabled.  However, I can highlight them individually and RMB to ‘Create the Purchase Requisition Line’  Why? 

hi good people of the IFS community, I’m very new to this and looking for advice, I look after the inventory orders for the company I work and normally I create them using the Re-order point (B), based on the details I’ve entered into the Planning Details Per Part. this gives me a requisition per item, I could have 50 items for the one supplier ( 50 different requisitions) what I want to be able to do is, add all these requisition to one RFQ so I can send this out to a number of suppliers for pricing, once I get my prices back, split the RFQ between the suppliers that were cheaper for the parts. I normally end up coping and pasting the lines from 49 requisitions into one and then sending that out, this is very counter productive.is this possible and instructions would be great :)

Hi,We are implementing Demand Planner for a client who uses apps-10. We are facing an issue there. its like, based on the forecast models we are getting different forecast outputs. but the problem is for the first forecast month we are getting the desired result but for the rest of the months we are getting either the same value or only increasing values or only decreasing values. but the expectation is to get different values that may fluctuate month by month for the forecasting periods.For example, if we are using 3 months moving average, in the first forecast period it system gives the forecast value averaging last 3 months demand. for the 2nd forecast period it is expected that the first forecast value should be considered but system is pasting the same value as the first period and all other forecast periods (in our case 12 periods) are also having the same value.Would appreciate if anyone can help in understanding this logic. Regards-N

Hello, I am trying to write SQL to capture internal data source via base flow assistance, but I am getting error with the statement. Can someone help me understand table internal data source is capturing and how can I resolve the issue?  

We are trying to find any receipts that have return for rework transactions that are still outstanding.  Is there an out of the box screen or report that would provide that information?  The Received - not yet Invoiced Report shows any return for credit requests that are outstanding but we need to verify reworked parts have been returned.

Any ideas how to solve the topic to keep some materials demand date in system fixed (material level)? Any solution? Case is that would be create to set up the fixed demand dates for some specific parts and the first check availability for those and based on the availability of those then start to procure the remaining parts.

Hi,Maybe someone could help me to set connection between purchase req line and template_id? I would like to have an authorization required check-box in purch req line marked. (App10 version)

 Hello, I have a question regarding the price conversion factor. I want to explain this through an example.For example we have a purchase order(raw material), its 1000mm and about 2kg but its not possible to know the weight exactly. Because when the supplier cut the material; the amount may vary slightly(for ex. 2.2kg). So the price of the material can be change too.The invoice can reach us after a few days. But when the material comes to us, we need to receive it without waiting for the invoice so that we can consume.If we receive it as 2 kg, we cannot change the order amount when the invoice arrives. We have to cancel and receive it again, but this is a serious waste of time. How can I change the price conversion factor after we receive the materials.Or if anyone has a solution for this issue and shares it, I would be very pleased.Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, I would like to have when releasing a shop order, distributions are automatically created with a peg to the released shop order. Intersite PO/CO with EDI set-up is also a possiblity if that’s easier. The point is that components stored in another site should be supplied to the manufacturing site, with a link so it’s obvious on reception where the goods are needed for. Using MRP, we lose the link. We do not use DOP at the moment, and are wondering if this is needed to have this feature. Thanks!

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?

IFS Company customer wants to make sure that materials from IFS Company supplier are available for their products and therefore:IFS Company buys the materials and invoices them directly to the customer (with some charge for administration and stock keeping). When delivering a product that includes this material, the invoice price must be corrected for the material used (after all, this has already been paid for by IFS Company Customer).Anyone out there having implemented this requirement?When IFS Company customer would buy these materials and make them available to IFS Company, this might work with Customer Owned Parts, but IFS Company customer doesn't want to be involved like this

Hello, Currently, when we transition a Buyer or Planner out, a Find and Replace is done to locate and update all PP, IP, Supplier records with the new individual. I thought in IFS Apps 10, there was a way to perform a mass change to a new Buyer/Planner. However, I have not been able to find anything in the help section. Does this functionality currently exist? Thank you!

How do you set up two supplier agreements to have one price unit for a box of 10 and another price unit per piece?I want to do this:When I place a purchase order using this first supplier agreement, for a quantity of 10 pieces and a piece price unit, the purchase order takes the supplier agreement with the piece price unit rate. When I place an other purchase order with the same quantity of 10 pieces with a price unit for a box of 10, the purchase order takes the supplier agreement with the price unit rate per box of 10.I see this :When I create 2 supplier agreements for the same part and supplier with 2 different piece price units , the first one is always taken. I cannot change the supplier agreement with the other.can you help me please?
