Dears,Picking this up, with an additional question:Lets say the distribution site sells at different prices to different costumers. The distribution site keeps 30% of the profit, the rest goes to the manufacturing site.So the Distrubution sells part A for $100. It enters the CO for $100. The system will automatically create a PO to the Manufacturing site, not for the $100 but for $70. In the manufacturing site, the CO is created for $70.Next week, the same part is sold for $200. Now the CO is entered for $200. The system will now create the PO for 140, and a CO at the manufacturing is created for 140. Is this also achievable using the discussed flows? I want to achieve to that the Distrubution site enters a CO for a certain price, and everyting following afterwards grabs that price. Thanks!
Thanks! Could you give an example?
This seems correct. The picking lead time is reflected in your customer order: you need 3 working days before you can ship. Your shop order makes sure it ends 1 day before CO due date. The 17th your SO is finished. The 18th you can start with your CO, start with the picking. This will take 3 days, so you can ship the 23th (there is a weekend in between) The picking lead time can be set on Site level, so it reflects all inventory parts.
The safety lead time can be found on your inventory part. (I’m talking about IFS 10, not sure for 8). But it doesn’t matter anymore now I see your screenshots.MRP will not touch your released shop orders. These are fixed for MRP. As your current released shop orders meet the demand for your CO on 14/10, he will not plan any additional orders.Also, the CO is in the past. MRP would plan ASAP, but start date will not be in the past. The MRP message means that the order may be rescheduled. The due date of the order falls earlier than the due date of the CO, so you are keeping stock which is not needed. Could you create a new CO (or an other demand, material req is also ok) in the future so your current fixed supply does not meet the demand? Then you should run MRP, we would expect that MRP creates a SO requistion with due date 3 days before the demand.
The picking lead time is the time between the reception in inventory and the shipment. It’s at site level, the system should take 3 days into account that your parts needs to be in inventory to give you the time to pick and ship. Do you have any MRP messages?If you would add a safety lead time on the part itself, does it tcount 3days extra before you receive it into inventory?
I’m sorry, I thought it was working in 9 but not in 10. But it’s the other way around. I can’t help with 9.
The copy part Characteristics can be used to copy the Technical class and Attributes. Can you share a screenshot of what is filled in there, for the part you which to copy from? This info can be found under the ‘engineering part’ tab in the screen ‘engineering part revision’If nothing is filled in there, the option will be greyed out. You cannot add a technical class to a engineering part after is has been created. You should do this using the ‘Part’ screen (RMB in the header of engineering part revision of your part, then select Part)
Do you want to copy a routing and have a link to which routing you copied from? Is that the question?You can make a template, and start your routing with that. If you copy a routing, the routing you copy from will always be kept. You don’t lose it.
Is there any way to have an invoice? In fact, there are 2 sites within the same company, but I want them to behave as different companies. Can IFS do that?
The DO’s are essentially objects that coordinate a customer order/purchase order pair. Have you considered using the Supply Code for Internal Purchase Transit on the customer order line? This can also be automated with the sourcing options on the sales part. I believe this would create the desired effect. Thank you Kenneth! Would you know if its possible that the supplying site sends an invoice to the receiving site?
Yes indeed. I was already afraid this flow doesn’t existing in IFS. But on the other hand, it is quite common: it’s the same process like bringing your broken cell phone back to the store where you bought it, and the retailer will send it to Samsung for repair.Thanks for thinking along!
Dear ShawnBerk, thank you! However, if I use a PO/CO, the company A cannot use a RMA to repair the part they initially sold.Is this solvable? Best regards
Hi all! I joined Syntrium some months ago, the main IFS partner in Belgium at the moment. Before that, I worked in the production and quality management of different chemistry & life sciences related manufacturing companies. I’m exploring some new functionalities, so I’m pretty sure this community will come in handy!
