Supply Chain

Is there functionality in IFS Cloud that can allocate work center time for planned customer orders and/or engineer to order products?  When we quote our ETO products, which typically ship with standard products, we include lead time for engineering time, but we cannot schedule the order until the routings and structures are buildable in IFS.  This can be a 1–4-week window of time after an order is placed where the load of the order is not visible for the scheduling team to work around.    Are there any new tools that help with time allocations for orders without complete information to aid scheduling?  I think in IFS 10 there were methods to estimate the ETO products utilizing routing and structure estimates, can that be used to help create placeholders until the structures and routings are made buildable?  If there is information on this topic elsewhere, I’d like to attain more information on the capabilities. Thank you,John

Hello - We are on Apps10 update 17.  I am looking for the best practice to correct a price on a customer order once the invoice has been created for the wrong amount.  We are currently creating a credit memo from an RMA and then creating a new customer order with the correct price.  These transactions do create inventory receipts and issues that I am looking to avoid as inventory is correct.Thanks

Dear team, Is there a reason for not to consume Project Misc Demands by Master Scheduling unless the supply option is PMRP and you run MS for the project? If you have a project misc demand with supply option MRP and the same part is defined as a MS Level 1 part, it does not create supply either by MRP or by MS.

Hello,We’re implementing the ability to print barcode labels at point of receipt, however if we select multiple receipt lines it will not ask if we want to have a different pack size per line, is this by design?TIAMat

We have discovered a handful of shop orders that are not pulling in the phantom part number into that specific column. I have found 1 Customer Order that has 2 of the exact same cases on the order, one shop order has the phantom part no showing and the other does not.  Phantom ShowingNo Phantom ShowingThe shop orders were released on the same day. We use the CTO module; these are both the same configuration. In the past we knew it would not appear due to being a shop order brought over from IFS9 to IFS10.

Hi, When i create a Purchasing control plan with all basic data set up correctly (compared with IFS Cloud) and then create a purchase order, register this purchase order at arrival, the arrival can still be registered without filling in the mandatory control plan analysis filled in.  Sample frequency trigger is: At ArrivalInspection percentage is 100%Receive case is: Receive into arrival and inspect at ArrivalControl plan is mandatory for site and part. My experience with IFS cloud is with the manufacturing control plans, where clearly an operation cannot be approved without giving in these analysis results and where the option is available (button) to fill in these results. That`s what i`m missing in Apps10 Purchasing control plans. So, 2 issues:The purchasing control plan that is mandatory can easily be ignored when registering for arrival. It can also not be added afterwards (to a separate purchase order) No clear option to fill in the control plan analysis, Or how to fill in the re

Hi,We are facing a weird behavior when we’re trying to receive one Purchase Orde Line partially.we have 1 Purchase Order with 1 line (quantity = 10000 UN)Step by step example:Add 1 Charge on Charges tab with Charge Price = 100 Receive into Inventory 1000 UN (partial receive) on Inventory Transactions History, this first transaction (ARRIVAL) was impacted by Arrival charges (until now everything seems fine) add a second charge with Charge Price = 50  Receive into Inventory 1000 UN (second receive) on Inventory Transactions History for this second transaction we cannot see anything related to charges. then we made a Manual Supplier Invoice for thar charge to see what will happen, and the transaction impacted was the first one and not the second (as expected).Anyone with the same problem/question? Thanks,Joao

Usage of Tax class to get the correct tax code is not working logically in ‘Int Purch Dir’ Scenario.The external customer order retrieves the incorrect tax code corresponding to the final customer delivery country instead of internal customer order delivery country. Any suggested workaround for this?IPD tax information in Customer does not work when two sites belong same company.

Hello All,could you please tell me where can i find in BPMS de the "general term of purchase"  library?Regards,Kruthika

Hello,Our team manages refill putaway zones for tech vans in our remote warehouse setup. Recently, we added storage zones and multiple inventory locations within the remote warehouse, allowing each tech to have assigned bins for replenished parts.Previously, running the refill for each van took just a few minutes. However, since adding the storage zones, each scheduled refill now takes over an hour to execute. We refill 40 vans twice a week on different days (Monday to Thursday, starting in the evening), but the refill process often carries over into work hours, which disrupts our team’s daily functions as they wait for scheduled tasks to complete.To address this, I created a separate batch queue configuration for the refill putaway zone. However, I believe that pulling from our main inventory is causing delays by interrupting parts reservations for customer orders and work tasks.Is there a specific system configuration or optimization that could help speed up the refill putaway zones?

