Supply Chain

Hello Community,I have a PO that has multiple lines on it. We have received several this year.Today when trying to receive my Inventory staff received the following error messages:“Field (LOT_BATCH_NO) is mandatory for Inventory Part in Stock and requires a value” followed by “A lot/batch number may not be entered for part”.Any advice on how to correct so the lot number can be entered? Thanks!Angie

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

Hi All, We have a client process where we are generating the purchase requisition through create order proposal with database schedule.Here, we system creates multiple PRs for each parts depending on the inventory part planning method demand when onhand qty falls below the lot size.We want to create only one single PR combining all the inventory parts in it.So, please let us know if there is any method to create a single PR containing all inventory parts.

Hello together, we have min/max stocked items as well as items that only need to be procured when needed.Could someone explain the difference between A and B again?Thank you for your help. 

Hello all,We’ve built intersite automated transaction, where we make customer orders using the supply code “Internal Purchase Direct”. This automatically creates the PO and the intersite Customer Order.Client order → Customer Order #1 → Purchare Order intersite (automated) → Customer Order #2 intersite (automated) → Pick from inventory and direct shipment to ClientThe issue we have is the intersite CO will show the delivery address of our own company (the company sending the intersite PO).Is there a way to program the intersite transaction in order for the end-user delivery address (entered at the Customer Order #1) to show in the Customer Order #2 page? At the moment, we have the address appearing in the delivery note and the packing list, but the customer service clerk processing the intersite customer order #2 would like to see the address before printing any documents.Thank you!

HiWe are upgrading from 22R2 to 23R2 and are currently testing the changes as they affect us.In 22R2 we do our customer returns successfully from the RMA screens but in 23R2 this has moved to the ‘register arrivals’ screen.  Typically for us an RMA will be for 1 item among the many delivered, not the whole order, and the item being returned will be on a project activity.If we use ‘receive with serial/lots’, then it works ok.  However, if we use ‘receive parts against order deliveries’ (which is preferable for these partial returns) we get an ‘inventory part does not exist’ error.  On investigation, it appears to be checking for the returned part in activity 0 rather than the activity it is actually being returned to.17:14:32 TRACE - DATABASE {"origin":"DB","indentation":"19","time":"224614507","category":"FRAMEWORK","level":"DEBUG","type":"Key values","text":"Site: GB01, Part No: ESR-48/56B F, Configuration ID: *, Location No: PICK, Lot/Batch No: *, S

In APPS10 Where did the Customer Delivery Tax Information Tax Regime field move to? 

Is it possible to undo a delivery for a customer order in cloud?

We purchase labels on a spool of 25,000.   Our supplier always adds an additional 500 labels (for good measure) to every spool but does not invoice us for these extra units.  When receiving in the spools, is there a way to automatically “count-in” the additional 500 units so that the quantity on our handling units reflects what is actually on the spools?  We don’t want to increase the quantity on our PO’s because we aren’t being invoiced for that full amount.  We’ve considered using the inventory conversion factor and updating it to 1.02 but our finance department is worried about UOM conversions/reports/accounting entries as well as audits.   

 Hi everyone,I use a shipment to support the creation of Shipment lines from a projetc deliverable.According to the standard, the lines are created on the most recently created expedition.Question 1 : do you have an idea of how we can be able to select the Shipment No we want to create the shipment lines on, from project Deliverable?To avoid this problem, we use the work around of reassigning line on another shipment after their creation. However, we face another problem : we are able to reassign lines only one by one.Question 2 : do you have an idea of how we can be able to Reassign shipment lines massively?If you met theses problems and find work arounds, create a BPA codes or a developpments, I am very interested.Many thanks

Hello, Since 2024, the flux intrastat with regime code 19 and 29 are needed to be valuated if the goods are exported for free.Today, those flux are considering at 0 as statistical value, and have to be changed by hand.The idea we got is, for the flux 29 (exportation), to automatically fill the “statistical value” of the intrastat with the “Custom value” in the expedition lines multiplied by quantity of exportation, to make it compliant. I attached you the PDF with the european rules, and the field in IFS “Customs Value” Traduction :a) General caseIt must be indicated in euros for each declaration line, rounded to the nearest whole unit.nearest whole unit. Lines with a value rounded to zero (or with a negative value) must not be declared.not be declared.The value to

Hi, The freight charges (IFS APPS 10):  Could be only invoiced in Shipment Invoice? Is it possible to invoice it in the following Invoices as well?  Many thanks. BR Can

In view Inventory Part Availability Planning, it happens sometimes that my customer experiences wrong linking to demand of type Work Task/Maintenance Material Requisition. The Supply/Demand link takes us to another Maintenance Material Requisition than the one the demand comes from (the Work Task that the material req is connected to may be corrrect or incorrect. Sometimes even the site is not the right one, and the part no may or may not be correct).  We are not able to re-create this in a structured way, it just happens sometimes without us understanding why. Since the customer has high security we cannot let IFS support enter the IFS instance but only the ref environment. Because of this, and since we cannot re-create it in a structured way, we cannot get help via bug report. There are no customizations present.Cloud version 23.1.14

I posted this question before but the conversation has gone stale so I’m posting it again..  Can we do “search in context” in IFS Aurena (cloud) on the IPAP screen like we can in IEE?The reply that I got was not on the IPAP screen but another one, if you post screenshots please verify that we can sort and filter on the IPAP screen. I know that search in context is available elsewhere.

I have created a customer order which went to blocked status due to credit limit blockage after releasing. This blocked customer order shown demand in IPAP window cos “Release for MTRL planning” function is ticked in customer order line tab. but why demand is not generated in master scheduling.My Question: Why does this happened when "Release for MTRL planning" set as ON, why does MRP calculate the External Customer Order as demand, but Master Scheduling does not?

Hi All,This regarding a missing field in IFS Cloud.  In APP10, the ‘Superior Alternate ID’ field is visible under “Part Serial History window” (&AO.PART_SERIAL_CATALOG). But this specific field is not able to see in the IFS Cloud version. Is there are any other alternative has been introduced in IFS Cloud for this specific field? Regards,Nikila Dissanayake
