Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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!

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

We have an issue with purchase requisitions where MRP does not consider available qty on other site. We have 2 sites in a company, Let’s say A and B. A is a material-supply site, B is a manufacturing site. So when MRP runs for site A, it does not take qty on site B in the calculation, this generates a lot of mess for us. Please help and thanks in advance

Hello,we are looking into upgrading to IFS10 (current version IFS8) .i have a very basic question: i cannot find the ‘Print Transport task’ option in the Right Mouse Button of IFS10, i read the documentation, looks like it should be under the Right Mouse Button Menu. Can anyone point me to the right direction, if it is moved from right mouse menu...IFS10: IFS8: the option is greyed out but it is there... Thanks 

Hi folks,   I’m running into a weird situation where old collaborative forecasts from the Demand Client can’t be deleted. I’ve tried to delete trolleys, unpublish to specifics folks in IEE, nothing seems to work.  Moreover, I can’t seem to find documentation on how it’s supposed to work - for whatever reason, I recall that running “create forecasts” on the Demand Server should cleanse old collaborative forecasts….but that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening.  Am I off base in my memory? Is there a way to force a refresh/deletion of collaborative forecasts?  

I need to limit the quantity received for each part number. If the PO states (5) I need to prevent someone from receiving (6) if the supplier shipped more than was ordered without authorization. Where is this found? Thank you.

We have posting proposals that are unbalance due to missing information. The problem is, the information isn't as specific as the users would prefer. For instance - we have a posting proposal here, where we have received an invoice but the PO was already fully utilised. Normally that would entail someone logging a change order, but the message is a little generic: This one does have a PO, but there is no balance left so cannot be receipted. Can the message be changed? I would more expect this message id to be ‘NOARR’ NOARR Arrival is missing on the entered Purchase Order(s) or no Invoicing Advice entered.    

I have created a remote warehouse and on my remote warehouse I’ve setup the address to be that of one of my supplier’s address ID.  I created my supplier assortment with parts and refill parameters.  I run the refill parts and I get my expected Purchase Requisition.  I convert that to a PO and I see the Internal Destination ID and my Register Arrival has the default location of my Remote Warehouse, but on my PO I don’t have the delivery address of my remote warehouse.  Am I missing something here?  What’s the point of setting the address on the remote warehouse and it cannot automatically show on my delivery address for my replenishment order?

When customer order is oversea customer, customer need to conduct custom clearance process. In this process, there is requirement to send non-commercial invoice.   Is there any function to print non-commercial invoice before customer order shipping ?  

Hi Community, We are using IFS Apps 9 UD15. Since our Go Live in 2016, we have been living with a Purchase Order layout topic that is causing confusion. When we raise a Purchase Order for Part 123XYZ on Line 1, and the same part is located on a different line, IFS presents it in the following manner:P/No: 123XYZ Line 1, Release 1P/No 123XYZ Line 1 Release 2 This is confusing for our suppliers and third party maintenance network. Other ERP’s that we have used simply sequence via line number and not by Part Number, can this be changed?

Hi All,I am facing an issue while changing the currency in the Purchase Order Change Order window.Let me give you some further details,I have created an Internal Purchase Order (Order Code 4) and had got it released. After releasing i sensed that the currency selected on the header is different than what i want it to be. Then i created a change order and tried changing the currency from “XXX” to “YYY” and then it started showing an error “It is not allowed to change currency when the supplier belongs to an Internal site”.I understand this is a standard error but i need to knowwhy am i getting this error? which setup basically invokes this error? Is there a way to change the currency in such cases?My client is using IFS 10 Standard Applications. Any update would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.Regards,Preetish Gautam Dehury 

Hi,I understand the Line No and Release No works based on a logic but my client isn’t satisfied with it.When the Part Nos get repeated the Line No stays the same and the Release No gets updated.Now, this poses a problem for my client as they have some suppliers whom they send the PO via EDI it has an impact on the EDI report to the customer as the interchange accepts only the individual numbers and discards the duplicate ones.For identification of the same, conditional formatting was suggested and users are okay with it. But when it comes to the suppliers it becomes a problem.Does anybody have a solution for this without customization? Or with Custom fields?I know it can be handled with customization but want to know if the same can be handled in standard.Client is using IFS 10 standard solution.Any suggestion or help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.Regards,Preetish Gautam Dehury
