Automatic "Requisitioner" filled in in Employee Self-Service Portal

@BeaLauraA We have now implemented support for “setting” the requisitioner field automatically if the person is added as requisitioner. This will be included in the 23R1 release.Best regards,Henrik

Automatic "Requisitioner" filled in in Employee Self-Service Portal

Hi Laura!Good input. Currently, the requisitioner is defaulted from the User Defaults set up in the Self Service Procurement Defaults page, so you would need a requisitioner added in that page.We could definitively make this more intelligent, so that if there are no defaults added for the user in the above page, we could check if the logged in person also is a requisitioner and use that as default.I will add this to our backlog and make sure we prioritize it, but cannot today give any promises in which release it will be included.Thanks and best regards,Henrik

Request external webshop-punch out bypasses mandatory pre-posting of cost center

Hi Lena, Adding the answer here for others awareness as well.We can at the moment not force the pre-posting in the shopping cart. For cost centers, the idea is more that you could set up a default cost center for the user and that it will be picked up automatically to the cart lines, rather than the end-users having to fill it in manually.If you have mandatory pre-posting set up, you can submit the cart, but the process will stop with a released Purchase Requisition and you need to enter the pre-posting before converting to an order.//Henrik

Punchout OCI adress

Hi Emma,When we have been testing this out with a couple of different webshops we have always received the full url from the suppliers and they have looked slightly different from supplier to supplier. Some of the url’s have contained some other attributes like the users country, language and agreement etc to control differnt settings and available categories for the user in the webshop.Common for all is that they need the attributes &PASSWORD=<password>&USERNAME=<user name> defined in the url. Some examples we received also include a section called hook url (&HOOK_URL=<redirect url>?uniqueid=<query parameters>). This part is something that “our” system needs to add, so this needs to be removed.There are some info in the technical documentation:https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/22r2/030_administration/030_integration/330_ifs_applications_business_components/300_punchout_catalog_procurement/Best regards,Henrik

PEPPOL Punchout

Hi,Thanks a lot for the input Sami. I will definitively bring this up with product management. I think that many suppliers/retailers still lack support for the standard as well, but better be proactive.Cheers,Henrik

OCI Punchout

Hi Jorgen,Sorry for late reply but thought of posting an answer anyway for others knowledge. There is an issue with the punchout using the OCI standard in IFS Cloud 22R1 Service Update 4 and 21R2 Service Update 10, which is solved in the following service updates.The cXML standard should still work on those service updates though.Best regards,Henrik

PEPPOL Punchout

Hi Emma,At the moment we only support the cXML and OCI.They are the most commonly used standards globally. Most suppliers that have punchout capabilities support at least one of those standards.If there is a high demand of support for PEPPOL, we will of course look into that. We have not done any investigations on that end so far, so I cannot today say how difficult it would be to add support in the future, but hopefully the basic concepts should be similar. Best regards,Henrik

Amazon Business Integration/Punchout

Hi Sebastian!I cannot help with any specific information about Amazon Business, but in IFS Cloud we have support for punchout catalogs based on the OCI and cXML standards. We have not verified it specifically with Amazon Business though. How a normal punchout solution works is that you navigate from your procurement system (in this case IFS) to the suppliers webshop, you select products from their catalog and then instead of the normal check out, the shopping cart is transferred to IFS generating purchase requisitions is IFS. At this stage no order is created on the suppliers side. The requisition is then processed as any other requisition including authorizations and then orders are sent through the regular channels.Hope this information was useful.Henrik

Regarding Self Service Procurement

Hi Matti, so far all punchout lines are handled as No Part (free text) purchases.We have discussed adding somthing that maps the lines to the Purchase Parts (through the suppliers part no). It will then have some impact on the pricing logic, since the rest of the process goes throught the regular purchase requisition and order process, so it is not as straightforward as it seems. Best regards,Henrik

Self-Service Procur. Catalog and Purchase Category Assortment

A bit hard to say without seeing the data, but I can give a best guess.First - All parts that does not have a category are shown on the top node of your category assortment structure. If you would not see them there, they would never show up at all and the top node cannot really be considered a category.It seems to me that you either do not have any sub categories in your structure (since both the sub categories group and the buttons to go up and down in the category structure are missing) OR none of the products in your catalog have any connected category. Then the portal shows the top node in the category assortment and all products shown below that node.

Self-Service Procur. Catalog and Purchase Category Assortment

If you have defined a category assortment structure and the product lines are categorized according to any of the dimensions, there should be a Sub Categories group on the page where the user can navigate into the different categories (see below). If none of the products are categorized then no categories will show up in the portal.This is how the portal looks with Sub Categories:  You could also check the lines in the self-service catalog if they have any values in the field Category Assortment Node:

Self-Service Procur. Catalog and Purchase Category Assortment

Hi Matti!The category assortment structure is used in the self-service portal (webshop) for the end-user to be able to find products in a category structure. Just having everything in a long list in the portal without any categorization would not make it easy for the end user to find what they are looking for.When adding parts to the self-service catalog they are automatically categorized according to the categorization dimensions used in the procurement category assortment.You could argue that if you do not want any categorization to show up in the portal you should not need any category assortment connected, but there are some technical reasons related to how this is implemented that makes it mandatory to have a category assortment connected to the catalog or the portal will not work.Just get back to me if you have further questions.Best regards,Henrik

Company access error on Spend Analysis

Hi Roel, do you also have access to all the sites in the company you are generating the spend for?Since we are collecting data from orders where site access is used, you will also need to have access to all sites in the company for the data to be complete. If this is not what is causing your problem, you can maybe contact me directly and we can try to sort it out.Cheers,Henrik Sjöström

Price breaks on a Supplier Agreement?

Just to clarify a bit. From Apps 10 are two options for the Step Pricing on Agreements. Order Line Step Pricing means (as it says) that the quantity of each order line is evaluated against the pricing steps to decide the order price. I.e. this is similar to the price list tab on SfPP.Cumulative means that you will accumulate the quantity (within each agreement period) and the accumulated quantity for the period is evaluated against the pricing steps.

Pricing on PO Change Order

If you have changed the price on the line, but not in the price source, I think you need to also use the Price Freeze flag on the line to avoid new prices to be fetched when changing quantities or dates on the line (either directly or via a change order).Normally the system will try to fetch a new price when changing the quantity because you might have step pricing (price latter) set up in the pricing.Hope this helps!

Aurena B2B Supplier, View Attachement on Order Line

Not sure if this is will solve your issue, but in Apps 10, the Document Class of the document needs to be “B2B DOC” and the document should be in Status “Released”.Best regards,Henrik
