Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hi,I have set up a new Order processing type, which would release a PR, convert it to a PO, Release the PO and then Print the Purchase Order.  I have then scheduled Automatic Order processing against this order processing type. I have successfully been able to get through all of the steps. I am now looking to have the printed PDF sent to the supplier. I have the Email Purchase Order check box selected on the supplier.I also have a default email comm method and a contact listed on the supplier.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to successfully have the email send out.Additionally, I would like to edit the subject and body of the email.  I am not sure that I can use an event based on the PDF_REPORT_CREATED as the email address for the supplier would not be available (not sure about this statement though) Not sure what setup I am missing to have this functionality work as expected.

My organization is in the process of implementing IFS cloud as our new ERP system. I am looking for thoughts/ideas around how to register arrivals on lot tracked material. For example, I order 10 skids of material that all have individual lot numbers and individual weights. The purchase order is for 40,000 lbs. of part number 12345. I would like to register the arrival against the PO by populating 10, 4000 lb. skids by individual lot numbers without manually overriding the PO. Is there an “upload” functionality that can avoid the manual process? Other ideas? Thanks in advance for the thoughts!

Hello, All, Master Schedule by Part form does not take into account Purchase Orders that are with past due dates, when calculating supply proposals. Is there a way to fix this?  

Hi, IFS Cloud version 24R2. (Below sample data are from a IFS Demo environment) In the RMA there are multiple lines (from a single customer order). Release → Approve for Credit Create Credit Invoice  View Credit Invoice Four separate invoices have been created. This is quite inconvenient/inaccurate as the customer has about 100 lines at times. Causing to create 100 credit invoices to the same Customer and Customer Order. Is there a possibility to create a single Credit Invoice for multiple RMA| lines ? Any setting or any other window for that ?

Hello all. I have acidently posted a serial part back to the inventory over a work order return. That was the first transaction for this part serial. As it was wrong I have issued it away from the stock over the work order material issue.Now we have received exactly this part - serial number over a purchase order from owr supplier. When I try to register the arrival (RMT receive with serial / Lots in the “Register Arrival” window) I receive the error message:So this serial part has current position “issued” and while we have activated the checkbox “Stop PO Arrivals of Issued Serials” by the Main Part, I receive this error message and cannot register the receipt of this serial.As I know if I will uncheck the checkbox and then register the rereceipt, it will not be possible to set the checkbox back. And I would like to keep this checkbox set, as I need the control, that we don”t post the same serial twice on the inventory.Is their any other possibility to register the receipt of this par

I am working on a shortage report for shop orders material. I have a concept of if full required hasn’t been issued of that material by the date required and date required < today then its fine I can mark it as a shortage, I want to look for future shortages (90 days) and I am thinking how to do that? any ideas? how can I suspect if the future date required (Say 5 days from now) the part will be on shortage or not?The only thought I have his to check if the SO/PO is against that demand (but that too is confusing how to do..)

I am attempting to configure a purchase order authorization rule, in combination with the routing template, that does not require the buyer/PO creator to authorize the PO.Can IFS be configured to by-pass the buyer if the PO is within their authorization limit or, because the buyer is listed as an authorizer with a limit, they must then authorize the PO as the first step in the routing template? Example:Buyer - Sam - Creates PO for $450Sam - Authorization limit $500Manager - Authorization limit $501-$10,000 Is there a way to bypass Sam/Buyer if purchase orders below $500?Can the authorization bypass the Buyer and go directly to the Manager if the amount is above $500 if Sam/Buyer created the PO? The goal is to remove the person creating the PO from the approval process.

Hi Team,Can the IFS B2B portal be used as a PunchOut e-commerce catalog for another ERP or a different IFS environment?If so, what is the correct format for constructing the OCI URL?

Hi All, We are doing an XML integration to create customer orders via incoming customer orders in cloud 24R1. My question is, our customer is using different types of  Order Types to create customer orders.  Is there a standard method to add the Order Type to incoming customer orders as well because there is no Order Type filed in Incoming Customer Order record? Thank You.

