Since the Target Date follows the received Wanted Delivery Date, the original customer requested delivery date is no longer visible on the supply site order.The original customer Wanted Delivery Date is an important reference point for planning. Even when internal planning dates change, visibility of the customer's original requested date helps the planning team understand the customer's expectation and work towards delivering as close to that date as possible.

Hi,There are 4 input values sources to supplier evaluation KPIs and workflow is one. I tried to find a place in the system to connect a workflow to the KPI but is not visible. When we generated automated KPI values, how does a workflow get triggered?Thank you

■BackgroundI understand that, when using DDMRP, users need to define their own values for the Lead Time Category and Variability Category.To optimize inventory levels, we would like to set appropriate values for the Lead Time Category and Variability Category. What criteria or methodology should be used to determine these values?For context, we are considering using DDMRP for the procurement of purchased items, rather than for manufactured items.■QuestionWhen using DDMRP, how should the Lead Time Category and Variability Category be determined?

In Apps 10, which mechanism allows the Planned Delivery Date to remain fixed while the Planned Receipt Date is recalculated forward when the Mode of Delivery is changed on the PO line?

Hi,  When we enable M102 - Pre accounting Purch Order Part Lines posting control for a particular code part on IFS with control type C58 - Mandatory Pre Posting, I expected the system to trigger a pop up at the point of saving the Purchase Order Lines to enter the pre postings. In my case, this did not happen, it worked as expected when the M108 - Pre accounting Purch Order No Part Lines is defined as mandatory - where at the point of saving a no part order line the system triggers the pop up window to define the pre postings. Can I know the reason behind this difference in behavior is and if there is anything additional that needs to be done to achieve similar behavior as the no part order lines instance. Thank you.  Best RegardsAkila

HI all,We’re trying to get a list of deleted customer order lines (Not cancelled) on IFS. Is there a report on IFS that has this info?Also is it possible to stop users deleting order lines (remove delete functionality) and instead just cancelling them?We are on IFS Cloud.

Dear Community, How can we change the settings so that in the event of any modification to the price of the purchase order, approvals must be taken again, because at the present time on the existing options, the price on the order may be successfully modified with the same old approvals.the screenshot below shows the current setup.  Regards

Are business users do not like the new toggle at the top of many screens such as the Change Request that says, “Show only current results”.  They have asked for this toggle to be turned off by default.I haven’t been able to find a way to turn it off by default via a setting. I am plying with an alternative solution to the Toggle being set to on for a given page.It appears by creating a custom menu to navigate to a Internal page I can control the parameter.This is the text of the Page URL used:  page/ChangeRequests/List;usedefaultfilter=false  My big question is what is the downside of this option.  Are there permission issues I am not thinking of will future updates break what we have done here? Thoughts are appreciated.

In IFS Cloud (and Apps10) a User that creates a Rental Part Requisition Line, cannot manually amend the Price. Users can amend the Requisition Price for a Part Requisition Line, but NOT for a Rental Part Requisition Line. Where companies have their DOA established at Purchase Requisition stage via Purchase Requisition Authorisation Rules, there is not way for a User to amend the Rental Price without going through the longer RFOQ process. If prices fluctuate for Rent In Parts and the SFPP record(s) cannot be easily maintained across a number of Suppliers for the Purchase Part, then a User is forced to either have the PR Rental Line authorised at the wrong value, or go through the RFOQ process which is too long when a only a simple price amendment prior to Authorisation is required. The Rental Price CAN be amended at Purchase Order Stage so this feels like an oversight. It prevents companies having a robust Authorisation processes for Rent In Parts and can result in DOA’s being bypassed.

