Blanket PO is where we get approval for first PO line and we add subsequent PO lines within the approved amount. However, once we enable “Project Unique Procurement” check box at project level; it is not possible to add subsequent lines to the PO due to below error.   Is there a workaround for this or any other way of creating a bulk PO from purchase order window itself.

Hi,What are the steps in the system to handle toll manufacturing?We need to send goods out to a third party who is processing and get it back in.Thanks

We are getting a lot of Handling Units in the application that are empty. Has anyone been able to clean these up somehow? It seems not be possible to delete these:   

Hi,As anybody else had the need to identify purchase parts coming back from the supplier after rework during the receipt of parts and how were you able to put it in place in IFS ?For example, I have a purchase order for 8 parts.First, I receive 5 parts. Out of those 5, 3 are broken and need to go back to the supplier for rework.Later on, I receive 3 parts from the suppliers. How do I identify if they are the 3 initial good ones I had not received yet or they are the parts that were sent back for rework ?Those parts are not lot batch tracked or serialised.Your help would be appreciated,Kind Regards,Anne-Sophie

Is there a process that can be run/scheduled to remove “orphan” Shipment records when Shipment Lines are reassigned to another shipment and the Shipment header no longer has any shipment lines. Sort of a “cleanup” process.

Hi,I am facing posting error on Shipment Charges in Shipment Invoice for Posting Type M68, M69, M70 Control Type C18 for Code Part F. I have attached the document for the detail setup i have done. I found the same issue in Apps-9 and Cloud as well. Can someone help me on this? Regards-Nahin

Helloi would like to see all the orderbook at once (firm orders and forecast orders)thanks

Hi,I am playing around with the Shipment Orders functionality and I have seen in other topics here that it is possible to receive items via the Register Arrival screen but the shipment orders are not being displayed. I have tried creating a Shipment Order using the Material Requisition tab from a Request Work Task (with the Supply Code = Service Location), as well as manually (from Site to Remote Warehouse). In none of the cases are the shipment orders shown in Register Arrival screen. Am I missing any configuration? I am using 24R2.Thanks  

Dear Community,The case is as follows:Case of unit not consistentThe customer buys 1 steel coil (purchase unit) with a conversion of 1000kg (stock unit).When weighed on receipt, the coil has a different weight, e.g. 1100kg.We wish to enter 1100kg in stock (production consumption unit for MRP...) and 1 coil in purchase unit (the price will not change).We've looked into the possibility of using capture units, but as the storage unit hasn't changed, this doesn't seem to be the answer.Do you have any other ideas?Thank you in advance! Best regards,Isabelle

Hello, I came across “Pricing Contribution Margin Control” and was wondering if it can be used to control the contribution margin on a business opportunity or sales quotation or customer order or is it ONLY applicable to sales price list as stated in the IFS documentation.I see it working on the sales price list, but hoping it’s some data set up I am missing and that it’s not native IFS functionality. Thank you!

Hi All,As soon as the PR authorization is completed, the requisitioner repeatedly gets completion notifications according to the execution plan as specified in the Task Schedule until the PR goes into closed status. Is this the normal behavior of this event? 

We are finding that the ‘Alt Delivery Note No’ is not always populating in the ‘Inventory Transactions History’ view Transaction Code - OESHIP.When the Customer Order is processed we can see on the CO History that the ‘Alt Delivery Note No’ is created when the delivery Note is printed from ‘Quick Order Flow Handling’ function ‘Create delivery note’. ‘Print Delivery NOte’ But the information is not populating in the table...The issue has only presented in IFS Cloud - not in EEThe Order Type event is set at ‘Stop After’ Create Delivery Note - this is the same setting in EEAny guidance would be appreciated.

As you know Refill Putaway creates Transport Tasks (TT). These TT lines always consider the units which does not have any reservation in the inventory. But we have a requirement now to Putaway already reserved parts from one location to another using TTs. (Moving Reserved Stock is allowed in the site)Ex: LOC-1 has 10 parts > 8 units have a CO reservation, 2 units are available.We want to move the entire 10 units (irrespective of the 8 reserved units) to LOC-2 using a TT which is created by the Putaway logic  Note: 10 parts are inside an HU

Does anyone know if distribution orders work for project demand from one site to another? We’ve been trying to set it up, but have not gotten any DOs created when there is inter site demand/supply within a project. Wondering if it’s setup that is missing or if it’s not part of functionality. Appreciate any guidance.

I’m in our Italian entity.We place a customer order to a customer in France with Direct delivery from our supplier in Poland. A classic Triangulation with Italy as a middleman. The goods are sent from the Polish supplier to directly to our French customer without passing the Italian border.In a standard Intrastat solution this should not be reported in the Intrastat report neither acquisitions or deliveries. According to Italy they are referring to the following rule:UE1 vende al promotore ITA che vende a UE2 - Merce va da UE1 a UE2 - Trasporto a cura di UE1ITA riceve Ft da UE1 N.I. e la integraITA fa Ft N.I. art. 41 designando debitore di Iva UE2ITA Si Intrastat Acquisti e Cessioniand Article 40© DL 331/93 Application saying that :Article 40(c) of DL 331/93 allows the Italian company to avoid Italian VAT on the transaction, as the goods are being delivered from Poland

Hi Team, Does anyone know what the use case is for the “Other” option of the Customer Category? What is the designed purpose for this?Thank you,Alex

We switch from IFS10 to IFS Cloud and are still testing IFS Cloud (currect 24R2).When we try to create a new Customer with Category Customer the system does not allow us to do so. When we try to create a new Customer with Category another category we can save the created customer. Where in IFS Cloud is the setup, that we cannot create a new customer with Category “Customer”? 

