Supply Chain

HelloWe are using Apps 10.  We have had several instances of shop order requisitions that are fixed inside the Planning Time Fence disappearing one day and then, once MS is re calculated (normally a schedule overnight job) MS supply then pops up outside of the PTF to ‘correct' it, often that is leaving us with gaps in the production plan and also gaps in supply because of it. Is this a bug? Is it because they aren’t being converted to shop orders quick enough?  

Hi All Good Day to you,Currently we are working on an integration with Salesforce and Web shop for a customer on sales quotations and customer orders. There is a requirement for the customer where IFS needs to provide the other systems with information from IFS regarding Tax, Delivery Date (ATP), Export Control and Freight Cost. They want to be able to get these calculations from IFS without a Sales Quote or Customer Order being created (these are created at this stage in Salesforce or the Web Shop). At the moment customer is not using IFS Sales Quotations.Has any one of you come across similar scenario before where there is no Sales Quote or Customer Order yet in IFS but we provide the other systems with the calculations/information in the different areas? This can be a respond that IFS has to send to the other system based on parameters requested by the other system.Thanks in Advance.Maneesha.

HelloIs it possible to have the Planner added to the options when we Calculate MS level 1 Part? Instead of just being at site level or being able to filter on a selection of a few parts?A bit like when we Perform Site MRP we can select Planner?ThanksAbi

What is the best way to go about offering a “full line” discount on all items in our catalog?  We are wanting to offer a 3% “across the board” discount as a trade show discount but I am having trouble setting it up as a campaign.  The only option appears to be adding every sales part (over 600 so not a great option) or setting it up as a short term customer agreement and adding all of the sales groups.  Is there an easier way that I am missing?   We are on IFS Cloud 23R2 if that matters/helps.

Hi,We’ve recently upgraded from App8 to App10 UPD16 and are having issues with weights and volumes on our customer order lines.  Our Max Capacity tab on part catalog contains two handling units, one for PALLET category and one for PACKAGE category.  The order lines keep using the PALLET weight and volume instead of the PACKAGE weight and volume.  How can we define this to work on our customer orders?

Hi all,We use the Sales Quotations Overview in IFSAPP10 to distribute Sales Quotations to our sales personnel.One thing that we’ve noticed is that the coordinator (AUTHORIZE_CODE) is not editable from the list view, meaning we have to enter every sales quotation manually to change the “handler”.In the customer order overview, this field is editable, it has the Client Field Flags:    FIELD_Update, which SQ-list does not.Does any of you have a good solution to this, or working in another way to achieve the same result?Have you found another way in IFS Cloud?Or, should this simply be part of IFS standard code?Best regards

HI we are creating customer orders for direct delivery from our supplier.   For example Customer order lines x 3 created, all from the same supplier.  When we release the Customer Order it is creating 3 separate Purchase requisitions when we would only want 1 PR for the 3 lines.  Am i missing a setting somewhere.  Looking at the Supplier 4 Purchase, purchase part, inventory part there is not any obvious difference.  thanks 

hi IFS colleagues, :)I’m having an issue in doing the Deliver of the Shipment, error below, Portugual localization: does anyone had this error? and how solved? thanks a lot, 

Our supply chain group has found a use for adding lines to favorites in cloud.On the customer order lines overview, they are favoriting lines and when they go to the order detail, the hearts will show as filled in for lines that they’ve already touched. They use this to keep track of lines they’ve touched and lines they still need to touch to make changes. We have orders that have a lot of lines so they’ve found this very useful to keep track of lines they’ve touched. This favorites logic doesn’t apply to the purchase order lines overview page. When we add favorites to the purchase order lines and we go to details, you can’t see the favorites. It’s like the favorites don’t follow over to the purchase order. Does anyone know why this is? In my mind, it’s probably because the purchase order lines overview is a different view than the purchase order lines on the form. Purchase order lines overview combines part and no part lines but still, you’d think that if we favorited a line in this o

Hi, Why SHIPMENT ID doesn’t appear ?  

How to setup this type of Purchase Authorization  

Hello, I am looking into the Export control. As I remember in App9 or App10 version when I am trying to set up export control for Customer orders (Inventory Part type purchase) when connecting the license I had to create a supplier for purchase part and define the export control codes in there.In App9, in the connection log it shows the user that you need to create supplier for purchase part and define those export control basic data if you haven’t defined them. And in that version both Part catalog export control data and supplier for purchase part export control data required in order to fully connect the license.But in Cloud 23R1 version, even when I didn’t define any supplier for purchase part export control data, system allows me to connect the master part export control type and approve the entire license. In previous versions if we only connect one it appeared as “Partially connected”. Did something changed after moving to cloud? I assumed since my sales part type is purchased s

What business process generates the inventory transaction DELCONF-IN?

