PO Delivery address - Kanban

Hi Community,I’m exploring a bit with the Kanban functionality and are currently having two Kanban Circuits for the same part number triggering PO’s to external suppliers. If possible I would like to have different delivery address (different drop of gates) on the PO depending on which circuit/location that triggered the PO. The locations are in different warehouses and if it would help I can schedule two jobs one for each circuit, by that I can have two different coordinators.I would appreciate any input.Thank you!BR Marcus

Customer Order Stuck in Delivered Stat

Customer Order *42846 is in a Delivered state (see Screenshot1 attached). We want to get this Customer Order to either be Invoiced, or to be Cancelled. When we try to Create Invoice (see Screenshot2 attached), we get the error that "The total discount given cannot exceed the invoice line price" (see Screenshot3 attached).The Customer Order originates from a Work Order - so it is not possible to change the Price or Discount on the Customer Order line itself (see Screenshot4 attached).It is also not possible to edit the Price or Discount within the Work Order (see Screenshot5 attached). Image 1Image 2Image 3Image 4Image 5

Can't connect desired Sales Contract to CO

I am trying to connect a sales contract to my Customer Order as a reference, but the Sales Contract I want is not appearing as an option to connect. The CO is in planned and the Sales Contract is Active, the project connected to it is attached, and it is all under the same Company/Customer. What may be the reasoning for why it is not available?  Sales ContractTrying to attach correct Sales Contract but it doesn’t appear as option

Tax Code Defaulting in Purchase Order - Part & Non Part

I have used Page Designer ‘Default Value’ to set the Tax Code value in the Purchase Order (part & non part tab list).Whilst this appears to be working - how can I configure IFS to do the same.I have tried changing settings in the Supplier - tax at address/invoice and Company - Tax control/purchase - largely based on another community thread. But I am finding I am having limited success with this approach - it’s likely due to a lack of knowledge on my part & not taking all the correct steps necessary - how can I find out the correct approach to achieve this functionality, please....Is there an IFS Cloud configuration guide book I can purchase?TIA

Change management in the supplier schedule.

Hi All,  I have a question about the change management in the supplier schedule. I create a Material requisition for a part, e.g. Part 01. The requisition’s have 3 lines  - Part 01 - 10 pc - Due date: 2025.03.10.  - Part 01 - 10 pc - Due date: 2025.03.11.  - Part 01 - 10 pc - Due date: 2025.03.12.I runned MRP for this part, which create the supplier schedule appropriate so I can release and send these lines to the PO. However when I change the amount (e.g. from 10 to 20) of the first line of the material requisition and run a new MRP it create a new supplier schedule which is very similar to the previous one, just create one more line with the needed 10 pc on !!2025.03.12!! due date, and when I release it and send to the PO, the planned receipt date is 2025.03.12. which is late because I set due date in the material requisition on 2025.03.10 for this line. How should I set up the system to create these lines with the correct date? Thank you for your answers!Roland​​​​​​​

Stock held at Supplier and used to fulfil customer orders

We have a requirement to raise an order with a supplier and pay for the full order in full. The finished stock will be held with the supplier and we need to then instruct them where to deliver amounts of stock to our customers as the customer orders come into us. We need to see the quantity of stock held at the supplier and as it is consumed what is left.Some customer orders will incur a transportation cost and that cost would be picked up by us and not the customer.Does anyone currently carry out this process or a similar one that could explain best way to achieve this. Required scinario: My company places order for 1000KG of item A with Supplier1Supplier1 invoices my company for 1000KG of item A but stores Item A on their site.CustomerZ raises order for Item A with my Company.My Company sends delivery instructions to Supplier1Supplier1 delivers Item A to CustomerZ and informs my company delivery complete.Supplier1 invoices my company if a transportation cost is incurred.CustomerZ Inv

Unable to Find “Commodity Group 2” in PURCHASE_REQ_LINE_ALL View using Datasource Designer – Alternative Ways to Access It?

