Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hello Community.We are using IFS APPS 8.We are performing MRP. During MRP run we have considered specific customer order lines and their schedule in MRP run by un checking Release for Material planning flag. After MRP RUN we have found that Purchase requisitions of Raw material were generated for those parts which were not included as a schedule in customer order line.when we checked the reasin then found that some shop orders of of the parent parts of this raw material were in Release state and not completed issued or completed received or in closed state. That’s why these purchase requisitions generated.Is there any option to to exclude open shop order requirement for parts which we dont want to consider  during MRP run in IFS APPS 8. @AkilaR  can you help……!! RegardsDeepak

Hello Community.We are using IFS APPS 8.We are performing MRP. During MRP run we have considered specific customer order lines and their schedule in MRP run by un checking Release for Material planning flag. Now we need to monitor Raw material requisition for these Customer oreder lines which we have considered during MRP run.we are facing one challage.In our Raw material ware hosue we have procured Raw material for all the parts and due to this On hand Raw material stock is much more than requirement generated against the raw material during MRP run.So Purchase requisitions are not generating for these raw materia. Is there any option to exclude the current raw material stock present in ware house or manufacturing Floor from system. RegardsDeepak

I am looking to utilise IFS standard functionality if possible to handle Motor Trade Priority pricing, where a Purchase Order and Customer Order can have a priority that affects both the price paid to the supplier and the price paid by the customer.  This is dependent on the urgency of the order, but affects the unit price paid for the part (buying and selling), not by adding additional carriage charges for the higher priority orders. Effectively the same purchase part and sales part can have three different unit prices based on the priority set against the line of the Customer order or Purchase Order, the highest priority being Vehicle Off Road (VOR). There does not seem to be a standard way of handling this in IFS which is surprising given how common it is in some industry sectors. Has anyone come across this specific requirement and used IFS in a standard way to solve it?

I'm handling a case for a customer regarding the window 'Connectivity Outbox' in Apps 08Load a Shipment from the 'Shipment' Window. RMB and 'send dispatch advice' Open the latest message from 'Connectivity Outbox' Get Lines in the bottom from the 'Grid'There are numerous columns named C00, C01,… C99, N00,….N99, D00… etc. My question is that, how do I get some information regarding these columns? What are they, how the information is fetched?

Is there an overview for Sales Part Characteristics in the same manner are for Inventory Part Characteristics?  If not, is there a way to generate a list of results from the Find Sales Part by Characteristics Assistant?  I feel like I should be looking right at it, but I’m not seeing it…. 

Occasionally we get background job errors with the following error message:“The quantity issued may not be greater than the required quantity.ORA-20110:MaintMaterialReqLine.ISSUEDMORETHANPLANED”   I understand that this happens because the line in the script is pointing to the wrong field and actually tries to issue rec_.plan_line_no.  What I’m having trouble understanding is why it doesn’t happen every time. I just duplicated 4 material work order lines.  All 4 lines were inventory items.  2 of the 4 had a quantity of 1 ea on hand and the other two items had 0 on hand.  I created a purchase requisition for all 4 lines and then rolled the requisition into purchase orders.I approved and released the purchase orders and then did the ‘register arrival’ to receive the quantities. Based on the error mentioned above, I expected only 1 of the 4 lines to auto issue because the quantity required was higher than t

In Apps9 we are trying to connect a Control Plan to an Outside Op (Non-Inventory) Purchased Part on site A where the supplier for the part is internal supplier site B.  When we save we get the error message “Part Revision must have a value for Purchased Inventory Part xxxxx”.The part on the supply site is a Manufactured Part with Part Catalogue, Inventory Part, Product Structure, Routing and Sales Part records, and is entered on the demand site Supplier for Purchase Part record as “Supplier Part No” needed for inter-co PO/CO/SO functionality.Has anyone come across this issue before/have a solution/know it is recognised as a bug?    

I am trying to set up a Sourcing Rule that will select Invent Order where stock exists, but then automatically order any remaining order shortage from the Primary Supplier. So a Customer Order for 10 parts with 5 parts in stock and available. I want the Sourcing Rule to process the 5 parts that are available as Invent Order, and then raise a Purchase Requisition for the remaining 5 parts on the Primary Supplier. for the part. Is this possible? I can only get the Sourcing Rule to select the option that satisfies the whole order quantity, so ignoring the stock available where there is a shortage.  

