I am in the process of introducing kanban-circuits for a certain product line of ours. The Product Structures contain some parts with serial tracking “At Receipt and Issue”.If we want to satisfy the serial tracking, we need to scan the parts somewhere in the process.If that happens in the assembly line, we can use kanban-circuits but we lose time in manufacturing, because scanning of some of the parts is not trivial.If the scanning happens in the warehouse, we can not use kanban and we create work in the warehouse, which we wanted to relieve by introducing kanban in the first place.Does anyone have experience with kanban/serial tracked parts and ran into a similar problem?How did you solve it?

Hello, We hold an inventory part on 2 sites within the same company. The part is held in a different UoM on each site due to operational requirements.The part is a purchased part on Site A. We sometimes have a requirement to move some of it from Site A to Site B.I have set up an Input UoM Group and assigned the part to it.On Site B the part number will be different to the different U0M. What is the best way in IFS Cloud to execute the stock movement from Site A to Site B so that Site B receives the correct part number and UoM into inventory?  e.g. transport task? shipment order?We are on Cloud 25R1. Thank you!

Hi IFS Team,My Customer has an Intersite Flow (Supply Site sending product to Demand Site).The Supply Site sells the product to the Demand Site at cost + 15%.  We are planning on using a Sales Price List for the “Cost”; and a Sales Overhead for the 15%. It appears to work well.The Problem is: How can we ensure the “Supplier for Purchase Part” at the Demand Site is also in sync with the Sales Price from the Supply Site?  I was thinking to use the MHS Messaging PRICAT to send pricing from Supply Site to Demand Site, but I wonder if there is an easier way to do this.Thank you,

Hi,I am looking for advice on a situation I am facing.My customer works mainly in welding and coating. Their project sites are often far away from the main warehouse site. Because of this, I want to keep welding and coating stock at the customer’s project location.My idea is to create remote locations and move stock from the warehouse to these remote locations using shipment orders.When the remote location is in the same country as the site, this works fine.However, I am having a problem when the remote location is in another country.In that case, customs clearance is required, and I need a proforma invoice. I am not sure how to create a proforma invoice when the shipment order is created directly from Inventory.The PO–CO process does not work here because the project location belongs to the same company. Also, I cannot create a new site every time there is a new project.How would you handle this situation?Do I need to create the customs documents manually in this case?

Hi Community,We are planning to implement and execute the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) setup for a specific site in our company using IFS Applications 10.As an Industrial Engineer, I am well-versed in the theoretical concepts, but this will be my first time executing the practical application within IFS. I need your experience to ensure the process runs smoothly and generates accurate purchase/production proposals.Could you please share your suggestions on the following topics? Data Preparation: Apart from Safety Stock, Lead Times, and Planning Methods (A, B, etc.), what are the "must-check" essential parameters on the "Inventory Part > Planning" tab? Calendars: What is the impact of Distribution and Manufacturing calendars on MRP? What kind of issues can an incorrect calendar setup cause? Structure Levels: Is it necessary to run a specific background job to calculate structure levels (Low Level Codes) before running the MRP? Common Pitfalls: What are the points that a

Hi everyone,If there are inventory parts that currently have an on-hand quantity in stock, what are the available options to remove or clear those quantities from the system?Could you please share the recommended approaches or best practices (for example, adjustments, transactions, or any standard processes) to handle this scenario?Thanks in advance for your support and insights. 

Hi,I would like some advice on best practices that your company follows.My customer’s main business is rentals. The company owns equipment and rents it to customers. The equipments are often shipped to other companies in different countries for customer projects.I am facing a situation where equipment is rented to another company in a different country. This is an intercompany rental.We can create a customer order with a rental line from the supply site and ship it to the demand site. However, I am not sure how customs clearance is handled in this case.When clearing customs, the receiver may need to show customs documents. The customer order provides a proforma invoice with only the rental value, not the full equipment value.In rental cases, does the receiver use the rental proforma invoice as the import value? Or do we need to create a separate manual proforma invoice showing the full equipment value?How is this usually handled in the rental industry?I would appreciate your thoughts a

Is it possible to select multiple internal customer orders and send order confirmations via MHS at the same time?

Hi Team,I processed a customer order using a 'Purchase Direct Supply' code. However, during the RMA process, the stock was received at my site instead of being returned directly to the supplier.Since these are non-inventory purchases, how can I return the stock to the supplier from my location? 

