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 appreciated Thanks Ravi ​​​​​​

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: Selecting Product Structure Alternate while performing MRP/MS in App-9 | IFS Community Is this true or am I facing a bug? An

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!

Through some customer order integration, we would like to explore the possibility of using customer orders, not shipment orders to trigger shipment creation with a Remote warehouse receiver type. Has anyone had any success here?

Has anyone else run into this: IFS Cloud 22R2; Stock is in a Remote Warehouse Picking Location. When you try to Report Picking using Shipment Inventory on a Shipment for this item, you cannot select the Shipping Location Type to move the Inventory. They are not shown in the LOV.

Hi Everyone,In supplier agreement what is used to control which supplier contract IFS Cloud uses for the quantity?We have 2 contracts, the old one still has some quantity (14) left and new one is fully (200) unutilized. Our PO is taking new contract since the quantity from old is not sufficient. Is the validity date or the contract number the decisive point here?What can be the case if we are able to use old contract first and then new one. Thank you.

Hi Experts, I’m currently unable to close the accounting period due to the error message: “Transactions waiting to be transferred from Distribution and/or Manufacturing.” To investigate, I checked the Supply Chain and Manufacturing Posting Analysis and found 302 records with the status marked as Completed. I attempted to transfer these transactions by running the Purchase Transactions process, but no changes occurred, even though the background process shows as posted successfully. Upon reviewing the Purchase Transaction Details, I discovered that all 302 records are linked to a single calculated Purchase Order (PO) & Site. At this point, I’m unsure how to proceed, as the transactions are not transferring and are blocking the period closure. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Nikila Dissanayake

How can I get intersite cost to update on receipt? We want to automatically update the purchase price on Site#1 with the cost from Site#2. The part on Site#1 is setup as an intersite purchased part from Site#2 where the part is setup as Manufactured part and using standard labor costs. The PO and CO and Shop ordes are processed properly.But the costs we captured in Manufacturing with raw materials and labor time are only on Site#2. Is there a process that will update the price on Site#1 when the PO is received with the cost value from Site#2? We currently have to manually update pricing on Site#1. Thank you

Hi,I want to create a Purchase Order Line directly in status Planned.But when I create a PO Line, it gets status Released by default. How can I configure or control the PO Line to be in Planned status when it's created?Is it possible?

We have connected a Packaging Material Part to our Handling Unit Types.When adding the handling units to our Shipment Handling Unit Structure the inventory part corresponding to the Packaging Material Part connected to the handling unit is consumed from the inventory - so far so good. However if I have the packaging material part stored in multiple inventory location I’m currently lacking a possibility to choose which inventory location it should be consumed from.Do anybody know about such functionality?

Can you change the logo of the customer invoice report for a specific order type? This should overrule the standard company logo on the invoice.

Hello Community, Does IFS have a screen or field where supplier NAICS codes can be entered? NAICS = North American Industry Classification System

Getting what we think is an erroneous toast message for date on Customer Order Line when using Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date and Delivery Routes Attached set up reflects a manufactured Inventory Part with no leadtimes associated with it (no picking leadtimes on site) and a Delivery Route for 1159pm Customer address has one day transport time and Supply Code on Customer Order line is Shop Order In the example, entry was on 4/3/25 for a Wanted Delivery Date of 4/4/25 (system generated based on transit time) and Planned Due Date on Customer Order Line was 4/3/25 at 1159pm Toast message indicated earliest possible delivery date was 4/5/25 - but the connected shop order reflected a Finish Date of 4/3/25 at 1159pm Why is the system indicating to the user the earliest possible delivery is 4/5/25 when the shop order will be complete on 4/3/25 at 1159pm?

Is the demand planning in IFS is taking lead time from SUPPLIER FOR PURCHASE PART or INVENTORY PART?

Has anyone had issues with material reservations on Parked Shop Orders preventing a Purchase Req from generating on Shop Order Outside Operations? Normally, once a Shop Order is created in the Planned status (usually from a Customer Order), we will put the Shop Order on the Parked status while approvals and verifications are being done. And, once everything is in order, it is unparked and then put to Released status, which triggers the Purchase Req for a Shop Order Outside Operation. Unfortunately, there are times in which material for a Shop Order on Park status will get reserved on the Shop Order Materials Tab (normally because it is in high-demand and the team is trying to ensure it is not used elsewhere). If this happens, though, the Shop Order when unparked will go straight to a Reserved status, and will not go back to Planned status. It will also never go to a Released status, nor is there a way to manually “release” the Shop Order unless you unreserve all the material. And, beca

Hi, What is the difference between “copy customer order line” and “duplicate customer order line” within one customer order? I tried both options and when I copy the line, default info is checked as YES and I have default delivery address. But when I duplicate the line “default info” isn’t checked. But when I copy the line which has “single occurence” checked as YES, than a new line has “default info” which means delivery address is the default one but not the same as in the line from which it was copied. I am trying to find the best solution when it customes to copying the lines with the same delivery address.Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hi, We have a setup where site A place purchase order to Site B and site B purchase from external supplier for direct delivery to site A, see below picture. We have tried different setups in supply chain matrix to define transport lead time from external supplier to demand site A but so far without success. Does anyone have an idea if this is possible and if so how?

Hello everybody : We're facing an awkward situation. Previously, printing the delivery note included all lines from the customer order. For example whether they were delivered or not But now, we are just getting the line of the delivery action : The print is being done from the Print Delivery Note for customer orders page : Any idea why or how to analyse please?

When a shipment is changing the status to complete, we need to collect commercial invoice and packing list operational reports in PDF format, to build the documentation package for the carrier. What would be the way to link an event/BPA on the shipments table with a process of automatically generating these two operational reports and sending them to a SFTP location? Is there a way to maybe generate an XML file (same as an E-Invoice process) which can contain the PDF attachments base64 encoded and embedded in the XML? Any hints would be kindly appreciated.

Hello All! Has anyone ever used IFS alongside any point of sales applications such as Shopify? We are a manufacturing business but the other half of our operations are Retail/Sales based. Would be useful to hear if anyone has had a similar experience, and how they managed to get set up :) Thanks!

Hi we are looking into standard lead times automatically being added to promised dates when entering Customer Order Lines. Currently, even if the Expected Lead Time has a value, the initial Promise Date will still be sysdate. We do get an informational text stating that the suggested date should be sysdate + Lead time, but it allows the line to remain at sysdate. Based on what we read from other forum posts, it seems like this is the opposite to how standard practices work, but we are not sure why our system allows this. Why does the first promise date (during new line creation) not automatically include the Expected Lead Time?

We are experiencing an issue with IFS where customer orders are being placed on credit hold during shipment completion by the logistics department, preventing them from closing shipments. Our standard procedure is for credit limit checks to occur during order release by customer service, followed by credit team review and release if necessary. Recently, however, logistics has reported frequent instances of orders being blocked upon attempting to complete shipments. Could you please confirm if there are specific settings within the customer setup that determine when IFS performs credit limit checks and applies credit holds? Specifically, are there any settings that could trigger these checks during shipment completion? Following was set up in basic data and only credit checks at order release and not in any other points Thanks Udanee
