How do others handle invoice POs when parts have been returned for credit?An example of the issue we are having:The supplier ships 10 pcs and emails the invoice for 10 pcs to our AP group.The 10 pcs are received and the Arrival report is sent to AP to verify the receipt.1 pc is identified as bad and returned to the supplier for credit.When AP tries to enter the invoice, they don’t have 10 pcs to match against.The supplier has not yet sent the credit.

We have a customer that wants to have a charge (or cost etc) when issuing parts from inventory to a work order, without affecting the inventory value. The warehouse is seen as an independent organisation and then need to generate revenue to cover the cost (labor cost). To clarify with example: The part has a inventory value of 100, and when the part is issued to a work order, the cost on the work order will be 110. We cannot find a suitable solution for this but i believe IFS has a great way to solve it. 

Hi allFrom the requisition tab of a work order, a purchase requisition was made and a PO was created and released resulting in a “close” status of the requisition on the WO tab.Now, I want to cancel the PO again, but I get the message that there are peggings connected to the PO line and I have to remove the pegging first. Problem is, I cannot do anything from the WO screen to remove the pegging, so I’m stuck.How can I solve this? thanksKurt

Hi, Does anyone in this community have any experience with 3rd party supplier portals integrated with IFS 10? The IFS supplier portal becomes really expensive when you have many suppliers but not massive spend. From what I have heard only the Oracle licenses for each supplier is full Oracle license. That business case wont work for us and is not scalable for future rollouts of IFS within our group. The wish list includes:Updating supplier data (approved by us before updated) Update purchase part data (approved by us before updated) Handling of purchase orders (for the suppliers that do not use EDI that we want to set up shortly. Suppliers could choose EDI or the portal.) Ability to get forecast (without our involvement) Possibility to have “one login” together with our drawing distribution system to make it feel integrated. Handling of quality issues and reports Any suggestion would be appreciated

Hi all, I have a very specific case which requires some help;By request of the biggest customer of company X , Supplier Managed Inventory (SMI) or Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) will be offered to the customer to a selected range of parts. In the scenarios of SMI between company X and the customer, The inventory is customer owned and located at their own warehouse. Company X receives the forecast, usage and orders frrom the customer.My own advise was to use a dummy company where the products will theoretically be moved to and scrapped when used. Invoice will be sent to the customer and the delivery address is customer site. Could anyone please advice how to handle customer owned stock?

Hi, I am trying to setup warehouse storage capacity on warehouse navigator screen. I have entered all the parameters for Width, Height, Depth, Volume and Carrying capacity for Site, Warehouse and Bin location. I have also defined storage requirements on part catalog and inventory part. Whenever I try to receive the part on that location it shows me following error:  am I missing some step here ?    Thank you. 

We usually log the credit/return in the receipt portion - return for credit, but is there a way to add the credit to the PO itself.

Is there a place in IFS EE where the Asset class is stored with the Inventory Value?  We use the inventory value by period to report our total inventory levels, but we would like it by Asset Class.  There are views in IFS that has the information, but the views seem to capture the data when the view is displayed hence the asset class displaying with the historical inventory value is the current asset class, not the asset class when the historical data was taken.

Whenever we try to change an invoicing supplier in a PO which is in Released state we get the above error however there is no Invoice made/matched for this Purchase order still we receive above error.I believe there is some internal setting in IFS Apps 8.0 where it is defined already that for any given site you can’t process/make any changes in PO whether its Price, tax code, qty etc. post its authorization. This Change order functionality is only there is IFS V8.0 and above, want to know where is the root cause or that internal setting defined as this has to nothing deal with PO authorization rule when checked.Tried to change the setting in authorization too which lists as follows; 

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

Hi all, (using IFS10, UPD7) We are looking into setting up an interface with our external logistics company. We send them our Purchase Orders etc through a scheduled Quick Report. The idea is that they will revert back when these PO’s have been received by them. Is there a standard API for this PO Receipt, that also is able to send the location where the parts are stored?

