Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Good afternoonCan anyone how to use IFS in order to use the RETCREDIT transaction code?  We need to return certain goods to suppliers at the point of receipting them and we’re stuck as to how to do this.  I was looking through the transaction codes and found RETCREDIT but I’m not sure where to use this in IFS?ThanksDerek 

Hello Community!We are upgrading from 9 to 10.  As part of the effort, we were looking at the data differences on “The Company” and on “The Site”.    On the site record we discovered what seems like hidden data on the “top level” Inventory tab, under the General, Automatic Reservation, and Transport Task Tabs.  But maybe this is a BUG since these are Inventory Part Planning Properties in a new grouping??  Is the “Inventory Part Planning” tab supposed to be invisible?  Hopefully I’ve provided enough information: 

Dear experts,When we performed the inter-site purchase order return, I am getting below error. I can not change the part cost in these two different sites due to one site consisting of a manufacturing plant and the other site consisting of a distribution site and the two different sites have different costs for the same part. Could any of you advise me to fix the issue or comment on the standard functionality of intersite purchase order return with different part cost structures?   

We are receiving the following error when attempting trying to create a Supplier Return.  We have 2 milestone /staged payments both in Invoiced status. Latest date on the last staged payment is 5/13/2021.We still have parts to be repaired. So, how do we get the parts returned to the supplier for the repair? ThanksHayley

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!

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? 

In a deployment with several company, is required to have differente number for the purchase order by company?, is this possible to configurate in a APP9?How to use coordinators group by company?  

We are looking to start using Order Proposals for some of our inventory items.Set-up is:Planning Method BOrder Point 100Lot Size 25 There is 0 Qty on Hand as this is a new part.(with no demand coming from any work order, etc..)Create Order Proposal job is initiated.A Purchase requisition is created with 100 being recommended to purchase. This is then crated into Purchase order, received into inventory, and then closed.All works as expected to this point. Now we relieve some inventory, either by Count, or by material requisition. The Qty on Hand is now below 100, and actually we’ve taken it to 0. We expect the Order Proposal to create another purchase Requisition...but it does not. It will only create one if we change the Order point to 101 or higher. Ex. - we changed it to 2,000, only to have the Requisition call for 1,900. Can someone explain what we’re missing either in set-up, or understanding of how this process works?

Is it possible to migrate to a custom table (xxxxxxx_CLV (only CF))?If so what do I need to think of to be able to do this? 

We have over 1000 components needing the cost updating in the estimated material cost field- is there a bulk upload for this please?

Dear Sirs;I know that Here below is a function to reset current view as your reference.I’m wondering why my view customized sometimes is reset without the following function launching.Any system batch job work for this reset???Regrads;Yasuda 

I wonder if anyone can help, I have raised a po req for a number of inventory parts, this Req has then been flipped to an order. I had a descrepency with supply and demand on my part availability screen and eventually traced it back to the Demand Code on my Req line.For some reason the demand code has automatically come through as Non Inventory and i cannot find the route cause. what is more worrying is that i cannot replicate the problem when i recreate the req (comes through as Invent Order)Iv  searched on the overview screan and there about 30 PO Req lines (converted to PO) in a DB of 60k inventory parts.Can anyone point me in the right direction here ?TIA 

Hi Everyone, I’m new to this forum and I’m told I might be able to have my question answered.  Does anyone know if there is a way to print multiple shipment handling unit labels at once out of IFS Aurena Apps 10? See below image: I am at my shipment handling unit structure screen where have all 6 handling units highlighted and when I click on Preview, I only see a PDF file with only one of my shipment handling units. I haven’t connected my printer to IFS yet and have been printing out single documents through my browser after hitting preview. Having said that I’m wondering if I would answer my question if I connected a printer to IFS? Within the report & output window you can select which handling unit to print but that does not really help.  Any kind of assistance is greatly appreciated so thank you in advance!

