Hi all, I am new to IFS9 and was wondering after I exported excel files to do data analysis and would love to import those data back in IFS to have a update parameters like safety stock etc. Can I even do that? Because it is painful to input those data one by one.  Cheers,Lawrence 

Hello. When using Component Customer order on a External Services (type 6) we have the case whereby we delivered the part from inventory on the  customer order and it moved to invoiced/closed as the line item was 0.00.  When i attempt to undo the delivery of the Customer Order we receive an error “Cannot undo customer order delivery for component where the item is not charged.” What is the method to undo the delivery to get the part back into inventory when this happens? Many thanks, David. 

FMCNA / NxStage has recently began using the "Shipment" application to combine Distribution Order lines and ship goods from one IFS Company to another in the same Application Data Base. When we tried to use the “Create Shipment Invoices”, we received the following error message, “Prepayment based debit invoice line information cannot be modified except for the tax liability date. ORA-20110: CustomerOrderInvItem.PREPAYDEBNOUPDATE”I have been unable to locate a setting that would cause this issue and was hoping someone could explain the error message in an attempt to point us to the issue. Thanks, Steve Mac

When Suppliers are charging different prices in different times, how can multiple costs be maintained for the same part in the system. Can somebody help with detailed explanation of maintaining variable part costs in the system. 

When there are no information in the Supply Chain Matrix window for a supplier does the system consider the purchase lead times mentioned in the Inventory Part-->Acquisition tab when purchase orders are created? Or is it always the supply chain matrix?Apps 10 / UPD 11

We have customer order lines that are Purchase Order Direct and when tied to a PO, sometimes the ship via and delivery terms show correctly on the PO lines and sometimes they don’t. Our users then have to manually update each line. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you solved the issue? We are on Apps10 UPD8.

Hello!I am seeing the below message in our TEST box when trying to do inter-site orders. I cannot figure out how to translate the error messages into something meaningful. Does anyone have any tips on how to figure out what they mean?  

Hi all,I have an issue with a requisition to order for a purchase requisition. I’m receiving an error for no revision found for inventory part ‘******’ . An eng revision was added against the inventory part, yet still receiving an error. Does a new req need to be created or what could the cause be? I checked the API that relates to this error message and it checks for an eng revision using wanted receipt date (which the req has), part no and contract.Any ideas of what could be causing the error?Thanks,Robert

Dear community. I have run MRP and Order Proposal and for all the requisitions that have been created the price is 0.00. This is because we have the price on the General Tab of the Supplier for Purchase Part set to 0 as we maintain condition code pricing, which is populated and correct. Is there something that needs to be set or anything to enable this or could this be a bug (Apps9, UPD15). If I type over the supplier number in the purchase requisition screen the price is retrieved so there is no issue with the logic on the Purchase Requisition just something with MRP/Order Proposal?Any ideas?

I am looking to use Input UoM on a PO Line, similarly to how it is used on a Customer Order Line, however I cannot seem to be able to select an Input UoM on the PO Line. I have set up the Input UoM Group correctly and this is working on the Customer Order Line correctly. I noticed another thread stating that this could be selected during Register Arrivals, however there must be a way of selecting this on the Purchase Order Line. Can anyone help ? I can’t understand why this would work inconsistently on the two types of Orders.

Hi, Can anyone tell me how you can check/uncheck the “Inventory Part Demand Published’ checkbox on the Maintenance Plan of a PM action (APPS10)? The help file says it’s read only, but somewhere there must be a way to define whether it should be checked or unchecked for a certain Part/PM action, right? Best RegardsRoel

Hi,We have an inter site setup in IFS, the setup is:Site US05 is the customer and site US02 is the supplier. Both site are under the same company H2O USA. The system manages the whole order flow correctly the only problem is when invoicing the internal customer. After delivering the products, the order’s status automatically changes to Invoiced/Closed though no invoice is generated.Any idea of what can cause this ? This is not the first time we’re using the inter site function, though we never used it within the same company. Thanks
