Distribution (CRM, Commerce)

Usually when we have a Child / Parent relationship, the child places the order and receives the goods, but the invoice states the parent name as they will pay and the credit limit is held at the parent for the total group. Is there a way in IFS to have, the child place the order and receives the goods, the invoice states the child name as they will pay, but the credit limit is held at the parent for the total group.

From a Business Opportunity (BO) we create a Sales Quotation (SQ) with the “New Sales Quotation” button in the header.Then I create a SQ Line with a value of 100 EUR and in the linked BO, a BO Line is also created with a value of 100 EUR.Now we have the behavior that when we delete the SQ Line in the SQ, the BO Line is not touched. Even more strange it then the fact that when you create a new SQ Line in the SQ, we end up with 2 BO Lines in the BO, both connected to the same SQ.Anybody knows the business case of this behavior or knows a way to suppress this behavior?With kind regards,Sven Audenaert

I am playing with intersite orders where I have an internal supplier to a sales part in a supply site.  The internal supplier is a separate site.  What settings have to be made to make this automatic from the point of release of the demand site customer order to the PO to the supply site, release and send the PO create the customer order on the supply site and release it??Thanks!  THis is in Cloud

Hi, I wan’t to find the price with the menu “Requets price” for a non-inventory-part/customer/contract.Does it work ?I have no answer from the ERP. Thank’s.Julien. 

We have a simple custom field where users can enter a percentage, i.e., number field restricted to values of between 0 and 100, on our Business Opportunities screen on the General Info section.We want to force users to populate this field before they exit a particular Sales Process Stage - this sounds like the perfect use case for Sales Process Actions?When we try to set this up, we don’t see the custom field on the Enter Data dialog:Can anyone advise how we get custom fields to appear here?I know this was a restriction in Aurena but I had believed it had been fixed in Cloud at least for simple custom fields.

I am trying to set up some data for a demonstration of both intersite and distribution orders.  I have been in several apps 10 demo versions and when I try to release a customer order line with the “Internal supplier transit” supply code, the system tells me that the order line date is not inside supplier calendar.  However, because the supplier is an internal supplier, you can’t add a supplier calendar to the supplier!!! Any ideas???

One of Our end users has incorrectly added the amounts. Then RMA has release and already printed. After identifying the issue now, we need to delete or Cancel the RMA. But the system is not allowing to do so. Please support Thank youKasun​​​​​​​

Salut,est-il possible de personnaliser le corps du courrier Outlook ouvert à partir de l'envoi du courrier électronique de l'opportunité commerciale ? ci-dessous ce que nous obtenons dans la norme :  

In Apps10 Charges were not included in the Order Amounts in the Customer Order. There was an extra Field “Total Gross incl. Chrg/Curr:” In Cloud this field is no longer there, and Charges are now included in the Order Amounts like “Total Net Amount” and “Total Gross Amount”Is there any way to influence this? As this is confusing after an Upgrade from Apps10 to Cloud.   

The Customer Hierarchy does an alpha-numeric sort at levels 1 and 2.  However, from level 3 on there is no sort on the records that appear in the tree.  That is compounded by the fact that it displays the standard 24 records at a time and you have to click show more repeatedly to make sure you can see all the unsorted records to find the one you need to work with (remove, move to another place in the hierarchy, etc.).  Has anyone found a reasonable way to work around this?

Hello,I’m trying to find a solution to manage the confirmation of delivery dates on the distribution orders between 2 sites. Note :From a Distribution Order, we can update the Delivery dates and IFS instantly update dates in the PO and CO. I wanted to use the 'confirm' function of the purchase order to notify on the customer site has taken note of the supplier site’s confirmation. In order to see the changes.But I realize that this one is not suitable, in case of a change of date by the supplier the status of the line doesn’t update only that of the order.Have you ever had this problem ? Otherwise, do you have another suggestion to make me to manage the confirmation dates for distribution orders.

