Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Would like to be able to search for parts on description like a Google-like interface. Should bring-up closest matches and prioritize, etc. Jeff Kessler said we should do this. 

We have a part showing up in the Inventory Part Availablity Planning screen that no long has open demand on the order.  The order line has been delivered of all quanties already.  How do we get our planning screen to reflect that this order has no demand?

Is there a way to change the views in the Demand Plan Client?  I understand I can select ‘View’ and make selections that way.  However, even if ‘Query’ is selected, that information is not displaying on the screen.  Additionally, is there a manual for utilizing the DP Client?

I would like to know the rationale behind not enabling creation of purchase orders for One-time suppliers in IFS.We want to procure either product or service as a “one-off” with no expectations of using that supplier again. The objective would be to benefit from the control offered by use of a PO (with physical products “receipted” to the warehouse), but without all the Supplier record data housekeeping effort. Is there any way this can be done in IFS?TIA

In Apps 10, how do you move work order to finished status with a canceled purchase order connected to the work order?  The Requisition tab remains in Released status.  Need to close this in order to move the work order to finished status.

I have noticed that, time to time we share demand planner related various documentation in the community and thought to share all the Demand planner materials with me in a one topic such that, it is easy for someone to refer and  understand concept, installation, configuration and functional guidelines specially for anyone who new for this functionality.

When creating a company based  on an existing company. Is it possible to choose which data is to be copied? otherwise what are the data which are copied by default? 

HI Team, Does anyone know how to segregate the purchasing type in PO within order code 1.We have a requirement where client is looking to exclude service Po’s from PO approval process because they are not aware of the Service price when the PO is created (PO’s raised with Zero price).So we need to exclude those PO’s from PO approval process. is there any way that we can segregate such PO’s and exclude service PO’s from PO approval process. Here PO approval process is done in different application via using integration not in IFS.there is an option - Purchase code which give the information about purchase type , but there is a risk user can create PO belongs to different Purchase type with purchase code-Service and zero price and exclude those PO’s from approval process.  Can anyone please suggest me how to exclude service PO’s from PO approval.

HiBit of a strange one for you all. Our procurement team are able to create change orders in one of our companies and amend descriptions on the lines etc, but cannot do it in our other company, they get an error saying it needs to be in planned status, so they change it to planned and then get an error saying Description cannot be changed when status is not Released or Confirmed, yet it works fine in the other company. I have checked the base data but cannot find anything relating to change orders, and I don’t think its permission related if they can do it in the other company.Does anyone have any ideas?ThanksHayley

Community, We are going to utilize the IFS standard functionality “Purchase Order Delivery Reminder” to fire purchase order delivery reminders supplier based email to suppliers (RMB functionality) when new objects are created in this window.  To automate this process, I think we better create a custom event. We are not quite familiar with Custom Event. Any help I could get from here? any document we could use?   Thank you all.

Community, Our purchasing department is seeking a notification for our buyers if the PO is “confirmed” and the 10 days before the “Planned Arrival Date” , a notification will send to the buyers so that we can follow-up on tracking information. I am thinking of below 2 options, quick report. i might be able to create the quick report, but how to schedule the report and send it buyers, this is not what I am quite familiar with. custom event. and then event action. tentatively, i should be working, but I am not that familiar with it. your thoughts? Thank you.