Does anyone have any idea what the below error message means “Level1Forecast.FND_RECORD_EXIST: The Level 1 Forecast already exists” is the message when MS Level 1 is scheduled. Also happens when manually clicking Run MS - One Part. Red stop message “ The Level 1 Forecast already exists.  Forecast is copied in Demand Planner

We are trying to change the MRP type on the below.Can anyone point me in the direction of where to do this. 

Let’s say a part serial is renamed to another part number. This will result in one PARTREN- transaction with the old part number and a PARTREN+ transaction with the new part number. Later, a revaluation event causes the PARTREN+ transaction to be revaluated, because of the WA logic. Now there is a difference in the cost between the two transactions, since the PARTREN- transaction was not revaluated. Will that not leave the account used on the M191 posting with a balance that will be hard to explain? 

Hi, should route order have any effect on transport tasks when using perform putaway in move into stock?If so, should there be some values on every level of route order? (Bay Route Order, Row Route Order, etc.)Or is there some other meaningful putaway basic data that should be considered?IFS CloudThanks,Markus

it is not possible to create a material requisition for a configured part as we have the below message : What is the solution to issue those parts from inventory ? apart from scrapping and counting out of course .

Do we have a functionality in IFS to distribute the shipment charges (Freight) to customer orders for CO invoicing?In our case freight is calculated by a  3rd party tool. 

I have an inventory part that someone in one of our sites undid a scrap after serialization was turned on at receipt and issue. Now this part is stuck (qty 2) due to being unable to scrap or to create a serial number to assign to the parts. Please advise.steps to replicate:1) scrap all parts in inventory for specific part no2) turn on serialization for issue and receipt (not inventory tracking)3) undo scrap transaction

Hi All I am trying to cancel a few receipts shown in the ‘Received - Not Yet Invoiced’ Report. However, for the internal receipts with the FIFO/LIFO valuation method, seems its not allowed. Why is that?  Thanks,Asela 

Hello, Is there an OOTB solution for adding NMFC codes and classes to parts for display on shipping documents?These are codes used in the US classifying goods for calculation of freight handling and pricing. Used primarily in LTL shipping.I considered using document text or handling unit types/categories + packing instructions, but there are many NMFC codes that are updated frequently and that would be messy.

Hi All In the Inventory Part in Stock I need to filter out for all users the parts that we have set with the description = DO NOT Use and also containing no stock, like this:  The first part is set up like this in the page designer How can I set up the 2nd part, the available quantity >0 ? Thanks,Asela 

Hello, I entered a Main Representative in the Customer tab. What I was expecting is that when I enter a new customer order for this customer I assumed that the main representative would be automaticcaly added.This is not what is happening.Does anyone have an idea on what I can do ? Thanks.

 Version: APPS 10 and Aurena.Our users create and submit purchase requisitions in Aurena using the “My Purchase Requisition” screen.  Authorizers will later approve or reject the purchase requisition line.   The issue we have is when an Authorizer rejects a requisition for a reason that requires the original requisitioner to make a change and submit the req. again.  For example, change pre-posting or price.   The original requisitioner can see the rejected purchase req. line in the My Requisitions section but there doesn’t appear to be a way to grant edit permissions to these screen.  The only way we have found would be to give the user access to Purchase Requisition lines, but this would give access to all purchase requisitions, not just theirs. Has anyone found a solution for this?   

I’m having an issue trying to get the refilling of a remote warehouse from inventory to work and I’m not sure what I’m missing. It will generate Purchase Reqs but not Transport Tasks. We are on 10UPD22.I set up the QI warehouse as a remote warehouse. Auto refill and a putaway destination are checked. Storage requirements validation is excluded at the site level.There is a single location of picking typeI created a storage zone with the remote warehouse in it. Then added that storage zone as a Putaway Zone with ranking of 1.The remote assortment is set up with about 10 items and refill source of Inventory. I switched one item to purchased and it worked and created a purchase requisition. The assortment is tied to the site and QI warehouse.  I’ve set the Refill Putaway Zones to From All Stock Location at the site level, also tried it at the inventory part level.Also transport tasks are set consolidate at the warehouse level.Looking at one specific part in the assortment. There is invento

We are using production schedules for production reporting in IFS cloud. Our desired behavior is to have material consumed in the order that it was received into the inbound location. Our understanding is that IFS uses “receipt date” which is when that incoming material was produced (or received if raw material).  Our only solution right now has been to assign a different expiration date to the material that was moved into that location so we can tell it the proper order. This uses the priorities then in warehouse management. This is not ideal as it requires more interaction and management of expirations. Is anyone aware of another option for how we can consume material based on when it was moved into the inbound location for that production line?
