asked in Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

In our site, we have one part number, for which we use Inventory Part Planning Manuf/Acquired split (50%/50%) What of course means that 50% of supply is purchased and another 50% is produced But there is one problem with that parts with Lead Times Differences Of course, Purchasing Lead time is far ahead of manufacturing lead time. It entails the thing that we are releasing purchase order much earlier than prodution order And lets say we have a demand for the date X for 200 pcs. Because of the split 100 of them has purchase requisiton and another 100 has shop order requisition When the Purchase requisiton is released and SO req isn't then there is 100 covered by PO and 100 uncovered. After next MRP this uncovered 100 pcs is again netted and calculated with the 50% split So on next day we have a 100 PO released. 50 pcs po req and 50 pcs SO req. In total it gives us split of 75% vs 25% instead of desired 50/50 Do you believe is there any way to avoid that, an

Procurement of packing materials

Hi, I have created a Packing Instruction in terms of Pallets and Cartons that can automatically create a packing structure to ship a variable large qty of a part. The way it can create the packing structure is really neat. But does anyone know if there is a way for IFS to automatically procure the Pallets and Cartons (and any other packing materials) that would be needed for a Shipment. There doesn't seem to be a way of defining what’s needed in terms of Inventory Parts that would get picked up as a Demand in the system. I would like these to be ordered as and when required, in advance, so the packing structure for the Shipment could be created and the Pallets/Cartons ordered prior to actually packing the Parts. Unless I’m missing something it appears as if the actual packing materials are always assumed to be on hand in the warehouse. But I can’t believe that’s the case, knowing the capability of IFS. Thanks for your help!

Remove Handling Units when using receive dispatch advice

Hey guys, does anyone know a smart and automatic way to unattach parts from HUs when receiving a PO via dispatch advice? We have huge EDI shipments which will be received automatically via the Receive_Dispatch_Advice___ functionality, but as far as i have seen in the system and in the code it will only not consider HUs if you receive it to default location. I don’t think there is a setting to ignore HUs when receiving, but would be glad to be proofen wrong here. Does anyone have any experience with this or some good ideas/workarounds? Thanks, Johannes

MRP 'Original Due' and 'Planned Due'

Hi guys, In ‘Shop Order Requisitions’, there are two columns called ‘Original Due’ and ‘Planned Due’. This determine the ‘Need Dates’ for the works orders that are raised by accepting the requisitions in question. In turn, dictating to APB (our CBS engine) what to prioritize when a trade-off is required given resource limitations. How can those dates be changed? Namely, for SST items under planning method B/C. For demand released by a customer or projects that would involve editing the required date, performing MRP and alignment via MRP Action Proposals. How can we change the Orig. and PLD Due dates for SST items so they are called for now. thanks, jay

Object references

In IFS 75 version Reference_sys package during refresh active list has validation that CASCADE option is only valid for P - primary key. Since IFS 8 version there is no that validation. I want to ask whether CASCADE option for A - attribute column or K - key are proper AQS behaviour? It make sens to use it? Check following query which shows many examples from standard code SELECT DVC.LU_NAME, DVC.VIEW_NAME, DVC.COLUMN_NAME, DVC.COLUMN_REFERENCE, DVC.TYPE_FLAG FROM DICTIONARY_SYS_VIEW_COLUMN DVC WHERE DVC.COLUMN_REFERENCE IS NOT NULL AND DVC.COLUMN_NAME NOT IN ('OBJID', 'OBJVERSION', 'OBJEVENTS', 'OBJSTATE') AND SUBSTR(DVC.VIEW_NAME, -4) <> '_REP' AND COLUMN_REFERENCE LIKE '%CASCADE%' AND TYPE_FLAG NOT in ('P'/*,'K'*/) order by lu_name

Output Team Absence Requests to Outlook

Hi everyone, Is there a way to setup IFS to update update an Outlook calendar with Absence Requests? For example a supervisor could see all absence requests from his team/supervised employees directly on his Outlook Calendar vs having to go to IFS and view each employee’s Absence calendar for a month. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nik

AP Invoice Matching

Hello everyone. We scan our invoices using FastAP and feed it into IFS. If we create a receiving document in IFS before the invoice is entered into IFS the system will automatically match it. If we enter the invoice into IFS before a receiving document is created we have to manually match the two. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Thank you.

