 Hi All, Could anyone please explain why my ‘explanation forecast’ is not matching with the demand planner client result. Here I am using least square forecast model. My system forecast is almost matching with the demand planner client.I have gone through all the documents which are shared in IFS community portals on this topic, but no luck.Even IFS help on these topics are not sufficient. So, any pointer towards this is highly appreciated!!!    @Sangeetha Jayamaha @Janandi Vishaka @Rasika Lakmal @Deshani Gunasinghe @Yasas Kasthuriarachchi @Thilini Aluthweediya @HoiChanaP @HoiAnushB 

Hi All,Can some explain why my error measurements MAE, MAPE, MSE are not matching with demand planning client. I have taken the same demand & forecast into excel to do calculation. Also, could please let me know the formula to calculate PVE??My calculations are exactly matching with the demand Planning client in error graph   

When I go to General tab in shipment window, I observed that the Net weight and Gross weight are different in an abnormal way.  Any solutions why the Net Weight and Gross Weights are different. Note: Usually Net weight and Gross weight should be same or Gross weight should be greater than Net Weight. 

Can anyone tell me what the “operative value” of density (Tab Manufacturing in Inventory Part) is used for? I am aware of what the density of a material or liquid is. However, I have no clue why this value is relevant in an ERP system? Who needs the value for what purpose? 

Any idea what could be the reason when in one customer environment create order proposals doesn’t create anything?

Morning All, We are running IFS Apps 10 and have just received a query as to whether tabs within certain screens can be rearranged for the users convenience? For example within the Inventory Part screen, the user would like to see the Characteristics Tab first. Thanks

DescriptionCheck who is allowed to change status based on the actual status. how does process/workflow and impact looks like in detail. Please take a look at the attached image. The question we got: is it possible to user permissions e.g. on a customer order, based on the status of that order?So for instance, in the status planned only the User 1 can edit, in the status released only user 2 can edit.  

Good Afternoon, Is there a good way to find the annual qty issued for past years (2018, 2019, 2020, YTD) or does a report need to be built? I know there is the average issues per period but then i have to manually throw that report into excel to get the sum of each year. Going to be doing this for almost 2000 parts so would love an easier way if possible.

Hello Everyone,Today we currently have users create purchase requisitions, authorize through PO req rules, then create a purchase order from the requisition.  We also have users directly create PO’s thus bypassing the authorization rules, not following the procedure.  Therefore, is there a way in IFS to not allow PO creation other than by the Purchase Req. process?  Thanks!Mark 

We have an issue with the freight interface working with Fedex software.   It will not scan to pop in an account number for the customer’s freight account.  It keeps defaulting to sender rather than recipient if there is an account number on the freight info of the order.    The logistics team is having to over ride the sender to recipient and add the freight account in manually. 

hi sirIn app10 upd15 and upd16 aurena.in the supplier address window,  there is no address detail is it a bug ？ 

Does anyone know how to clear old customer and supplier schedules from the table?  We have added values in the Customer and Supplier Schedule Agreement Part record for ´Old Plans to keep´. In my test example I set the value to 50 but after running the MRP we have 273 record in the overview. I guess there need to be some kind of cleanup task that will clear old customer and supplier schedules but I cannot find any matching database task. Any ideas?  Thank you.Josefin  

When a user creates a material requisition for a  particular site, is a transport task automatically created for this material requisition? 

Hello All, is there any screen showing materials falling under safety stock in IFS 10 App.     

How do you all use the “ship via” field on your customer and purchase orders? Generic or Actual Name of the Carrier?BackgroundWe’re implementing now and I cannot wrap my head around the implications of using the field with precise carrier information; rather, more generalized like “OTR” for Over The Road or “ITM” for Intermodal or “BW” for Best Way / etc.The business is leaning toward precision, but we don’t typically pick the method and it can (albeit seldom) change the day of customer pickup, for example… and we have over a 100 carriers / the list changes / defaults on the customer change, too.  Thank you,

I’m trying to understand how the over supply and the remove order messages (in MRP Actions Proposal) are calculated ? What parameters are taken into account to generate these messages? Thank you 

Hi everyone, My client asked for an event action to block modification on the supplier and the client whenever there is no approval routing under process, and this event action is set up.However, they have 500 companies, so we are setting up a replication job of data migration : whenever a company is created, it is added to the company elements of the supplier and the client (based on a “master company”). However, this replication job might not work with the event action that were set up.Two questions :Do you know if this replication job of data migration can bypass this action event, so even if there is no approval routing and the modification is impossible, the data are replicated? Or on the contrary, is it possible to say on the event action, block the modification except if it comes from a data migration job?Thanks in advance

If a part is already in stock in a Picking Location Group can the part be moved to a Quality Assurance Location Group?(looking at prior chats, there is always reference to receipt, this is post receipt, when the part is in stock and being used at a Picking Location) For Stock Items we are currently using Quality Named “Picking” locations with Availability Control IDs. Groups have complained the part still shows in the Quantity Available in “Inventory Part Availability Planning screen” when a part is being Quarantined.

Hi, Please help me to understand the meaning of total purchase cost in 12 months lobby.I have attached the screenshot as well.Thanks,Parul

Community,Wondering we need Customer Portal or Supplier Portal or both, we are on APP10 UPD 9.Our company has limited capacity though rocket high customer orders. so corporate decide to move one new product manufacturing to US site. The US site in MN does not use IFS, they are using Oracle.I think the best solution, would be either a new site or a new company, but that’s really time consuming. we prefer to set up US site as an external supplier/customer, utilize shop order subcontract work center, and purchased part supplier material to ship the material to the US site - remote warehouse.we would like US site to access IFS via B2B portal, so question here, for US site, which B2B portal we should purchase from IFS, basically, US site will do goods receiving for the materials shipped from us, and also, US site will be our subcontract supplier from out shop orders.Thank you.

Can a default requiristioner be assigned at the site level? When I make a requisition, it defaults my user, however, we want a generic requiristioner in most of our reqs. See image.
