Hello, I would like to automatically reserve all available shipment lines/shipments for shipment orders. I have done this for Customer Orders where I automatically reserve lines via a database task (I have it scheduled to run every 2 minutes), but there doesn’t seem to be any database task that can achieve the reservation for shipments. The reservation button for shipments is a projection action called StartShipmentMainSingle for the ShipmentHandling projection. Since you can’t schedule projection actions as database tasks, how can I achieve this? Any and all advise/input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Bryan

CLOUD 24R1 Scenario: Prerrequisites: Handling unit type with packaging material part associated and ‘Reusable’ option enabled. Go to the Inventory part in stock and select a part that has not handling unit connected. Select the option to Pack according to Handling unit Capacity and enter the quantity to pack for an specific Handling unit type. The part is packed with an specific handling unit ID. The packaging material of the handling unit type is consumed automatically and issue from the stock If I go again to the Inventory part in stock and select the part that I have just packed and select ‘Unattach from handling unit’ for unpack, the system will not receive again the packaging part into stock to be able to be used again for another packing. The quantity on hand of the packaging material should not be increased? Thank you in advance.

Is there any possibility to re-use the PR with Order Code 5 (Express Order) when the PO is cancelled? Test Steps: Create a PR with Order Code 5 and Release the PR. It will automatically create the PO. Now cancel the PO. Go back to PR it is not reopening and unable to use again, similar to the Normal Order Code. Appreciate any thoughts on this scenario. Thank you.

We want to do some changes on Customer Order Confirmations being sent via INET_TRANS. Currently the XML field <CUSTOMER_PO_LINE_NO> does not contain the actual Customer PO Line No that is in IFS > Customer Order > Order Lines row, (highlighted below) but a sequential one that IFS creates starting at ‘1’. This seems to be wrong, surely it should be sending the data that is in IFS. Can IFS fix this? What is the reasoning for naming the XML field to correlate to an IFS field and then not use the IFS data?

Hello, I am facing issue in the change order for PO yy07530, we need to cancel line 1 of this order, but am getting the attached error. How can we resolve this. Regards, Kruthika

Hello everyone, Here is a use case for which I need your help. The customer "Point P" places a customer order on behalf of a third party "MIKIT".In this order, "Point P" applies its own pricing and discounts (e.g.: 50% on a sales group). The need is, when creating the Customer Order in IFS, although the customer on the header is "Point P", to apply a price list (including prices and discounts) defined for "MIKIT" to the order.If no specific price list is configured for "MIKIT", then we should keep the prices provided by "Point P". Does someone know how this could be modeled in IFS?I tried adding "MIKIT" as the end customer on the customer record for "Point P", but without success...

Hello What is the impact of these two parameters (Use planned dependent demand) & (Use dependent demand in forecast consumption) on MS? I tried to create sales quotation but no data displayed in planned demand anf planned dependent demand column on MS! Could you help me with this? thanks

One of my teams has raised a transport task to move stock from a shop floor location into the quarantined stores. He has selected multiple items and given a collection of parts to the quality team, and when these have been checked, the quality team have noticed that one line was not in the box. Ideally they want to be able to select 9/10 lines and execute these, leaving the final line on the transport task- is this possible?

Hello, I often get the same question from our customers: "We want to be able to redeliver or invoice on the original order". Example: I create a sales order, I invoice and I have to issue a credit note because I made a price or qty error. I issue a credit note but I want to start again from the initial sales order. We agree that in iFS you can't reopen a sales order that's already been invoiced. thank you for your help

Hello all. When creating a BO (Business opportunity) for a customer in IFS Cloud with different physical articles (with variable size and weight) is there a way to calculate freight? We have a freight price list attached to each customer (depending on Ship via code) How could I add correct freight charge on BO to set correct expectations for customer in regards to shipping costs before they place an actual order to us? Thank you!

Hi, Is there a way to get the customer order reservation scheduled data base task to only reserve to pack size? we currently have stock that is used on both internal and external orders that create a problem during reservation runs. If parts are not relocated when they are split for internal orders we have to zero pick customer orders and then re reserve to the inner pack size which is very manual and time consuming. I have the warehouses split out in IFS and also run picks by storage zones but if a pack size is split in either it will throw the customer picks out. I’ve tried looking under automatic reservations in the site tab and also at the criteria in the database tasks but have had no luck, the closest I have got is an attribute string but I’m not sure on how I would write that and then where it would need to go. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jim

Good morning, I was wondering, whether there is any proposal on how to prioritize the processing order for the DOP orders. The customer order has it’s own priority which does not transfer to further levels, however sometimes, we want the planner to really focus on something with later delivery date but more difficult structure. Or just because it is a VIP customer and we want to check as soon as possible, what best delivery date would be possible given the component and capacity availability. Is there any field that I can use from the design department to pass the information to the planning dep. with the possibility to filter based on that? Either on DOP orders or DOP headers? Thank you, Best Regards PetaKu

