Hi ExpertsIs it possible to set PR authorization based on Total PR amount. One of our client doesn’t want authorization to be req. line-wise. Same is required in PO authorization as well.Is there any possibility to fulfill this requirement in IFS 10. Regards

Do you have experience about Purchase Order Change Order, I just took a first look on that and would like to hear for what purpose it’s used and what are the benefits to use it, or is it so that it’s created automatic when some changes made in PO, so it’s more or less like information. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi GuysHope you are all safe and well,  Im after some advice on how you are setting up suppliers on the system that you would need to send parts to (for coating etc) and then receive them back in before they go out again?So for example a supplier is set up on IFS and I need to send a part to them for coating, how would you currently do this so it reads in IFS where the part is etc?

A Purchase Requisition with a No-Part line was created from a Project Demand. It is fully authorized (Authorization Required not checked) but has the RMB menu option “Requisition to Order” on the Purchase Requisition Line  greyed out (inactive).PR status is Authorized. . The project has another demand fully processed without problems.The Requisition to Order on the Advanced Popup Menu Options is checked.Any ideas what could be affecting the activation of the “Requisition to Order” menu option?

I have created a crystal report version of  the PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP for our purchase order print.  However in the PURCHASE_ORDER view there is a field called NOTE_TEXT. We want to print this field but it isn’t available in the PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP view. Is there a way of adding this field to the crystal report? I initially created a link between PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP and PURCHASE_ORDER by creating a join between the ORDER_NO fields but the NOTE_TEXT comes back blank  when i run the report the through IFS. However when i run the report in crystal outside of IFS the i can see the NOTE_TEXT displaying the data.  

I have scenario were the I want to generate sequence number based transaction i.e when when adding the line to PR sequence number to be generated automatically and for other PR sequence should again start from 1 again

HelloDoes anyone track their Global Location Number in IFS?    I can’t seem to find a place /field for tracking this so just wondering if others are requiring this as well and perhaps I’m just missing it?     Are old ERP system had a form dedicated to its input so find it strange I can’t locate a field for this in IFS under Company or Site . Thank you

Curious to know what are the major changes on the way how PO Charges are distributed in App10 compared to older versions?

Hello Community,I need to send one quick report output to management as email at the morning 9 am.Please help.

I’m looking for a way to show RFQ for Supplier Comparison, side by side view.ie.                Supplier A | Supplier B | Supplier CItem A           10.00                9.5                 11.00Item B            5.00                  6.0                 4.500 This is easier to view the items and the supplier and easier to decide. Have anybody done this? Thanks. 

Hi,On MS Level 1 part, we have recently amended our Forecast Consumption rules to roll out from drop, with a forecast window of 7.The first two lines dated 28/10/2020 and 29/10/2020 are actual orders that have been picked, but not yet shipped off our system. We then show a quantity of 1on the 03/11/2020 in the Forecast 1 column and the consumed forecast column. This forecast was not showing on schedule, so I assume IFS has added the forecast into the Forecast 1 column? Is there a reason for this? Also, it is showing as consumed and I am unsure why when the actual demand’s are in multiples of 4?We then show a quantity of 3 in the Forecast 0 column. However, this was a 4 on schedule. Is there a reason why this will have pulled through to MS Level 1 as 3? This is also showing in the consumed forecast column, again unsure why when the actual demand’s are in multiples of 4?Thanks.

There is a requirement to disable the future dates in a calendar on a date data field. I didn’t find any method regarding this in the internal documentation.Is it possible to achieve this using IFS control?Could anyone please assist me on this.

Hi. When I want to add virtual space, the following screen appears. Is there a solution?“This Logical unit cannot have Custom Fields”  

I’m trying to put in a shop order for 100 units of a final assembly which uses 1 each of a component we receive from another location within our own company. Because the component is used in multiple assemblies, and 20 were already on order for a different final assembly part number, the shop order is only driving a distribution order for 80. Those 20 were already allocated to another project, but that association is only through a note, and there is no way to assign parts acquired through a DO to a project until they are received at our site. We need 120 components total for 2 different final assemblies but IFS sees the 20 already on order as available units and is therefore not demanding the correct quantity. Is there a way to change the quantity of a Distribution Order to correct this shortfall?

