Supply Chain

Each month, when we create a new period version for each of our product families in Sales and Operations Planning the Old forecast and the New forecast column always match each other instead of the old forecast column pulling through data from the most recent period version… this doesn’t seem right and its a pretty useless column due to this, what could I be doing wrong? How do I correct this? It's worth noting that every new month we have to close the previous period version as it won’t let us create a new one if there is an existing one at ‘Approved’ Status…. this is also frustrating as we would like to be able to compare them. I have also seen that you can RMB in the header and copy from an old version BUT as soon as you copy in a new forecast/supply it overwrites this data - is this a bug?

We are needing to change the price that we invoice for on consignment items as our pricing fluctuates each month. The scenario is: We send 100 consignment parts to the customer on May 15th - These were against a customer order and price of $1.00 each. The customer consumes them on June 15th - The new price for their item in June is $1.10 When we invoice them, it is going against the original customer order at time of shipment ($1.00 each) We tried updating the customer order pricing before consuming out of consignment but it still pulls the pricing at time of shipment  Anyone else doing this and any ideas on how to handle?

Can someone explain to me why MRP is delaying the ordering of a part that has fallen below safety stock?The example below has a safety stock of 130 and NO inventory at time of running MRP (with the Plan Safety Stock checkbox enabled)The resulting purchase requisition has a wanted date in the future that gives a latest order date beyond the MRP run date - Why?I would have expected the requisition wanted to be ASAP i.e. Today plus order lead time 

Hello!We are currently working on IFS Cloud and we are struggling with our shop order picking priorities, we have a custom field “Pick Priority=PRIO” to give high importance on our pickings, but since there are a lot planners working on different production lines, there are cases where a big amount of shop orders for picking are released the same day with same PRIO and basically the priority field doesn’t work at all.We have different operations with different material “Required Date” (order to assemble) on our shop orders, so “Released Date” field as second option to prioritizing jobs on pick lists doesn’t support us because Shop Order Pick Lists shows same “Released Date” for all components.We have been asking for adding “Required date” as custom field in Shop Order Pick Lists from our shop orders to have a second option to choose and prioritizing better jobs at warehouse. Just wondering! How custo

Hi, When using the Availability Check for Customer Orders in IFS Cloud, is there a way to have it consider incoming supply for Purchase Requisitions? Thank you,Alex

Has anyone dealt with this error “The Inventory Transaction Cost already exists” ?We have seen this pop-up when trying to produce a part (production schedule receipt) in IFS Cloud.  The transaction fails to execute (produce the FG part).We’re on AST2 (testing) of IFS Cloud 24R1 and scheduled to go-live in about 5 weeks.We have made this exact same test in Apps8 (our current production environment) and do not have this error message. 

Hello All,In the purchase order (PO) process, we perform an approval workflow and then release the PO. However, when a change order is created later, if the price or quantity is reduced—or if both remain the same as in the original PO—then the change order should not require re-approval. In such cases, we should be able to release the change order directly and update the purchase order accordingly.Could you please guide me on what system setup is required to enable this process, and from which screen these configurations can be made? Your help is much appreciated.Thank you.

Hi Currently working in IFS Cloud 24R2Currently the Refill All Putaway Zones report doesn’t error when there is no stock and no transport task is created. I know there has been talk in the communcity and funcationality has changed to allow for shipment orders.However, if we would like to use transport tasks,  (for the simplicity, different users of create and execute and also the drop off location funcationality), is there any further update / or plan to include an error for this background job?  Or  has anyone managed this another way? We need the ability to manage the execution of the transport tasks via the mobile app Scan It Many thanksMaria   

When we have a lot shop order pick lists to do picking and delivery of material to shop floor, we were used to prioritize shop order picking to warehouse using column “Operation Start Date” from “Shop Order Pick Lists” page in Apps 10, since we reserve and create shop order picking list by operations to deliver material to shop floor in same order that our processes need to be assembled. For instance.Operation 100 Shop Order Start Date 2025-05-02Operation 110 Shop Order Start Date 2025-05-15Operation 120 Shop Order Start Date 2025-05-30But since we moved it to IFS Cloud, that column is missing. 

