Hello IFS community, we are having a customer related process which we struggle to find a working solution in IFS. Maybe someone has an idea how to map this process in IFS.We are an EMS company and manufacturer products for our customers. As typically we are buying all the needed raw materials ourselves. There are some cases where customer requests to buy additional material for securing demands and pays for this in advance. Basically, this means that customer becomes owner of this material and that’s like we want to set it up in IFS for two reasons: Legally we are forced to have the possibility to identify material that’s not our ownage and on the other hand we don’t want this material to count towards our inventory value. To achieve this the material have to be set to either ownership “customer owned” or “consignment”. Now we have two possible scenarios, but unfortunately none is working:Buy material at supplier with ownership “customer owned” and

Hello All, maybe a simple question for you. In the attached picture you see a snapshot of my master schedule of a packaging item. Because of the usage in BOM (this item for instance contains 6 pcs in the outer carton resulting in a usage of 0,1667 per item) it causes the data in the MS to be hard to read. I am looking for a way to round all to zero digits after the comma. I have tried to manipulate the field “QTY CALC ROUNDING” in the Inventory part section “Weight, Volume and Quantities” but this has no effect in the MS. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great! Best regardsCarlo Koenders

Good morning.  The company I work for is evaluating the IFS Procurement B2B solution.  One of the questions that has come up is related to the cost of use.  Can anyone tell me if there is a cost add for each supplier that we connect with through B2B such as a user fee?  Thank you!Robin

As Part Catalog has shipping and packing-related information and how it will connect wit

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.

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

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 ord

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?
