Hello,My customer has this error message when he tries to issue a reserved material line : “ The quantity reserved for part XXX on site XXX at location XXX should not be negative.” Thanks for your help. 

Dear community,  we have IFS Cloud and what we want to do, before GO-LIVE date, is to print the labels for all the materials to mark them with IFS codes accordingly.  This we can do only once the goods are admitted into the warehouse (within the test environment). Is there any way to print the labels for the materials without having to stock it in? Can I add the location to the inventory part and print it anyway? Thank you for your response,Best RegardsPetaKu

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionCurrent self-service procurement functionality using punchout catalogues only supports No Part Line creation in the shopping cart resulting in PR with no part lines. There are instances (mainly seen in the Mining Industry) where the products selected from the punchout catalogues are in IFS as inventory purchased parts with supplier part numbers defined in the Supplier for Purchase Part records. Once the PR is converted to PO and the goods are receipted, they need to be put away into inventory. In these cases, the PO receipts are not considered as just expense but as inventory value. Supplier Agreements too can exist with these suppliers, and they are also not considered in the current functionality. Therefore, when the shopping cart from the supplier’s webshop to IFS, if part lines can be added to the IFS shopping cart based on the supplier part numbers, instead of no part lines, this will benefit many

In our Apps 10 environment we use MS Level 1 to enter the Master Schedule Forecast.   We have the site manufacturing calendar set up for a 5-day work week starting on a Monday and ending on a Friday.  We are able to enter a forecast date of a Saturday but not a Sunday.  Why are we able to enter a forecast date of a Saturday when Saturday is not a workday?  We also have an exception ID for our holiday days.  We are also able to enter to enter a forecast date on a holiday day, why?   The example below has allowed a forecast date of 7/1/2023, which is a Saturday.  It also allowed a forecast date of 9/1/2023, which is on the holiday exception as a non-workday.   

While reviewing inventory transactions for a consignment part, I came across the following transaction:COINVREV+  “Inventory Value Increase - Consignment”Could anyone please explain the functional flow that leads to the creation of this transaction?

Hello,When i try to save the Customer order, am facing the below error.Please help me with this.Regards,Kruthika

We have an order with a single order line with a quantity of 1.  This item is a large metal frame building and will take at least 3 50 FT flatbed trailers to ship.  What is the best way to do multiple shipments against this single line?  I’ve looked into handling units (50 FT trailer) and adding 3 of those to the shipment but I’m not crazy about splitting the line in to .333 of each to add an equal amount to each handling unit.  Wondering if there is a better way to handle this scenario. 

Hi All,I am getting this error when I am trying to reserve material for the maintenance material requisition.Is there any setting to control this. All material is available and I can reseve manually line by line but not using the reserve option.  Any idea why this the system is behaving like this?Thanks,Chamath

Hi,When creating a Sales Quotation and adding Quotation Addresses, the behavior initially works as expected:The address from Quotation Addresses is automatically propagated to all quotation lines. At the same time, Delivery Information (including Freight Map / Freight Zone and freight price list–related details) is updated correctly on both: the quotation header and the quotation lines. If I later change the address and ZIP code in Quotation Addresses:The address fields (street, ZIP, city, etc.) are updated correctly on: the quotation header all quotation lines The Delivery Information on the header is also updated correctly, including the new Freight Zone based on the ZIP code.  BUT On the quotation lines, only the address fields are updated.   The Delivery Information on the lines (Freight Map / Freight Zone) remains unchanged and still reflects the old ZIP / old freight zone. 1081   This causes challenges for us, as our charge calculation is based on ZIP‑code–based freight zones

I am reporting a significant logic gap in how IFS Cloud handles date calculations for pegged Shop Orders. Currently, when a Shop Order finishes early, the Planned Ship Date on the Customer Order line pulls forward based on production availability, but the Planned Delivery Date remains static.The Logic Flaw: IFS currently treats the Planned Ship Date as the "earliest possible" date rather than the "required" date based on Planned Delivery. This creates a logical paradox in the system.Example Scenario: Customer Requirement: Planned Delivery is Day 25 with a 2-day transit (DLT). The Planned Ship Date should be Day 23. Early Build: The Shop Order is rescheduled to finish on Day 1. IFS Result (Due Date): Moves to Day 2. This is correct; it reflects that the item is physically in stock early. IFS Result (Ship Date): Pulls all the way forward to Day 3 (Day 2 + Picking Lead Time). The Disconnect: Planned Delivery stays at Day 25. This creates an illogical 22-day gap for a 2-day transit

Hi, I have multiple line items to add in Quotation or Purchase Order or Package Part. Is there any .csv file import options to make it easier. Or any other easy and convenient way?  Currently I am adding each lines separately which is quite time consuming.   Please advise. Thank you. 

