Supply Chain

Hi Community,I have a requirement from a client where they purchase parts (these parts are not assets) for a project. When the parts are received, they need to be issued for work, and after the work is completed, the same parts will be returned back to stock.However, the challenge is that we need to issue the inventory that was purchased for the project, because the cost must be moved from the Inventory account to the P&L account to support project revenue recognition.Could you please share your experience if you have come across a similar requirement, and whether there is any possible way to handle this scenario within IFS?One possible option I considered is using a Work Order, where materials can be issued and later returned. However, this approach does not work for our case.Also, I cannot simply issue and unissue the material against the project demand, because the cost of the purchase needs to be moved from Inventory to P&L for revenue

Hi All,Is there any possibility that we can exclude the Shipment Order from MRP Planning.My business scenario is where, my customer maintain their demands inside the project as project demands. Supplies are generated based on the project demand and then I need to move this stock to a off site location (Cross borders). But when I create a shipment order and add the part to a shipment order, that relect in “Inventory part availability planning” page.And when I run the PMRP and MRP supplies are created for both project demand and shipment order. Ideally its an inventory movement. Is there a way that I can exclude the shipment orders from MRP planning?Thanks,Chamath

I am trying to create a supply chain but before that I need to figure out what these type translates into (an actual workable type). Example, MRP Planned Demand » which IFS window I need to go validate this info? Shop Order Requestions? Purchase requisitions? My hope is most if TYPE would tie to either any requisitions or shop/purchase order if not all.  TYPE TRANSFORMED TYPE MRP Planned Demand   Work Task   MS Supply   Purch Order

Hi All, Everything tells me this is how MRP is supposed to work, but I’m wondering if there is a setting to override this. If new demand is added on a earlier date the new shop order req sits on the existing demand date, and then there is an action proposal to reschedule the first supply shop order.See example below. Lines 6,7,8 were created last month, and the supplying shop order created at the same time.New demands 1,2,3, were added yesterday. The shop order req that has appeared when MRP ran overnight if for more supply for the July date.I would like the shop order req to be on 26/03 date instead.Version - Cloud 24R1Thank you.     

Hi,We have created a simple Custom Event against CustomerOrderLine that automatically selects the Price Freeze check box on saving the Customer Order.   This works perfectly for all but one Customer!  If I create a new Customer Order for any other customers, with any Sales Part, it works just fine.Does anyone have any suggestion as to where I can look, especially around this one particular customer, that could be causing the custom event to not trigger or its action to be over written?We have no other custom events, other than this one, for CustomerOrderLine.If you require any further information then please let me know.We are running APPS10 UP17

Hi All,What is the normal process if a configuration needs changing on a customer order line where a pegged purchase order exists?Is it to cancel the line, recreate, then add the new requisition to the existing Purchase Order, or is there a way the configuration can be changed on the customer order line and replicated on the connected purchase order line?Cheers,Jamie

Hi all,Can I set up default lead times in IFS CLOUD 24R2 for Shipment Orders from Site to a Remote Warehouse belonging to the same site?The Picking Lead can be set up on Site > Warehouse Management > General: Picking Lead Time.But how about the Transport Lead Time, External Transport Lead Time and Internal Transport Lead Time that are used by Shipment Orders?Thanks,Gunther

Hi all,We’ve noticed that for Non‑Inventory Customer Order Lines in IFS Cloud, the Non Inventory Qty to Deliver automatically becomes 0 whenever the Planned Due Date is in the future. Could someone explain why behavior or logic behind setting Qty to Deliver to 0 for future Planned Due Dates? Any practical examples.Thanks,Sureka

Hello, can somebody explain me how the access rights in Export Control are working?In Export license Access Rights tab I set that user IC-ROFASK has no access to read/edit licence or view/edit/administrate document.Also on document revision I enabled Export Control and Access Rights via Export License When I log in as user IC-ROFASK I can see/edit this export license and also document revision.Also I am able to find and connect this license to order.I thought that with these settings this user will have no access to this export license/document revision.Am I missing something? Thanks for any advice. Romana

A customer wants to add several customers as commission receivers in IFS Cloud for one Agreement ID. This is restricted in the standard version. Is there any alternative way to reach this setting? 

