Is it possible to preset the system that it first creates requisition and not directly purchase order for Internal Supplier?

Hello community,We are using IFS version 8Are there available documentation regarding MRP(Material Requirement Planing) for Supply chan module from IFS?something similar as “ MRP instruction from Customer order to purchase requisition“Would like to understand better its capabilities. Thanks in advanceDeepak

Hi, I'm preparing a warehouse demo for customer on APP10 UPD10.Inside the demo, I will set the "Stardard Putaway Qty" to 3.And set the PO Receive Qty to 5.So, I think when I perform put-away,IFS will cut it to two trasnport task1st: qty-32nd: qty-2While, it is still only one transport task.Is there anything I missing?(I already set the storage zone for the inventory parts.)  

Hello, Are you able to disconnect a PO from one activity and connect it to another activity within a project? We would close the PO and create a new one but the PO has already been sent to the supplier. 

Question, if you’re receiving customer schedule forecasts from Customers but they are for parts that are not Master Scheduled, where does that schedule go after releasing the schedule.  I see the Demand Line in Inventory Part Availability Planning with a status Planned.  But how do I clear that?  MRP is planning for this.  Typically when I import that into Master Scheduling, I no longer see the demand type of Customer Schedule Forecast, but for this case where I am not MS’ing this part, how do I clear that?

I want to know if it is possible to have one incoming customer schedule (DELSCH) through EDI that has multiple part numbers that get parsed out into their own incoming customer schedules. I see the XML Schema allows for multiple Article Lines with a Part No field and the Demand Lines also have a Part No field. When I tried to do this however, I get multiple customer schedules for each article line with the demand lines duplicated across all of the schedules.

Dear All, Does anyone kow if it possible to make the fields in Miscellaneous ready only when you create a new Application for payment fot out a sales contract? Can this be done in the persmission sets? My idea was disable some with APi.new but then i'm unable to create them or it has no effect. Anyone an idea?  

We are on Apps 8 and use the Sub-Contract function.  However, having created a revised template containing approvals, we cannot understand how the sub-contract can be activated when it has not previously been ‘Reviewed’ which is the step that precedes Activate.  It’s as if the approvals have no impact on the activation of the sub-contract.Has anyone else come across this and if so, is this a bug or standard functionality?Thanks in advance for any assistance.  

Trying to ‘automatically’ print PDFs to Send PDF to Connect printer for the Route to Connect action.  I already have several rules set up for either email, printing to printers based on Printer Definition etc and want to have a Route to Connect rule that will automatically select the Send PDF to Connect printer without the user having to do it and without messing with any other printer options required for other printing options.

Is there anyone who have experience from product structure with connection to supplier and for what kind of processes and scenarios it’s used? We have scenario to solve where certain products we need to use component from defined supplier, same code is used for other products. Is it possible by connecting supplier to bom?

Hi everyone, we’d like to use the Supplier schedule agreements, Supplier schedules and Call-off for the procurement of some of our products but I can’t find any kind of “usuer’s manual” on this topic. Can anyone help ?

Since I am not so strong in SQL, I tried query builder to come up with a report with the below columns for Inventory parts Part NoPart Description Site = X only Created Date (on or after 1-1-2020) Has 5 or more transactions “ Primary supplier for the purchase part”  with Supplier name and supplier ID (2 columns)  However, for the number of transactions column I am facing a challenge since there is no view for me to chose in query builder. So I omitted that column, but still need the report sorted for parts with only for 5 or more transactions.  How should I do? an advise  with the right SQL statement would also help. 

We are running Supplier Ledger Open Items - Order Report to see all the supplier ledger open items and as a result, it is showing us open items from an account that is mapped for Inventory Item POs but we are not seeing any open items for Non-Inventory PO account even when we have open items. Does the Supplier Ledger Open Items order report include non-inventory items Purchase Order’s as well ie., No Part Order Lines - Purchase Order? or does it just give us Inventory Open Items?

We have a situation where we are required by a supplier to purchase in full case quantities but the PO has to made in quantities of each in the full case increments.  We want to inventory and sell these parts by the case.  There is functionality in IFS to buy by the case and inventory/sell by the each.  But we cannot find anywhere where we can do the reverse, buy in each, inventory/sell by the case.  Does anyone know if this possible? 