We have different manufacturing companies in IFS that are individual legal entities. We also have sites that fulfill customer orders from other manufacturing companies but do not manufacture themselves (distribution site). How can we keep fulfilling orders from the distribution site yet realize the gains in the manufacturing site P&L? Is this setup possible in IFS? If yes, how should we setup our companies and sites?

Hi,I have a question about the field Buyer (buyer code) on the Purchase Requisition Lines. When I release a Customer Order, it automatically creates Purchase Requisition Lines for the Sales Parts that needs to be purchased. Sometimes the Buyer Code on the Purchase Requisition Line is the Buyer Code connected to the User that releases the Customer Order. But sometimes the Buyer Code on the Purchase Requisition Line is het default in the system: IFS APP. This even differs on lines generated from the same Customer Order (see the screenshot below).I cannot track down why the Buyer Code sometimes is the default and sometimes the Buyer Code connected to the user. Does someone know how this works? The ideal scenario is that IFS always fetches the Buyer Code from the User releasing the Customer Order.Besides, it works the same when creating Purchase Requisitions from a project miscellanous demand or from a Shop Order.See the screenshot below as illustration. We are on APPS10 Update 7. 

Hi, we have a combination of component subcontracting (supplier material method) and customer order direct. A finished good X is setup as part type purchased with a BOM containing semifinished good Y. Semi-finished good Y is manufactured internally and sent it to our subcontractor on occation, who has it on stock (remote warehouse - picking location). When we receive a customer order,  we send a pegged PO to the subcontractor, who produces the finished good X and sends it directly to the customer (sales part has sourcing option “Primary Supplier Direct”). However, when making “register direct delivery” on the PO, the system only delivers the finished good X. It does not backflush the semifinished good Y at the remote warehouse (eventhough backflush is set up at the product structure). Any input to why or what could be missing? The backflush works fine as long as the sales part is not setup to sourcing option “Primary Supplier Direct”. Is the “register direct delivery” not connected to

Hello, Is it possible to have a template PO with lines that can be used to create PO’s? We are wanting to do this for the ordering of stationary, cleaning products etc. The template can then be brought up, easily change the qty required and send to the supplier.Thanks Sarah

Hi everybody, Is there any way to automatic approve the purchase requisition line if the requisitioner and authorizer same person? Thank you!

Has anyone been able to limit the document classes available by user based on the group they are in and attached to a document class.  For example, if a user only has access to 2 document classes than they only see 2 available to select from.

We are in the process of implementing consignment stock internally across companies in IFS9. We have come across one or two features in IFS which makes me question whether the system was designed to handle this scenario. Is anyone working in this way in their environment and willing to share experiences?The setup is as follows.Demand Site - Site A/Company 1. Supplier for Purchase Part set to Ownership Consignment, purchasing from Site B Supply Site - Site B/Company 2 -  Customer Consignment Stock for customer (Site A)When we create and release a distribution order, the Ownership setting on the Supplier for Purchase Part is ignored, and the ownership is set to Company Owned. We can however update this manually.The Customer Order linked to the distribution order is created with the Consignment flag checked automatically.If we set the Distribution Order to Automatic Receipt, it does not perform the receipt if the Ownership on the PO is Consignment. 

At the site level, there are many “shortages” for parts.  But when I query for all parts in this module I receive only 4.  I do notice that in Inventory Part Availability Planning these 4 parts have the “Shortage” column.   The system parameter Shortage Handling is set to Yes. The Shortage Notification check box must be selected, has been selected for all active Inventory Parts in the “Misc Part Info”.     Is there a “Job” that needs to run that moves the information to the Shortage column, so it can be viewed in the “Inventory Parts with Shortages”

Is there a way in Apps8 to create one customer order from different sales quotations  ?
