A producing company assemble large units that are serial trackedThe unit is dis-assembled after finalized quality control and testing and stored in different locations and on different pallets. Challanges to be solvedKeep track of the completet unit as it is one serial no, when splitted in reality, to multiple locations The serial No cannot be splitted in inventory and placed system vice in different location, further more, no inventory movement kan be done per pallet. In shipment you cannot handle the pallets as you must have a qty in each pallet, in this case you have several pallets in reality but as it is one serial no, the qty can only be in one of the pallets. Following information about content, weight etc needed for transport booking. Yes, you can have a shipment and not add handling units but the company has a mix of products, large units packed on different pallets and in same shipment to the customer normal handl

Hi,How is it possible to send a purchase order in csv format to the supplyer of the purchase order when i am printing the purchase order ? 

Hi,We are using APPS10 and would like to know whether it is possible to replicate a document text from the Customer Order header to the Shipment header, so that it can be printed on the Shipment Delivery Note.The customer has the setting “Replicate Doc Text” enabled. We have tested adding document text to the Customer Order header, but it does not appear on the Delivery Note. However, when we add the document text at the Customer Order line level, it is successfully replicated and printed at the Delivery Note line level.Is there a way to have the document text from the Customer Order header replicated to the Shipment header and printed on the Delivery Note?

Is it possible to automatically uncheck the 'Release for material Planning' checkbox by default while adding the Customer order lines?It is required because Purchase Requisition (demand) is generated automatically on Supply Site when CO header is in status Planned for the added line level when supply code is selected as “Int Purch Dir”. or Can we make a tick mark or check the “Release for Material Planning” checkbox after releasing the Customer order no matter which supply code is chosen.So kindly suggest? 

Hello,Kindly help me with below issue.After deletion of Purchase grp , what are the activities impacted in procurement process ?Thanks in advance. 

HiI have set up internal trade between to sites within the same company, and this is running in our production database. We did a copy of PROD to TEST-environment late last year, but internal trade doesn not seem to work - the connectivity setup is the same, set to ON and the processes are running in Database processes, but the message that is created in the OUT-messagebox only gets status Released, not Accepted - as we get in PROD-environment. And the message is not transferred to IN-messagebox. So this is the purchase order which is sent and should create a customer order on the receiving site. Is there any other processes or queues or technical setup that could be set to OFF when doing a copy of the database like this?As i said - all connetivity setup and customer/supplier setup is correct as it is running in PROD.Best regardsSonja Berg

I would expect it to to be possible to deactivate or hide handling unit types that are no longer in use, but that does not seem to be a choice: Anyone know how to do this? 

I can’t seem to get the capability check to consider excess supply (a purchase order) during its calculation. I have a [level 2] purchased component that is included within the critical path determined by the capability check. I then created a PO for this part to arrive in tomorrow. When I re-ran the capability check it does not considering this purchase order. It is using the lead time of the this purchase part, even though we have “excess supply” arriving tomorrow. I have tested using both Inventory Part settings DOP Netting = “Netting” and “Auto Netting”. Neither setting for my purchase component is correctly netting against the PO. I also tried applying these setting for all parts in the multi-level structure. The capability check still was not netting against the excess supply / PO. IFS documentation states the netting applies to both excess inventory and excess supply quantities. Does this hold true for DOP Netting and Capability Check Netting? Is there an

Hello everyone,I am encountering an issue with an inter-company subcontracting flow between two internal sites (Site 0175 and Site 0210) using the "Customer Order" component method.Context & Setup: Site 0175 (Internal Customer) orders Part AB from Site 0210 (Internal Supplier). Purchase Component Method: Set to "Customer Order". Product Structure: Part AB is a Purchase structure containing components A and B. Message Setup: MHS flow is active for both sites (ORDERS, DESADV, etc.).The Flow: Site 0175 releases a Purchase Order (P330) for Part AB. This automatically generates a Component Customer Order (P227) on Site 0175 to ship components A & B to the supplier (Site 0210).

We are trying to determine if there is a way to see what line items were included in a specific delivery note.  When we deliver lines and go thru the order process, it creates a delivery note but it shows all lines on the order in the delivery note screen.  We need to tie a line to a delivery note.  Is this possible?

