Supply Chain

how IFS Cloud handles Customer Orders (CO) linked to External Projects? In Apps 10, the system allowed pre-posting without needing a Project Activity, but in IFS Cloud, it now enforces that an External Project must have a Project Activity before allowing pre-posting? Thank you.

We have one site that receives and manufactures on Monday - Thursday, but we ship Monday - Friday. We had to set the Manufacturing Calendar M - F so we could get Need Dates on Friday (all work center calendars M - Th). We tried setting the site distribution calendar M - Th and set a delivery route on all customers for M - F but that didn’t work. All of our suppliers/customers are shared among multiple sites and our other sites do receive on Friday. Not sure if this is something for supply chain matrix for site, but looks like you have to do all suppliers and supplier addresses individually with other mandatory fields like lead times we don’t care to set there. Any ideas would be super helpful.

Hello, just in the process of testing the RMA function and can’t seem to see an option to return to stock (which is what physically happens), have I not set something up in the background correctly? I’m logged in as IFSAPP so shouldn’t be a permission issue. Please see screen shot below. 

Hello,We have an external system for purchasing some consumables thats delivered by our supplier.This is user friendly and appreciated by our users.But of course because it’s external we do not have purchase orders in IFS as we would like to have for better spend analysis etc..and also to be able to match the invoice that arrives from the supplier.We are thinking about an integration that creates the purchase order based on what our supplier buys in the external tool.  What technology in IFS should you use to manage that?  In this case punch out is not an option for us.  Thanks for advance, any input is appreciated.// Johan

Hi,I’m getting below standard IFS error when trying to receive one PO"This Purchase Order is associated to one or more Purchase Order Change Order(s). When using Purchase Order Change Orders, all changes needs to be registered on the Change Order and it is not allowed to register changes directly on the Purchase Order."Does anyone have an idea of what could be the reason for this?  Thank You! 

Hello,    Currently have a customer that creates a handful of OEM parts designated for key customers, and do not want those parts to be available to their other customers.             I’ve been able to create multiple assortments and when creating a CO, the system will only pull in the parts that are assigned to that customer.  However, if I create a sales quotation the system will allow me to pull in all parts vs just the ones assigned to that specific customer             I attempted to convert the sales quote into an order and the system will throw an error message that those parts are not assigned to to those customers, so that part works however customer does not want to mistakenly quote certain parts.             Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated Thank you,Joe

Our Finance Team (in Viet Nam) has a request to edit Tax Code in Purchase Order Lines and they need to perform this change without creating a Change Order.The main reason is due to government regulations changes from time to time, so they need flexibility to edit Tax Codes in Purchase Order Lines. We have done some internal investigations and noticed that “Planned Delivery Date” can be changed even after Purchase Order Lines have been authorized but Tax Codes cannot be changed without creating Change Orders.Does anyone know a valid reason for this? Thank you 

We have several companies in our instance that use different accounting calendars.  IFS only seems to allow one set of Statistic Periods.  I was wondering how other companies handled that 

Hi all, I have a service contract connected to a work order. That service contract has an invoice type “fixed price” that means that every material issued or time reported will not be invoiced on the customer invoice but because they are costs of the work order the lines exists in the tab “sales” on the work order. Our client doesn’t want the lines with 0€ price to appear on the customer order or customer invoice. There is an option to do this, as in the following picture:  But the client wasn’t 100% satisfied because they can have multiple lines and multiple work orders in a month to do this. I would like to know if anyone knows a better option that allows us to define that when we have a line that the cost will not be invoiced to the client this line will not appear on the customer order

This is about customer return of goods in a multisite order flow between two different companies.My customer is on IFS Application 10 Upd.11.The starting point is: A Customer Order is created with customer EXT in Company A and site A with direct delivery to the customer EXT from Company B and site B.The customer order is fully delivered and invoiced, both to the customer EXT and the internal customer A. The delivery of the customer order line from company B on site B is delivered in two different shipments and handling units. This means, there are two different DIRDEL messages sent to the connected purchase order on company A (site A) and results in two different purchase order receipts for the purchase order line.The next step is to create an RMA from the Customer Order on Company A and site A. All quantity on the order line shall be returned.In the RMA created on site A, the returning supplier will be company B, and the returning site will be Sit

Hello IFS Community,I am experiencing an issue with the Perform Site MRP process. Specifically, the step 'Site 01 removal of MRP distribution orders started at 20250219 18:18:14.' which normally takes less than 30 seconds to complete, has been taking up to 30 minutes today. I am unable to understand why this is happening.Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Any suggestions on what to look for or how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards,Marcus IFS Cloud 23R2 SU10

I created an event action to trigger after the final PO authorization step is completed. The event action should update the Purchase Order state from Planned to Released using Purchase_Order_API.Release_Order. The API is called but it  does not update the status. However I am able to get the PO status to update to Released if I revoke the Authorization step. Is there something blocking the PO to be Released when the final step is Authorized?

Is there any documentation for IFS Cloud Subcontracting which explains the overall process where subcontracting is connecting to Projects and Procurement. Thanks

24R2.  I have a Shipment that resulted from one Shipment Order where both Sender and Receiver of Type = Site.  I used the Create Consolidated Pick List for Shipment process to try to create pick lists by Storage Zone.  It does not create any pick lists, but the background process also does not fail.  If I use Customer Order instead of Shipment Order, same lines, same process, the pick lists are created.

Hello!My customer is looking for a more efficient way to search for parts within the assortment and perform mass updates. Today they are searching for the parts by Parts by assortment to find the parts and get the Assortment node. Then they copy the Assortment nodes and use them in Assortment attributes and from this view they can perform mass updates. Although there is a limit here for data and change without getting a time out.   I would like to know how others work with assortment and mass updates, I have limited knowledge in this area and I can´t find any documentation :) Thanks! BREmma