Hello, in the MS configuration, two options are available about including supply/forecast in S&OP aggregation. Does anyone has an idea about the imapct of these please? thanks

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on how to manage returns in IFS Cloud without going through the full shipment/picking/delivery flow. In IFS Apps8, returning goods—particularly to correct an over-receipt—was super simple and automatically increased the “Qty to Receive.” But in IFS Cloud, we’re seeing extra steps that don’t match our real-world process. Here’s what we do: Sometimes we accidentally receipt more units than what actually arrived (e.g., 10 instead of 9). We want to quickly fix that and have the “Qty to Receive” go back up by 1 (in this example) so we can receipt it properly when the actual missing unit arrives later. In IFS Apps8, this was just a few clicks: select the return, enter a reason, and done. The system automatically adjusted the receipt quantity and increased the “Qty to Receive.” In IFS Cloud, we’ve noticed it pushes us into a full shipment process (Shipment Lines, picking, delivering, closing), which we don’t do physically and is a lot of extra work ju

Deliveries can be undone which of the following ? 1.Consolidated shipments 2.Shipments 3.Customer orders

We're using IFS9 at the moment and are going to transfer to Cloud next year. What's the right way to use outside operations in a shoporder? And, is it meant to use the ‘Operation No’ functions under ‘materials’ to connect different Material-Lines to different operations? Or are outside-operations meant for single/mono-parts only?

When using the ‘Move Part’ functionality can you enforce the ‘Part Availability Control’ to move with the Part? You can select the slider but I want to enforce it for all movements. It happens automatically when moving a Handling unit but not for individual parts. Asking for Apps10 + Cloud

Why is Warehouse Description not included as an available standard field in entities like InventoryPartInStock? Seems like a weird omission.

Go to Any Shipment ID and go to Available Lines sub window. Available Lines tab is taking some time to load and after a while it is getting timeout notification as attached below. Has anybody noticed any workaround for this?

Hi all, I am currently exploring best practices for utilizing the Internal_Part_Issue_Pub table within the context of Demand Planning. I’ve noticed that the table includes multiple transaction types, and I understand that the appropriate configuration often depends on specific business practices. That said, is there any recommended or commonly used Source_Ref_Type or Transaction Code for standard Demand Planner base flow configurations? Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated. There is the where condition used in this view. SELECT tran.part_no part_no, tran.contract contract, tran.date_time_created date_issued, Decode(tran.direction,'+',tran.quantity * -1,'-',tran.quantity, 0) qty_issued, Inventory_Transaction_Hist_API.Get_Cost(tran.transaction_id) unit_cost, Inventory_Location_API.Get_Warehouse(tran.contract, tran.location_no) warehouse_id, Warehouse_API.Get_Warehouse_Type_Id(tran.contract, Inventory_Location_API.Get_Warehouse(tran.contract, tran.location_no)) warehouse_

Hi All, When a customer order line is connected to a staged billing profile and once a stage has been invoiced, it is not possible to cancel the CO line even after creating a credit invoice. When trying to cancel the order line, the system raises an error that 'The order line may not be cancelled when invoiced stages exist'. I have created the following Idea for the above issue. Please share if anyone knows a workaround.

Hello, I saw a post Aurena Custom Command - Multiple Records that it is possible to select multiple records and execute Navigation Link. Is this possible or will this be possible for ExecuteQuickreport? I want to select some Purchase orders and then run a quickreport based on the selected records. We are currently on 23.1.7 Kind regards

IFS Cloud has the option to define the load sequence in the Consolidated shipment. The customer’s requirement is to set the sequence in such a way, that the goods which are delivered last to be loaded first. Even though this is possible, I can see that the load sequence is missing on the “Load consolidated shipment” window. It is not available under “Handling Units to Load” or “Loaded Handling Units”. Further, even in the related WADACO Configuration it is missing and there’s no such related item to configure. If the load sequence is added to the consolidated shipment, then it should definitely be available on the “Load consolidated shipment” and in WADACO. Because, if the load sequence is used, the warehouse worker who uses a scanner should know which shipment to be loaded first. Otherwise, there’s no use of having it just in the consolidated shipment. Is this the standard design or is there any other way to achieve this?

Hello There is an issue where, after a change order has been updated to a PO, the PO still shows a box labeled 'Pending Changes.' The related change order status is 'PO Updated.' Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks, Raana

Dear Connections, In IFS’ standard cloud application, the Incoming Dispatch Advice is not particularly helpful when working with inbound sea freight operations. We have a requirement from one of our customers, where the customer procures material from overseas suppliers. As transit times via ocean vessels are quite uncertain these days, the final arrival date at the warehouse often changes. In this scenario, our customer wants to track the inbound shipment status. Additionally, a single vessel may contain multiple orders from multiple suppliers. However, in IFS, we do not find an option to perform receipt for multiple orders from different suppliers within a single shipment or dispatch advice. This is because the standard Incoming Dispatch Advice functionality only supports multiple orders from a single supplier. Is this something on the Road Map for the future IFS cloud releases? I appreciate your comments and suggestions on this.
