Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

I have a ticket in with IFS about this issue at the moment but I also wanted to post it out here to let everyone else know that this is occurring in cloud today. On the IPAP screen there is a column called “projected quantity”. In the past, if you filtered the list on the “all” tab, projected qty would update based off of the available qty - the qty required for the specific order/filter applied. This was the logic in 10 at least. In cloud this does not happen and our buyers almost bought more material because the filter that’s being applied was not recalculating the projected qty.We regularly filter out MRP messages and won’t do the type of filtering that I’m doing below but the reason for filtering out the MRP messages is because it’s just a suggestion, we may move those orders around. The only way to remove the MRP messages from cloud is to delete the messages which we also don’t want to do.Please see my screenshots. IEE previous line projected qty minus demand = current line projec

I have a notification set up to notify next authorizer on Purchase Orders.Does that notify also for change orders?  We are using the full approval for change orders but I am being told they are not getting notified when a change order is out for approval. 

Hi all, I met an issue for triggering a user interaction workflow when clicking Ok button of Order Address Dialog. It is an easy workflow which I attached it.Reproduce steps:Click Operations-> Single Occurrence Address Check Single Occurrence. Click pencil edit button Modify Delivery Address with some not quiet correct address, click OK Click OK for Order Address then error pops up quiet often though not every time. Or the page was stuck in Order Address Dialog.Two scenarios I met:Page was stuck   Error page, I attached the error details.( General: Date = 2026-02-09T16:31:35.075Z Client version = 25.1.5.20251008163646.0 Browser name = Chrome User agent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/144.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/144.0.0.0 )  

When registering arrivals, what is the difference between the Qty to Receive and the Inventory Qty to Receive? Example of fields: 

Is there a way in IFS APPS 10 to specifically link an internal destination to specific part number? That way when MRP or Order proposal runs it will automatically pull in the designated internal destination ID. 

Hi,I am experiencing an issue with the data that is transferred from my product structure to the component parts.I use the Purchase Component Method: Customer order and I want to charge the supplier in some specific parts and for some other purchase parts I do not want to charge the parts shipped.I expected that the product structure linked to my purchase part would influence how the component part is created. However, the expected values are not being transferred automatically.I can manually override the field, but my requirement is to use a combination of both approaches depending on the product structure that is being used.Am I missing a specific setting, or does anyone have experience with a similar setup and know how this can be achieved? Thanks in advance for your help. 

I have a purchased raw part and on the supplier for purchase part record. I added a price list for a new price of the part some time in the future.  However, when I enter a purchase order line for a wanted delivery date beyond the effective date of the new price, the system still displays the supplier for purchase part price from the general tab.  Is that how it is supposed to work?Thanks!

We are moving from Apps10 to 25R2 and we have several searches based on Inventory UoM and Purchasing UoM.  In Cloud, the UoM looks like it is part of the quantity fields but the contains option doesn’t work (example ~BX in Quantity or Purchase Quantity)Anyone have a recommendation on how to search or filter by UoM on this page?

In the Register Arrivals screen, when trying to enter a receipt reference for the receipt of multiple purchase order lines (on the same order, same supplier), I am finding the receipt reference that I enter is being overwritten by an autogenerated number giving each line a unique ID (which is what I don’t want).  Can someone help me with what setting or data point is preventing my receipt reference from being saved?

Hi everybody, when a user wants to re-print a customer invoice was originally ordered by another user. He receives the following error "the invoice has been printed by another user. He doesn't have access to this report (key report 9799)". I read two post on the community that said it’s a bug, is it true ? https://community.ifs.com/framework-experience-infrastructure-cloud-integration-dev-tools-50/re-print-original-from-archive-5034 or https://community.ifs.com/framework-and-experience-101/error-the-invoice-has-been-printed-by-another-user-you-do-not-have-access-to-this-report-6200.If you have a solution, I take.

Hello, I would like to see the received quantity of purchase order lines from the Purchase Order screen, PurchaseOrderLinePart and PurchaseOrderLineNopart. For example, each Part Order Line may be partially received, and I would like to see a reference to the quantity received for lines at any given time from this screen. Is this possible? Thank you!Adam

Dear IFS Community, we have just installed a Demand Planning Server and are experiencing difficulties configuring it according to our company’s requirements. The problem is as follows: We only have these two tables available for selectionand they appear to contain only demand for “SalesParts.” We cannot use “SalesParts” for our company because we primarily sell finished goods based on “ProductStructures.” Our goal for the demand planner is to operate based on “InventoryPart.” Ideally, we would like to calculate demand based on “Inventory_Transaction_History” using selected transaction codes. Is there a way to configure the two views available in the demand planner module, or is there an option to add a custom view so that the demand planner calculates the correct demand for our company?We are on IFS Cloud Release 25R2.  Thanks in advance. BR, Sabrina

Hello,we have a forecast flow all with Model: “EWMA Level”. I have received a manual forecast from a customer, which I have loaded in the demand planner by using a migration job and the external import function of the server. That worked fine. But I then changed the forecast model also with the use of a migration job. In the demand planner the model indeed was changed. But the system forecast was still there which normally is not the case for this forecast model. I grouped all items and changed the forecast model again to see if the system forecast was updated to 0. But this was not successful. Someone any idea of what I do wrong? 

