Purchase order authorization rule

Hi, We have currently the purchase order authorization rule with Allow change after authorization set to ‘Within authorizer limit’ but we would like to change it to ‘Within Order amount’.For PO’s that have a higher value then when it was authorized we need to revoke authorization and re authorize in order to be able to cancel lines.For PO’s in status received this workaround is not possible since you cannot revoke authorization from received PO. We cannot figure out a way to cancel not yet received line from such PO.Is there a way to work around such situation?/Anna

Saved Search Lobbies

Hi!When a lobby has been created by a system administrator, each user has a possibility to make personal configuration using My elements.When creating a new element (using My elements configuration), you can add items by the type “Add Note”, “Add Saved Search”, “Add Selection”, “Add Quick Report”, “Add Hyper Link”.Does anyone know if the “Saved Searches” can be put in by the administrator by choosing a saves search that exist in a base profile?The purpose is to get it into the base design of the lobby page instead of the additional personal design of a Lobby page.

What is the point of "Find Purchase Part by Characteristics Assistant"?

Hello,I am getting up to speed on Purchase Part Characteristics and like what I see. These will be handy when we’d rather not add a custom field. I wish more LUs had “Characteristics”… (Is it just Inventory Parts and Purchase Parts?)However, I am perplexed by the "Find Purchase Part by Characteristics Assistant". It works -- I can bring up various alpha and numeric search fields and end up with a filtered list of Purchase Parts, but...then what? What is the point of displaying a bunch of records in a grid? If I want to access that Purchase Part in its most useful state (the Purchase Part screen) I would have to write down the part number (or CTRL+C) then navigate to the Purchase Part screen and search for it again. The Assistant does not even offer a way to export the search results to Excel -- that would at least be semi-useful.Even more silly, the final listing of results lets you edit the records as if you can make persistent changes to the data, but there is no way to save the chan

Printing Supplier Checks

Hello Everyone,We are installing APPS 10 UD8 in the U.S. and there is a requirement to print checks to pay some of our suppliers.  I’m hoping those of you who have experience in this area can give me some advice on how we should proceed. The check form we will be using to print checks on is blank which means in addition to the supplier payment information (name, amount, payment details) we also need to print company information such as company name, address and image.  The MICR line must be printed as well with the company bank account number, bank routing number, and check number.   The MICR line must also be in a special font, E13b.Once approach we are considering is using the IFS report LASER_PRINT_CHECK_REP and modifying it to meet our requirements.  The standard XML is missing key data elements but it seems most of the data is in IFS or can be added.Has anyone else used this same approach? If so, how did you handle the special font requirement for the MICR line.   Or if you have b

Posting control M15

We are using apps 10 and i want to use the purchase order to send raw materials to the partner. The event PURSHIP with posting type  M1 M15 are used for this event. I use M1 to fetch the inventory account  using C32 control type but i request help to fetch the right account with M15. The issue i have is that posting type M15 is not based on the component part but on the parent part whatever the control type i used. When receiving the parent part two events are created. The ARRIVAl which is used when receiving part based on PO using and M10 and an other event POINV-WIP is created with M10 and M15. M15 amount value seems to be the sum of M15 value of the PO PURSHIP.Actually i want to know what’s is the M15 purpose.I am looking forwaerd to hearing from someone who was facing the same issue. Eventually i intend to simplify by using material to the supplier partener using  NREC and NISS but my customer seems want to use purchase order for that.  Thanks

Maintenance Basic Data: Object type vs Item class

We would like to use the Service and Maintenance module from IFS 10 and we have some question about Basic data.Serial Object (piece of machine, Ex Drilling Machine) can be defined with this list of Basic data:Category: Machine Object Type: Vertical Drilling Type Designation: EH-15 (model) Group ID: Drilling Item Class: ??Work Instruction Task Template used to define a PM programs  can be linked to a Category, Object Type or Object Designation (Machine model in my example)PM program: it seems we can connect PM program only through Process Class and Item ClassI have some trouble to understand the logic. We can connect Work Instruction template to a type of machine, which sound logic. But i m not able later on to create a PM progam for this machine linking WTT via Type Designation. Only with Item Class.Does someone could share with an example how do you use PM program and Work Task Template?how should i understand “Item Class”?thanks for your support
