Supply Chain

Running into a strange error in which the Shipment Type is not being retrieved from the Site Default.Recreation Steps:Set-up default Shipment Type on Site (there is no Shipment Type defined for the Customer) Attempt to enter/save a Customer Order Line.  The Shipment Type will not be fetched and the user must manually select it through the Required Fields assistant that pops up.This is in a 22R2 SUPD 5 environment.    

Has anyone tried out a simple way of printing Site Address connected Phone Number in External Shipping documents like Shipment Proforma or Bill of Lading?Is there a possibility of fetching this value to the sender reference in shipment?

Hello Community;I am working with a client who is utilizing the Internal Purchase Direct Supply Code. In certain circumstances, they need to cancel the originating order in the demand  site.  The cancellation is being replicated from the originating order, to the PO, and the order on the supply site. However, on the supply site order, the cancellation is processing on the lines, but not the header.  The lines all show as status of Cancelled, but header status is still Released.  When you attempt to manually cancel the order header, the following message is provided.    Here is the Supply Chain Customer Order Analysis ​​​​​ 

Our EDI customer re-use the same PO references on different incoming orders (they aren’t able to change this). IFS can accept this, but when an order with the same PO reference is received, IFS rejects this order at the 'incoming customer order' screen (see below). The only way to work around it is to amend the PO ref, create the order, then change the PO ref back on the order that's created, but this is resource intensive. Does anyone know if there’s any configuration to allow duplicate Customer PO Numbers on incoming customer orders? 

We have a scenario where when we create a customer order with currency is dollars. This customer order will be delivered.After two months when we received the invoice for this order, we can see that the currency of the invoice has changed from dollars to euros.Our question is, is it possible to change the currency in the customer order or invoice?And if it is not possible to change the available currency, how should this scenario be managed in the system?

We need to show the actual value of each unit within a given WBS and divvy up the excess inventory into specific WBS'. With this, we found a lot of purchase orders tied to shop orders through an operation, however, the cost of the PO is not increasing the value of the material. I could have sworn if you asked me, this was once functional. However, going back and looking at orders from a long time ago - it appears I would have lost the bet. Should the SO/PR/PO/SO tie have the complete value?

Hi Team, Is it possible to revert the status of Transport order from Arrived to Created status from frontend in IFS Apps 10? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Does anyone know if purchase order authorizaition rules are supported when transfering ownership from customer owned or supplier loaned to company owned?  

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

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
