Hi,  Does IFS Cloud have a standard feature that blocks the quantities in a particular location that are expired, or about to expire, (probably through an Availability Control ID)?May be a job executed daily to check such quantities and block for demands ? Or at least a report.  Version : 25R2

Hi Team, we are having a lot of issues with deliveries arriving with no transaction being present in IFS.How do we manage the loan of equipment transactions in IFS so that we can provide a Reference no. to the customer sending equipment to us, then we can look up the reference to confirm the delivery is legitimate and we can receipt the goods against the reference?Currently we have a custom work around where we have one supplier code for ‘customer loan’ and all users can raise a $0 PO against that supplier code. Our POC then provides the PO No. to the customer to add to their documentation so we can confirm and receipt the delivery against.I am sure there is a standard way out of the box that we should be using and hoping someone can assist us?Thankyou in Advance.Peter

Sending Customer Invoice, Debit through EDI (INET_TRANS) create an Application Message called SEND_INVOICE_INET_TRANS. Within this file there is a row called PoReference which was tied to customer_po_no.Now with 25R2 SU7 this has been altered and replaced with internal_po_no.As a result, the Customer PO No from our external customer order is not fetched anymore and missing in the outgoing application message. We need to know, how we can fix this, so the Customer PO No from the external Customer Order can be included again in the application message.  Any advice how we can make this work again, since the CustomerPo is an essential part of the outgoing EDI messages.

Currently, the Create Count Report function in IFS generates reports based only on locations that contain inventory in the system. Locations with no inventory records are omitted from the report.This creates a significant operational challenge for inventory control teams whose responsibility is to verify the physical status of every warehouse location, not just those that currently contain inventory according to IFS.Current LimitationBecause empty locations are excluded from the count report:Inventory personnel cannot verify that a location is actually empty. Material that has been placed into an incorrect location may never be discovered because the location is not assigned for counting. Inventory control teams must maintain separate location lists or manually inspect every warehouse location outside of IFS. Count completion metrics do not accurately reflect the work required to validate all warehouse locations.Operational ImpactA location may appear empty in IFS while physically cont

Hi,Let’s say I have a main agreement with a fixed contract value. And there are a few subordinate suppliers with a different value altogether covering that main agreement value.Is there any functionality available within supplier agreement where I can link those sub agreements to the main one and track all the deductions?Main Agreement - $100Sub Agreement 1 - $50Sub Agreement 2 - $20Sub Agreement 3 - $30 If I raise a PO for Sub agreement 2 (let’s say $10) the same amount should be deducted from main agreement also.

Hello,Is there a documentation or any information available on the tabular format of the scanned document that should be there in the Scan Customer Order functionality introduced in the latest cloud release?I am looking for the information like, how the data should be formatted (what should be the columns in the table, what should be the order of the columns, how to name the columns etc.) etc.Thanks in advance.Best RegardsTharanga

Can we block a purchase part in IFS so that, these blocked parts are no longer appearing the the purchase part catalogue when trying to create a Purchase requisition line or as a part line in request for order quotations. Only the active or unblocked, purchase parts should be enable to select from the list of purchase parts when creating PR or RFQ lines? The aim of this requirement is to stop using the purchase part at PR level it self without going down further. Will this be an enhancement request?

Dear IFS Experts,I am experiencing issues with the selected records (377) in IFS Application 10. Previously, record 317 functioned perfectly. Do you have any suggestions for resolving this? Best,CTR

 Hello,We encounter an error when running the Execute step of the rental transfer between 2 different projects.At the "Execute" step, an error message appears: "Only Receive into Arrival and Inspect at Arrival are allowed for non-inventory parts." The item used in the test is an inventory item.The error doesn't seem to correspond to the situation.Have you encountered this situation before?Thanks for your help   

I’ve been trying to find an option to add a discount amount for a purchase requisition line. All I can find is the discount percentage, but this is not a valid option. My client is entering after the fact purchase reqs for things like hospitality and a discount amount is often given for a total amount, say $360. I can have the users manually calculate the discount percentage at the line level but this is not user friendly and often doesn’t add up to the correct net amount. I tried to create a 200% discount and it allows me on the Purchase Req line, however, there is a blocking message when attempting to convert to a PO, since the PO line would have a negative amount. I can do the discount total on a PO by using charges and entering a negative amount, however, I’m struggling to find any options to enter a discount amount for a purchase requisition line.Any thoughts or ideas? Thank you.