Hi All,I am getting this error in returning a part that is delivery to a customer with Internal Purchase Direct In Customer Order site, this part does not have any previous transactions and cost is also zero.I tried updating the Part Cost with an Estimated Material Cost. But, still I get this error.Does any one know how this can be solved? ThanksGayan

I see there is an option to Confirm,Cancel or Freeze a PO.  What does Freeze do?

Hi Experts,In Request for Quotation window, How to select Suppliers based on Line items?Suppose i have 10 lines in PR and RFQ is raised from PR then how can we select suppliers for few lines (lets say Supplier A is only quoting for first 3 line items).Currently what i have observed is that Suppliers are added for all the line items. Can we segregate suppliers line item wise and record its quotation separately as well. Please respond.Regards  

Hi Experts, One of our clients purchase Fixed Assets and store it in warehouse. Then it is issued on Material Requisition to relevant department.How to cater this requirement in IFS Applications 10. Regards   

MRP has created a purchase req for a part. The only demand for this part is on a planned activity. I was under the impression MRP ignores activities that aren’t released. Interestingly i have another part on the same activity, and mrp correctly ignores this so must be something to do with the part??Does anyone have an idea as to what may be going on?Thanks in advance.

Hello community! Our company is experiencing an issue and we are looking for some help from the team. When we run MRP, our purchase requisitions are being created with wanted delivery dates short of lead time if there is already a confirmed purchase req in existance that has not been received yet. IFS is assuming that we can simply consolidate these POs, even though the new demand does not give enough lead time. Is there a setting that will allow all new purchase reqs to create at lead time regardless of other open purchase reqs existing? EXAMPLE BELOWToday is 6/3Part has a 40 day lead time.There is a purchase req already existing that was created on 5/19 that is due 6/28New demand is introduced, mrp runs, and a new purchase req is created today (6/3) with a wanted delivery date of 6/28 instead of 7/13 (40 day lead time)IFS is assuming that I can consolidate the POs, however, I am now only giving 25 days lead time for the new demand. Is there a setting that is turned on that is causing

Hi all,Please I will be obliged if anyone can help me  with IFS Distribution Manual. Thanks  Julius 

We have not been using the “Action Taken” flag within the MRP Action Proposals. We just started looking into implementing this as a must.What is the best way to trace past messages that have been processed? Ideally, we would like to implement this as a metric having a percentage of actioned lines from the universe of message proposed.

Hi Fellow Developers, I am trying to create a TRUE FALSE Enum based read only custom field in “Multilevel Availability Check” Screen at line level. The enum I created is a simple custom enumeration  of 2 choices True and False. Since the field is read only I have written the Select Statement with a CASE that If a certain 2 column values match return TRUE or FALSE from that case but when I try to finish the field creation I get the error as attached.Can somebody tell me how to fix it ?

A user wishes to partially return part of a purchase order receipt. The current process we use is to enter the qty being return in the ‘Qty to Inspect’ filed on a purchase order receipted. We would then right click and select ‘Register Inspection Result’ and carry out either a Scrap or Return process. There are two users, who have the same End User Role, however, for one of the users the ‘Register Inspection Result’ option is greyed out. Is there any other mechanisms which determine a user being able to select this option? Both have access to the Site the purchase order is for and can view the Purchase Order Receipt.

It doesn't appear we can easily combine shipments from two sites into one.  Consolidated shipments appear to only look at a single site and it won't let me assign a shipment from one site into a shipment in another site.  Does anyone know of a workaround? Thanks

Hi All,I’m trying to figure out if there is a a way to gross up the cost of my inventory to include the cost of the incoming freight. I know that we can do that in the purchase order process, but that would really bog down my AP. Is there a way to allocate it to the parts on the invoice? Is there a way to just allocate the entire GL balance to all parts on hand?  Thanks,Mike
