I have an interesting issue Im hoping somebody can help me out with. We are currently using Putaway Zones when our unit finishes out of the last work center. We currently have the work center set with an Outbound location and the Perform Putaway Check Box selected. We have set out Putaway Zone Rankings so that all of the units have the following operative values in the Putaway ZonesWe do have varying sized units as well and those are set appropriately. What is happening is I have two units, both the same size, both set exactly the same way, but one will have the putaway performed and the other wont. Im not sure what Im missing but everything appears to be set up correctly and identically between the two units. Any help would be appreciated just to point in the right direction.

Hello All,According to IFS help, you can do a RMA to a customer without the original sales order. “Return Material Authorization is a feature that is used to enter and authorize a customer's request to return previously delivered parts, with or without a known customer order number.”I am looking for a equivalent for the vendors. We will be loading the inventory quantity via a count at go live but some of the items might eventually be returned to supplier. For those items, we would not have the PO in the system. The only thing that we have found is via an inspection but that necessarly require a PO.  Any alternate process and/or suggestion is welcome. We were maybe planning on using “issue inventory part” and use the scraping cause to isolate in a specific GL account, and eventually enter the supplier debit memo manually to offset the account. This has multiple issue where we do not connect the return to the debit memo, and we are losing tr

Hi All, I have a client using Aurena that wants to Print their Shipment handling unit labels when they create the Pick list. The Parts although not reserved are pegged. Does anyone know if this is possible? 

Hi,Could someone let know what is ASC module (ASC shipment) in IFS ? As I see, it’s not in IFS core ? Is it an extension or a localization ? Could someone also share documentation or training materials related to ASC flow ? Thank you in advance !

Hi,I have created a Purchase Requestion and converted it into PO. Then after Releasing the PO, created a Purchase Order Change Order. As now I don’t need the PO, firstly I cancel the Change Order line → Release → Update PO. Then my PO was also cancelled automatically.But the PR is still shows in Closed (Header) and PO Created (Lines) status. Is there any possible way to reopen the PR since the PO is cancelled? (No option available for reopen)Please note that, the process has tested in the Aurena environment.Thanks.

How to enable the condition code consideration for a part while executing MRP / PMRP / Order proposal. If the stock exists with a different condition code system is still considering that stock as available / usable stock, however it doesn't allow to isse the same stock on MR without change of condition code.

IFS Cloud 22.2.1 - DP Client inside Aurena does not display bottom part of the window. The graph is visible, but parameters and time series are empty - the widget is not displayed. It happens probably (?) due to some update in Chromium, as it does not work in Chrome nor Edge, but works in Opera. It’s completly not expected - as it used to work few weeks ago. 

HelloWe try to have overall picture of Supplier consignment stock value from “Inventory part in stock” , but the unit cost of “Consignment” ownership is zero.How can we get this total consignment value in IFS? ThanksSusan

Hi all,Trying to understand what the core logic is when determining Route Order when creating Consolidated Pick Lists for Shipments.I understand that the Route Order is a hierarchy and the lower the numeric value, the higher its priority is.  The highest branch in the hierarchy is the Warehouse then Bay, Row, Tier Bin.How does the logic consider alpha numeric Route Orders?For example, if the Route Order is A1, is this considered higher than B1 or C1? What if the Route Order is more complex such as A1A, how is priority determined?The Business Case is to allow the Warehouse Personnel to accurately define in which route they want the Warehouse workers to pick material. This is in Apps 10 UPD 15 – Aurena Client.Thanks.

Hi,I have created a custom field (Column) in Sales Quotation overview screen. how do i make the column global so that all users can see the custom column.

We are new to IFS Cloud and are wondering if we have something set wrong for our MPS/MRP.  We do have all our Level 1 MS Parts set for Create S/P Req for Entire Horizon.  When we look at components that may be 1 o 12 levels below the MS Part, we only see MRP demand as far out as the expected lead time.  We need to see the entire horizon for all parts and not just the top level.  Is there something else we need flag or set? 

I am trying to add two YES/NO Boolean custom fields to EngPartRevision, Development Status tabOr on the header….as seen belowI can add the custom fields, however cannot click then when done...Apps10 IEE , UPD 18 

We are receiving the error “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” in the Purchase Order window while trying to save and while trying to tab out from a field. The error occurs randomly and not often. So, recreating it is not possible. When it happens the user needs to restart IFS to get rid of it.It occurs only in the PO and no where else in the system. We are using Apps 10 update 15  Ifs.Fnd.FndSystemException: Explorer: An Unhandled Exception has occurred ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Ifs.Application.Purch_.frmPurchaseOrder.SetDeliveryAddressInfo()   at Ifs.Application.Purch_.frmPurchaseOrder.ValidateDeliveryAddress()   at Ifs.Application.Purch_.frmPurchaseOrder.dfDeliveryAddress_OnPM_DataItemValidate(Object

Our customer has the requirement that parts from customer orders and shipment orders should be processed together in the same shipment ID.I have not found a way to consolidate lines with Source Ref Type "Customer Order" and "Shipment Order" into one shipment.There are no suitable consolidation parameters in the shipment type basic data.Is there an option to process parts with Source Ref Type "Customer Order" and "Shipment Order" in one shipment?

