Supply Chain

We need to change the way our warehouse personnel pick parts from the warehouse. I believe the way we setup our warehouse locations when we first launched IFS may be the problem. This is one of our warehouse locations: 4012A. We assigned 40 to the row, 12 to the Tier and A to the Bay. So the row is correct. But the Bay or column should really be 12 and the Tier or level should really be A. This mis-assignment is causing our picking sequence to be inefficient. I believe the IFS default route order is Bay first then Row.So in our current situation a picker is routed to pick all parts in Bay A, row 40 first before picking any parts in Bay B, row 40. So essentially the picker is having to loop back to the beginning of Row 40 every time that person has to start picking from a different Bay.How do we change the Route Order so that we can pick by Tier first, then row since we are just reversing the default route order due our assignment problem? I was looking at the IFS docum

Hello,today, in order to finish receipts regarding Quality Control we need to go to details per each line and choose the register inspection result option.would it be possible to register inspection results at the Receipts page by e.g using 3 dots with additional option?or by picking the appropriate lines to accept inspection/change status passed to yes for all of them at once?can we change it in the system? or maybe you can propose any other solution?Regards,Kruthika

How can we distinguish and automise semi-finished products in the logistics flow — between those that need to continue to the next work center as part of a finished product, and those that are sold as end-products and should be moved to the finished goods warehouse?The part numbers are the same in both cases.However, the structure of the shop order numbers differs — in the case of sales, the shop order number matches the customer order number.Currently, both types are reported to the same location after the last operation.

Hello,We are currently facing two issues — one that was reported to me, and another that I noticed myself.Issue 1:Some items show a stock quantity of 0, even though new purchase orders should have been generated when the stock dropped below the minimum quantity (which is set to 1 in the inventory part).Is it the MRP job that is supposed to create these purchase orders?When I check the scheduled task jobs using the Mrp_Process_API.Schedule_Mrp_Process__ function, I don’t see the item listed.Issue 2:Still within the scheduled task jobs using the Mrp_Process_API.Schedule_Mrp_Process__ function, we regularly encounter warnings formatted like this:Erreur d'instantané de demande/appro. MRP. Site/Article/Classe ABC xxxx/xxxx/C. Source/Cde SO/xxxx, xxxx, xxx, xxx. Erreur d'origine ORA-20112: MrpPartSupplyDemand.FND_RECORD_EXIST: The Offre demande p

Does anyone have documentation in regards to the IFS Freight Interface for Cloud 21 R1/R2?  Does it still exist?  Is it still ODBC connections or can we use the Web Apps using REST Api calls?

Hi all, Do we know why the formula is different for both types of parts (Sales Part and Supplier for Purchase Part) for calculating the Price Quantity? I understand that the following formulas are below: Sales Part formula: Price Quantity = Sales Quantity x Price Conv Factor SFPP formula: Purchase Quantity = Price Quantity x Price Conv Factor So for the sales part, to get the price quantity we multiply, but for the SFPP if we want to calculate the price quantity we have to do the Purchased Quantity divided by the Price Conversion Factor.  Our customer would like to understand the reasonings behind this, any help would be much appreciated :)

Hello,We are new IFS users, just started a month ago. Our sales is struggling how to have realistic lead time on sales quotations. How other users have solved this? We work in multisite environment - we have two manufacturing sites, which both store semifnished and finished parts (sales parts), and one warehousing site that just store sales parts. In addition we have sales offices. We have both make-to-order and make-to stock parts.They can use capability check in some cases but there are limitations.According to IFS documentation: ”To run capability check from Customer Order or Sales Quotation, the supply code must be Shop Order, DOP Order, Invent Order, Int Purch Trans or Int Purch Dir.If the supply code is Int Purch Trans

When attempting to delete a supplier with an existing object connection to an approval routing, the associated approval line remains in the system. Consequently, users cannot delete the workflow through the Approvals window. Steps to Recreate the Issue:01. Navigate to Object Connections and add an approval routing for 'SupplierInfoGeneral' Logical Unit. Go to the Supplier window, create a new supplier, and add a new approval setup. [Note: A new approval line will be created automatically.]02. Delete the newly created supplier.03. Navigate to the Approvals Window and approval line is still available. Can anyone please assist in finding the reason for this?

