Hi! Can the purchasing department modify purchase requisitions created by the planning department directly on the requisition? Also, I would like to view the audit log records, but they are currently disabled. Where can I enable them?

Merhaba,Planlama departmanının açtığı talepleri satın alma departmanı talep üzerinden değiştirebiliyor mu? Ayrıca log kayıtlarını görmek istiyorum ancak şu an kapalı, nereden aktif edebilirim?

Hi.  Yes - you can modify a Purchase Req created by MRP/PMRP.  The following is information on history logging -

 

In IFS Cloud, tracking and viewing changes made to a Purchase Requisition (PR) can be handled through several built-in mechanisms depending on whether you are looking for field-level database audit logs, authorization history, or application status tracking.

1. System History Log (Database Audit Trail)

IFS Cloud includes a central History Log framework that captures row- and field-level changes (Inserts, Updates, Deletes) made to Purchase Requisitions. History Log

  • Configuration (Solution Manager):

    • System Administrators enable logging via Solution Manager > History Log > History Log Setup.

    • Logging is configured for the underlying Logical Units (LUs) and tables:

      • PurchaseRequisition (PURCHASE_REQUISITION_TAB) — Header changes (e.g., Requisitioner, Site, Order Code).

      • PurchaseReqLine (PURCHASE_REQ_LINE_TAB) — Line item changes (e.g., Part Number, Quantity, Price, Site, Delivery Date).

  • What is Logged:

    • Modified column name

    • Old Value vs. New Value

    • User who performed the change

    • Timestamp of the modification

  • How to View:

    • Directly on the PR Page: Select Page Actions / Command Menu → View History Log (or History Log) while viewing the specific Purchase Requisition header or line.

    • Globally: Search for the record in the History Log page in IFS Cloud using the Key Ref or Table Name (PURCHASE_REQ_LINE_TAB).

2. Authorization History

If your organization uses Purchase Requisition Authorization Rules, changes to approval steps and status transitions are recorded separately:

  • Authorization Progress: Tracks each authorization step, required authorizer/group, actual authorizer, and authorization date.

  • How to View: Open the Purchase Requisition and view the Authorization tab or navigate to Purchase Requisition Authorization pages to inspect who approved or rejected the requisition lines and when.

3. Order Lifecycle & Status Progression

Changes in the lifecycle of a Purchase Requisition line are logged as part of operational pegging and status history:

  • Status Changes: Tracks state transitions such as Planned → Released → Partially Authorized → Authorized → Request Created / PO Created.

  • Connected Objects: If a PR line is converted into a Request for Order Quotation (RFQ) or Purchase Order (PO), IFS Cloud maintains pegging references linking the PR line to the resulting PO or RFQ. Sourcing Manager - Implementation Guide

4. Custom Event Logging (Optional)

If specific business fields require immediate notifications or tailored audit trails (e.g., tracking whenever a PR line quantity is decreased or canceled after release):

  • Administrators can set up Custom Events and Event Actions on the PurchaseRequisition or PurchaseReqLine entities to log changes to custom tables or send email/Teams alerts when critical attributes change.

 

I hope this helps.  Thanks!  Jane
