Supply Chain

Hello,We are new IFS users, just started a month ago. Our sales is struggling how to have realistic lead time on sales quotations. How other users have solved this? We work in multisite environment - we have two manufacturing sites, which both store semifnished and finished parts (sales parts), and one warehousing site that just store sales parts. In addition we have sales offices. We have both make-to-order and make-to stock parts.They can use capability check in some cases but there are limitations.According to IFS documentation: ”To run capability check from Customer Order or Sales Quotation, the supply code must be Shop Order, DOP Order, Invent Order, Int Purch Trans or Int Purch Dir.If the supply code is Int Purch Trans or Int Purch Dir, then the sourcing option on the sales part at the supply site must be Shop Order, Inventory Order or DOP Order, and for sourcing option Shop Order the part must be of part type Manufactured.” Availability check is not possible on sales quotation.

Does anyone have step by step manual about Demand Planning. I’m confusing on how to select the most usable Forecast Models when try to work with IFS Cloud Demand Planning.Thank you so much!

It seems like Peppol Orders support attachment of binary includes, like PDF, etc. I cannot see any support for that when sending out Purchase Orders, etc. from IFS Cloud, or?Anyone, any comments on above? Are there any solution? Will it be added in future? Thanks,Fredrik

When attempting to delete a supplier with an existing object connection to an approval routing, the associated approval line remains in the system. Consequently, users cannot delete the workflow through the Approvals window. Steps to Recreate the Issue:01. Navigate to Object Connections and add an approval routing for 'SupplierInfoGeneral' Logical Unit. Go to the Supplier window, create a new supplier, and add a new approval setup. [Note: A new approval line will be created automatically.]02. Delete the newly created supplier.03. Navigate to the Approvals Window and approval line is still available. Can anyone please assist in finding the reason for this?

Hello everyone,I’m trying to use the REPLAN Customer Order Lines function in IFS Cloud, but my customer order lines are not being updated as expected. Here’s my scenario:Part setup: Inventory part, MRP planning, availability check enabled. Stock: No parts in stock. Supply: Purchase Order is planned and expected to arrive (see details below). Customer Order Line: Created and released, linked to the above part. When I run REPLAN CO LINE: The customer order line is not updated (planned delivery date does not change).Questions:Are there any specific settings or prerequisites I might be missing (e.g., supply code, sourcing rule, capability check, etc.)? No parts in stockPO planned to arrive as per below  Customer Order Line as MRP Planning  

Hello Folks ! Just wanted to share something I fixed recently with Incoming Customer Order in IFS Cloud 25R1.  We have been using the SalesMessageService API to create Incoming Customer orders for some time now.  We recently updated to 25R1 and noticed that the incoming customer order API broke. OverviewIf you’ve recently upgraded or considering upgrading to IFS Cloud 25R1 and use the SalesMessageService API for creating Incoming Customer Orders, this update may affect you. A field change in the order‐lines payload is causing deserialization errors. The Error You’ll See{  "error": {    "code": "ODP_DESERIALIZATION_ERROR",    "message": "Error while de-serializing contents.",    "details": [      {        "message": "Tree should be empty but still has content left: WantedDeliveryDate"      },      {        "code": "UNKNOWN_CONTENT",        "message": "'WantedDeliveryDate' can not be mapped as a property or an annotation."      }    ]  }} What Changed Element Before (Pre-25R1)

Two stage RFQ and Quotation available in IFS cloud? The two-stage RFQ process involves the submission by the suppliers of a technical quote and a commercial quote. The technical quotes are opened and evaluated first to determine a list of qualified suppliers, and only then are the commercial quotes of the qualified suppliers opened and evaluated.

We are currently using IFS Applications 10 (UDP 10), and we would like clarification on how to properly handle "Other Charges" such as Customs Duty that are invoiced by a different supplier than the one supplying the goods on the Purchase Order.Scenario:Goods are ordered from Supplier A via a standard Purchase Order.Customs Duty is incurred as an "Other Charge" on the PO.The duty is invoiced separately by Supplier B (e.g. a customs broker or freight forwarder).We want the customs cost to be included in inventory valuation and cost of goods, but the actual invoice is from a different supplier than on the PO.Questions:What is the recommended way in IFS Applications 10 to:Add such "Other Charges" to a PO?Ensure correct accounting and costing (including inventory value)?Book the customs invoice from Supplier B correctly?Is there a standard process or best practice for this scenario (e.g. use of manual supplier invoices, linking to posting control, or landed cost configuration)?

Does anything currently exist that allows two orders to be linked or associated. Currently we have multiple orders that are associated based on Customer, or work requirement and it would be advantageous to have something that allows us to see the orders together.