Has anyone used the Enhanced ATP functionality released in 22R2?  After playing around with this in a reference environment, I’ve noticed some interesting behavior and it appears I may not be grasping some of the intended value by this enhancement. Below are just a few points I’ve seen thus far:Batch Release of Customer Orders It’s only possible to batch Release Customer Order Lines if the Planned Due Date is before or sooner than the Expected Unlimited Supply Date (EUSD) from the Inventory Part.  Why would you not be able to Release Customer Orders after this date?  Isn’t the assumption that all demand could be satisfied in theory after this date? Replanning of Customer Order Line Dates The Replanning feature does modify the Planned Delivery Date at times but only if any incoming Supply is arriving sooner than the EUSD. For example, if the Purchased Lead

Hi everyone, We are not able to delete Picking type inventory location if there is a Return Material Authorization connected to that location. We get error message like this when trying to delete the location:  Is there a way to remove this connection to Customer Receipt Location to get the inventory location deleted? We would like to avoid these “0”-locations to come to our count reports as there is nothing to be counted anymore. So if the Customer Receipt Location info cannot be deleted, is there a way how to avoid certain inventory location for certain part to not come to count reports? Thanks in advance 

Hi,I want to add information from a Dynamic Attribute in Retail Assortment to a customized field in Part Catalog. When trying to set it up in Basic Data for Object Factory I get an error message saying “The Retwho Object Attribute does not exist”.I guess I’ve missed some setup, where should I do this? Or does the customized field (C_UOM_CONV_FACTOR) need to be added in another table? 

We have setup SFTP from IFS10 to our Transport Administration system. The XML-file is transferred successfully but the response from the TA-system is not supported by IFS. The application message ends up with an error: “Error during file sending Caused by: com.jcraft.jsch.SftpException: Operation not supported.”This causing IFS to keep retrying to send the file, which will cause error in the connection. The TA-system thinks it is spam and we will be loocked out.

Hi,we are using IFS Cloud 22R1. and my customer is asking, in IFS , is it possible to determine Sales Parts’ price (or charge price) via 4 key: Part No, Customer, Ship-Via , Delivery Term.  eg:Part A, to Customer X , By Ship ,  FOB ->  $100Part A, to Customer X , By Ship ,  CIF ->  $150Part A, to Customer X , By Air   ,  FOB ->  $300Part A, to Customer X , By Air   ,  CIF ->  $500                          Part A, to Customer Y , By Ship ,  FOB ->  $150Part A, to Customer Y , By Ship ,  CIF ->  $200Part A, to Customer Y , By Air   ,  FOB ->  $400Part A, to Customer

I understand the concept of Expense Inventory Parts, but I am a little confused why there would be a need for a Part Transfer Template for Expense Parts. I mean, you can’t designate an Engineering Part as expense, and normal functionality (for the engineering transfer) is that Buy parts with no structure automatically pick up the Purchased Raw Part Transfer Template.I guess that you could manually select an Expense Part Transfer Template (if one was created) on the Engineering Revision Transfer screen, but personally I can’t see the need. Does anyone create Engineering “expense” parts and use an Expense Part Transfer Template? If so, how do you use it?Or am I missing something?Thanks!

I have a situation where a Company X will sell and deliver goods to Customer Y.  We’ve setup a remote WHSE in Company X, Site A as a remote WHSE and linked it to Customer Y.  When I deliver my customer order, I need to deliver the goods to the Customer Y remote WHSE and see the inventory in the remote WHSE perpetual’s inventory in IFS Cloud.  Is this possible?  Seems to me like a straightforward VMI model, but I am not sure how to deliver to a customer’s remote WHSE in IFS Cloud.  And for those who might be wondering, the inventory that needs to show in Customer Y remote WHSE should be of ownership Customer Owned (This is not consignment, it is VMI, with Company X being the Vendor). Thanks.

Hi, there was a question on the practice exam that I haven’t seen any reference to yet. Which was if IFS has order point planning and IFS has order up to planning. Where can I find the answer to this in the source material?

Hi All,I currently have the ‘Kanban Reorder Point Requests’ scheduled to run every hour. I have noticed that the new transport tasks are created each time the reorder process runs and if existing transport tasks are not executed before the scheduled job runs again, I essentially end up with too many transport tasks. Does anyone know of a way to prevent additional new transport tasks being created as long as there are existing tasks in a status of ‘created’?Here is an example kanban circuit I am testing with: 

Hello,Is there a method that updates the offsets of the sales price and not the base price in the price list ? The option adjust offsets acts on the base price and not the sales price.Thank you in advance,Lina ;)
