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.

We get this error message on some of our Self Billing Invoices

HI, for a specific client need we are exploring the possibility to directly create POs from MRP proposals : no manual conversion from PR to PO under a specific amount (let’s say less than 500€). Is there any way to do it ? 2nd option is to create PR at released status, planner still save time in low-amount needs processing.Thanks for your help and insights on both topics implementation possibilities.Best regards.Baptiste. 

We have done the setup Automate Purchase Requisitions and Orders including Intersite, where site A raises workorder and from there PR / PO goes to SITE B. There is a part X available in both the sites , on site A it is a purchase part and in site B the same part X will be as manufactured part. Ideally the flow will start from Site A raising Purchase requisitions and then using  order processing the pr gets converted to PO and then a customer order is getting created at site B , but the problem is we have to manually release those customer orders in order for shop orders to get generated. Is there a missing setup . I want these customer orders to be released automatically. 

Dear Experts ,when we have active in purchase order change orders , released status PO delivery date can not change without change orders . However , price and qty changes need to be have change orders . Therefore , we can not go for Change order optional option in Site level and supplier level ?   Do you have any views on this matter ?   

Hi all,I’m looking to perform a migration to the price list tab within Supplier for Purchase Part. This migration will include numerous parts/suppliers in the one migration.So, I would want to create a new line in the price list tab for numerous parts/suppliers in the one job - I have this setup via an excel_migration job. However, I receive a ‘no operation’ error as follows:All mandatory fields are defined (IFS docs say this is the reason for the error). Is this the best type of migration/even possible for this requirement? Or what type would be advisable.
