Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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 

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?

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
