Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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 appreciat

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

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:

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

Hi,I want to replace the Authorizer name that appears in the tab in the screen cap attached. I can find the Authorization rule in IFS (I am using Apps10) but I can’t find  where the list of Authorizers for the rule is.Can anyone help?

Good afternoon,We are having an issue with a PO and wondering if there was a way in IFS to fix it. On 5/5 we received against a Purchase Order like normal. A week later, the PO was invoiced. Following us invoicing the Supplier, we issued a Return to Vendor for Rework against the already invoiced PO. A few months later, we re-received against the PO again. Is there a way to match up the latest ARRIVAL with the RETWORK transactions? This is causing our GRNI account to be off Thank you,Carl

Looking for suggestions as to how to close a Customer Order Line in the following scenario. Created a customer order. Added Order Line 1 for Part 12010 with a Sales Qty of 175. Invoiced a quantity of 140 via Staged Billing. Delivered a quantity of 5. Then we found out that the remaining 170 parts need to be manufactured with a different Config ID. We will create a new Order Line for the 170. But what can we do with Order Line 1 to close it? Is there a way to Cancel the line or change any of the quantities -- Sales Qty, Delivered Qty or Invoiced Qty? When we tried to manually close Order Line 1,

Hello,  Has anyone used position roles for purchase requisition authorizations?I have set up purchase requisition authorization using positions and when I try to authorize from the left side I get the following message.“The authorization limit on the last step in the routing template is less than the purchase requistion amount”the PREQ amount is 709606.04the last authorizer in my template has an authoriation amount of 99999999999999.00But I can approve the same step, if I select the purchase requistion line from the right sideI have to authorize/acknowledge each purchase requistion line in the right side of the window. 

Is there a way to not allow the person who created the Purchase Order(Buyer) to receive in the Purchase Order?

Is there a way to exclude actual demand in a specific period in future forecasts to account for outlying events (ie natural disaster impacts two-month window but has no long-term impact)?  Disclosure, I’m new to the application so I admittedly do not know all the tools and best practices. Thanks in advance for any help.

Dear experts, When we are done with the purchase order change order, we can not change the invoicing supplier of the first line of purchase order charges. However, we were able to change the invoicing supplier of the 2nd line. Do we have any basic data set up to enable the change of invoicing supplier after creating purchase order change orders?
