We are using IFS Applications 10 with Approval Templates for Purchase Orders. I would like to understand how an approval decision can be revoked once an approver has already taken a decision.In our approval setup, there are multiple approval steps. When one of the approvers rejects the Purchase Order, we correct the issue or query in the PO and attempt to resend the approval. Although the system allows us to add another approval step, the previously rejected step remains locked, and the same approver is not allowed to take a new decision. please clarify whether it is possible to fully restart the approval process after a rejection so that all approvers, including the one who rejected earlier, can approve again? If this is not possible, please confirm the standard and recommended approach in IFS Applications 10 for handling such scenarios.

Hello.My understanding isthat the Promised Delivery Date on a Customer Order Line should stay as is if the order/line is confirmed.I have created this order and confirmed.I then change the target date to 08/06/2026, I expected the Planned Delivery Date and the Planned Ship Date to align, however expected the Promised Delivery Date to be kept. Is my understanding wrong?

Hi,We have upgraded to 25R1 SU3 last week and we can no longer pre-post our customers orders to accounting projects (financial project). IFS has introduced a bug fix SCZ 27798 and it is now mandatory to enter a project id (WBS project) in the customer order details tab if to want to entre pre-posting on the customer header.Has anybody else experienced this problem or can help us out ?Thanks and Regards,Anne-Sophie

Hi,We are currently working in IFS Cloud 25R1.Currently, you are able to ‘refill all putaway zones’ at a remote warehouse via shipment order. Every time this action is performed, the site that is connected to the RWH will be used as sender. Now, we want to use shipment orders to perform the ‘refill all putaway zones’ of a RWH, but preferabaly with another RWH as sender.  Is there any possibilty to manage this without any configurations? Many thanks! Roy

Why would a company like IFS think that its not important to be able to go back in time and look at what a particular value was as of a prior date.  How can you manage a company without a days on hand inventory report.  Which you cannot get unless useless fields are filled out.  Simply idiotic and poor creation of an EDP system.  In addition, people make mistakes, they hit the wrong key, and yet for some transactions in IFS you cannot reverse what someone did, further complicating everyone’s life.  It actually takes a coding change to be able to “unlock” inventory from a Distribution Order that has gone awry.  No system is perfect, but this is worse than bad.  Our entire company is regretting going to IFS at this point.  My question is when will developers at IFS decide to make a system that actually does what a basic business needs.  Stop complicating the system, and install basic functions that are easy to use for 5th graders.

Hello,I am not sure which sub forum to put this question in, originally, I had asked it in Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM).Availability Check Calculation - Requisition and Planned Demand Included | IFS CommunityI have a question regarding the Availability Check function and what it does and does not include.I am currently working in version 9 and currently using the CO Plannable field in Inventory Part Availability Planning to confirm what is included in the check.From what I can determine, requisitions and MRP planned supply/demand do not factor. This is understandable as they are not firm-enough to be considered. Shop Orders in a planned state will count as plannable supply, but the components of the shop order do not count as plannable demand. Planned purchase orders count as supply.Is there a way in to have planned shop order components and/or MRP Planned supply/demand to also be calculated in the availability check? If not, what methods do you suggest in order to ha

Has anyone else run into this: IFS Cloud 22R2; Stock is in a Remote Warehouse Picking Location.  When you try to Report Picking using Shipment Inventory on a Shipment for this item, you cannot select the Shipping Location Type to move the Inventory.  They are not shown in the LOV.

Supplier log on Supply portal to confirm POeg: PO#001/Line1/Rel 1 -  PO qty =3000, with wanted delivery date 4/1/2022, from supplier side, they only can 1000 on 4/1/2022, 2000 on 4/15/2022, the expected result is,  when supplier change PO qty to 1000 and write down date as 4/1/2022 in PO#001/line1/rel 1, then another PO line with same PO#001/Line1/rel2  will be popped up with PO Qty=2000 (the rest of 3000 after 4/1/2022, price and other message is the same as original PO status), then supplier write down date as 4/15/2022. how to make this happen?please adviceThanks

How can I clean out old data from Detail Statistics - Invoiced Sales in Apps 9?  

