Supply Chain

Hi All, We have following situation for a machine building company: Their machines are build using different modules which are easily interchangeable. So we have for example a Serial Object with Serial ‘1’ which is composed of 5 modules A,B,C, D and E; Each module is also a Serial Object and ‘Contained’ within the structure of Serial Object 1.  The Serial object 1 was purchased by a client X years ago, but his machine was outdated and he replaced it with a new one, our customer got the old one back as part of the new machine deal.  Now they want to ‘upgrade’ that old machine. Upgrading means: they will disconnect all modules, and re-insert a combination of new and existing modules into the machine frame so it becomes a new model (= new part number, and new part serial). So Serial Object 1 is back on stock after the sale has been made. They will strip module A,B,C,D, E and put these on stock

Hi Guys,anyone of you have seen this error? We are trying to generate a work time calendar, which is in status “Changes pending”. Normally no problem, when we had this situation in Apps9. Calendar generated without any errors.Now in IFS Cloud (22R2 SU11), background job stops after one minute. These two line with error messages (ORA-20110: ChangePurchaseOrderLine.DATES_UPDATE: It is not allowed to update dates for Reopened order lines unless there is any qty to inspect.).One PO (Change Order) is a “No Part Line”. Makes it hard for me to understand, how to inspect this kind of PO Line?!  Can I be sure, that this are the only to error lines? Thx for your help.

Hi,I am working with customer that received EDI order for configured parts and this working fine. The customer also sells groups of these parts as a package part item. The issue is that IFS incoming customer orders cannot support orders for configured package parts. You can receive the incoming order with configured components as individual order lines but that mean that in IFS they will not be treated as a package. I am wondering if anyone else has had this requirement for EDI order for configured package parts  and how they worked around it ? 

I have been using the Sales and Operations Model for nearly year and would like to know exactly how the Set Up Resource Consumption works. Currently we have copied it from the manufacturing routing which assumes that, for each product changeover, we need 0.5 hours to set up.My question is - how does the resource routing and S&OP know how many product changeover we need? Do I need to increase the consumption in the resource routing to account for this? and would that be to the average number of changeovers (say 30x0.5) per month? I am assuming the phase and out dates are important here also.

Community,wondering how to uncheck this box on customer order line - Charged Item 

Hi Community,I’ve seen few topics on the Freight Interface Customer order, extracted below screenshot on the post below for example.....but I can’t get the hand on it.Is this is an additional module or what version was this included in ?Thanks in advance for your comments Currently using IFS CLOUD R22/2.1

Hi,Looking for user experience or knowhow.Is it possible in IFS Customer Order to apply a Discount Amount at just CO header level rather than per line?  Best RegardsJohn

Hi All,Could anyone help me in providing the supporting information or materials on difference changes between IFS Apps10 and IFS Cloud 22R2 Cloud related to Supply chain Management module. List of changes/new features in IFS Cloud 22R2 SCM when compared with IFS Apps 10 functionally in SCM. Thanks in advance. 

Hello,Is there a documentation or any information available on the tabular format of the scanned document that should be there in the Scan Customer Order functionality introduced in the latest cloud release?I am looking for the information like, how the data should be formatted (what should be the columns in the table, what should be the order of the columns, how to name the columns etc.) etc.Thanks in advance.Best RegardsTharanga

Hello,I get the below error in the lobby element designer. Why do we get this error and is there any way to resolve this?Below is the data source designer. Thanks in advance!!

When converting the Purchase Requisition lines to PO, the following error occures: “ Standard cost missing for part xxxxxx with configuration id * ”  Strange thing is when the same user does the same steps for another PO for exactly the same parts under same settings, the error naver occured. I checked the setup for those parts, they all have ‘Zero Cost Forbidden’ with Estimated Material Cost and the Unit Cost in the Inventory Part zero. But the SfPP has a cost. Is this possible?

Good afternoon; It appears I can only process 21 lines at a time when selecting Move with Transport Task while in Inventory Part in Stock Reservations. Is this a setting somewhere that I can update this? My client has run into some issues when using Move Shipment Reservation with Transport Task, as we’d like to trigger the tasks from Inventory Part in Stock Reservations instead.

Our purchasing department would like to know if it is intended that the Purchase Order Lines overview screen is not editable? I’m in IT so I have access to everything and I can’t modify this screen. My reasoning I gave her that you can’t do mass changes on this (e.g. change all the dates or change the inspection criteria) is because this view PURCHASE_ORDER_LINES_ALL combines both no part order lines and part order lines views. So maybe because of this and no part order lines having different primary keys than part order lines that maybe this is why? If someone could give me a reason or tell me that this screen is editable and I’m missing something, that would be very helpful.