In the count per count report all the Parts are visible even though its qty on stock is 0.we understand that they are part of all warehouse stock and must be visible but in practice you count only what you have on stock ( if something doesn't exist on stock, it is normal its qty equal 0) therefore it is time consuming comfirming manually qty 0 for all missing parts.Would it be possible to have 0 automatically filled in for all positions with qty on stock 0?of course the field shoud remain editible for any differences.

When receiving material from transit, from a transport task, is there a way to unattach the Handling Unit during the receipt process?When we perform this process, we are transferring material from one warehouse to another, and one of the warehouses does not use Handling Units. Our requirement is to receive the material and automatically remove the Handling Unit association during the receipt process. Is this possible?

There is a field MSO Scheduling Information available in Shop Order Operations window? Does this field capture values in IFS 24R2 version also. I was unable to see any data getting fetched.While I could see that the field was capturing data in version of IFS 25R2.Also, in IFS 24R2 version - Finite Scheduling Basic Data screen, I could not see the field “Generate Scheduling Information”. From which version is this field made available?

Inventory Turnover Rate job runs into a timeout error. Go to Warehouse Management > Financial Control -> Analysis > Inventory Turnover Rate Enter parameters​​​​​​Click “Next” Timeout Error appears Currently this is considered as a limitation in the application, and the data volume is considered as a main root cause for the issue.Hoping to get a permanent fix for this issue.

Is there an IFS API or 3rd party software that can be used to track the movement of customer shipments from point A to point B. In specific we want to be able to track when a shipment is actually delivered by a carrier to a customer. We are trying to build a customer order performance KPI that measurements not only the internal fulfilment times but also how long it actual takes for a carrier to deliver the shipment to our customers once it leaves our warehouse. BTW we use Pacejet to process our shipments, so we do record tracking information in IFS.

Hi,We are facing a weird behavior when we’re trying to receive one Purchase Orde Line partially.we have 1 Purchase Order with 1 line (quantity = 10000 UN)Step by step example:Add 1 Charge on Charges tab with Charge Price = 100 Receive into Inventory 1000 UN (partial receive) on Inventory Transactions History, this first transaction (ARRIVAL) was impacted by Arrival charges (until now everything seems fine) add a second charge with Charge Price = 50  Receive into Inventory 1000 UN (second receive) on Inventory Transactions History for this second transaction we cannot see anything related to charges. then we made a Manual Supplier Invoice for thar charge to see what will happen, and the transaction impacted was the first one and not the second (as expected).Anyone with the same problem/question? Thanks,Joao

Hi,I am looking to see if I can get a better idea of what values are expected to be passed against ‘StdNameId’ attribute when working with the Part Handling API please - (ifs.cloud/main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/PartHandling.svc).I believe that it requires a numerical value from 0 to 10, but I want to understand what outcomes are driven by each of these values please. Is there documentation that supports the API usage here other than the API Explorer?Thanks

Dear IFS ColleaguesIn our comparison between IFS Applications 10 and IFS Cloud, we noticed that the report PURCHASE_ORDER_RECEPTION_REP appears to no longer be used in IFS Cloud, while ARRIVAL_REPORT_REP seems to be triggered instead during the receipt process.In Apps10, the Register Arrival process was used specifically for Purchase Orders. In IFS Cloud, however, the goods receipt process has been expanded to support additional object types, such as:RMA Repair RMA Shipment Order etc.Our assumption is that, due to this broader and more generic receipt process in IFS Cloud, the dedicated Purchase Order report (PURCHASE_ORDER_RECEPTION_REP) may have been deprecated and replaced by a single generic report (ARRIVAL_REPORT_REP) for all arrival scenarios.Is our assumption correct? If yes - are there any official documents where such changes are documentedBest Regards,Nikola
