Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Hi, we have IFS implemented in our larger Group companies and are considering now if we will install at some of the smaller sites (average 10 employees).  These are Distribution businesses.   If there is anyone with IFS in use at a smaller company we would be interested in hearing your experiences please.  Thanks

We have a Customer who has various order lead times, for example:Batch of Products A - Day 1 Order for Day 2 Delivery order profile - Demand Time Fence = 1Batch of Products B - Day 1 Order for Day 3 Delivery order profile - Demand Time Fence = 2Parts are defined as SU/JSAI...[Varietal Code]...[Numerical Code]When we Import Demand into IFS we would import by either SU% or SU/MARS%, drilling further down would not be feasible given the number of SKU’s.On the Import Demand Planning Forecast window we have to select the appropriate Date Interval Start Date & End Date.When the start date is equal to Batch of Products A - Demand Time Fence +1 we experience an inflated value for all Batch of Products B. If we run with Products B - Demand Time Fence +2 we lose a days Forecast values for Batch of Products A. I have attached an old test plan, it’s a difficult issue to follow / explain but wondered if anyone else had had similar exper

Hellosearching whether there are any customers having done integration with Esker supplier invoice integration.Esker claims to have connectors with SAP S/4HANA ou Oracle® E-Business Suite, Oracle® JD Edwards, Microsft Dynamics Navision, but also to support flat file based integration and web services based so this should be feasible with eInvoice module.Best regardsOlivier

Has anyone had the issue to where you create a customer schedule but once an EDI for that customer comes in that it completely erases the schedule you created?  Is there any way where the created schedule and the EDI would just combine the amounts for parts together?

Can anyone help me with the Commission Agreement Setup in IFS App-10?

Hi,Has anyone created an event that checks that Pre posting has been added to each PO line when they are released?I have created one that works OK on the PO header, but get the dreaded Mutating trigger when i try to run this on the lines.Thanks,Mick.

On the HELLO purchase request page, I created a purchase requisition. I realized these in IFS interface environment. My aim is to design a page via visual studio and open a demand no material request line when the button is clicked.   I want to add a new record when I click the button in the form I designed in the place shown in the picture  string data= "'REQUISITION_NO'-'961841'-'CONTRACT'-'ROT'-'COMPANY'-'NSKOTO'-'PART_NO'-'BAG ELM 039'-'DESCRIPTION'-'1381988 BAGLANTI ELEMANI'-'ORIGINAL_QTY'-'1'-'UNIT_MEAS'-'ad'-'WANTED_RECEIPT_DATE'-'2020-11-12-00.00.00'-'LATEST_ORDER_DATE'-''-'VENDOR_NO'-''-'USE_PRICE_INCL_TAX_DB'-'FALSE'-'CONVERSION_FAC'-'1'-'BUY_UNIT_MEAS'-'ad'-'REQUEST_TYPE'-'Satınalma Talebi'-'PRICE_CONFIRMED_DB'-'FALSE'-'PART_OWNERSHIP'-''-'OWNING_CUSTOMER_NO'-''-'CORE_DEPOSIT_CURR'-''-'CORE_DEPOSIT_

To all, do you know about option to reserve parts on existing purchase order for project demands (MPL)? This option exists for Customer Orders (CO) giving thus advantage to those using CO in comparison to those using Project (item) navigator MPL options. Thank you in advance

I was wondering if someone has made a migration job for supplier agreements and is willing to share?

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. Indeed I am trying to implement a sales and operations planning process we already preapred planning strcutures and Demand Plans but now we need to check if resources are matching with the demand scenarios.

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!
