What is the best way to mass import a new suppliers sales part list? Can the excel plugin be used to update/insert records to multiple tables from one spreadsheet? Inventory Parts, Purchase Parts, Supplier for purchase parts and Sales Parts all need setup/imported. I have used the Data migration tool to import files to a single table, just want to know if there is a better way using excel?Thank you,

where can i get more information about multi site transfer in intersites? ifs apps 10A complete installation guide might help me, thanks!

In the packing, during the process when reporting picking of picklist lines, users scan barcode labels to identify serials. If for any reason they should stop in the middle, do another task or taking a break, and then they want to continue they get a warning that time passed out and need to do the job from the very beginning.We have got information that this is due to Transaction Wait Timeout set to 180 sec, in Connection Pool for PL/SQL Access.We can’t change this setting because it’s a common setting for whole application and also because the timeout described in the scenario above can be several minutes and not possible to set a fixed timeout time. Do anyone have experience how to handle the above scenario? For instance to identify several hundred or thousands of serials without facing the issue with timeout.Is it possible to scan all serials to the scanning unit and send all scanned barcode in one operation to IFS?Or is it another way to handle the above?

Hello all, I was looking for some advice. We have a company going on the system where historically the customer part number was different from the inventory part number.I was considering making the sales part number the customer number. Or using the cross reference functionality.Does anyone have any experience with either and in this scenario would you recommend one path or the other? Thanks,Rich

Hello, I would like to do something like the conditional formatting in Excel: If(Sales Qty - Reserved Qty - Picked Qty - Delivered Qty > Available Qty ; text in red) Is it possible? Thanks for your support. 

All of our customers are E-Invoice setup based but some of them are EDI some are non EDI. We need to get a full list of non EDI customers.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to establish a cycle count program using count reports and I’m having an issue with the business logic being used to add lines to the count report. I’m finding a disconnect between the cycle interval on the inventory part, and the last date an inventory part has a COUNT-IN or COUNT-OUT transaction. It appears the ‘Last counted date’ which is being fetched by the Get_Last_Count_Date function,  is populated on the inventory part in stock, but is granular down to the part/config/location/lot/serial/ecn/wdr/handling unit combination. So if I count a part at a specific location, then move it, the last counted date will be lost.  My interpretation of the cycle interval logic is as follows. If the cycle interval on the inventory part record is 60, and the part is counted on October 1st, then the next time the part would be fetched and added to a count report would be December 1st. (our distribution calendar is 7 days a week @ 24 hours a day). My testing has completely

Hi - We are a food manufacturer selling on Amazon and having trouble assigning a warehouse based off the Amazon vendor code found in the PO. Would anyone have any solutions for this? 

Hello,I found we can change ‘Qty to Issue’ on warehouse task but can’t be saved. The reason why I want to change the quantity is because warehouse may issue excess materials to shop floor due to physical package limitation. So is it possible to change the quantity and then execute the task?Many thanks. 

We’re using IFS 9, version 14.Has anyone ever had experience when attempting to manage the difference between cost (such as Estimated Material Cost on the Inventory Part, or Latest Purchase Price on Supplier for Purchase Part) versus the price in the Feature Pricing (Configuration Base Pricing/Price List Pricing). We want to have visibility into when our cost is eating into margins, and the difference between the pricing on the Configuration and the cost of the part is what’s we’re interested in seeing. Since multiple parts (therefore multiple different costs) can contribute to one feature, or vice versa, I’m trying to determine if there’s a way to effectively manage variance between the cost and price, when price is not directly connected to the cost in the system.

Hello,I made a mistake when reporting the picking of a shipment and clicked report before I corrected my mistake. Now I don’t know how to release that part.Report picking: done Shipment status is still preliminary Serial number: 663. I have an issue with that part and I cannot ship it.  I found that it is possible to reassign shipment connected quantity. Unfortunately, it says that the reserved and picked quantity will not be released. How else can I do?Do you know how to proceed to cancel the picking/reservation of that part? Thanks in advance for the support. 

We are in Apps 10 UPD 10 trying to use Handling Units in outbound shipments. We are entering weights for (pallet) handling units. A few of the handling units are used both our European site and our US site, both of which are in the same Company. The European site needs to use kg (metric measurements) and the US site uses Lbs. How do we accomplish 2 different UoMs for Handling Unit weights for the 2 sites if they are both in the same company?   Thank you .

