Hi,For a master scheduled part with promise method set to Available to promise the system will show an information message (as shown on the screenshot below) if there is not enough quantity available to promise according to MS.When the customer order is received as an incoming customer order there is no such information when the customer order is created. Would expect also infomation messages to show up on the incoming customer order so those could be monitored.Any suggestions on how to get these?We are running IFS Applications 10  Regards,Anna

Hello, I would like to automatically reserve all available shipment lines/shipments for shipment orders. I have done this for Customer Orders where I automatically reserve lines via a database task (I have it scheduled to run every 2 minutes), but there doesn’t seem to be any database task that can achieve the reservation for shipments. The reservation button for shipments is a projection action called StartShipmentMainSingle for the ShipmentHandling projection. Since you can’t schedule projection actions as database tasks, how can I achieve this? Any and all advise/input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Bryan

Is there any possibility to re-use the PR with Order Code 5 (Express Order) when the PO is cancelled?Test Steps:Create a PR with Order Code 5 and Release the PR. It will automatically create the PO. Now cancel the PO. Go back to PR it is not reopening and unable to use again, similar to the Normal Order Code.Appreciate any thoughts on this scenario.Thank you.

We want to do some changes on Customer Order Confirmations being sent via INET_TRANS.Currently the XML field <CUSTOMER_PO_LINE_NO> does not contain the actual Customer PO Line No that is in IFS > Customer Order > Order Lines row, (highlighted below) but a sequential one that IFS creates starting at ‘1’.  This seems to be wrong, surely it should be sending the data that is in IFS.Can IFS fix this?  What is the reasoning for naming the XML field to correlate to an IFS field and then not use the IFS data? 

Hello,I am facing issue in the change order for PO yy07530, we need to cancel line 1 of this order, but am getting the attached error.  How can we resolve this. Regards,Kruthika

Hello everyone,Here is a use case for which I need your help.The customer "Point P" places a customer order on behalf of a third party "MIKIT".In this order, "Point P" applies its own pricing and discounts (e.g.: 50% on a sales group).The need is, when creating the Customer Order in IFS, although the customer on the header is "Point P",  to apply a price list (including prices and discounts) defined for "MIKIT" to the order.If no specific price list is configured for "MIKIT", then we should keep the prices provided by "Point P".Does someone know how this could be modeled in IFS?I tried adding "MIKIT" as the end customer on the customer record for "Point P", but without success...

HelloWhat is the impact of these two parameters (Use planned dependent demand) & (Use dependent demand in forecast consumption) on MS? I tried to create sales quotation but no data displayed in planned demand anf planned dependent demand column on MS! Could you help me with this? thanks 

One of my teams has raised a transport task to move stock from a shop floor location into the quarantined stores. He has selected multiple items and given a collection of parts to the quality team, and when these have been checked, the quality team have noticed that one line was not in the box. Ideally they want to be able to select 9/10 lines and execute these, leaving the final line on the transport task- is this possible?

 Hello,I often get the same question from our customers:"We want to be able to redeliver or invoice on the original order". Example: I create a sales order, I invoice and I have to issuea credit note because I made a price or qty error. I issue a credit note but I want to start again from the initial sales order.We agree that in iFS you can't reopen a sales order that's already been invoiced.     thank you for your help

Hello all. When creating a BO (Business opportunity) for a customer in IFS Cloud with different physical articles (with variable size and weight) is there a way to calculate freight? We have a freight price list attached to each customer (depending on Ship via code) How could I add correct freight charge on BO to set correct expectations for customer in regards to shipping costs before they place an actual order to us?  Thank you! 

Good morning, I was wondering, whether there is any proposal on how to prioritize the processing order for the DOP orders.The customer order has it’s own priority which does not transfer to further levels, however sometimes, we want the planner to really focus on something with later delivery date but more difficult structure. Or just because it is a VIP customer and we want to check as soon as possible, what best delivery date would be possible given the component and capacity availability. Is there any field that I can use from the design department to pass the information to the planning dep. with the possibility to filter based on that? Either on DOP orders or DOP headers? Thank you,Best Regards PetaKu  

Hello, in the MS configuration, two options are available about including supply/forecast in S&OP aggregation. Does anyone has an idea about the imapct of these please? thanks 

