Discrepancy between the Demand Planner and the exported forecast into MS1

Can you experts share your knowledge and confirm it the system behaves as expected or if there is some bug/missing settings?Below is the description of what we found out: The System is adding additional forecast just beyond Planning time fence, where it’s not needed, since the forecast within the Planning time fence already exists and covers weekly needs. The Total forecast for May in MS1 is stated as 40,5124 according to the Demand Planner Importing Demand Planning forecast: The system is adding additional demand on the 8th of May which is not correct, since there is already a forecast for the 6th of May, that covers the entire week.

Payment Terms for Customer Agreement

Hi,Does anyone know if we can define different Payment Terms for Customer Agreements in IFS (Cloud)?Customer (in real life) can negotiate for better prices, discounts AND better payment terms for different Agreements .In Customer Agreement we define special prices, discounts, delivery terms etc. That is great.But what about Payment Terms?One Customer can have different Agreements, but only one payment(?)Br.

RMA processing after IFS go-live phase when data exist only in legacy tools

Hi Community, We’ve proceeded to our Go-Live and have migrated all outstanding data concerning customer orders, PO’s, etc…. Historical data remains within our legacy software.We are considering that we’ll face the situation where a customer will contact us for items that he would like to return to us as RMA (either for credit or rework/replacement).As it will concern data that won't be in IFS as not been migrated, we are wondering how it could be handled.So here, it’s more a post to ask you for advice/knowledge on how you handled such situation where an RMA needs to be processed in IFS while data exist only legacy software.Thanks in advance for your comments and experiences. Regards.

Is It Possible to Change the Name of an Entire Warehouse?

Is there any way in the Warehouse Structure and Attributes to change the name of an entire warehouse to avoid having to create all new locations. We historically have a location name imbedded in the warehouse name and we recently moved making that location no longer relevant. A simple example of this could be stated as saying our warehouse name was warehouse “Columbus” and we would like to change its name to anything different, say “Warehouse 1”. We have moved the entire warehouse and locations, so this name is ultimately just causing confusion now. We are not looking to change the location naming convention at all since it meets our purposes completely.

Kanban Circuits adding line to old Transport Task

We are using IFS cloud version 23R.1.8. Goal to solve: I want to set-up a storage at the production line with the most commonly used materials (eg. screws, bolts, washers). I will use real time consumption to decrease the stock-levels at the production storage. Once the level of material is below a certain point I want to automatically get more material from our main storage. Therefore I have set my eyes on using Kanban Circuits to solve this with signal type Automatic (Reorder Point).Problem:I have successfully created a Kanban Circuit in our test environment (which has production data), activated it and made a replenishment using “Kanban Reorder Point Request”. A Transport Task (TT) of the needed quantity is created automatically, so far so good.My problem is that the reserved articles are not placed on a new TT but on a closed TT from 2020. I have tried different locations and get the same issue, but it varies on which existing TT it places the material on. It never creates a new TT

Issue Materials - Dispatch Report

Hi AllOur German site need the below setup to comply with a legal requirement there: When issueing material from the Project Navigator, they need to generate a dispatch number and record subcontractor details and the date issued. Do you know if an existing report in IFS could help with that or any other creative way of doing it? App9 UPD14 is used right now, but will be on cloud soon. Thanks,Asela

CO Invoice in Error - "Only a Tax Code with Zero percentage ..."

Has anyone encountered issues in Apps9 where a Customer Order Invoice errors with the below message? The setup is a bit complex - multi site in the same company, multiple places of supply therefore multiple tax situations for the customer, but this error only occurred when I created a CO and applied “Additional Discount” in the CO header. I processed another CO on exactly the same site/customer/parts/tax scenario with discount on the CO lines, and the invoice processed without error. “CO Invoice in Error - "Only a Tax Code with Zero percentage is allowed when Customer is exempted for Taxes..." Any thoughts/suggestions/solutions gratefully received! ThanksLinda

Register Arrival (into inventory) for self-billing without Receipt Reference

Hi Communiy, I have experience the below system behavior in Register Arrival on 24.1E environment.When I enter ‘Register Arrival’ for PO line with self-billing, Receipt Reference is NOT required.The generated PO supplier invoice has an invoice numbe which comes from counter of ‘AS’ Series ID instead of Receipt Reference.However, if I use different compnay/site in the same envrionment, I can not reprodue this case by using the same pruchase part and supplier. I was required to enter Receipt Reference when I enter arrival registration in this case. Do you have any idea how can I make self-billing PO invoice without Receipt Reference?The below screen shot describes self-billing invoice generated from PO receipt. This one has AUTSUPPINV invoice type and but Receipt Reference is NOT required. Regards,Kohei Okigami

Stock movement

Good morning Everyone,We have a doubt considering stock movement in IFS APP 10.Besides permission sets, availability controls and controls on sites, warehouses, locations and inventory parts, is there a way in IFS to control whether a user ou usergroup can access or not access a specific inventory location or inventory location group, besides all of the above?So for example, can we user by user, or user group by user group control which inventory locations or inventory location groups they can or cannot have access to?Thanks in advance for your inputs,Carlos Mendes

Error Message when processing a RMA

We are experiencing this on 2 RMAs currently, 721 and 1048. (please check the image for the error) - The commonality between the 2 RMAs is that they were processed as a Return to a different Site than the originating RMA (Original Order was placed in ST003; return being sent to ST001).- The originating RMA 720 and 1047 were set up and linked to the customer order the parts were sold under. I just tried to receive in the parts under 721 with a different lot number and was received in Successfully. We will now have to manually adjust the inventory to reflect the correct lot number which is not ideal, but the RMA can be credited.What’s the reason behind this error?
