How to manage global demand of a manufactured part

Hi Team,I have created a Customer Hierarchy, and I am trying to associate a Rebate Agreement to the Customer Hierarchy. Once, I check the box for “Use Hierarchy” and then enter my “Hierarchy - ID”, it is presenting me with a warning pop-up message regarding Assortments.Why is this? I am not planning to use Assortments, and the Agreement Type I selected is “Use Sales Part Rebate Group”.    Best Regards,Alex

Hello,When deactivating a code in the system, there is currently no warning indicating whether the code is still being used in the background. As a result, I have to manually check multiple screens one by one to verify its usage.To improve efficiency and prevent potential errors, I kindly request support for either implementing a warning system that notifies users if the code is actively in use, or providing a shortcut that displays all related usage points.The main areas I currently have to check manually are:Work orders screen (whether there are any open work orders) Production structure (whether the parent item has any open work orders) Sales order lines (whether there are ongoing orders) Purchase order lines (whether there are any open purchase requests) Stock status (whether there is available stock in the system)Automating these checks within the system would help prevent user errors an

Hi IFS Community, Subject:Our sales team wants to implement a customer leveling system (segmentation) within IFS. The goal is to categorize customers based on their value/performance: Level A: Top-tier customers Level B/C: Mid-tier Level D: Low-performing or "poor" customers What is the most efficient way to handle this in IFS Apps 10? We are considering a few options: Customer Statistic Group: Using the standard "Stat Group" field on the Customer record. Custom Fields: Creating a persistent custom field with a fixed List of Values (LoV). Customer Category: Utilizing the built-in Category field (though this is often used for Prospect/Customer distinction). My questions are: Which s

Good afternoon,I’m working with a customer who relies heavily on flyer promotions and is facing challenges in keeping promotional uplifts out of the Adjusted Demand, which then affects the statistical forecast.I’d really appreciate insights or best practices from others who have solved similar scenarios in IFS Cloud Demand Planning. Customer BackgroundThis customer’s sales are strongly influenced by flyer campaigns — short-term promotional periods with significantly increased volumes and reduced pricing. These uplifts do not represent baseline demand, and the customer wants to ensure they don’t contaminate the historical demand used for forecasting. What they tried so far1. Campaigns (previous solution)

Is it possible to send a POST request using Postman or another tool via a REST API, and also have the same transaction captured as an Application Message in IFS Cloud?For example, if I create a new Inventory Part using a REST API POST request, can that request (or its details) be logged as an Application Message, so that it records information related to the payload for tracking or auditing purposes?

Hi AllI see the following behaviour in IFS and I am thinking whether the behaviour is correct.I have enabled the following setting in the company level. Environment - 24R2Delay Cost of Goods Sold to Delivery Confirmation   I followed following steps.Created a customer order with delivery confirmation enabled Reserve the customer order and deliver the customer order through a shipment OESHIP transactions are not getting created because of the Delay Cost of Goods Sold to Delivery Confirmation setting. My assumption was I can create a R

Hi community,I have a question around scrapping causes. I only just noticed in 25R2 (it is possible in earlier versions as well though so not sure when the change happened) that it is possible to delete scrapping causes despite them having been used in previous transactions. I am really confused by this because I am used to the fact that you cannot delete basic data if it has been previously used. Hence the reason, you have an option there to block the item.However, it is possible to delete the scrapping causes regardless of whether they have been used in an inventory scrap or not. The only time I cannot delete it, is when the scrapping cause has been used to scrap parts during a receipt. Then, I do still get an error saying I cannot delete the scrapping cause. This doesn’t make sense to me but that is not to say that IFS haven’t done this intentional and there is good reason why there is a difference between an inventory and receipt scrap. 