Hey everyone,I’m looking for some advice on how to manage returns in IFS Cloud without going through the full shipment/picking/delivery flow. In IFS Apps8, returning goods—particularly to correct an over-receipt—was super simple and automatically increased the “Qty to Receive.” But in IFS Cloud, we’re seeing extra steps that don’t match our real-world process.Here’s what we do:Sometimes we accidentally receipt more units than what actually arrived (e.g., 10 instead of 9). We want to quickly fix that and have the “Qty to Receive” go back up by 1 (in this example) so we can receipt it properly when the actual missing unit arrives later. In IFS Apps8, this was just a few clicks: select the return, enter a reason, and done. The system automatically adjusted the receipt quantity and increased the “Qty to Receive.” In IFS Cloud, we’ve noticed it pushes us into a full shipment process (Shipment Lines, picking, delivering, closing), which we don’t do physically and is a lot of extra work just

We're using IFS9 at the moment and are going to transfer to Cloud next year. What's the right way to use outside operations in a shoporder?And, is it meant to use the ‘Operation No’ functions under ‘materials’ to connect different Material-Lines to different operations?Or are outside-operations meant for single/mono-parts only?

When using the ‘Move Part’ functionality can you enforce the ‘Part Availability Control’ to move with the Part? You can select the slider but I want to enforce it for all movements.It happens automatically when moving a Handling unit but not for individual parts. Asking for Apps10 + Cloud

Why is Warehouse Description not included as an available standard field in entities like InventoryPartInStock? Seems like a weird omission.

Go to Any Shipment ID and go to Available Lines sub window.Available Lines tab is taking some time to load and after a while it is getting timeout notification as attached below. Has anybody noticed any workaround for this? 

Hi all,I am currently exploring best practices for utilizing the Internal_Part_Issue_Pub table within the context of Demand Planning. I’ve noticed that the table includes multiple transaction types, and I understand that the appropriate configuration often depends on specific business practices.That said, is there any recommended or commonly used Source_Ref_Type or Transaction Code for standard Demand Planner base flow configurations?Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated. There is the where condition used in this view. SELECT tran.part_no                                                                                                part_no,       tran.contract                                                                                               contract,       tran.date_time_created                                                                                      date_issued,       Decode(tran.direction,'+',tran.quantity * -1,'-',tran.quantity, 0)            

Hi All,When a customer order line is connected to a staged billing profile and once a stage has been invoiced, it is not possible to cancel the CO line even after creating a credit invoice. When trying to cancel the order line, the system raises an error that 'The order line may not be cancelled when invoiced stages exist'.I have created the following Idea for the above issue.Please share if anyone knows a workaround.

Hello,I saw a post Aurena Custom Command - Multiple Records that it is possible to select multiple records and execute Navigation Link.Is this possible or will this be possible for ExecuteQuickreport?I want to select some Purchase orders and then run a quickreport based on the selected records.We are currently on 23.1.7  Kind regards

Dear Connections,In IFS’ standard cloud application, the Incoming Dispatch Advice is not particularly helpful when working with inbound sea freight operations. We have a requirement from one of our customers, where the customer procures material from overseas suppliers. As transit times via ocean vessels are quite uncertain these days, the final arrival date at the warehouse often changes. In this scenario, our customer wants to track the inbound shipment status.Additionally, a single vessel may contain multiple orders from multiple suppliers. However, in IFS, we do not find an option to perform receipt for multiple orders from different suppliers within a single shipment or dispatch advice. This is because the standard Incoming Dispatch Advice functionality only supports multiple orders from a single supplier.Is this something on the Road Map for the future IFS cloud releases?I appreciate your comments and suggestions on this. 

We’re having an issue where the Shop Order and DOP-order time schedule won't align and I’m suspecting that the DOP-order is connect to the calendar defined in the project, rather than the Work Centers defined on each operation in the DOP-order. Could someone please confirm this and if it’s possible to manually connect a DOP-order to a different calendar than the one chosen in the project?

Hi Experts,I have an issue when I run the capability check for project connected customer orders. I think this was supported until 21R1 but found below community post that indicate this is no longer available from 22R1 onwards.But not sure whether there were any other information on this but when I run to perform capability check on non project connected customer order it works fine and then when I connect that customer order line for a project activity, dates suggested by the capability check is getting moved back to the original date alone with below message. But I cannot run the capability check again as it shows as “No commands available” The message is misleading and anyone has any thoughts or comments on this.Why did IFS removed this capability from the project connected customer orders? Anyone know how to overcome this please?Thanks,Chamath

We recently discovered that a user received a PO line and then changed the PO line amount afterward. I was surprised to see that IFS allowed this, as I expected the system to lock the line once a receipt was processed. As a result, we now have a mismatch: the vendor tab reflects the updated amount (6,980), but the GL still shows the original amount (9,040), which makes sense since the financial postings were created at the time of receipt. My questions are:  Is IFS supposed to allow changes to PO line amounts after a receipt has been made? If so, how can we prevent or restrict this in our system to avoid financial discrepancies?  We’re using IFS Apps 10. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
