Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to have an RMA show up in the Master Schedule as it is a type of supply which can influence the supply for the MS leading into actions.

Purchase order No par lines In IFS Cloud, is there any way to hide the the attached documents in the form of No Part lines ? The firs content is the Line No wheareas I expected the Attached document sign  Thanks 

We have raw materials that are used for multiple customers. When we qualify a new supplier our customers have to approve those suppliers which can take 3-6 months. Is there standard functionality that can prevent a raw material item from being used for a specific finished good item but allow it to continue being used for a different finished good? All our finished goods are unique custom part numbers. Example:Raw material part # 123 is used in end customer items #456 & #789. I am qualifying a new supplier for part #123. The customer for #456 has approved the supplier but the customer for #789 has not.  I realize I can have all that raw material from the new supplier come into inspect and have availability controls but I am trying to avoid having to manually release it every time for the customer who has approved it or creating new part numbers. I just want the system to not allow us to consume it for item #789.

I need help to setup (ITS) INET_TRANS to create incoming Customer Orders. Where can I find a sample XML file? How do I know what fields are required? Our customers are wanting to us their orders electronically. Your assistance is appreciated. We on IFSAPPS10 IEE version. Thank you,

Hi Team,The Package Part functionality is currently limited to sales. However, in the inter-company transaction flow, there's a requirement to receive the parts at the demanding site as a Package Part through the inbound logistics process, rather than as individual componentsHas anyone been able to handle this within the core functionality? 

Hi All,I’m working to better understand the fields and impact of the Supplier - “Contacts” & “Communication Methods” Question 1: What does the Communication Methods and Contacts help once set up… the only thing I can think of is:“Supplier Contact” field under the Tab “Purchase Address Info” which drive Emailing the Purchase Order, and Potentially the SRM Module if used.  Question 2: What is the benefit of populating the following fields: Communication Method:Default per Method Default per Method and AddressContacts:Address Primary Address Secondary Supplier Primary Supplier SecondaryThank you,Alex

Hi Experts,Can somebody throw light on warehouse access management in IFS cloud. Any Reference document would greatly help. RegardsLokesh

Community, We are on APP10, but we are still not sure whether IFS can handle Cross Docking. Can anyone shed some light on it? Thank you.

Hi Everyone,For example, a purchase request line was created and approved from 100 X products. It is desired to create a purchase order for 70 of these from supplier A and 30 from supplier B. Is there a standard solution for this?As far as I know, the request line should also be created as two lines, 70 pieces and 30 pieces. After the request is approved, can we divide it into two lines quantitatively? there must be a solution other than a supplier split

Is there a way to have the release numbers sort numerically ?  Example If you have line 1 release 1 and you get to line 1 release 10  on the table view line 1 and 10 will appear next to each other because of the leading 1. I looked in the page designer and didn’t see anything that might help. Thanks in advance 

Do Supplier Schedule types Plan and Calloff fundamentally and technically behave differently or is it the same functionality offered that can be used differently?

When entering a Purchase Lead Time on Inventory Parts (Apps10 and Cloud) we are finding the dates presented confusing. For amendments to the Purchasing Lead Time, whether made in the field below or made on the SFPP Manufacturing Lead Time and then calculated by Calculate Purchase Lead Time, the dates we are getting are as follows ;0 days - 31/03/251 day - 01/04/25 (Tuesday)2 days - 01/04/253 days - 01/04/25 - shown below4 days - 02/04/25The Site Calendar is a 5 day working week calendar and the Primary Supplier also has a 5 day working week calendar, the same as the Site calendar.This pattern is repeated the following week, with the same day (again a Tuesday) being presented for three different lead time days (8, 9,and 10 days).Can someone explain this? How can zero lead time have a supply date of 31/03/25 and a 3 day lead time have a supply date of only one day later? There are no other lead-times in supply chain  matrices. 

we have a purchase aggrement. I can use “Create aggrement release” screen to create a released PO. But if someone create a Purchase requsition, how can purchasing department can link and use that aggrement ?

Community,have you encountered the issues that the PR line does have price on it , and it is released, and authorized, but PR line does not have supplier ID associated? is it a bug?We are on APP10 UPD9. We only notice this happened when the PR is initiated from a project. Thank you.

