Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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.

Hi all,I have a customer who has a requirement to add internal overhead costs to any purchase order : i.e. for a procurement of services or goods (non inventory parts), the  cost will be equal to the PO cost + 10% for internal overhead management (to be distributed in specific accounts in accounting).Is there a specific setup available in IFS to manage this kind overhead (as it exists to manage overhead for inventory purchased parts)?Thanks in advance for any help 

We plan purchase order lines for 8 weeks in the future in connection with the lead time of some part numbers. Somethings the price of the supplier changes during this weeks.For example we plan now for 8 weeks and next week the supplier send a update of the purchase price + 1,-. The purchase department changes the supplier for purchase part per the valid from date but the purchase order lines which have been created in the past are not up to date anymore.Does anyone know if there is an option in IFS to update the prices automatically? Or how we can update the purchase orders lines? 

I want to restrict the account codes available as part of the pre-postings when employees raise purchase/material requisitions.  Although I have created a saved search, I do not appear to have the option to set a default, showing only a few of the options. 

We have a customer schedule that has the call off’s coming into the Inventory Part Availability Planning screen, however we have plan schedules for the same customer that are coming through for part Y but not part X. Part Y and X are on the same customer agreement and all settings that I can see are identical. I have tried in our test system setting up new customer agreement and new schedules but I am getting the same results, therefore I am thinking it is a setting else where in the system but I am unsure where to look, any advise would be very appreciated.  Thanks in advance for any answers

IFS Apps 10 Update 8 When I want to print a Purchase Order, I get the following Error Measage:We use the standard TREX-Report for the purchase order.I don’t found anything in the debug console, that could help me to solve this problem.

We have recently migrated our Demand Plan Server across to a new 2012 server from 2008 and are experiencing issues every Sunday when our scheduled Create Forecast job runs.When the job runs it is overwriting Forecast Values that should be fixed (having already been adjusted). The affected week rolls on each week on the Sunday but is consistently current week + 2, so at time of posting this in Week 46, the numbers affected fall within Week 48.This only appears to occur on a Sunday presumably as our periods are defined as weeks, Sunday - Saturday.Work around in place to rectify the invalid data and case raised with IFS.Just wondering if anyone else here has had similar issues and could share any knowledge or experience. IFS Apps 8, Demand Plan Server

Hi all, Here in IFS10, we have issues with the standard task “Match Invoices with New PO Receipts” when it comes to Inter-Site Purchase Orders. Anyone else having issues with the same, or had? The auto job is not returning any values, but we can do manual matching without any issue.

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 experiences or perhaps there is something we are missing or some

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_BASE'-''-'PROCESS_TYPE'-''-'SUPPLIER_SPLIT_DB'-'NO_SPLIT'-'DEMAND_CODE'-''-'CREATE_FA_OBJ_DB'-'FALSE'-'FA_OBJ_PER_UNIT_DB'-'FALSE'-'WANTED_DELIVERY_DATE'-''-'DEMAND_CODE_DB'-'IO'-

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
