Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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.

Have you ever experienced any situation where  it is  possible for the system to filter the print options based on the status of the PO?Is there an option we can use to adjust applicable print options according to the PO status.?For example cancelled POs only have the “Print Order Work Copy” command as the print option.But in the order reports when user enter the cancelled PO number it shows all the print options.User tries to print the “Order Changes” report.Option to print 'Order Changes' is available for a PO with no POCOsWhen user selects a non applicable print type there is no output. Just wanted to check if there is any option available or experience to share.

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

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?
