Supply Chain

We have a problem in IFS APPS 10. When a customer order is created on IFS and the order type is “XPR”, IFS will issue the part from the last location used and not its default locationI think this is because the option below is set to “All locations” and not “Only specified location”.If I change it to “Only specified location” does that mean it will only use the default location?Or do I have to set something else?Thanks   

How does Handle Customer Order Shortages work in IFS cloud. i assumed that if i placed an order on the system and there were no corresponding shop order raised prior to the required date this would show up as a customer shortage prompting me to communicate with the other business units to find out why there is no build demand  

We are recently moved to Cloud from Apps9 and have an issue where if we make a change to a Supplier Part or Description on a Supplier for Purchase Part record, these changes are not reflected in the PO lines of any open POs we have for said part. New PO lines added after the change, pick up the correct/updated part/description Does anyone know if this is ‘to be expected’, a bug, a workflow/process we’re missing, a new action required in Cloud vs Apps9? Any information gratefully received. Thanks!Linda

Hello Team IFS,I would like to close the DOP Structure.My DOP is not connected to a customer order line. So i presume it should be delivered to stock  but I don’t know how … What should I do to completely close the thing : 

Hi, Can IFS handle the transformation of EDI xml files from Finvoice to other fromats as Peppol, EHF, Svefaktura for customer invocies. 

Hello Team, The DOP is well connected, and the preposting is also well done If I unpeg the Shop Order, it will allow me to reopen it but it is not what i want to do.Please help meWhen I try to reopen that’s the error : 

Issue : When performing Find & Connect on a Purchase Order for a manufactured part, the supplier for purchase part  lines are not fetched into Find & Connect. the supplier classification is not considered.Kindly refer to the attached PDF document which explains regarding the customer reported issue.

Hi!The online documentation states that depending on the mode of transportation, a different form of the dangerous goods declaration will be printed. E.g. if you send by boat/sea, a dangerous goods declaration for Sea Transport will be printed.I’m not able to get this to trigger at all. No matter if I use a Ship Via for Road Transport or Sea Transport and fill in only Dangerous Goods Data for Road, only for Sea, or both, I still only ever get the Road/ADR version and data on the printout from the Shipment. And that is only when I have ADR Class filled in. I’ve also tried for domestic and export customers.Does anyone know how this is supposed to work? Is it a very specific combination of basic data that is needed to trigger this form of the report? I think I have all necessary DG data (UN No, Proper Shipping Name, Packaging Group, IMDG Class, Ems, ADR Class, Tunnel Code) on the Dangerous Goods Classification Page, but I could be wrong.I got this question from a Customer running Apps 10

Hi, Here a case regarding "weighted average" for parts in inter-site flow.We have weighted average + cost per part Inventory Part in inter-site flow.Source Site unit cost = 12.Destination Site unit cost = 10.When we ship units from source site to destination site, SHIPTRAN + INTORDTR transactions are created and immediately weighted average in destination site goes 11. Even though, the goods will be in transport for about 7 days. During those 7 days this part stored in destination site is sold/issued with the cost 11, what affects margin rates etc. So the moment of recalculation of weighted average (moment of shipment instead moment of arrival) is quite questionable.Is this intentional behavior? Or maybe some parameter exists? Regards, Lukasz

We have instances where we need to change the inventory part number on a sales part after it has been saved and transactions are done. We cannot issue new sales part numbers every time we have new inventory parts because we have “printed” literature that shows our sales parts. So, we need the same sales part ID to remain, but connected to a different inventory part.In IFS applications 7, it was possible to change the Inventory part that was connected to a sales part in the “Sales Part” windowIn later versions, this possibility has been restricted, and the system was designed to maintain a one-to-many relationship between inventory parts and sales parts.Can you please specify the reason why this functionality was disabled after apps7? Can you suggest a workaround we can use in the above situation, instead of creating a new sales part?

Hi,We have a scenerio where Site A registers the customer order for an External Customer (Customer XYZ) and the order is supposed to delivered by Site B. The customer order lines are added with the supply code Int Purchase Dir where supplier and Supply Site is Site B and released. It created a PO for the supply Site. Now, in the Register Direct Delivery window RMB has 3 options 1) Direct Deliver to Customer 2)Direct Delivery with Serial 3) Direct Delivery from Internal Order Transit.Options 1 and 2 are disable in RMB menu, I can only choose option 3 which is “Direct Delivery from Internal Order Transit”. When I click on this option, Its giving a warning message “You cannot register direct delivery until internal supplier delivers materials.When we check register arrivals using the PO number, it does not have such record. How to complete the customer order delivery process? 

Is it possible to receive multiple serial numbers of a part within wadaco. Our supplier can provide an QR code containing multiple serialnumbers. Is it possible to handle such a QR code within the wadaco receive proces?

Hi All,I need some assistance in understanding the logic behind fetching data for the "Transaction Based Invoice Consideration Parts" section in the RNYI report.   

