In testing 22R2, a functionality we had before is no longer available or working differently.In 22R1, when we had an approved quotation, we could create a Purchase Order from the order quotation approval screen, select Add to Existing, and if there was a PO with matching site/coordinator/buyer, we could add to it.Now, it is not identifying existing PO’s even if the criteria matches. Any ideas here?  I searched through all the 22R2 documentation and couldn’t find anything. 

Where can I find more information on the IFS third party shipping solution that replaces IFS Freight interface for the Cloud?

Hi,Can someone confirm the standard functionality from the below two scenarios in IFS related to the Intersite process?  When adding a new line to the already existing external customer order, then the system will create a new internal purchase order and customer order only for the new line. When adding a new line to the already existing external customer order, the system will automatically include that new line to the already created internal Purchase order and Customer Order.Thanks in Advance.

<Business Scenario>In case rental user (end user who rental a machine) would like to end the contract in the mid of certain month our customer (IFS user) would like to calculate the amount for the last month of bills by daily basis.If the amount is greater than “Monthly Max Payment Amount” then our customer will charge “Monthly Max Payment amount to rental customer for the month. <Functionality Gap >Currently rental price is calculated based on price and chargeable days.There is no “Monthly Max Payment” field to be used for this scenario. <Expectation>Our customer would like to have “Monthly” option for rental duration. In addition, they would like to have a concept of “Monthly Max Payment Amount” to be used for the scenario where customer stops to rental in the id of certain month. <Example Scenario>Rental Type: MonthlyRental period: Apr 1 - Apr 30 Monthly Max Price : 150,000 JPYDaily Basis Price : 10,000 JPY12 Days : 10,000 * 12 = 120,000 JPY20 Days : 10,000 *

Hi everyone, I have a problem about “Self Service Procurement Portal”.I am not able to see one “Self-service Procurement catalog” in the “Self Service Procurement Portal” and I don’t know why. I’ve checked the following :Self-service Procurement catalog is published and is valid for all users Category Assortment is active Product lines are existing in the catalog and are not set as “excluded” Companies of all sites are defined in the “Companies” group of page “Category Assortment”  Sites are defined in the valid sites tab of the “Self-service Procurement catalog” Self-service Procurement catalog is up to date (update has been made)Another catalog works and is seenable on Self Service Procurement Portal. The only differences I see are :The seenable catalog has been manually created while the unseenable catalog has been created by datamigration.  Data seems correctly added to parent ID catalog when manually created (FRSAM2) by the process of adding the part to one subnode (as images bel

When raising a purchase requisition/PO - what field determines the cost centre/site that it is allocated to - or is this driven from the colleague set up that is raising?

Hi All,I’m a IFS Partner and appreciate if anyone could share information on “Retail Assortment” in Apps 9 (Component RETWHO).Thank youBest regardsChitrangana 

We've a situation where we plan to enable lot/batch tracking for the majority of our part numbers. (500 000+)Problem is that those parts are on 20+ sites, different unit costs, currencies, locations etc.Since this feature only can be enabled when there are no parts in stock at any site - what's the best practice on how to turn on lot/batch tracking? Please help us and point us in the correct direction here

In IFS Apps 10 Aurena, we have found that some screens require users to click the “Edit” (pencil) icon before they can edit data, but most screens allow users to edit data directly. Can this behaviour be changed via a customisation (e.g. via page designer)? Background: We have added several mandatory custom fields to the Supplier screen. In EE, this would forces users to populate all of the mandatory fields before they can save any changes to the record. However, Aurena allows users to edit fields one at a time, with changes being immediately committed to the database when the user clicks out of that individual field. As such, it is possible for the user to edit the record without populating the mandatory custom fields (i.e. making the fields mandatory (required) in Aurena does not force the users to populate them as it did in EE).The Aurena Suppler screen does have an edit pencil icon, and if the user clicks that before making any changes, Aurena behaves as required (i.e. it forces th

Hi Cloud people,is there a way to trigger the pop-up window again? The nice window that shows the options available when the customer order line is saved. I was hoping to find a way to get the window back in case you need to modify or select the options again. Changing the line quantity doesn’t get it to pop up again, and deleting the parent part line is not cool if many lines have already been entered. Any good ideas on this? Thank you! 

I have an APP10 UPD15 customer trying to add the Delivery Note number to Customer Order Invoice - his ask: “I am attempting to add the Delivery Note number as a reference custom field to several screens related to the Customer Order Invoice. The Delivery Note number is pulled by the CustomerOrderInvoiceRep layout, but I can't get to the reference used by the layout to duplicate it in the custom field. Where is the invoice layout pulling the Delivery Note number from?”

