Hello, is there a way to update the customer category from Customer to End Customer? The option “Change Customer Category” is no longer an available option at this stage. This can happen if you would need to update the category (due to a mistake), but it does not seem to be possible anymore. Creating a new customer is not a great option in case transactions already exist. Please share your ideas and how you’ve solved this one, thank you! 

Hi, we want to peg a rental order with a shop order. How can it be done? The shop order order doesn’t appear in the list? Is this only possible with PO’s? Process is simple, the client wants to rent a machine that we need to manufacture first. How can this be pegged? Thanks!

Dear all,I would like to know how you choose the best planning method among (planning methods A, B,C,D,E,F,H) in your company? As you know , this method has a key role to mange our inventory based on carrying and holding costs. we are using planning method G for our parts, and it is ok and there is no any dark room for us about this planning method. but we are going to combine other planning methods for other inventory parts in each class .  My first question is about planning method B  ,if we see IFS help, it is mentioned that these methods consider on hand quantity and they are not dependent to purchase orders and demands. You assume, today on hand Qty is 999  and order point is 1000, lot size is 500, so proposal requisition is proposed for you and you order  it ( so in this time we have a purchase order 500 pcs).next day, our on hand is lower order point so proposed requisition is proposed again, is it correct?  I think that it is not true and our on the way purchase order should be

HiHas anyone managed to find the best process for analyzing and following up on inventory obsoleteness in apps 10? We are aware of the inventory parts availability window, but don’t find this sufficient as there are no obsoleteness calculations or obsoleteness profile

Hello For “External transportation lead time” in matrix, where it can be impacted on? please help to clarify as when I change this value no impact on purchase order’s planned delivery date or planned arrival date.  For “transport lead time”, in Help mention that it is counted in working days of external transport calendar, where this calendar to set up, if not set up, which date it will be counted. Please help to clarify. ThanksSusan   

When you do a delivery using the feature regarding confirmation it is removing the inventory from your books as it should remained somehoe until the delivery would be confirmed. Currently, when you deliver the shipment it triggers the following event : DELCONFOU which remove the inventory out, and put it in a tranfer status. At the same time, it seems to trigger the DELCONFIN that puts it back in inventory, however that has no impact on the quantity. Therefore when you look in the screen “Inventory Part Stock In Reservations”, you don’t see this inventory.  At the time of confirmation, it reverse (again with no quantity impact) the inventory to Cost of goods sold. From an accounting stand point, it seems like it is working but if your inventory has not been confirmed at month end, you inventory will be out of balance? In our spectific case, our clients wants to see the inventory in transit at any point of time. Thanks

One of my customers looking for an App to fulfill for below requirement. The customer is a luxury dairy product (clotted cream) manufacturer. They distribute products locally via a fleet of small vans.Their requirement is for an app which the van drivers used to process their daily deliveries. The orders would be downloaded to the app each day and deliveries would be made as if we were using a mobile live device. As the vans would go in an out of internet range, the app would need to be able to buffer data and download when contact was re-established.Customer would like to know if there are any known apps or customers who have already developed something along these lines. It’s hard to imagine that this requirement is unique as there are thousands of companies delivering their own products on their own vehicles. So I’d hope the IFS community could suggest some known APPS with any past experience.  

Dear all,when creating a PO and its PO lines, purchase charges are automatically fetched according to the setup. However, if we decide to remove one of the charge, this one is automatically re-applied when updating the quantity and delivery dates (same if we set the charged qty to 0). Do you know if there is a way to freeze the charges on a PO?Thanks for your replies 😀

Hello all, I am trying to set up a purchase order authorization rule and/or ewith 2 steps : First step has an authorization type based on an authorization group Second step has an authorization type based on a role projectHowever, when I set it up, it does not work if there are 2 steps with a different authorization type. Please find my tests below for better understanding :TEST 1 : my authorization rule has only one step based on an authorization group --> it works as it generates one authorization line for the people belonging to the authorization group TEST 2 : my authorization rule has only one step based on a project role--> it works as it generates one authorization line for the user with this project role TEST 3 : my authorization rule has two steps, one based on an authorization rule and one based on a project role--> it does not work, it only generates the step with the authorization group but does not generate the second authorization line based on the project roleWh

Hello communityOne issue we have. Decimals are rounded wrong on our delivery note. Example:XML contains the number 3,4485In IFS and in our other systems we use 3 decimals, and its correctly rounded to 3,449. But however our report in PDF has a rounding to 3,448.  If i do recall my days at school, this is wrong. Rounding of .5 has to go up and not down. How can this be, and is it possble to change?

Hi, Is it possible to trigger a mandatory analysis each x receipts, and if the analysis is not triggered you can receive into inventory? In the current set-up, the Receive Case is set on ‘receive into Arrival, inspect at arrival’. We do standard register arrival, the part goes into arrival zone. If the trigger is activated, we need to confirm the analysis first before moving it into stock. If the trigger is not activated, we can move into stock right away. Standard IFS, all good. However, we would like to set the receive case to “Move into inventory”. So if the trigger is not activated, we can move into inventory right away. If it is activated, we get an error and we need to confirm the analysis first. Is that possible?Currently, we get an error when trying to receive into inventory on arrival, saying the part needs to be inspected. Even if the trigger is not creating the analysis. Thanks!

Are you aware of any config/system parameter which could trigger Consignment Stock consumption when transport task line is executed?There is functional gap or ...lack of consistency in IFS.  When stock (ownership = Consignment) is moved from original location to new location by ‘Move Inventory Part’ functionality, pop-up window appears with information “Do you want to consume consignment stock when moving to location [location_no]”. The same action could be set for WADACO version of Move inventory Part process - MOVE_PART and Data Item ID CONSUME_CONSIGMENT.Although, when part is moved by a transport task such possibility doesn’t exist.looking fwd any comments/ideas.