Hi,I have an issue. I need to modify an article (change part number) in IFS SURF. The individual I need to change is already issued on a shop order. I need to unissue this article in order to modify it. The problem is that I cannot unissue the article from the shop order since the “allow condition code” button is enabled for it in inventory part. It is not possible to change condition code once it is enabled and “exists” in inventory part.Is there anything I can do to solve this or do I need to involve IFS support? /F

Hi, In IFS Cloud, the CO lines cannot be Unpegged from its Shop Order and changed to Invent Order when the Customer Order status is Blocked due to the below error message.  However, in the IFS Apps 09 environment, this function is possible where a CO line could be Unpegged from its Shop Order and the Supply Code would be changed to Invent Order without any error message even though the CO is in Blocked state. Does anyone know whether it is possible to change the Supply Code of Blocked Orders in IFS CLOUD environment? ​Thanks!

Hi. Each order Line must be re-confirmed after a date change.Is there a way/setting to stop having to re-confirming a line after the Promised Date is changed.So simply put,  a confirmed line status stays as “Yes”  Thanks. 

Not allowing to GRN (Purchase Order Arrival) an Inventory part due to the error “The value of the inventory transaction may not be 0 for part”But there is a value in the purchase order line. I tried changing Misc part info to “Zero Cost Allowed” then the ARRIVAL got created with 0 value in the inventory transaction history.

In Cloud, when creating a new address for a customer, IFS automatically create 6 address types.  Is there any way to control the types?  We want our Users to be able to create Delivery and Visit addresses, but not Document and Pay.  

In 24R1, on my Business Opportunity Pipeline page, there is a red triangle displayed next to some Opportunities. Do you know what the red triangle represents ?  

Has anyone been asked by a customer that they want to use a WaDaCo transaction that allows them to manually reserve parts to be shipped to the customer order rather than use the automatic reservation oir manually reserve the customer order line. Thoughts???  We are drafting a CRIM spec to do this.

Dear Community, Apart my own doubts, I promised I’d find out.We would have very niche case, where single Work Order / Customer Order (with inventory parts too) would be needed to be shared between multiple (2 or more) customers. Like repair of shared assets.According to the users on Apps9 it was possible to do via Staged Billing, by sharing order to multiple line, invoicing first, and then changing the “invoice Customer” on actual customer order. Currently cloud (23R2) does not allow you to change invoicing customer on customer order when something has been invoiced. Found out doing it other way around by removing invoice customer works, but this seems to be unintended functionality. Is there other proper way to do this, instead of making multiple customer orders and using non-inventory part lines?If I recall correctly, something similar could be done on Sales Contract, but we do not have that module currently. -T

Hi,Save the bookmark with the dynamic filter and not the dates:     

On Sales Quotation Line, I created a custom reference field called Product Structure that will display the Product Structure Revision No and Alternate No. The user is required to choose the correct Product Structure for the shop order as a means of communication to the order processing team.Right now, the LOV shows all product structures for all parts and the user has to manually filter the list based on the sales part. I want the LOV to default the Part_No filter to the Sales Part (CatalonNo) chosen on the OrderQuotationLine. I cannot find a good walkthrough online. Can anyone assist? 

We are using IFS CRM panel for Outlook currently on 22r2 version and we are planning to update to 24r2 version. We have noticed the connected business opportunities are not shown in 24r2 version crm panel even though they are shown in 22r2 version any reason for this?22R2   24R2 

After creating a Business Activity via the CRM Panel using either the old or new Outlook - we have an option to create a linked Business Mail. Recently, our users have notified us that the linked Business Mail gets created but it does not have the body or attachment in it.We have tested this on our end and it’s not working in either of our test or production environment for any Business Mail that is created via the CRM Panel.We receive this error in the first attempt: After the second attempt, it works but the body and attachment is missing from the Business Mail.Has anyone run into this issue lately?This feature used to work. I checked our CRM and SRM Default values for adding the email body and attachment to the Business Mail via CRM Panel and they have not changed.

Hi,We have several people can modify the configurations and implement new UI or workflow. But here is one issue about merge the change. How to make sure one person publishes his new change (From ACP, e.g. Developed from dev environment and imported to test environment) won’t affect the other changes which were published in test environment already? There are several scenarios.A changes CO page in test environment and B imported CO from an Application Configuration Package. After B imported CO page, then C wanted to import his change using another ACP.We tried this, sometimes the changes got lost by over written. So we would like to know a good way to mantain the page configurations.