I have a custom logical unit where I built a Custom Tab - which is displayed on 3 different pages.   They are displayed there and all can see, however when I update the page layout I can’t seem to get this layout to take on all the other profiles.   I’ve tried copying the cpg pages to the base profiles but nothing seems to work - any tips would be appreciated

I have two questions in regards to scheduling direction:How/where do you set the default for the scheduling direction on a shop order - ours currently defaults to BACKWARDS? Can the Earliest Start Date be defaulted?  Currently we experience the earliest start date always being the day the shop order is created.  We want to have this be the Need Date minus the cycle time from the routing. Thanks!

We received a customer-owned PO P181440 into U-08-03 a few days ago. There was no movement on the product, and now we are attempting to complete the PO return to pull it from stock. We’re receivingthe below error. Not sure what information we’re missing to pull this out. Location U-08-03 does not exist We have also received this error when processing RMA warranty back to factory as well

I am working in Work Order and have noticed that if I create a Purchase Requisition for an Inventory item the quantity issued after the po is received isn’t the quantity required.  Eg. Add Part number to Requisition tab of Work Order.  Quantity required = 25, quantity on hand = 4/ Material line is created for 25.On Requisitions tab, RMB and select ‘Requisition to Order”PO is created, approved and releasedRegister arrival = 25A few minutes later, on the Material tab, the Quantity Issued changes to 5 even thought the Quantity on Hand = 24. There are 20 reserved, but I will have to manually issue the 20 in order for my Material Req line to show Quantity Issued = 25.   

We are using IFS Apps 10 U8.  When registering inspection results in the purchase order receipt, I receive an error message stating the supplier default delivery address had not been specified in the Supplier Address Info.  We found that the delivery address had not been filled in on the purchase order part order lines.  This is preventing us from returning the PO.Is there a way to register the inspection results when the delivery address is not filled in on the part order lines?  

Hi all, We have a purchase req that was raised off a project and authorised, however the req is no longer required so we have got it back to planned status but when we go to the project to cancel the supply request the req is not showing in the demand tab. It is showing in the Supply and Connections but I cannot cancel the request. Subesquently the project activity has now been cancelled so I can no longer push the req through to order with a zero balance. Can anyone advise on how I can get rid of this purchase requisition?

I want to stock parts in EA UoM but only buy and sell in pack quantities. (2, 10, 25 No. etc). I am not running MRP or using Create Order Proposal as this is being handled by an external demand management system. Can I achieve this by using Purchasing and Pricing UoM and if so, how would I set this up to force buying in pack quantities of 10 ? At the moment I get an Information message if the quantity is less than the minimum quantity I have set up on the Supplier for Purchase Part record but not if the order quantity is over this amount. 

Is it possible to decide what columns that are shown in the top dropdown if you have multiple entrys (in this specific case multiple invoices in Posting proposals)? I would like to have PO Ref as one of the columns when i press the drop down arrow so that it is easier for me do find the correct invoice. So it would be Supplier, Name, Series ID, Invoice Identity and PO Ref. Thanks in advance!

Is there an accurate way to tell the on hand inventory for a certain day?

Can the Part Description be added to the header of a Purchase Requisition on a specific Requisitioner? I am trying to eliminate  having to go back and fourth through all of my requisitions to see what equipment is on all of them. It would be nice if the part description shows up on my  Purchase Requisitions module so I can see easily what item is on that Req.

Hi, In IFS10, it’s easy to change the ownership from customer owned to company owned.However, the other way around is not. I want to change the ownership of an inventory part from Company Owned to Customer owned. Does anyone have a good process for this? I can imagine we first make a CO to sell it and then a PO to bring it in as customer owned, but that seems a lot of work?  

Does anyone know how this field gets populated? Most of our orders have this blank, but some are coming up with MAINT, which causes us an issue.  Thanks for your help.Mike

Purchase Order Trans supply code on CO should normally mean manual purchasing. Yet when CO is not released yet (thus purchase requisition not yet generated), the lines are fetched by PMRP system. Is that normal functionality because to me it sounds as a bug in the system? Thank you in advance for any feedback. Regards
