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.

How does IFS address the Legal requirement ‘The harmonization of the documentary evidence to prove VAT exempt EU cross-border movements of goods’? https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2018/1912/ojRef: Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1912 of 4 December 2018 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2011 as regards certain exemptions for intraCommunity transactions and the harmonization of the documentary evidence to prove VAT exempt EU cross-border movements of goods (Article 45a IR)Our customer tries to address this using Supplier Schedules, but some required information are missing in the standard design, so currently fulfilling this manually. According to my understanding, it is required to send following information to the supplier;The last 3 up to 10 received deliveries Qty for

Hi Experts, In on of our clients, there is a scenario where they have a contract with multiple currencies. E.g. Rupee and USD. Base currency is Rupee and its ok to deal with it but for USD they have agreed to fixed the exchange rate for the contract. So, the dollar rate should be fetched as agreed in the contract in Invoices.We are currently using Sales Contract Functionality with AFP and Project Invoice.Question is “How to get fixed Exchange Rate for Dollar part of the contract where it will reflect the same/fixed rate in invoices and at payments as well.Please share best practice regarding this scenario. Note: Using IFS Application 10 U8. Best Regards

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?

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

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?
