Supply Chain

Has anyone used the Enhanced ATP functionality released in 22R2?  After playing around with this in a reference environment, I’ve noticed some interesting behavior and it appears I may not be grasping some of the intended value by this enhancement. Below are just a few points I’ve seen thus far:Batch Release of Customer Orders It’s only possible to batch Release Customer Order Lines if the Planned Due Date is before or sooner than the Expected Unlimited Supply Date (EUSD) from the Inventory Part.  Why would you not be able to Release Customer Orders after this date?  Isn’t the assumption that all demand could be satisfied in theory after this date? Replanning of Customer Order Line Dates The Replanning feature does modify the Planned Delivery Date at times but only if any incoming Supply is arriving sooner than the EUSD. For example, if the Purchased Lead Time is 6 days (4/3/23) and the EUSD is 14 days (4/11/23). Availability Check will not allow you to enter a Customer Order Line

Hi,When I select the quotation request option when creating the supply request from project material lines, it still ends up in a purchase requisition, which only give the possibility to create quotation out of that requisition. It does not automatically create a request for quotation from the project material demand line. It crates the requisition and then the user has to manually convert this to a request for order quotation. Is this the correct behavior? or do I miss any setups here ?Thank you

If we set ‘Site to Site supply chain parameters the ‘Transport Lead Time’ it considered for the PO in demand site. we can see separate Arrival date and Delivery date based on the number of days that we set for Transport Lead Time.But when we set Direct Shipment to Demand Site parameters in ‘Supplier to Site Supply Chain Parameters’ page it is not considering the Transport Lead Time for the PO in demand site.Is there any additional configuration exists in direction shipments to get separate Arrival date and Delivery date?

Hello,We have noticed that the Market Price, Comment and Boccenter fields are missing in many Purchase Orders (POs). When Market Prices are added to the Purchase Orders, the values are neither saved nor displayed in the POs, although we have all this data present in these custom fields.These fields appear empty; however, after performing a hard refresh and re-logging into the application, or after clearing the application cache i.e. 'configuration context mappings cache' and logging-in again, the values become visible.At present, the issue persists in most POs, while the information remains visible in some of the orders.In addition, we are experiencing another issue in the IFS system, where all the data is not loaded properly. Quality Inspection and Document Control information are missing, and multiple page refreshes are required before the data becomes visible. The same behavior is also occurring in the Receipts window.What could be the root cause and the possible solution of these i

I’ve added the test steps as below. Could you please look into them and let me know how can I solve this issue?Functional StepsI’ve used below steps to create a new case.Go to New Case using My Call Center (Relationship Management > My Call Center > New Case) added a Customer.

 Hello community, We are in IFS Cloud 24R2 and  we would like to upgrade to 25r2 Su9. I have a problem this yhe adjusted demand in forecast demand.The quantity in “adjusted demand” is changed by a process. I can't figure out why this happens or how to prevent it.This field is normally edited manuallyI get the impression that these changes are related to the qualification task. I came across a discussion about the adjusted demand, which can change depending on certain parameters. I’ve checked my database and everything’s fine.Thanks for you help  

Is Group/Sum option in Advanced Search functionality available in IFS Cloud version? There are several topics posted covering this topic. As the below entries were few years old, I was hoping something might have changed in between. Can I know that, will this Group/Sum option included in upcoming cloud version. If it is already available, is there any material on how this is done?Missing Group/Sum option in IFS Cloud #GSDTECH# | IFS CommunityAdvanced search (i.e. group, count, sum, etc) | IFS Community One of IFS customers has raised this question again and In App9 & App10 user had the possibility to conduct advanced searches by grouping values and summarizing values in table views. They wants to know whether this will be included in a release in the near future. Business Impact: User will have to use longer methods to find information that is required. Thank You & Best Regards,

We are working to implement the India GET Functionality. To enable the new functionality we need to create a new Company/Site. We will be migrating from our current India site into the new site. As we work through all transactions, we have an issue regarding our open inter-site Purchase Orders > Customer Orders.Specifically:We have Inter site Purchase Orders (our India site 1300) to one of our internal Supplier: 10 where the connected Customer Order is on Site 10.When we migrate the Purchase Orders (from site 1300 to the new site with India Get: 1301) we are looking for a way/best practice to reconnect them to the existing Customer Orders in Site 10.Product Version: Cloud 24.2.6We have close to 4,000 open Inter-Site PO Lines that will need to be migrated to the new site. And are looking for the best way to update all of them in mass.

