Supply Chain

We have issue regarding the MRP Snapshot.Actually, we have for a part, a Shop Order to produce the part SO#1 for Part#9.During the night, the MRP is running and start by the Snapshot.We have production team that is working during the night.First snapshot : Inventory. No Part#9 in stock. (duration 5 minutes)During this Snapshot, we close the SO#1 and receipt Part#9 in inventory.Second snapshot : Shop orders - Customer Orders….(duration 5 minutes) SO#1 has been closed so no Shop Order. The result is : MRP didnt see the Inventory, and didnt see the Shop Order.So, he will propose a Shop Order Req to produce Part#9.And we have Shop Order process type that will transform the SO Req into SO just after MRP. Is there a way to : Pospone rception during the Mrp calculaton and record it after ? Forbid reception  during the MRP Calculation ? Actualy , our workaround solution is : Quick Report to identify the Parts that have been received during the snapshot Relaunch Part MRP on these parts  Generat

Good afternoon everybody, does somebody have a detailed description how field “Cost” on Customer Order Line is fetched based on indicator on page “Pricing Contribution Margin Control”. I receive some zero-values even though Part Cost values in the requested Cost Set is available. Is there more data required, e.g. “Inventory Part Unit Cost Details” or something else?Thank you for your support.  Best regards, Rolf 

We’re having an issue where the Shop Order and DOP-order time schedule won't align and I’m suspecting that the DOP-order is connect to the calendar defined in the project, rather than the Work Centers defined on each operation in the DOP-order. Could someone please confirm this and if it’s possible to manually connect a DOP-order to a different calendar than the one chosen in the project?

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionIn Customer Consignment Stock scenarios, IFS currently uses the original shipment date when generating collective customer invoices. However, customers may record a Customer Consumption Date that represents the actual transfer of ownership and taxable event. This consumption date is available within the consignment process but is not reflected on the customer invoice or used as the invoice delivery/tax date. This creates challenges for customers who require the actual consumption date to be reported on invoices and electronic tax submissions, particularly in countries where tax regulations are based on the date of consumption rather than the date of shipment.Requested Enhancement:Add support for using the Customer Consumption Date as the delivery/tax date on customer invoices generated from consignment stock consumption. Make the consumption date available for invoice data, invoice reports, and electro

Hi. In creating a distribution order the currency defaults to EUR, but should be USD. The supplier for the purchase is set up as USD. The companies and suppliers are set up as USD. Where else should it be changed from EUR to USD to default correctly in Distribution Order?

I got this error trying to move into stock after Register Arrival. All serial parts are in stock. I can not see that there are anything wrong with basic data for Inventory Part ether.Is there anyone how has had this error and found a solution?Thanks, Anders 

I am receiving an item on a purchase order in the Register Arrivals window and assigning a Customs Declaration Number and Date. This information is stored on the Part Lot Batch record under the Customs Declaration tab. However, if the part is moved via Shipment Order/Shipment the Customer Declaration information must be re-entered. It is not inherited to the Shipment. (Issue #1) I am moving the items via Shipment Order from an Arrival location to a Remote Warehouse. When I receive the items via Incoming Dispatch Advice, I am not seeing the Customs Declaration Information that was entered at either the original time of receipt or when the shipment was created. (Issue #2) If I add the Customs Declaration No and Date when performing the receipt at the remote warehouse via Incoming Dispatch advice, the Part Lot Batch record is not updated with the Customs Declaration details. (issue 3) Why does it appear the Part Lot Batch window only stores one Customs Declaration No and Date?

Hi,I’m trying to validate a Rental Management behavior. Following is the business case.The company processes a rental asset, and it was on hold for to days ( From 01.30 AM on 6th  to 10.30 PM on 7th) due to a maintenance. The rental accruals needs to be rolled back for two days.In IFS, the Daily Rounding is enabled for the rental line. When a manual event is entered as below, the system calculates the rental adjustment only for one day. The transactions show the both days have been started at 12.00 AM and days count is one even though it was on hold for almost full two days. Event EnteredRental transactions generated Is this the expected behavior or is there a way that we can decide how the day needs to be rounded? Thank you, 

Similar to the Cardex (P4111) in JDEdwards, is there a way to see a running inventory balance (quantity) of a part?

Hi,I have a part purchasing from 3 different Suppliers. (A, B, C) so, I have created 3 SFPP records for each supplier.I have an agreement with the X budget, and those 3 suppliers are involved. So, I created a Supplier Hierarchy adding these suppliers for a parent Supplier and then create an agreement for the main supplier → connect the supplier hierarchy.For the agreement → Parts tab, I can see the 3 SFPP records which I created, but can only add one part, as I have the same part number for all 3 suppliers.I’m wondering if supplier hierarchy is entered, why the system cannot track the part respective to the relevant subordinate supplier and then allows to enter the same part with different values.Any thoughts on this?

