Supply Chain

Product Version: 23R1SU5Not possible to connect the report automatically with the purchase order lines when printing it. Needs to be done manually. The issue can also be seen in the core environment.  I have identified that generated report cannot be seen in the report rule log. The issue seems to be related to the configuration of the report rule. ConnectedLU = PurchaseOrderLineKeyRef = LINE_NO=[@PURCHASE_ORDER_RECEPTION_REP/PO_RECEIPT_HEADERS/PO_RECEIPT_HEADER/LINE_NO]^ORDER_NO=[@PURCHASE_ORDER_RECEPTION_REP/PO_RECEIPT_HEADERS/PO_RECEIPT_HEADER/ORDER_NO]^RELEASE_NO=[@PURCHASE_ORDER_RECEPTION_REP/PO_RECEIPT_HEADERS/PO_RECEIPT_HEADER/RELEASE_NO]^How can I verify if this keyRef is correct or not? How can I implement the report rule correctly for the PURCHASE_ORDER_RECEPTION_REP. 

We have a purchase order with a No Part Lines purchase received and registered into arrival for a jobsite. The PO has been re-opened in order to make changes to the Receipt.  We’re attempting to use the Inspection result to return 10 of 50 No Part items received on this order.We Registered Inspection Results for a Qty of 10 items for Return Credit for return to the supplier.   The Receipt page references Pending Return Status of “Yes” with a Shipment Connection Line No 9. We are missing some step(s) that would push to complete and confirm that the 10 returning No Part items have been sent back to the Supplier.When we print the Supplier Return Report the Qty to Return still appears as 0.  Also, we attempted to reference any connection between the return quantity and the Supplier Shipment Lines page shown below.No apparent connection to the Supplier Shipment Lines referenced on the Receipt. What steps in the Supplier return process are we missing to simply return these No Part Lines? Tha

Hi All,Need your advice.My organization is using IFS version 8As per subject, we have a situation where we issue partial advance invoice to customer order for the purpose of prepayment (usually 10%) from the entire customer order amount. However, when we closed the order and issue the rest of the invoice amount, the system take out full amount of the customer order. Example as below:The total customer order amount is 901152.00 and 10% of the amount is 90115.20. Supposedly, the balance of the invoice amount should be 811,036.50 ​​​​​ Can anyone help to advice how to make sure that the rest of customer order amount invoice is offsetting advance invoice amount?Regards,Mirza

This post explains the calculation within the Purchase Orders field in the Inventory Part Currently On Hold window.Purchase Orders = Part Received + Parts to be receivedFor the calculation POs with Order Code 6 is not considered and the quantities in the Purchase Order Lines (POL) are considered.Part Received (Purchase Order Line status != Released)Part Received = (Due at Dock - Scrapped Qty at Supplier) * Inv Conv FactorParts to be Received (Purchase Order Line status = Released)Parts to be Received = Quantity * Inv Conv FactorNote: Even if the Purchase Order is in Status = Planned, the quantities are considered as the POL is in Status = Released.

If one uses a site, a field in Sales is the Discount Type:Anyone an idea what the functionality is behind this field?We are using IFS23R2.I understand that the discount types can be found in Customer Order > Lines > Line Details > Order Line Discount.Question is: where do we find the Discount Type as set at Site level back in functionality?

Hello,  I got a list of catalog prices in my sales part, which have to be updated annually massivelly. I wanted to use the sales part base prices, but it doesn’t update my part price.  The problem is that when I create a customer order, the price on my order is the price of the sales part and not the sales part base price.  Is that a parameters of IFS tarification or have I to create necessarily a customer agreement or a sales price list ?

Hi All, I was hoping someone could clarify: Why is a Discount Type mandatory on the Site? I understand we can fill it in with a general discount of 0% and set it as hidden, but why must we even fill it in if it doesn't have a functional use?  Looking forward to getting some insight into this. Thank you in advance! With kind regards,Marian van Doormalen  

Hi all,on the demand site I can’t receive the incoming dispatch advice cause of following error message.The customer order on supplier site is delivered and there is enough parts on stock.  I saw this post, but it doesn’t help, unfortunately:Internal order transit issue | IFS Community Are there any other reasons?

Community, in IFS, distribution order type now is set at customer level, wondering whether we could have it set at the customer and part level.we have center warehouse in site MIS03, production site MIS02, we are using distribution order to move all production materials from MIS03 to MIS02. most of the raw materials for shop orders we are using distribution order with non-stop order type, then after all distribution orders are closed, we are creating shop order picking list (by work center) at the warehouse, and use the shop order picking list to pick all the materials, and pack into totes and label them with the destination work center. but some bolts and nuts are not doing in this way in step 2, they are using order points at MIS02. for those kinds of parts, they should not be using the same order type as the other production materials, they should be created the picking list on the distribution order rather than on the shop orders.question here, is it possible to have distribution o

Hello,When we use the demand plan client,all the characters displayed are garbled,not only the Chinese characters,but also English characters.How to slove the problem?Thank you very much! 

In the past, clicking option Release for Planning and defining wanted delivery date allowed to consider also sales quotations in MRP, that does not seem to be the case anymore.What else needs to be done to have SQ integrated in MRP planning?