Hello Folks ! Just wanted to share something I fixed recently with Incoming Customer Order in IFS Cloud 25R1.  We have been using the SalesMessageService API to create Incoming Customer orders for some time now.  We recently updated to 25R1 and noticed that the incoming customer order API broke. OverviewIf you’ve recently upgraded or considering upgrading to IFS Cloud 25R1 and use the SalesMessageService API for creating Incoming Customer Orders, this update may affect you. A field change in the order‐lines payload is causing deserialization errors. The Error You’ll See{  "error": {    "code": "ODP_DESERIALIZATION_ERROR",    "message": "Error while de-serializing contents.",    "details": [      {        "message": "Tree should be empty but still has content left: WantedDeliveryDa

Two stage RFQ and Quotation available in IFS cloud? The two-stage RFQ process involves the submission by the suppliers of a technical quote and a commercial quote. The technical quotes are opened and evaluated first to determine a list of qualified suppliers, and only then are the commercial quotes of the qualified suppliers opened and evaluated.

We are currently using IFS Applications 10 (UDP 10), and we would like clarification on how to properly handle "Other Charges" such as Customs Duty that are invoiced by a different supplier than the one supplying the goods on the Purchase Order.Scenario:Goods are ordered from Supplier A via a standard Purchase Order.Customs Duty is incurred as an "Other Charge" on the PO.The duty is invoiced separately by Supplier B (e.g. a customs broker or freight forwarder).We want the customs cost to be included in inventory valuation and cost of goods, but the actual invoice is from a different supplier than on the PO.Questions:What is the recommended way in IFS Applications 10 to:Add such "Other Charges" to a PO?Ensure correct accounting and costing (including inventory value)?Book the customs invoice from Supplier B correctly?Is there a standard process or best practice for this scenario (e.g. use of manual supplier

Does anything currently exist that allows two orders to be linked or associated. Currently we have multiple orders that are associated based on Customer, or work requirement and it would be advantageous to have something that allows us to see the orders together.

Is it possible to set a ‘Message Setup’ by customer address instead of having it either by customer or by the company connected to the customer?Would like to do E-Invoicing based on the Document Address on the Customer Order. Sometimes the address is going to a country that doesn’t require E-Invoicing even for the same site.Is this possible now? I can’t seem to find a way in standard. Or is there a future enhancement for this scenario?

Hi All, How I can get assembly cost in IFS specially if  I want to get the assembly cost for a particular deliverable. I tried to check in cost/hour tab in deliverable but it is taking the cost from supplier for purchase part not from the PO for that particular deliverable.

I am trying to create a Demand & Supply chain table (in terms of SO/PO). A is my top level demand (final product) and requires various other supplies to manufacture this, I am wanting to see all the supplies (multi level) that goes into that demand. Example below, A requires, B,C,D but B/C/D requires other supplies to have them manufacture, think of main assembly (A) and sub-assemblies (B,C,D) until it reaches to RAW MATERIAL level.Does any thing such already exists in IFS Cloud if not, any ideas how can I tie it together through data base? Demand Order Supply Order A B A C

Hi,I try to setup an internal trade between company A & B where company A (site 1) is the buyer and company B (site 1) is the seller.  I can create purchase from A and send it to B but in Incoming customer orders there is something missing. I´ve seen in the community that this is a common error message and I´ve tried everything that was suggested but it is not picking up the customer. In the picture below I added customer manually but still gets an error message.   Is there some sort of check list on setting up internal trade as there are quite a lot to tweek to make it work :) Thanks! /Emma

We have Shipment Types on our Customer Orders set to NR for “at order release”. However, when releasing the CO, it is not creating a shipment ID. It also does not allow for a manual one to be made. Any reasons why this is happening?