One of our customers makes the delivery more products from one of Customer Order. The deliveries are performed from more supply countries. In each of the countries, the customer is VAT registered.Change of the supply country is needed to be performed after the Customer Order creation. It’s not known in advance.How to set up the Customer Order to be able the following invoices will have a different VAT ID, according to the supply country? In the standard, as I know, is possible to specify the supply country just on the Customer Order Header. Can anybody have the experience with them? Thank you for the help in advance.Pavel

Shipment order was introduced in IFS Cloud and our customers so far are seeing some great benefits.  However we are currently discussing with a large rental asset supplier who want to be able to trigger a move from the existing customer location to the new customer location. The enhancement request is ; Add “Location” as a parameter for sending and receiving parties. Currently on creation of a shipment order only site or remote warehouse can be selected. This would also solve an issue with reverse logistics as IFS has no way of creating ‘pick-up’ type shipment orders which does impact a number of our customers

Hi,  Has anyone seen the below error message? One of our users has experienced this but I am unable to recreate this scenario.  I have added up to 10 replacement parts, .e.g. Part A replaced by Part B, Part B replaced by Part C but still haven’t been able to determine the tipping point.  Thanks in advance 

We have a customer order where the line was originally setup with Supply code  Purch Order Trans.The part was received from the supplier and booked in but later returned to them for credit after failing inspection.The part has been shipped back to the supplier for credit with no replacement order.However we now cannot unpeg the Customer order Line connected to this or changed the line status to cancel. How can we cancel this line and allow the overall order to then be completed?  No option to unpeg  

Good Morning,Looking for some information relating to configured parts. Especially around unconfigured Customer Order Lines.If I create a customer order line for a configured part(supply SO), however I haven't configured this yet, how does the planning aspects see the components?CO header is still planned.Thanks,Jamie

How do I add multiple lines to a Purchase Order created from a Distribution Order in APPS9? 

In APPS 10 IEE, if you have a Purchase Order with multiple lines on a single supplier, and need to have multiple lines pegged to each other as the supplier needs to use 2 of the parts on the order to manufacture a third part, can you peg the lines together. I can peg shop orders together, shop orders to purchase orders and purchase orders to shop orders, but can’t find a way of pegging either one purchase order to another purchase order, or in this example trying to peg one line from a purchase order to a different line on the same purchase order. If it’s  not possible in APPS 10 is there another way of doing this 

Within the Advanced Planning Board in APPS10 IEE there are multiple sorting options to allow you to change the sequence in which SHOP ORDERS are displayed in the GANTT Chart, but none of them appear to be working. We have set up a new Shop Order Priority Category in an attempt to be able to use the “Sort by Precedence” Option in the APB GANTT Chart when Shop Orders are displayed so that those the new Priority Category set for them will be displayed at the top of the list of orders. However clicking of the “Sort by Precedence” option in the RMC display list has no impact whatsoever on the sequence in which the Shop Orders are displayed “in fact none of the 4 “Sort by” options have any impact at all on the sequence.Is there a setting anywhere in the Advanced Planning Board, or in Shop Orders in IFS APPS that needs to be enabled / have specific values set for it, to enable these Sort Functions to work 

Does anyone have any additional information regarding the Freight Booking Integration vs the Freight Integration?From my experience, the Freight Integration has been available since 21RX and requires integration specifically with 3rd party broker PaceJet.As of 23R1, I see functionality referring to the Freight Booking Integration.  It appears this may be related to the Freight functionality available in previous IFS versions (Apps 9/10, etc.)What are the intended differences between these offerings?  

23.1.4.Sales Part 123 with Supply Code = Shop Order.Inventory Part 123 shows Mfg Lead Time = 7 and Expected Lead Time = 7.Fixed and Variable Lead Times by Hour = 0.Zero on hand inventory.Distribution Calendar = 5 day M-F.Picking Lead Time = 2.Today is 10/17/23.Enter a customer order line with a Wanted Delivery Date = 10/18/23.Availability Check returns “The due date is earlier than today’s date. Earliest possible delivery date is 2023-10-31.”But, the dates on the customer order line do not change. Wanted Delivery/Target/Planned Delivery/Planned Ship dates remain 10/18/23.Is this standard behavior with Supply Code of Shop Order?
