Supply Chain

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.

Cloud 24R1 - The need is Supplier Request document attachments to be brought over to the Supplier record when created from the Supplier Request.I tried creating an OCT as per the screen shot. The Supplier_ID key does exist in the SupplierRequest, but I think it's not working as it's a populated field instead of a Key field. When I run the test, it states it has “passed” however the Source Key populates with REQUEST_ID, not SUPPLIER_ID.Any solution here? Or not a feasible solution? 

Morning, Anybody know if it is possible to block transport task/Inventory movement, accord to company/site? We don’t want our users to a site that is not part of the same company.IFS version: 24.2.4 Thanks, Gianni Neves

Hi.Does anyone have an explanation of what effect the ‘Refresh Rate’ button/setting has on the Smart Manufacturing Planning Board? I’m using 24R2.Thank you.Adrian.

Upon saving a Customer Order Header, I’ve noticed that the ‘Add New’ or ‘+’ no longer automatically appears on the Lines tab.Users must select the page refresh which then loads the icon.Is this a designed functionality change from 24R1 to 24R2 or a bug?  If the former, what is the reasoning behind the change?I can see this same behavior from Core to SU5. 

Hi.We are facing issue with very slow printing. On Report Format & Output dialog when You click Print or Preview it taking few minutes to genrate printout.We are runing Apps 10, UPD 16.It seams to stuck on PrintReport.ReportFormatRequest Any ideas how to solve issue? Best regards

When we run batch invoicing of service contracts, orders are created with SC order type and the flow looks like the below. This tells us the order will go all the way through and stop at customer invoice.  However, when we do the billing manually from one service contract, the order is created but it does not follow the order flow.  We just upgraded to Cloud and this is a new issue for us. 

Hi,Can someone please clarify the difference between the "IFS Aurena Notify" app and the "IFS Notify 10" app? Both apps are currently showing all purchase requisitions and purchase orders, instead of displaying only those pending approval by the currently logged-in user.Is this the expected behavior?Is there a configuration required to filter and display only the items relevant to the approver?Also, is there any official documentation or comparison guide available that explains the functional differences between these two apps?Thanks in advance for your help!

How can I reverse “Supplier Material for Purchase Order Line” when it is Confirmed and shipped ?  

Hello,I try to create a count report for a warehouse in IFS Apps. 10 and have got the Warning message belowNo data found for entered search criteria. Count Report not created.There are inventory parts in the warehouse so the Count Report is expected to be created.   Kind Regards,Svitlana  

Blanket PO is where we get approval for first PO line and we add subsequent PO lines within the approved amount. However, once we enable “Project Unique Procurement” check box at project level; it is not possible to add subsequent lines to the PO due to below error.   Is there a workaround for this or any other way of creating a bulk PO from purchase order window itself.

We are getting a lot of Handling Units in the application that are empty. Has anyone been able to clean these up somehow? It seems not be possible to delete these:   

Hi,As anybody else had the need to identify purchase parts coming back from the supplier after rework during the receipt of parts and how were you able to put it in place in IFS ?For example, I have a purchase order for 8 parts.First, I receive 5 parts. Out of those 5, 3 are broken and need to go back to the supplier for rework.Later on, I receive 3 parts from the suppliers. How do I identify if they are the 3 initial good ones I had not received yet or they are the parts that were sent back for rework ?Those parts are not lot batch tracked or serialised.Your help would be appreciated,Kind Regards,Anne-Sophie

Is there a process that can be run/scheduled to remove “orphan” Shipment records when Shipment Lines are reassigned to another shipment and the Shipment header no longer has any shipment lines. Sort of a “cleanup” process.
