Is there any documentation for IFS Cloud Subcontracting which explains the overall process where subcontracting is connecting to Projects and Procurement. Thanks

24R2. I have a Shipment that resulted from one Shipment Order where both Sender and Receiver of Type = Site. I used the Create Consolidated Pick List for Shipment process to try to create pick lists by Storage Zone. It does not create any pick lists, but the background process also does not fail. If I use Customer Order instead of Shipment Order, same lines, same process, the pick lists are created.

We can’t understand the price in the supplier purchase price list when we set up a price convertion factor in the supplier for purchase part. Example 1: Price setup in the supplier for purcahse part (CORRECT RESULT) Purchase Part with a Price of 10£ Price Covertion Factor = 100 When we run a Price comparaison for a quantity of 1 PCS, we get the price = 0.10£ =10$/100 whitch is CORRECT. Example 2 : Price setup in the Supplier Price list (WRONG RESULT) The problem here is when we open the “Supplier for Purchase Part Price Lists” overview page below, we can’t understand the price, because it shows a unit price of 10£ and there is no information that a price convertion exist! This is very problematique because a wrong price value can be used when purcahse pricing are reviewed. As a suggested solution: We should at least add the Price convertion factor info to the “Supplier for Purchase Part Price Lists” overview page Also having a calculated price using the price conv factor in a new field

is it possible to create PO auth routing based on Commodity Code/Group.?

Hi What is the best inventory planning method for high-cost, low-demand items that I only want to purchase when a mechanic creates a real demand for them? Thank you all

Hello! My customer is looking for a more efficient way to search for parts within the assortment and perform mass updates. Today they are searching for the parts by Parts by assortment to find the parts and get the Assortment node. Then they copy the Assortment nodes and use them in Assortment attributes and from this view they can perform mass updates. Although there is a limit here for data and change without getting a time out. I would like to know how others work with assortment and mass updates, I have limited knowledge in this area and I can´t find any documentation :) Thanks! BR Emma

Has anyone experienced issues with Purchase Req Authorisation allowing a user to Authorise a Purchase Req (from project) which exceeded their “Max Amount” for PR limit? Rule is set to retrieve Project Sub-Project Manager as authoriser. Rule correctly retrieved on Purchase Req. Routing Template uses Project Role We are on 23R1.10 Any thoughts/suggestions gratefully received!

Hi, I am wondering whether anyone have come across any good solution to handle pack sizes in relation to IFS Part No? This situation should be familiar to many IFS Customers:We have a part, e.g. “Paint” that is setup in IFS with UoM (Litre/Liter → l). The paint can be bought in different Sizes: 1L 2L 3L 5L We are aware that you can purchase in a different UoM, e.g. JAR/PKG and set the conversation rates e.g. 5 to 1 in 5L JAR, when received increases the Inventory Qty to 5L. All good so far, but the challenge is that you: Only can have 1 Supplier for Purchase Part for a given Supplier Only one Purchase Part per Supplier In an ideal worlds it should have worked as the Sales Part, where you can have multiple Sales Part per Inventory Part, as this can be soled in different ways. The alternative as I see (but would like to hear if anyone else done something cleaver): Have a IFS Part No per Pack Size Really don’t think this is ideal. Use different UoM on Supplier for Purchase Part (unique pe

Hello, I’m trying to update in a BPA worklow in the MaterialRequisition the Note on the MaterialRequisitionLine, but it does not work. (No error in the inspector, everything is fine) Is the NoteText maybe stored somewhere else because what me worry is the NoteId. For what is this used if not as a reference to another tabel/entity. If so, can you tell me this entity, please? Or do you have another clue to store notes for me?Many thanks! ...luname : "MaterialRequisLine" ▽ MaterialRequisitionSet_Set : [ ▽ { Company : "xxx" LabelCodenoA : "Account" NoteText : null DateEntered : "02/12/2024" ▽ keyref : "ORDER_CLASS_DB=INT^ORDER_NO=456^" OrderNo : "456" IntCustomerNo : "9999" StatusCode : "Released" DestinationId : null StatusChangeAllowed : true TotalValue : 1.95 CreatedByUserId : "HGRUBEN" PreAccountingId : 7162 DueDate : "02/12/2024" NoteId : 271746 InternalDestination : null Objgrants : null OrderClass : "INT" DocumentText : false...

Hello, I often get the same question from our customers: "We want to be able to redeliver or invoice on the original order". Example: I create a sales order, I invoice and I have to issue a credit note because I made a price or qty error. I issue a credit note but I want to start again from the initial sales order. We agree that in iFS you can't reopen a sales order that's already been invoiced. thank you for your help

Hi all, I am trying to calculate the part cost for an alternate different than ’*’. I have set up a product structure with alternate ‘*’ and alternate ‘1’. For testing purposes, both alternates have the same components. Both alternates have the buildable status. When I calculate the cost set 5 for alternate ‘*’, no problem is found, and the cost is correctly calculated. When I try to calculate cost set 5 for alternate ‘1’, I get the message that ‘Manufacturing/Purchase Structure is not found’. In the message log i see that ‘No Buildable/Plannable Structure Revision Found’ The structure exists and is in buildable state. Am I missing something? Is there anyone used to work with cost calculation for different alternates who has been through this issue before? Regards