Hi,Is there a clever way to run a job “Create Consolidated Pick List for Customer Order” for all customers (~1000) except few (~5-6) without using different parameters?BR, Lukasz

Hello,I would like to ask somebody for answers regarding using of INVENTORY TURNOVER RATE and CREATE REPORT FOR SLOW MOVING INVENTORY PARTS.I’ve tried to make some cases in IFS CLOUD, but I’m not sure that I got correct results. I’m not sure, how this turnover is calculated. Does anybody know which types of goods’ movements are counted? If anybody has a description, how to use it, write some details or step by step instructions here, please. Thank you very much in advance.Best regardsJIRI 

Issue:  Customer order exists with a customer order line containing Customer Owned material.  We need to charge the customer for a repair cost on this material, but due to the part being listed as “Customer Owned”, we are unable to do so. Is this a situation that any of you have faced, and if so, what types of solutions might there be for this type of scenario?

Hi, We would like to set up Punchout integration in IFS cloud 25R1 for one of the supplier.  We have got the Punchout URL and Secret but I am not sure about the other details.   Could someone help in understanding what values it should have and how to fetch them.  We would like to use the cXML,  what is  “Domain” , “Identity”, “Sender Domain”, “Sender Identity” ?   what is this “use Mac” ? should we enalble that or skip ?  I would like to have a more simple set up.  What would be the client ID and domain name given here under basic data for punchout ?  Is the client here same as the “Identity” from add supplier puchout set up ?    Is the client ID nothing but a user ID in IFS ?    I would really appreaciate if you could help. Thanks!      

Is there a way that I can setup an item to be sold in certain increments?For example 5 pcs, 10 pcs, 15 pcs, 20 pcs and so on.

In the Customer screen under “Sales → Sales” you can select a default order type for that customer.I want to change it now to a different order type. After changing it, it still fetches the old one when I open a new customer order.Is this a bug? Or is there a field that overrules the order type from the customer screen?  

When setting up certain customer as priority, this can be shown for logistics team while planning for delivery plan, how can this priority be reflected in production or shop orders in production so that manufacturing team deal with these orders as priority?

We are using the IFS demand planning model for quite sometime, currently using the Cloud client,We noticed that the system  takes the "Adjusted Demand" values to predict the "System Forecast" , want to know if I could use only the "Demand"(actual demand)  to calculate the "System forecast"? 

HI All,We moved to Cloud 25.1.7 last month.In Register Arrivals screen, when receiving multiple lines from a Subcontract Purchase Order that is connected to a Shop Order, if you receive one line at a time, everything works as we’d normally expect - if it’s the last operation on the shop order, screen is displayed to approve/close the shop order, otherwise returns to Register Arrivals screen (and shop order operation closes in the background).However, if you attempt to receive multiple lines at once, the receipt processes normally, but it triggers the Shop Order approve/close screen - even if there are additional operations that follow. Selecting OK here closes/reports all additional operations, receives and closes the Shop Order.In bullet form:Identified trigger:Register Arrivals screen Receive PO with multiple lines Regardless of last operation, Shop Order Approve/Close window appears Closes, Receives, reports operations for all lines of the receipt (one after another) Material is i

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)They previously used Campaigns (adjusted solution, internal case).However, the issue is that campaign quantities scale dynamically when the statistical forecast changes.This violates the requirement that promotional volumes must remain fixed, not proportional.2. EventsThey also considere

I would like to add some columns to VALID_SUPPLIER_LOV, On Purchase Order header when a new PO is created, a Supplier LOV allows to select a supplier. I want to add columns to this LOV? is this possible in IFS Cloud. Thanks

Does anyone know if distribution orders work for project demand from one site to another? We’ve been trying to set it up, but have not gotten any DOs created when there is inter site demand/supply within a project. Wondering if it’s setup that is missing or if it’s not part of functionality. Appreciate any guidance.
