When we are creating a generic event action and event action for a particular user to send an e-mail with a PDF report, is there any rule on what event will be triggered first? Does the system prioritize the event action which has “user” over the generic event action?

Is it possible to schedule this routine in Apps 10? Best-Christy  

We recently realised that when PO had change processed due to price increase and PO was updated to new price; receipts that were created prior to this change but not matched to an Invoice are updated to new price as well.Is there a setting anywhere so I can turn that off, we have issues where we order in bulk but the price changes and sometimes there is a lag between the goods arriving so we would need to receipt them at the old priice  

I have a request from the AP team to have a pop-up message if particular suppliers are used in the manual supplier invoice entry screen.We have some suppliers who give settlement discounts, based on the type of invoice/product or service purchased so want to make sure the entry clerk follows those instructions.Is there any functionality in IFS that already does this? Am assuming at the moment, that I would need a custom logical unit which had the supplier identity and message required, and then an event would be needed that checks on the lu and if it finds an entry its displayed. Am hoping there is an easier way to achieve? 

Hi,I have a report (OutsideOpDeliveryNoteRep.rdl) that get the information from a table that I can’t find in IFS just in SQL (outside_op_delivery_note_rep) is it possible to get a value from a table that the report does not use? 

Can we add drawings (e.g. specification) in Parts so that we check them while raising Purchase Order and also send them along with Purchase Order to Supplier? 

When You make an update in IFS through an excel, is it the possible to overwrite the currently filled value? e.g. We are working on an excel to update the Customs Stat No in the part number records in IFS. We plan to upload the excel in IFS and thereby update the Customs Stat No for all parts in IFS. For the new value from the excel to be updated on the Customs Stat No field in the Inventory Part, does that field has to be empty in IFS? Or can the excel’s Customs Stat No overwrite the old number?

Time is not of concern for us; therefore, can the display of Date columns be changed to only show the date and NOT the time?  Thanks in advance. 

Hi,Currently i'm facing some problems to setup the Country of Origin functionality correct for a Customer of mine.Country of origin can be setup on Inventory Part and Supplier for Purchase Part. Only 1 Country of Origin can be filled at the Inventory Part and that information is then fetched to the Country of Origin of the Supplier for Purchase Part.No i'm with a question where i can't find the Best Practise from IFS perspective.How do i have to handle the Country of Origin in the Inventory Part when a specific part is always purchased at the same supplier, but it's produced in China, Taiwan, Indonesia for that Supplier.So the goods are delivered from the suppliers local warehouse in Europe to the demanding site in Europe, but that Supplier warehouse is supplied by the different factories in the different countries.(i can't define upfront where the goods will be produced when the order is placed to the supplier)How do i handle this in IFS, what is the best practise to setup the Country

Hi all, Business has requested a report of our stock on various locations as per 31-12-2020.Is this available and where in IFS can we extract such report?

Hi,We recently went live. I have a problem with a part, the UOM was set up incorrectly. This part is currently in stock, and has being transacted. I need to:create a new part with the correct UOM  transfer the inventory from the incorrectly created part to the new part and finally deal with the incorrectly created part, i.e. make it obsolete or phase out, what ever the correct process is. What I need is a clear process to do this. Can anyone help?

Hi, In our warehouse, the amount in stock is of a part is a number with decimals. The UoM of this part is PCS, which is defined as an integer.The decimals are caused by an invertion factor on the sales. The client order a volume, but we fill this volume with pieces. The client can order a non-rounded number, e.g. 2.4L, which then converts to 13.4 PCS (for example). However, we never ‘cut’ the pieces. In this case, we will supply 13 pieces. Or 14, that actually doesn’t matter that much. But how can we avoid that IFS displays the not-rounded number? Thank you!

Dear Team, Kindly support to fix issue as attached below:  Thanks in advance! Regards,Ashok

Can anyone suggest how can i install demand plan Server and Demand Plan Client application in my local machine?

Here’s the scenario that I look for IFS to accommodate … thanks so much for the help!!!A buyer creates a PO … that PO # is provided to a vendor and they then use that same PO number for a specific time period for requests made from a person external to IFS. As this external person emails the vendor with requests (referencing this standing PO) they also copy the buyer who adds the item(s) to the PO. The buyer has the lines received once the vendor confirms the order. As the invoices arrive, the available lines are matched and paid by AP. The lines could be “free form” or with part numbers. My ask - Does IFS have a function to leave a PO open until a buyer closes it at the end of the specified time period? … adding, receiving, and invoicing items from that same PO over time.

Has anyone managed to request or create an overview screen for the Approved Supplier List? We’ve created a lobby metric and would like to navigate to the ASL from it. The problem is that the data exists on a line level while the ASL is a form view. Navigating to it attempts to open the header, which does not contain the line level information. That in turn creates an error message for missing fields. An overview would contain both, but the screen doesn't exist.

Hi,I would like to force the amount including VAT of a purchase line to an amount without decimal point but I can't do it.e.g. amount “price/curr”: 205 / tax: 18% (tax amount 36,9) => amount incl. VAT: 205 +36,9 = 241,9 => I want to display it 242 e.g.It’s not possible on the PO line, but Is there a way to display this total amount without decimal point? (it's possible on the supplier invoice but my need is really on the order directly).

Hello, We are trying to electronically manage Customer-Owned inventory. Currently we use a manual Kanban card to trigger reordering. Does anyone know a way to utilize MRP to trigger Purchase Requisitions for Customer-Owned parts? According to the help page for Part Ownership>Planning section, it is not possible, but I wanted to reach out in case someone has figured out a method of success.Part Ownership Help Page:   Planning Planning is available only for company-owned and supplier-owned supply, demand, and inventory.

When handling purchase reqs generated by Purchase Order Dir sourcing, how do you transfer the order code ( 2  ) from the req to a purchase order?  I want a header level indication a purchase order is a drop shipment.  I’m stuck.

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
