Hi,When in the inter-site process a customer order is shipped, following two inventory transactions are created:SHIPTRAN: Ship Customer Order Internal TransitINTORDTR: Move to Internal Order Transit due to IssueWhen a shipment is cancelled, it is reversed using following two inventory transactions:UNINTORDTR: Reversal of Move to Internal Order Transit due to IssueUNSHIPTRAN: Undo Ship Customer Order Internal Transit When executing "Reversal of Move to Internal Order Transit due to Issue" (UNINTORDTR), the costs (INTORDTR) are not returned in the same amount.Instead, the costs are recalculated according to the FIFO principle.This can result in differences, which then remain as a balance on the transfer account. Example Part No SP065137 The quantity of 30’000 was delivered at a unit cost of 0.026073 = total cost 782.19The transaction was cancelled immediately afterwards, but with different unit costs of 0.020023 = total cost 600.69The difference of 181.50 remains as a balance amount in
Dears, I have a question. We have tried the reservation from the specific location on the shop order which is possible once the following choices are made: However when I try to do this for configuration structure instead of the product one, the automatic reservation is not an option. To be fair, I am not using the floor stock. Can you please advise? Thank you,Best RegardsPetaKu
Hello,We would like to restrict time registration both in the past and in the future in IFS, across all time-consuming modules (Project, Work Order, Maintenance, etc.).Is there any standard IFS configuration that allows:Blocking time registration before a given past date, andBlocking time registration beyond a given future date (for example, beyond the current day or current period), If no fully standard solution exists, what are the recommended best practices (events for example ?) to enforce this type of restriction consistently?Thank you in advance for your guidance.
Another individual asked this question 3 years ago and never got a response, so I’m trying to ask again:Is there a setting or option to prevent certain sales parts from never getting a discount %? We are looking to see if we can replace our current CRM process with IFS, but in the current CRM, we do not allow for the discount of Extended Warranty (% charge) or Installation Service (NI Sales Part). So we would need a solution for both a charge and a Non-Inventory Sales Part.
In a multi site scenario (Demand and Supply sites exist), can the demand of the Dmand Site ie- 700 pcs in week 25 update in the Supply on week 23, assuming a 2 week lead time between 2 sites? , if so what are the configuration and settings that needs to be done? In addition can the total demand for a month be cumulated to one day as all deliveries are done only 1 day per month?

Hi All,Do you have any instruction how it is possible this situation?When one company has several Tax ID Numbers in different EU countries, and in these countries the sending invoice data to Tax Authority/Government is a mandatory regulation? The IFS contains several E-invoice processing type for different countries. The E-invoice processing type can be se ton Company/Invoice page, General tab. It means, that the standard IFS e-invoice function can be set only on Company level. When the company has several Tax ID Number, we are not able to set this on Company.How can we set and manage/send invoices in this situation?
I’m wondering if someone could help.We have multiple companies setup within IFS. Only one of them currently uses the application to complete the pension contributions for their employees. We’re wanting to setup another company to use the standard pension contributions within IFS (X% employee and X% employer contributions) which uses qualifying earnings (all monthly pensionable pay between £X-£X) to calculate pension contributions.How do we set this up? I’ve checked a lot of documentation but can’t seem to suss it.ThanksR
Hello from the documentation, I understand that the IFS instance has to be set up exclusively either as 1) enabling copy from Project Deliverables to Asset or 2)to Copy to Equipment. This setup being based on property COPY_TO_MAINTENANCE. Does it mean that once it’s defined for an IFS instance, and that Project Deliverables has been used, then it should stay as it is? Does it means that it’s not possible to run both flows in the same instance? Thanks
Hello, A brief question regarding the 2 views mentioned “Operation Statistics” and “Labor and Operation History”. We are aiming to get the correct data from our shop floor regarding what has actually been produced during a given time period. What we experience is that “Operation Statistics” does not provide the same information as “Labor and Operation History”. Wheras the latter also requires us to manully filter out duplicates, cancelled operations etc. Operation Statistics seems to be the way to go, but I am uncertain that we use it correctly. Whereas if I want to check on yesterday’s shop floor results. I miss out on partially reported shop orders due to there is not actual finish dates. Does anyone have any tips on how to procede?My first though is that we need to “start production” and use clockings more thorughly in production. Which gives us the possiblity to filter on “actual start date” instead. We currenlty using IFS10, but in September we are implementing IFS - CloudBest Reg

