How would IFS enable entering free text to be printed on a document? For example:Print a goods received label for incoming materials and in the print dialog you want to add a text like “Handle with care”

Hi, Need some help on purchase requisition authorization for express order (order code 5).I do not find how to limit the total amount for users who are using this order code. Let me explain : From 0 to 500€ : they can place PR/PO with order code 5 with no authorization >500€ : the express order is not allowed and must no be used. So they have to place normal PR/POThanks 

We are running IFS Apps10 UPD6 (just received UPD8 to install to our DEV).  We have (and use) the freight interface.  We are about to implement a new integrated freight system.  I’m looking for the most current copy of the Freight Interface document.  The version I have is a few years old. Does anyone know where I could get a current copy?

We have a No Part PO line that was received in the wrong period - Finance wants us to change the receipt date from 8/31 to 9/01 - normally we would unreceive and receive again under new date however it doesn’t appear you can unreceive no part PO lines - any suggestions

Hi Team, I have raised a PO against a Supplier who belongs to Switzerland i.e. in currency CHF.The Purchase Charge Types that will be added once we receive the goods are represented in currency INR.So, when I am adding the required Charge Type under Charges tab, I am not getting the correct Total Gross incl Chrg/Curr amountex:I have added a Part Order Line which results in Total Net Amt/Curr as 50 CHF.I have added below charges types in Charges Tab:Custom Duty- Rs 100Freight Charges-Rs 500& Custom Clearance- Rs 200Now I am getting the Total Gross incl Chrg/Curr amount as 850 which is incorrect.The Charges should be converted to CHF before adding into Total Net Amt/Curr. Request you to please help me in this.Thanks in Advance. Best Regards,Rakesh   

Dear all , When performing the Register Arrival , we came across with below error . Could you kindly assist me on this please . 

Hi,We have an inter site setup in IFS, the setup is:Site US05 is the customer and site US02 is the supplier. Both site are under the same company H2O USA. The system manages the whole order flow correctly the only problem is when invoicing the internal customer. After delivering the products, the order’s status automatically changes to Invoiced/Closed though no invoice is generated.Any idea of what can cause this ? This is not the first time we’re using the inter site function, though we never used it within the same company. Thanks  

Please take a look at the following picture.Date format YYYY/MM/DD is better, time part is NOT necessary.How can I control the format change?   Regards;Susumu

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? NOTE: we’re on Apps9

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 Our IFS expert is off and I need some help please :-) I’ve created 2 new Flow ID’s in IFS  - what’s the process for getting them into Demand Planner - is it too schedule a job “writeback to database” and then refresh DP?

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 custom field on purchase order no part tab for customer order no whereby ea

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?
