Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

I was wondering whether somebody has good tips on how to provide our buyers with Inventory turnover figure to purchase requisition line to help them sanity check the future PO line and planning data in general. I’ve been looking at API’s and available views but a good candidate for the information source has not popped up… This information would be really helpful for reducing the inventory levels in long term. Thanks

We had a case where customer was using Apps9 ESTIMATES Extension and customer reported erroneous costs on Estimates cost build up.It was bringing in high labor costs for purchased raw parts… labor costs are only supposed to happen for manufactured parts.This customer was using configurations and whenever they selected a different sub assembly/compressor (i.e. different from the one they acquired via the RMB Load from template) via edit configurations and recalculated the costs on the estimate, the problem was noticed.  From the SQL point of view, your estimate in error will show up when you run the following SQL (and you can add an “and” condition to include your estimate_id). In an ideal situation, the following SQL is not supposed to return any rows, but if it does (whether in Apps9 or Apps10), you have a cost build up problem with that estimate.select Estimate_Node_API.Get_Displaytext(estimate_id, estimate_revision_no, node_id)   item_name,a.* from ESTIMATE_NODE_COST_TAB awhere cost

We are using IFS Apps10 UPD10 We have a scenario where the expediting fee we need to add on the PO is a percentage of the calculated line price.  Right now we are calculating this outside of IFS and just entering the calculated price on the PO line.  I’m wondering if there is a way to enter this scenario in an IFS PO line (purchased part) so IFS can do the math.Example:Price = 100Discount = 25%Unit Net = 75Express Fee = 75 * .15 (15%) = 11.25Express Unit Net = 86.25Is there a way I can enter 100, 25%, 15% and get IFS to do the math?

If you have posted a Return line in the Receipt app - how do you cancel or reverse this, if it was done in error?  Qty to Inspect cannot be a negative number, so I can’t just add a negative receipt to offset.

Is there a way to capture who created the transport task? Currently we have some struggles where the user processing the transport task may have questions or such. At this time we have not been able to find any fields that are storing the requestor/creator. 

Hi All,Does anyone have an XML file which we can use to create an External Fiscal Note (by uploading to In1) for any of the APP10 GET CORE environments?If not, any advice on how to create an XML for this purpose? Any template which I could fill?Thank you. 

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 reason 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.

A question for technical experts please,We need to implement a modification in IFS where,  A Free text box to be introduced to the Supplier window to input the text used right now on sticky note When the PO is loaded, (e.g. query by a user) that piece of info is to be fetched from the Supplier need to be popped up as an Information message. Users can ok it and proceed with the PO Do you think this is technically feasible at all, especially point 2? 

Hi All, we have an ongoing issue with incorrect delivery dates pulling through onto Supplier Schedules.  Our scheduled suppliers have set delivery days of the week and these are set up as a part of the supplier schedule agreement. However when we have bank holidays, the dates shift as a result and continue to shift with dates into the future.  In the attached example, the schedule date is Monday but as soon as a Bank Holiday approaches the day moves out to Wednesday and then Thursday & Friday.  Any suggestions as to why this happens and how it can be resolved? Thanks, Peter

Hello,The company I work for is running a pilot using the B2B supplier portal - we are running on apps 10. We have run into a situation where the supplier contact that will manage the orders from within the portal is tied to multiple supplier numbers within the IFs system. We set up each of the suppliers and persons appropriately and as seen below check all the supplier numbers, but are not seeing all of the right data in the portal for each supplier number.It seems IFS is only allowing for there to be a single default supplier and only those orders/data set appears in the portal.Does anyone know if multiple suppliers can be set for a single person?  

Does IFS have something similar to ‘Supplier Scorecard’ to score for KPIs agreed with the supplier? We use IFS10.

Hi Experts There is a scenario in one of our customers that they make annual agreement with their supplier for purchase of Diesel. Quantity is agreed on for annual requirement but price is not. They ask for deliveries based on their requirement throughout the year and issue POs accordingly. Price will be charged based on current rate of diesel in the country. (Diesel prices change every month based on international market).Was thinking to use ‘supplier agreement – blanket orders’ but price is not fixed so………… How to run this scenario in IFS Applications 10?Regards

We are looking to implement the ability to raise a large purchase order, which will then have call-off purchase order lines when we would like to take delivery of product.I have been approached with some good customisation ideas but I don’t want to overlook any standard IFS functionality?  Is there another way to achieve this in IFS currently?

Can someone shed some light on how Supplier Shipments work in IFS? Is it only for Supplier returns? I tried to look for learning resources in the community, but couldn’t find any other than regular shipments which I am familiar with. If you have a link or a IFS document, I would be grateful. F1 help details that Supplier returns work for rental returns. We haven’t purchased the Rental Management module from IFS. Hence I would overlook the rental management part at this time.

A customer order exists with one order line for 100pcs connected to a project activity, and full Qty was delivered to the customer. Later, customer returned 20pcs due to some issue (wrong batch etc), and company created a RMA and received them back to stock. If the company wants to deliver another 20pcs, they cannot use the same order line, instead have to create a new order line for 20 pcs, connect this to the same project activity and process and deliver. Is there anyway that first order line be used to deliver the remaining quantity?Thanks for your support.

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?
