Supply Chain

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 spec

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

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

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

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

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
