Distribution (CRM, Commerce)

Hi,We have an integration that picks up a XML-file and uses a BizApi to create receipts in IFS 9.Everything works fine in our PROD environment.But in TEST env it behaves very strange. Problem is that the messages are processed and gets status Finished. But no receipt is created.In PL/SQL I have executed the methods that the BizApi uses. Then there is no problem. Receipts are created correctly.Any ideas about this?

I have a report rule to print multiple COPIES of a layout but if the layout is more than 1 page it will print # copies of page 1 then # copies of page 2.  How can I get it to print page 1, 2, page 1, 2?  There is no explanation anywhere about the DuplexMode, PrintConfFileName, SpoolFileName Action Properties  for this Action. I’d like to know if the DuplexMode would be used for this purpose? Documentation on the Report Rule Action Properties is terrible - just some feedback.

Hi,We have inventory parts that are getting written off the books because it is unlikely that we will sell them. However, we keep the parts in-house and just physically move them to a “written-off” location in the building. Instead of removing the parts from IFS stock via a Material Requisition, I would like to “move” them to a new inventory location in IFS that is not reflected on the books. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how it would be processed in IFS?Thanks in advance for any input or advice. 

Is it a bad idea to import NEW distribution orders into IFS via sql insert statements? My gut tells me that it won’t work correctly. I imagine that when you create a Distribution Order in IFS it creates data in multiple tables that would cause issues if I only inserted into the main DO table.  Thanks!

Using IFSapp10 UPD9 with IFS freight Interface.  we have the need to consolidate shipments for a customer.  I am able to add shipments to a consolidated shipment but that seems to be the end of the functionality.  I want one pack list and one deliver id for the consolidated shipment so I can process through one of the supported freight interfaces.  Can this be done?  If so, examples would be great.

We are currently on IFS Apps 10 utilizing the Sales Quotation module.  Does anyone know of a flag to turn off update Sell Price when a quantity is changed or the customer is changed.  Sell Price is considered list for us and is changed on a regular basis.  If we select the wrong customer and flip it to the correct customer the Sell Price defaults back to system default.  Same with updating a quantity. Thank You

Hello Community, I’m trying to apply a fix amount of delivery freight on each shipment. To that, I'm trying to use delivery freiht management. It's working good but I have to check manually flag "Apply Fixed  Delivery Freight" on each shipment. Do you know if there is a standard way to automatically check flag “Apply Fixed Delivery Freight” with IFS standard ? Thanks!Anthony

I am looking to create a quick report or lobby that will help with monitoring purchase expenditure.We have a number of report requests, but am wondering how others tackle this issue?Do you use a different solution outside of IFS? Have you found lobbies/quick reports that are suitable? My initial thought was to use a report based off purchase groups, but one of the issues i am having is spend where no purchase order has been created. I have noticed you can manually add purchase groups to the ‘Purchase’ tab on the supplier record which I could report on from the GL ledger and use the purchase group attached to the supplier but i am unsure of the effect of updating these purchase groups. Does it affect any purchase requistion/orders?Any help appreciated

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. 

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 t

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

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 wha
