We plan purchase order lines for 8 weeks in the future in connection with the lead time of some part numbers. Somethings the price of the supplier changes during this weeks.

For example we plan now for 8 weeks and next week the supplier send a update of the purchase price + 1,-. The purchase department changes the supplier for purchase part per the valid from date but the purchase order lines which have been created in the past are not up to date anymore.

Does anyone know if there is an option in IFS to update the prices automatically? Or how we can update the purchase orders lines?

Hi, I dont think that there is an option to automatically update the prices in this given scenario. However, you can use the following workaround if it suits you;

RMB on the PO header and click on ‘Consolidated Price Calculation...’. This will update the existing lines with the new prices.

However, its designed to consolidate the order quantities (for the same parts in a given PO) so that it can attract better prices. It will also affects PO reports where it will consolidate the quantities in one line (if its the same part).

Hope this helps.

Hi Marlon, designated standard functionality does not exist as far as I know. An event/action that triggers on the PURCHASE_QUANTITY_PRICE table and updates purchase order lines as per your requirements would do the trick. In case there are more advanced requirements to be expected we at Novacura would resolve it with an App.

 

Best regards/vriendelijke groet,
