Supply Chain

Hi community!My customer is going to start using Internal trade between there companies A and B. Now er need to figure out how to fix the return of material as smooth as possible. Is there a nice setup or solution that anyone has for this issue? The standard process seems a bit “heavy”.  In this case company A takes material from Company B´s warehouse and sometimes the material is not consumed and returned. Can you somehow have a fast track where you just return the material and all the adminastrative work is handled automaically? Thanks for any input in this matter :) Best regardsEmma 

Using IFS Cloud version 25R1.We would like to have a custom action button on the Receive with Serials fly out window:We need to be able to assign a new internal serial number for a part that is coming in for repair and has never been assigned a Serial Number.It seems documentation is saying this flyout can’t be modified with form designer.  Any help would be appreciated.

In IFS Cloud, we set up the customer order delivery lead time per customer adress with the customer supply chain matrix.But, when using single occurence adress; this delivery lead time is not updated.So, is there a way to create a supply chain matrix per county and not per customer adress??In others words, is there a way to set up lead time on higher level than the customer??Thanks in advancePhilippe

Similar to the Cardex (P4111) in JDEdwards, is there a way to see a running inventory balance (quantity) of a part?

A producing company assemble large units that are serial trackedThe unit is dis-assembled after finalized quality control and testing and stored in different locations and on different pallets. Challanges to be solvedKeep track of the completet unit as it is one serial no, when splitted in reality, to multiple locations The serial No cannot be splitted in inventory and placed system vice in different location, further more, no inventory movement kan be done per pallet. In shipment you cannot handle the pallets as you must have a qty in each pallet, in this case you have several pallets in reality but as it is one serial no, the qty can only be in one of the pallets. Following information about content, weight etc needed for transport booking. Yes, you can have a shipment and not add handling units but the company has a mix of products, large units packed on different pallets and in same shipment to the customer normal handl

Hi,How is it possible to send a purchase order in csv format to the supplyer of the purchase order when i am printing the purchase order ? 

Hi,We are using APPS10 and would like to know whether it is possible to replicate a document text from the Customer Order header to the Shipment header, so that it can be printed on the Shipment Delivery Note.The customer has the setting “Replicate Doc Text” enabled. We have tested adding document text to the Customer Order header, but it does not appear on the Delivery Note. However, when we add the document text at the Customer Order line level, it is successfully replicated and printed at the Delivery Note line level.Is there a way to have the document text from the Customer Order header replicated to the Shipment header and printed on the Delivery Note?

We are evaluating using 3 part numbers for our rebuilt parts process instead of using a Condition Code enabled single part: a part number for NEW, CORE and REBUILT. The part can only be rebuilt a finite number of times thus serialization is required.Parts received from a customer via an RMA as well as parts that are remanufactured in-house using a remanufacturing shop order trigger the automatic rename of the serial that was implemented with the introduction of the Serial Lifecycle Group functionality.But the majority of CORES are not rebuilt in-house but are sent out instead to a supplier on a normal Purchase Order as Supplied Material. When I try to receive the REBUILT part using the same serial number as the CORE the following error message is triggered:Does anybody know what issue types and receipt types are supported for the

Is it possible to automatically uncheck the 'Release for material Planning' checkbox by default while adding the Customer order lines?It is required because Purchase Requisition (demand) is generated automatically on Supply Site when CO header is in status Planned for the added line level when supply code is selected as “Int Purch Dir”. or Can we make a tick mark or check the “Release for Material Planning” checkbox after releasing the Customer order no matter which supply code is chosen.So kindly suggest? 

Hello,Kindly help me with below issue.After deletion of Purchase grp , what are the activities impacted in procurement process ?Thanks in advance. 

HiI have set up internal trade between to sites within the same company, and this is running in our production database. We did a copy of PROD to TEST-environment late last year, but internal trade doesn not seem to work - the connectivity setup is the same, set to ON and the processes are running in Database processes, but the message that is created in the OUT-messagebox only gets status Released, not Accepted - as we get in PROD-environment. And the message is not transferred to IN-messagebox. So this is the purchase order which is sent and should create a customer order on the receiving site. Is there any other processes or queues or technical setup that could be set to OFF when doing a copy of the database like this?As i said - all connetivity setup and customer/supplier setup is correct as it is running in PROD.Best regardsSonja Berg

I would expect it to to be possible to deactivate or hide handling unit types that are no longer in use, but that does not seem to be a choice: Anyone know how to do this? 

