Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Can a purchase order that is cancelled be reopened?

Hello! do you know if there is a function or menu in which it is possible to see the past consumption split by month of an inventory part  and/or if somewhere it is displayed the average monthly consumption based on a selected period. In alternative, how to create a report  to calculate what I asked? I’m going  to work with IFS10. Thanks 

Hi all,Can anyone access the function body of ifsapp.purchase_order_line_part_api.Get_Greatest_Receipt_Date() and send the details to me? The function generates the earliest possible receipt date but I don’t know the logic so want to see the function body to understand it. Thanks a lot. 

We are currently using IFS Apps 9 UPD 13. We are looking to become more efficient in our handling of shortages. Upon receipt of a part, we receive a notification that a shortage exists for that part. We then go to the Resolve Shortages for Inventory Part and search for that part no. We can then add  a Qty to Reserve to the orders that shortages exist. Our question, is there a way to issue the part to the Order and print a shortage tag instead of simply reserving the part? I have created a custom report and custom menu to print a tag but it is still a manual process. Also, would then need to issue the part from another window. Does anyone have a more efficient workflow that they use for shortage handling? Is there improved functionality for shortage handling in IFS Cloud (that we will be soon upgrading to)?

Using the “Report Rule” we can set the P.O. filename in the Report Document Archive to something a bit “smart”, like “SUPno-PO-Pxxxxx ”.  Nice!   But what we’d also like to do for the benefit of our vendors, as we RMB - Send Order, is send them a “smartly” named file.  The IFS attached PDF default filename is  a concatenation of the Report Title and Result Key; which may as well be a random number.  Is there a way of defining the e-mail attached PDF’s filename?  Thanks! 

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a plan to introduce a functionality to auto match a licence for an order upon release?At the moment the user has to right mouse click on the CO line to find and connect a licence and then update the end user country and/or end usage. This is all very well if there is only a few CO lines but my customer can have up to 100 lines on an order all of which will have to be connected to a licence. Doing this manually is not an option so we are in the middle of creating something bespoke for them.I can’t imagine them being the only customer having that problem so maybe there is something in the pipeline I am not aware of? Or is there anyone out there who had the same problem and has already created something for their customer? ThanksMaria  

Hi  We’re running Apps 8 and have had an error message that we’ve never seen before: ‘A Supplier may not be specified as Owner when Purchasing is not installed’ Can anyone advise what this might be?

While working with Work Tasks in Aurena, the user receives the error “Insufficient Privileges” when selecting the tab “Allocate Resource”. This did not occur prior to UPD8, but wondering if this is a simple permissions changes brought on by UPD8 or another bug?

Hi, I cannot figure out why MRP does not take a released shop order into account. I have the following IPAP :On hand/usable/available qty: 18720Shop order with due date 06/08: supply of 24020, giving a projected ammount of 42740Cust order with due date 24/08: Demand of 49720 I run MRP,  and the system gives me a shop order req with due date 24/08, of 31000. This will bring my projected qty on 24020, exactly the ammount of the already created SO. Does anyone know which settings could cause this? The part has planning method A, on the shop order we have the boxes ‘Include as Supple’, ‘Include as Demand’ and ‘Include as Load’ checked. There is no minimum/max lot size

First level user can not cannot authorize second level but he is using supersede Authorization option. We need to restrict it. How Can I do this please help.

We are processing an RMA for 2 lines.  Line 1 originally was shipped from our warehouse.  Line 2 was shipped from our supplier.  All parts were returned to our warehouse.  As we were Receiving in Line 2, we received the information message stating: Please provide information of what happens if we answer OK to this financially? Is there another way to receive in parts shipped from a Supplier?   Thanks

Hi everyone. I kindly ask for your help. How can i assign a location for a site as default? Thanks.

Is there a way to highlight/select all lines on a screen (‘Parts’ for example) without having to click on the first record and drag down until the bottom of the page? This can be cumbersome when you have hundreds/thousands of records. 

I’ve created a new shop order by following a training doc support. I’ve got the following error message : “Structure Revision is null. Issuing is not allowed”. And during the flow, the following question (Popup) appears : “The shop order is for revision of part XXX-YYY. The location you selected in row 1 have different revison for the part. Do you want to continue?” I’ve answerd yes after checking that they are both rev 1. All advices are welcome. Thank you.

Hello, Does IFS provide a way to set the credit limit a supplier has provided a company similar to the credit limit on a customer record? Our accounting department would like to have IFS enforce a credit limit from a supplier so purchasing can not release purchase orders which would exceed our credit limit with a supplier.   I’ve searched on the supplier record but I could not locate such a field. Regards,William Klotz

Our company is wanting to have the sales team update the Target Sales Plan in Demand Forecast by a product code.Demand Forecast within IFS doesn’t allow the column to be changed. Is there a way to edit that column? Can an adjustment be made at a product code level instead of SKU level. We forecast at the family level.

Hello all,Please I would be glad if someone can show me the system flows of how Forecast from the demand planner flows into IPR in IFS and how it is connected to stock on Hand to generate purchase requisitions  for replenishment purpose i.e.  how the report move between screens in IFS. Thank you  Julius

Dear all ,It is not allowed to use manufactured part to move within locations using transport task.  Do you have any views on this ?   Thanks in advance.

Question,  is there a way to include these two dates in the P.O. C.O. process (as part of the enforce rule)?  Testing indicates these two are not included.  Changing (only) the Promised Del. Date using the RMB context menu “Confirm with Differences via Change Order” does not invoke the P.O. C.O. process. WHY I ask:  We would like to capture these “Vendor Driven” date changes, holding the P.O. C.O. from Release (that’s a security issue-easy) until production schedules and commitments are considered by the materials planner.Cheers!

How do we send inventory back to a supplier for rework/repair?We received on parts 3 months ago. We have paid the supplier and are now found a failed piece of equipment. How do we send it back to the supplier for rework. The original PO cannot be re-opened due to staged payments already being processed. We do not wish to receive a credit, or invoke any other transaction other than showing this part left our company and is sitting at the supplier.
