Supply Chain

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?

Hi Team, Client requirement is to use Planning Method-B for automatic replenishment of inventory.Please find the query below:Lets say, an inventory part (Purchased Part Type) is stored in a Warehouse having multiple Bins.Now during auto replenishment, how system will identify automatically which is the correct Bin to refill as Warehouse contains multiple Bins?By any chance, can the same be reflected during Register Arrivals process?Do we need to do any specific setup for it?@Thilini Wijesinghe Any inputs on this?Best Regards,Rakesh

How can I find a list of all the suppliers that have active payment terms? Thank you in advance.

Hello Due to various complexities, we can't currently use CRO. So, when a Customer needs to return their kit for (e.g.) repair, we use non-inventory lines, but we then have nothing to ship, when the Customer wants their kit back. One of our consultants suggested using Non-Inventory Sales Part with category “Goods” for this purpose, but I can’t make them deliverable either. Does anyone have experience of this? 

Hiya,We use Quick customer order registration as our main way to input orders into IFS Cloud (22R2U18). We have added ‘Customer PO Ref’ as a mandatory field for our operatives. We need to perform a duplicate check on the above field with a custom event to fire a warning should a duplicate order reference be added for the customer.Not sure where to start really. - Any help or guidance greatly appreciated

We have come across the above requirement from our recent customers implementing IFS Cloud. The requirement in detail is the ability to add Authorization Type = Position into Authorization Groups and not just individual authorizers as per the current functionality. Although IFS has the ability to incorporate positions into purchase authorization, in the current functionality, a position is only possible to be included in an Authorization Routing Template as a Step where only that position is able to be added but not several within one Step.The reasons for this requirement are that,The maintenance cost of Authorization Groups with individuals is high specially when it comes to a large organization with many divisions/departments with many personnel with authority to approve purchases. Whenever a person leaves or joins the company, the relevant groups need to be updated.  Several different positions should be eligible to authorize the purchase and not one. Ex: Either any Supervisor or an

There was a topic previously discussed regarding Inter-site Direct Deliveries.  Part of the answer was that by using the ‘Int Purch Dir’ at the external customer order line, it creates a Purchase Order on the Demand Site (Site A in this case), and a Customer Order on the Supply Site (Site B in this case) to be delivered to the customer directly. Once done go to ‘Register Direct Delivery’ and search for internal PO number there. Once you complete with register direct delivery, Internal PO will be closed, and the External customer order will be able to be Invoiced / Closed. However, we are finding situations where the connected Purchase Order is still in an arrived status and is not closed.  The items are showing shipped, arrived, and shipped on all the connected items, but the PO just remains open.  I don’t know if it is something that we need to change a setting on, or if we are doing something in error, but I am seeing that we have over 20,000 purchase order lines from one site to ano

Hi Team, We’re handling residual topics for our Client and had following investigations.Please find the different queries below :How to split a subcontracting order by transferring it to several suppliers ? How to duplicate a purchase requisition (e.g. a recurring requisition with many lines) Supplier delivery scheduleApply a delivery schedule to suppliers. This schedule is taken into account in the expression of requirements on DAs – Possible on Cloud ?Can they update SFPP (Supplier For Purchase Part) prices ? Is there a way to handle RFQs with a connection to specifications in Attachments.Naturally some of the above can easily be resolved through CRIM, but are they Standard processes to perform such questions ? Regards,Yannick 

Hello, For my supplier material, I want to define another alternate than the * alternate of my inventory part. How can I set this up?Thank you in advance.Lina

We have a CTO Part that is large and when completed will not fit onto a single mode of transportation.Can we, once received on the Shop Order, disassemble into shipping handling units (i.e.4) and then ship each of the shipping handling units as separate shipments with Customer Oder Quantity of 1 or how can we ship on four trucks at .25 for each shipment?Other suggestions?

Hi, We got few suppliers with delivery dates for specific days of week. Is it possible to set up IFS to create purchase order requisition only for specific days of week? So far I do not see that option in Cloud.  Thank you, Lukasz   

Hi Team, This is related to a warehouse which is set as a remote warehouse. in this there are 2 picking locations exists, one is 25DO and other is 25L. when we set the drop off location to 25DO and run the transport task, system is created a transport task but without considering the forward to location and when we execute this, new transport task line is not created automatically. And if we set the drop off location to 25L instead to 25DO, system is working as expected. When we create manual transport task, system is working as expected.Do anyone have any idea why this happened?    

This is about the supplier material for inter-site orders.Create a PO for part A from site A to site B.Part A has a supplier material B.If I make a shipment of Supplier items on the ‘Ship Supplier Material’ screen, how can I receive the supplier material at site B?It was not possible to do this on screen ‘Receive from Transit’.The supply method is Supplier material, not customer orders.

Tab named "All" in Inventory Part Availability Planning frame base on temporary table(INV_PART_AVAIL_SUM_QTY_TMP) which is created each time we ask frame to populate for some record(please find attachments ORDER_SUPP_DEM_EXT_TMP_VIEW.png and Inventory Part Availability Planning.png). There are several function which populate temporary tables(e.g.: IFSAPP.Order_Supply_Demand_API.Populate_Temporary_Tables__ ).We want to create report base on data from mentioned tab(Actual demand, Planned Demand, Supply, On Hand) and look for the best solution for this purpose(without customization). Does someone has any experience in this area?

Hi Community, I’ve got a customer who purchase serial tracked parts to a a supplier, to do so, he delivers to his supplier  manufactured serial tracked parts. When supplier delivers purchased parts, he gives for each delivered serial the list of components used Part & Serial (PN/SN). Is there any way to register this traceability structure in IFS Apps 10 ? At this time, the best I’m able to do is knowing on which PO the components were used (PN/SN), even if all parts are in multilevel tracking. NOTE : if possible, we would like not to use Shop Order with external work centers. Has anyone had an idea or a lead ? Thanks in advance, BR, Jean-Christophe
