I am looking to see if there is a field that will allow us to determine how low the safety stock can get before MRP will issue a req to replenish. For example, if we set the safety stock at 100, do we not want a req to generate for 1 pc every time we dip down to 99. Instead, let’s say that we only want safety stock to replenish when it falls below 50 pcs. Is there a field where we can tell IFS to wait until we are at 50% of safety stock before replenishing? We want to move away from lot size and reorder points on planning method “C” and move to safety stock on planning method “G” but are looking to solve this issue first. I see that there is a field for “Service Rate” - would this perform the function I am seeking? If not, is there a field that will serve that purpose? Thanks - Sarah
We would like to begin using the ABC Cycle Counting functionality in IFS and would like to better understand how to get started. We have already defined the perimeters for ABC Class and have a background job running monthly to update those values. I am curious how to dictate the count frequency per class and how the system generates the count list daily. Any help here is appreciated.All the best,Sarah
Hello community! Our company is experiencing an issue and we are looking for some help from the team. When we run MRP, our purchase requisitions are being created with wanted delivery dates short of lead time if there is already a confirmed purchase req in existance that has not been received yet. IFS is assuming that we can simply consolidate these POs, even though the new demand does not give enough lead time. Is there a setting that will allow all new purchase reqs to create at lead time regardless of other open purchase reqs existing? EXAMPLE BELOWToday is 6/3Part has a 40 day lead time.There is a purchase req already existing that was created on 5/19 that is due 6/28New demand is introduced, mrp runs, and a new purchase req is created today (6/3) with a wanted delivery date of 6/28 instead of 7/13 (40 day lead time)IFS is assuming that I can consolidate the POs, however, I am now only giving 25 days lead time for the new demand. Is there a setting that is turned on that is causing
We recently began using MRP and DDMRP to create purchase reqs for our planning method “G” and “H” parts. We are having an issue though, because when we allow MRP to create the purchase reqs for a work or shop order, the system does not reserve the material to the work order or shop order when it comes in.Is there a way, or a background job that we can run that will auto reserve material to work orders and shop orders where MRP created the purchase req required for the work or shop order? Thanks,Sarah
I am looking for direction on how to set the system up to allocate costing accurately when we have to order in batch qtys. For instance, our supplier sells the part in boxes of 100. We have to order from the supplier in eaches, so we order 1 box from the supplier. When we receive it into inventory, it is received in as one box. How do we reconcile this when we begin utilizing this material in work orders, shop orders etc? We want to be sure that the costing works appropriately and that we are only allocating cost for the portion of the material that we use. Is there a way to purchase in box qtys, but receive in single qtys for costing purposes without messing anything up?
We are having an issue with the incorrect location printing on the label. If a part has more than one location in the system, regardless of what location we choose to move the parts to, the label will print out with the location at the top of the list. My IT team is telling me that no solution exists for this issue, but our past system (Cedar Bay) never had this issue and it seems like a basic functionality requirement not to have a solution.I am hoping someone can assist so that we can get this fixed right away. It is causing some chaos in our warehouses. Thanks very much for any help you can give! Sarah
I am the supply chain manager for my company and I am wondering if there is an out of the box IFS lobby that shows all of the inventory information such as total inventory, aged, excess etc. Also, is there a lobby for Supply Chain Management KPIs that is out of the box?
Good afternoon. We have been implementing DDMRP and have now also purchased demand planner and IPR. I am curious if it is more advantageous to use DDMRP than IPR? Is DDMRP the next step beyond IPR? Is it that we may want to use DDMRP for some parts, while using IPR for others? All the best, Sarah
Team - Is there a WIP report for Work Orders that is similar to the “Shop Order Work in Progress” report? Or just a total WIP report that captures both?
