Purchase Order and Supplier Discounts

Thanks @Jackie P for your reply! This solution we have not considered. As I understand it, the tab Part Assortments then replaces the tab Parts. Or can you have prices per part defined in the Parts tab and then apply discounts on a group level in the Part Assortments tab?The logic for us would be:Price per part (preferably in supplier agreement) Discount per order based per total order value (per order) One general discount per supplier (the complete agreement)I guess the general discount per supplier could be applied if we connect all parts to the same part assortment and then connect the part assortment to the supplier agreement where we specify the discount per your example. Do you know of there is any step pricing connected with this logic? I.e. the higher the order value, the higher discount?

Purchase Order and Supplier Discounts

Hi @Ravinatha Ariyarathna Thanks for your response. I have tried out the different alternatives and found: If a part is included in a supplier agreement, no discount is collected from “Supplier Discounts” or “Supplier”. If a part is included in a price list, no discount is collected from “Supplier Discounts” or “Supplier”. Only if a part does not have a price list or supplier agreement price, i.e. price is collected from “Supplier for purchase part”, then discount is collected by the following prio: Discount as defined in “Supplier Discount” If no supplier discount found for the purchase group - then discount is collected from “Supplier”. None of the alternatives applicable for us since we want to handle prices in agreements (or price lists if that would be the only option). But since it is possible to connect a supplier agreement to an assortment where discounts can be entered, we still believe that would be a way going forward. Anyone, having used discounts defined in Assortmen

Get involved. We'd love to hear from you

In previous versions of IFS online training material was included. Now I can’t find any online training material in our online documentation. Is it hidden somewhere or is the intention that we should reach out to IFS Academy for education material?

ROUNDDIFF transactions only occured once

Many thanks @Vimukthi Mahakumbura for your responses. I think I have the full picture now: ROUNDDIFF transactions were created for June since June was open when the “Aggregate” function for the next period was executed. If we run the aggregate function on day 3, we set offset to 3 days. And the “Inactive days” is set to 0. So if we want ROUNDDIFF postings to be created for September we need to run the “aggregate” function for October as soon as possible, when September still is open, correct?

Order Proposal - Planning method B - demands not fulfilled

We are defining material demands on Work Tasks / Material. All inventory parts are purchased, have planning method B, order point 0 and lot size 1. Expected result when running the Order Proposal: If an inventory part that is demanded on Work Task / Material is not available in stock, the order proposal creates a Purchase Requisition with the demand date from the Work Task as the Wanted Receipt Date on the PR Line. This works fine if we have a primary supplier for the part. We have defined lead times per supplier so that the demand is triggering the PR 45 days in advance. However, we don’t have (primary) suppliers for all parts. Whenever there is no primary supplier the leadtime of the part is set to 0 and the automatic PR is created the same day as the demand occurs. Please advice: Is it possible to set up leadtimes for purchase parts not connected to suppliers? We need to define an internal leadtime in order to have the demands generating PRs 45 days in advance of th

Saved Search Lobbies

Does anyone have a response on this question? We have defined saved searches in the application with in parameters for the user to be able to do a flexible search, e.g. on inventory parts based on different combinations of parameters. The purpose is for the user to come into a certain window with a predefined saved search allowing the users to enter parameters and search.As Albin mentions this can be done in the base profile (user defined part of the lobby) but we can’t find a way to design a lobby element the same way. Is that possible at all, and if so, how?

IFS Idea Wall in the Community?

Quite often when we send support requests to IFS Support Center we receive the response that the application works as designed and the request will be added to the Idea Wall. It would be very interesting to see the Idea Wall and receive some feedback as of which ideas will be included in future versions of IFS. Please let me know, is there a plan to include Idea Wall or enhancement requests in any form in this forum? It would be great to let the community comment on the ideas and receive feedback about how R&D think about the way going forward with the customer requests. Hey @MarieSkoldenborg - Great to hear from you! Ideation is critical to your success and is something my whole team is deeply committed to. We have a legacy system called IdeaWall that was only open to Partners and Employees. As we move to a centralized platform, we moved all Ideation here to the Community site. As we make the transition, we have opened it up to Partners and Employees to mirror Idea

Project Completion and not yet received supplier invoices

Hi, Hate to say it but… it is in UPD8 This is in the release notes of the UPD8. IFS : 280105 Partners : 280105 CEC : 280105I SC : 280105 Project-Based -Project Accruals Provide the ability to manage accruals at project level, for the source data from sub contracts, and miscellaneous accruals. Facilitate operational and financial accrual assessments, generate accrual transactions and automatically reverse them in the subsequent financial period. This enhancement is available in IFS Aurena. This allows you to manage an accrual for potential invoices to come and close the project. Otherwise it will be hard to trick the system otherwise, other then putting in 0.00 invoices for the open items and manage an accrual separate. Hi, we have the same problem but we are on upd8 so we could try it out. I read through the documentation of upd8 and found that it is possible to collect costs from sub contracts as well as entering manual costs to be entered as accruals.BUT I can’t find any informa

VAT after Brexit

We have the same questions as the initial ones by Randika: What will be the Tax code to be used after Brexit (For UK customers and UK suppliers, any new tax percentages) What to do with Open purchase orders/ open customer Orders/Open invoices etc The impact on Tax Ledger and Tax reporting.The link to the webinar mentioned in the reply does not work now after IFS has redesigned their webpage, but I was able to open the presentation. According to the presentation the following vat codes are to be used. But are they the only ones and what is the standard setup in IFS?W1 - Postponed VAT imports - Calculated Tax, 20%, 100% DeductibleW2 - ROW Purchase VAT Services - Calculated Tax, 20%, 100% Deductible. I guess all companies running IFS with customers and suppliers in UK have the same questions?

Order Proposal - Planning method B - demands not fulfilled

Found a workaround: We have a background job updating the purchase lead time for all parts, fetching the lead time from the primary supplier. The workaround would be to create all new parts with the lead time of 45 days - will then be included in the order proposal. Whenever a primary supplier is connected to the part, the lead time would be updated the the background job updating the correct lead time for the supplier Note that if we disconnect the primary supplier from the part, the lead time will not be updated.

Move parts to different location type

To move parts to a arrival or QA location, the move itself needs to be done in the context of the purhase order receipt (a receipt ref is needed for these location typed. So you need to find the PO receipt and then use move function on PO receipt to move to a QA location. If part is not at the latest picking location as identified on the PO receipts you first have to move it to that location. Hope this helps. This was very helpful for us as well, but we also need to understand how to carry out the QA process in IFS.Could you please elaborate: Register inspection result is the next step when the parts are in a QA location. In which window do you recommend we register the inspection result? When the inspection result has been registered, the parts are still in the QA location. Shall we then use the move function to move from QA to a picking location? Could you please also let me know whether it is possible to do QA without first moving the parts to receipt location?Many thanks in ad

Inventory Part Availability Exceptions

I actually tested this in system (IFS), I add note and confirm the line. After next calculation of exceptions, both note and confirmation was gone. Bug? We have also tested this functionality and found the same behaviour: Calculating exceptions clears the confirmation. So what is the purpose of this functionality? How is it supposed to be used? The idea itself is very promising but if handled exceptions disappear they are of no use.
