Version 22.2.1I have a sales part/inventory part setup for Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date.The customer order line Planned Ship Date/Time = 12/30/22 2:00 PM.I do not have a Delivery Route configured for this.The customer order line Planned Due Date = 12/30/22 12:00 AM. I expected this to also be 12/30/22 2:00 PM.Is a Delivery Route required to have the Planned Due Date correspond to the Planned Ship Date/Time? 

In IFS, it is possible to use the same part as a Manufactures part as well as a Purchased part. For this we need to setup the basic data needed to use the part as a Manufactured and Purchased part.In business, there can be occasions that a decision needs to be taken whether to manufacture or purchase the part. IFS also has supported this in different functional flows in the application.For example, when entering a Customer Order Line, it is possible to change the Supply Code as Shop Order (if manufactured) or as Purch Order Trans / Direct (if purchased from an external supplier). Or a Shop Order Requisition can be transferred to a Purchase Requisition.But reporting Intrastat for this kind of part can be a problem when there is a requirement to use “Region Code”. For example, in Germany Region Code should be used.According to German legislation regarding EU Trade, if a part is imported from a foreign EU country (purchased), Region Code

Is there a way to set up order lines on the same customer order to be assigned to separate shipment ID’s using a Shipment Type or some other setting during a mass reservation (by planned ship date) without manually reserving and creating a pick list for each order line separately.   For example, I have customer order M12345, with line/del 1/1, 2/1 and 3/1 all shipping on 12/10/22.   I need each line to be on their own shipment ID.  I have the shipment type set as NP (Create new Shipment at Picklist Creation).  If I reserve and create picklists for all customer order lines due to ship on 12/10/22 without knowing this specific order needs to have each line on a separate shipment, IFS automatically assigns all 3 lines to one shipment ID.  However, if I had 3 separate customer orders, one line each with a shipment type of NP, IFS would automatically assign each line to a separate shipment.

Would like to have the ability to manually peg parts that are moving in a transport task.  It would be helpful and save time when once the part is ‘moved’, to know where the part is allocated.  Right now the only option is to peg to a customer order.

Is there any way I can get data from IFS (Aurena) in Power BI? 

Why isn't the Count Report No included in the success message when creating a count report? What’s the point in not including it?

We are trying to start up Tolerance Checks for some of our Customer Schedules. We have added a template to the Agreement Part and the Agreement Part has Automatic Tolerance Check Method and also Approval Method set to Unconditional due to that we are only running the tolerance check for statistical purposes.  When new schedules are released, we get no result in the Result tab of the schedule. Have we missed something in the settings or why are we not getting a result?  

Hello, I have a different picking lead time for each product family. Except that I can't enter this information on IFS, I can either enter it on the site in the "Inventory" tab or in the supply chain matrix which is based on the delivery information but does not take into account the product family. Do you know by any chance a method to enter a picking lead time for each product family? Thank you.Lina

Hi, Can we restrict a specific supplier to a site or sites? Thank you and best regards,

On Customer Orders on our IFS PROD environment, the “Cost” column on Order Lines is being set to zero for materials that are added even though there is a cost present for the material.I can’t tell if it is occurring when the line is added or after that. I haven’t seen it occur myself but it is happening for employees. It is happening randomly and for different materials. There is no custom event or database job that would cause this, I checked.Can anyone guess what this might be?

Is it possible to capacity plan MS supply? 

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 o

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

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 thous

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 😀
