Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

In IFS10 there is in inventory part planning data Time Phased Safety Stock. Can it be used without IRP module? I tried to set it up to purchase raw parts and run MRP,  but there was no demand to fullfill the buffer.

Due to tariffs increases and surcharges, we are running into an issue of not quoting correct pricing. Today our pulls from cost set 5, which is what is on our supplier for purchase part, this currently re-calculates once a week. Our issue is that we are beginning to quote out to Q4 and we know we have pricing increases coming and would like to capture theses costs for quoting purposes but not skew current pricing that is being used.  We are currently in IFS 10 app 19. 

When a user attempts to update the expiry date in a service contract, the "Valid To" date is usually updated automatically in the PM settings. However, for certain contracts, this update does not occur, leading to the following notification.

Does anyone know if there is a mechanism for deleting multiple Supplier for Purchase Part Price List entries rather than having to go into each SFPP record and deleting one by one?  

Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to have an RMA show up in the Master Schedule as it is a type of supply which can influence the supply for the MS leading into actions.

How are users handling tariffs in IFS, both from an internal cost and external pricing standpoint?  For pricing, can prices be adjusted by Country of Origin?  (If so, how do we get the Country of Origin field to populate in Sales Part screen?For cost, is “landed cost” the best way to track it?Thanks all.  

Purchase order No par lines In IFS Cloud, is there any way to hide the the attached documents in the form of No Part lines ? The firs content is the Line No wheareas I expected the Attached document sign  Thanks 

We have raw materials that are used for multiple customers. When we qualify a new supplier our customers have to approve those suppliers which can take 3-6 months. Is there standard functionality that can prevent a raw material item from being used for a specific finished good item but allow it to continue being used for a different finished good? All our finished goods are unique custom part numbers. Example:Raw material part # 123 is used in end customer items #456 & #789. I am qualifying a new supplier for part #123. The customer for #456 has approved the supplier but the customer for #789 has not.  I realize I can have all that raw material from the new supplier come into inspect and have availability controls but I am trying to avoid having to manually release it every time for the customer who has approved it or creating new part numbers. I just want the system to not allow us to consume it for item #789.

I need help to setup (ITS) INET_TRANS to create incoming Customer Orders. Where can I find a sample XML file? How do I know what fields are required? Our customers are wanting to us their orders electronically. Your assistance is appreciated. We on IFSAPPS10 IEE version. Thank you,

Hi Team,The Package Part functionality is currently limited to sales. However, in the inter-company transaction flow, there's a requirement to receive the parts at the demanding site as a Package Part through the inbound logistics process, rather than as individual componentsHas anyone been able to handle this within the core functionality? 

We are in the process of adding country of origin data against the supplier for purchase part records however some of our suppliers, typically distributors, could supply the same part from multiple origins which they wouldn’t know until the point of dispatch.  If we were to populate the SFPP record with the most likely country of origin, is there any scope in IFS to be able to register the country of origin at goods receipt, should it differ to what has been listed on the SFPP record?  

Hi All,I’m working to better understand the fields and impact of the Supplier - “Contacts” & “Communication Methods” Question 1: What does the Communication Methods and Contacts help once set up… the only thing I can think of is:“Supplier Contact” field under the Tab “Purchase Address Info” which drive Emailing the Purchase Order, and Potentially the SRM Module if used.  Question 2: What is the benefit of populating the following fields: Communication Method:Default per Method Default per Method and AddressContacts:Address Primary Address Secondary Supplier Primary Supplier SecondaryThank you,Alex

Hi Experts,Can somebody throw light on warehouse access management in IFS cloud. Any Reference document would greatly help. RegardsLokesh

Community, We are on APP10, but we are still not sure whether IFS can handle Cross Docking. Can anyone shed some light on it? Thank you.