Hi All,When creating a Purchase Order, we would like to filter the PG field (see screenshot) based on the supplier record: The supplier record contains only the PGs relevant to that specific supplier. Filtering the PG field accordingly would ensure that users see only the valid values. This would improve data accuracy and limit the selection to relevant options.  Could you please advise if there is any standard functionality in IFS, or an automation process, that would allow this?Thank you in advance.Best regards,Fatimetou Taleb

Cannot explain myself around a behaviour in purchase order authorisation. Below is how my auth rule is setup. Note the ‘Use Delta Amounts for Auth’ is set to Yes. Now, my PO is initially a placeholder for total of 0.01 value. Then a POCO is created to add another line with a value of 120,000.An authorisation is expected on this POCO, however is not fetched when the Delta Amt for Authorisation is set to yes. In my pov, there is a clear delta amt which is within the range of the auth rule. When the Delta Amt check is set to no, the auth rule is fetched. System - IFS Cloud 23.1.3

Hello, As far as i know, we cannot apply a pre-posting posting control to Charge Types on a Purchase Order. Correct?I want to be able to create a Charge Type “DUES” which would apply to multiple departments. Is there any suggestion on how to make this happen?This is what i have tested so far: I created the charge type, selected “no code part value” on the posting control, had AP update the department on the supplier invoice, but it gave us the following error.This account requires a Site and Department. There is no site attached to the posting control for this charge type, but there was a department added to the supplier invoice at matching.  Any suggestions for this welcome! Thanks in advance. 

Hello,  Is it possible to use forward scheduling for purchase parts in IFS Cloud, use current date as indicator if we have past due or close demand and see the earliest possible purchase requisition receipt date according to purchase part read time ?

Hi All I am keen to know what's newly implemented in IFS 24R1 in Rental Management compared to what was available in IFS10? I know the IFS Academy provides a complete overview, but I am only looking for what's new. Thanks,Asela

Hi,When changing the supplier payment terms on the supplier, all the placed orders will also change accordingly. Is this really the right functionality? Shouldn’t the already placed order remain with the “old” payment terms?IFS Cloud used. All comments/info highly appreciated. Br,Marita

I’m trying to close out a purchase order but can’t close out two of its lines due to a quantity change. Both received lines need to be updated from a quantity of 2 to 1.Specifically: The affected purchase order lines should be changed to: Qty Required: 1 Qty Pegged: 0 Qty Issued: 1 I tried unpegging and updating the quantities, but that didn’t work. I also looked into unreceiving the items, cancelling the PO lines, re opening the requisitions, and reducing the quantity on the work task itself but this also didn’t resolve the issue.All materials for this job are on hand, but the related work order can’t be closed until the purchase order is fully closed. Has anyone run into this issue before or have suggestions for how to resolve it?

No column available for ‘Unit Cost’ in Purchase Requisition lines. Version 23.2.8

Hi, Is it possible to set the MRP parameters to only look so far ahead? At the moment, as soon as a req is created (even if for next year), MRP suggests buying or making the stock. I do not want to consider that order until at 3 months prior to required date. It would be ideal to see demand without any req’s being generated. Using planning method G currently.    Thanks, Dan

Hi, is there an easier way to uncheck the authorization required tick box on the PO header level? The way we know how to do it now is to reject authorization on each PO. We have about 150 POs which we’d like to reverse but we can’t do it in a more efficient manner right now. 

We’re trying to amend the Demand Plan Forecast Parts in IFS, but they all show status of ‘locked’How can they be unlocked?(We’re running APPS 9)

We have a supplier set up to be a self-billing account and when we receive product at our various sites, we are seeing the “AS” self-billing invoices processed and in our supplier analysis to be posted.  However, we have recently added a new Site to our IFS system, and even though we are using the same supplier, the receipts done in this new Site are not being processed as a self-billing invoice.  Is there another setting that we are missing or something else that has to be run that is Site specific?
