Supply Chain

Hello.  Trying to measure supplier on time delivery performance.  I am not certain which dates to use.  I’m thinking “wanted delivery date” should stay constant as the date I want it and as updates are made from supplier I should revise “planned arrival date”. Correct?  Then I could bump Wanted date against receipt date and get the delta between the 2.  Is this correct?

In our environment we have orders coming from intersite company that would like to ship a different method than the supply chain matrix for that site - what is the best way to allow that to happen?

Over receipt of PO lines can be controlled at 2 levels of the Purchase Part ‘Over Tolerance% filed at the Purchase Group or ‘Over Delivery’ section highlighted below.    Either of those is enough  in the setup or are the both needed, say, when I need to control over receipt of PO lines? Does one of them override the other? I am asking because I tried with both the setups to receive several PO lines, the behavior is not consistent. Any confirmation from an IFS Supply Chain expert will be nice. 

Am facing issue in customer order line level discount. Its explained as below. When I convert sales quote to customer order discount is fetching in customer order line, but same discount is missing when I select the line and do RMB > Order Line Details > Order Line Discount.This is causing issue in Posting of Invoices. Anyone have encountered this issue in IFS 8.Please help me on this.

I created a customer order - intersite flow as below.  After releasing the order I performed 'Supply Chain Orders Analysis...' on CO Line.  Go to the Internal PO, RMB on line 'Order Line Details'  'Order Line Address...'.  Notice Single Occurrence check box is selected instead of Default Info. Can someone explain why and how should I keep default info in PO line too.

ISSUE/QUESTION: When we direct receive any Inventory through NREC (Receive Inventory Part),  there is a entry M1 Debit and M5 Credit, Which comes from the Cost bucket ID.Is there any way to segregate M5 entry, based on the cost bucket ID selected at the time of receive inventory entry. ENVIRONMENT: APPSAUDIENCE: ALLRESOLUTION/ANSWER: It is possible to use Posting Cost Group Id connected to the buckets and set up posting control for each Posting Cost Group ID BUT that will affect all transactions for the bucket, not NREC onlyThis is not usually not recommendedCAUSE: N/AADDITIONAL INFORMATION:SCRIPTS/LOGS:SOURCE: VERIFIED: YES

Hello, I have a customer in Service and Spare part business and they do so many invoicing (Service and Supply Chain) per month a for a given customer . And also they use IFS installment plans heavily as payments are made as installments.Is there a way in IFS, that we could have create an umbrella invoice to represent all the invoices for a given period for a given customer ? And also,it is really appreciated if someone could forward me any documentation related with current installment plan functionality in IFS

In our supply chain process, we would like to skip the requisitions. If we have a demand and we run MRP the MRP run should create a planned purchase order or planned shop order instead of a purchase/ shop order requisition. I have tried to change settings on the inventory part by changing the default supply type to order, but this has no result. Am I doing something wrong? And is it possible to skip the requisitions in the process?   

Is there anyone who have already implement the process as follows:We are manufacturing semi-finished part which is ordered by customer and invoiced from customer → Part stays in stock, ownership change in invoicing point customer owned. Semi-finished part will be used for final product with “0” price/customer owned.Question is, what is the best way to proceed the customer sales without shipping anything and change in that process the ownership from company owned to customer owned?

Hi Everyone,I’d like to hear from someone who has implemented IFS for operations i.e. mainly manufacturing, supply chain, project etc., and use a system like SAP, Oracle or any other system for finance. I know majority of you may say ‘don’t do it!’ due to some obvious reasons but quite keen to hear from someone who is actually a user of this/similar setup.Cheers

Is there a screen in Aurena (Supply Chain) for setting up and printing Shipping Labels?

In Supply Chain IE version the Customer Credit Control Group is selected in Sales > Customer > Customer > Credit Info > Order tab from the list of values created in the “Customer Order Credit Control Groups“. I am unable to find the corresponding scree in Aurena. I hope some one can help. 

Hi guys,   I’ve got a general question which I’m curious to read answers for. What pages, if any, do you find useful in IFS Apps 10 for scheduling (and more generally supply chain planning) that are commonly overlooked?   kind regards, Jay

Is there a way to make a customer schedule behave as Int Purch Dir order?

I have this internal order flow: PO - Company A CO - Company B PO - Company B CO - Company C SO - Company C When PO is created on Company A it is send to Company B where it generates a CO. That CO is born with Supply Code not desided. But is changed to Int Purch Dir and  To Demand Site changed to Company A The effect is that when the CO is created on Company C the system finds the Leadtime and ship via code for sending the order to Company A in the Supply Chain Matrix (instead of Company B).   That’s all good. But I need the Leadtime and ship via code to be updated on the PO in Company A for them to see how Is there any way that can be done?   I’m on IFS 9

I want to restrict a user from reprinting a customer invoice from original from archive using permission sets. Please assist.

The work time calendars in IFS are used for a range of different things such as SLA calculations, calculating lead times in manufacturing and supply chain, scheduling window calculations etc. Each calendar is setup with a schedule and a start and end date. Once a calendar has been setup, the details (basically generating a list of dates based on the schedule) needs to be generated via a background job and triggering the generation is a manual process. Once a calendar expires, you run into a whole raft of problems, having too long of a time horizon can also cause performance issues. I’ve created a configuration that aims to automatically extend the calendars before this happens. It will add two new fields on the calendar schedule line to allow you to define the calendar as auto-extending and allows you to define by how much to extend it each time.  Attached is a document to describe this in more detail. This was done for Apps 9 but I’m fairly sure it’d work for Apps 10 as well.
