Is there any quicker method to cancel/close Purchase Order Receipts which have been partially invoiced? i.e. PO Receipt for 10 units, Invoice matched for 8 units, 2 units remaining unmatched on receipt/GRNI  report. If the PO Receipt is not matched to an invoice , it is a simple RMB ‘Cancel Receipt’. However, once it is matched partially this option isn’t available and it becomes a more involved process. We currently use the ‘Register Inspection Results/Return for Rework’ - it closes the receipt and clears the GRNI balance, but it is a bit involved, i.e. not a quick right mouse click like the full cancellation.The only other options I’m aware of are:> Dummy zero value AP invoice>Close date on receipt - but this requires a manual voucher or the GRNI report/GL will not  balance. Just wanted to check if there is anything we’re missing to speed up the process of tidying up partially matched receipts/GRNI report/GL? 

Dear Sirs; I could not find any menu and RMB for a way to import Customer Schedule to MS. Regards;Yasuda

Hi, I’m hoping the IFS community can help us with a question regarding best practices when changing PO line dates as a result of feedback from a supplier. Below is the scenario: Today is 9/14/2021. We need parts from the supplier by 10/31/2021 based on MRP. This is before the supplier’s lead time of 90 days.Supplier confirms they can deliver parts  to us by 11/15/2021.We confirm the PO line with the Promise Date of 11/15/2021. The PO Line Wanted Delivery Date is still 10/31/2021 based on MRP but this is also the date that prints on the PO to the supplier.  The supplier can only deliver parts by 11/15/2021 as they promised. Should we also change the PO line Wanted Delivery Date to 11/15/2021 to match the supplier’s Promised Delivery Date? Thank you.

Hi Guys,  I have migrated a number of product structures - instead f going through and making them buildable 1 by 1, is there a way of doing this on mass ?

If a shop order scheduled to be completed after a customer order is due, MS generates a new shop order req. MRP logic would create an action proposal to move in the late order, not generate a new requisition. Why doesn’t MS logic work the same way? How do I get MS proposals to not generate double supply without planning strictly by MRP? These parts are forecasted and we still want forecast to generate reqs.  In this example, there is no forecast, but one open customer order. The shop order is scheduled 1 day late so MS generates an additional req. 

Hi, My customer want to attach some teachnical pdf file to B2B supplier via “Request for Order Quotation”.I just tried with IFS APP10 UPD10, seems doesn’t work:1. create “Request for Order Quotation”, then  attached “test1.txt” on header ,  “test2.txt” on line.(refer to pic-1)2.  In B2B supplier portal, I do see the RFQ ,  but CANNOT see the attachement.(refer to pic-2)I use RACE and already assigned the IFS_FULL permission to both user.※Beside, I also uploaded attachments from Supplier side,  then IFS APPS side DO see the attachment.Does any one have idea on this?                                                                                     pic-1 (APP10)pic -2 (B2B Supplier)

We are not a manufacturing organization, but a Project based service organization. We are looking forward to follow a ‘Procurement Plan’ in IFS to align with Project Demands.  I heard that there are things like DDMRP in App10, but not sure how to implement it since we don’t have a manufacturing component. Can someone give me insight into that functionalities in IFS that would fit for us well? Would like to keep it simple too to start with. A test plan with IFS window names would be ideal.Would love to hear from both IFS Consultants and Industry experts like IFS customers. 

One of our customer has a custom menu in a way that If a person right-clicks on that ,it changes the planned delivery date of all the PO lines and replace all those dates with the date of the line on which user did right-clickNow the issue here is that there are multiple dates in the system that are connected to this planned delivery date which should also get changed .So need to clarify the logic that changes all kinds of dates in PO Line and in Inventory Part Availability Planning Screens.

Hi all,Please  I will appreciate if someone can show me where to find the forecast quantity in Inventory module or IPR. This is to enable us track actual inventory consumed against forecasted quantity. Also to help generate Replenishment at Re-order point. Thanks  Julius

Per the organizational standards, I need to automate the SA number generation to the next one in the sequence of XB0000767 and there onwards +1 automatically every time someone creates an agreement. I can manually do this in IFS. How do I set it up in IFS to fetch the number automatically?   

Hi all,We are looking to find the “recommended solution” or best way to do this on apps10 as im sure someone would have come across this problem.The issue is linking shipment ID’s or Customer orders to Freight purchase orders so we can track PO spending on freight companies against what the customer gets charged etc etc.For example; 1 customer order is converted into a shipment and then a PO is later manually raised which contains the freight cost depending on the company being used but there is no link between the Freight purchase order and the original order/shipment. Shipments can contain multiple customer orders for the SAME customer.Freight Purchase orders can contain multiple lines for different customers & orders.Customer orders can contain multiple freight line charges depending on order size.One PO line can have multiple shipment ID’s but only be for the same customer. Current thinking is to have a cu

1)    Is there an ability / process to setup parts and part characteristics in Demand Planning Client for thousands of parts at once vs. setting up each part individually?2)    Is there an ability / process to import external data in demand planning client to create a basis for running demand planning simulations / plans?

  We are trying to return stock to a supplier that was received in error against the wrong supplier. The process I was shown by IFS during our initial training was to register an inspection, then return. This process works for normal orders, however, it doesn’t work for returning direct deliveries.   I have tried using an RMA, but this just returns the stock against the customer order into a local warehouse, not back to the supplier. It does not do anything with the Purchase Order.   What is the correct process to use in this situation?  

Hello,On a direct delivery from supplier to customer, we would like to make a return in two steps :First step : We return part from customer to our site.Second step : We return part from site to supplier.We have seen that first step can be done easely on a RMA, but we don’t found how to do second step. Do you have an idea of how to manage this?Regards

We are currently running Apps 9.  We are ordering inventory items in our accounting currency (USD) as well as our parallel currency (PEN).  For items that are order in the parallel currency (PEN), the inventory receipt (posting type M10), creates the transaction in USD, but the clearing via Invoice is done in PEN.  This clears out the GL, however causes issues with we do our currency revaluation since IFS shows a balance in both USD and PEN and doesn’t clear for the currency revaluation purposes.  Does anyone know how to get the M10 transaction to post in the currency of the PO?  I tried adding a posting control for M10, for currency, using the Currency of the Purchase Order but this keeps returning errors saying that the currency is not defined.  I’m not sure where the Currency of the Purchase Order comes from.  I assumed the header.  I cannot prepost that code part on the PO (the option is grayed out).  Any ideas?
