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

Hi Folks,I am working on a problem to modify delivery dates for all the PO lines that have same doc ID using below script- declareinfo_ varchar2(4000);n1 varchar2(4000);CURSOR c1 ISSELECT COUNT(ORDER_NO)  from PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ALL_CFVWHERE  CF$_ID_DOCUMENT = &CF$_ID_DOCUMENTAND ORDER_NO = &ORDER_NO;BEGINOPEN c1;     FETCH c1  INTO n1;CLOSE c1;    FOR l1 IN n1 LOOP   PLANNED_DELIVERY_DATE := &PLANNED_DELIVERY_DATE;   ifsapp.purchase_order_line_api.Modify__(info_, &OBJID, &OBJVERSION, PLANNED_DELIVERY_DATE, 'DO');   COMMIT;                                     END LOOP;end; now the only problem is that I get the error saying the ORA-06550: line 9, column 241:PLS-00456: item 'N1' is not a cursor. I need to know why am I getting this error this should not be an issue.I

Hello Community, Can you please help me understand how can I link the parts from parts master data to the new flow in demand Plan Server? Even though we don't have any historical data for that part I want to see part in flow.

we have install the demand server and client recently (APP9) and willing to use for or business. very simple SQL statement has been written as the master flow to check whether its working!Select contract, part_no, planned_date, planned_qty from IFSAPP.external_invent_part_issue_pub  where contract = 'ABC' and Customer_No ='99999'when I ran this above SQL it in our environment via SQL developer, it returns with 50 records in 6-7 seconds. but when I ran the “Qualify” job via the Server Dashboard, it takes 25,000 s ( almost  7 hours)- Strange! I would expect the qualify job will create the IFS forecast parts records with in the  similar time frame like SQL developer query. can not understand why this was taking hours??really appreciate anyone has any suggestions or thoughts?       

We have 3 remote warehouses, all different remote assortments for their parts Truck 1 - Remote Assortment 1Truck 2 - Remote Assortment 2Truck 3 - Remote Assortment 3We issue off parts from work orders to take parts off the TrucksWe want to replenish our trucks from 1 Main ‘non-remote’ warehouse, according the their remote assortments (refill point qty, and refill to qty). How can we  create transport tasks to take parts from the main warehouse to the remote warehouses?When I manually run ‘refill all putaway zones’, nothing happens. I believed it should have created these transport tasks.I’d like to do this manually or automatically. But must be missing something. My storage zones, Putaway Zone Basic Data, And Site is setup as such:

Can a purchase order that is cancelled be reopened?

Hello! do you know if there is a function or menu in which it is possible to see the past consumption split by month of an inventory part  and/or if somewhere it is displayed the average monthly consumption based on a selected period. In alternative, how to create a report  to calculate what I asked? I’m going  to work with IFS10. Thanks 

Hi all,Can anyone access the function body of ifsapp.purchase_order_line_part_api.Get_Greatest_Receipt_Date() and send the details to me? The function generates the earliest possible receipt date but I don’t know the logic so want to see the function body to understand it. Thanks a lot. 

We are currently using IFS Apps 9 UPD 13. We are looking to become more efficient in our handling of shortages. Upon receipt of a part, we receive a notification that a shortage exists for that part. We then go to the Resolve Shortages for Inventory Part and search for that part no. We can then add  a Qty to Reserve to the orders that shortages exist. Our question, is there a way to issue the part to the Order and print a shortage tag instead of simply reserving the part? I have created a custom report and custom menu to print a tag but it is still a manual process. Also, would then need to issue the part from another window. Does anyone have a more efficient workflow that they use for shortage handling? Is there improved functionality for shortage handling in IFS Cloud (that we will be soon upgrading to)?

Using the “Report Rule” we can set the P.O. filename in the Report Document Archive to something a bit “smart”, like “SUPno-PO-Pxxxxx ”.  Nice!   But what we’d also like to do for the benefit of our vendors, as we RMB - Send Order, is send them a “smartly” named file.  The IFS attached PDF default filename is  a concatenation of the Report Title and Result Key; which may as well be a random number.  Is there a way of defining the e-mail attached PDF’s filename?  Thanks! 

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a plan to introduce a functionality to auto match a licence for an order upon release?At the moment the user has to right mouse click on the CO line to find and connect a licence and then update the end user country and/or end usage. This is all very well if there is only a few CO lines but my customer can have up to 100 lines on an order all of which will have to be connected to a licence. Doing this manually is not an option so we are in the middle of creating something bespoke for them.I can’t imagine them being the only customer having that problem so maybe there is something in the pipeline I am not aware of? Or is there anyone out there who had the same problem and has already created something for their customer? ThanksMaria  

Hi  We’re running Apps 8 and have had an error message that we’ve never seen before: ‘A Supplier may not be specified as Owner when Purchasing is not installed’ Can anyone advise what this might be?
