Supply Chain

When creating a PO in IFS to an external vendor with PO Inventory Lines all set to customer owned, upon receipt IFS does not create a liability to the external vendor. I understand that the customer owned inventory will hit the balance sheet a zero dollars, BUT I do have a liability to pay my external vendor for the parts. Shouldn’t IFS handle this like it does of external service orders for inventory parts? Upon receipt of those inventory PO’s IFS posts the M91/M92. But these customer owned inventory PO lines that I am purchasing from an external vendor not creating a liability seems to me fundamentally wrong.

Is there any functionality that can implement for Apps 7 which will allow to scan a part, then scan the shelf location, which would them update the inventory part record if IFS? I suspect this may be functionality that is supplied from a 3rd party vendor. If so, can you supply any contact information so that we can contact them? Would this require any type of modification from IFS???

Hi, does anyone know how to create a warehouse task from transport task? (I’m using APPS 10) and for warehouse task, does it only support the link to: transport task, shop order pick, customer order pick? how about customer order delivery ?

Hi, On the sales part it is possible to set a minimum sales qty, but is it also possible to set the sales qty as a fixed multiple. For example, you can only order multiples of 100 (100 - 200 - 300 -...) and not 250 for example? I would think there would be a standard field for something like this but I can’t seem to find it.

Is it possible to print the handling unit labels directly once you have done the register arrival process in CloudR1? Seems like you need to do it from receipt or from the handling unit view.

Hi, Is there a way to set a quantity level of a part (like safety stock in inventory part level in overall) in a specific location, so that refilling of the part to that location will be triggered, only when the qty of the part falls under a specific qty in that location ? For an example, part A is there in location X and location Y, and location X need to be refilled from location Y, only of the qty of part A in location X is under 10. IS there a standard functionality achieve this. Any way to achieve this ? I have tried putaway zones functionality, by ranking the storage zone for location X, above storage zone for the location Y, and after running/scheduling the task “Refill All Putaway Zones”, a transport task is created to move all the qty in location Y to location X, since I have not defined any storage requirement restrictions. Thank you in advance !

Hi All, Im trying to use the RMB 'Pack According to Packing Instruction' from the Inventory Part in Stock window, but it is greyed out. From the looks of it, the only reason i can think of is because it is an 'Arrival' location type. This is the same for location types of 'Quality Assurance’. Am i correct or am i missing something here? Any thoughts? We are using Apps10, UPD 11. Regards, Arunalu

Currently working with a client who uses customer consignment heavily - all of the items are serialised. The demand site to the customer does not hold stock, so the stock is being transferred to the demand site via an internal purchase transit order line from the supply site, to the demand site. If the customer then decides to return the consignment item we are handling this on an RMA from the customer back to the original demand site (consumption needs to be done before the RMA). This part works fine without issues. However, I am having issues returning the item from the demand site back to the supply site. I have tried to do this using a return on the inter-site PO and also via an RMA and neither work. When using the return on the PO the error states “Subsequent transactions on the serial part XXXX prevent the reversal of this receipt”. When using the RMA back to to the supply site I get the following error “It is not allowed to return in to inventory serial part XXXXX in status In I

Hi Team, I have raised a PO against a Supplier who belongs to Switzerland i.e. in currency CHF. The Purchase Charge Types that will be added once we receive the goods are represented in currency INR. So, when I am adding the required Charge Type under Charges tab, I am not getting the correct Total Gross incl Chrg/Curr amount ex: I have added a Part Order Line which results in Total Net Amt/Curr as 50 CHF. I have added below charges types in Charges Tab: Custom Duty- Rs 100 Freight Charges-Rs 500 & Custom Clearance- Rs 200 Now I am getting the Total Gross incl Chrg/Curr amount as 850 which is incorrect. The Charges should be converted to CHF before adding into Total Net Amt/Curr. Request you to please help me in this. Thanks in Advance. Best Regards, Rakesh

In this scenario, though there are on hand stock above the Order point and lead time is met, still Purchase requisitions are created in the system. There are reserved shop orders. Can anyone please explain the reason for creating the PR from Order proposal in this scenario. Any relation with Inventory part Planning?

Hi, Does anyone have experience with this: Is this only for Customer Order reservation? Customer try if this working for “Kanban Replenishment Request”, it means the creation for transport task but it is not working. Many thanks. Regards Can

Hi, According to the standard functionality, definitions mentioned that a stock cannot be transferred from Company-owned to Supplier-owned. Is there any advisable methods / options available which can be used if a business / customer needs to do this? Thanks!

Hi, A step of the putaway algoritm is to list all possible locations where a part could be stored. Could we see that list? So if I receive a part, I want to have a list of all possible locations where that part could be stared (so matching capacities, capabilities, enough free space, etc)

Hello, We are in the process of finalizing WaDaCo picking, but there is an issue with the flow following our Order Type first. Example: Use configuration REPORT_PICKING_PART, complete scanning, save. Next process is Delivery Order, then Create Delivery Note The Sales Basic Data - Order Types is set to flow through Delivery Order and proceed to Create Delivery Note. When I do this via the desktop client, it works fine. When doing this after picking on the scanner, it stops at Deliver Order and we have to perform it manually. Order Type flow Is there a way to use the scanner to pick, save and proceed directly to Create Delivery Note?

Can someone tell me what this warning message is and how to solve it?

Is there a way to schedule the Supplier Reliability Statistics from within IFS? I know how to create them manually, but I would like to automate the updating of the statistics and don’t see a way to do it in the system. Is the only option an external job to call the API?
