Hi All, We are trying to figure out a solution for the following scenario when we reserve inventory for a shipment. We have multiple warehouses under one site. We ship all product for a shipment from one warehouse. When using the RMB Reserve on the shipment, IFS reseves material from multiple warehouses within the site. We would liek to restrict the reservation for a single warehouse within the site. Is there configuration that can help us achieve the same. We are on Apps9. Thanks. 

Business RequirementsThere is a business requirement to automatically allocate inventory in the order of "date of manufacture".The "date of receipt" is different from the "date of manufacture" to some extent, although the "date of receipt" is supposed to be received in the order of manufacture.We considered specifying "date of manufacture" for "expiration date," but since "date of manufacture" is basically a past date, it would result in inventory that cannot be used for allocation.I would like to know if there is any feasible way to do this.

Hello, I have a strange behaviour of function Transfer to Project Inventory. Sometime, the function does not offer/show its dialog window. I need to transfer from project inventory to different project inventory. User A:Warehouse Management\Quantity in Stock\Inventory Part In Stock part ID: 1234, available Qty > 0 project: PROJ001, PROJ002,.. (user is member of project team) function Transfer to Project Inventory is available → the function DOES NOT show the dialog window the same part (part ID: 1234, available Qty > 0) no project, it is standard inventory → the function DOES show the dialog windowUser B:the same conditions like user A → the function ALWAYS DOES show the dialog window

Hi , Could some one please explain how to setup automatic customer order reservation in IFS Cloud, for the below scenario.Our handling units are stored in 5 levels (Tier A,B,C,D,E) A is the lowest and E is the highest.We have divided tiers into 2 zones (C,D,E as highest zone and A,B as lowest zone). Standard size of Handling unit is 22 cans(18 ltr each).If the customer order qty is 22 cans or multiples of full qty of handling units, system should reserve pallet from highest zone with the earliest expiry date ie. from C or D or E based on expiry date. It is easy for a picker to pick full pallets (handling units) from upper levels using a forklift .If the customer order qty is 5 cans (less than full qty of handling unit), system should reserve cans from lowest zone with the earliest expiry date ie. from A or B based on expiry date. It is easy for a picker to pick few cans from the lower level than climbing up and picking.If the customer order qty is 47 cans( 2 full handling unit and 3 pi

Hello!Is there a way of creating a Purchase Order with a direct delivery without use of a Customer Order using the supply code ‘purchase order dir’? Ideally would just like to create a manual Purchase Requisition and select order code 2 but IFS apps 10 seems not to allow this.  Scenario is, need to buy one part number from supplier A and have goods delivered to supplier B who would then deliver to us under another part number

Hi Team,I am a beginner in Custom event and would like an example on how can I update a field inside the Business Opportunity table (source Id for example) once the opportunity is closed .I believe I must use BUSINESS_OPPORTUNITY_API.Modify_ but not sure of the syntax/ code inside the Execute Online Sql custom event.Thanks  

Context : My client sells services to his customers (so non inventory parts). Following an absence or a lack of service, the customer can ask my client to make appear a line with negative amount in the invoice. How can I achieve that with IFS using Customer Orders ? I saw that the system is built in a way that the quantity and the price in the customer order line cannot be negativ, is there a way to change that ?If not, I read other posts and for example the use of Campaign/Sales Promotions Functionality does not fit this case. So, two options could work but your ideas might enlighten me:1/ I think that IFS is built in a way that I should use discounts in order to do what I want and adapt it a bit. However there are two things I could not fix yet : my client does not work with % and I could not be able to enter an amount, I want to see an additional negativ line in the invoice.2/ I manage to do what I want using the tab “Charges” in the customer order. You can enter negative quantity,

Hi,Do we have any experience with building an integration between IFS and UPS?UPS has some API’s available, which will facilitate automatic creation of shipping labels in their system. Information is sent from IFS (shipment, I suppose) to UPS system, in order to avoid manual retyping of the information (addresses, specific shipping information).DHL and TNT have similar connections available.Any feedback would be appreciated.BR,Pasi