Hi all,we plan to use FIFO valuation method for some companies/sites.While doing some testing on top of FIFO we see some challenges like:Intra-company transfers between sites when doing transfer from site using STD to site using FIFO with internal CO/PO, the FIFO bucket in receiving site is valuated by STD cost from the sending site to avoid any artificial profit/loss to be created during the transfer and ignoring any freight charges on the internal PO connected to the transfer      Not possible to cancel internal receipts system is not allowing to cancel internal receipt when FIFO is used Recalculation of FIFO bucket cost history in case of a mistake I’m actually note sure if this is a pain (but I can imagine under some circumstances it could be), ​​​but ​​​​it seems there is no system support to recalculate FIFO bucket cost history in case of a

If an MS1 part has forecast from Demand Planner within the Planning Time Fence, should a delivered Customer Order consume the forecasted amount within the PTF?  Should the forecast from Demand Planner even be in the Planning Time Fence?How would forward consumption affect this item? Are there recommended settings for the forecast to be consumed during PTF? Please see the attached document for samples

Enabling “Negative On-Hand Allowed” on the inventory part is a mandatory prerequisite for using the Catch Unit feature.However, during testing:configured an inventory part with Catch Unit enabled  The “Negative On-Hand Allowed” option was not enabled  I successfully completed the full Order-to-Cash process (CO → Shop Order → CO Delivery → Invoicing)No validation, warning, or error was triggered at any stage of the process.

Clicking Share > Print on a purchase order created from a distribution order results in an error, “The operation is not possible for a purchase order created from a distribution order.”Is there a workaround or setting that will allow users to print a purchase order created from a distribution order?  

 Hello,I need help. The price of my supplier item link is no longer appearing in my distribution order, and I want this price to be transferred to the purchase order and sales order, as in the intercompany flow. Supplier for purchase part  

There is a requirement for an Intercompany (IC) set up when the business unit operates in IFS Applications 8 and the manufacturing plant operates in IFS Cloud. Apps 8 raises an external Customer Order and an Intercompany Purchase Order; Cloud creates the internal trade Customer Order, manufactures, ships, and invoices. Anyone who has handled a similar requirement? since this is not possible without an integration customer will go for an integration set up, is using connect will be the best possible choice?What should be focused on when designing the solution in this direction? should we use purch order direct purch order transit rather than int purch dir and int purch transit if the customer and supplier is treated separately in different DBs?, tips and ideas are welcome :) (APP 8 BUs will come to cloud eventually but not now so this is an interim solution until all comes to cloud.)   

Hello, I keep running into the problem that I only need to place a single order with a supplier. If I create a new supplier every time I do this, the number of suppliers in IFS quickly shoots up. Is there a way to create a ‘dummy’ supplier that I can adapt each time I want to place a new order? The ‘one-off supplier’ function isn’t suitable here.

We’re using Shipments in IFS to be able to consolidate lines from different customer orders that are shipping to the same customer location, that could all ship together to save our customers some freight costs.  We’ve been trying to get IFS to send the customer order number, listed on the Shipment page on the Shipment Lines tab as “Source Ref 1” and to date, we have had no success. Has anyone had any success with getting fields mapped from the Shipment page over into PaceJet?  

We build sub-components that we build in advance for a customer, sell it to them and then hold in our inventory until needed for production.  Is there a simpler way to get this in our inventory as Customer-Owned other than sell and “deliver” on a Customer Order and the “buy” back on a PO?

Hello.  I am new to IFS (several weeks) and am looking to implement Visual Planning.  One of the key aspects of successfully maximizing machine load is to start the set up of one job while the previous job is finishing.  To do this, I need visibility into the setup times of each job.  We do not want more than one operation to plan by, so the goal is to get the visual on setup within the bar representing the total time on the job.  Is there a way to do this?     

Hi All,With regards to the new CBAM requirements coming into affect from Oct 2023, is there presently, a  defined documented solution for this or is IFS planning to provide a solution (CBAM Reporting) for its customers?  

Hello IFS Community,I’ve encountered a scenario in IFS Cloud 25R2 (and previous versions) where Automatic Matching on Supplier Invoice does not trigger for approved Milestone Stage Payments of Purchase Orders.After some investigation, it appears this is a known product limitation rather than a configuration error. To get this working, a product enhancement is required to support fully automated matching for these specific payment types.Has anyone else found a creative workaround for this, or should we rally together to upvote this as a formal Idea/Enhancement request? IFS.AI Analysis  Summary of causeStage/milestone payments are handled as amount-only stage payments (they do not track receipt quantities), so supplier invoice matching does not use receipt quantity and therefore automatic matching against PO receipts won’t work as with normal (quantity-based) PO matc

Hello everyone, Does anyone know if it's possible to set a default Freight Payer ID for each site? A customer is using the same forwarder for multiple sites under the same company. Do they need to create separate accounts since the sites are part of the same company?  Thanks and regardsMaycon
