Supply Chain

Hej, The customer I am working with does yearly agreements and use “Call off Orders” to purchase through out the year and the quantities are consumed from the agreement. In IFS CLOUDR1 we could use blanket purchase order for this functionality, but it is not possible to have multiple parts on on purchase order, when we do create agreement release. it is possible to have multiple parts on the agreements but when we do the release you can add only one part thereby creating one Purchase order, so if you need to order more parts you will have to do one Purchase Order for every part.It would be nice to have the option to select multiple parts or create new release and add to an existing PO (for e.g. connecting purchase requisition to an existing Purchase Order)

Running Apps10 UPD19We are having some issue with our Advance Invoice layout and I noticed that IFS is using Report Definition Invoice when we print an Advance Invoice.  Report Definition Advance Invoice is not used.Both definitions are In the Customer Order Module.Is Invoice the correct report definition for an Advance Invoice?  I was expecting the Advance Invoice report definition to be used.And if there is a choice - what controls the report definition used on an Advance Invoice?

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?

**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?

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
