Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hello, Seeking help here. Does anyone know a way to track the Export licence connected exports and imports in the standard application. My aim is track what exports (customer order) made via a particular export licence. In the export license i have the shipped qty but not the breakdown for example customer order number would be ideal. I searched in customer order lines and purchase order lines but licence number is not available. Anyone who managed to sort this issue? Thanks, Chamath

Hello I am trying to Uncheck the “Use Predefined Pack Size” field to have my configuration but it’s not editable in this view. Path: Procurement > Receipt > Receipt > Details > Print > Print Barcode Labels

We are using IFS Applications 9 and encountering an issue with a shop order. All components have been backflushed and issued correctly, and the operation completion quantities are accurate. However, the finished products have not been received into inventory vtrbijn km. We performed tests in the test environment using the same part, and the order was able to be closed without any issues. What could be the potential causes of this discrepancy? Thanks in advance.

In IFS10 there is in inventory part planning data Time Phased Safety Stock. Can it be used without IRP module? I tried to set it up to purchase raw parts and run MRP, but there was no demand to fullfill the buffer.

In Apps9, one of our clients has a landed cost that should be 0.005980 + 0.000900 = .006880, however the Landed Cost field is showing as 0.01000. The Decimal Places are showing as 5, yet it seems this cost is being rounded up - over 200K items, this becomes a discrepancy of £624 which is 31.2% out and not acceptable to the client, as their Purchase Orders need to reflect the actual costs. Is anyone aware whether Landed Cost can be forced to display more accurately please?

Hi everyone, we want to use the supplier request to check if we already registered a supplier in our company in IFS Cloud (as a test for doublets in the onboarding process). Is there any possibility to dial the sensitivity down? E.g. when you’re looking for “AG” the system shows all suppliers that have “AG” in their company names?

Hi All, Looking for insights here. My customer face below situation when receiving stock with multiple deliveries. Purchase Order line is raised with 100 pcs. Supplier will deliver 60pcs in one delivery on lets say 08/11/2024 with a freight charge of 15GBP. Then on 15/11/2024 supplier promise to deliver the remaining 40pcs with freight cost of 10GBP as a separate delivery. Note that freight costs known when supplier deliver each shipment. How we can replicate this scenario in IFS as out of the box solution by absorbing the freight cost to the inventory value while tracking the supplier performance. I have tried below scenarios. Distribute the charges based on weight while enabling “Distribute on Receipt” - This works if one delivery per line. Receive using “Incoming dispatch advice” and add the charges when receiving the delivery at a time. This will correctly transfer the freight costs but how can I track the supplier performance I mean initial order quantity is 100pcs but they delive

How to have values for the Valid To and Valid From fields in the Purchase Order Charge lines?

Hi All, seeking suggestions here. I am having Pack of 100 (PACK100) as my Purchase UOM and Each as my Inventory UOM for my purchase part as supplier only send pack of 100 and I am breaking it down to each after receiving. When I raise a Purchase requisition requesting 150 for the part when converting it to a Purchase order Qty will update as 1.5 of packs. But ideally supplier would send 2 packs. Does IFS has any out of the box function to set a standard size in this kind of a scenario to pick automatically 2 since the supplier is provide packs of 100. Any help highly appreciated.

We are currently using IFS Apps 10. When MRP generates a Purchase Requisition for a demand (whether for a customer order or a shop order), we've noticed that the origin information is not included in the Purchase Requisition. According to our understanding, the "Ordered For" field in the Purchase Requisition should display the customer order number or shop order number as its origin. However, this field is consistently blank. Could you please advise if there is a setting or configuration that needs to be adjusted to ensure the origin details are added to the Purchase Requisition? Attached below is a screenshot of the Purchase Requisition triggered by MRP for a customer order for reference. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Hi All, On a non productive environment designed for testing specs : When I have entered all information necessary on a customer order header and want to save the edition, the following pop-up appears : “Document Adress xx is not valid _ check up validity period”. What strikes me is that all the elements below _ involving the document adress and everything else _ are the same between this non productive environment and the PROD environment that works correctly : Expiration date of the adress (none) Client Site Company I am completely lost as where to check to solve this issue: Do you guys have any idea where to dig ? Best regards,

