Supply Chain

One specific user is causing this issue (so far) - when this specific user is the main representative on a Business Opportunity - when a manager tries to Approve the Business Opportunity we get the error “The Foundation1 user “SM4124” does not exist” I checked the user set up and the person record and everything looks fine We are on Apps10 UPD10

Hi All,I am looking into whether APPS10 - 10.10.17.0 is able to publish the Inventory parts list into the AURENA B2B portal. We have a need for suppliers to research parts numbers to ensure they are registered or not when creating artefacts which are submitted to our team. Currently we use a set of configurations to handle the artefacts using the No Part requisition functions but the intention would be to capture reused parts and add then into inventory. This is why we would need to have the supplier be able to see what has been added so we don’t continue to process via No Part functionality. Thanks in advance.

Hi , we have requirement of printing Label from IFS apps 10.we need to develop new report and it should print to zebra printer label.is this possible..? what are the additional steps while creating order report ..?basic pre-requisition for this ..?  

I am looking to enhance the data for a packing list using the SHIPMENT_PACKING_LIST_REP.When I view the data populated using the SQL query tool the information populated in the fields do not match the header. Example - The ‘Warehouse’ header shows the Incoterm in the field;Is the SHIPMENT_PACKING_LIST_REP a reliable base for an enhanced document? 

We like to register a number in the W/D/R field before the Transport Order is received, thus we don't need to go back into every single line in IPIS to assign the number to every part line. When a Transport Order is received at a warehouse every box is assigned a receipt number. The box may contain 1 or many IPIS lines, so a TO may be given several different receipt numbers. To enter these after the TO is received and closed is really not a sustainable option for our logistics operation. By making the update before the TO is received would be a much better option.

I would like to know how to get a list of products have been sold in 1 year in order to establish a safety stock in IFSapp 8. I don´t know if explain correctly.

Hi, We are trying to upload forecasts via a migration job, but firstly we should remove all the existing forecasts. I didn’t find a procedure which can be used to do the removal, can anyone instruct me how to do this? Many thanks. 

We are trying to combine some transport tasks.  On the Transport Task we want to use, we select the Available Single lines Tab and find the Transport Task we want to combine.  When we RMB and select Move a Current Transport Task, we get the following error: We compare the transport task and all the information between the two Transport Tasks Match (Activity ID, Activity Sequence, Activity Description, Project ID, etc) Has anyone else experienced this error?  We are on App10 Update 8. Thanks,Gregg

Is there a basic data setup that makes the system use Sales Part Cross Reference.  We have recently upgraded to VS10 and did not have to use this in VS8.  How do we stop this error occurring - ORA-20110: ExternalCustOrderLine.CUSTOMERPARTNOERROR: Customer's part number ****** does not exist in sales part cross reference.  

Hello IFS Community,We had added holidays and needed to update our calendars to reflect the new holidays. This caused all of our customers order to auto update. We discovered that this caused all of our customer orders to auto update.  This is not what we expected or wanted and caused a major problem and for us to go back and correct all customer order lines that were affected.There may have been other factors that may have caused this. Not only did we add new holidays and regenerate the calendars but the day prior, we also updated some of our expected lead times. Also, we use Availability Check on our inventory parts.Can anyone tell me if they have had these issues and what they do to to ensure the customer order lines to do not auto update?Thank you, Michelle 

Hello friends! We have recently implemented IFS as our new ERP while being a relatively small company - our main activity is distributing products, we do not use the manufacturing module.For us the process of delivering a customer order is a bit too complicated and some automatic functionalities create chaos in the shipment area. When thinking of best solutions to have it all under control, I came to the conclusion that the settings we have now - pick list automatically created - is causing this chaos. I however don’t know how to turn off this function. Anyone here can help out with a simple solution? It is probably easy once you know where to look for it in the navigator :) Thank you! PS. I put this question in Supply Chain sub forum - it’s my first time here, so sorry if this is incorrect! :)

Hi,In below picture (picture 1) I can choose between different languages in IFS. I would like to be able to have the same options when I am printing out for example a customer invoice. But I only get a few options when I want to print (picture 2). Is there any possibility to change this so I get to choose between the same languages as in picture 1?Picture1Picture 2Thank you! Best regards,Erla Sandholt

Good Morning Community,  Is there a way to create a Transport Task within a Customer Order in either the planned or released status that allows for a direct Peg to be achieved?  I see an order Ref option in the Transport Task screen but cannot get a direct connection.  This could also apply to Work Orders or Shop Orders as well. Thank You

Hello Community,We are using IFS 8.In Work order ,while saving the line in Posting we are getting the below message.Need to know why this message is coming.Please help. 

Hi, Is it correct that the cost that is showing in the sales quotation, is not linked with the cost of the connected estimate? This is the flow:I start a sales quotation. I add a sales quotation line with a certain part that I want to modify. I select the line, and create an estimate. In the Estimate, I do my thing, change the part, add a markup, calculate and confirm. Afterwards, I update the connected objects. The new sales price is now shown in the sales quotation line. However, as I now have a new cost for my product (from the estimate), I would like it to be seen in the sales quotation as well. The info is in the estimate, with the margin calculation and everything, however in the sales quotation I still have the ‘old’ cost, from the original part. Is there something I need to do extra to have the ‘new’ cost? It’s important as my margin calculation is also not correct.

Hi, Is there a way to include purchase orders for non-inventory parts in the automatic processing? What we are aiming for is purchases order in status planned to be automatically released with the automatic order processing.  This is the window for defining the automatic order processing jobs. The only “wildcard” we have found being accepted in the part no field is %. However, % means “any value” and non inventory PO-lines does not have any inv part no value at all.  We use IFS app 10, upd 12.  Thanks in advance! 

I have set up a shipment using a customer order for 1000 units. I need to send this to the customer by three stages; 300 units on date x, 300 units on date y and the remaining on date z. Although I have reserved and picked the goods, and completed the shipment,  I don’t see an option to deliver the goods on different dates. 

Hi,Can anyone say, which data from the purchase part and supplier for purchase part that is used in the MRP? Or is everything coming from then Inventory part?BRAnders

Most customers have needs to have a grading for suppliers. Supplier Reliability and Supplier Quality are good parameters for categorization. Like your expert advice and ideas on how customers have mapped this. The need for most customers to have a supplier grading. Your knowledge and feedback is much appreciated.   

Dear Community, Can anyone guide me how to use alternate part functionality in Purchase Order. I checked Purchase order line RMB, there is a option called Add/Change Alternate Parts...How to use this option  

​We have an issue in the data transfer from the Inventory Part window (frmInventoryPart)  to the Part window (frmPartCatalog) If we defined part number with a comma (ex: TEST,Part01) it converts to a dot (.) symbol (ex: TEST.Part01) when transferring data. The result was not populating the Part window and it shows as empty.The reason for this is its defined decimal Symbol as comma (,)So can we instruct the customer to change it to dot (.)?will it affect other functional behaviors of the application? -Kelum

How can i request for certification or training in ifs

When the user creates a Customer order with a wanted delivery date beyond the 60 day horizon, she gets a warning saying “Wanted date is more than 60 days from today’s date”. Is there a way (through basic data settings or parameters) to customize or eliminate this message altogether since we quite often load orders with the wanted delivery date beyond the 60 days horizon? Thanks