Hi all, I’m trying to configure a pie chart in IFS that groups Purchase Order Lines by Planned Receipt Date using a calculated column called Days, which bins records into segments like ‘Overdue’, ‘Next 7 Days’, ‘Next 14 Days’, etc.  Here’s the CASE logic used for the Days column:(CASE WHEN PLANNED_RECEIPT_DATE < TRUNC(SYSDATE) THEN 'Overdue'  WHEN PLANNED_RECEIPT_DATE BETWEEN TRUNC(SYSDATE) AND TRUNC(SYSDATE + 6) THEN 'Next 7 Days'   WHEN PLANNED_RECEIPT_DATE BETWEEN TRUNC(SYSDATE + 7) AND TRUNC(SYSDATE + 13) THEN 'Next 14 Days'  WHEN PLANNED_RECEIPT_DATE BETWEEN TRUNC(SYSDATE + 14 ) AND TRUNC(SYSDATE + 20) THEN 'Next 21 Days'  WHEN PLANNED_RECEIPT_DATE BETWEEN TRUNC(SYSDATE + 21) AND TRUNC(SYSDATE + 29) THEN 'Next 30 Days'  WHEN PLANNED_RECEIPT_DATE >= TRUNC(SYSDATE + 30) THEN '30+ Days

We are currently trying to use the order cover time on a manufactured part by setting it to Planning Method G. We want the demand as seen on MS Level 1 to be assessed over the cover time and used to generate shop order requisitions for the demand within the order cover time. However, Planning Method G only appears to work for Purchased Parts. Has anyone managed to get this work for manufactured parts?

Currently launching our first Site in IFS Cloud, and have varying internal experience and opinions on serializing parts. Specifically, stocking our finished goods in IFS Inventory with serial data.  I’m hoping to get some pro/cons from the community while we continue with testing. What has your experience been? Do serials complicate transactions in any way, inventory based or accounting? Are they benefiting inventory control? What didn’t you know before implementing serial tracking?Some additional details: We plan to use handling units for stock, picking/shipping. Our business is automotive based, and we are reviewing customer requirements for traceability. Thanks in advance for any and all feedback! 

Is there a way to see the Supply & Demand information only for certain types of supply and demand? The Inventory Part Availability Planning page seems to have all of the data that I am looking for, but I cannot see any indication of the type of supply or demand in the details. In our company, we carry inventory of many parts. For many of these parts, in addition to selling from our inventory, we also have customer orders entered where the supply code is Purch Order Dir. I would like to find a page where I can view all of our inventory supply and demand for a part, excluding the Purch Order Dir data.For example, in the screenshot below I can see all of the Customer Orders, Purchase Orders and Purchase Reqs for this part. This information would be extremely helpful for inventory planning, but I have realized that it also includes any CO’s or PO’s that are Purch Order Dir. And I see no way to filter those rows out of the table. So in the end, this view is really not very use

Hi, I can’t seem to figure out what permissions or grants I need to provide to enable the end user to select the Warehouse ID, Bay ID, Row ID etc etc in the Create Count Report screen. These options are greyed out. They can select the Site they have access too but not other options, any advice would be appreciatedThanksRavi ​​​​​​ 

Good morning everybody, Does somebody has a function description of the field “Handling Unit at CO Delivery” in page “Customer-Sales-Sales” and which is the related parameter in page “Site”?Thank you for feedback. Best regards, Rolf  

Hello IFS community, I have a question regarding how the Lot Size Based Product Structure works. Here is a short summary of what I tested:Product Structure  - Lot Size Structure – Anything bigger than 23 pcs should have Alternate “1” and anything smaller should use alternate “*”.I then master scheduled 35 pcs of this part number in one day. My Planning details for lot sizing are set as follows: Max lot size set to 25 pcs (no min or Std).Result – Two Shop Order requisitions: 1 with 10 lot size and one with 25 lot size but BOTH with alternate 1 (only for lots bigger than 23). EXPECTED result: Two Shop Order Reqs: 1 with 10 and one with 25 but with different PRODUCT ALTERNATES. In this case, we are trying to tell IFS to use a different packaging for when we make 25 pcs Lot size. I read in the link below that only MRP checks through Lot Size Based Product Structure:

Hello Community,I’m currently performing returns on prepare work orders and have encountered a situation I hope someone can help clarify. When I return a part to inventory, I get the option to select a cost bucket ID. I typically choose cost bucket ID 110, but when I review the transaction history, I notice that the cost bucket displays as '*'.Is there a specific logic or reason behind this behavior? I’m particularly observing this with standard cost parts, so I’m curious if there’s something specific to those items that might be causing this discrepancy.Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!