Hi Community, I create a Customer Order for 2 units. Reserved and Release the order.In Quick Order Flow Handling I have the button “Create Pick list”. I push the units to the QCLAB and 1x fails and get scrapped I then return to the Cust Order and reserve a new unit to replace it. Only this time, I do not have the option Create Pick List in the Quick Order Flow Handling page. The only place where I found I could create the new picking list is under Shipment→Operations→Create Pick List. I’m not sure why this does not appear on the Quick Order Flow Handling screen as before but only at Shipment? Am I correct or there is something I haven’t explored or done wrong. Thanks in advance for your comments. 

How do we connect the cost of Freight on a purchase order for a non inventory part to a customer order?It is does not appear possible to peg this in IFS Cloud.So how could we track that our orders are profitable and that we are not losing money on Freight as with the volume of transactions it would be easy to lose track.It would be possible if we setup Freight as a part to solve the above scenario but this seems extremely convoluted to start receiving the part, reserving, picking and shipping on the customer order and is not efficient. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, On the the Freight Map - Tab - Valid for Suppliers.What does this actually do? I have created a customer order with freight charges but I cannot link the charge line back to a PO to raise to our supplier for our cost of the Freight. Is this possible?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,I can’t find answers to my problem.One of our customer asked us if it is possible to perform a quality check of inventory parts at the supplier storage.So the main question is : Can the supplier perform a quality control before shipping, that will be linked with IFS Cloud ? We tried to find this option in B2B module but no options regarding this case are available.For now we are working with 22R2 maybe this option is available in 23R1, I don’t know … Thank you for any answers

Hi,When we receive non-inventory parts POs, I noticed purchase cost is now gone to Miscellaneous Cost field hence no accounting entries are shown. Could you please let me know how to fix this?   Thank youKind RegardsNimesh

Is it proper to categorise a supplier as Dues, Sundry, Raw Material, Utilities, etc using the Supplier Statistics Group? Or are those classifications for Supplier Group?

I would like to control where MRP schedules a Shop Order based on the Machine No field in the Routings. Is there a way to make Machine No. more than just a preference? For example, I have 1 work center (work center AB) with 2 resources (Resource A and Resource B). In the routing for part number 1234, I put resource A in the Machine No field because part number 1234 can only run on resource A, not resource B. MRP uses Machine No as a preference and if Resource A is at capacity, it will create a Shop Order Requisition for part number 1234 to run on resource B. Is there a way to make MRP schedule resources to run only what's specified in the Machine No field if a resource is entered in?

Hi team,Some customers with several warehouses have asked me how to automate the reservation and delivery from secondary warehouses to the main warehouse when the main warehouse does not have enough material to fulfill a customer order?I know that IFS functionality “automatic reservation” can be configured with the rules to reserve from more than one warehouse, but how to automate the shipments between the secondary warehouses to the main warehouse (where the packing has to be done to ship to the customer)?Any idea will be very appreciate?Thanks!Salvador

Hello all,The issue of transferring delivery notes (i.e. in paper form) to IFS using recognition software has arisen in our company, so that they can always be found digitally (in IFS) and no time-consuming searching is necessary. Accordingly, we want to get away from the paper form. In the end, there should be a link between the delivery note and the purchase order placed, and this link should be retrievable in the attachments in the IFS on the corresponding screen.Have any of you already gone through such an implementation? If so, what recognition software was used and how was it implemented?We have roughly thought of the following:1. the received delivery note is recognized by the recognition software by means of the delivery notes number.2. this received delivery note is first processed there.3. after that the XML and the PDF file of the delivery note is sent to IFS.4. the PDF file and the XML file of the delivery note are to

Hi,How to send attached specification files when you “print request” in order to send all by email 

In the spreadsheet of IFS Cloud 21R1 a new window ‘Goods/Services Statistical Codes’ is mentioned.Is there any explanation of this new feature available?The page help doesn’t find an entry and the field description says something about Brazilian NCM code.  

So, we have been playing with Ac Hoc purchase in Cloud 22R2.8.The Ad Hoc purchase order is connected to the work task, but the created PO is not.After the invoice has been finally posted, we need to connect the M93 posting manually to the work task. Is there a way of having the system automatically add the work task/work order to the posting line?  As soon as this is connected, reposting is kicking in and transferes the cost over to the work task.
