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 ;)

Hi, is there an easy way to get the planning method B parts to MRP Action Proposals list? Purchase Reguest is created by INV, based on the B planning method, not MRP. Materials will be delivered to standard inventory. We have Cloud 22R1brMiia

There are times when Forecast is staying inside of Demand Time Fence and driving requirements into MRP.  Some of the forecast is 2+ years old.  We use Demand Planner to load forecast into MS 1.

Hi Everyone, A customer recently upgraded from Apps 9 to Apps 10. They are using supplier schedules as part of their business operations. In Apps 9 they were able to create new supplier schedules even without a demand. But in Apps 10 new supplier schedules cannot be created without a demand.And also in Apps 9, once we create a new supplier schedule with line type R or F (Released Firm Demand, Forecast Demand), we can delete the demand which will create a new supplier schedule without any lines.But in Apps 10 this is not possible. The application does not create new supplier schedules when we delete the current demand. But this is not applicabl

I have two parts on a customer agreement as follows:  Part Valid Price 1222 1/1/2023-12/31/2023 $1 1222 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2023 $2  If I create two orders today: Order 1 with wanted delivery date in 2023 for part 1222 $1 Order 2 with wanted delivery date in 2023 for part 1222. Shouldn’t $2 be the price?  Currently both orders are showing $1.

HiI’m looking for a way to use Rental Management with some parts that are serial tracked only in receipt and issue, (but not in inventory). We cannot create a “Sales + Rental” Sales part for parts that are serial tracked at receipt and issue but not in Inventory.I tried to re-name  the part serial to a different part no that is serial tracked in inventory, but this is also not allowed. Rename requires the new part no to have same serial tracking setup as per original part no. Does anyone see a work around for this? these parts are produced mainly for selling, but few of these are used as rental units also.Thank you-Dharshana 

Hi, We have accidently registered an RMA on the wrong customer number and processed the RMA to status Return Completed, the parts was scrapped. Is there any way of backing this? I thought to use the Undo Scrap Inventory but there the transaction was not visible and there is no option in the RMA page that let me undo the scrapping.  Regards,Josefin

Is it possible to setup IFS Cloud to automatically Fetch the Authorisation rule when we create a Purchase Order. For 99% of our cases the individual raising the PO will approve it. So the extra steps of clicking Fetch Authorisation Rule seem a little cumbersome.  

Sup Boys ‘n Girls,In the current PO report layout that we are using the article number does not fit into one line so it automatically breaks down to the next (see annex). That fact has already caused some misunderstanding with suppliers as they did not expect the article number to continue in the next line.  Is there a way of highlighting the article number (e.g. put a frame around it) or let it fit into one single line? Any support is appreciated. Thanks!
