Supply Chain

When working with Inventory Part statusses there are basicly 2 options:Use a minimum number of statusses based on the possible combinations of settings. For example:Encode the different departments in the status so you know who at any moment is responsible (when creating new parts or updating them)Any comments on how this is done are welcome :-)

 Body: Hi IFS Community,I work in the Steel Industry (Coil Service Center / Decoiling) using IFS Applications 10. We have a specific scenario regarding purchasing and receiving raw material (Steel Coils) and I am wondering if there is a standard solution for this or if it requires customization.The Scenario: Purchasing: We create a Purchase Order for a total weight (e.g., 100 Tons of 5x1000mm Steel Coil) as a single line item. Supplier Notification: Before delivery, the supplier sends us a detailed packing list via Excel. This file contains specific details for each individual coil that makes up the 100 tons: Coil No / ID Heat No / Cast No Lot/Batch No Specific Weight (e.g., Coil 1: 20 tons, Coil 2: 18 tons...) Valid From / Expiry Dates (critical for storage costs) The Problem: Currently, our Purchasing team has this Excel file, but the Warehouse team does not see this detail in IFS. When the truck arrives, the Warehouse team has to physically climb onto the

Subject: Is it possible to create a Purchase Requisition/Order directly from the "Inventory Parts with Shortage" screen?Hi Community,We are currently using IFS Applications 10 EE.Our planning team frequently uses the "Inventory Parts with Shortage" and "Resolve Shortages for Inventory Part" screens to monitor critical stock levels.However, when we identify a shortage, we want to be able to take immediate action to supply the material directly from these screens. Specifically, we are looking for an option in the Right Mouse Button (RMB) menu to "Create Purchase Requisition" or "Create Purchase Order" for the selected part.As seen in the attached screenshots, the standard RMB options currently allow us to "Resolve Shortages" (allocate existing stock), but there is no direct option to generate new supply (Purchasing) for the shortage quantity.My questions are: Is there a standard parameter or setting to enable a "Create Purchase Requisition" option in these specific windows? If this is

Using IFS9. Lot batch was received on a customer-owned Purchase Order line that was missing the activity/project connection.  This lot batch is reflected in Inventory Part In Stock without the project connection.  We need to make an activity/project connection on the customer order, and we cannot make the reservation because the customer order line has the project association but the lot batch does not. When trying to move the inventory tag to the project, the system tries to amend the customer owner to 1, rather than the actual customer who owns the part.  Here’s what we have tried so far to resolve this:  Reopen PO line and connect activity.  Activity connection is greyed out… unable to action. Transfer lot batch to project inventory from Inventory Part In Stock.  This action tries to amend the owning customer to 1 rather than the actual customer owning the stock. Reserve lot batch without activity connection on customer order.  This allowed the reservation, but won’t allow the relea

Is there a way to add an automatic document text to the customer order for a specific site?   

“When multiple valid agreements exist for the same customer, site and currency, the system will per default retrieve the agreement with the lowest ID to the customer order, and display this in the customer order header.” Is there any logic to selecting the lowest ID?

Hello,Would it be possible to define for Inventory Parts its real location on shelves in warehouse;is there any field to introduce the information where the Part is located in warehouse; e.g. Storage Racks No + shelf No;Regards,Kruthika

Dear allIn IFS Cloud 24R2, for purchase requisition lines, select one supplier, there are 20 items (maybe 50-100 lines) to be released to convert purchase order, but among of them about 2-5 items will not to be released, use “not equal to” and “;”, but it does not work, the filter out items are still there.In IFS10, it worked. Can we have any other simple solution for end user? please help to check. ThanksSusan  

I am wondering if there are any “recommended” RDS and P&A systems people use that work well with IFS? I am sure there are many out there but wondering if there are preferred ones for IFS. 