I can’t seem to get the capability check to consider excess supply (a purchase order) during its calculation. I have a [level 2] purchased component that is included within the critical path determined by the capability check. I then created a PO for this part to arrive in tomorrow. When I re-ran the capability check it does not considering this purchase order. It is using the lead time of the this purchase part, even though we have “excess supply” arriving tomorrow. I have tested using both Inventory Part settings DOP Netting = “Netting” and “Auto Netting”. Neither setting for my purchase component is correctly netting against the PO. I also tried applying these setting for all parts in the multi-level structure. The capability check still was not netting against the excess supply / PO. IFS documentation states the netting applies to both excess inventory and excess supply quantities. Does this hold true for DOP Netting and Capability Check Netting? Is there an

Hello everyone,I am encountering an issue with an inter-company subcontracting flow between two internal sites (Site 0175 and Site 0210) using the "Customer Order" component method.Context & Setup: Site 0175 (Internal Customer) orders Part AB from Site 0210 (Internal Supplier). Purchase Component Method: Set to "Customer Order". Product Structure: Part AB is a Purchase structure containing components A and B. Message Setup: MHS flow is active for both sites (ORDERS, DESADV, etc.).The Flow: Site 0175 releases a Purchase Order (P330) for Part AB. This automatically generates a Component Customer Order (P227) on Site 0175 to ship components A & B to the supplier (Site 0210).

We are trying to determine if there is a way to see what line items were included in a specific delivery note.  When we deliver lines and go thru the order process, it creates a delivery note but it shows all lines on the order in the delivery note screen.  We need to tie a line to a delivery note.  Is this possible?

We received a weighted average costed part with a Supplier Invoice Consideration that is Transaction Based.  The wrong price was on the original PO and we sold the parts to a customer.  The Detailed Statistics screen is showing the sale price with the wrong cost field.  The PO cost was updated and the supplier invoice was posted and processed to reflect the change in price.  On the Inventory Transaction page, we can see the change in the costs and the appropriate accounting entries to reflect the change in the Cost of Good Sold account.  However, we run the Detailed Statistics nightly, and the invoice in question, has not had the cost updated as reflected in the journal entry.  Is there something we can do to update the Detail Statistics - Invoiced Sales data.  We export this data into a Power BI data warehouse to run reports and this one is not reflected correctly.

HI In Page Designer, there are missing fields that I need to add, which are located in the Purchase_part table and PurchasePart entity. How do I do this? KR

In the IFS Product documentation, it is stated that the general rating for the supplier will be generated and updated based on the outcome of the selected evaluation. In other words, the overall score obtained from the evaluation will correspond to a specific rating that will be assigned to the supplier.  Note that it mentions “the selected” evaluation but does not indicate how an evaluation can be selected. I have done the rating and evaluation value mapping in the Supplier Rating screen. Then I have done a Supplier Peformance Evaluation and published it after the results were generated. But the Supplier’s SRM tab does not reflect the general rating based on the mappings defined in Supplier Rating. Am I missing something? TIA

We are using IFS Applications 10 with Approval Templates for Purchase Orders. I would like to understand how an approval decision can be revoked once an approver has already taken a decision.In our approval setup, there are multiple approval steps. When one of the approvers rejects the Purchase Order, we correct the issue or query in the PO and attempt to resend the approval. Although the system allows us to add another approval step, the previously rejected step remains locked, and the same approver is not allowed to take a new decision. please clarify whether it is possible to fully restart the approval process after a rejection so that all approvers, including the one who rejected earlier, can approve again? If this is not possible, please confirm the standard and recommended approach in IFS Applications 10 for handling such scenarios.

Do you any of you out there in the Community have need for outbound inspections as you send out shipments?  This is a requirement of our business. Currently, we use IFS9 and have a heavily customized set of logical units and fields to support an outbound inspection process on our Shipments.  A version of it is also used on our Transport Tasks. As we kick off our upgrade to Cloud 25R2, I’m trying to think of alternative ways to do those inspections, whether in or out of the system.  If we used some sort of external process, at least we could maybe cut down our custom material to some minimal custom fields, rather than needing to apply business logic.  If any of you are already using any of these processes, I’d love to hear your stories!

Hello.My understanding isthat the Promised Delivery Date on a Customer Order Line should stay as is if the order/line is confirmed.I have created this order and confirmed.I then change the target date to 08/06/2026, I expected the Planned Delivery Date and the Planned Ship Date to align, however expected the Promised Delivery Date to be kept. Is my understanding wrong?
