Consolidated Incoming Dispatch Advice against Multiple Suppliers

Dear Connections,In IFS’ standard cloud application, the Incoming Dispatch Advice is not particularly helpful when working with inbound sea freight operations. We have a requirement from one of our customers, where the customer procures material from overseas suppliers. As transit times via ocean vessels are quite uncertain these days, the final arrival date at the warehouse often changes. In this scenario, our customer wants to track the inbound shipment status.Additionally, a single vessel may contain multiple orders from multiple suppliers. However, in IFS, we do not find an option to perform receipt for multiple orders from different suppliers within a single shipment or dispatch advice. This is because the standard Incoming Dispatch Advice functionality only supports multiple orders from a single supplier.Is this something on the Road Map for the future IFS cloud releases?I appreciate your comments and suggestions on this.

DOP calendar

We’re having an issue where the Shop Order and DOP-order time schedule won't align and I’m suspecting that the DOP-order is connect to the calendar defined in the project, rather than the Work Centers defined on each operation in the DOP-order. Could someone please confirm this and if it’s possible to manually connect a DOP-order to a different calendar than the one chosen in the project?

Capability Check is not working for Project Connected Customer Orders

Hi Experts,I have an issue when I run the capability check for project connected customer orders. I think this was supported until 21R1 but found below community post that indicate this is no longer available from 22R1 onwards.But not sure whether there were any other information on this but when I run to perform capability check on non project connected customer order it works fine and then when I connect that customer order line for a project activity, dates suggested by the capability check is getting moved back to the original date alone with below message. But I cannot run the capability check again as it shows as “No commands available” The message is misleading and anyone has any thoughts or comments on this.Why did IFS removed this capability from the project connected customer orders? Anyone know how to overcome this please?Thanks,Chamath

PO Line Amount Changes After Receipt

We recently discovered that a user received a PO line and then changed the PO line amount afterward. I was surprised to see that IFS allowed this, as I expected the system to lock the line once a receipt was processed. As a result, we now have a mismatch: the vendor tab reflects the updated amount (6,980), but the GL still shows the original amount (9,040), which makes sense since the financial postings were created at the time of receipt. My questions are:  Is IFS supposed to allow changes to PO line amounts after a receipt has been made? If so, how can we prevent or restrict this in our system to avoid financial discrepancies?  We’re using IFS Apps 10. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Attached Documents - Supplier Request to Supplier

Cloud 24R1 - The need is Supplier Request document attachments to be brought over to the Supplier record when created from the Supplier Request.I tried creating an OCT as per the screen shot. The Supplier_ID key does exist in the SupplierRequest, but I think it's not working as it's a populated field instead of a Key field. When I run the test, it states it has “passed” however the Source Key populates with REQUEST_ID, not SUPPLIER_ID.Any solution here? Or not a feasible solution?

24R2 - Customer Order Line - Add New

Upon saving a Customer Order Header, I’ve noticed that the ‘Add New’ or ‘+’ no longer automatically appears on the Lines tab.Users must select the page refresh which then loads the icon.Is this a designed functionality change from 24R1 to 24R2 or a bug?  If the former, what is the reasoning behind the change?I can see this same behavior from Core to SU5.

SC Order Type - Flow not working

When we run batch invoicing of service contracts, orders are created with SC order type and the flow looks like the below. This tells us the order will go all the way through and stop at customer invoice.  However, when we do the billing manually from one service contract, the order is created but it does not follow the order flow.  We just upgraded to Cloud and this is a new issue for us.

Difference Between IFS Aurena Notify and IFS Notify 10 – Pending Approval Filter Not Working?

Hi,Can someone please clarify the difference between the "IFS Aurena Notify" app and the "IFS Notify 10" app? Both apps are currently showing all purchase requisitions and purchase orders, instead of displaying only those pending approval by the currently logged-in user.Is this the expected behavior?Is there a configuration required to filter and display only the items relevant to the approver?Also, is there any official documentation or comparison guide available that explains the functional differences between these two apps?Thanks in advance for your help!

Blanket PO Creation

Blanket PO is where we get approval for first PO line and we add subsequent PO lines within the approved amount. However, once we enable “Project Unique Procurement” check box at project level; it is not possible to add subsequent lines to the PO due to below error.   Is there a workaround for this or any other way of creating a bulk PO from purchase order window itself.

Identifying parts at receipt coming back from repair

Hi,As anybody else had the need to identify purchase parts coming back from the supplier after rework during the receipt of parts and how were you able to put it in place in IFS ?For example, I have a purchase order for 8 parts.First, I receive 5 parts. Out of those 5, 3 are broken and need to go back to the supplier for rework.Later on, I receive 3 parts from the suppliers. How do I identify if they are the 3 initial good ones I had not received yet or they are the parts that were sent back for rework ?Those parts are not lot batch tracked or serialised.Your help would be appreciated,Kind Regards,Anne-Sophie

If there an IFS Process to delete "orphan" Shipment Header Records when shipment lines have been reassigned to another shipment?

Is there a process that can be run/scheduled to remove “orphan” Shipment records when Shipment Lines are reassigned to another shipment and the Shipment header no longer has any shipment lines. Sort of a “cleanup” process.

Shipment Orders not visible in Register Arrival screen

Hi,I am playing around with the Shipment Orders functionality and I have seen in other topics here that it is possible to receive items via the Register Arrival screen but the shipment orders are not being displayed. I have tried creating a Shipment Order using the Material Requisition tab from a Request Work Task (with the Supply Code = Service Location), as well as manually (from Site to Remote Warehouse). In none of the cases are the shipment orders shown in Register Arrival screen. Am I missing any configuration? I am using 24R2.Thanks

Unit not consistent

Dear Community,The case is as follows:Case of unit not consistentThe customer buys 1 steel coil (purchase unit) with a conversion of 1000kg (stock unit).When weighed on receipt, the coil has a different weight, e.g. 1100kg.We wish to enter 1100kg in stock (production consumption unit for MRP...) and 1 coil in purchase unit (the price will not change).We've looked into the possibility of using capture units, but as the storage unit hasn't changed, this doesn't seem to be the answer.Do you have any other ideas?Thank you in advance! Best regards,Isabelle

"Pricing Contribution Margin Control" Set up

Hello, I came across “Pricing Contribution Margin Control” and was wondering if it can be used to control the contribution margin on a business opportunity or sales quotation or customer order or is it ONLY applicable to sales price list as stated in the IFS documentation.I see it working on the sales price list, but hoping it’s some data set up I am missing and that it’s not native IFS functionality. Thank you!