Hi Everyone,For example, a purchase request line was created and approved from 100 X products. It is desired to create a purchase order for 70 of these from supplier A and 30 from supplier B. Is there a standard solution for this?As far as I know, the request line should also be created as two lines, 70 pieces and 30 pieces. After the request is approved, can we divide it into two lines quantitatively? there must be a solution other than a supplier split

Is there a way to have the release numbers sort numerically ?  Example If you have line 1 release 1 and you get to line 1 release 10  on the table view line 1 and 10 will appear next to each other because of the leading 1. I looked in the page designer and didn’t see anything that might help. Thanks in advance 

Do Supplier Schedule types Plan and Calloff fundamentally and technically behave differently or is it the same functionality offered that can be used differently?

When entering a Purchase Lead Time on Inventory Parts (Apps10 and Cloud) we are finding the dates presented confusing. For amendments to the Purchasing Lead Time, whether made in the field below or made on the SFPP Manufacturing Lead Time and then calculated by Calculate Purchase Lead Time, the dates we are getting are as follows ;0 days - 31/03/251 day - 01/04/25 (Tuesday)2 days - 01/04/253 days - 01/04/25 - shown below4 days - 02/04/25The Site Calendar is a 5 day working week calendar and the Primary Supplier also has a 5 day working week calendar, the same as the Site calendar.This pattern is repeated the following week, with the same day (again a Tuesday) being presented for three different lead time days (8, 9,and 10 days).Can someone explain this? How can zero lead time have a supply date of 31/03/25 and a 3 day lead time have a supply date of only one day later? There are no other lead-times in supply chain  matrices.   Thanks. 

we have a purchase aggrement. I can use “Create aggrement release” screen to create a released PO. But if someone create a Purchase requsition, how can purchasing department can link and use that aggrement ?

HI TeamPlease advise how following highlight values are fetched to incoming purchase price catalog.Company  Part No Further are there another location than Supplier master record to fetch ‘Supplier’s own addr ID’ ( Supplier > Address ) and ‘Supplier’s own ID’ ( Supplier > General )

Community,have you encountered the issues that the PR line does have price on it , and it is released, and authorized, but PR line does not have supplier ID associated? is it a bug?We are on APP10 UPD9. We only notice this happened when the PR is initiated from a project. Thank you.

 Hi AllAs tried in IFS 24.1.1; From the PO lines screen, I made the Requisitioner and the Requisition no mandatory via checking the ‘required’ checkbox and then published.      The goal was to prevent users from creating PO lines without a Purchase Requisition / Requisitioner.After publishing, I tried to save a PO line. It gets saved without the 2 mandatory fields that I set    Can you advise what I am doing wrong here?Thanks,Asela 

When using PO changes orders, in Apps 10, we are noticing that date changes require the use of a change order.We would like to use PO change orders to trigger authorizations - as such we only want to use PO changes orders when the quantity or price changes. Is there a way to setup the system to mandate this type of use case? mandatory use of PO change orders - means date changes have to be made via change orders optional use of PO changes orders - means quantity and price can be changed on the PO without a change order.  

A customer will work with Supplier Agreements. With one of their suppliers, the price depends on the total order quantity per purchase order and the number of different item numbers in the purchase order.For example: MOQ = 5 pcs. The combination can be 2 x Item A, 2 x Item B, and 1 x Item C. Since there are three different items, the price for each item will be €500.This means a many-to-many relationship. Multiple combinations of items can determine the MOQ (minimum order quantity), and the associated price depends on the number of different items in the purchase order.Can we configure this scenario in the IFS standard? If yes, how? :) 

Hello,In one of the customer scenarios, when they perform automatic reservations for customer orders, small quantities of a given part number in the inventory are skipped, and the customer order is reserved from the location that holds the full required quantity.At the site-level automatic reservation, Priority 1 is set to the earliest receipt date, while Priority 2 is set to the earliest expiration date. When multiple lots with the same receipt date are available in the inventory, the system reserves quantities from the largest stock, leaving smaller quantities scattered across various locations. This occurs regardless of whether the parts are attached to the handling unit. This customer is not using put-away zones / ranking setup. Is there any way to optimize this behavior without put-away zones ? Thank you,Lumini.