Hi all,I’m working with IFS Cloud and trying to retrieve the Commodity Group 2 field from the Purchase Requisition Lines page. However, I can’t find it in Data Source Designer within the PURCHASE_REQ_LINE_ALL view. From the Debug Console, I see the following details: • LU Name: PurchaseReqLine• Projection: PurchaseRequisitionLinesHandling• Entity Set: PurchaseReqLineSet• Entity: PurchaseReqLine• View: PURCHASE_REQ_LINE_ALL• Component: PURCH I’ve checked the columns in the PURCHASE_REQ_LINE_ALL view, but I don’t see Commodity Group 2 listed. Is it possible that this field is stored in another table or fetched dynamically through another projection? If it’s in a different table, would anyone know the correct join conditions or an alternative where query to access it?Or is this field perhaps derived from a different entity that I should be using? Any advice on where to find this field or how to retrieve the relevant commodity group or codes would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Customer order Sourcing /

Dear community,when customer order lines are entered, the customer looks to supply the items by analyzing availability at all the company's sites, but also at other companies in the group, in order to respect the customer's wanted delivery date in the 1st place (whatever the source), and the 2nd criterion is distance.Have you dealt with this type of case?We haven't succeeded in using the sourcing rules.Have you used this method or another, with what parameters?Combined with Source Order Lines manually/automatically? Any help or documentation on these subjects would be most welcome!ThanksRegards,Isabelle

Material issue restriction IFSAPP10 upd10

Hello community! first question here.IFSAPP10 upd 10Is there any way to restrict the “Issue” option in a material requisition?I modified the permission sets to disallow manual consumption but the image option still appears.It is allowed for the user to reserve the material but not the consumption as it depends on another part of the company. The user only has this set of permissions in addition to the basic ones.Material RequisitionPermission set Thanks in advance!Regards.

Manually Pre-Post CO

how IFS Cloud handles Customer Orders (CO) linked to External Projects? In Apps 10, the system allowed pre-posting without needing a Project Activity, but in IFS Cloud, it now enforces that an External Project must have a Project Activity before allowing pre-posting? Thank you.

One Site Mon - Thurs receiving, Mon - Fri shipping

We have one site that receives and manufactures on Monday - Thursday, but we ship Monday - Friday. We had to set the Manufacturing Calendar M - F so we could get Need Dates on Friday (all work center calendars M - Th). We tried setting the site distribution calendar M - Th and set a delivery route on all customers for M - F but that didn’t work. All of our suppliers/customers are shared among multiple sites and our other sites do receive on Friday. Not sure if this is something for supply chain matrix for site, but looks like you have to do all suppliers and supplier addresses individually with other mandatory fields like lead times we don’t care to set there. Any ideas would be super helpful.

Import purchase order and rows from external system

Hello,We have an external system for purchasing some consumables thats delivered by our supplier.This is user friendly and appreciated by our users.But of course because it’s external we do not have purchase orders in IFS as we would like to have for better spend analysis etc..and also to be able to match the invoice that arrives from the supplier.We are thinking about an integration that creates the purchase order based on what our supplier buys in the external tool.  What technology in IFS should you use to manage that?  In this case punch out is not an option for us.  Thanks for advance, any input is appreciated.// Johan

Sales Quotation for Assortment?

Hello,    Currently have a customer that creates a handful of OEM parts designated for key customers, and do not want those parts to be available to their other customers.             I’ve been able to create multiple assortments and when creating a CO, the system will only pull in the parts that are assigned to that customer.  However, if I create a sales quotation the system will allow me to pull in all parts vs just the ones assigned to that specific customer             I attempted to convert the sales quote into an order and the system will throw an error message that those parts are not assigned to to those customers, so that part works however customer does not want to mistakenly quote certain parts.             Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated Thank you,Joe

Why Tax Code is not editable in Purchase Order Lines after authorization ?

Our Finance Team (in Viet Nam) has a request to edit Tax Code in Purchase Order Lines and they need to perform this change without creating a Change Order.The main reason is due to government regulations changes from time to time, so they need flexibility to edit Tax Codes in Purchase Order Lines. We have done some internal investigations and noticed that “Planned Delivery Date” can be changed even after Purchase Order Lines have been authorized but Tax Codes cannot be changed without creating Change Orders.Does anyone know a valid reason for this? Thank you

Customer Order and Invoice with price of 0€ on the lines, how do I make them not appear?

Hi all, I have a service contract connected to a work order. That service contract has an invoice type “fixed price” that means that every material issued or time reported will not be invoiced on the customer invoice but because they are costs of the work order the lines exists in the tab “sales” on the work order. Our client doesn’t want the lines with 0€ price to appear on the customer order or customer invoice. There is an option to do this, as in the following picture:  But the client wasn’t 100% satisfied because they can have multiple lines and multiple work orders in a month to do this. I would like to know if anyone knows a better option that allows us to define that when we have a line that the cost will not be invoiced to the client this line will not appear on the customer order or customer invoice.  Thank you :)