New Lobby Element Not Appearing on Lobby Page

I am editing an existing Lobby we created and added a Description element. It’s on the page but when I view the Lobby Page in another session as a User, it doesn’t appear. If I then leave the Lobby Element Designer and reenter my Element is gone. How do I “save it” so it shows to the user? (plus I get an error- perhaps that’s why it doesn’t show?)

Combination Search in Aurena

Hi all, I would like to have some guidance over the development approach for the following layout in Aurena. I need to populate the details table on the basis of manually entering part no(s) . User may fill any of four part no. and check-uncheck checkboxes in header and then click on search. After clicking on search , these values should go only in where clause of detail table (as the part no. in header is not directly linked with detail table below) Do we have any such screen already available in Aurena? Thanks in anticipation

Apps 9 UD15 link between Purchase No Part Order Line and Project Delivery Address

Hi Community, In a similar manner to the question relating to Apps 10 Purchase Order and Project linkage, in Apps 9 Update 15, the No Part Order Line entry has the Delivery Address as a mandatory field. What would be the process to enable removal of the line delivery address? The rationale for this is that we have the head office site and the specific delivery location is at a different site, and the application of two different addresses is confusing to Suppliers. Before UD15 we were able to remove the line delivery address without error. Are we simply restricted to the process of changing the line or header delivery addresses to match? Any and all thoughts/guidance will be appreciated. Kind regards

We're considering that IFS receive image files from an external system, execute the Document Attachment function in batch processing, and keep links with datas stored in any remote server, not the database.

Which IFS Integration API's use / do not use Primavera API's

We used to use the IFS Integration module but stopped when we could not agree licensing for Integration or OPG with Oracle i.e. it was going to be too expensive for us. We are currently looking at writing a custom interface (probably using APEX) but need to avoid the Oracle Primavera API's. Rather than writing everything from scratch have you information on the IFS Integration API's : What can we / cannot use by way of the API's, which ones call Primavera API's and which ones wholly use IFS code OR do you call some Primavera API's from within your code, if so what do we need to avoid? I thought we might be able to call some of your code from say APEX to create a custom integration instead of starting from scratch. Any information you can provide would be gratefully received. I hope I have explained the issue sufficiently."

Apps10 environment totally locked up?

Has anyone else ever had Apps10 (UPD5 in our case) completely lock up and require stop and restart of the server services using mws-svr? In the most recent instance last week, after a successful STOP using mws-svr, the entire VM actually locked up during the START and required a ‘hard’ reboot from the VM console. No errors were seen in the logs at all; they just have no entries from after the time of the freeze showing a happy system doing normal processing until then. Unfortunately after the VM rebooted we had some file corruption and missing files that required a recovery from backup. I can’t tell for sure if the files were damaged or missing before the stop/start or if that happened from the forced VM reboot. So: Are we the only ones seeing anything like this? Has anyone else experienced issues with IFS Applications Server just stopping, or with files becoming corrupted or missing during normal operation? Thanks, Nick

Project managers and expense sheets of their projects

The access to expense sheets is controlled by “Position – Access Setup” in IFS. This way, a project manager will be able or not to visualize the expense sheets connected to his/her project depending on the position of the employees. Customer would like that a project manager could have access to all the expense sheets that belonged to his/her own project. The only way knows to achieve this target is enabling all the project managers the access to all the positions. But, if define this way, all the project managers could be able to visualize every expense sheet of any employee in any project, even if they had not access to the project. Customer have tried to define a new “access attribute” adding as a column name a custom field, but it is not included in the value list. Also have tried to define as the “old value” in the “access attribute” a select sentence, but it is considered as an invalid value when try to save it.cannot use an event either because all want is to visualize, not to m