Hello,I’m having an issue with a web client script. The script checks the current task_status and builds a dropdown list based on that value. If task_status = 'APPOINTMENT', the dropdown should include APPOINTMENT. If task_status ≠ 'APPOINTMENT', then APPOINTMENT should be excluded. Test 1: When I test this using my own role, the script behaves correctly. However, when I switch to another role, it no longer works—even though both roles use the same screen configuration and the same function.Test 2: If I add an alert statement inside the script, it suddenly works for both roles.On the Screen it is set to: AddEditOpened and AfterDataLoad. Web Client Scriptvar taskStatus = getControlValue('task', 'task_status');var opt1 = [];if(taskStatus == 'APPOINTMENT') { arrayPush(opt1, createCodeTableOption('APPOINTMENT', getMessage('APPOINTMENT', 'CODE'))); } arrayPush(opt1, createCodeTableOption('ARRIVED', getMessage('ARRIVED', 'CODE'))); arrayPush(opt1, createCodeTableOption('ASSIGNED', getMessa

Hi all, Is there anyone who can explain what the “Order Country” is in relation to Export Control?Is that the Country where the (purchasing) Site is connected to, or is this the Country where the goods are to be delivered to (Delivery location)? And the same relating to the Customer Country in Find and Connect Export License. Is this to be seen as the connected country of the Site purchasing an item, or is this where the goods are to be delivered?
Hello, has anyone installed 25R2 SU1 yet? We have leftover Custom Field Views after the update, because views like the RECEIPT_INFO_ALT were removed, but the RECEIPT_INFO_ALT_CFV is still there.Would you consider this a bug or is there a way, besides dropping the view, to get rid of the invalid views with IFS onboard functions? Best RegardsChristian
Hi Team, I have a question with regards to the Rollback for PCA.When I rollback the PCA I get the error “ Cannot Rollback journal when there are other jouranal created later”The background is, we ran the PCA for a period and updated to GL and we created some transactions after that and now we need to rollback the PCA to include those transactions for the allocation.In company set up we use the Rollback Mode as “Rollback” And we don’t use Journal Id’s Why the system pulls the above error even we don’t use journal Id’s.(I am aware we do the rollback if we set up the rollback mode to Correction but still i need to check why the system pulls this error eventhough we don’t use journal ids’ Thank you Best Regards,Prabha
Hello,I have a question regarding the Availability Check function and what it does and does not include.I am currently working in version 9 and currently using the CO Plannable field in Inventory Part Availability Planning to confirm what is included in the check.From what I can determine, requisitions and MRP planned supply/demand do not factor. This is understandable as they are not firm-enough to be considered. Shop Orders in a planned state will count as plannable supply, but the components of the shop order do not count as plannable demand. Planned purchase orders count as supply.Is there a way in to have planned shop order components and/or MRP Planned supply/demand to also be calculated in the availability check? If not, what methods do you suggest in order to have IFS provide consistent reliable dates for customer orders?Thanks in advance,Andrew
I am trying to use the IFS Report Migration Tool to convert an rdl layout to an rep layout. I get an error that states a file is missing and to please add the .XSD file to the same directory. The XSD file is in the same directory and I still get this error. I have tried both individual file conversion and the folder conversion.The file names are exactly how they were exported:SomeReport.rdlSomeReportRep.XSDIs there an additional naming convention that needs to be applied to the XSD file?