We received a weighted average costed part with a Supplier Invoice Consideration that is Transaction Based.  The wrong price was on the original PO and we sold the parts to a customer.  The Detailed Statistics screen is showing the sale price with the wrong cost field.  The PO cost was updated and the supplier invoice was posted and processed to reflect the change in price.  On the Inventory Transaction page, we can see the change in the costs and the appropriate accounting entries to reflect the change in the Cost of Good Sold account.  However, we run the Detailed Statistics nightly, and the invoice in question, has not had the cost updated as reflected in the journal entry.  Is there something we can do to update the Detail Statistics - Invoiced Sales data.  We export this data into a Power BI data warehouse to run reports and this one is not reflected correctly.

HI In Page Designer, there are missing fields that I need to add, which are located in the Purchase_part table and PurchasePart entity. How do I do this? KR

In the IFS Product documentation, it is stated that the general rating for the supplier will be generated and updated based on the outcome of the selected evaluation. In other words, the overall score obtained from the evaluation will correspond to a specific rating that will be assigned to the supplier.  Note that it mentions “the selected” evaluation but does not indicate how an evaluation can be selected. I have done the rating and evaluation value mapping in the Supplier Rating screen. Then I have done a Supplier Peformance Evaluation and published it after the results were generated. But the Supplier’s SRM tab does not reflect the general rating based on the mappings defined in Supplier Rating. Am I missing something? TIA

We are using IFS Applications 10 with Approval Templates for Purchase Orders. I would like to understand how an approval decision can be revoked once an approver has already taken a decision.In our approval setup, there are multiple approval steps. When one of the approvers rejects the Purchase Order, we correct the issue or query in the PO and attempt to resend the approval. Although the system allows us to add another approval step, the previously rejected step remains locked, and the same approver is not allowed to take a new decision. please clarify whether it is possible to fully restart the approval process after a rejection so that all approvers, including the one who rejected earlier, can approve again? If this is not possible, please confirm the standard and recommended approach in IFS Applications 10 for handling such scenarios.

Hello.My understanding isthat the Promised Delivery Date on a Customer Order Line should stay as is if the order/line is confirmed.I have created this order and confirmed.I then change the target date to 08/06/2026, I expected the Planned Delivery Date and the Planned Ship Date to align, however expected the Promised Delivery Date to be kept. Is my understanding wrong?

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

Hi,We are currently working in IFS Cloud 25R1.Currently, you are able to ‘refill all putaway zones’ at a remote warehouse via shipment order. Every time this action is performed, the site that is connected to the RWH will be used as sender. Now, we want to use shipment orders to perform the ‘refill all putaway zones’ of a RWH, but preferabaly with another RWH as sender.  Is there any possibilty to manage this without any configurations? Many thanks! Roy

Why would a company like IFS think that its not important to be able to go back in time and look at what a particular value was as of a prior date.  How can you manage a company without a days on hand inventory report.  Which you cannot get unless useless fields are filled out.  Simply idiotic and poor creation of an EDP system.  In addition, people make mistakes, they hit the wrong key, and yet for some transactions in IFS you cannot reverse what someone did, further complicating everyone’s life.  It actually takes a coding change to be able to “unlock” inventory from a Distribution Order that has gone awry.  No system is perfect, but this is worse than bad.  Our entire company is regretting going to IFS at this point.  My question is when will developers at IFS decide to make a system that actually does what a basic business needs.  Stop complicating the system, and install basic functions that are easy to use for 5th graders.

Hello,I am not sure which sub forum to put this question in, originally, I had asked it in Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM).Availability Check Calculation - Requisition and Planned Demand Included | IFS CommunityI have a question regarding the Availability Check function and what it does and does not include.I am currently working in version 9 and currently using the CO Plannable field in Inventory Part Availability Planning to confirm what is included in the check.From what I can determine, requisitions and MRP planned supply/demand do not factor. This is understandable as they are not firm-enough to be considered. Shop Orders in a planned state will count as plannable supply, but the components of the shop order do not count as p

Supplier log on Supply portal to confirm POeg: PO#001/Line1/Rel 1 -  PO qty =3000, with wanted delivery date 4/1/2022, from supplier side, they only can 1000 on 4/1/2022, 2000 on 4/15/2022, the expected result is,  when supplier change PO qty to 1000 and write down date as 4/1/2022 in PO#001/line1/rel 1, then another PO line with same PO#001/Line1/rel2  will be popped up with PO Qty=2000 (the rest of 3000 after 4/1/2022, price and other message is the same as original PO status), then supplier write down date as 4/15/2022. how to make this happen?please adviceThanks
