Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

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 

Anyone knows how to create the valuation for retention amount on a sub-contract?

Hello Everyone, Is it possible to move reserved material in IFS apps 9 by using some customization (Warehouse will be same only bin location will be different) ? Any suggestion for customization steps ?

We often have cases where we need to duplicate a whole supplier profile and just change the supplier association number. This is done manually and very time consuming. Is there a way to duplicate a supplier Profile quicker?

Order processing type is not working in Apps 10.The batch queue is enabled and running, but when a requisition is created on a part where the PO should automatically be created, the requisition sits at planned.  In IFS 8 the requisition is automatically released and the purchase order created.  

Is there out of box functionality to deactivate supplier. I.e. stopping users to raise purchase order against a supplier?

Hi,   Is there a way in IFS which can put customer order on hold after releasing the order ?   Scenario: Customer wants us to hold the order and not to ship on wanted delivery date after releasing the order. We have NR as a shipment type so whenever we release the order it creates the shipment but    Can we make any setting on customer order which will not allow shipment processing ?         

Hello Community,   We are using Apps 9 UD 15. A majority of our sites are managing and consuming Customer Owned Inventory. Is there a way that MRP can be used to coordinate a PULL system for this inventory?   Thank you in advance.   Regards Ken

Just looking for any “left of centre” ideas or suggestions, please…   We have demand for the same purchased part (same site) from  Projects Projects with purchase req authorisation Customer Orders Shop Orders Material reqs We run PMRP and MRP which generates the necessary reqs but we’re unable to consolidate the supply onto a single Purchase Order.  You can mix Projects and non-project demand onto a single PO but once the req is a project one that needs purchase authorisation you can’t mix with any other POs…   Any ideas gratefully received..   Thanks  

Perhaps I missed this, but I cannot see how to add a subscription to an object in Aurena.   Can anyone provide any help on this? Thanks!  

Please take a look at postion control screen and Pur Req below. I expect that cost center value is mandtory on pur req screen.   Control type C58 may require cost center value with Mandatory. As Pur Req registered,  pre posting sub screen is pop-uped when saving. However, saving transaction without cost cent value could be allowed. After saving, pre posting pop up screen no longer is shownd again. Mandatory rule doesn’t work when Pur req resister process. Is any  setup insufficient?      

Master parts have manufacturers. A number of them have been combined in the real world (either consolidated or bought or whatever). What would your idea be how to generate a new manufacturer and move the ‘old’ manufacturer parts under the new one? Steve

We are notice that when looking in Inventory Part Availability Planning that if we have a purchase order coming in the same day we go negative with demand there is no place that we see it showing up easily. I was hoping to find it in the Inventory Part Availability Exceptions but since the projected amount no longer shows negative it does not show up under the MRP message of Negative On Hand. When using MRP Workbench and the MRP Message of Late Order it does show when there is a PO coming in and has dropped below the safety stock level and when we go negative on the same day a PO is coming in. Not necessarily and easy screen to look at when you are having to look at each part and then decipher if it is just late or if we have gone negative.  I have yet to come across a different MRP Message or screen that we can easily see when we go negative on a part the same day it is being delivered.    We are currently in IFS 9.   

Hi, Due to summer holiday in the company, we have created the Schedule Exception with “day type” weekend for the period of time( two weeks ) in July 2020, as an example see  below for the 13-07-2020. However, we will still like to be able to create PO’s and recieve PO’s. Since our department for goods recieve is not closed. Does anybody have experience with that scenario ? What to do ? Best Regards, Marianne

In our site, we have one part number, for which we use Inventory Part Planning Manuf/Acquired split (50%/50%)   What of course means that 50% of supply is purchased and another 50% is produced   But there is one problem with that parts with Lead Times Differences   Of course, Purchasing Lead time is far ahead of manufacturing lead time.   It entails the thing that we are releasing purchase order much earlier than prodution order   And lets say we have a demand for the date X for 200 pcs. Because of the split 100 of them has purchase requisiton and another 100 has shop order requisition   When the Purchase requisiton is released and SO req isn't then there is 100 covered by PO and 100 uncovered. After next MRP this uncovered 100 pcs is again netted and calculated with the 50% split So on next day we have a 100 PO released. 50 pcs po req and 50 pcs SO req. In total it gives us split of 75% vs 25% instead of desired 50/50   Do you believe is there any way to avoid that, an

Hey guys, does anyone know a smart and automatic way to unattach parts from HUs when receiving a PO via dispatch advice? We have huge EDI shipments which will be received automatically via the Receive_Dispatch_Advice___ functionality, but as far as i have seen in the system and in the code it will only not consider HUs if you receive it to default location. I don’t think there is a setting to ignore HUs when receiving, but would be glad to be proofen wrong here. Does anyone have any experience with this or some good ideas/workarounds? Thanks, Johannes

We use Inventory Valuation Method = Weighted Average (on Apps9) and we receive inventory parts from a PO and we match the supplier invoice and pay the supplier.  Then the supplier sends us a credit. Our Supplier Invoice Consideration = Transaction Based and we would expect this credit to update the inventory value of the part.  How should this credit be processed?  We have never set up any type of “supplier credit” series but maybe this is possible?

Hi Community,   In a similar manner to the question relating to Apps 10 Purchase Order and Project linkage, in Apps 9 Update 15, the No Part Order Line entry has the Delivery Address as a mandatory field. What would be the process to enable removal of the line delivery address? The rationale for this is that we have the head office site and the specific delivery location is at a different site, and the application of two different addresses is confusing to Suppliers. Before UD15 we were able to remove the line delivery address without error. Are we simply restricted to the process of changing the line or header delivery addresses to match?   Any and all thoughts/guidance will be appreciated.   Kind regards

Is there a way to archive or close customers so that they do not appear on any list of values search? We are looking to use the Service Quotation functionality and when opening the list of values we a customer list of 1600. A number of these customers will no longer be active but I cannot see how to set a customer to expired or closed, so that they no longer appear on lists of values.

IFS 8 SP1 Page: Purchase Order Receipt Category: Advanced Search Function - SQL   Hi all, This is my first post on these forums, so please guide me if I’m posting at the wrong area.   Lets say I’m search all deliveries received in >2020. This is thousands of results.  Is there a way to get a list with UNIQUE PART_NO values, where only the first delivery (ACTUAL_DELIVERY_DATE) of the unique part numbers are listed?   I’ve tried:  ARRIVAL_DATE > to_date( '20200101000000', 'YYYYMMDDHH24:MI:SS' ) and UNIQUE (PART_NO) Based on: https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_unique.asp

Does anyone know why this extra line called “Manufacturer No”  would print on your embedded purchase order print out ?    It just started happening for us for all Sites  PO’s  (all lines regardless if part  or no part line)     Thank you