Hi Community, The find and replace dialog has no replace just find when cntrl-h or rmb->edit>find and replace is clicked. However, the replace appears for another user with the same IFS permissions.This occurs in the customer invoice analysis and other IFS screens.

Hello, I am wondering if there is a module in IFS, or a query that can be run to show the Projected (from IPAP) values at a given time? Essentially, we are trying to group by Site the projected onhand quantities of part numbers at a given time (at the end of the month as an example). I can view this info from IPAP, but it’s only by part.ideally, I would like to be able to see this for numerous parts at the same time. I’ve looked through the help, but I’m not seeing anything on this. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Expert’sOur company wants to stop stock movements earlier and earlier because of monthly closures.Our stock operators don't want to wait until the 1st of the following month to make their receipts and various stock movements.For example, we are financially closing our stocks on 15 June 2025, with the intention of not opening them until 1 July 2025.Can stock receipts on 20 June be made on 1 July without waiting for the actual 1 July?Thank you in advance.Charles

Hi everyone, Is there a way in IFS Apps10 to view the reservation history of a part, specifically at the lot/batch level?We’re trying to determine whether a given lot/batch of a part was ever reserved to a shop order, and if so, when. In the Shop Order History, we can see that a line item was reserved, but we’d like to go a step further and identify which batch(es) were reserved or unreserved, and on what date.Any guidance on where this information is stored or how to query it would be greatly appreciated.  

Hi all,I'm trying to understand the functionality behind the ‘Normal and Collective’ setting for customer order invoicing.We’re currently exploring the use of staged billing for customer order lines but have run into challanges with customers set up for collective invoicing. One option we're considering is switching the invoice type to ‘Normal and Collective’, but I’m struggling to find clear documentation on what this setting actually does, and how it impacts the invoicing process. Can anyone provide some insights?Thanks in advance!

What is best practice if possible to move the association of a Purchase Order from one Work Order to another?  Scenario: Maintenance Purchase Requisition created from Work Order # 23. Maintenance Purchase Requisition converted to a Purchase Order. Purchase Order Released to Vendor. Realization is made that the Maintenance Purchase Requisition/Purchase Order was created from the wrong Work Order and needs to be moved to Work Order # 32. What would be the best way to go about that? 

Does an over tolerance exist for shipping customer orders where, for example, the order is for 10k but production made 10,100?  We want to ship the full 10,100 as the customer will take it, but are looking for an automated way to define the over shipment tolerance.Thank you for your input!Robin

We are implementing Boomi as integration software with IFS.This is for IFS App 10 Update 27We are trying to Move Inventory Part with the integration, but are stuck in how to proceed.The integration can successfully run with Action InventoryPartInStockSet->NewPartLocArray for parts that arrive in a location the first time.When we try to Move Inventory Part the second time we receive this error:InventoryPartInStock.FND_RECORD_EXIST: The Inventory Part In Stock already exists. By manually performing the action in Aurena client we have created this URL that we successfully can POST in Postman/int/ifsapplications/projection/v1/MoveInventoryPart.svc/InventoryPartInStockSet(Contract='700',PartNo='123456',ConfigurationId='%2A',LocationNo='003A',LotBatchNo='%2A',SerialNo='%2A',EngChgLevel='1',WaivDevRejNo='%2A',ActivitySeq=0,HandlingUnitId=0)/NewPartLocArray(Contract='700',PartNo='123456',ConfigurationId='%2A'

Current Maintenix functionality does not easily allow a way to separate/track subcomponents of a kit. We are looking for a solve to breaking apart kits in Maintenix.Thanks in advance.

Hi, Is there a way to get the customer order reservation scheduled data base task to only reserve to pack size? we currently have stock that is used on both internal and external orders that create a problem during reservation runs.If parts are not relocated when they are split for internal orders we have to zero pick customer orders and then re reserve to the inner pack size which is very manual and time consuming.I have the warehouses split out in IFS and also run picks by storage zones but if a pack size is split in either it will throw the customer picks out. I’ve tried looking under automatic reservations in the site tab and also at the criteria in the database tasks but have had no luck, the closest I have got is an attribute string but I’m not sure on how I would write that and then where it would need to go.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.CheersJim
