Procurement Planning in IFS

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.

Purchase Reqs not created by MRP? IFS Cloud

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?

Alternate part functionalities for purchasing and planning

Hi, I tried to find an answer on previous topics but i’m afraid my use case is not covered.I’d like to implement the below functionning in IFS :- If I have a need of 10 PCS for component A (customer order)- And if I already have 8 PCS of component B in stock.- I want a need of only 2 PCS of component A to be triggered by the system (purchase requisition).To do so i guess i need to set-up part B as alternate of part A. I tried to set-up alternate purchase part & alternate component functionalities but it does not seems to work, even when “Include in MRP netting” is set-up at alternate component level, and when “plan alternate component” is ticked for MRP performing.I guess I missed a piece of set-up.Thanks for your precious help.BR.Baptiste.Note : I’m on IFS cloud 21R1.

Document text for supplier on purchase order

Hi, For a few of our suppliers we need to add a document text on the Purchase Order. This information needs to be added every time. That is why we want it automatically shown on the Purchase Order when one of the few suppliers is selected.We have set a document text on the supplier, but don't know how to implement that field on the Purchase Order lay-out in Report Designer.We used this functionalityIn Report Designer I think this is the the field we need: But I cannot drag that field on the lay-out. I only get the invalid cursor as shown below.Has anyone dealt with this kind of problem before?

Intersite Order

Hello,We’ve had an issue a few times now where the original customer order for a part was canceled , but no and since it was not informed, so the product was still reserved and shipped. There is no IFS stop on it until they go to deliver the order on the ‘Register Direct Delivery’ page, that there is an error.Can we automate the process of when an order line gets cancelled  it also is cancelled on any connected purchase orders and customer orders? This process update would be specific to the intercompany orders between the two sites and the that sourcing option of primary supplier internal direct.

Hide Customers from List of Values

Is there a way to archive or close customers so that they do not appear on any list of values search? We are looking to use the Service Quotation functionality and when opening the list of values we a customer list of 1600. A number of these customers will no longer be active but I cannot see how to set a customer to expired or closed, so that they no longer appear on lists of values.

Service PO - 2way match

Other MRP systems use 2way matching for Services instead of 3way - so a receipt is not required for Service invoices to pay, just the requisitioner approves.  How do you set this up in IFS 10?  There should be a way to note services, and not require a receipt for it to be paid.

Intersite flow with partial delivery

Hi, We have a situation where we use the supply code ‘Int Pur Dir’ on a CO. We want the goods to go directly from our supplying site to the customer. Supplying site is a another internal customer.So order comes in at site A, PO gets created to site B, CO get created at site B, Site B can ship to customer directly and invoice goes via site A. Automatically via EDI.Everything works smoothly for the first shipment. It gets created automatically, we can ship. But we don’t want to ship the complete order at once from site B to costumer. Let’s say the order is for 100 PCS, and we want to ship 10 at a time.We ship the first 10 from site B, everything goes perfect. But if we want to create a new shipment, the available pcs don’t get shown in the shipment tab ‘Available order lines’. It’s just empty. We tested this in a different enviroment and it worked, but for some reason now it doesn’t. Does anyone know which settings are important to check in this case? Best regards

Field INTRASTAT_EXEMPT is mandatory for PO and requires a value

We applied 3 patches to our Apps 10 UPD 10 environments last weekend that should not have impacted creating Purchase Orders, but we are now receiving the error message ‘FIELD INTRASTAT EXEMPT IS MANDATORY AND REQUIRES A VALUE’  when we try to save a PO for several US Suppliers (so Intrastat Exempt should not even come in to play. )  Just to see if checking that checkbox would fix it, I tried but still received the error.  Tried with several other Suppliers/PO and about have received the message when trying to save the PO and half were allowed to save the PO successfully. I can not see any differences in the set up of the Suppliers  that worked and the suppliers for whom I received the error when saving a PO.  Anyone else seeing this? Is this a bug? Thanks

Payment Advice emails not going out

Hey all,We are having the issue described here:https://community.ifs.com/buying-procurement-demand-planner-asc-srm-41/apps9-payment-advice-failing-on-occasion-when-emailing-to-supplier-13312but that forum appears to be a bit lower on volume -- no response. While it deals with APPS9, we are seeing the issue in APPS10.The bottom line is that automated emailing of Payment Advice stopped working, out of the blue. It had been working since the start of the year for progressively more Suppliers each month as we entered email addresses and configured Suppliers to receive the payment advice emails.We are not using a Custom Event. We have been using native IFS functionality that runs through IFS Connect’s emailer.. One of our devs has figured out how to make things work with a Custom Event/Action, but we'd rather not have to add a configuration when native IFS functionality should do the job (and has been working for several months).Does anyone have advice on how to overcome the "Mail Address '

Supplier Statistical Group

There is field Supp Stat Grp on Supplier, Purchase tab, General tab. It can be used as control type for M10, M18 posting types. I wonder how it iis used in multi-company installations ? For example Polish supplier in Poland would be domestic while in Sweden it will be EU supplier. Unfortunately the data on Purchase tab is not dependant on company so it is global for all companies. How global IFS customers are dealing with it ?
