Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

HiWe are working in App9 SP11I have a reported problem where we have project demand for a particular part. When we run Project MRP for the project activity, it creates requisitions for other demands on the same activity, but not for this one specific part.I cannot see any issues with the part - it has the same config as for all the others.Is there a log for Project MRP? The background job doesn’t provide enough information. I’m hoping that that there is a log somewhere that might give a clue why this particular part demand is not being processed.

physical count is zero for the specific part, but it cannot be counted out from the system. mentioned error is appearing. appreciate if someone can teach me how to change allocations for a location. 

We are new to IFS Cloud and see that we do not have the option to have a Part Type that is BOTH for Manufactured and Purchased. We wanted to see what method is available to use to be able to drive the Manufacturing of a part, but also Purchase the part when we do not have the ability to MFG at that time.We also want to take into consideration inspecting the material when it is either manufactured or purchased.  Ideally, we would like to use the same Control Plan to inspect the product whether it is Manufactured in house or Purchased. 

Unfortunately we often have parts moved into quarantine to be checked/inspected that remain in that location for an extended period of time.  As we do not know what the outcome of the inspection will be, the availability control is set to not nettable so that the stock can’t be considering for planning.  Unfortunately it does mean that MRP will generate requisitions meaning we could order more parts to then find out items are then released from quarantine and become available.  I am interested to know if anyone else has the same issue and how they manage it to avoid having too much stock.  Is there a mechanism where parts can be temporarily excluded from MRP whilst they undergo evaluation?

Good day, Scenario - an inventory part was ordered on a PO,  and received into inventory (no inspection required). The supplier invoice was since matched/processed and the invoice has been paid. The technician has now realized that the incorrect part was ordered.What is the process in IFS Cloud for returning this part to the supplier for credit? Thank you

Hello,I’m looking for guidance on an issue I’m encountering with PMRP and the use of standard inventory.I have a project configured to use standard inventory and to automatically generate MTRs. The parts involved are within their lead times, and I’ve confirmed that MTR creation should be possible. However, when I run PMRP by Activity for the entire project (leaving Activity Sequence blank), only one activity receives an MTR. The other three activities generate purchase requisitions instead—even though I know sufficient excess exists in standard inventory.If I run PMRP on each activity individually, or if I use a Planned Netting Group, all activities generate the expected MTRs. This leads me to believe that when PMRP is executed for the full project, only the final activity processed is considered for standard inventory availability.Has anyone experienced this behavior or know what configuration or process I might be overlooking?Thank you.Andrew

Hi All, due to auditor requirements we need to create a new supplier when basic data changes (e.g. supplier name) so that the change is not only logged but it is also possible to issue documents with the previous name. However, the problem is that we have hundreds of purchase parts configured for certain suppliers (Procurement > Part > Supplier for Purchase Parts), as well as price lists. Is there a way to copy/paste or export/import these records from the original supplier to the newly created one?Unfortunately, the object copy/paste function does not work in the Supplier for Purchase Parts mask (IFSAPP10). Thank you!

We need to know how to format currency or numeric field values in Aurena client.For example,“Price/Curr” and “Net Amt/Curr” field values in Purchase Order Lines. Currently we have below settings in Aurena client We want to format as per below highlighted format.  We tried in IEE as below and it works as expected. Is there any option in Aurena, we can achieve same results? Please let us knowThank you 

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to show multiple decimals in Aurena. I updated Currency Formatting Options in the settings screen to enable more decimals but the UI only shows 2 decimals unless a user activates the cost fields (on the PO line for example) Is there a way to always show more than 2 decimals without having to select the field?

Hi!Given the recent change in Peppol Business Rule PEPPOL-T76-R008 (An order response with code AP (Accepted) should NOT provide order lines) I am wondering how others relate to this change? Because IFS Apps 10 require all Order Lines in the Order Response to be able to Confirm the Purchase Order. After the change in the Peppol business Rules the order lines is no longer included in a order response with code AP (Accepted). Hence we are not able to Confirm the Purchase Order.Anyone that has faced the same problem? Any input would be much appreciated.

Dear all,  I get a problem on 22R2 when I try to register arrivals of some purchase orders. I get the following error “The update could not be performed since the purchase order record is currently locked. Please retry the operation.”Did you already have this problem and have a solution ? Best regards, Laura

Hey,Issue: Individual repair prices for are not visible in IFS for external repair services.We are using Purchase orders to send out parts for external repair and they are generated from disposition shop orders. I was wondering if IFS has function to upload repair vendor price lists and then pick individual repair prices  and combination of repair (standard repair, extended repair, etc) which would then generate the total cost for repair to purchase order. Is anyone using similar solution and how have you set this up?We are using supplier for purchase part price list for new parts (uploaded with migration from supplier catalog), but repair prices seems to be trickier. We are using IFSAPP10 and moving to IFSCloud next year.

