Supply Chain

We are a relatively new IFS user (14 months). All I want is a simple aging report from IFS.  Does this software not accomplish this?  How can it not have a canned or easy to create Aging Inventory report?  I have run turnover rate analysis, but it gives inaccurate data as compared to Inventory Parts In Stock or transactions history.  This is unacceptable.  This data for almost any retailer, manufacturer etc is critical.  Why is there not even a manual to be able to help intelligent people like myself who is a CPA and went to law school be able to figure things out?  

Hello, I wonder if you can undo/cancel a withdrawal of a material? I made a withdrawal for the wrong material and now I want to reverse this withdrawal so that the balance  will be correct again.Can you do this somewhere?

Hi,What is the correct process to follow when returning goods to demand site where internal direct delivery is made from supply site in same company.Example Site 1 takes external customer order and delivered through Site 2 with Int Purch Direct Supply code. Now the goods need to be returned to Site 1.The reason for asking the process is, if I try to create RMA on External Customer Order and try to return to demand site (Site 1), I get a cost bucket error.I found below process when goods retuning to Supply site.. 

Is it possible to add custom field for free text in Inventory part in stock view so that you would be able to write some text there. Filed can be added of course but I haven´t been able to find way how to add some text there. 

**Posting on behalf of customer**We are planning to implement Warehouse Tasks for Transport Tasks, Customer Order P/L and Shop Order P/L. In addition, there is also a need to handle MATERIAL REQUISITION P/L. Can this be added as a WAREHOUSE TASK TYPE?

Please let us know whether there are any existing reports or screens to obtain below information in the IFS System, 1.

Hi,Has anyone tried to set up pricing for Sales Parts based on combined quantities? We have the following scenario: Sales Part A, Price £100 for  Qty <15K, Price £50 for Qty > 15KSales Part B Price £100 for  Qty <15K, Price £50 for Qty > 15K However, if the customer buys Sales Part A & B at the same time with a combined Qty >15K they still get the reduced price for each part/line of £50. E.g.Sales Part A, Qty 10KSales Part B, Qty 6KCombined Qty = 16K, Price for Sales Part A = £50 and Sales Part B =£50 The reduced price must be applied at the time of ordering so it can’t be done retrospectively as a rebate for example. I have looked at all options I think, pricelists, agreements, campaigns, sales part discount groups. Am I missing something or is this not possible using standard IFS functionality? Thanks

A single occurrence address was used and the pick list printed out the old/primary customer address.  Based on IFS help, the ‘default info’ box should not affect this.  Why would the primary delivery address have printed on the pick list if a single occurrence address was used?

Hello, I am currently using the database task ‘Create Consolidated Pick List for Customer Orders”. We have a parameter that will create a pick list for any customer order who’s due date is within 3 days of the current date. This works fine by defining the execution offset as -3 but how could I set this to be equal to or less than 3? If a customer order ever gets created with a due date that is older than the sysdate (couldnt happen unless through a migration) then that customer order would never have its pick list created.  How can I get around this and print all older pick lists as well? The parameters are pretty limiting. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Bryan

Hi,I’ve done a reservation of an article in multiple locations in IFS Apps10. I’m trying to prepare that article using Wadaco, however the current configuration prevents me to access the second location when completing the first preparation, the article is tagged as prepared and is no more available in the list of items. I’ve tried using loops but I have no idea how it works thus I did not manage to have something that works in the end.  

Hi, Does anyone know whether Shipment Orders can be automatically generated in Planning  ?? Eg MRP generating Shipment Orders to move stock between sites instead of DOs for an instance. If so where can I set up the basic data ? I know for a fact that existing Shipment Orders will be taken into account by the planning engines as supply/demand.This question is more on the need to use Shipment orders instead of DOs for inter-site stock movement in a global supply chain set up. However I need MRP or MSL1 to generate Shipment Orders instead of DOs when the planinng cycle is run. Is this possible ? We are looking at 23R1 implementation. Thanks in Advance! Kind RegardsYashodha

Hello, we have some parts that use MS level 1 manual forecasts in conjunction with project planned netting groups.  A planner noticed today that two out of the 10 parts had a "last run date" of today's date even though no one manually ran MS and there's no scheduled task for it.  The remainder of the parts had dates in the past as you can see.  PMRP is run daily for all projects.I see in the background job details for PMRP that running MS is a step at the very end.  My question is does that last run date on MSL1 part indicate when MS ran or when it actually changed something?  I’m wondering if the two parts in question had some supply/demand changes and MS had to recalculate and the other parts did not require recalculation?   We are on APPS10 and we recently installed UPD17.Thanks for any insight you can provide.

