Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hi, Kindly we need to know who is the best IFS partner from an expert consultant can give us demo om MRP (Material Requirement Planning) and show us all its capabilities. Thank you and best regards,Bilal Drayi

We use the shop orders material planning (SOMP) screen to quickly identify shop order shortages.  We do not want consider material available until is has completed QA inspection and is approved for use.  We currently use the availability control ID field to identify when material is waiting for inspection, approved or rejected.  We are running into an issue where materials are received and awaiting QA inspection but the SMOP screen shows the material as available to use.  We want the material to show as on hand but not available which then triggers the SMOP to call it out as a shortage. We tried setting the awaiting QA inspection availability control id status to non-nettable but that caused MRP to drive additional purchases for the materials that were just received.  Is there an inventory status that can be used that recognizes the material as on hand but not available?  Or has anyone else run in to this issue and found another way to easily identify material shortages due to awaiting

When creating centralized po, the demand site on the po line is different than the header delivery address.  The problem we have is that as soon as the demand site changes the line delivery address changes to match the demand site.  For tax reasons, we need the line delivery address to match the header delivery address.  Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to accomplish this requirement?Thanks in advance

I apply a Manual Gross weight to a Handling Unit when it is produced / purchased. When I move the handling unit in stock to adifferent Inventory Location the Manual Gross Weight field is cleared.

Dear community. I would like to use the Purchase Authorisation Acknowledger Authorisation role to allow certain levels  of users to acknowledge a Purchase Req but with no financial limit. I may be mistaken but there appears to be very little documentation on how the Authorisation Role functionality works.  When i have tried i get an error indication there are not enough steps to authorise the PR, but i just want an acknowledgement.  Does anyone have any experience with this or any documentation ?

We are having issues posting multiple invoices to a single charge line.  What are others doing for this?  We have tried various ways up setting up the charge line but nothing seems to work efficiently. 

Is there any reason why we have to unchcek this box if it was created with it checked?  I could not find any system limitations if it stays checked.

Hello, I have noticed an issue with Shop Orders that require an outside service. Often times we may choose to over run a shop order. So, an SO may start with an original Lot Size of 100, however we will run 150 parts. The issue with this practice is that the connected Purchase Order for the outside service does not increase to match the new lot size. I have reviewed the help section in IFS, but I do not see where or if the ability exists to ensure the PO increases with SO quantity. When this issue occurs, we are unable to receive all of the parts in from the supplier. We will then have to manually adjust the PO to match the qty, which causes significant administrative overhead. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I was able to create the shell of a work order for a branch ie General and CO Info tabs. As part of this, I also selected the Finish with Task selection like mentioned below.Then I was able to save the Work Order as a template (see attached document)But I can only get them to show up in My Administration\Template…for ‘my’ profile.I can’t see a way to share them so that they are available for everyone when you click the ‘New’ icons options.Anyone do any work with these types of templates before?

Hi, We cannot get any result in the Intrastat reporting. It is just empty.We have read this and think that we have set up the data correctly:https://ifsprod.alimakgroup.com:48080/ifsdoc/documentation/en/default.htm?openpage=https://ifsprod.alimakgroup.com:48080/ifsdoc/documentation/en/Invent/frmIntrastat.htm Is there any test we can simulate to know what the issue might be?If not, what would be the best support approach to get help? Support tickets are incredibly slow right now, we just need a person with experience of swedish intrastat setup to find our gaps and tell us what we need for it o work.  If this topic belongs in finance, please move it there.

Does IFS have a setting to articulate the order in which checks print?  When we print a payment batch, the physical check numbers are assigned in order of check amount.  We’re hoping to update a setting to instead be Supplier #.  Thanks! 

Hi, Community, Does anyone have experience with ABBYY?We are planning to build the interface ABBYY to IFS, in the future, all supplier invoices will be digitally input/output via this interface. I believe we should go with API.Need some help to understand how we can send and receive files in IFS.For example, in below items,a designated folder periodically pull data from IFS, ABBYY listen and retrieve the data? what kind of job should be created in IFS?  a FTP folder designed for ABBYY download the supplier invoice, and IFS pick up and read into IFS? security? Access?Your input is very much appreciated. Thank you. 

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.
