Behaviour of Delta Amounts for Authorisation in auth rule

Cannot explain myself around a behaviour in purchase order authorisation. Below is how my auth rule is setup. Note the ‘Use Delta Amounts for Auth’ is set to Yes. Now, my PO is initially a placeholder for total of 0.01 value. Then a POCO is created to add another line with a value of 120,000.An authorisation is expected on this POCO, however is not fetched when the Delta Amt for Authorisation is set to yes. In my pov, there is a clear delta amt which is within the range of the auth rule. When the Delta Amt check is set to no, the auth rule is fetched. System - IFS Cloud 23.1.3

Posting controls and PO Charge Types.

Hello, As far as i know, we cannot apply a pre-posting posting control to Charge Types on a Purchase Order. Correct?I want to be able to create a Charge Type “DUES” which would apply to multiple departments. Is there any suggestion on how to make this happen?This is what i have tested so far: I created the charge type, selected “no code part value” on the posting control, had AP update the department on the supplier invoice, but it gave us the following error.This account requires a Site and Department. There is no site attached to the posting control for this charge type, but there was a department added to the supplier invoice at matching.  Any suggestions for this welcome! Thanks in advance.

Purchase part planning

Hello,  Is it possible to use forward scheduling for purchase parts in IFS Cloud, use current date as indicator if we have past due or close demand and see the earliest possible purchase requisition receipt date according to purchase part read time ?

Payment terms supplier

Hi,When changing the supplier payment terms on the supplier, all the placed orders will also change accordingly. Is this really the right functionality? Shouldn’t the already placed order remain with the “old” payment terms?IFS Cloud used. All comments/info highly appreciated. Br,Marita

Trouble Closing Purchase Order Lines After Quantity Change

I’m trying to close out a purchase order but can’t close out two of its lines due to a quantity change. Both received lines need to be updated from a quantity of 2 to 1.Specifically: The affected purchase order lines should be changed to: Qty Required: 1 Qty Pegged: 0 Qty Issued: 1 I tried unpegging and updating the quantities, but that didn’t work. I also looked into unreceiving the items, cancelling the PO lines, re opening the requisitions, and reducing the quantity on the work task itself but this also didn’t resolve the issue.All materials for this job are on hand, but the related work order can’t be closed until the purchase order is fully closed. Has anyone run into this issue before or have suggestions for how to resolve it?

MRP planning

Hi, Is it possible to set the MRP parameters to only look so far ahead? At the moment, as soon as a req is created (even if for next year), MRP suggests buying or making the stock. I do not want to consider that order until at 3 months prior to required date. It would be ideal to see demand without any req’s being generated. Using planning method G currently.    Thanks, Dan

Reverse Fetch Authorization Rule on PO (Uncheck Authorization Required on PO)

Hi, is there an easier way to uncheck the authorization required tick box on the PO header level? The way we know how to do it now is to reject authorization on each PO. We have about 150 POs which we’d like to reverse but we can’t do it in a more efficient manner right now.

Supplier Self Billing for new Site

We have a supplier set up to be a self-billing account and when we receive product at our various sites, we are seeing the “AS” self-billing invoices processed and in our supplier analysis to be posted.  However, we have recently added a new Site to our IFS system, and even though we are using the same supplier, the receipts done in this new Site are not being processed as a self-billing invoice.  Is there another setting that we are missing or something else that has to be run that is Site specific?

Registering Arrivals of Lot Tracked Material

My organization is in the process of implementing IFS cloud as our new ERP system. I am looking for thoughts/ideas around how to register arrivals on lot tracked material. For example, I order 10 skids of material that all have individual lot numbers and individual weights. The purchase order is for 40,000 lbs. of part number 12345. I would like to register the arrival against the PO by populating 10, 4000 lb. skids by individual lot numbers without manually overriding the PO. Is there an “upload” functionality that can avoid the manual process? Other ideas? Thanks in advance for the thoughts!

How to bring Customer Owned stock into Inventory

Hello, We work with many customer owned stock items that are issued to shop orders and work orders. Currently we raise a zero dollar PR/PO and receipt the items.On the Supplier for Purch Part the Ownership is set as Customer Owned. Yet the ownership on the PO line always defaults to Company Owned and if not noticed, often forces cancellation and recreation of the PO resulting in wasted time and inefficiencies. What is the best way/what settings are needed to bring these items into stock with the ownership as Customer Owned?

Master Schedule Item - Action Proposals

We have turnkey finished good items that are MS items with MS Demand since they are directly forecasted.  The issue is when these items are purchased, they do not get action messages like MRP items do - MRP Action Proposals.For example - we will order the MS item based off demand.  When the demand changes and the delivery date may need to be advanced, pushed out or if there is no more demand it would need to be canceled, we do not see these messages.We see Early Order, Late Order or Remove order in MRP Action Proposals and would like to see the same messages for MS items.  Maybe there is a different way to set up these items so they are not MS and we can forecast them and see the MRP Action Proposals?  We are in IFS Cloud

Demand Planner - Daily Aggregation Job takes too long

This is an interesting one, and I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing something similar. For reference, we're on IFS Apps 10 UPD17.We run the daily aggregation job just after midnight. A couple of years ago, it would finish before 9 a.m. By last year, it was running until 11 a.m., and this year it's progressively pushed out to around 2 p.m.Perhaps it's just how the algorithm scales with data volume, but has anyone else seen this kind of trend? If so, how did you address or resolve it?

Master Scheduling 1 parameters explained

So we are using MS Level 1 to essentially enter forecasts that will then drive demand signals to other sites. We have one internal supplier (finished goods) and various external suppliers (finished goods and raw material) setup in 4 different sites. We normally use distribution orders auto generate the required purchase reqs and shop order reqs that Supply Chain needs to fulfill the different demand and supply signals required through out our distribution and manufacturing network. One thing we have struggled to setup correctly and understand has been some of the parameters in Master Schedule 1 Part.We understand that every company has unique ways of handling Master Scheduling, but it is how you setup the parameters that makes a big different between trusting and not trusting the output you get from the Master Schedule.My question is simple: can some one explained to me exactly how the yellow highlighted fields and the red circled drop down options work and how they affect each other a
