it is not possible to create a material requisition for a configured part as we have the below message : What is the solution to issue those parts from inventory ? apart from scrapping and counting out of course .

Do we have a functionality in IFS to distribute the shipment charges (Freight) to customer orders for CO invoicing?In our case freight is calculated by a  3rd party tool. 

I have an inventory part that someone in one of our sites undid a scrap after serialization was turned on at receipt and issue. Now this part is stuck (qty 2) due to being unable to scrap or to create a serial number to assign to the parts. Please advise.steps to replicate:1) scrap all parts in inventory for specific part no2) turn on serialization for issue and receipt (not inventory tracking)3) undo scrap transaction

Hi All I am trying to cancel a few receipts shown in the ‘Received - Not Yet Invoiced’ Report. However, for the internal receipts with the FIFO/LIFO valuation method, seems its not allowed. Why is that?  Thanks,Asela 

Hello, Is there an OOTB solution for adding NMFC codes and classes to parts for display on shipping documents?These are codes used in the US classifying goods for calculation of freight handling and pricing. Used primarily in LTL shipping.I considered using document text or handling unit types/categories + packing instructions, but there are many NMFC codes that are updated frequently and that would be messy.

Hi All In the Inventory Part in Stock I need to filter out for all users the parts that we have set with the description = DO NOT Use and also containing no stock, like this:  The first part is set up like this in the page designer How can I set up the 2nd part, the available quantity >0 ? Thanks,Asela 

Hello, I entered a Main Representative in the Customer tab. What I was expecting is that when I enter a new customer order for this customer I assumed that the main representative would be automaticcaly added.This is not what is happening.Does anyone have an idea on what I can do ? Thanks.

 Version: APPS 10 and Aurena.Our users create and submit purchase requisitions in Aurena using the “My Purchase Requisition” screen.  Authorizers will later approve or reject the purchase requisition line.   The issue we have is when an Authorizer rejects a requisition for a reason that requires the original requisitioner to make a change and submit the req. again.  For example, change pre-posting or price.   The original requisitioner can see the rejected purchase req. line in the My Requisitions section but there doesn’t appear to be a way to grant edit permissions to these screen.  The only way we have found would be to give the user access to Purchase Requisition lines, but this would give access to all purchase requisitions, not just theirs. Has anyone found a solution for this?   

I’m having an issue trying to get the refilling of a remote warehouse from inventory to work and I’m not sure what I’m missing. It will generate Purchase Reqs but not Transport Tasks. We are on 10UPD22.I set up the QI warehouse as a remote warehouse. Auto refill and a putaway destination are checked. Storage requirements validation is excluded at the site level.There is a single location of picking typeI created a storage zone with the remote warehouse in it. Then added that storage zone as a Putaway Zone with ranking of 1.The remote assortment is set up with about 10 items and refill source of Inventory. I switched one item to purchased and it worked and created a purchase requisition. The assortment is tied to the site and QI warehouse.  I’ve set the Refill Putaway Zones to From All Stock Location at the site level, also tried it at the inventory part level.Also transport tasks are set consolidate at the warehouse level.Looking at one specific part in the assortment. There is invento

We are using production schedules for production reporting in IFS cloud. Our desired behavior is to have material consumed in the order that it was received into the inbound location. Our understanding is that IFS uses “receipt date” which is when that incoming material was produced (or received if raw material).  Our only solution right now has been to assign a different expiration date to the material that was moved into that location so we can tell it the proper order. This uses the priorities then in warehouse management. This is not ideal as it requires more interaction and management of expirations. Is anyone aware of another option for how we can consume material based on when it was moved into the inbound location for that production line?

We are currently using IFS 9.0 and we want to know if there is a way to ensure we are only receiving quantity 1 at a time?

I can’t seem to get the capability check to consider excess supply (a purchase order) during its calculation. I have a [level 2] purchased component that is included within the critical path determined by the capability check. I then created a PO for this part to arrive in tomorrow. When I re-ran the capability check it does not considering this purchase order. It is using the lead time of the this purchase part, even though we have “excess supply” arriving tomorrow. I have tested using both Inventory Part settings DOP Netting = “Netting” and “Auto Netting”. Neither setting for my purchase component is correctly netting against the PO. I also tried applying these setting for all parts in the multi-level structure. The capability check still was not netting against the excess supply / PO. IFS documentation states the netting applies to both excess inventory and excess supply quantities. Does this hold true for DOP Netting and Capability Check Netting? Is there another setting / field I

hi,In version 10 we have this option here called ‘IFS interface browser”:  when I open it I’m able to see example files for companies who works EDI for example, receiving customer schedules etc. I dont see this option in CLoud, even the last one, 25R1:​​​​how do I access this interface browser in CLoud? thanks, 

