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 a

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

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

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”

Accoding to current legislation EORI numner will be effect in UK from jan 2021,  DOes anyboby has an idea where we can save the EORI number on customer.  Will IFS be giving any patch for this?  DO we have to use Note or a custom filed? Informtion on EORI number ( according to Gov.uk) -https://www.gov.uk/eori“You need an EORI number to move goods between the UK and non-EU countries.From 1 January 2021 you will need one to move goods between Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) or the Isle of Man, and the EU. You may also need a separate EORI number if you move goods to or from Northern Ireland.If you do not have an EORI, you may have increased costs and delays. For example, if HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) cannot clear your goods you may have to pay storage fees.”

How I have to set up, that the supplier could see the attachement on the Purchase Order Line in the B2B Order Management for Supplier - Order Details? 

Hi,I know there is a minimum stock value on the Inventory Part, this is the Safety Stock. But is there also a maximum stock? A simple example:When the inventory quantity of a part in stock is zero, and the maximum stock is 10. IFS should suggest a Purchase Requisition after MRP with a qty of 10 pieces.

Is it possible to turn off purchase order change orders so a change order is never required, regardless of authorization rules?

Has anyone used a view other than External_Invent_Part_Issue_Pub or Internal_Invent_Part_Issue_Pub to define a Base Flow. We would like to use something like CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN_CFV to utilize some custom fields. To date I have not managed to use any view other than those suggested in the Base Flow wizard. Any comments most welcome.

Is there a way to make a Supplier Payment in Advance of the goods being received and which can subsequently be matched to the invoice when the goods are receipted?  There are very limited instances where this is required to be done, nevertheless it would be useful to know if there is a way it can be done in IFS to mitigate the manual monitoring required to confirm the goods have been received after payment.   Many thanks in advance.

Is it possible to freeze a given forecast within a specific window out of the box while allowing a horizon in the future adjust whenever ‘create forecast’ is run?  Does the lead time factor into this within the client or is it just another data point? I’m aware that i could go item by item, toggle the padlock and then move forecasts per period one by one, but it’d be great if they could be locked and the standard ctrl, shift, drag functionality would work. I’d like to use the metrics within IFS so i can compare a lag-1 or a lag-3 forecast’s accuracy/bias/adjustment factor/etc.
