Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

  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?

Hi Is it possible to reverse or cancel if you have already received the quantities from an RMA?We did the ‘Receive parts’ in the RMA line, but afterwards saw that the quantity in the RMA was wrong, so we have returned back too much in the inventory.Thank you.

We are adding material to a work order on the materials tab. If it exists in inventory we want the system to reserve it and create a transport task. If it does not we want it to create a purchase requisition and purchase order. Does MRP do all of this. If so what screen do I set up this functionality and rules? Thanks,

Setup a new User and associated them to a Supplier.  Once logged into the B2B Aurena portal I am wanting to see the Coordinate Work Lobby.  This user doesn’t have access like that of the Application Owner user.  I review this Lobby and it is categorized under IEE Lobby.  So when I try to grant Lobby access to the Permission group that this user is assigned it doesn’t appear.Help in understanding how to grant access to Lobbies and Navigation items.  It seems I have the Projections that seem to make sense assigned but still not showing up under my new user.Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Hi,  Our customer who is running APP10 UPD11 have recently installed DP Server and client. Below is the question received from customer. Any one have answer for below question: “” I have a couple of questions that I would like to better understand and to grasp the best approach on which Demand Planner tool should be used. I have installed the Demand Planner Client on my machine and have been able to connect to it and it seems to be working now. The desktop version of the Demand Planner is what I understand to be the “Native” version of the IFS Demand Planner Solution. There is also the Demand Planner in the IFS APPS10 IEE application which can be used as well and the same exist in Aurena. My question is this? Is there any difference between these 3 versions in functionality or anything technically that would not allow HF to use them interchangeably? I would greatly appreciate if you could assist me with these questions as I’ve not been able to identify it in any of the IFS documentatio

I’ve been coming across a very strange issue related to MRP in IFS Cloud. It seems I can’t get MRP to create Purchase Reqs.Below is my IP Planning DataI have also defined a supplier for purchase part:  In Availability I can see I have demand for this part from a shop order (MRP Make): I run the MRP for the site. It completes OK, no errors. This is how MRP Part Info looks like:And in the end there is no Purchase Req created:Is it possible that MRP is buggy in IFS Cloud? OR did I miss some setup?

Hello, We are presently running IFS Application 10 Update 8 we have the touch app server configured and accessible.  We can successfully run the Aurena Scan IT 10 app and Aurena Notify Me 10 app.  We are properly receiving notifications on the Aurena Notify Me 10 application but we find purchase requisition line authorization behavior strange.   Let me explain.  We’ve been using purchase requisitions for years and we currently approve the requisition lines within  IFS Enterprise Explorer but we now have many more of our authorizers remote or traveling so we thought we would start testing IFS Aurena Notify Me 10 on Android and IOS phones. When the users receive a purchase requisition authorization notification they see the entry in the app on their phone with the authorize / reject buttons.  If they click on the notification to view the details they see in the body of the message all the lines on the purchase requisition.  They go back to the top level of the notification and press auth