Within Warehouse Tasks and Task Priorities, Help suggests twice that Warehouse Task Priority can come from the Task Source (assume the Customer Order) before the Default Priority from the Task Type is fetched.  “The priority of the warehouse task can be received from the different sources of warehouse tasks at the time of creation, dependent on such the varying importance of different customer order lines. It can also be set from the default priority value entered for every different type of task in the warehouse task type setup. Priority is an important component of all the business logic created around the information of the warehouse task, including needs for sorting rows according to priority order.” And; “Priority - The priority is a numerical value valid from 1 to 99999 where value 1 means the highest priority. The attribute is mandatory; a valid priority number must be entered for each task type. It should, however, be possible to enter the same priority value for all task types

 Can anyone advise why PrePosting on Material Req has this ‘double pop up’ thing going on in 24R1, please?  I create a new Mat req, save the header.  PrePosting pane pops up.  I enter an Account Code and then the ‘Edit’ panel pops up.  In 23R1 the Preposting Panel just popped up and we entered Account, Cost Centre and Brand details there?  V clunky workflow now … unless I’m missing something?   Thanks.

We currently use the Purchase Order Delivery Reminders and Purchase Order Confirmation Reminders functions to print reminders. It’s possible to run test prints to check the current templates, and bulk printing works as expected. From what I understand, email handling can also be managed from these views if the functionality is properly configured.At the moment, the process seems semi-automatic, as some manual steps are still required to send emails. Has anyone successfully configured this to make the process more automated?Modifying existing templates is not a major issue, but before making changes, we’d like to hear how others have approached this globally.Do you have any tips or best practices for streamlining this process? Are there recommended settings or configurations to minimize manual work?

Hi. Is there any known way to “move” a Company Owned Rental Asset that is in stock on a Site within one Company to a Site on a different Company in IFS ?Our customer has discounted a simple Move Inventory Part, a Transport Task, and a Shipment Order which all are not allowed for ownership of a rental asset. (“Transaction Code COMPM-OUT not allowed for Company Rental Assets” is the error on the transport task). We understand the theory around controlling as asset moving across companies, but is there any way this can be done out-with renting the asset to the other company using Internal Purchase Orders and Customer Orders ?Thanks.  

Is there any standard functionality in the Rental Management Module to generate a schedule (Eg: 28-day schedule) using the actual delivery date?What needs to happen is:When the customer order rental line is delivered, a 28-day rental schedule should generate as follows::Actual Delivery Date (DD/MM/YYYY): 08/09/2025The Schedule:Trigger Date | Period End Date | Planned Invoice Date08/09/2025  | 06/10/2025        | 08/09/202507/10/2025  | 03/11/2025        | 07/10/2025

Hello,I’m looking for guidance on an issue I’m encountering with PMRP and the use of standard inventory.I have a project configured to use standard inventory and to automatically generate MTRs. The parts involved are within their lead times, and I’ve confirmed that MTR creation should be possible. However, when I run PMRP by Activity for the entire project (leaving Activity Sequence blank), only one activity receives an MTR. The other three activities generate purchase requisitions instead—even though I know sufficient excess exists in standard inventory.If I run PMRP on each activity individually, or if I use a Planned Netting Group, all activities generate the expected MTRs. This leads me to believe that when PMRP is executed for the full project, only the final activity processed is considered for standard inventory availability.Has anyone experienced this behavior or know what configuration or process I might be overlooking?Thank you.Andrew

We have an issue where a part has been set up on different sites, but the Inventory UoM is different on each site.  This is causing a problem when trying to return stock that was sent out from a Bonded site but is to be returned to a Duty Paid Site.  Below is the detail of the part that is set up incorrectly across the different sites.The correct UoM is CS6 which should have been used, not CS3 Overview screen showing the sites and differences in set up.  We have an RMA that has been created where the stock was dispatched from PEBAU but is being returned to PEPAU.  We cannot complete this RMA as when we enter the Qty to return on the originating RMA, the volume to return on the receipt RMA is different and cannot be manually amended. See below:If we amend the Qty on the originating RMA, this updates the receipt RMA, but the values are not aligned due to the inventory UoM being different.    

I’m currently unable to complete the POD matching process for the customer. When the order was generated, one line was deleted and replaced due to an incorrect process. As a result, the customer will not accept the POD match, and the invoice cannot be generated.I attempted a manual match for the line item 4 as shown on the screen, but the OK button remains disabled.Appreciate if anyone got an idea how to help push this through. Thanks

I have a line on a CO that has a supply code of ‘Project’Normally we would create a purchase requisition on the project to drive demand for the part to be purchased, however due to annual leave and permission sets we are unable to. Am I able to create a manual purchase requisition and peg it into the project at a later date? If not, is there a way to drive demand while we wait for the project manager to return from annual leave?
