Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

We are running Apps10 UPD10 - is there any way to clean up Purchase Orders in a way similar to the Cleanup of Customer Orders routine?

Hi, Out of the blue I started receiving the error message “The forecast date cannot be less than demand time fence.” when trying to Run MS - One Part.  My example, the Demand time Fence is 10 days, so the Demand Time Fence date is 7/16/2021.  I’ve re-reviewed many times with other eyeballs on it as well and I have no forecast dates that are inside of 7/16/2021.  Any thoughts? 

Our suppliers (or some of them) needs to have a forecast monthly. Right now we have a quick report with all purchase requisitions as the forecast, which we manually send to them. We wanted to use the supplier portal, but the cost is ridiculus for the licenses. So we cannot use that right now. How do you send forcasts automatically in IFS? Is there any built in function?  

Does anyone know what “the role” is called so I can ask our IT department to add this to my user so I can do changes in Purchase Parts?  I can do changes in Purchase Part but not Purchase PartS.

When we are creating a customer order through a sales quotation, created document text(RMB Option) will be reflected in the Customer order. But when we enter a document text to a customer order where the supply code is “Purchase order Dir”, those entered document text will not reflect in the Purchase requisition or the purchase order. Is there any way to transfer document text from one window to another window when those windows have an interconnection such as “Purch order Dir”, “Purch order Trans”?

One of the customers have an RMA with 100 different lines. They are not connected to a CO, but they want to return all of these lines to one inventory location under one Lot/Batch. When we select multiple RMA lines from RM lines tab and RMB > Receive Parts… we get the lines like below, So, users need to select the RMA line by the drop down for 100 times and need to enter the Qty to Return. This is taking a lot of time and inconvenient. Is there any easier way which they can return these 100 different RMA lines?Thank you :)

We have been using IFS Apps 8.0 version there have been no instance where the system will show the pop-up message that Manufacturer ID is mandatory though it is not a mandatory filed in IFS.Error message - Manufacturer doesn’t exist for so and so part for this supplier.The above error message comes while processing a PO from PR either directly or through RFQ (Order quotation) process.Manufacturer ID is associated for any Purchase part in Supplier for Purchase part screen and its not a mandatory field.Need more insights on this if there’s any internal setting at the Supplier/Site/Company/Purchase Part Basic data which is causing this issue.

Is there a way to create an RMA at the same time of the order confirmation for I can print the RMA and attached together.  I want to do that because I want to track my racks that I am giving to the customer just to transport the product and I want that those rack return but I want that they know that I am giving to them certain amount of rack and those have to return and don’t leave it there.  I create an RMA but always appear that it just could be create with a order delivered but I want to attached together in order confirmation or in the invoice.

Hello, Have any permission role for share saved search in IFS 10 .

Hello, I have setup a Payment method for a Supplier. According to the IFS Help, I can perform a RMB on the method and select Electronic Payment Addresses to enter the information in. However, when I attempt to do this, that option is greyed out. I have checked Permissions and I have full access to the screen. In the help, I do not see any additional prerequisites to add this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Hi, Can you explain to me what the following parameter is for , please“Minimum number of capable bins for a large” 

Hi IFS ExpertsI tried RMB from the PO header > Email Order. The supplier gets the email, but he got it from the account of one of my colleague’s emails - not mine. :( So I checked the below setup in IFS. ‘Supplier Contact’ in IFS has the right email address (anyway he got the email - no issues there)  PDF_REPORT_CREATED event is enabled The event action has the following setup  Setup IFS Connectivity has the following.   Can someone explain to me why does the email is sent from another email address than mine?CheersEnzo

Good Afternoon - Can anyone advise on the use of the Barcode functionality within the Part Handling area of IFS - We are keen to introduce a issued/received process within our various departments. Is there a user guide available for this process/purpose. Many thanks for your help.  

Hi, I hope someone can help me with the below expectation.Basic DataUser 1 has Max Authorization Limit for PR of £5000 PR Rule is set up for a Cost Code 1234 PR Rule has the Authorization Routing Option set to “Include Steps Based on Limits” Authorization Template has 3 steps: Step 1 - Group (all users have limit up to £5000; User 1 is part of this group too) Step 2 - 10’000 Step 3 - 999999 Transaction: the User 1 creates a Purchase Requisition with Pre Posting cost Code 1234 that’s less than £5000. Once released system currently pulls through the 1st step of the Authorization Rule.Expectation: There is no PR rule pulled through because the User 1 has enough Authorization Limit. Can anyone tell if the expectation should be different based on the set up and if so how to set up the data so that the User with Limit of £5000 doesn’t have to authorize the step 1?

We receive PO lines with serials in our daily business. Those PO lines have charges distributed by amount. But let’s say, we receive only 200 out of the 500 PO line quantity, the total charges get allocated to that lot of 200 only. The next lot of 300 has zero charges allocated. Hence the Unit value of the inventory is significantly less compared to the first receipt. Is there a way to overcome this in IFS?  

Can someone elaborate more about Price/Pricing rule in IFS Apps 8 or above, how does it functions for any Purchase part in P2P flow?Thanks, In advance!

Hi, Kindly we need to know who is the best IFS partner from an expert consultant can give us demo om MRP (Material Requirement Planning) and show us all its capabilities. Thank you and best regards,Bilal Drayi

We use the shop orders material planning (SOMP) screen to quickly identify shop order shortages.  We do not want consider material available until is has completed QA inspection and is approved for use.  We currently use the availability control ID field to identify when material is waiting for inspection, approved or rejected.  We are running into an issue where materials are received and awaiting QA inspection but the SMOP screen shows the material as available to use.  We want the material to show as on hand but not available which then triggers the SMOP to call it out as a shortage. We tried setting the awaiting QA inspection availability control id status to non-nettable but that caused MRP to drive additional purchases for the materials that were just received.  Is there an inventory status that can be used that recognizes the material as on hand but not available?  Or has anyone else run in to this issue and found another way to easily identify material shortages due to awaiting

When creating centralized po, the demand site on the po line is different than the header delivery address.  The problem we have is that as soon as the demand site changes the line delivery address changes to match the demand site.  For tax reasons, we need the line delivery address to match the header delivery address.  Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to accomplish this requirement?Thanks in advance

I apply a Manual Gross weight to a Handling Unit when it is produced / purchased. When I move the handling unit in stock to adifferent Inventory Location the Manual Gross Weight field is cleared. What can I do to ensure this data is held against the Handling unit until the unit has reached Delivered status on a shipment?  

Dear community. I would like to use the Purchase Authorisation Acknowledger Authorisation role to allow certain levels  of users to acknowledge a Purchase Req but with no financial limit. I may be mistaken but there appears to be very little documentation on how the Authorisation Role functionality works.  When i have tried i get an error indication there are not enough steps to authorise the PR, but i just want an acknowledgement.  Does anyone have any experience with this or any documentation ?

I can create persistent custom fields in Purchase Receipts History and make the field updateable. But I cannot enter any value in the Purchase Receipts History window. Why?

We are having issues posting multiple invoices to a single charge line.  What are others doing for this?  We have tried various ways up setting up the charge line but nothing seems to work efficiently.