Hi all, Does anyone have experience with an interface between IFS(Cloud) and a TMS system?  We are curious about experiences so that we can make recommendations to our customers.  Thanks for sharing your experience with us. /Willy

We are using IFS 10 Update 19. We needed to cancel a line on a customer order, the person said no to propagate changed down to pegged orders. Since they said no the DOP Header and Shop order were left hanging open. The master scheduler unpegged the shop order from the DOP Header and then went to try and cancel the shop order. We get an error message staying the purchase order is associated to one or more purchase order change orders. We do not peg purchase orders to our material. We have tried to determine why this error is happening and we are unsure why we are getting this error message. The message almost reads like it thinks this shop order is a purchase order, so I double check we do not have any purchase order in our system with the same order number. I checked to make sure there were no purchase order that have purchase order change orders that are waiting to be approved.   

Hi everybody,I am trying to create new “Exended Site Info” but get an error message: This Shipment Type does not exist. In this tab we have calendar, delivery address and time zone.Can anyone support?Thank you.

Dear Hive Mind…Just looking for some information on the pros/cons/correct choice to make re Supply Chain Matrix, please. SC Matrix is not something we’ve used before so I’m doing some testing.  Our Distribution Calendar is a 5 day working week one.  We have no Supplier Calendar or External Transport Time set or any days against Route/Ship via etc.  Supp for PP record has leadtime entered (28 - as I undrestand ‘calendar days’) and Inspection Leadtime (4 - as I understand ‘working days’).  Calc Purchase Leadtime is run.   When I run MRP, there is no difference in the Latest Order Date result on the purchase req if I set up an Internal Transport Time on the Supply Chain Matrix for Site/from External Supplier or on the Supplier Chain Matrix for Supplier/to Demand Site.Is there a view as to which is the ‘correct’ way?  Any thoughts gratefully received!ThanksLinda   

Why is the status in the analysis norms window not the same as the status in the general purchasing analyses?

Does anyone have detailed information of what is measured in each of the Lobby elements in the Procurement Central Lobby?Lobby KPI’s 

Is it possible to use hours instead of days for pick lead times?  I tried putting .5 for a lead time picking on a site but it would not accept that.  Usually we can pick and ship in 2-4 hours so wondering if anyone has used picking times in hours instead of days?  Thanks in advance. 

I have interesting case for you. Item was reserved, picked and delivered. Orders status changed to Invoiced/Closed yet, system shows that item is still in the inventory. When looked at the order it showing Delivered 1, Reserved 1 which doesn’t make sense. We can’t unpick it using Not Reported Line or In shipment as it looks as part wasn’t picked. We can’t unreserve it from the order (print screen) because order is closed and changes can’t be made. Sound like cqtch-22 situation. How can I scrap that item for the stock? It is still reserved and system won't allow me. Would be grateful for any good advice. Krystian, 

Hi, We use transport tasks to move reserved stock from the warehouse to the pre-production floor.In our process, we reserve everything, for example all 10 needed units. But due to logistic issues, we cannot move all units at once. So we need to execute the tranport task in pieces.We use WaDaCo. We currently cannot do it in pieces in IFS. If we enter a lower quantity than assigned on the TT in WaDaCo, we get the error message “When moving reserved stock, the quantity on the the transport task line must equal the reserved quantity on the reservation, which is XX”Problem here is that we need to manually follow up what’s the status of the transport task, as we or need to confirm it all in the beginning, or at the end. During the real life executing, IFS is not alligned with the real life situation.Is there a solution for this, somewhere a setting perhaps? On site level, I only find “Move reserved stock” which is allowed.

Hi Planning Method G, the value determines the number of days in the future. Does and do these number of days includes weekends  If business days, Example, if the number is 5, does it recommend to place the supply order in combined buckets of 5 days/full week?Is there a field that adds lead time to part so the items show up in Purchase Requisitions sooner? (lead time to purchase) I looked in supplier for purchased part and supply chain matrix and cannot find anything ThanksRachael 

Customer would like to know if it is possible to automatically blocked an order when the advance payment was not fully paid but after the reservation. The idea is to manually reserve a lot but blocked for shipment until fully paid advance invoiced. Seem pretty basic to me, but IFS seem to fall short on that.

We have had an issue with reservations not selecting the correct goods which, with an IFS Consultant’s help, we believe is related to the “Reserve At Receipt” field which currently defaults to “Reserve to Parent Order Component”. Manual tests indicate the behaviour works correctly if that setting is changed to “Reserve To Shipment”.Our question is: can we change the “Reserve At Receipt” field to default to “Reserve To Shipment” rather than “Reserve to Parent Order Component” at Company or Site level?This is the current, undesired default:This is the current, undesired defaultThis is the desired default behaviour:This is the desired default behaviour 

DUPLICATE PLEASE REMOVEcheck Lot Size Based Structure within Master Schedule | IFS Community

Our business is on v10 IEE, and we have lot and serial tracked parts. We are trying to configure weekly cycle count reports that include a specified number of parts to count and ALL lots / serials of those parts on each report. We are combining the Include Full Qty Of Part In Location parameter option with the Number of records to be Printed option. The hope was that, upon specifying a Number of Records, for example 15, the resulting count report includes 15 different part numbers, and all of the different lots/serials for those – which could be well over 15 lines to count on the report depending on the number of lots/serials in stock for those 15 parts. In actuality, we have found the Number of Records parameter restricts the number of lines on the report, not number of parts – for example, the resulting report may contain 10 different lots of Part A, and 5 different lots of Part B; we end up performing a full count of two part numbers only, when the intent is to include many more par
