Supply Chain

When a shop order is in status Parked, any material lines which are reserved to the SO is not visible in IFS menu “inventory part in stock reservations”. Moreover, the reserved qty´s (although not yet on a pick list) cannot be moved to a different location unless you unreserve the SO material line.  In contrast, shop orders which are not Parked show reserved lines in “inventory part in stock reservations” and allow for re-location until pick list creation.  We are currently using IFS Cloud 25R2 SU6. The issue with Parked SO´s appeared either when we moved from APP10 to Cloud, or after the last release update.  Can we make Parked SO´s have their reserved lines behave the same as other SO´s?  Screenshots attached for better illustration. 

The combination of Inventory Part Cost Level by Cost per Lot batch with serial tracking "not in stock" is not permitted and is displayed with an error message in the dialogue. Saving is not possible.We do not understand the reason for this restriction and would like to ask whether this was also required in other projects and how it was handled.Thx and best regards

HiWe are looking for any guidance on a method of handling 200ish inbound and outbound articulated lorry deliveries per day across 40 loading bays fed by 80 shipment lanes.  The current solution we are replacing is a custom development done on Microsoft Dynamics that we want to have a solution for with IFS Cloud.  Current thinking is either IFS Dev Studio or a new front end through PHP as we have inhouse skills in that area.Has anybody built anything in this area?  We would like to go for best practice so reaching out to see if anyone has extended in this area.Thanks Jay

Hello IFS Communitywe have had this issue over the years again and again, but never found out what the root cause is. I am hoping that somebody might’ve seen this before.Basically we have a 1 Principal structure, meaning that all orders to external customers are getting entered in the main site (111 in this case) and parts will be sourced internally in the intercompany sites (owned). The goods then are getting shipped from the internal site to the customer directly.Sometimes when this is done, the purchase order line from the principal to the internal site and customer order line to the external customer are not getting updated to “Delivered” when the shipping transaction is done. Anybody got any ideas on why this is getting stuck?  

Hi,    my project’s scope is manufacturing -> Sales -> After Service (EAM)   so, for Customer Order line, we will check “Create SM Object” to make IFS create “Serial Object” automactially when the order get deliveried.    while, we found that after “Delivery”, we cannot undo the delivery, IFS don’t allow to do this(because there is a Serial Object).   Is there any workaroud for this?      thanks

Hei, I have check all related posts about the calculation formula for Auto Safety Stock, still I did not find an exact answer to my question. How is standard deviation per period is calculated in that logic and based on what data? Thanks V

I have a customer that purchases and stores multiple lots of the same part in the same location.  The standard cycle count functionality enforces that the counts be reported by lot in the bin.However, the customer wants to report just one number; the count of ALL the lots of the part number in the same bin location.  If the counted number is different than what the system assumes is in the location as a whole of all the lots in the location, the customer adjusts the count of the oldest lot in the bin.Is there a way to configure the count report and/or the count process to allow for the entry of 1 number; the total of all lots of the same part in the same bin?? Thanks!

Can somebody help me on below.In the below Sales Price List, Sales Price is updates as ‘0’ since the Calculated Sales Price is getting updated correctly. Cost sets are used to calculate the base price. Thank you! 

Hi I have @IFS Community a question regarding the problem with Date format en-US for language en on reports (Purchase order report - done by report designer), with some additional settings, it is possible to manually choose another Date format before printing. Unfortunately there is no simple way to change the settings so that this Date format is chosen automatically; it needs to be done manually. We need to set UK format instead of US format. Can you help? Is there any way to set it up so we do not need to do it manually every time before printing?Let me know please ​ ​@IFS Elite Solution Experts ​@IFS RD Product Management ​@IFS Newbie ​@IFS Lyn ​@IFS User ​@IFS Thank youRegardsNicole Valentine

CLOUD 24R1Scenario: Prerrequisites: Handling unit type with packaging material part associated and ‘Reusable’ option enabled.Go to the Inventory part in stock and select a part that has not handling unit connected. Select the option to Pack according to Handling unit Capacity and enter the quantity to pack for an specific Handling unit type.  The part is packed with an specific handling unit ID. The packaging material of the handling unit type is consumed automatically and issue from the stock If I go again to the Inventory part in stock and select the part that I have just packed and select ‘Unattach from handling unit’ for unpack, the system will not receive again the packaging part into stock to be able to be used again for another packing. The quantity on hand of the packaging material should not be increased?Thank you in advance.

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...

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