Hi, When defining the storage capacity requirement group, there is an assistant for defining the quantity per location based on the location volume.The calculation here is then recorded into the ‘Qty Per Volume’ field in the main page.However, when fetching these values into the table, there seems to be another calculation happening from the framework side. When examining the query, value is being divided by 1 and fetched to the table,Any insight into why this is happening from both a functional and technical standpoint would be much appreciated. Thanks, and regards,Randev

We are seeing an issue where Kanban creates a Transport Task for parts when there is adequate in the work area floor location.  This is not a repeating request, it only creates one Transport Task that is not needed so the warehouse team end up essentially doubling the max quantity of floor material which in some areas is not possible.We are using forwarding for the parts to the work floor, such that when the kanban runs it for a part needed at location X, it creates a Transport Task from the warehouse to the staging area, and then as soon as that Transport Task is executed IFS automatically creates another Transport Task to location X.  This is working fine apart from the fact that it creates this single extra TT for each part flowing through the staging area.After stepping through the code we can see that IFS is not looking at the floor area to calculate the quantity the parts of hand, it is looking at the staging area instead. Example:Floor area X has physical quantity of 20 IFS also

Is Group/Sum option in Advanced Search functionality available in IFS Cloud version? There are several topics posted covering this topic. As the below entries were few years old, I was hoping something might have changed in between. Can I know that, will this Group/Sum option included in upcoming cloud version. If it is already available, is there any material on how this is done?Missing Group/Sum option in IFS Cloud #GSDTECH# | IFS CommunityAdvanced search (i.e. group, count, sum, etc) | IFS Community One of IFS customers has raised this question again and In App9 & App10 user had the possibility to conduct advanced searches by grouping values and summarizing values in table views. They wants to know whether this will be included in a release in the near future. Business Impact: User will have to use longer methods to find information that is required. Thank You & Best Regards,

Dear All Hope you are doing great - ready for the weekend. Just checking if someone is using a setup in IFS where we can hide some parts according to the part description  [containing part description text **DO NOT USE** for instance] . For instance, we have obsolete parts at N-Sea with the part status obsolete or inactive. But still cannot hide them when creating demands on projects. IFS will of course not let us create demands for such part statuses. But ideally I want to hide those parts when fetched onto a list of values. I tried several configurations like custom fields and saved searches according to the status. But seems hiding them on new demands are not supported. Of course I might be able to do this with a customization in IFS. But before that, I am trying to figure out if I have missed a trick. Happy Weekend! Asela

HI,    I have entered a value in the MRP Spare Part Forecast to create demand for the part. However, when I try to enter a Customer Order with a quantity higher than the forecast quantity, the system does not allow me to save the line. What is the functionality of this validation, and is there a way to bypass it without modification?  Regards Yukthila

In product update “24R2 - News in Supply Chain” it says that is possible to load handling units with non-inventory parts. But I just can’t figure out how i can connect a non-inventory part from a shipment to a handling unit. Can anyone help? 

Hi guys, Is there a way of change the promise delivery date for all lines at once? For example, when we update the WANTED DELIVERY DATE on CUSTOMER ORDER, it ask us if we want to change all CUSTOMER ORDER LINE WANTED DELIVERY DATE.Thanks, Gianni Neves

Hi,how IFS can support scenario:inventory part was issued and connected to project activity via material requisition Project was finished and closed After some time issued part will be decommissioned and return to inventory for refurbishment (repair). Once repaired it should be put back to stock with 0 price and be ready for use in another projectHow to create return in IFS that is not linked to material requisition (due to project being closed), receive return into inventory (not ready for picking), and once part is repaired move it to regular stock (ready for picking)?thanks in advance for help

Hello,I have a question and hope someone can answer it for me.Is there a way to prevent an HU from being transferred from stock inventory to shipment inventory when report the picking?Example:Reserve the quantity of 5 pcs on the Handling Unit with the Handling Unit ID1234 / On the Handling Unit ID 1234 is a quantity on hand 5 pcs Create a pick list in the shipment Report the picking of the 5 pcs from the Handling Unit 1234 in WaDaCo with REPORT_PICKING_PART without an shipment Handling Unit Then, the Handling Unit 12345 is transfered into the shipment inventory The Problem is, we are creating the mixed pallets after the picking and I don’t want to unattach the Parts after picking befor connect with the correct Handling Unit.Thank you, for you help.Hannah

I have supplier consingment parts in stock. When I am using transport task to move these parts I don't get the option to consume the Cosignment Part. Is there a setup I'm missing? Thank u in advanced!24r1

Is there a simple way of processing Supplier Consignment stock invoices? Currently we provide the consumption reports to the suppliers but to match the invoices when they come through we have to search for all the different part and PO numbers and tick line by line what to match. This could be across multiple invoices and POs. Is there a function whereby you can select the receipts to match based on the consumption/reported date? With the aim that we’d request the supplier provide 1 invoice per consumption report.
