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 those deliveries - not possible in Supplier schedule Date of dispatch - not possible in Supplier schedule Date of goods receipt Delivery Note numberI wonder how businesses in EU comply with th

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 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 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