In the prepare work order > requisition tab when you click New, the Requisitioner defaults the code  found in the character and numeric value defaults.   Is there a way to change it from “WO” to the user’s requisitioner id?  ie:  Is there a formula we can enter to make this dynamic?  I tried &REQ_NAME but then it just shows that as the requisitioner id.   I have shown users how to create a template with their id then default it as a workaround but was curious if there was a better option. IFS9 SP17

Hi! I meet a strange question today.  In one Purchase Order, the Total Tax Amt/Curr and Total Gross Amt/Curr is not equal the summery of all lines.Is it IFS bug? Or buyer give some other data error? Is anybody can give me some clue? Thanks! 

Hi all,I have a customer (Apps 10) requirement in which they want to have Purchase Requisition Authorization rules with varying approval templates based upon the Project, Sub-project or Activity.  For example, when the PR is released, the application is checking to see which sub-project or activity is associated with the PR and fetch the corresponding PR Rule and associated approval template.  Within Purchase Authorization Basic Data, we can define the applicable Project Role ID, however on the Purchase Requisition Rule itself, we can only define a Project ID or Project Category 1 or 2.  Is there anyway this can be accomplished with core functionality?Thanks,Faraz

Hi,Im just working my way through some action messages, we have just started using MRP and im quite happy with the majority of the messages and investigating the problem but iv encountered an issue with the ‘ Not Buildable’ message, this is clearly not working as my bom is buildable and the phase in date is 3 years prior so it not date related.the IFS official definition is ...”The manufacturing structure is not buildable or planable. No shop order requisition was generated.”……This last sentence worries me a little as it seems a little random.Am i missing something obvious or is this a bug ?Thanks in advanceAndy

Purchase Requisition created via  a Work Order. All the Lines have been released and Authorised. The Requisition was converted to a Purchase Order which has been fully managed and shows at a status of ‘closed’. The Purchase Requisition in the Work Order is still showing a status of ‘authorised’ and user is unable to change the Work Task Status’s from Work Done to Reported as is getting the following message:Previously, once a Purchase Order was created and closed the Requisition would automatically change to a status of ‘Closed’ however this hasn’t and there appears to be no obvious solution to change to the status to closed. Can someone advise where we are going wrong?

Hi Community, I would like to colour the Used/Actual Hours in red if they are larger than the Baseline Hours. Is it possible to add a rule by using another column? If yes, how can we do it?  Thank you in advance!Best regards,Thakshila

Hello Everyone, in Warehouse Management/Basic Data/Customs Statistics Number a list of Values can be defined. This list is available on the inventory part for choosing.As different sites are in different contries and different countries (can) have different customs statistics numbers, is the a way to specify Customs Statistics Number per site or country of site or similar? Or else the dropdown gets very very long and is error prone for the user to select the correct numbers for his/her site. ThxChristian

We have some strange things happening where SOME payment advice will fail when sending to the supplier. The application message states - ‘Mail address 'To' field is not specified’.Application Message when payment advice is ordered Setup for one of the suppliers affected It appears to be a little random.We may perform a run of 500 payments and 50 or so can fail stating there is no ‘To’ address specified even though the IFS documentation setup has been followed:http://vm-ifsapp-01.brett.co.uk:62080/ifsdoc/documentation/gb/default.htm?openpage=http://vm-ifsapp-01.brett.co.uk:62080/ifsdoc/documentation/gb/Enterp/frmSupplierInfo.htmAnyone  

Hi everyone, Procurement > Requisition > Purchase RequisitionI am trying to raise a purchase requisition but at the Requisitioner field it is set as default my name, instead of PRJ. I do have the List of values to chage it to PRJ. My question is, can PRJ be set as default? Thank you in advance!

Hi I have a lot of transactions haging on the Received Not Yet invoiced account.We have received some small shipments for free.We have received more goods than ordered and will not get an invoice for that. I all other ERP-systems I have worked with there was a functionality to clean out this account by marking the purchase orders and move the balance to the order to the P&L (price deviation account).Is there a similar function in IFS Søren
