Hello, I noticed on my customer environment (already in place) a lot of background jobs (several thousands in a short period of several days) I do not recognize.Example : I did not find anything with the description and function. Do you know where theses background jobs come from ?It seems to calculate quantities about an inventory part on a specific site but I don’t know which quantity and the objective of theses calculations.I’m sure it is simple but I can’t find it. Thank you

Hello.  I am new to IFS (several weeks) and am looking to implement Visual Planning.  One of the key aspects of successfully maximizing machine load is to start the set up of one job while the previous job is finishing.  To do this, I need visibility into the setup times of each job.  We do not want more than one operation to plan by, so the goal is to get the visual on setup within the bar representing the total time on the job.  Is there a way to do this?     

Good Afternoon,  Is it possible to add a Serial Number manually in IFS?  We recently had AP miss entering a serial number in IFS but now we need to do a RMA without a serial number.  The system doesn’t like that and blocks the RMA. I want to be able to add into the serial history to the part and complete my RMA. Thanks

Hi everyone, I am looking to prevent global inventory of of all stock locations.In normal flow, we are using “Create Count Report”, and we limit the number of stock location by using “Number records to be Printed”. But in case of mistake, for example by going too fast and click on “OK” without setting up the report, all part will be inventored, and the system will crash.So im looking for a way to block this. Thanks for your answers !

Hi Team IFS,I would like to know how can I generate a penalty for late delivery .I mean, if a supplier does not respect the delivery date, he should pay for that extra delay with a new invoice attached to the original one.I know that it is possible to see the delivery time of each supplier but after that how can I create the feature above on IFS Cloud ? 

I’m working with a customer who is interested in utilizing Packing Proposal as well as a  WaDaCo configuration to validate the packing of the Shipment, although, this seems not possible from core.  Scenario:Warehouse worker (picker) will receive a Warehouse Task to pick material to a staging area to await packing.   Warehouse worker (packer) will review the staging area and would like to pack the order using WaDaCo based upon Packing Proposal recommendation Issue:Since Packing Proposal packs the Unattached Shipment Lines into Handling Units, the Warehouse Worker (packer) can no longer use Pack into Handling Unit on Shipment configuration as no unattached Shipment Lines exist anymore.  Since the packer is packaging the box based on paperwork and no barcode scanning, it’s possible they can put the wrong part in the wrong box.Is this on the radar to be addressed?I know it’s possible f

Hi,We have an inter-site setup as outlined below.Customer order is created at our sales site 102 (supply code: Int Purch Dir)  Internal CO is created at our distribution site 103 (supply code: Int Purch Trans) Internal CO is created at our manufacturing site 104 to fulfill this demand (supply code: Inventory)  Is there any order promising method/technique that would allow on our top level sales site (102) to see the lead time and calculations down two levels to our distribution and manufacturing sites for cases when there is no inventory in either warehouse?We cannot run CTP at site 102 as the supply code at site 103 is not inventory order (Int Purch Trans).Is there any setting/customization that would us to run CTP on our top level sa

Does anyone know about Payment Schedules (Retention) for Purchase Order???Issue: Retention is set up for 10% of total PO Amount → PO Change Order INCREASES/REDUCES total PO Amount --> on the Payment Schedule, the updated Total Gross Amount is reflected...shouldn’t the "Planned Amount" AUTOMATICALLY update as well?????  Is there a setting/toggle I need to alter or is there background job that should run?  

We have very large orders that are set up to ship say freight then the customer needs a specific line shipped via air.  Does anyone know how to set this up without having to move the line to a new Customer Order? We could always update the ship via each time but afraid it may get missed moving back for the remainder of the order.  We are IFS Apps 10. Thanks, Donna

Hello,My company have just done an upgrade from Apps9 upd 8 to Apps9 upd 18. We have noticed changes in the reconciliation process of customer schedules during the upgrade. I’m looking for more detailed specification about how the reconcile is supposed to work in different scenarios, more details than are available in the online help and e-training as this information has not helped us to solve the problem so far.The remaining problem is that we have some customers that does not keep backorder lines in the customer schedules other than as accumulated information. We did not have a problem with this in previous version, but now the reconcile are treating deliveries towards the backorders as deliveries on future order lines and removing qty in the reconcile process. The setup in Customer schedule agreement part;Call-off BO option - ignore in reconcileCall-off reconcile option - use delivery noteI’m investigating a work around skipping the reco

Please could anyone share a good dashboard for procurement in IFS Cloud?

Hi, In app10 upd17, we discovered an odd behavior in customer schedule reconciliation. When having Ignore in Reconcile as Backorder Option and Use Delivery Note is activated as Reconcile Option, the schedule gets stuck with Reconcile failed but no error message when there are deliveries in transit (shipped but not received by the customer). Is this the correct behavior? Should not the user get an indication of what is incorrect? Regards,Josefin

In the Parts Order Lines tab of a Purchase Order, there is a column called “Inv Conv Fact”. Additional information for this column states, “This field displays the conversion factor between the purchase unit and the inventory unit. The formula is as follows: Purchasing unit = inventory unit * purchasing conversion factor.” We have a part which has a problem in its setup and is creating an Inv Conv Fact of 174 in this column. I’ve tried to research where the inventory unit and puchasing conversion factors are but I’m not finding them. Does anybody know where these are?

Hi All,I have a question regarding the possibility as to whether there is a possibility to block certain Sales Part for a customer. If so, please let me know.Thank you. 

I have a scenario where I would like to configure WaDaCo process REPORT_PICKING_PART to use pick by choice for serialized parts in inventory and lot/batch parts. But we also have serialized parts at receipt and issue only. According to documentation pick by choice does not work for those:The Report Picking of Parts process does not support the following:Report Picking of parts that are serial-traced at receipt and issue (but not serial-traced in inventory), when Pick by Choice setting is enabledThis means I'm forced to either make everything traceable in inventory or not use pick by choice.Anybody found a way around this? 

Community,there is a scenario we are facing, wondering how to map it in IFS?We have products need to be sent to China for coating. IFS Supplier Material function should work well with it. but recently, the products completed in China will not be sent back to Canada in all, partial will be sent to Belgium, our sister company. China supplier is not in IFS system, Belgium does. The business between China and Belgium is Buy and Sell relationship. Thank you.

Hi, I remember that it would be possible to show also non-reserved order lines on pick lists. Is it possible in IFS10, we are running update 15.

Hello,We recently went through a migration where inventory parts were given the wrong UOM and inventory was migrated. How can we update the UOM to correct the issue. The qty is correct but the UOM is incorrect. Does this require a DB level change?