We’re trying to pick top parent handling units ( with several handling units as children underneath) for shipments and unfortunately the top parent HU get unattached but the children get picked for the shipment. Does anyone have experience with top parent handling units and may have encountered this as well? Looking for suggestions on why the top parents are getting unattached. We are in IFSAPP10. Thank you

Good Morning Everyone, Our customer wants to manage rebate agreement final settlement based on a “min.sales” expressed in terms of amount of sales per currency, not based on UoM of the Sales Part.Would you know how I can manage that in IFS? We are on IFS Aurena version: 22.2.1.20221024062126.0

Hi All, It is possible to connect a packing instruction to a Product Structure so that it will be fetched to a Shop Order when creation. Packing instruction is used in the Receive Shop Order dialog box and parts can be received with automatic packing - nice feature. However, the Packing instruction seems NOT supported in the RECEIVE_SHOP_ORDER WaDaCo process. It always asks for a Handling Unit ID when receiving a shop order and there is NO Item field in the WaDaCo configuration to use Packing Instruction as well. This is an important feature to the manufacturing process as  sometimes the products are already packed and received. The users have limited time to receive these packed packed, so that it would be efficeint to use Receive Shop Order with packing instruction using WaDaCo.Does anybody know the reason of not supporting this?  Thanks,AsankaD

Hi, We run APP10 and use Customer Schedules a lot. We have a predefined Customer Orders that we re-enter new CO lines on from Customer Schedule. These orders tend to be very big after some time and the performance is very bad, the CO can buffer for several minutes before it is completely loaded.  Have anyone else come across this and have a smart way of solving it?  BRJosefin

Dear All,Can some explain how the sales order intake process work and when data is sored in the table IFSINFO.SALES_SUMMARY_PCKCOMP_V2_TAB?We've made a customer report based on a view called: IFSINFO.SALES_SUMMARY_PCKCOMP_V2The view contains this:CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW IFSINFO.SALES_SUMMARY_PCKCOMP_V2 ASSELECT "LINE_TYPE","ORDER_NO","STATE","LINE_NO","REL_NO","LINE_ITEM_NO","LINE_STATE","CONTRACT","ORDER_TYPE","CUSTOMER_NO","CUSTOMER_NAME","CATALOG_NO","CATALOG_DESC","COUNTRY_CODE","REGION_CODE","ADDRESS_STATE","SALESMAN_CODE","S_GROUP","T_SALES_QTY","TOTAL_SALES","TOTAL_COSTS","GROSS_PROFIT","REPORT_DATE" FROM IFSINFO.SALES_SUMMARY_PCKCOMP_V2_TAB; When we use this view we only see data till a certain dateWhen we look in the table we also see no data with a report date later than that certain date. So my question is how is the table IFSINFO.SALES_SUMMARY_PCKCOMP_V2_TAB normaly filled?What proces or processes must be run to dow that? Kind regards Raymond

Hi,I am trying to understand why IFS is sometimes giving me the possibility to merge shop orders and sometimes the option is not possible. Is there a function or parameter that needs to be “on” in Inventory Part or so? Here’s how it looks. For this article and shop order, I can merge. But if I try on another article, the option is not available.  

Is there a way to have availability check automatically apply dates at customer order entry for supply code Purch Order Dir?For Invent Order it does this, but for Purch Order Dir it appears to suggest a new date (based on supply chain matrix and supplier manufacturing lead time), but leave it to the user to apply the date. 

Hello,We’re on APPS 10 UPD16. On Procurement > Order > Purchase Order screen, we have already the “Order No” field automatically filled in with a # when we save/adding new records. I would like to have this field non-editable by the end-users, so that we don’t end up with orders out of the autogenerated sequences we programmed in. Is there a way to “grey out” this field, but still let the autogenerated numbers to be saved in?Thank you! paul.