 Hi AllAs tried in IFS 24.1.1; From the PO lines screen, I made the Requisitioner and the Requisition no mandatory via checking the ‘required’ checkbox and then published.      The goal was to prevent users from creating PO lines without a Purchase Requisition / Requisitioner.After publishing, I tried to save a PO line. It gets saved without the 2 mandatory fields that I set    Can you advise what I am doing wrong here?Thanks,Asela 

When using PO changes orders, in Apps 10, we are noticing that date changes require the use of a change order.We would like to use PO change orders to trigger authorizations - as such we only want to use PO changes orders when the quantity or price changes. Is there a way to setup the system to mandate this type of use case? mandatory use of PO change orders - means date changes have to be made via change orders optional use of PO changes orders - means quantity and price can be changed on the PO without a change order.  

A customer will work with Supplier Agreements. With one of their suppliers, the price depends on the total order quantity per purchase order and the number of different item numbers in the purchase order.For example: MOQ = 5 pcs. The combination can be 2 x Item A, 2 x Item B, and 1 x Item C. Since there are three different items, the price for each item will be €500.This means a many-to-many relationship. Multiple combinations of items can determine the MOQ (minimum order quantity), and the associated price depends on the number of different items in the purchase order.Can we configure this scenario in the IFS standard? If yes, how? :) 

Hello,In one of the customer scenarios, when they perform automatic reservations for customer orders, small quantities of a given part number in the inventory are skipped, and the customer order is reserved from the location that holds the full required quantity.At the site-level automatic reservation, Priority 1 is set to the earliest receipt date, while Priority 2 is set to the earliest expiration date. When multiple lots with the same receipt date are available in the inventory, the system reserves quantities from the largest stock, leaving smaller quantities scattered across various locations. This occurs regardless of whether the parts are attached to the handling unit. This customer is not using put-away zones / ranking setup. Is there any way to optimize this behavior without put-away zones ? Thank you,Lumini. 

Bonjour,  Est-ce que quelqu’un sait d’où provient le message d’erreur suivant “ L'objet Part Cum de l'accord fournisseur n'existe pas » lord du rapprochement de la commande d’achat fermée à la facture.  C’est dans IFS Cloud.  En vous remerciant. Cordialement.

HI All,I have an issue in the Rent out process flow.I created a rented out customer order and it delivered to the customer. I started the rental and ended the rental and generated the rental transactions. Then I created the customers return and returned the part in the Inventory.I created the customer invoice and rental transactions are invoiced now. But my rental customer order is still not invoiced closed.I checked all the rental transactions are invoiced. Part is returned to the inventory. No any pending transaction to Invoice.

Dear Community, Amazon Business offer an ERP intergration (they call it punchout) which allow to intergrate Amazon Business function to ERP. That means that user log in to IFS Could, have an Link/Icon which navigate to Amazon Business where user can purchase specific products with business account. Does somebody have experience with that punchout/integration of Amazon Business?Thanks for feedback.regards Sebastian

Dear Community, Is there a way to find the cumulative used cost (for PO line receipts) for non-project connected POs? We can see this for project activity connected POs, where the cumulative committed/used/actual cost will be recorded against the activity. It is strange that this information is not there at the PO/PO line level? The only way I found until now is looking up on the Purchase/Inventory Transaction History, and on the Received - Not yet Invoiced Report. Again these show us the cost for each receipt but not the cumulative.Is there any other place I am missing? Thank you!

Hi. Can I use Transaction Start Date and Inheritance in Demand Planner at the same time ?  for example: Inheritance Start January 2022Inheritance End January 2023Transaction start date January 2023 Will Demand Planner look for inherited data from 2022-2023 ?  

Hello Community, In Project Navigator, Planned Revenue field sums up all Customer Orders connected to the respective activity. Same applies even for connected customer orders that are is cancelled or invoiced and credited. Is there any way to reduce the amount of planned revenue, apart from the extreme way of running the Customer Order cleanup, which will clean all the customer orders for a site before a given date? Thanks in advance,Lauri 

We need to change the project number on several open POs. Do I need to do a change order or can I change it in the Pre-Posting screen (even if invoices have been received against the PO), provided the status on the PO Line in question shows Received or Planned?