Hello All, We noticed the following issue: when you have normal purchase order with certain characteristics (from the part catalog) send to a supplier it gets delivered and closed. If the characteristics are updated later on in the part catalog it has an effect on all the existing purchase orders, even the ones that are delivered/closed already. From a point of traceability and data integrity this is not desirable. How do other customers deal with this? Best Regards Carlo Koenders

Hi Team, I have created a inter-site flow and I’m able to replicate changes in external customer order to internal PO and from it to internal CO. My query is, assume I initiate a change in internal CO from order confirmation and It is replicated to internal PO from incoming order confirmation functionality. Yet when I approve the Delivery confirmation, it does not replicate to external CO. How I can extend replication of changes to external customer order as well ?

When creating a new purchase order authorization rule, i want a rule specific for a coordinator. So in the rule i set the option apply to all coordinators to false, then the Coordinator tab appears. I can’t select any coordinator, but there are active coordinators defined in application base setup/general data/coordinators? Any ideas?

We defined a couple of PERSISTENT custom fields on supplier info general. After the recent upgrade to IFS 24.1.2, we can no longer save any value on these fields (PERSISTENT custom fields). However, we realized when we try to insert/update on this fields, the LU reference pass to the views to validate the CUSTOM FIELDS is SupplierInfo and not SuppierInfoGeneral, where the CF have been created. Has anyone encountered this earlier, or do you see any walk-around for this issue?

We developed few configurations on top of the IFS Cloud 23R2. The main area for the development was in the screen 'Equipment Object Navigator' (EquipmentObject).In this screen we defined a couple of PERSISTENT custom fields which are to be used with the MWO . After the recent upgrade to IFS 24R1, we can no longer save any value on these fields (PERSISTENT custom fields). However, we realised that when a insert or update goes for these PERSISTENT fields all default calls run. But, more they will update/insert a value to the child entities (EquipmentFunctional or EquipmentSerial) Custom field (if present with the same name). Has anyone encountered this earlier or do you see any walk-around for this issue?

When I run an MRP the system generates Order Proposals for each item separately. Is it possible to combine these into one Purchase Order?

So we are running IFS Apps 10 Update 20 (Enterprise Explorer) and have installed Demand Client 6.0.3.7. We have a running Demand client server (SfdPrdWinAtlu01) and are connecting on Port Number 5010. We initially were getting an Invalid password or username error. After finding the User Demand Access screen in IFS and resetting password on our user, we were able to get past that error and now are getting this, which is less than helpful. I checked the C:\Program Files (x86)\IFS Applications\Demand Plan Client\Log Files\ folder, and unfortunately there’s nothing there. Has anyone else seen this error before or have any ideas?

Hi, Why in most of lots/Batches after update manufacturing date in screen lot/batch master and save it, after re-query it again the manufacturing date column is found as blank like nothing is saved. is there any reason for it? Thank you.

Is it possible to run a selective MRP based on Site and Supplier only?

If you are using Planning Method A with a safety stock, will MRP generate a suggested order quantity if available stock is below safety stock but there is no demand?

We are using IFS10 with update 3. We have created several KanBan circuits in our test environment and these are working as expected. However, we have some that are failing. We get this warning on the background job: Replenishment request failed to create a transport task for the kanban circuit (XXXX). Verify inventory exists to transport. We have checked all the setttings of the KanBan with one that does create the Transport task and they are identical. We have checked the location and the material in stock they are all available. I have tried manually to move the parts to and from the locations by manually creating transport tasks and executing them without any problems or errors. What can be the cause of the missing transport task?
