Specific cost for purchase part

Hi all.I have a customer that wants to apply a specific cost (overhead) in some purchase parts. The inventory value method for those parts is “Weighted Average”.For the moment the solution proposed is to create a purchase charge as “unit charge”......and add this charge to Supplier for Purchase Part.  On this way, I met the customer requeriment. But now, the customer needs to know, when he consults the cost of the purchase part, how much amount come from the supplier fee (price) and how much from the charge. This allows him to compare the previous year's costs with those of the current year.Is there a window or transaction where I can check the cost separately? I checked the Inventory Transaction History window, but for each receipt I have one line (Posting event: ARRVAL) for supplier’s fee and another (Posting event: ARRCHG) for the sum of every charge I have in the purchase order (for example, a transport charge plus my overhead), and this is not valid for my customer.Any solution to

Using SPC charts

Is it possible for IFS to flag up if a Quality control analysis result will be “out of control” in the SPC chart? Currently it will flag up if you are out of spec only. We want some warning if it will be out of control

How to capture demand for component part with part status that does not allow demand?

Our scenario is like below example.Manufactured top level part number “10”. Consists of semi-finished manufactured part “20” that consists of purchased component “30”. MRP is used to explode demand.Part status used:Part No 10: A (Demands Allowed) Part No 20: E (Demands Not Allowed) Part No 30: A (Demands Allowed)I can register demand on Part No. 10 (as expected). I have nothing in stock and MRP will create a SO requisition for Part No. 10.When I try to create SO from req., system will present an error message “Demand for shop material allocation part not allowed…”. This is fine and logical but, in our scenario, too late!We need an early warning that we will run in to this problem before we try to create a shop order. It could e.g. be that part No. 30 is out of stock and has a long lead time.I have tried MRP action proposals, MRP background job log and Inventory part availability exceptions. Since demand is not allowed for Part No. 20 it will be ignored and not present any messages. Sam

Daily Master Schedule Tasks

Hi All, We have been live in IFS for four months now and we use the demand planning module to load a unit forecast into monthly buckets. We have 900 active MS Level 1 Parts that 3 planners are responsible for monitoring, these are broken out into multiple different planner codes. We don’t have a traditional “Master Scheduler” and would like to know what other users do on a daily basis in regard to the Master Scheduler Lobby, the MS Action Messages and anything else other users find helpful with this specific subset of parts. Myself and the other 2 planners I work with have never been a Master Scheduler, we understand how it behaves and have not had any delays or misfires with the master scheduled items in regard to customer shipments since we went live in IFS. Essentially what does a master scheduler do day-to-day in IFS?? Are there any best practices?We run MRP nightly and we update all MS Level 1 parts monthly, the changes month over month are minimal - a monthly forecast might chang

Attach Reserved Parts to a Handling Unit

Hi,We’re stumbling upon an issue where the benefit we see in using Handling Units is not in reach.The use case is that we manufacture many small parts on different Shop Orders, these parts are engineered-to-order and therefore manufactured via DOP and automatically Pegged to the Top Level in the DOP Header. This results in automatically Reserved Qty as of Shop Order Receipt of these small parts.The issue we’re facing is that these parts can be up towards 100 different part numbers which we then want to attach to a Handling Unit for efficient inventory movement, but this is not possible without unreserving these parts.Neither is it possible to connect the same Handling Unit to multiple different Shop Orders, to receive them onto the connected Handling Unit.Any proposals on how to solve this issue, preferably with core functionality or configurations are highly appreciated.Thanks,Alexander

Part Characteristics vs Assortments

Interested to hear how others have handled a requirement for a hierarchical sales part catalog that allows individuals entering Customer Orders to easily search for and bulk add parts.It seems like Assortments offer the most out of the box functionality as they allow for a hierarchy and if you’re using the Quick Customer Order registration, you can add parts via an Assortment as well as a specific node.Part Characteristics seems like a ‘simpler’ option, but there is no way to bulk add parts based upon characteristics a user has searched for.

Receive PO with Charges

Hi,We are facing a weird behavior when we’re trying to receive one Purchase Orde Line partially.we have 1 Purchase Order with 1 line (quantity = 10000 UN)Step by step example:Add 1 Charge on Charges tab with Charge Price = 100 Receive into Inventory 1000 UN (partial receive) on Inventory Transactions History, this first transaction (ARRIVAL) was impacted by Arrival charges (until now everything seems fine) add a second charge with Charge Price = 50  Receive into Inventory 1000 UN (second receive) on Inventory Transactions History for this second transaction we cannot see anything related to charges. then we made a Manual Supplier Invoice for thar charge to see what will happen, and the transaction impacted was the first one and not the second (as expected).Anyone with the same problem/question? Thanks,Joao

RMA and customer owned

Hi I want to return a part from a customer order.I use the RMA process but I can’t receive the part in “Customer owned” only in company owned.It’s not logical because when you return the part and when you receive it the part belongs to the customer not us.I can’t use the CRO process because I have an intercompany flow and the CRO is not adapted with this process.Is there another way ?It’s very urgent Thanks  BR Christèle

Possibility to use two bins for one pallet

Hello all,I cannot see any simple solution too this issue or if it is even possible. The situation is this. If we look at the images, we can see three rows and four tiers between the blue beams. This equals to twelve bins. The problem here is that some pallets are wider than one bin and needs two bins. Borrowing  the bin from the next row and tier. This I don’t believe is possible for IFS.An idea we had was, can it be possible if you make one row between the blue beams, instead of three? Any idea is much appreciated or if you know for a fact that it is not possible. I will try to answer follow up questions should you have any. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Material Requisition Cannot be Closed

Test PlanCreated and released 2 Material Requisition lines for 2 different Purchase Parts on the same MR.  RMB on each of the above lines show that 2 Purchase Requisitions created respectively. [No Project connection] Both the PRs processed and converted to the Pos. Out of the two, only one PO is received and closed. After issuing the materials of the relevant line of that PO, the MR header is in ‘Partially Delivered’ state Now the user cancels the other PO and selects ‘No’ to the question to reopen PR lines. So the PR remains in the closed state Now how shall I close the MR?The user actually changed the Due Qty to zero on the MR line and tried to remove the line. But it gives the following message.“The Material Requisition Line Demand “1” is used by 1 rows in another object (Material Requisition Purchase Order) IFS App9 UPD14IFS Support Case ID CS0109018

PO Delivery address - Kanban

Hi Community,I’m exploring a bit with the Kanban functionality and are currently having two Kanban Circuits for the same part number triggering PO’s to external suppliers. If possible I would like to have different delivery address (different drop of gates) on the PO depending on which circuit/location that triggered the PO. The locations are in different warehouses and if it would help I can schedule two jobs one for each circuit, by that I can have two different coordinators.I would appreciate any input.Thank you!BR Marcus