Hi,When in the inter-site process a customer order is shipped, following two inventory transactions are created:SHIPTRAN: Ship Customer Order Internal TransitINTORDTR: Move to Internal Order Transit due to IssueWhen a shipment is cancelled, it is reversed using following two inventory transactions:UNINTORDTR: Reversal of Move to Internal Order Transit due to IssueUNSHIPTRAN: Undo Ship Customer Order Internal Transit When executing "Reversal of Move to Internal Order Transit due to Issue" (UNINTORDTR), the costs (INTORDTR) are not returned in the same amount.Instead, the costs are recalculated according to the FIFO principle.This can result in differences, which then remain as a balance on the transfer account. Example Part No SP065137  The quantity of 30’000 was delivered at a unit cost of 0.026073 = total cost 782.19The transaction was cancelled immediately afterwards, but with different unit costs of 0.020023 = total cost 600.69The difference of 181.50 remains as a balance amount in

Hi, all of you experts,I’m using IFS Cloud and I have a question related to multiple lines to be moved with transport task. When using move inventory with transport task from Inventory part in stock I would like to have a new transport task created for the picked lines.In my case the selected lines will be added to an already existing transport task which is not yet executed. Do I miss any setup?Best regards,Marita 

 Hi, I am currently handling an issue related to customer consignment stock, where the consumed quantities for certain parts do not match the invoice. This seems to be related to how IFS APP10 handles consignment stock consumption and invoicing when partial reservations exist across multiple lot/batch numbers. Specifically, when a customer performs consignment stock consumption at the header level. Consignment part: 80890121 Customer order created: 41883388 Reserved quantities in order: 50 → Lot 3107518---1 1150 → Lot 41826419-1-1-1 Consumption scenario: Quantities were consumed from the Customer Consignment Stock Consumption window at header level. Total consumption: 1150 The system actually consumed stock from lot 3107522---1. The reserved quantities in order 41883388 were not affected. My questions How does the system determine which lot/batch to consume in the Customer Consignment Stock Consumption window? If the system is using FIFO, how can I c

Hi All,What is the normal process if a configuration needs changing on a customer order line where a pegged purchase order exists?Is it to cancel the line, recreate, then add the new requisition to the existing Purchase Order?Cheers,Jamie

Hi,I need some advice about a problem I am dealing with.My customer mainly works with welding and coating. Their project sites are often far away from the main warehouse. Because of this, I want to keep welding and coating stock at the customer’s project sites.My idea is to create remote locations and move stock from the warehouse to these locations using shipment orders.When the remote location is in the same country, this works well because I do not need commercial invoices with values.The problem happens when the remote location is in another country. In that case, customs clearance is needed, and a commercial invoice with values is required.I am not sure how to create a proforma invoice with values when the shipment order is created directly from Inventory. I noticed that the shipment has custom value fields, but they are empty. Do I need to use event logic to fill in these values?The PO–CO process does not work here because the project location belongs to the same company. I also

Has anyone out there recently started having problems with communicated PO’s not showing PDF copies of PO’s on the B2B Supplier Portal? Everything for us was working fine for years until recently. Now, when our puchasing department communicates a PO, it may or may not send the PDF of the PO to the portal. It happens randomly and it hard to reproduce. If a user goes back into a failed PO and re-communicates the PO, it will work without anything having changed otherwise. It can happen at any time of the day, to any user, and to any supplier. We recently patched IFS and, coincidentally, this is about the timeframe when the problem started, though we can’t say for sure that is related.

Hello Community,During the shipment process in IFS Cloud,  a client sometimes pack goods that exceed the standard height defined for the Handling Unit Type. We can manually adjust the height of the handling unit in the shipment’s Handling Unit Structure, but the operative volume does not update automatically based on the new height.Is there a standard way in IFS Cloud to ensure that when I manually update the HU height (or when the packed goods exceed the defined height), the operative volume recalculates automatically?If not, is there an intended setup, configuration (e.g., additive volume), or recommended workaround (event action, customization, or integration approach) to achieve this?Or will this be updated in the coming releases? Do we have this on the pipeline for future releases?Thanks in advance!

We have an Apps10 Customer (U23) that is selling in a non-base currency without Price lists or Agreements so simply taking the GBP Sales Part price and using the current exchange rate, in this instance CAD = 0.5327 to generate the Price/Curr on a Customer Order Line. They are having issues with rounding, with the Price/Curr and the Total CO Line Price not showing consistent values. We have conducted considerable analysis of the issue in the database and there is a difference in the performance of our own Apps10 environment versus the Customer’s environment. Customer’s Environment example below; Sales Part GBP Price = £93.50. (Base Price on Customer Order Line)CAD Exchange Rate = 0.5327. Calculated Sales Price on CO Line = CAD175.52 showing on CO Line (Regional Settings Currency Format = 0.00).Sales Qty = 10Total/Currency = CAD1755.21 (this does not equal 10 x £175.52). The attribute string being passed into Customer_Order_Line_API.New shows values:SALE_UNIT_PRICE - 175.5209311056880045
