Supply Chain

Hello,I'm currently experiencing an issue in IFS Applications where the Kanban module shows stockouts (empty bins) on our assembly lines, even though materials are physically available at the point of use.As a result, the main warehouse receives unnecessary pick requests, which show up on their picking lists, even though the items are already at the line.In practice, warehouse staff often ignore these picks because they recognize the items as Kanban-managed — but this leads to confusion and inconsistency, particularly for new employees who aren’t familiar with the workaround. And sometimes there is also empty bins.Additionally, we don’t use the Kanban card functionality when performing part movements — instead, we rely on manual transfers.Could this

Hello, I have a client that wants to mass produce, 1000+, purchase orders in a week. So far these options are non starters:EDI - Supplier won't implement EDI so supplier schedules are not an option. Blanket agreements and releases Too time consuming due to volume Copying POs Too time consuming Possible OptionsForecasting independent demand MRP creating purchase requisitions Using Purchase Order Processing Types and Auto Processing Automatically Release POs Data Migration jobs to and events to create large numbers of POs Has anyone dealt with large volume PO creation without using supplier schedules?Thanks in advance

I have setup a Direct Delivery Freight Price List as per below but cannot get it to pull through on the Sales Quotation or Customer Order what am I missing?  

We have a scenario where we require PR Lines generated from a Customer Order Line with Supply Code Purch Order Trans to have Delivery Dates that take into account Suppliers Lead Time. Currently an information message appears if CO is manually entered, however orders are being received via a portal and generated in IFS (so message not being witnessed by the Users). On release of the CO, where the Supplier’s lead-time is 10 days, the PR Delivery Date matches the CO Delivery Date and the PR Latest Order Date is set approximately 10 days in the past. The Delivery Date is obviously not achievable and I am trying to work out if I am missing something in the set up. The Purch Order Trans Supply Code suits the customer as the item is not stocked and is purchased specifically for each customer order. However without manual intervention the CO and PO dates are not achievable. I realise that when the PO is created,  a similar info message about the Delivery Dates also appears, allowing

Hi,I’m getting the following error when trying to return the receipt.The part is a non-inventory part. In the site, the delivery address is defined.What could be the issue here?Thank you in advance.

Here is a scenario: I want to move a Part from one location to a drop-off by one user;  then I want another user to move that part at the drop-off to different location. Currently, I must create a Transport Task moving it from location to drop, then when until that is finished; then create another Transport Task moving it from drop to location. There has to be a way where I can create just ONE Transport Task programing that second move by another user, no?  Does anyone do this, or have a way around this? Thanks,Tony

Hi, what’s the easiest method to update the prices of certain characteristics? We have a configuration price list. There is a charachteristic ‘Color’, with the option ‘Yellow’. Let’s say we want to increase the price of the Yellow in every price list with 2%, how can this be done? I don’t see the same logic as with the base price update and the corresponding update of the price lists, as the charecterics are not in the base price? Thanks!

Can a shipment be created for a Purchase Order that is NOT Related/does not have a customer order?If this can be done please explain the steps.  We are using IFS Cloud Web version: 24.1.9.20250205094114.0.A purchase is created with “No Part Lines” as we are sending an inventory part to a supplier for some “processing” and the part would be returned to the same site.  As such, there is no customer order associated to this purchase order.Thanks in advance for any information/help with this issue.

Hi All, I have a demand site who sell configured parts to end customer and source from internal company (Int Purch Trans)The configured part gets price according to price set-upThe cost is updated when create Interim Order, that gives a “general cost according to template and Supplier for purchase part price) price ” for the part no but not related to configuration. I know that and it’s “as design” and IFS doesn’t support purchase price based on configuration :(.The supply site get an incomming customer order and the price for the specific part and configuration Id is calculated. The supply site confirm via MHS message to demand site. internal PO is updated. Now to the question, how can I update cost on COL for the end customer ​​using confirmed purchase price and defined cost template to get a correct cost and margin?  

Hello Experts,I have come across an issue relating to Project Material Demands, which I am not sure if it is the expected IFS behavior or a defect in the system. Please consider this scenario, I have a Part 240-10042, of which 10 units are available in the ‘Project Inventory’. I have created a Project Material Demand using the “Project Material and Services” page for the same part for 15 units and ‘supply option’ = ‘PMRP’. Then i go on to create a ‘reservation’. Upon clicking the ‘Reserve’ command, I get an information message indicating that all 15 parts couldn’t be allocated, but system ‘Reserves’ 10 available units against the Project Demand. 

Hi,We are looking at options on how to control custom codes on the PO level and based on what i can see this can be done by enabling the “Customs Import Declaration Number on Receipt”. Does anyone know if this functionality is working with other locations or only India, and does someone have a good way of adding Customs Information (HTS, COO, Custom Status) at the time of receiving a PO?

In Apps 10, the observation is that when entering a new customer order line for a Sales part number that has a Sales Part Cross Reference record (with customer part number and customer part number description), the Sales Part Description on Customer Order Line gets populated with the Customer’s Part Description instead of the description on the Sales Part record.Can you advise if this is the intended functionality and whether this can be controlled via a setting?Thanks

Hi All,I have a concern regarding the functionality of B2B customer orders and would appreciate your insights.Scenario:The user logs into the B2B portal and selects a product from the catalog. They enter the required quantity and submit the order. Upon submission, the order is created in IFS.Currently, the B2B portal does not provide an option to select a site or not visible it. Instead, when the order is created in IFS, the system automatically assigns the user's default site.Concern:This restriction to the default site limits flexibility, as users sometimes need to place orders from different sites. However, due to the current setup, they are unable to do so.Could you clarify the reasoning behind this functionality? Additionally, is there a possible workaround or enhancement to allow site selection at the order creation stage?Looking forward to your thoughts.

Hello everyone,I have a query from a customer and would appreciate your guidance on how to handle the following situation:A transport task was created for 10 pcs to be delivered to a specific location. Once the transport task was performed and the status was changed to Executed, only 9 pcs were needed at the destination. The remaining 1 pc is still in transit, even though the transport task is marked as Executed.The customer would like to return this remaining part to inventory. Could you please advise on the best way to resolve this and update the system accordingly?