We have an existing custom field showing Total available quantity from the same site the requisition exists: INVENTORY_PART_IN_STOCK_API.Get_Avail_Plan_Qty_Loc_Type(CONTRACT,PART_NO,NULL,NULL,'AVAILABLE',NULL,'PICKING','F','SHIPMENT','MANUFACTURING')but now I should need to modify this  expression to show it from the warehouse site. How can I do that?

Hey everyone! Just a quick question, is it possible to update Shop Order routing and structures in mass from shop order overview, when a large quantity of shop orders have already been created that require routing/structure updates, rather than individually updating as this would be a time consuming process and could potentially miss some orders out due to the risk of human error?Sorry for the wall of text sentence structure? Cheers,Martin.

Hi All,We need to cancel the purchase order which is in released status. But while cancelling the PO, system throws the error to cancel it from the connected Change order against PO.But system is not showing any options to cancel the PO change order which is in POupdated status.  So kindly suggest.Thanks in advance. 

Hi,In Apparel/Garments/Textile industries, it is a common practice to have different types of defects like Major, Minor and Critical. And for all these types of defects users use different AQL values(normally for major and minor different AQL values are used and for Critical it’s always Acceptance No=0 and Rejection No=1 is used in most of the cases) due to which Acceptance and Rejection No changes, though the sample size remains the same as in AQL chart sample size is based on the lot size and acceptance and rejection no is based on AQL value.In IFS Apps-10, we can assign only one AQL value for one control plan of an Inventory Part/Inventory Part and Supplier Combination. And we cannot have multiple control plans Active for each of the items. So, how can we handle this without customization/modification, can anyone suggest?[I need this both for Manufacturing & Purchase items] Regards-Nahin

Hi,Im very new to IFS so apologies….We are using IFS 7.5 So very old!I am trying to check the base set up of purchasing defaults as I believe there is something missing from the initial setting up of IFS which means we cannot use purchase orders properly. I believe its a setting at high level and not just defined in the part. Does anyone have experience of this??Thanks

How do you remove zero onhand quantities from Count Sheets?  We don't want to count zero quantities.  We only want to count parts with a quantity on hand greater than zero.Business Impact: We are counting items that don't need to be counting.  It is slowing down our inventory reconciliation process.

Hi,The current Export Control functionality work with the Part level and you need to define each part as export control enabled and you also need to list down all your parts in the respective Export licenses. But it would be really efficient if those can be defined for a group of parts, something like Product family. Then it will be very much convenient to define as well as to maintain the export control data.It would be great to hear if anyone of you has done any mods to facilitate such a requirement. Please share the details if it is known to you. My question to R&D is; Have you ever thought of such an enhancement and/or is it in the development pipeline?Thank you.

 Hello, Can you please explain to me the difference between an Internal customer and an Internal-Subsidiary customer? Thank you in advance.Lina

Hello everyone,We have for our customer an lobby element constructed to display “Incoming dispatch advice lines”.It works but we noticed that unlike other lobby elements, our “site” filter does not work properly.When we put “%” to show all sites linked to our user, we see all lines from all sites. It’s not a SQL problem because if we go directly to the menu “Incoming dispatch advice lines” and we search without any filter, we see all lines from all sites. If we go to “Customer Order” and search without filter, we only see the customer orders from the sites linked to the user. Here is the lobby date source designer : I tried to add this to filter only the site linked to the user : and contract IN( SELECT contract FROM USER_ALLOWED_SITE  where userid = (select fnd_session_api.get_fnd_user() from dual )) With an administator account, it seems to work :  But as soon as I test it with an account with limited sites connected, I have this error message :   Messages d'erreur du serveur :3021b0

Dear All,we are going to apply planning method E or F in our company, and there are 2 key parameters that should be entered (ordering cost and holding cost). I have read many papers and website, but I have not found any suitable pattern yet to calculate the ordering cost.I would like to know, how ordering cost should be calculated when we are going to place our purchase order for each material. I should set ordering cost for each material, there is who calculate this parameter or know how I can calculate it?I am very confused about this problem; I would be appreciated to help me.

Hi,  When we enable M102 - Pre accounting Purch Order Part Lines posting control for a particular code part on IFS with control type C58 - Mandatory Pre Posting, I expected the system to trigger a pop up at the point of saving the Purchase Order Lines to enter the pre postings. In my case, this did not happen, it worked as expected when the M108 - Pre accounting Purch Order No Part Lines is defined as mandatory - where at the point of saving a no part order line the system triggers the pop up window to define the pre postings. Can I know the reason behind this difference in behavior is and if there is anything additional that needs to be done to achieve similar behavior as the no part order lines instance. Thank you.  Best RegardsAkila