Apps10 UPD 16Customer is currently using Int Purch Trans and the Available Qty is showing the total inventory in the order taking site and the internal supply site.Is the Available Qty field on a Customer Order Line supposed to show: 1) only the inventory on the order taking Site, 2) only the inventory on the supplying Site, or 3) the inventory on all Sites? Does this value vary based on the Supply Code used?

Hello,Some POs / PO lines are more important then the others; they are crucial /necessary to be delivered on time for the project realization and for that reasons they need more attention in monitoring process.Is it possible to give them in IFS some kind of the high priority? to define them in IFS as very important by some icon or something similar?Regards,Kruthika

Hi All,I’m trying to process a Distribution Order and I am not sure why but I can not seem to get passed the “Stopped” status. When I try to Release the DO, it goes to “Stopped”.  I receive no message as to why. Any thoughts or advice?  

Recently we created a new Site and also set it up Master Scheduling as part of it. We are transitioning away from another site and wanted to essentially clone that site and use the cloned site to transition to. We already use master scheduling in other sites with no issues. But in the new site after entering a master schedule for a part and calculated the master schedule and MRP, we only get purchase requisitions instead of Distribution Orders between sites where we have setup an internal supplier and internal customer supply network (the new site is a DC and only purchases parts from other sites). We have checked the purchase part, supplier for purchase part, Inventory Part Planning Data, and the setup of the new site itself, and we still can’t get it to generate a DO instead of a purchase req. Are we missing a configuration/process step somewhere?  

We just updated APPS10 from Update 10 to 22 and now see no MRP action proposals for our standard planned materials against our project demands for these materials. Anyone familiar with a change that may have caused this?  No data in here after update 22, where our update 10 environment generates MRP action proposals for project demands after PMRP and MRP are run.

Hi everyone,How to classify a forecast part as Terminated?We have a forecast part with no transactions for several periods, but the part still shows as Intermittent.Can we define the number of periods with no transactions to classify a part as ‘Terminated’? Thank you 

One of the NA customers in construction field is looking for a solution where they can set up supplier part pricing per supplier delivery locations.They simply get different list pricesdepending on the delivery sites of the Supplier even thought the parts are delivered to the same company plant (Company/Site) What would be the easiest way to handle it in IFS Cloud new versons?Appreciate your thoughts. 

Hello community.I would like some help. We have a client who would like to control the capacity of a tank to store fuel. I didn't find anything on the IFSAPP10 - Warehouse Navigator/Capacities and Conditions screen that could inform, for example, that the Warehouse has the capacity to receive up to 200 L.Do we have any parameterization in IFSAPP10 to parameterize the capacity in liters? tks

We’ve recently discovered a challenge that when standard inventory is transferred to project inventory that the Latest Count date doesn’t get transferred to the new inventory part in stock record. We have a lot of movement of standard inventory into project inventory.The challenge is that it then uses the receipt date as the last counted date. In a lot of cases this puts the item back on the top of the list to cycle count. In our case this is causing a lot of unnecessary counting. It’s compounded if you have “Include Full Qty of Part In Location” selection.Is there anyway to get the new project IPIS record to include the Latest Count date? Below is an example of inventory that was moved from standard to project inventory. You can see the old latest count date on the first record and the new project inventory record is missing the count date. 

Currently in the implementation process and were interested in using Kanban Circuits to replenish our production lines in two of our sites. After initial testing, it seems Kanban is not possible to be a separate module outside of our normal MRP replenishment (Planning method A with safety stock and standard lot size). Our hope was Site A would produce and purchase parts via MRP to store in the warehouse. Site A, via distribution order generated through MRP, would send said material to Site B to store in their warehouse. Both sites A and B have production lines to consume these parts. Current process, these parts are back flushed out of a generic “market” location which we are trying to get rid of. Kanban circuits seemed like an ideal way to restock these production lines. If it is the case that we cannot use Kanban and also generate reqs with MRP, is there another way to accommodate the resupply of the assembly lines?

The help documentation seems to suggest that a “Move With Shipment Order” activity should be available from pages ‘Inventory Parts in Stock’ and ‘Handling Units in Stock’, but in the application it doesn’t appear to be possible (nor hidden in page designer) like “Move with Transport Task” is.  Please assist with what I may be missing, thanks!  IFS Cloud Documentation - Move with Shipment OrderIFS Cloud Documentation - Change Inventory Location, Shipment Order ​@Fredrik Johansson LKP

We have an order with a single order line with a quantity of 1.  This item is a large metal frame building and will take at least 3 50 FT flatbed trailers to ship.  What is the best way to do multiple shipments against this single line?  I’ve looked into handling units (50 FT trailer) and adding 3 of those to the shipment but I’m not crazy about splitting the line in to .333 of each to add an equal amount to each handling unit.  Wondering if there is a better way to handle this scenario.