Hello, I would like to automatically reserve all available shipment lines/shipments for shipment orders. I have done this for Customer Orders where I automatically reserve lines via a database task (I have it scheduled to run every 2 minutes), but there doesn’t seem to be any database task that can achieve the reservation for shipments. The reservation button for shipments is a projection action called StartShipmentMainSingle for the ShipmentHandling projection. Since you can’t schedule projection actions as database tasks, how can I achieve this? Any and all advise/input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Bryan

Hi Everyone, I have an issue: I have an active rental in progress. I wanted to create a replacement order, so I right-clicked on my line and selected “Create replacement order”.I released it, reserved it, delivered it, etc.I then went back to my rental follow-up, stopped the rental, and processed an equipment return on the original order. Up to that point, everything was fine.However, when I look at both orders: the original order is still in “Delivered” (the status did not change), and the replacement order was automatically invoiced/closed (I can’t view the invoice details). Should I understand that, logically, even if I processed a material return on the original order and ended the rental earlier than planned, I still need to invoice the original order? (it doesn’t seems logic)The replacement order does have an end date further in the future, and yet it was invoiced and closed automatical

Currently, in the Matching Lines dialog (accessed when matching PO lines from a Manual Supplier Invoice), column sorting is not supported. Its noted the list appears to be backend-controlled and designed as a transactional selection dialog rather than a sortable grid. As a result, users cannot sort by Line No, Part No, Quantity, or Amount.Although filtering is technically available, it does not sufficiently support practical invoice matching scenarios.Business ImpactThis creates significant difficulty for customers handling: Large purchase orders with many lines Multiple invoices against a single PO High daily invoice volumes When “Match All” is not applicable (e.g., partial invoices), users must manually review long unsorted lists, which significantly increases matching time and reduces efficiency.Requested EnhancementPlease consider enabling column sorting (o

Do you any of you out there in the Community have need for outbound inspections as you send out shipments?  This is a requirement of our business. Currently, we use IFS9 and have a heavily customized set of logical units and fields to support an outbound inspection process on our Shipments.  A version of it is also used on our Transport Tasks. As we kick off our upgrade to Cloud 25R2, I’m trying to think of alternative ways to do those inspections, whether in or out of the system.  If we used some sort of external process, at least we could maybe cut down our custom material to some minimal custom fields, rather than needing to apply business logic.  If any of you are already using any of these processes, I’d love to hear your stories!

Hello,In IFS Cloud, is it possible to automate the ‘Delivery Confirmation of Customer Orders’ based on the receipt of purchase orders for which a "Receiving Advice" has been created and sent via MHS ?The objective is to automatically generate sales order Delivery Confirmations as soon as a purchase order receiving advice has been issued.For clarification, this is within the context of an intercompany flow between two sites (one buyer and one seller). Thank you in advance for your support Best regards

Hi everyone,currently we use system for calculating distribution and production plans (not IFS) (supply, distribution, inventory) and IFS for execution (PO / CO).We are evaluating whether IFS alone could cover more of the planning scope.Could you please clarify whether IFS (and in which modules) supports the following:Distribution planning Planning stock transfers between plants and DCs Deciding from which location to supply demand when multiple sources exist Handling constrained situations (limited stock or supply) Multi-echelon & supply planning Coordinated planning across multiple levels (supplier → plant → DCs → regional DCs) Inventory balancing across echelons Creating time-phased supply plans and sharing what suppliers need to produce and when

Hi everyone,I am looking for guidance or a possible workaround for this business case.My customer uses many kit items (kits manufactured using a standard BOM). These kits are sent to a project location through a customer order.After the project is finished, some items are returned to the warehouse. However, they are not returned as complete kits. Instead, the remaining parts are returned as individual components and put back into stock.How can we handle this in IFS? Instead of using customer orders, I tried using shipment orders and moving the stock to a “Remote Warehouse” (project location). However, I could not find a solution for handling the kit issue this way. If I use RMA to receive the returned components, what should I do with the original kit item at the project location? How can I identify which parts were consumed? Is there any other practical or better way to manage this proces

In the "Purchase Requisition Lines" screen, the field "Supplier" displays a concatenated value of:Supplier ID – Supplier NameHowever, when exporting data from this screen to Excel, the generated file contains a column named Supplier, but it only includes the Supplier ID. The Supplier Name is completely missing from the export.This behavior is currently reproducible: In all IFS Cloud versions In Aurena Identified previously as a framework limitation Business ImpactA customer has raised the same issue and is not satisfied with the proposed workaround. The workaround suggested creating a custom field, but the customer has explicitly declined this option.Their feedback is as follows:They are intentionally avoiding creating new cust

Hello,I was hoping someone could help me with understanding how the Return to Vendor for Credit and Rework works in IFS Cloud.My question really revolves around the differences between Cloud and Apps9.When Returning for Rework in Apps9, the PO Receipt would close, but the PO line would open so it could be registered and received back into inventory on a new receipt. That doesn’t seem to be how it works in Cloud as far as I can tell. I can’t get the parts backed out of inventory and generate a Return Transaction or receive the line back into inventory.Could someone explain the differences to me and what it is I might be missing? Thanks in advance,Andrew

Screenshot from Shop Order Tracked Structure showing 5 x serial numbers for the 2 components.Screenshot from Shop Order History showing 6 x serial numbers for 2 components have been issued We recently went live with lot/batch tracking and serial tracking on some components. I am trying to receive a shop order, and am getting an error telling me that there is not enough of the above components in the tracked structure to process the shop order. I have tried regenerating the tracked structure, but am unsure how I can ‘add’ the missing serial numbers into the tracked structures.