We are running the cleanup of inventory background job daily, we have this set to 0 days before current date so it will clear everything with an old activity date. The job is running each day as I can see that it is clearing out inventory, however I am left with lines that will not clear. These lines have 0 on hand quantity, 0 in transit, are not frozen and the last activity date is prior to the job being executed.  The transaction history for these parts are also showing as old dates.  Is there anything else that would block these lines from clearing when the cleanup background job is executed? Thanks

During Purchase Order Authorization there is an option to enter a ‘Reject Note’.  Logically, you’d expect this field to be an option to add additional context to a reject reason, where the user can give some extra information. At least this is what I’m looking to use it for. However, it seems like after the rejection is processed, this ‘Reject Note’ is not seen within the system. The Reject Reason and Reject Date are both seen in Purchase Orders view, but the Reject Note does not appear to be there. Does anyone know where this goes? Or it is perhaps a bug?

Hi,Perhaps someone can help me with the following scenario (on a productive environment):Initial situation:-The "Create Forecast" job has already been executed for the current period The user creates a new forecast part AND defines a predecessor and sets the "Inheritance" parameter to "YES"→ The forecast is now to be calculated for the new partProblem:In Application 9, the user executed the "Create Forecast" job again to obtain a forecast for the new part Since Application 10, the "Create Forecast " job can only be run once per period (IFS error message: "The period has already been aggregated. Create Forecast can only be run once per period")Question:→ How can a forecast be calculated for the new forecast part based on the previous one?→ The calculation should be be executed immediately, i.e. without having to wait for the start of the next period.

Hi,I’m receiving the following error when releasing a customer order. As I checked, all the structures and the revisions are in the buildable stage.  What could be the reason for this?I’m using APP9  Regards,Tharaka Nawarathna

Hello Experts,Background:Purchase Component Method ‘Customer Order’ is not available for Project Deliverables in IFS Cloud. This has lead us to switch to ‘Supplier Material’ as the purchase component method.  Current Situation:We need to deal with many supplier component parts. If we take once scenario,Supplier material is connected to a project deliverables demand part. (project supply option is 'Purchase') We don't have neither the parent or the supplier material part in stock We receive the supplier material part We ship it to the supplier Supplier receives the part and we receive the parent part from supplierChallenges:Given the amount of supplier materials we have to deal with, the challenges we are having,How can we monitor whether the supplier material has arrived ? What standard functionalities of IFS we can use to ship the supplier material (we have been testing with shipment orders but can we set up the shipment orders/shipments to be created automatically by standard? ie: cr

I am assuming this is not an option but thought I would put it on here for clarification or possible other ideas.Is there a way to add pre posting data on the Supplier Agreement line instead of having to put it on the PO each time we do a release?I wanted to test setting up our monthly utilities on a blanket purchase order and do releases.  But, there needs to be pre posting added to get the posting controls correct.Currently on IFS Cloud 23.R1 SU 5.

Hi All,I am running a flow on a situation where company A is purching a rental asset from the company B. In that case in the Company A there is a PO in the part lines tab to purchase the asset with the ownership “Company Rental Asset”.Upon releasing and sending the PO. Inter company CO is getting created in the supply site which is Company B in my example.But this Customer order line state the ownership “Company Owned” not “Company Rental Assets”. If the demand is coming from “Company Rental Asset” then the supply should also be in “Company Rental Asset” is it? Seems other line data is coming from the interco PO line but not the ownership. Is there a setting known to anyone to control this behaviour. I have set up the sales part as “Sales and Rental” in the Company B. 

Does anyone know how to split supplier allocation in IFS? If I want to give 50% of the volume to one supplier and 50% to another, what needs to change in IFS? how does it behave? Thanks!

Hello, I had a quick question. We are trying to reserve supplier material for a part but we keep running into this error message? Any thoughts? Does this have to do with the inventory availability planning? Thanks.

We have turnkey finished good items that are MS items with MS Demand since they are directly forecasted.  The issue is when these items are purchased, they do not get action messages like MRP items do - MRP Action Proposals.For example - we will order the MS item based off demand.  When the demand changes and the delivery date may need to be advanced, pushed out or if there is no more demand it would need to be canceled, we do not see these messages.We see Early Order, Late Order or Remove order in MRP Action Proposals and would like to see the same messages for MS items.  Maybe there is a different way to set up these items so they are not MS and we can forecast them and see the MRP Action Proposals?  We are in IFS Cloud
