Supply Chain

Hi All, We have been live in IFS for four months now and we use the demand planning module to load a unit forecast into monthly buckets. We have 900 active MS Level 1 Parts that 3 planners are responsible for monitoring, these are broken out into multiple different planner codes. We don’t have a traditional “Master Scheduler” and would like to know what other users do on a daily basis in regard to the Master Scheduler Lobby, the MS Action Messages and anything else other users find helpful with this specific subset of parts. Myself and the other 2 planners I work with have never been a Master Scheduler, we understand how it behaves and have not had any delays or misfires with the master scheduled items in regard to customer shipments since we went live in IFS. Essentially what does a master scheduler do day-to-day in IFS?? Are there any best practices?We run MRP nightly and we update all MS Level 1 parts monthly, the changes month over month are minimal - a monthly forecast might chang

Hi ,Please can anyone help. I have created an export licence and connected it to a customer order.I change the Expires Date on connected licence and then processed the shipment after the export licence expired. IFS still let me complete the shipment but we would expect the shipment to be blocked as the licence is no longer valid. Does standard IFS  recheck the connected licence at point of shipment or would a customisation be required?

In Apps 10 When I run a ‘Cleanup of Inventory’ task I am presented with the following error message.  ORA-02292: integrity constraint (IFSAPP.ORDER_QUOTATION_LINE2_CRK) violated - child record foundI am looking for guidance to the root cause of this error message?

Hi All  Very new to this so Hello :) Could you advise me if there is a way to change the planned receipt date on PO’s with the whole po and not each individual line.  For example I have a PO with 43 lines on and the supplier has now advised a planned receipt date - I now have to manually change each line - can this be done easier?  Thanks :) 

In a material return authorization, when the goods returned by the customer are received, we get this error message: “The validity end date is earlier than the validity start date”. This case is found with part serial tracking.So we don't know what validity it is or are there any missing parameters.Thanks.

When buy 1 part from PJ as 120 yen.And then buy 2 pieces as 100 yen for one, transfer two to PJ.The Project Analysis window shows debit balance as 333 yen and inventory is 0.Which is incorrect because the true value is 320(120+100*2).Also this is not correct in accounting.(diff 13)

Other thancreating a repair shop order, Issuing out/receiving in stockIs there a way to update existing stock to a new Lot #? 

Is it possible to create a Scheduled Count Report that only includes a set number of parts from the Warehouse?e.g. there are 1000 parts in a Warehouse, a count report is scheduled for each day listing 50 arbitrary parts to be checked?Day 1. 50 partsDay 2. 50 parts (excluding parts counted on Day 1.)Day 3. 50 parts (excluding parts counted on Day 1. & Day 2.)and so on.Stock Counts would be done each day, 6 days per week. Any guidance would be appreciated.    

Community, is there a way, that on the customer order could specify the part revision no? we have parts in stock come with multiple revisions, if customer a particular revision, how to make this revision visible on customer order line? Thank you.

Dear Community, I  noticed this issue, at the time of Register Arrival, When the receiving case is “ Receive into Arrival” System allows to select and GRN in Picking Location. Is there any reason behind it??And is there any standard setup to block this??

Hi All,Is there any Format of Non-Conformance Report in IFS for damaged material, incorrect or excess material received related to Procurement process in IFS apps 10?Thanks in advance.

Our scenario is like below example.Manufactured top level part number “10”. Consists of semi-finished manufactured part “20” that consists of purchased component “30”. MRP is used to explode demand.Part status used:Part No 10: A (Demands Allowed) Part No 20: E (Demands Not Allowed) Part No 30: A (Demands Allowed)I can register demand on Part No. 10 (as expected). I have nothing in stock and MRP will create a SO requisition for Part No. 10.When I try to create SO from req., system will present an error message “Demand for shop material allocation part not allowed…”. This is fine and logical but, in our scenario, too late!We need an early warning that we will run in to this problem before we try to create a shop order. It could e.g. be that part No. 30 is out of stock and has a long lead time.I have tried MRP action proposals, MRP background job log and Inventory part availability exceptions. Since demand is not allowed for Part No. 20 it will be ignored and not present any messages. Sam

Hi,Is there any report or screen to find the list of Purchase orders raised against its respective Supplier agreement. This is required to match the list of PO’s gross amount and supplier agreement’s maximum amount.Thanks in advance.

I am using IFS Demand Plan 21.0.8.0. I am trying to figure out if the Std Season profile overrides the season profile field during the create forecast job. Can someone provide input?

Hi all.I have a customer that wants to apply a specific cost (overhead) in some purchase parts. The inventory value method for those parts is “Weighted Average”.For the moment the solution proposed is to create a purchase charge as “unit charge”......and add this charge to Supplier for Purchase Part.  On this way, I met the customer requeriment. But now, the customer needs to know, when he consults the cost of the purchase part, how much amount come from the supplier fee (price) and how much from the charge. This allows him to compare the previous year's costs with those of the current year.Is there a window or transaction where I can check the cost separately? I checked the Inventory Transaction History window, but for each receipt I have one line (Posting event: ARRVAL) for supplier’s fee and another (Posting event: ARRCHG) for the sum of every charge I have in the purchase order (for example, a transport charge plus my overhead), and this is not valid for my customer.Any solution to

Hi, We are using IFS V9, I noticed we can create a new custom page with an existing logic unit, but if we do like this the existing logic unit can’t be edit in the new page. For instance I want to create a new page for customer order lines for planners to confirm planned delivery date, because the standard customer order lines function include price information which should be limited to access. Is it possible to create a new page like customer order lines but having limited columns and users can also edit the columns like customer order lines?  Thank you very much.
