Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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 

Hi, 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.

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). 

Hi,What is the functionality associated with ‘Connected Boxes’ tab in Shipment? Is there any documentation that I can refer to know more about this tab? Seems like this is part of retail extension and will be great to receive some inputs.Thanks,Harini

We’re importing Customer Schedule Forecasts into Master Scheduling.  It’s working but I have a discrepancy I can’t account for. Customer Schedule Lines show a forecast between  2 customers for a total of 3456  Master Scheduling MS Level 1 Part shows a total forecast qty of 3434  Any ideas why these would differ?

How Automatic creation of specified default pro-forma invoice and payment control?

Hi there,I’m trying to get inter site trading working where the sites that trade are in 2  different companies. I can raise and send a Purchase Order from the demand site to the Internal Supplier, this successfully creates a message in the Connectivity Outbox, however, it does not generate an Incoming Customer Order on the receiving site and there is no Connectivity Inbox message generated. I’ve got inter site trading working successfully where the sites are within the same company but not across multiple companies Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, hopefully you will be able to help. We are on apps 8 and my team would like to set up within a PM  an automatic ordering system of parts for vehicle servicing (just to start with more to follow). However, we would like the system to order the parts 2 weeks before the generation of the PM. Is this something apps 8 offers or is this something that can be created as an add-on? thanks 

We’re currently using IFS Apps 9 and using the demand planning client.  I’ve built flows per our largest customer but i’m running into a situation where i’d like to import the customer’s submitted forecast within DP while also maintaining a separate adjusted forecast (so that we can measure accuracy, etc.) I see that customer scheduling is an option for master scheduling, but I can’t seem to find a way to manage a separate adjusted forecast other than manually doing it with scenarios. Another option I’ve thought of is using collaborative forecasting and having the customer’s forecast input as a collaborative forecast.  Am I missing something simple here? Do my solutions make sense?

Hello, Do any of the community members have experience on Extended Repeater Connection in IFS Business Analytics Excel Add-in. I’d appreciate a brief explanation as to why it can be useful and how it is used in practice. IFS Help pages do not cover this topic so if there is any other source to read from, that would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance,Lauri  

Is there a way in IFS Apps 9 to create Purchase orders whereby the supplier document address and supplier delivery address can default into the Misc Order Info tab based on a supplier ID and part no?   On our Supplier for Purchase Part record, we have several parts related to the particular supplier were the addresses would need to be different based on which part is purchased.  I don’t see any linkage on the Supplier for purchase part or Supplier record where this could be configured.  Perhaps some type of custom event could accomplish this?  Any ideas from the group would be greatly appreciated! 

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 Navale

Is it possible to use page designer to create a new context that will allow you to use an adapted source of data?e.g. I would like to create a new context for creating material requisitions where the user is only allowed to select parts from a limited list of part numbers. i.e. only allowed to select parts connected to a certain product family or commodity group.

Hi, I have a customer (Apps10) looking for tree selection option when looking up a part master.   This customer has provided a sample how tree search option should behave  (https://reactjsexample.com/content/images/2018/10/react-dropdown-tree-select.gif).     The idea would be to get to this tree select in a pop-up screen from a button either on the part number select as an alternate search option or on the search pop-up itself as an option for selecting search criteria (see attachment). Has anyone done this type of tree structure search option before?Scott
