Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hello, I have noticed an issue with Shop Orders that require an outside service. Often times we may choose to over run a shop order. So, an SO may start with an original Lot Size of 100, however we will run 150 parts. The issue with this practice is that the connected Purchase Order for the outside service does not increase to match the new lot size. I have reviewed the help section in IFS, but I do not see where or if the ability exists to ensure the PO increases with SO quantity. When this issue occurs, we are unable to receive all of the parts in from the supplier. We will then have to manually adjust the PO to match the qty, which causes significant administrative overhead. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I was able to create the shell of a work order for a branch ie General and CO Info tabs. As part of this, I also selected the Finish with Task selection like mentioned below.Then I was able to save the Work Order as a template (see attached document)But I can only get them to show up in My Administration\Template…for ‘my’ profile.I can’t see a way to share them so that they are available for everyone when you click the ‘New’ icons options.Anyone do any work with these types of templates before?

Hi, We cannot get any result in the Intrastat reporting. It is just empty.We have read this and think that we have set up the data correctly:https://ifsprod.alimakgroup.com:48080/ifsdoc/documentation/en/default.htm?openpage=https://ifsprod.alimakgroup.com:48080/ifsdoc/documentation/en/Invent/frmIntrastat.htm Is there any test we can simulate to know what the issue might be?If not, what would be the best support approach to get help? Support tickets are incredibly slow right now, we just need a person with experience of swedish intrastat setup to find our gaps and tell us what we need for it o work.  If this topic belongs in finance, please move it there.

Does IFS have a setting to articulate the order in which checks print?  When we print a payment batch, the physical check numbers are assigned in order of check amount.  We’re hoping to update a setting to instead be Supplier #.  Thanks! 

Hi, Community, Does anyone have experience with ABBYY?We are planning to build the interface ABBYY to IFS, in the future, all supplier invoices will be digitally input/output via this interface. I believe we should go with API.Need some help to understand how we can send and receive files in IFS.For example, in below items,a designated folder periodically pull data from IFS, ABBYY listen and retrieve the data? what kind of job should be created in IFS?  a FTP folder designed for ABBYY download the supplier invoice, and IFS pick up and read into IFS? security? Access?Your input is very much appreciated. Thank you. 

Hi,I have previously worked in SAP where POs could be directly outputted from the ERP PO Creation to the vendor’s email, using the vendor master’s populated email address.I love IFS thus far a month in to learning it.  I however am asking if IFS has the same functionality to output POs directly to the vendor’s email address, automatically populated from the populated supplier (vendor master) email address in IFS.The goal is for ease, reduce steps, and save time.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Dear community,I’d like to be able to create a purchase requisition for external services  from a Component Repair Order however the system appears to default to create an order. Is it possible to configure the system to change this behaviour? Reason being is i want to enable authorisation on the order which i cannot if it goes to a released PO from the CRO. David.

When do we remove GB as an EU member in ‘ISO Country Codes’?I guess this should be done on January 1, so that new invoices from this date will get the correct VAT decisions?But how does this influence the Intrastat reporting that will be done in the middle of January, for the month of December?If GB isn’t an EU-member when the intrastat is generated, I suppose that transactions with GB will be exluded. Do I ‘re-instate’ GB as an EU-member while running the Intrastat for December and then Brexit them again? In reference to the webinar regarding Brexit

Hello, I am investigating the S&OP module of IFS and noticed something unusual, though it might come from me misunderstanding the data.Our Business runs mainly on a MTO methodology. So when I Setup a Product Family and create a S&OP Period and run the Calculations I end up seeing negative Backlog numbers which seems rather odd since all our Shop Orders are pegged to the Customer Orders. When run for the whole 2021-06 Period i get Negative numbers in the “New Backlog Plan” and “Actual Backlog” columns. The Period calculates with a 18 month Forward planning horizon. and 0 Days for Target Backlog .Can someone help clarify if this is working as intended? Looking forward to some Help.

Customer have Shipment creation at "Pick List Creation". When Transit Purchase Orders are received the customer order line is automatically reserved - but the picklist is not created, causing the transit line not to be added to the Shipment automatically.  The picklist now needs to be created manually to add the lines to Shipment, is a an event needed to get this done automatically ?  (OrderType + ShipmentType should run through this)Example: Customer order with 2 lines, one "Invent Order" and one "Purch Order Trans". When ""Invent" line is reserved it is automaticly creating picklist and Shipment (due to Ordertype). When the "Transit" line is received into inventory it is only reserved, but the picklist is not created, causing the line not to be added to Shipment.

Hi, is there a way to spread the purchase reqs that MRP creates, without splitting the shop order? Assume we have a big shop orders, of several months. We create repetive, 200.000PCS for example. All the same, one operation. One piece after the other.MRP will create a pur req to buy it all before the SO starts. But we would like to spread this out, a pur req for each 2 weeks for example, as we consume the components on a constant rate. Is this possible?
