Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hi All,One of my client is requesting the IFS Demand Planning - Collaborative Forecasting functionality. Demand Planner is sharing collaborative forecast  requirement for one particular base flow related  forecast part with four different key account managers.  Rather getting average of all four, he is more interested about weighting the each individual with a score as shown below.Key Account Manager 1 - 40 % Key Account Manager 2 - 30 % Key Account Manager 3 - 15 % Key Account Manager 4 - 15 %Based on my knowledge it is not possible with current demand planning functionalities. Did anyone had such a customer request before  or  provided similar solutions to customers before? Appreciate your valuable inputs for this.  Thanks a lot Kind regardsChanaka

I’ve a very simple base flow that is also our master flow which contains our current forecast.  I want to take the SKU-level forecasts from the base flow and transfer it to a combined flow that consists of customers demand history effectively allowing forecasting by customer.  I’m using Apps9 and DP Client 4.0.2.22. Using distribute adjustment on a top level does not carry over the seasonal models per product and it doesn’t seem to bring over the sku-level forecast either.  The parameters i’m using are: target: forecast (in the new combined flow) distribution: based on forecast distribute by: part # distribute from: current base flow What am I missing? Is there a way to pull over the aggregate forecast with out doing it per sku? I realize that the granular customer level forecast may render odd but I’m less concerned with that to begin with so long as the aggregate per SKU rolls up to the currently existin

Hello All,I am looking for a demo or may be for some pdf related to the Rough Cut Capacity Plan on IFS 8 or 10.

Hi Members, I have a doubt here:A part has a stocking unit of measure of “EACH”. A case is made up of 12 each. Scene 1: Customer ABC orders 4 eaches, and the order is shipped for 4 eaches. Scene 2: Customer XYZ orders 1 case and the order is shipped for 1 full case. In this situation, the system should ship a complete case and not split it into eaches. Is this possible? How do the parts need to be setup? Is there additional setup need for parts like unit of measure etc. 

We want to work with “dummy” parts that can be used for multiple purchase orders and change the description each time on the purchase requisition. After we transferred the purchase requisition to a purchase order, the description changed back to the original one.Can someone tell me where I can find the setting for this?

Hi All,  I get the MRP message “No Demand Exists” for a part that I have 3 open customer orders for. This should be generating an Early Order message since the shop order has a need by date earlier than the customer order.  An ideas??

I want to restrict some List of Parts for Receiving Returns, is this possible in IFS8 ?

Dears, In a current setup, a Customer Order in site A will generate a Distribution Order to get the goods in site B. Always, Site A will always get these goods from site B.I would like that this process happens instantly, automatically, in a 1 on 1 relation. So each CO that is placed, must generate a DO to get this amount. Example: Customer places a order for 10 pcs at site A. a distribution order is created instantly to get these goods from site B.Seconds later, another customer places an order for 5 pcs at site A. Another DO is created, now to get 5 pcs. How can I set this up? I don’t want to wait on the scheduled MRP. I don’t think there is a planning method which takes each order individually?Thank you!

Dears, I want to peg a costumer order with a purchase order. However, the purchase order is generated by a distribution order. Is this possible? The help function tells me that “Furthermore, only the purchase order lines that can be manually pegged are displayed, i.e., those with the demand code Inventory Order”In this case, the demand code of the purchase order is ‘Distribution order’. Does this mean that I cannot peg? Thank you!

Hello All, I have notice what appears to be a latency issue when users are executing IPAP for any given part. When a user runs a search for any part, there is a 2-3 minute delay before the IPAP results are returned. There do no appear to be any long running calls in the system, and there are no scheduled tasks running. It appears to be impacting any part, and seems to be getting progressively worse. I’m not sure if there is a setting/configuration to check, or if something may be misconfigured. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, Do we have any functional way to change or edit received quantity in  RMA line? Thank you in advance.

Dears, Could you help me out with designing the best flow for this process? We, let’s say company B, buy a part from Company A using the purchase flow. We sell the same article to the end costumer,  with a costumer order. However, when the article is broken and needs repair, the costumer returns it to company B. Company B will send it back to company A for repair, the repaired article goes back to company B and back to the costumer.Articles are serial tracked. Flow: A → B → End costumer → B → A → B → end costumer.I’m struggling with how to send the article back to Company A and receiving it, after we shipped it to the costumer. Thank you!

In the demo Apps 10 system logged in as IFSAPP, I am getting the following information message on trying to release a purchase order that has been created directly without use of a purchase requisition. After clicking on OK, the purchase order is not released, remains in status Planned and the Authorization Required box in the header is checked.There is an Authorization rule on the purchase order (PO_RULE) and on checking that rule the amount on the purchase order is within the release amountWhat are the possible causes for the purchase order not being released and how can this be resolved?

Hello Everyone -I have a user on 7.5 that accidentally Cancelled an Incoming Delivery Notification instead of Approving it. We have tried resending the delivery notification but this didn’t help. When you do a RMB on the Delivery Notification both Cancel and Approve are greyed out and there is no option to “reactivate” or “un-cancel” the delivery notification.Does anyone know how we can reset the status on the delivery notification so that it can be approved so that we can send the invoice?Many thanks for your help!Kind Regards,Leslie

I have created a permission set to grant Projection: PurchaseOrderAuthorizationHandlingIt reveals Procurement -- > Authorization --> Purchase Order Authorization.Data is in there, and it looks good. However upon load or refresh – at  bottom right of the website there is a toaster notification that says “ Person Info Service Failed to load person info “If I look in debugger the logs say “- Failed to load person info”What else do I need to grant to make this work?

Calculating Master Schedule generates shop order req for customer order that has inventory already reserved for it. Customer order requires 50 pcs. We have a lot of 50 already reserved to the order. MS still generates another order for 50, leaving me with 50 pcs after the order ships. Why is it double dipping? Am I missing something? Thanks 

Hey folks, I’ve a combined flow consisting of a bunch of subflows organized by customer.  When I attempt to use the distribute adjustment functionality in the client, it doesn’t pull in all the flows, even if there is forecast or issue history for the flow it’s not bringing in.  The parameters i’m using for testing are: based on forecastdistribute by flowdistribute by periodsource product family xxxxAs an aside, we’re using Apps 9 - distribute forecast seems buggy in general in that sometimes it fails in even calculating a distribution.Is there something with my parameters that would prevent it from blowing out to all flows where a forecast or history exists?  The reason this is an issue is that one of the customers it’s missing is over 20% of our overall business!

Afternoon Everyone,  We are currently in the process of beginning to role out our manufacturing portion of IFS.  One piece we have struggled with a solution is demand generated by a Shop Order.  Currently, our Shop Order is in the planned status but the Inventory Parts as part of the Bill of Materials show up for replenishment.  We do not want this occurring until we release the Shop Order to be completed.  Majority of our Shop Orders (90% plus) are driven by customer demand and may not be released for build until a month after the Customer Order is released.   Does anyone have a solution for this?  Thank You

Is there a standard integration (either CONNECT or CONNECTIVITY) for the Shipment/Consolidated Shipment? Also, will be good to know is if the extension modules have this integration if not in core.  

I have worked with customer consignment, but now trying to set up test for supplier consignment. I can’t find the place where to define that part is consignment part, so in principle how to set up supplier consignment. It would be nice if I can find some help here (IFS10).