We received a weighted average costed part with a Supplier Invoice Consideration that is Transaction Based. The wrong price was on the original PO and we sold the parts to a customer. The Detailed Statistics screen is showing the sale price with the wrong cost field. The PO cost was updated and the supplier invoice was posted and processed to reflect the change in price. On the Inventory Transaction page, we can see the change in the costs and the appropriate accounting entries to reflect the change in the Cost of Good Sold account. However, we run the Detailed Statistics nightly, and the invoice in question, has not had the cost updated as reflected in the journal entry. Is there something we can do to update the Detail Statistics - Invoiced Sales data. We export this data into a Power BI data warehouse to run reports and this one is not reflected correctly.

Usage of Tax class to get the correct tax code is not working logically in ‘Int Purch Dir’ Scenario. The external customer order retrieves the incorrect tax code corresponding to the final customer delivery country instead of internal customer order delivery country. Any suggested workaround for this? IPD tax information in Customer does not work when two sites belong same company.

Hi, I am currently having trouble with shortage handling in IFS Cloud. I’m trying to get the shortage notification to appear when I place a Customer Order in the scenario where there is no stock available to fulfill the order. I have enabled the Shortage Notification toggle on the Inventory Part and the Shortage Handling toggle on the Parameters for Supply Chain and Manufacturing page. I have checked to make sure there was no quantity on hand and also see the orders with shortages on the Handle Customer Order Shortages page. Is there anything I’m missing for this message to appear? Any help is appreciated!

Hello everyone, I would like to know what is the best use of the “Product family” field. The IFS standard description tells us that it is used “to group parts into product structures”. Does this mean that if I create a product family “A” that is also a finished item and associate it with this family, I can group all the semi-finished (manufactured) items that make it up? Also, in the help, they talk about grouping at level 0 in the master production plan. Can you explain this to me in detail? Thanks in advance

Hi All, We are using Aurena on the Tablets but the problem we are facing is adjusting the column width (e.g. Part description is not completely visible) and unable to adjust the width manually on tab. Any Advise to fix this issue?

Hi Team, I want to change authorizer under Purchase order because when I try to release it, system is generating an error that you are not a authorizer. (Product Version:23R2)

Hello, Our team manages refill putaway zones for tech vans in our remote warehouse setup. Recently, we added storage zones and multiple inventory locations within the remote warehouse, allowing each tech to have assigned bins for replenished parts. Previously, running the refill for each van took just a few minutes. However, since adding the storage zones, each scheduled refill now takes over an hour to execute. We refill 40 vans twice a week on different days (Monday to Thursday, starting in the evening), but the refill process often carries over into work hours, which disrupts our team’s daily functions as they wait for scheduled tasks to complete. To address this, I created a separate batch queue configuration for the refill putaway zone. However, I believe that pulling from our main inventory is causing delays by interrupting parts reservations for customer orders and work tasks. Is there a specific system configuration or optimization that could help speed up the refill putaway zo

When the Supply Code is Inventory Order, we can Unreserve the line through Reserve Manually option by giving the negative Reserve Qty. But when the Supply Code is Purchase Order, we can not see that Unreserve option in the line level. Can somebody explain me the logic behind this? Thank You!

Does an over tolerance exist for shipping customer orders where, for example, the order is for 10k but production made 10,100? We want to ship the full 10,100 as the customer will take it, but are looking for an automated way to define the over shipment tolerance. Thank you for your input! Robin

Hello All, I have set up a part as a Supplier Schedule. It is creating the Supplier Schedule correctly when I run MRP. I now have set up the part as a Master Scheduled part, but when I try to run the Master Schedule I get the following error. What might be the problem? See image below:

Hi, We are introducing IFS Cloud and have tested our first EDI message, receiving this into our system. When this has came in, the Vendor code, which is on the XML message from our customer has transferred to the “Customer Agreement Cross Reference” field. When trying to receive the EDI into Cloud, the message stopped until we removed the Vendor code from this field in “Incoming customer schedule” Does anyone know why this would transfer into this field? We currently use Apps 09 and the Vendor Code comes in the same XML format and does not effect receiving EDI. Thank You

We are trying to run DDMRP on manufactured and purchased parts. The quantity calculation is perfect, and is lifting the stock out of the yellow zone, with a requisition due in 13 days time (the lead time). However, it is ignoring any other requirements further out in time - here there are two orders, one due in March, and the other in May. I would like to see req's for these as well as they will then become part of the Machine Load per work centre. Without this, sudden capacity demands may be invisible until the order date reaches the lead time.

Dear, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request assistance regarding the "Address Setup" configuration. I have encountered an issue with the character limit, where it seems possible for a user to input up to 100 characters in the "Use Defined Row Length" and "Max Row Length" fields. However, when attempting to enter 36 characters or more, the system does not allow it, and I receive an error message regarding character overflow only up to 70 characters. Given that the limit is set to 100 characters, shouldn't the system allow the input based on the defined limits? Could you kindly clarify the reason behind this behavior and provide guidance on how to resolve it?What is Thank you in advance for your support.
