Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hello, We are presently running IFS Application 10 Update 8 we have the touch app server configured and accessible.  We can successfully run the Aurena Scan IT 10 app and Aurena Notify Me 10 app.  We are properly receiving notifications on the Aurena Notify Me 10 application but we find purchase requisition line authorization behavior strange.   Let me explain.  We’ve been using purchase requisitions for years and we currently approve the requisition lines within  IFS Enterprise Explorer but we now have many more of our authorizers remote or traveling so we thought we would start testing IFS Aurena Notify Me 10 on Android and IOS phones. When the users receive a purchase requisition authorization notification they see the entry in the app on their phone with the authorize / reject buttons.  If they click on the notification to view the details they see in the body of the message all the lines on the purchase requisition.  They go back to the

Hello! I need to test authorization in the P2p workflow. All request order I create pass through autorization. I notice that the authorization required is never checked. Could someone help me to get this “authorization request” checked? See an example attached. Thank you in advance.

Hi Guys, Quantity changes when we GRN a PO. Purchase order is raised with qty 1 but when we GRN it, even with qty 1, it changes to 500 post it in GL. It happens with only 1 line item at the PO rest is fine and this has happened number of times this year. We can reverse it with a JNL but how should this be fixed permanently? Kind regards, Sohail

Dear Sirs; I would like to request to the customer to delivery the customer owned stock to us by issue a purchase order. The following message appeared as leasing the purchase order then the order items was changed to company owned.Please advise to solve the issue.  Regards;Yasuda

IFS Community, Can anyone please point me to the direction of where we can update IFS to prevent the warning “Wanted Receipt Date xxxx-xx-xx is not a Working Day” We have both a WEEKDAY and WEEKEND day type, which we thought would prevent this error, but am still receiving the warning, each time our scheduled database task runs throughout the day & weekend.  What step are we missing to prevent this error?   

We have two scenario’s where we cannot ‘issue’ a material line on work order.  The WO Task and the Material status are both released and if I create a new Material order for the same item, task and site, I can release and issue the newly created Material order.  

Hi,Is there any way we can connect the purchase charges to cost sources??[n.b.: please suggest for apps-9]Regards-Nahin

Why does IFS make a request for an Agreement instead of a request for order when you perform this action from the Project quotation list? Is this something you can setup?I would like to make a request for order quotation instead of an agreement quotation for a part.

Hi, since my customer is Assembly-to-order,their Master Schedule end-item is NOT finished-goods, but Unit(Component). For some common components, it does belong to diffent blow-through parts. But when I tried,  seems IFS do NOT allow one end-item  belong to multiple blow-through-parts.(the “Part-C” in the attached picture)Is there any workaround for it?      

 We need to setup discount for entire purchase order in IFS. But it is not possible to provide discount amount for entire PO.  Note that discount is not specified to an item. It is due to reaching the certain amount of order amount.    How can we achieve it?  

We have just upgraded to App10 and just started testing Demand Server. One test instance has already been installed on one of our servers.Now the users would like to install another one to a different database/instance. The server name is already used as ‘Forecast Server’ for the first instance and port 5010 is also taken.  So can the second Demand be installed on the same machine?ThanksWen

Hello Community need help again, I am running Apps 10 (sandbox). Demand planning server is connected to Demand client, I have set of parts in Flow, but I don't see any historical data (demand) for the selected part in client. My Aggregation type only allows me to delete forecast data.     

Does anyone know if the ‘feature’ in Apps9 on the Master Schedule Set is a bug, where the following happens. MS Set 1: Master Schedule Level 1 supplies are Fixed within the Planning Time Fence. The MS Process does not change Fixed receipts. All other MS Sets: Master Schedule supplies are removed whether Fixed or Proposed, and supply is then generated outside PTF? This functionality makes the Master Schedule for anything other than set 1 unusable.This behaviour is also not present in Apps10. Is this a bug with a fix, or an intended feature of Apps9?    

Kindly let me know, how we can get the RMA stopped at Received Status  

We are creating a material order on Work Order and the quantity on hand isn’t enough to fulfill the order.  We issue the quantity available but the remaining quantity doesn’t show in the Shortage column.  Also, should a new material line get created automatically for the remaining amount? 

We are trying to get Safety Lead time (on inventory part/planning tab) and Expected Lead time (on Inventory Part/Acquisition tab) to work based on workdays (based on a defined calendar) and not on calendar days.  Is there somewhere that I can do this?

Hello I raised this question on the below thread, but didn’t get a response.  So posting as a fresh post, hoping the community heroes and industry leaders can add their ideas.  Can someone clarify what should I do to get data here? Tried with different Promised delivery vs actual delivery days. But no use :(  I am trying to build up a Supplier performance evaluation matrix and would love to hear how everyone’s doing it in IFS. By the way we don’t use MRP, but if you’d like to include it in your suggestion, that’s fine. We might want to start using it. 

How can we phase our  a part number in IFS, but also be able to consume existing inventory?We do not want to create purchase reqs, but we still have inventory that we need to consume. Running Apps 9, UPD17

We all aware that we can use “inventory locations” window or “Warehouse navigator” window in IFS to create inventory locations manually.  But in the practical context, where there is a requirement to initially create a warehouse in the application with thousands or millions of inventory locations, how this can be done as a bulk?Many Thanks,-Lahiru- 

When using the Assortments functionality, it is successful in copying parts to multiple sites. This includes Sales Parts, Inventory parts, and Purchase Parts. However it does not copy over Supplier for Purchase Parts. Does anyone know why that is?

Hi,Does anyone know why the Projected is negative value but MRP does not suggest PR?  This is the forecast of the related FG part. Thanks.Best Regards,KS Eng

Hi,Can anyone tell me why the PO Tot Tax Amt/Curr is 0 even though there are Tax Amount at line items?Where is the setting for this?Thank you.Best Regards,KS Eng

Hi All,The Purchases through the IFS Material Requisition Planning (MRP) module was not approved. The Schedule of Authority (SoA) required authorization of all purchases.Essentially any requisitions raised through the MRP system which is above £5,000 need to have a dual signatory process put in place in line with the SoA. If we are not able to execute this through the requisition rules, then we require a workaround within IFS that will allow the approval process to take place. Since this kind of scenario is on hold now cause of no idea. Please have a look at the screenshot as follows below. Kindly help me in this regard. Kind RegardsSekhar
