Supply Chain

HI Folks, We have just launched our first plant in IFS Cloud (24R2) and are learning that using the IFS system as designed results in very slow throughput time for us to reserve, gather, scan, confirm , etc.  all the steps to put parts onto a truck and out the door.  Has anyone out there felt the same and found a faster approach? 

This diagram only illustrates the workflow steps and does not explain the logic and also in the video there are various price management techniques defined but not really the difference in the output is reflected so can you give a real world example showing the major difference.

This error occurred while releasing the blocked customer order through ‘Blocked Info’How to resolve this?

Is Group/Sum option in Advanced Search functionality available in IFS Cloud version? There are several topics posted covering this topic. As the below entries were few years old, I was hoping something might have changed in between. Can I know that, will this Group/Sum option included in upcoming cloud version. If it is already available, is there any material on how this is done?Missing Group/Sum option in IFS Cloud #GSDTECH# | IFS CommunityAdvanced search (i.e. group, count, sum, etc) | IFS Community

Hi, About this functionality:https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/24r1/lang/en/default.htm?openpage=https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/24r1/lang/en/Manufacturing/ActivityUpdateStructRevAndAlt.htm When doing so, at least by default it doesn’t leave any trace in the shop order history. Can this be changed from settings, so that it would show what has been added/removed, or at least leave a record that this action has been run? Thanks alreadyVille

HI,    I have entered a value in the MRP Spare Part Forecast to create demand for the part. However, when I try to enter a Customer Order with a quantity higher than the forecast quantity, the system does not allow me to save the line. What is the functionality of this validation, and is there a way to bypass it without modification?  Regards Yukthila

Hi All,We are looking at the Strategic Procurement Module - has anyone got a set up guide, detailed presentations, videos or any information on how they set it up or how they are using is it?We want to see if we can use it to score our suppliers on a ‘word’ based questionnaire/survey (similar to 1-5). Survey to be emailed to our internal team on Projects and results recording in Supplier file KPI.If anyone else is using it for this, happy to share information on how we have integrated the Sub Contractor capacity - T/O versus outstanding SC Order Valuations to pay :). Thanks Trudy

I have added some criticalities to the screen Equipment Basic Data - Object Criticality and thought that they will be available from the list of values on the Prepare Work Order screen. The list of values is not available and the criticality cannot be selected from the Criticality screen when I zoom in from the Prep[[are Work Order screen.Please, could you advise if there are other settings in IFS that need to be completed to make criticalities available for the end users. 

Hi all,I ran MRP and for part Q-ALML-MDL the system created a Shop Order demand / MRP Make (Planning).How can I convert this demand into an actual Shop Order?Path I’m using:Supply Chain Planning → Material Requirements Planning → MRP Action Proposals WorkbenchI can see the relevant proposal, but I don’t know how to turn it into an SO. The RMB → “Action for Order…” option is visible but disabled. What’s the correct place/step to create the Shop Order from this proposal? Which prerequisites enable “Action for Order” (e.g., Supply Code=Make, routing, firming rules, permissions, time fences)?  Environment: IFS Apps 8Thanks!

Hi!I’m trying to understand the shipment process in IFS8. On the customer order, I added a package material called QW-CW-02-PKG. I reserved one of the components inside this package and then created a shipment. In the Shipment screen, I added the related customer order line to Connected Shipment Lines.What I can’t figure out is how to place the material into a specific package or pallet. In the Package Structure tab, I created a Handling Unit and a Package under it. How do I add the connected material into this package? 

Hi All,Could you please confirm when the PO is with the 'Pending Changes' tag, is it allowed to proceed with the Register Arrival and do the receipt?I created a PO which is in Confirmed status and then created a Change Order, and now it is in Released status. With that open Change Order, the system allows proceeding with the PO via Register Arrival and performing the receipt.I think if there is any open Change Order available for a particular PO, then the system shouldn't allow proceeding with that PO with those pending changes. Is this the correct behavior?Or is there any basic data setup that we can use to prevent proceeding with the PO which has open Change Orders?

Hi All, I have setup a non-inventory purchase part and created a PO for it.  I have included PO charges as well. When I receive the PO, I am unable to find the charge amount in INVETORY TRANSACTIONS HISTORY or Purchase Transaction History . Is this a system limitation or Posting control related Issue? ThanksKind regardsChanaka

Part Serial can be connected to a Rental Fixed AssetYou can make a Part Serial ‘Maintenance Aware’ and by doing so create a Serial ObjectThis Serial Object can be connected to a Fixed Asset Now our general approach is to make Maintenance Aware in the same company that owns the Fixed Asset. How can I correct it if a user has manually made a Part Serial Maintenance Aware in a wrong company? E.g.Fixed Asset owned in France Part Serial linked to this Fixed Asset  Part Serial Make Maintenance Aware > you can choose in which company

We are looking to implement a solid core to rebuild process in our company. These would be core units from the field that need to brought into inventory at zero dollars, shipped out to a supplier to be rebuilt, and then brought back in the system with the new cost of rebuilding the unit. We want the option of NOT serializing these parts, but we want to try and keep the process as standard as possible. Is there a standard way that IFS provides for this process that will work for serialized and non-serialized parts?