Hi,  Does IFS Cloud have a standard feature that blocks the quantities in a particular location that are expired, or about to expire, (probably through an Availability Control ID)?May be a job executed daily to check such quantities and block for demands ? Or at least a report.  Version : 25R2

Sending Customer Invoice, Debit through EDI (INET_TRANS) create an Application Message called SEND_INVOICE_INET_TRANS. Within this file there is a row called PoReference which was tied to customer_po_no.Now with 25R2 SU7 this has been altered and replaced with internal_po_no.As a result, the Customer PO No from our external customer order is not fetched anymore and missing in the outgoing application message. We need to know, how we can fix this, so the Customer PO No from the external Customer Order can be included again in the application message.  Any advice how we can make this work again, since the CustomerPo is an essential part of the outgoing EDI messages.

Currently, the Create Count Report function in IFS generates reports based only on locations that contain inventory in the system. Locations with no inventory records are omitted from the report.This creates a significant operational challenge for inventory control teams whose responsibility is to verify the physical status of every warehouse location, not just those that currently contain inventory according to IFS.Current LimitationBecause empty locations are excluded from the count report:Inventory personnel cannot verify that a location is actually empty. Material that has been placed into an incorrect location may never be discovered because the location is not assigned for counting. Inventory control teams must maintain separate location lists or manually inspect every warehouse location outside of IFS. Count completion metrics do not accurately reflect the work required to validate all warehouse locations.Operational ImpactA location may appear empty in IFS while physically cont

Hi,Let’s say I have a main agreement with a fixed contract value. And there are a few subordinate suppliers with a different value altogether covering that main agreement value.Is there any functionality available within supplier agreement where I can link those sub agreements to the main one and track all the deductions?Main Agreement - $100Sub Agreement 1 - $50Sub Agreement 2 - $20Sub Agreement 3 - $30 If I raise a PO for Sub agreement 2 (let’s say $10) the same amount should be deducted from main agreement also.

Can we block a purchase part in IFS so that, these blocked parts are no longer appearing the the purchase part catalogue when trying to create a Purchase requisition line or as a part line in request for order quotations. Only the active or unblocked, purchase parts should be enable to select from the list of purchase parts when creating PR or RFQ lines? The aim of this requirement is to stop using the purchase part at PR level it self without going down further. Will this be an enhancement request?

Dear IFS Experts,I am experiencing issues with the selected records (377) in IFS Application 10. Previously, record 317 functioned perfectly. Do you have any suggestions for resolving this? Best,CTR

 Hello,We encounter an error when running the Execute step of the rental transfer between 2 different projects.At the "Execute" step, an error message appears: "Only Receive into Arrival and Inspect at Arrival are allowed for non-inventory parts." The item used in the test is an inventory item.The error doesn't seem to correspond to the situation.Have you encountered this situation before?Thanks for your help   

I’ve been trying to find an option to add a discount amount for a purchase requisition line. All I can find is the discount percentage, but this is not a valid option. My client is entering after the fact purchase reqs for things like hospitality and a discount amount is often given for a total amount, say $360. I can have the users manually calculate the discount percentage at the line level but this is not user friendly and often doesn’t add up to the correct net amount. I tried to create a 200% discount and it allows me on the Purchase Req line, however, there is a blocking message when attempting to convert to a PO, since the PO line would have a negative amount. I can do the discount total on a PO by using charges and entering a negative amount, however, I’m struggling to find any options to enter a discount amount for a purchase requisition line.Any thoughts or ideas? Thank you.

In the count per count report all the Parts are visible even though its qty on stock is 0.we understand that they are part of all warehouse stock and must be visible but in practice you count only what you have on stock ( if something doesn't exist on stock, it is normal its qty equal 0) therefore it is time consuming comfirming manually qty 0 for all missing parts.Would it be possible to have 0 automatically filled in for all positions with qty on stock 0?of course the field shoud remain editible for any differences.

When receiving material from transit, from a transport task, is there a way to unattach the Handling Unit during the receipt process?When we perform this process, we are transferring material from one warehouse to another, and one of the warehouses does not use Handling Units. Our requirement is to receive the material and automatically remove the Handling Unit association during the receipt process. Is this possible?

There is a field MSO Scheduling Information available in Shop Order Operations window? Does this field capture values in IFS 24R2 version also. I was unable to see any data getting fetched.While I could see that the field was capturing data in version of IFS 25R2.Also, in IFS 24R2 version - Finite Scheduling Basic Data screen, I could not see the field “Generate Scheduling Information”. From which version is this field made available?

Inventory Turnover Rate job runs into a timeout error. Go to Warehouse Management > Financial Control -> Analysis > Inventory Turnover Rate Enter parameters​​​​​​Click “Next” Timeout Error appears Currently this is considered as a limitation in the application, and the data volume is considered as a main root cause for the issue.Hoping to get a permanent fix for this issue.

Is there an IFS API or 3rd party software that can be used to track the movement of customer shipments from point A to point B. In specific we want to be able to track when a shipment is actually delivered by a carrier to a customer. We are trying to build a customer order performance KPI that measurements not only the internal fulfilment times but also how long it actual takes for a carrier to deliver the shipment to our customers once it leaves our warehouse. BTW we use Pacejet to process our shipments, so we do record tracking information in IFS.