I need define the run time of machine and workers in diferentes situations and don´t forger these time  affect to load and capacity: Situation 1:AUTOMATIC MACHINES CNC machining centers with multiple pallets where two or more operations of different durations are combined during a shift. It only requires the operator to change the part, but the machine does not stop.EXAMPLE 1: The machining takes 60 minutes, and the operator changes the part while the machine is machining another part. Situation 2:SEMI-AUTOMATIC MACHINES CNC machining centers with multiple pallets where two or more operations of different durations are combined during a shift. Requires the operator to change the piece.EXAMPLE 2: Machining takes 50 minutes and the operator takes 5 to change the piece with the machine stopped. Situation 3:MANUAL MACHINES centers such as LATHES, MILLS, SAWS, OR MANUAL DRILLS where operators perform operations one by one or consecutively. Requires the operator at the machine 100% of the ti

Hi,I hope that you are well.Does anyone have a presentation on “IFS Cloud - Export Control Functionality” or a document detailing functional improvements/changes from APP10 to Cloud, please? Thank youKind regards,Samiru

In Inventory financial control, after receiving the order the purchase order status changes to closed state and we have to select our site to perform periodic weighted average then it directs to the inventory part and then we have to select the unit cost . On the header there must be a tab ‘Remove Periodic WA Difference’ but in this it is missing.Can you provide solution for this.

How can the validity period be defined for a supplier associated with a purchase item?

Can someone explain inventory conversion factor and price conversion factor to me? For example, we have a part we order in a pack of 4, but use in production and sell in service parts by each.  What should the conversion factors be? what should supplier for purchase part price be? what should the standard cost be?  

Hello!I´m trying to setup internal trade and have succesfully done the entire process but then I realised that I would like to have automatic receiving of goods at the buying company. The internal trade in thsi case means that the buying company picks up the goods at the sellers warehouse so when the selling company does the delivery in IFS Cloud I would like to have the goods automatically received on the buying companys side. I´ve setupo the DIRDEL message but what triggers it? Thanks for your advice, I feel a bit lost :) RegardsEmma

Activities that affect tool availability come from many parts of the solution.  Currently, when a person is looking to see the overall demand and supply for tools, they need to build a complicated CRIM. Demand Signals:- Tool Demand from Manufacturing, Component Repair Shops, Complex Assembly Repair Shops, and Airframe Repair Shops. Tool demand can change as tasks are updated and/or rescheduled.- Tool Calibrations (tool is unavailable for the duration of the tool calibration, which can include shipping)- Tool Sales- Tool Rentals (outbound)- Tool Exchanges (if the user is sending out the tool before they get the replacement)- Tool Shipments (shipping tools to another location, either temporarily to support specific maintenance, or long-term as a transfer of capability)- Damaged, Missing, or Lost tools (no ETA is likely available)- Quarantined Tools (no ETA is likely available)Supply Signals:- Tool Purchases- Tool Rentals (inbound)- Tool Exchanges (if the user is getting the tool before t

Hello,I’m experiencing an issue with reservations in the Customer Order module. A few months ago we introduced new processes in the WADACO module, and since then I’ve noticed some irregular behavior related to reservations.Our workflow is as follows: we create a customer order, and once the pick list is generated, a shipment is automatically created and linked to it. The problem is that the reserved quantities sometimes change unexpectedly.For example, we sell 100 units of a product, but in the reservation view we can see a higher reserved quantity — it suddenly increases to a larger value, e.g., 120 units, without any clear reason.Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows what might be causing this?Thanks

Hi,It isn’t possible to connect a project activity from the order object if the item has moved beyond the Planned status, regardless of whether it is a Customer Order Line, Purchase Order Line, or Shop Order. The item must be in Planned status to enable the connection.However, several customers have raised concerns about this limitation, expressing the need to have the “Connect to Activity” functionality available even after the Customer Order (CO) is released to connect projects, as this is a common scenario in real-world business operations. Thanks,Vihan Weerapura

When you create GTIN-14 for packages, you can create them using the package indicator and the GTIN of the packaged part.How can we generate a GTIN-14 based on an existing GTIN-13?For example: we have products that we sell in boxes of 30 pieces (inventory UoM). How can we ensure that a single piece has a GTIN-13, and the box has a GTIN-14? And how can that conversion factor be linked between the two? Is there any specific data setup for this?

What is logic behind pick by choice ? Give me an real - world example.