Good morning everybody,  I’m looking for a documentation how Customer Contacts and Communication Methods as well as Customer contact on Sales Address Information and Reference in Customer Sales are inherited to Customer Orders. Conditions, Priorities and intended use of the different possibilites are welcome as well. Thank you. Best regards, Rolf

Hello every body!There is a screen to check error but is necessary to enter one by one to analyse.Don´t see option to run the post tax documento after change the setup error.Is there a screen that help to handle this errors? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to set a ‘Message Setup’ by customer address instead of having it either by customer or by the company connected to the customer?Would like to do E-Invoicing based on the Document Address on the Customer Order. Sometimes the address is going to a country that doesn’t require E-Invoicing even for the same site.Is this possible now? I can’t seem to find a way in standard. Or is there a future enhancement for this scenario?

Hi All, How I can get assembly cost in IFS specially if  I want to get the assembly cost for a particular deliverable. I tried to check in cost/hour tab in deliverable but it is taking the cost from supplier for purchase part not from the PO for that particular deliverable.

Hi,We have upgraded to 25R1 SU3 last week and we can no longer pre-post our customers orders to accounting projects (financial project). IFS has introduced a bug fix SCZ 27798 and it is now mandatory to enter a project id (WBS project) in the customer order details tab if to want to entre pre-posting on the customer header.Has anybody else experienced this problem or can help us out ?Thanks and Regards,Anne-Sophie

I am trying to create a Demand & Supply chain table (in terms of SO/PO). A is my top level demand (final product) and requires various other supplies to manufacture this, I am wanting to see all the supplies (multi level) that goes into that demand. Example below, A requires, B,C,D but B/C/D requires other supplies to have them manufacture, think of main assembly (A) and sub-assemblies (B,C,D) until it reaches to RAW MATERIAL level.Does any thing such already exists in IFS Cloud if not, any ideas how can I tie it together through data base? Demand Order Supply Order A B A C A D B E, F C G D H E RAW MATERIAL F RAW MATERIAL G RAW MATERIAL H RAW MATERIAL

Hi,I try to setup an internal trade between company A & B where company A (site 1) is the buyer and company B (site 1) is the seller.  I can create purchase from A and send it to B but in Incoming customer orders there is something missing. I´ve seen in the community that this is a common error message and I´ve tried everything that was suggested but it is not picking up the customer. In the picture below I added customer manually but still gets an error message.   Is there some sort of check list on setting up internal trade as there are quite a lot to tweek to make it work :) Thanks! /Emma

We have Shipment Types on our Customer Orders set to NR for “at order release”. However, when releasing the CO, it is not creating a shipment ID. It also does not allow for a manual one to be made. Any reasons why this is happening?

If you use Pacejet, what did you do to substitute for the UPS End of Day Report?  My understanding is that Pacejet does not have a similar End of Day report.

Hi,Has anyone used the ECCN identifier in IFS?  Currently there doesn’t seem to be a place for this in the Item Master or other supporting tables.  If you have, how did you work around this?   We need to have it appear on certain outbound documents.

We have a case where we have forwarded the PO authorization to a person with lower Max Amount for PO. This person to is able to authorize even having that lover limit.Is it so that, if the original Authorization Step is assigned to Person A, he forwards the authorization to Person B, and Person B tries to Authorize. Then IFS checks the amount against the step in the Routing Template? That means, it still checks against Person A’s max amount and allow person B to do Authorize. 

Recently we encountered a strange error for a non inventory part which we used for a long time. We don’t know what has been modified in IFS for it to give this error:The supply code remains empty after I enter the non inventory part even though in the basic data it is set to Primary Supplier Direct.

I have a Purchased Part with Inventory Valuation Method set to Weighted Average (WA). It is also a Sales Part and the Company is set to Delay Cost of Good Sold to Delivery Confirmation.There is an existing quantity for this part with WA let’s say equal to 100 unit cost. I have created a customer order, reserved then delivered it. This created an inventory transaction history DELCONF-OU and DELCONF-IN with unit cost of 100. Before I execute a delivery confirmation, I created a new Purchase Order and changed the price to something that would change the WA. Received it into stock. WA has changed to for example 150 unit cost.Executed the CO Delivery Confirmation and it created a transaction DELIVCONF with unit cost 150. If I look at the overall postings for the CO, it is causing my GL Balance to have a balance for account in M1 posting type. Is this correct? Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Hi, all of you experts,I’m using IFS Cloud and I have a question related to multiple lines to be moved with transport task. When using move inventory with transport task from Inventory part in stock I would like to have a new transport task created for the picked lines.In my case the selected lines will be added to an already existing transport task which is not yet executed. Do I miss any setup?Best regards,Marita
