Hello, we are running IFS APPS 10 (Enterprise Explorer) Update 8 and for some reason we cannot seem to get the visualizer gadget to appear on our IPAP screen. We have it in our shop orders screen and have granted every thing we can think of under permission sets and we have checked profiles and still cannot get it to appear. Someone asked this question a year ago and no-one really answered it other than saying to check configurations and that’s what we’ve done but we don’t know where else to check. thank you for the help!

Hi,More than one purchase order for the same invoice appears as received in the system. When we process any of them with the invoice and log in, the extra records appear on the matching screen. It causes delays in order references in suppliers with high transaction frequency. How can I close these extra incorrect receipts (I do not want it to appear on the invoice mapping screen).I would be very grateful if you can answer by planning the variations in which the delivered products are used in production and / or sales without entering the invoice.Thank you.

Customer showed me that this window is populated very long (there are over 600000 rows). Because populating action is started automatically when user opens this window this makes a problem for him. Can We suggest sth for him?

Hi All, We experienced the below issue from one of our customers and now need to change the PO status back to Release by returning goods. But it is not possible to proceed due to the error mentioned in the below steps.Firstly, created the external customer order with a purchase line (Line no 1) including “Int Purch Dir” as supply code. Created the Internal PO. Created the internal CO. Processed the internal CO via a shipment. Now Shipment is Closed, and internal CO has invoiced/Closed status. Go to the external CO and add a new line (Line no 2) with supply code as “Invent Order” and save. Now user has cancelled the first line (Line No 1) as they don’t need to process the flow. Now the external CO status mentioned as Released status. Then go to the “Register direct delivery” page, query from the PO and perform the direct delivery. After this, the PO gets Arrived status. (Receipt is also received)Now as user needs to return the goods, he tries to Undo shipment, which is created for inter

Hello all,I am testing a scenario using the new shipment order functionality where I have received stock into a picking location within a remote warehouse on one site and then wish to ship the material to a different site location (that is not a remote warehouse) within the same company. The steps are as followed:Material is received into remote warehouse picking location on Site A via a PO. Material then needs to be shipped to a warehouse location (not remote warehouse) at Site B. Site A and Site B belong to the same company. Using the Inventory Parts in Stock Window, I then use the ‘ship’ functionality to create this movement.  However, I then receive an error message as shown below informing me that I have not defined delivery terms as mandatory data for the shipment order. I have defined delivery terms against the senders location as this is a remote warehouse, but my question is how do we define the delivery terms for the receiving sites warehouse location, when it is not a remote

When a shipment line is recorded in the Multi-Site Shipment window, and a line is received partially, how can we receive the rest? The remaining amount is not visible in the Register Shipment Arrival windows.

Hi, We are looking at using advance customer invoices. The way we would like it to work is as follows:Advance invoice issued upon customer order creation and release Following invoices are issued as per the regular process but the amount from the advance invoice is deducted (if advance invoice is 10% of the CO value, 10% is deducted from the amount of subsequent invoices).Advance invoice creation is straightforward. However, we are not able to find a way for subsequent invoices to take into account the amount already paid. Practical example: I can request advance payment (via issuance of advance invoice) of 10% of CO value. The rest will be invoiced after final delivery/completion of work. Assuming a CO of 1,000Advance invoice: 100 Final invoice: 1,000 - 100The amount that is deducted should appear on the invoice.Thanks in advance (no pun intended...)

Hi All!When I create a PO,  how to setup the calendar showing  in the field “external transport calendar”?Your advices are welcome.

When we try to perform a RMA from Customer order> Order Lines the charge connected to the particular return item is not updated in the RMA Credit Charge tab, we can manually edit this, but we need to have an option to automatically update the Charge 

Hi experts,as mentioned, we are extremly deep into IFS datastructures.Yesterday we got an extraordinary case.Old customerorder (with wrong customerno), shipments, storno, rma, than a new customerorder but without new shipmentlines.We learned (and implemented) the following.The moment a shipment takes place an ITH (Inventory Transaction History) record is created withTransactioncode OESHIP.This record holds all the information about cost types, like purchase, subcontracting, manufacturing, and so on.We get all this information, summ it up to TotalCostManufacturingITH and compare it with TotalCostManufacturing which is the field COST in the table CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINES.Now the following question:How does IFS “knows” about costs and where does the value in the field COST comes from, even if there are no ShipmentLines (where a specific Lotbatch with specific coststructure) is fetched?Have a nice day!best RegardsMichael 

Dears,When I want to use handling unit in register arrivals IFS APPS 10 checks for handling unit capacities on the part. When we create them on parts that r already in inventory he doesn't.  Why is it required in register arrivals and not when the part is in inventory?

Hellodoes anyone know how the staged billing profile with automatic approval type works?what parameters are required?Thanks. 

Customer Order M543599-4-1  with Partially Delivered Status. It does not allow billing the pending sales part BGD252Z. All Component Parts for BGD252Z are Shipped  This is the only existing Invoice for 20 pcs We don’t have way to invoice the missing part   

Interested to hear how others have handled a requirement for a hierarchical sales part catalog that allows individuals entering Customer Orders to easily search for and bulk add parts.It seems like Assortments offer the most out of the box functionality as they allow for a hierarchy and if you’re using the Quick Customer Order registration, you can add parts via an Assortment as well as a specific node.Part Characteristics seems like a ‘simpler’ option, but there is no way to bulk add parts based upon characteristics a user has searched for.    

We would like to begin using the ABC Cycle Counting functionality in IFS and would like to better understand how to get started. We have already defined the perimeters for ABC Class and have a background job running monthly to update those values. I am curious how to dictate the count frequency per class and how the system generates the count list daily. Any help here is appreciated.All the best,Sarah

Hi All,We use UNSPCS classification standard for Part numbers. Accordingly, there are instances where the “Part No’ and ‘Node ID’ could have the same value. In such instance, when trying to connect the part to the node, it gives below error message.However, Node ID and Part No are two different things, where we are not trying to create another Node with same Node ID, it’s that we are trying to connect a part with same value for the node. This error is observed in App10 UPD9. Is this a bug? Is it corrected in any latest update? Thanks. 

Hi, Can anyone explain the hierarchy of Delivery Confirmation.We are looking to turn off using the Sales Group option - but it is enabled on the Customer Record (as 95% of their orders will need this) Does the Customer Record always trump the Sales Group?

Is there a possibility to set an inventory part to “infinite stock”? We have C-part warehouse that is managed and refilled by a supplier. We need an inventory part however to show the part on the BOM. Many thanks.Stefan