We are in Apps 10 UPD 10 working to implement SSCC, Shipment and Handling Unit labels.  After clicking Create SSCC when clicked on the shipment, I do not see an SSCC number for the entire shipment. I have the appropriate checkboxes checked in the Handling Unit rows and do see an SSCC has been generated for each of the 4 pallets   When I am clicked on the Shipment line in the Handling Unit Structure,  and click  ‘Print Shipment Handling Unit Labels’, No of Handling Units = 0 when in fact there are 4 pallet Handling Units in the ShipmentThe report  only contains information for the last of the 4 pallets, not all 4, which I would expect for a Shipment Handling Unit. Am I misunderstanding and what am I missing to make this work? Thanks 

Hi,  Problem: When printing the Shipment Pro Forma Invoice, the Number/Date format sometimes changes to the correct Number/Date format of the receiving country and sometimes it does not.What factors makes this Number/Date format change for the Pro Forma Invoice and Is there a way to automatically change the Number/Date Format option? The language for this Shipment Invoice is by default en, but the number and date formats can change. There does not seem to be an option in the report rule to control the Number/Date Format.Test 1: Printing Shipments from FI10, Receiver still in Finland gets the fi-FI when printing.  Test 2: Printing Invoice Shipment from DK10, Receiver is also in Receiver ID in from Sweden, but the default Number/Date Format is in en-US.Thanks Manjari 

HiI have a request in a customer that has Customer Order Lines with Supply Code “Pur Order Direct”.The sales part is a purchase part with product structure and the components are supplied to supplier.When i create the customer order with purchase order connected should be possible as in Register Arrival:1 - Supply Material to Supplier, or2 - Backflush the Components when Register Direct DeliveryThese options are not avaiable. Can anyone confirm if this is a limitation because of supply code “Pur Order Dir” or is a bug ?VS

Hi everyone, I would like to add work_order_status to the ‘Work order cost/revenue analysis’ screen and I need confirmation regarding whether I need to add a logical unit and custom field to effect this? I have managed to add the item to the View, but IFS cannot ‘see it’, so I can’t select it form the Column Chooser. Cheers,Neil. 

Is it possible to receive a RMA without actually creating inventory?Like the Purchase Order Arrival function before move to stock.

Is it possible to register a RMA for components of delivered products?Often not the complete machine is returned, but only the component(s) that need investigation.

Dear community,Situation: in the main warehouse we are working with HUs - plastic bins that contain smaller parts. These bins remain in that warehouse. Parts are picked out of the bin into a shipment area. Mostly this works fine, except when a bin contains the exact amount of parts on a pick line: in this case IFS assumes that the entire HU is picked and moves the bin onto the shipment location:2 CO line reservations, 1 for a complete stock record and 1 where only a part of the stock record is needed: 2. the pick list, notice that IFS picked up an ‘outernmost HU’ for the stock record that is picked entirely:3.The picked lines in the shipment inventory:In reality the HU 166 stayed in the main warehouse just like the other bin (136) is there any way to avoid IFS core logic from doing this? And if not, is there any way to unattach the stock record from this HU 166 in this stage? So far the only way I found is to attach the line to a shipment and then unattach on the shipment (and then rem

Trying to understand some things about part characteristics as they relate to master parts and inventory parts. Considering characteristics for parts, but want to make sure of the most appropriate creation and flow, assuming the idea is to create a master part and inventory parts (may be many inventory parts, due to different locations) from the master part. Also the more relevant scenario where many master and inventory parts already exist.Part Master Data>Master Part>Part has a Characteristics tab that seems unrelated to Inventory Part Characteristics, seems to just happen to be named Characteristics Am able to populate the Technical Class and Attributes (App Base Setup/Characteristics/Basic Data) by creating them, then template and assigning template, but I don’t think this is necessarily relevant to what we’re after...this seems likely independent of inventory part characteristics, and doesn’t seem to flow to inventory part characteristics once created. We are able to create

Hi,It was observed in IFS that there is no specific methodology used in standard to define the different numbering sequence for any Purchase Transactions (like PR, RFQ, PO etc.).Is there any way of defining any specific numbering sequence for all the relevant purchase transactions, as per desired format.? As it was also observed that someway it can be handled via Coordinator Groups as well, to some extent, as long as Purchase and Distribution Orders are considered. For which the character string is also limited for 1, which is not desired though.By any chance we can address this issue in standard IFS (with Aurena Client).?Any valuable feedback or remarks on this would be really appreciated. Regards,Prabuddha