Since the Target Date follows the received Wanted Delivery Date, the original customer requested delivery date is no longer visible on the supply site order.The original customer Wanted Delivery Date is an important reference point for planning. Even when internal planning dates change, visibility of the customer's original requested date helps the planning team understand the customer's expectation and work towards delivering as close to that date as possible.

■BackgroundI understand that, when using DDMRP, users need to define their own values for the Lead Time Category and Variability Category.To optimize inventory levels, we would like to set appropriate values for the Lead Time Category and Variability Category. What criteria or methodology should be used to determine these values?For context, we are considering using DDMRP for the procurement of purchased items, rather than for manufactured items.■QuestionWhen using DDMRP, how should the Lead Time Category and Variability Category be determined?

In Apps 10, which mechanism allows the Planned Delivery Date to remain fixed while the Planned Receipt Date is recalculated forward when the Mode of Delivery is changed on the PO line?

Hi,  When we enable M102 - Pre accounting Purch Order Part Lines posting control for a particular code part on IFS with control type C58 - Mandatory Pre Posting, I expected the system to trigger a pop up at the point of saving the Purchase Order Lines to enter the pre postings. In my case, this did not happen, it worked as expected when the M108 - Pre accounting Purch Order No Part Lines is defined as mandatory - where at the point of saving a no part order line the system triggers the pop up window to define the pre postings. Can I know the reason behind this difference in behavior is and if there is anything additional that needs to be done to achieve similar behavior as the no part order lines instance. Thank you.  Best RegardsAkila

HI all,We’re trying to get a list of deleted customer order lines (Not cancelled) on IFS. Is there a report on IFS that has this info?Also is it possible to stop users deleting order lines (remove delete functionality) and instead just cancelling them?We are on IFS Cloud.

Dear Community, How can we change the settings so that in the event of any modification to the price of the purchase order, approvals must be taken again, because at the present time on the existing options, the price on the order may be successfully modified with the same old approvals.the screenshot below shows the current setup.  Regards

Are business users do not like the new toggle at the top of many screens such as the Change Request that says, “Show only current results”.  They have asked for this toggle to be turned off by default.I haven’t been able to find a way to turn it off by default via a setting. I am plying with an alternative solution to the Toggle being set to on for a given page.It appears by creating a custom menu to navigate to a Internal page I can control the parameter.This is the text of the Page URL used:  page/ChangeRequests/List;usedefaultfilter=false  My big question is what is the downside of this option.  Are there permission issues I am not thinking of will future updates break what we have done here? Thoughts are appreciated.

In IFS Cloud (and Apps10) a User that creates a Rental Part Requisition Line, cannot manually amend the Price. Users can amend the Requisition Price for a Part Requisition Line, but NOT for a Rental Part Requisition Line. Where companies have their DOA established at Purchase Requisition stage via Purchase Requisition Authorisation Rules, there is not way for a User to amend the Rental Price without going through the longer RFOQ process. If prices fluctuate for Rent In Parts and the SFPP record(s) cannot be easily maintained across a number of Suppliers for the Purchase Part, then a User is forced to either have the PR Rental Line authorised at the wrong value, or go through the RFOQ process which is too long when a only a simple price amendment prior to Authorisation is required. The Rental Price CAN be amended at Purchase Order Stage so this feels like an oversight. It prevents companies having a robust Authorisation processes for Rent In Parts and can result in DOA’s being bypassed.
