Hi all, I am trying to calculate the part cost for an alternate different than ’*’. I have set up a product structure with alternate ‘*’ and alternate ‘1’. For testing purposes, both alternates have the same components. Both alternates have the buildable status. When I calculate the cost set 5 for alternate ‘*’, no problem is found, and the cost is correctly calculated. When I try to calculate cost set 5 for alternate ‘1’, I get the message that ‘Manufacturing/Purchase Structure is not found’. In the message log i see that ‘No Buildable/Plannable Structure Revision Found’ The structure exists and is in buildable state. Am I missing something? Is there anyone used to work with cost calculation for different alternates who has been through this issue before? Regards

Hi, I am currently having trouble with shortage handling in IFS Cloud. I’m trying to get the shortage notification to appear when I place a Customer Order in the scenario where there is no stock available to fulfill the order. I have enabled the Shortage Notification toggle on the Inventory Part and the Shortage Handling toggle on the Parameters for Supply Chain and Manufacturing page. I have checked to make sure there was no quantity on hand and also see the orders with shortages on the Handle Customer Order Shortages page. Is there anything I’m missing for this message to appear? Any help is appreciated!

Hello everyone,I would like to know what is the best use of the “Product family” field.The IFS standard description tells us that it is used “to group parts into product structures”. Does this mean that if I create a product family “A” that is also a finished item and associate it with this family, I can group all the semi-finished (manufactured) items that make it up? Also, in the help, they talk about grouping at level 0 in the master production plan. Can you explain this to me in detail?Thanks in advance

Hi Team, I want to change authorizer under Purchase order because when I try to release it, system is generating an error that you are not a authorizer. (Product Version:23R2)  

When the Supply Code is Inventory Order, we can Unreserve the line through Reserve Manually option by giving the negative Reserve Qty. But when the Supply Code is Purchase Order, we can not see that Unreserve option in the line level. Can somebody explain me the logic behind this?  Thank You! 

Hello All,I have set up a part as a Supplier Schedule. It is creating the Supplier Schedule correctly when I run MRP. I now have set up the part as a Master Scheduled part, but when I try to run the Master Schedule I get the following error. What might be the problem? See image below: 

Hi, We are introducing IFS Cloud and have tested our first EDI message, receiving this into our system. When this has came in, the Vendor code, which is on the XML message from our customer has transferred to the “Customer Agreement Cross Reference” field. When trying to receive the EDI into Cloud, the message stopped until we removed the Vendor code from this field in “Incoming customer schedule”Does anyone know why this would transfer into this field? We currently use Apps 09 and the Vendor Code comes in the same XML format and does not effect receiving EDI.  Thank You 

We are trying to run DDMRP on manufactured and purchased parts.  The quantity calculation is perfect, and is lifting the stock out of the yellow zone, with a requisition due in 13 days time (the lead time).  However, it is ignoring any other requirements further out in time - here there are two orders, one due in March, and the other in May.  I would like to see req's for these as well as they will then become part of the Machine Load per work centre.  Without this, sudden capacity demands may be invisible until the order date reaches the lead time.  

Dear,I hope this message finds you well.I am reaching out to request assistance regarding the "Address Setup" configuration. I have encountered an issue with the character limit, where it seems possible for a user to input up to 100 characters in the "Use Defined Row Length" and "Max Row Length" fields. However, when attempting to enter 36 characters or more, the system does not allow it, and I receive an error message regarding character overflow only up to 70 characters.Given that the limit is set to 100 characters, shouldn't the system allow the input based on the defined limits?Could you kindly clarify the reason behind this behavior and provide guidance on how to resolve it?What is Thank you in advance for your support.Best regards,Drielly SilvaSenior Supply Chain ConsultantIFS Latin

Is there a method to disconnect customer order from a DO? I have an orphaned order that is still released but connected to Distribution Order that has been closed. Related PO to this DO has been cancelled so not a way that I know to reopen the DO. 

It's not allowed to receive shop order linked to a customer order line, when that particular customer order line is connected shipment which is in “Accepted “status. How to fix this error? 

Will you absorb tariffs levied by the USA, Canada and/or Mexico on your products? Will you increase your prices to match the tariffs? Will you pass on the tariffs as a separate sales charge for each of your products? Will you pass on the tariffs to all of your customers, or will some customers receive special deals or discounts? If so, how will you administer the different deals? Our company is just considering this now. I’m considering a single sales charge group and sales charge type for affected products. We may need to create a customization to pass the charge on based on origin and destination country. 

When duplicating a customer order line, why does the price not also get copied over? The quantity does but not the price. Our units are second hand so the price varies so we do not have fixed pricing on our sales part. What is currently happening is the price of £0.00 on our sales part is what is populating the Price on the duplicated line rather than the price from the line it was copied on. is there a way to change this, selecting price freeze doesn't seem to stop this.

In Apps 10 Enterprise Explorer, if we have a purchase part that has no assigned Supplier for Purchase Part record(s), we can RMB from the Purchase Part screen and select Supplier for Part from the menu. This will bring us to the Supplier for Purchase Part screen and will automatically start the creation of a new Supplier for Purchase Part record, automatically filling in the Purchase Part No from the source screen. The user just needs to complete the rest of the required fields and save.Similarly, if we are on a Work Order Part Requisition line and enter a purchase part with no Supplier for Purchase Part record, we can link directly from the RMB menu to the Supplier for Purchase Part screen and it wi

Hello,  We are using IFS Apps 10 version 24.34.0 Regarding purchased parts. We are buying in injection moulded plastics where we have 1 common tool for 4 separate purchase parts.Is there a way to either link these parts together so that when a PO is raised it either automatically adds the other components or pops up a warning message.ORIs it possible to have 1 parent part number that then disaggregates into the other parts upon registering arrival ? 

We have a number of very old Return Material Authorizations (RMA) in our system that are connected to Service Orders. I'm looking to cancel them (they don't have any credits associated), or receive the non-inventory items (for the RMA's that do have credits).These were created in error years ago and I'm looking to do some cleanup.Has anyone gone through this exercise and know how to delete/cancel/receive RMA's connected to Service Orders? We get the following error when trying to remove credit approval, receive the non-inventory line item, cancel the RMA. I am in IFS Cloud 23R1   

In IFS 9.0, manufacturing shop orders are created with a ‘Planned’ status.In IFS Cloud, when the shop order is created, the status is ‘Released’.  How can this be changed to ‘Planned’ upon creation, automatically?  The status can be changed manually, but prefer ‘Planned’ status upon creation.

Hi all,It is not possible to fill up existing Handling Units in Stock. Whether from “Receipt” or from “Inventory Parts in Stock”. Do you know why? Starting position:I have a Handling Unit in Stock with a Part which have a Part Handling Capacity of 72pcs per Handling Unit.Now I have already this Part in a Handling Unit in Stock with 56 pcs.So in my eyes it should possible to fill up this Handling Unit with the same part, because there is still space for 16 pieces (72-56=16). Regarding the capacity settings- Part handling unit capacity is correctly maintained- Inventory part storage requirements is correctly maintained- Inventory location capacities is correctly maintained- Handling unit capacity is correctly maintainedbut I can't add the same part to the existing handling unit l either in receipt or in inventory parts in stock. So it can't find the existing Handling Unit in Inventory Location?
