Hi,Is it possible to have the option to generate or not the XML file when creating a supplier payment order?Thanks
Hello, I am using IFS Apps 10 and we have enabled Control Plan Mandatory and Create Analysis Mandatory in the QA controls. This has been working as expected, however, we have to disable the controls when a Rework Shop Order is opened. As an example we need to Rework PN 123456. So a SO is opened for it and the Rework flag is checked. The Operations are modified to suit the rework (deburr, sanding, etc.). All original operations are removed and the rework operation(s) are added. All original materials are removed and the top level part number is added (for rework) to the material. The connected control plan still has all the checks for the original steps, which I mark as not included. However, when you attempt to receive the Shop Order, the system errors out stating that is expecting you to complete checks for operations that you have removed and checks you have not included. I have found no way around this other than to disable the QA controls, report the rework Shop Order and turn them
Hello,I'm looking for advice on how to exclude a specific list of suppliers from a payment proposal.The requirement is to exclude a list of 26 suppliers from all payment proposals, while allowing the rest to be paid. Is there a way to set up parameters or automated tasks that can accomplish exactly this—either during the creation of payment proposals or through another method?I’d prefer not to create separate supplier groups if possible, as some suppliers are already part of existing groups. This is more about excluding certain suppliers, rather than selecting which ones to include.Additionally, I’d like to avoid putting a central payment block on the supplier accounts, as we need to keep the option open to pay them in the future if necessary.I've tried separating the suppliers with commas, semicolons, dots, and dashes, but none of these approaches have worked. Currently, our workaround is to create a payment proposal with all suppliers included and manually exclude the invoices for th
Following the upgrade from PSO 6.10.0.17 to 6.14.0.65 and FSM 6 Update 25 to Update 31, we are experiencing unexpected behavior where fixed tasks are shifting overnight to different time slots.These tasks have fixed start and end times and should remain static once scheduled. No changes have been made to the underlying task data, configuration or scheduling constraints. Despite this, the planning board shows tasks in new positions each morning.We are investigating potential causes and are curious if any changes introduced in PSO 6.14.0.65 or FSM 6.31 may affect how fixed tasks are handled or persisted. Has anyone experienced similar behavior, or is there an explanation or setting we might have overlooked?Any insights would be greatly appreciated!Best regards,Jan-Willem Koster
The doc class is getting fetched only in the header level when using the drag and drop option to attach files. But when the user manually attaching files by browsing, the doc class gets automatically fetched in both header level and line level.When drag and drop option is used. When manual browsing option is used.Need to know the reason for this difference between two options.
Hey all,In App 10, HMRC submission window was helpful to recognize all the submissions, responses and errors from a single location. what is the Cloud page or option we can use for same ?
Once a page is open, e.g. active work orders.How to see/count the number of line items in the actual page?
Is it possible to connect the same Item Class twice in the same WTT revision?Example:For the WTT1.Can the Item class DREM exist twice in the “Prepare” tab?See the print
We are trying to build a Fault Tree based on the FMEA built by our company. The configuration today is:ELECTRIC MOTOR (Item class) CONVERT ELECTRIC ENERGY TO MECHANICAL ENERGY (Function) BEARING FAILURE (Fault Type) OHE - OVERHEATING (Symptom) OIL CONTAMINATION (Cause) This is the standard IFS functionality, is someone using in a different way? Where you can put the effect of the Failure, or using the “Failling component” inside the Cause?If someone can share how is the tree inside the FASN.
We are trying to rebuild a current integration that was done by a prior partner. The current integration creates a customer order, and preposts it with code parts D, E, F. Code part D is the Project, which downstream ensures that the Project is present on the AR Trade posting of customer invoices. In our new integration, we can successfully prepost code parts E and F, but when trying to prepost D, we get an error that an external project must have an activity sequence, which is a field we cannot enter into header preposting. How can I get the project preposting on the customer order header? Current Integration:New Integration attempt:
Dear ExpertsI never had this customer offset proposal working correctly for me. Most of the time the Proposal doesnt find any invoices despite there are available invoices. for example make the following selection for this customer. when i check the customer analysis I see at least 2 invoices and one cupoa which could be matched. what is exactly the logic of this customer offset proposal? what is the limitation`? i honestly cannot figure it out. best regardsSophal
Hi Folks We have three Strength Factors set up in IFS10 (0, 1 & 2) but nobody can tell me what they are used for, could anyone shed some light on this filed or point me in the direction of some documentation to help explain its use? It does change the Duty/Excise payable amount but I can’t work out the calculation.Any help would be appreciated
Hi,When creating M voucher from external file and then creating Interim voucher (R) we get following error.“Field [TAX_CODE] is mandatory for Source Tax Item Accrul and requires a value.”When we create M voucher manually with exactly same contents (not from external file) it works without error. Could it be a bug? We have IFS Cloud R231.