When creating a PR, the delivery address should be automatically filled from the supplier and adjustable by the user. The selected address should then be transferred automatically from PR to PO.Currently, the address can only be written in the Note field, which is not sufficient and causes missing information in the process.Thank youDenisa

How to revert back or Undo the delivered return supplier shipment for Rental Part

Hi,Our customer has an issue with OCI punchout with a supplier. Once the shopping is checked out no parts/lines are transferred from the punchout to IFS shopping cart. I investigated and found out that the JSON message we are receiving(for method Self_Serv_Shop_Cart_Util_API.Receive_Punchout_Response()) is missing parameters UserId, Supplier and most importantly BuyerCookie. The customer confirmed that they are sending these parameters in the POST request as below.  Also I have asked them to change the format as UserId[0], BuyerCookie[0], Supplier[0] just to test it out, but still we get the same issue.It seems the format of the POST request for the 3 parameters is wrong so its not mapping them to the Json message. I could not find any documentation other than what is available here Punchout Catalog - Procurement (ESSPRO) - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud.Is the parsing of the POST request from the customers portal to Json message happening at IFS? if so how can we check this, ju

Dear All,i’m facing an problem in issuing the part to location from maintenance material requisition even though having the onhand qty available. Moreover the Qty of the part is under standard inventory. So, kindly suggest if there is any cause for this.

We have requirement of POCO approval only for delta amount. we are not able Approve the POCO when the delta amount is negative. 

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if Apps10 is compatible with punchout technology for eProcurement? Is there any documentation available on how this can be setup in Apps10?Thanks 

We are under the impression that we have to create one sales part number and a different part number for purchases so we can track our inventory correctly. Is this true or is there a way to use the same part number for sales to customers and for purchase of components that go into top level parts we sell to customers?For example, we buy widget A under part number A001. This part is used in 10 other top-level parts we manufacture. We sell A001 as a top-level part to customers. So, for inventory tracking, we have the sales part A001 in sites 1 and 2 coded accounting group code 30 for Finished Goods. The purchase part A001 we have coded with accounting group code 10 for Purchased Part. It seems we are reserving the purchase parts for sales to customers versus using them to build top level parts for sale.Also, unfortunately, it seems our controller can’t seem to run month end reporting with correct inventory figures since we use the same part number for both sales and purchasing. How can w

Hi all, One of my construction industry customer frequently interact with multiple suppliers, including subcontractors and small suppliers. Each supplier is primarily identified by their ABN, which is a unique tax number. The ABN is stored in the association no field on the supplier page. During the processing of Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Orders, RFQs, Subcontracts, and Manual Supplier invoices, the customer often searches for suppliers by ABN to locate the correct record quickly.We need to do modifications to add the association number to the supplier selection process in the purchase requisition, purchase order, subcontract, etc.. Have any of you had a similar experience? If so, please share your experience or the workaround solutions you adopted. The customer is currently in the established stage with Cloud 25r1.  Thanks Bhaskara

We have authorization rules setup at PR level but when an RFQ is created from the PR, we lose any authorization capability. Regardless of the value agreed, you are then able to generate a PO without authorization. Only the approval step is required but this isn't based on value.In this flow, does the auth have to take place at PO level rather than PR level? Unless theres a setting Im missing, would a CRIM be the solution here?

Hi I am in a situation where I want to perform Inter company consignment movements. Hope an expert can help with this query.One company (Site A) receives consignments from another internal company (Site B). Site A wants to recognize this as Supplier consignment stocks and Site B wants to identify this as a customer consignment stocks.I set up the following data.Demand Site (A) - Supplier for Purchase Part for Site B - Ownership “Consignment”Supply Site (B) - Part is registed as customer consignment stock for the internal customer site A.  When I try the Inter company POCO flow. Internal customer order is not getting created and it gives this error message.Error on Message Line 2. Error Message: ORA-20110: CustomerOrderLine.NOCONSIGNFORSINGLEOCCADDR: Consignment Stock cannot be used when the Customer Order Line has a Single Occurance address.  ButThis works if I am using the Distribution order functionality but I can only use 1 part at a time.Is the “Distribution Order” is the only way

Why is it not possible to quickly sort the Register Arrivals screen in IFS Cloud by Promised Receipt Date, i.e. oldest first? Is there a way for functional users to do this easily, and if not, what could possibly be the reason for this? In other screens it is easy to sort by date, but seems to have been removed from Register Arrivals? 

The Register Arrivals pages in IFS Cloud can’t be sorted by clicking column headers in 23R1. The page didn’t sort in the previous version we were on. My IT Team submitted a case and were told it is never going to sort?  No plans to make it sort in the future. Searching is great, but when our folks have a packing slip and parts in their hand it’s often faster and easier to sort 100 lines and scroll to what you need. What’s the logic behind this page not sorting so I can understand how we’re supposed to use it?

How are users handling tariffs in IFS, both from an internal cost and external pricing standpoint?  For pricing, can prices be adjusted by Country of Origin?  (If so, how do we get the Country of Origin field to populate in Sales Part screen?For cost, is “landed cost” the best way to track it?Thanks all.
