Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

We have a PO with header status ‘received’. Most lines Closed, some are in released state. each individual line has a discount defined. Supplier is providing an additional 5% discount for the whole PO, we just got to know.  How do we add this additional 5% discount in IFS now?

Hi All,We currently purchase an item by the CTN but would like to issue it by EA.1 CTN = 4 EACan you please tell me which fields I need to populate to make this conversion work?Do I use the “Supplier for Purchase Part” or multiple other transactions?example below. 

Just looking to find some information on Credit receipts.I.e Once and invoice linked to a PO has been paid, and then returned a credit receipt is then created which can then be matched to a Cr note etc.Is there a way to search for credit receipts aside  either creating a manual supplier invoice selecting --> (Match  PO receipts) and viewing from within the invoice itself or from using the (RBNI) received but not invoiced reports?I was hoping there was something similar to the (receipts) module however this seems to only show Dr receipts. Thanks in advance

Hi all,Please I would be obliged if someone can help me understand how to connect the IPR data to the demand planner when performing forecasting . The purpose of this question to enable me perform Inventory  re - balancing among distribution network . Thanks Julius 

The purpose of my request is that I am part of team  deploying IFS 10 in  an organization that current using SAP and and other tool for Demand forecasting . The process is very different in IFS and I am looking for how to reconcile the two systems , I have read a lot of resources but I felt I need a process of how  I can integrate the data from SAP and the Forecasting tool ( MCA/SIO) into IFS. I am just wondering if someone has experienced this type of project before and can help with how the demand planner and the forecasting client pull data from all the master data ( CRM, Vendor and Material Masters ) considering inventory on hand and other Parameters to generate effective demand plan  and forecast. Thanks 

I have created a custom field on the bottom of the Customer Order view (tbwCustomerOrderLine_Ext). Although I can ‘see’ the field in Mandatory tab of the Object Properties it is not listed in the Layout tab. Because of this I have not been able to make it available to users.

Is it possibly to set up the MRP Run/Action proposals to differentiate between demand from parts on a Work Order and from parts below safety stock?The reason why I am asking is that after I added components to the Work Order (Materials Tab) and ran the MRP, they Purchase Requisition shows up with MRP as Requisitioner (ideally I would like to have the work order number on this field to make it easier for tracking stock replenisment orders and  orders against a W.O.)I know that if parts are added directly on the Work Order/ Requisitions tab, this information is carried accross and the Purchase Requisition is flagged with Requisitioner as WO, but I am trying to get this same function through the Work Order/ Materials tab.  

Does anyone know if there are Apps 10 Demand Planner Presentations? Looking for a overview or basic understanding of it.

New to IFS. What’s the best way to update a Bin Location of an inventory item?I’ve been shown how to do it in “Move Inventory Part” but then when we do a search for the item it shows up as two locations?Is there a way to update the locations so only the current location shows up when searching?Thanks 

HiI’d be interested to hear how anyone has handled Composite VAT / Tax rates on sales?For example:  A Package Part with multiple components each with different Tax Codes and Rates.  Or you have a sales part that contains several components with different rates. When you raise the invoice the Invoice, the tax amount needs to be the ‘weighted average’ tax amount of the individual components, but you show only a single line. Thanks

Can anyone tell me the minimum standard IFS permissions needed to give someone access to a forecast in the Demand Planner?

Hello,We have a scenario where we need to transfer some of our inventory to be held in long term storage using a third party storage facility. We would then transfer some of that stock back to our location on an annual basis, based on forecasted demand. We will still own the material, and we want to be able to see the quantity of parts held in stock at that location so that MRP doesn’t try to plan any new purchases. However, we would need to allow a lead time of say 2 weeks to allow the transfer of any material back to our site. If we had some unexpected demand pop up, we wouldn’t want the stock at the off-site location to show as immediately available.I was looking into the use of remote warehouses & transport tasks to cover this. We have never used these so don’t have any experience with the set up etc. We are a single site company and have always maintained our inventory on site, as company owned material.I created a new remote warehouse with an av

Hello Everyone, Is it possible to exclude a Purchase Order in status “Confirmed” from MRP supply calculation?  This is a very unique situation where we need the supply information on the PO to be excluded from MRP.  It seems the freeze status in the PO header might be an option but the user has already Confirmed the PO which makes this option unavailable.  There doesn’t seem to be anything available on the PO line either. We have considered cancelling the current PO and re-issuing with status freeze but it’s a very large PO with several hundred lines. We are in APPS 9.   Thanks

When we find quality issues on parts after they have been inspected and put in stock, how do we cancel the receipt in order to register a new inspection with rejected quantities? We have heard that we have to put the parts back to the arrival location to be able to cancel the receipt, but we cannot move inventory stock to the arrival location again. (not possible to select the arrival location as destination. Or when changing a transport task we can select the arrival location as destination but it is not possible to save since there is no PO reference and we cannot add it manually. We want to achieve:Correct PPM data/quality statistics Ability to send parts back to supplier or scrap Please help us find an approach to this problem.

Hello,I’m looking into setting up the Intersite automation and have a question. You need to set an Internal Customer and Internal Supplier in the sites.
