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

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.

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

While Receiving an item (Register Arrivals) the whole qty is being Reserved automatically,in IFS10In APP8 we used to Reserve manually after Receipt..

Hi,  I’m trying to set up IFS for the french Chorus-Pro invoices service and I miss 3 mandatory fields. The global extension IFS app 10 UPD9 provides the service code which is mandatory, but I cannot find the others fields as : the commitment number the market number the contract number Does anyone have the same issue to include/ find theses additional informations for Chorus Pro?

Good day, I have a question about Register Arrivals > Receive dialogue box W/D/R No field - can this field default to blank and mandatory?  Currently when I go into Register Arrivals and RMB > Receive, the W/D/R No field currently displays ‘*’Many thanks John

Hi therehope you are all doing well!Our organisation are taking on a new warehouse and moving many thousands of lines of stock into the new warehouse. I’m hoping for some advice on how whether it is possible to move inventory in bulk in a more efficient way than creating transport tasks. I’ve been looking at the migration tool and was wondering whether this could be used or if there Are any other options?  We’re currently using Apps 9.  Thank you to you all in advance 😀

Hello!I searched through the forums but could not find this specific error. When generating a calendar after a new exception was inserted we get an error with the text ([..] below were removed by me):Error while updating Purchase Order Line. Order No: [..]  Line No: [..], Release No: 1, Planned Receipt Date: [..]. ORA-20110: SuppBlkPeriod.NO_CHANGES_ALLOWED_: No changes allowed when Supplier Agreement status is Cancelled.I discussed this with our system architect who hadn’t seen this error before. I found the cancelled agreements in the module Procurement→ Supplier->Pricing→ Supplier agreements but I don’t know how to solve this issue or why this would affect the calendar. We’re using IFS 8

In our current (non IFS) system, it is possible to create one Distribution Order and then add multiple order lines to it for different items to be added to the same order, but in IFS, currently our users are having to create many individual distribution orders containing single order lines in each, then having to merge them to get to the same point, which is time consuming. Some of our distribution orders, used for site to site internal stock moves can have many items on them. Has anyone else ran into this issue, and found a way to allow multiple order lines to be added to a single distribution order? Or is thissomething IFS are planning to add in the future? Navigation is: Warehouse Management - Distribution Order - Distribution Order.Thanks
