Hi,When we loose a BO and choose a “lost-reason”, we also have to choose a “Lost-To” reason on the BO. We cannot close the BO, without choosing a Lost To reason. We are not interested in gathering that information - does anybody know, if it is possible to simply remove that field or have it fillled in pr. default with a * star icon, as I have illustrated in the example below:   

We have a requirement to capture cost spent for a chassis. for example when you sell a vehicle.you could have vehicle registration cost, PDI, free service, Local Options etc. We need to provide a standard value at the time of customer order creation and spend the same through Manual supplier invoice/Customer Check, Through a PO, and through service module.For Example we can provide a value for vehicle registration and once the registration fee is paid that should be able to enter against that particular chassis/serial.All these parts are serial parts and you do have a serial/chassis number for each. Kindly help me to provide the solution

Hi, It seems that the standard functionality for converting/merging a business lead to a customer results in IFS deleting the lead. Is there some way to stop IFS from deleting the buniness lead? Or another menu where we can still see the lead? Because we want to keep track of how many leads we bring in, and analyze on for example the source. I hope someone can help me on this. Kind regards,Simon 

HelloIFS Apps9 ASN message doesn’t pull enough information out of the handling unit packing structure on a shipment for our customer’s needs.Does anyone use a third party to send ASN messages out of IFS Apps9?We currently have a work round with our VAN supplier but with ever changing demands this is getting more and more manual plus we have to raise multiple shipment for one actual delivery, which means multiple invoices too so we’d like to change this.Thanks Sarah

We are in the final stages of Aurena Apps 10 implementation and I work in CRM and Call Center and I want to make sure we have all understood the sales roles correctly.  If I create a quote or an order, I think:  the coordinator creates the quote/order, but is not responsible for it  the representative is responsible for the quote/order the main representative is the representative’s senior and can override their work the salesperson can be internal (colleague) or external (e.g. reseller)Is this right? TIAKezzia

When I print the Consolidated Picklist from the Shipment for one customer only, this issue occurs on the printout on the place usually the delivery Address is displayed.   However when I check the Customer record, ‘Delivery’ has been ticked for one address ID only. How come I get this error?

I am having an issue where the quantity on my pick list is greater than the sales qty on my customer order line. It is also allowing our warehouse to Report Picking without generating errors. Our Pick List is pulling the Qty Assigned, so I’m trying to find a table or view in IFS where I can see how many the system actually reserved even after the item has been picked and/or delivered. In all the tables I’ve found the values move through the Qty Assigned, Qty Picked and Qty Shipped columns as those steps take place.  Does anyone if there’s a place this information is stored other than the Order Line History Text? We’re on IFS10 UPD8.

Hi, Can anyone kindly share the IFS Service Contract Materials for IFS 10 Apps?

I learned about the Inter-Company setup through the following thread.   However, the invoicing part was missing there. Can anyone help? 

Any comments on the topic what is more convenient for maintaining sales prices in IFS applications: price list or customer agreement ? We need to consider domestic sales and foreign sales (direct and via foreign branch). I see that price list is regardless of the customer while agreement is connected to specific customer. Is it the main difference ? Price List can be connected to customer price group or to the customer. In here customer agreements are used in one company and in the second price lists are used. I wonder what are the advantages of each of the way. It seems for me that price lists are more convenient, as I do not have to enter prices for each customer separately. But I need more arguments to convince the sales department here. Another topic is the need for price update periodically. I need to write some PL/SQL for it but I wonder what should be the source of the data: it could be excel but I prefer the data to be present in IFS e.g. o

We are currently importing our EDI demand from our VAN and creating customer schedules.  We are currently experiencing an issue when creating customer schedules where the part number, delivery address id and the customer are the same but the purchase order numbers are different.  The files coming from the VAN are at two different times.  The customer schedule is being superceded and overwriting the first schedule that has a different purchase order.  We currently have the agreement part setup to use PO information.  Does anyone know of a way to have IFS look at the purchase order numbers and treat the customer schedule as different from the others?

Is there a way to get a snapshot of Customer Order Reliability of earlier months? I want to know if there is an option to see a snapshot of the pending delivery quantity per month end similar to Inventory Value per period. This is for APP9 UPD9

Is there an API call to get the Customer Order Total amount ?Looks like the total amount is calculated dynamically from the sum of customer order line totals. I would like to get the total amount of the customer order into an custom field.

Hi IFS community,  Can you explain me how to set up parts for being able to ship the entire quantity of a case when customer order the full case and not split into each quantity from multiple cases? I tried : To set up the sales part unit with a conversion factor To use the handling unit To use the location group “Pallet” But none of my tests works well, system always split into different cases.  Thank you for your help  Best Regards