1) ClassificationLocalization – Japan / Legal and Regulatory Compliance2) Brief DescriptionWe request standard Japanese localization functionality to support compliance with the Act on Preventing Delay in Payment to Small and Medium-Sized Entrusted Business Operators in Relation to Manufacturing Consignment.The requested functionality should:Identify suppliers and transactions subject to the Act.Prevent the release of zero-value purchase orders and control price reductions after order placement.Ensure that the scheduled payment date falls within 60 days of the actual receipt date.Context and ScopeCurrently, these requirements must be addressed through custom fields, Quick Reports, BPA validations and manual controls.This approach presents the following risks:Missing or incorrect classification of applicable suppliersReliance on manual checksComplex BPA logic connecting supplier attributes, receipt dates and payment termsHigh regression-testing effort after IFS Cloud upgradesCustomer-sp

If we set ‘Site to Site supply chain parameters the ‘Transport Lead Time’ it considered for the PO in demand site. we can see separate Arrival date and Delivery date based on the number of days that we set for Transport Lead Time.But when we set Direct Shipment to Demand Site parameters in ‘Supplier to Site Supply Chain Parameters’ page it is not considering the Transport Lead Time for the PO in demand site.Is there any additional configuration exists in direction shipments to get separate Arrival date and Delivery date?

However, users have shared concern to allow them to proceed both the options same time which will save time on proceeding with many RMA’s at same time. At the current state even, users have changed the condition; allowing users to proceed the “Approve for Credit” and “Create Credit Invoice” same time, even setting both conditions “YES”, it does not create the Customer Credit Invoice.B.

Hi everyone,I have a question regarding multi-site planning between sites belonging to different IFS databases.The IFS documentation states that Distribution Orders cannot be used to move parts directly between different databases. However, it also mentions that Inter-site Purchase Orders and Inter-site Customer Orders can be used between different databases, with Message Handling configured to send the inter-site PO to the supply site.My question is specifically about the technical connectivity between the two IFS databases.For example:Database A → Company A → Site A (Demand Site) Database B → Company B → Site B (Supply Site)If an Inter-site PO is created in Database A and needs to create the corresponding Inter-site CO in Database B:How is the connection between Database A and Database B established in IFS Cloud?

Community,any idea where Receipt RMA saved the conversion rate? see the screenshot attached.when the arrival qty CS is entered, system automatically multiply by 20 in the inventory UOM CS, there must be the old rate is being captured somewhere in the system, though we already correct them all in Sales Part, and Supplier for Purchase Part. Thank you. 

Hello Community,I am looking for standard IFS Cloud functionality to support a customer requirement within the shipment process.The customer would like to perform a container inspection before shipment delivery. Users should complete a questionnaire with approximately 20 inspection points and record the results directly in IFS.Examples include:Door frame in good condition (Yes/No) Ventilation holes open (Yes/No) Floor humidity (%) (numeric value) Overall condition (Good/Fair/Poor)The questionnaire contains a mixture of Yes/No answers, numeric values, comments and predefined selections.I have already reviewed Approval Routing and related approval functionality. However, this appears to be focused on approval decisions (Approve/Reject) and does not seem suitable for capturing structured inspection data such as numeric values, comments or multiple inspection attributes.As an alternative, the inspection process could be performed in a third-party application, with the completed inspection

 Hello,I'm using version 25.2 and I'm looking for the “service code” field for B2G customers, but I can't find it. The data is carried over to the sales order, but I still can't find it there. Could you please tell me where it is?  version 25.2  

Is it possible to configure in the system the multiple order quantity logic : the quantity wished has to be rounded to a multiple quantity.Example :A supplier is always selling parts in box of 20.Project demand = 25I want the system to inform me that I should order 40, because multiple quantity is 20. 

Hello, When a customer order is created via EDI (ORDERS message), the behavior is as follows:The Price Freeze flag is automatically set to True on the customer order line.However, we have noticed that after processing ORDCHG messages, the Price Freeze flag is set to False for newly created lines.Is this the expected behavior? If so, could you explain the rationale behind this difference between ORDERS and ORDCHG processing?

I am attempting to receive email notifications for PO authorization in the CFG environment. Below is the description of my scenario:When a purchase order is released, the authorizers should be notified via email. To enable this functionality, I have activated the event action. However, the authorizers are not receiving any email notifications.When the Notification Scheduler is scheduled, then the notifications starts sending mails (each time the schedule executes). Is this the way the application needs to be configured?