Hi All, In IFSAPPS10 and previous versions we have the “Display All Structure Types” functionality that allows us to see or not the different types of structures in Multi Level Structure tab, in Product Structure window.I didn't find the same functionality in IFS Cloud, does it exist? Thanks in Advance!
Usually, the end users (our customers) are using IFS on multiple tabs and windows, to work as efficiently as possible throughout the day.In our previous version, 22R2 SU16, the system stays on the same page if the user has to log in after being inactive and the end user can pick up where they left off.But in our current version, 24R1 SU05, the page resets to the default page, not only in the window where the end user had to log in again, but in all the other open windows as well.Please guide us in understanding this logic in 24R1 that seems to reduce the end users experience and is quite counter productive for an ERP system
Community, We are on APP10, but we are still not sure whether IFS can handle Cross Docking. Can anyone shed some light on it? Thank you.
Hi Everyone,For example, a purchase request line was created and approved from 100 X products. It is desired to create a purchase order for 70 of these from supplier A and 30 from supplier B. Is there a standard solution for this?As far as I know, the request line should also be created as two lines, 70 pieces and 30 pieces. After the request is approved, can we divide it into two lines quantitatively? there must be a solution other than a supplier split
We have purchased some LTU licenses and I have uploaded these permission sets into our IFS Cloud environment. Can anyone tell me if I need to get an updated version of these LTU permission sets for Service Updates? I am aware I need to ask for updated permission set for Release Updates, but unsure if I need to do the same for Service Updates. If it is dependent on if the Service Update affects that particular area the LTU covers, is there an easy way to check to identify this?
We are currently trying to use the order cover time on a manufactured part by setting it to Planning Method G. We want the demand as seen on MS Level 1 to be assessed over the cover time and used to generate shop order requisitions for the demand within the order cover time. However, Planning Method G only appears to work for Purchased Parts. Has anyone managed to get this work for manufactured parts?
Currently launching our first Site in IFS Cloud, and have varying internal experience and opinions on serializing parts. Specifically, stocking our finished goods in IFS Inventory with serial data. I’m hoping to get some pro/cons from the community while we continue with testing. What has your experience been? Do serials complicate transactions in any way, inventory based or accounting? Are they benefiting inventory control? What didn’t you know before implementing serial tracking?Some additional details: We plan to use handling units for stock, picking/shipping. Our business is automotive based, and we are reviewing customer requirements for traceability. Thanks in advance for any and all feedback!
I am looking for a way to automatically manage multi-source manufacturing.For the various cases below, I haven't found any functionalities that meet our customer needs.Can you tell us if any solutions exist? Or if some functionalities could be available in the future IFS roadmap. Case 1: distribution between different alternatives routings.Expected functionality: to be able to distribute (in %) between 2 (or more) alternatives the quantities to be produced in a period without having to split the batch size of the shop order requests generated by the MRP.Existing functionality we've found: distribution between different alternatives according to the quantity to be produced => doesn't meet customer needs. Case 2: distribution between purchased and manufactured.Expected functionality: to be able to distribute (in %) between manufacturing on routing and purchasing from supplier the quantities to be produced in a period, without having to split the batch size taken into account by MRP.Ex

Is there a way to have the release numbers sort numerically ? Example If you have line 1 release 1 and you get to line 1 release 10 on the table view line 1 and 10 will appear next to each other because of the leading 1. I looked in the page designer and didn’t see anything that might help. Thanks in advance
Hello all,I created a shop order from a project “Create Project supply Request” . From the shop order workbench I could not find the shop order. I verified I don’t have any filter blocking.With the same filter on shop order workbench, I created a shop order and then I connected the shop order to the project and it worked. Does this mean that it is not possible to display SO on “shop order workbench” for all SO generated from the project? Does any one have an idea about this?