Seeking confirmation that Route Planning works for Day of Week and not Day of MonthAdmitting that I’ve never used Delivery Route functionality and now have a need to set up day of the month shipping day for Customer Orders.  I can see that a route to set the delivery date to a particular day of the week is supported but wondered if there were some configuration tricks to allow eliminating weeks of the month from the shipment scheduling.We don’t have a Customer Schedule to release against, orders just appear during the month (usually on the same day of the week) and we want to try consolidating deliveries to once a month (basically ignoring the customer’s request date and moving them to once a month on the same day (e.g. third Thursday). 

Hi experts out there,hope that everybody is fine, healthy and stay at home? :-)Again we are developing a BI solution for a german customer.These weeks we’ve done a POC (proof of concept) with Purchase Data.No problem to create a FACT_Purchase_Order_Lines(POLs) conected to the 3 different (aggregated) RECEIPT tables. We build the STAR Schema and now we see all the POLs with detailled information from Supplier and Purchasepart.Now we want to see - say PO 1000, Pos 1, Part A, orderd for QTY 100, Amount 1000€ -what kind of Supplierinvoices are there on the “incoming” side.It is no problem to create a standalone FACT_Purchase_Invoice_Lines based on INVOICE_TAB (PARTY_TYPE = ‘SUPPLIER’) and INVOICE_ITEM_TAB.In the manual supllier invoice are some interesting fields, we checked out in the INVOICE_ITEM_TABPARTY_TYPEPO_LINE_NUMBERPO_REF_NUMBER    Alias PO Ref:PO_RELEASE_NUMBERand see

Hi, How to handle best way in IFS10 (up3) customer consignment scenario where products will be invoiced right away when those are moved to consignment (ready from production) and then deliveries from call off? We are using consignment stock functionality already, but I couldn’t find the option to use it that way that invoicing in delivery not based on consumption. Other case in same topic is scenario that we manufacture sub-modules and we invoice those from customer. Products stays in our stock and we will then use those in our production to part of end products or we send those to customer as a spare parts. All help welcome! Br, Mirja 

How can we automatically include a message on Customer Order Confirmations by Company?.  One of our companies is having a price increase.  They would like a message appended to each Customer Order Confirmation alerting customers of the price increase.  We are looking for an automated solution that is either company or site specific.  Since this is a time sensitive message, we would prefer not to modify the report to include the message.  We don’t want to depend on Customer Service to manually include the message.   We are looking for a flexible way to include time sensitive messages on customer documents.      

Hello Everyone,I am having trouble with the inventory transfer between sites in the intersite process.This is the scenario: Site A manufactures the part and transfers it to site B. The basic process is working, I can move the inventory with a custom order. But, this results in an accounting error in the inventory transaction history, because the inventory part in site A has a different value compared to site B.Is it possible, to automatically update the cost of the inventory part in site B?Thanks,Golo

Hello, I’ve started receiving warning messages when MRP completes. It is referencing several parts with the following message, “The part XXXXXX is not active for the supplier XXXXXX”. I have checked the Purchase and Inventory part status for the parts. I have also checked to confirm that the supplier is listed on the PP.All of those settings appear correct, and I am not sure why the message is still being generated or what specifically is not active.Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I am looking for Customers who have an interest in using ESL (electronic shelf labels) integrated to IFS in their Warehouse.  Maybe you have already integrated to such a system already?Are you looking to move to a paperless warehouse or maybe to improve the management of your assets with Electronic Labels?  ESL’s can provide visual information and real-time updated information and business value.  Their use can provide CSR value by reducing the use of paper and they have many aspects for more efficient warehouse management.Have you ever considered the use of electronic shelf labels integrated to IFS Applications/IFS Cloud.If so please let me know (janet.apollo@ifsworld.com).Thank you

Can the report Received – Not Yet Invoiced  contain zero value (cancelled) lines from a PO? We obtain the report periodically, the strangest thing was these lines were not in the previous report, but in the latest report we have them! 

Does anyone use a different planning tool other than the APB?  If yes, what tool and did you integrate it with IFS?

Hi, For a few of our suppliers we need to add a document text on the Purchase Order. This information needs to be added every time. That is why we want it automatically shown on the Purchase Order when one of the few suppliers is selected.We have set a document text on the supplier, but don't know how to implement that field on the Purchase Order lay-out in Report Designer.We used this functionalityIn Report Designer I think this is the the field we need: But I cannot drag that field on the lay-out. I only get the invalid cursor as shown below.

When a Distribution order is created and released, the Customer Order is created in SITE A and the Customer Order Line default’s to a supply code of Inventory Order.  Even though the Sales Part in Site A has a default supply option of Shop Order.  Is there a way for a CO Line connected to a DO to have a supply code of Shop Order without using a some sort of Custom Event?
