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.

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:

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

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  

Hello.I have an event action setup triggering when a new pdf is created with the title ‘Purchase Order’.If I RMB and select email order, the event is triggered and the email subject and body looks exactly as I've designed.However, when I RMB and select Print Order then use the email option within this,this event isn’t triggered, however an email is sent using a standard layout, Is this option triggering a stored procedure in the DB to send the email?Is there a straight forward way to amend the layout on this? Thanks, Jamie

We are using Supplier Schedule a lot in Procurement, and this MRP message makes our Supply Chain more work. This message is generated when the Due date of MRP Buy Quantity falls before supplier schedule's valid from date (when MRP run). For below case, the 16pcs is not showing on the Supplier Schedule. Currently, we are manually putting it into PO.[-pI want to ask, if it’s possible to have the valid from date in the past? We want display the Past Due requirement without manually doing anything.
