Supply Chain

I’m trying to determine how the CO Plannable Qty is calculated.  I understand how the Plannable Qty is calculated; however, when I use the same logic using the Expected Lead time, I don’t get the numbers the system is getting.For example, in the screen shot, why is the CO Plannable Qty 2510 and not 2494?

The scenario is, external customer places an order at the demand site, with the supply code “Inter Purch Direct”.  The purchase order is sent to the supply site, and the internal customer order is created. The supply code of the internal customer order is “Purch Order Direct”, which means the supply site also buys from an external supplier. When this order is processed, the standard way is that first the PO of the supply site is completed through “register direct delivery” and then internal customer order will be delivered. Next, is to deliver the external customer order, again using register direct delivery. However, the requirement is to automatically deliver the external customer order at the moment of registering the direct delivery of the supply site PO. To elaborate more on the requirement, in the following example, S100187410 is the external customer order at site FRGLN which is the demand site. GBWFD is the supply site and the PO P100170056 is the one which is created for the e

We are on the path to converting to IFS cloud and I have (hopefully) a quick question.On the inbound 850 customer order creation we get the following error:Some of our customers will send a value for this and some will not.  I’ve asked our EDI provider if they can not send the field if blank.  Is there a way in IFS to handle this?  I’d like it to just ignore a blank and not go through the validation.Thanks,Tim

One of our customers has a requirement to have two b2b shopping cart instances at the same time. One will be for the user default site and other will be for a different site.Usually we should have only one shopping cart instance at a time. This seems to be a very specific requirement.Any previous experience of this kind of implementation? 

One of our new clients implementing IFS Cloud requires authorization at the Purchase Requisition level and authorizers’ limits are defined for the total amount of PR and should not be for each PR line. I understand the IFS design for PR Rules is that to be applied at line level as PR lines may be for different suppliers as opposed to the PO. The reason why they cannot use PO authorizations instead is because one of their authorization criteria is pre-postings (cost centers) and IFS only has that in PR and not PO authorization rules.  I could see that this requirement has been discussed before in PR Authorization based on total amount of PR? | IFS Community article 3 years ago, where in the response from @HoiAnushB , it’s mentioned “the reported issue is qualified as the enhancement request for the future development.”.  I do not see this being catered to in developments so far and was wondering if this has been added as an enhancement request or if not, the reasons/decisions behind it.

Good Morning, How can the Planner Field on the Inventory Part - General Tab be made RO?  We have users that are entering other information but we do not want them to have the ability to update the Planner. Thank youDiane Greathouse

Hello community, I made setup of two Sales Parts per one Inevenotry Part:I did it because different Sales UoM.  My issue is, that I´m not able to add the second part to Customer Agreement. First issue is that Cloud not allows me to add the Part int Sales Part Base Price. And it is probably because of the same Inventory Part. I tried to creat new Sales Part via copy and let Cloud to creat new Inventory Part as well. It allows me to add this part into Sales Part Base Prices → into Customer Agreement. Can you somebody help? (IFS Cloud 24.2.9) Thank you very muchJiri 

Hi,There is a requirement from one of our customers: when they create a shipment order to ship items from a remote storage warehouse to the nearest destination of vessels in transit, they should be able to specify the delivery address directly on the shipment order. The receiver will remain the site, as it is not feasible to create remote warehouses for all these locations. This is because the locations are highly dynamic, and vessels are docked only for short periods during their voyage.Therefore, it would be very helpful to have a delivery address field on the shipment order, with the same address cascading to the shipments.I understand that this can be managed through configurations, but I would like to know if other customers have raised a similar request and whether this has already been considered in the IFS future roadmap.

Customer concern is related to : SCAN IT : WADACO_MOBILE_USER permission set.

Trying to set up a few new bin locationsAm adding The site, site description, location no, warehouse, bay and tier - putting a “-” in Row and Bin and I am getting the error that The Warehouse Bay Bin already exists - but it doesn’t Any one had this happen and if so how do I fix

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 documentation and it s

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 pièces MRP already exists.Could this be related to the first issue?Thanks in advance for your help.IFSAPP 10 UPD 5

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 :) 

In IFS Cloud when you create a count report how do select a range of locations?We are upgrading from Apps8 and in Apps8 you could select:From Warehouse:…From Bay:…To Warehouse:…To Bay:…In Cloud there is only a drop down box for Warehouse and Bay

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 or Int Purch Dir, then the sourcing option on the sales part at the supply site must be Shop Order, Inventory Order or DOP Order, and for sourcing option Shop Order the part must be of part type Manufactured.” Availability check is not possible on sales quotation.

Does anyone have step by step manual about Demand Planning. I’m confusing on how to select the most usable Forecast Models when try to work with IFS Cloud Demand Planning.Thank you so much!

It seems like Peppol Orders support attachment of binary includes, like PDF, etc. I cannot see any support for that when sending out Purchase Orders, etc. from IFS Cloud, or?Anyone, any comments on above? Are there any solution? Will it be added in future? Thanks,Fredrik

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?
