Supply Chain

We are encountering a situation where a specific Customer Order Type (COM) seems to be forcing all associated Purchase Order Lines to 100% discount. When the discount is set back to 0%, it automatically updates in the background back to 100%. At first, i assumed this was custom functionality in our instance, but i’ve been unable to find any custom events or workflows that are triggered on PurchaseOrderLine or PurchaseOrderLinePart. While in theory this makes sense (Commission orders having 0 cost), I can’t seem to find any place in IFS where we would have set up this functionality. Does anyone know if this is native? When i check in the PO Line History, i can see my entries for setting discount to 0%, but there doesnt appear to be anything setting it back to 100% in the history, so it is happening in the background somewhere. Any ideas on how i can track this down? For reference, we are currently on IFS Cloud 25R1.3

I have created purchase order , added part lines then release the purchase then receive it from register arrivals also i have performed quality inspection in which my receive case was receive at arrival inspect at QA . When i’m registering inspection result shipment lines are not been created automatically.How to resolve this?

Having IFS Cloud (24R2), I am facing the problem that final invoice has incorrect values in the quantity. Difference is rather small (less than 1%), seems as incorrect rounding, but still, it is not the expected amount.I have a consignation stock with material. Customer reports what they have used. Based on that, I am creating a collective invoice mapping correct lot-batches, etc. (Catch qty is not used.) We are storing meters, selling kilograms. Error did not appear every time, rather randomly, with no obvious reason.Any useful idea?

Hi,We have noticed that when a warehouse task is created for a shop order pick list, it is automatically splitting the pick lists by location group even when the materials are in the same warehouse and we have the pick lists per set to warehouse only. The location groups are all of the same type picking, but still it gets split. If we do not choose the option to create a warehouse task then only one shop order pick list is created but by toggling on the warehouse task field the pick lists are always split by location group.I have tried adding and removing location groups to the worker group and worker, but it always splits the shop order pick lists when multiple location groups are involved.We cannot remove the location groups from the warehouses as these used for other tasks such as counting, CO picking, etc.  Any ideas on how to maintain one pick list per warehouse without warehouse tasks splitting them would be appreciated. Thanks

We have configured Supplier B2B in our development environment, and we’ve witnessed that when a supplier pushes through a change, we do not see the change on the incoming purchase order confirmation.  We see the note a supplier has left, but do not see any QTY or PRICE changes on the change order or purchase order. Has anyone else seen this happen? We do have allow changes for this supplier enabled (common fault I’ve seen on this forum). We’re on Apps 10 UPD 20. 

Does anyone have any idea what the below error message means “Level1Forecast.FND_RECORD_EXIST: The Level 1 Forecast already exists” is the message when MS Level 1 is scheduled. Also happens when manually clicking Run MS - One Part. Red stop message “ The Level 1 Forecast already exists.  Forecast is copied in Demand Planner

Hi, I tried to enter discount on  Customer Agreement based on Sales group (in IFS Cloud) but this information is not fetched to SQ and CO. There are no other agreements or Price lists connected to the Customer.Correct Sales group, quantity, discount type, value and validity are chosen but doesnt get reflected. Any idea what the issue can be please? Thank you 

When working with Inventory Part statusses there are basicly 2 options:Use a minimum number of statusses based on the possible combinations of settings. For example:Encode the different departments in the status so you know who at any moment is responsible (when creating new parts or updating them)Any comments on how this is done are welcome :-)

 Body: Hi IFS Community,I work in the Steel Industry (Coil Service Center / Decoiling) using IFS Applications 10. We have a specific scenario regarding purchasing and receiving raw material (Steel Coils) and I am wondering if there is a standard solution for this or if it requires customization.The Scenario: Purchasing: We create a Purchase Order for a total weight (e.g., 100 Tons of 5x1000mm Steel Coil) as a single line item. Supplier Notification: Before delivery, the supplier sends us a detailed packing list via Excel. This file contains specific details for each individual coil that makes up the 100 tons: Coil No / ID Heat No / Cast No Lot/Batch No Specific Weight (e.g., Coil 1: 20 tons, Coil 2: 18 tons...) Valid F

While creating ‘Supplier Schedule’ this error occurred and there is no existing Agreement id How to make a new Agreement ID?

Subject: Is it possible to create a Purchase Requisition/Order directly from the "Inventory Parts with Shortage" screen?Hi Community,We are currently using IFS Applications 10 EE.Our planning team frequently uses the "Inventory Parts with Shortage" and "Resolve Shortages for Inventory Part" screens to monitor critical stock levels.However, when we identify a shortage, we want to be able to take immediate action to supply the material directly from these screens. Specifically, we are looking for an option in the Right Mouse Button (RMB) menu to "Create Purchase Requisition" or "Create Purchase Order" for the selected part.As seen in the attached screenshots, the standard RMB options currently allow us to "Resolve Shortages" (allocate existing stock), but there is no direct option to generate new supply (Purchasing) for the shortage quantity.

Using IFS9. Lot batch was received on a customer-owned Purchase Order line that was missing the activity/project connection.  This lot batch is reflected in Inventory Part In Stock without the project connection.  We need to make an activity/project connection on the customer order, and we cannot make the reservation because the customer order line has the project association but the lot batch does not. When trying to move the inventory tag to the project, the system tries to amend the customer owner to 1, rather than the actual customer who owns the part.  Here’s what we have tried so far to resolve this:  Reopen PO line and connect activity.  Activity connection is greyed out… unable to action. Transfer lot batch to project inventory from Inventory Part In Stock.  This action tries to amend the owning customer to 1 rather than the actual customer owning the stock. Reserve lot batch without activity connectio

Is there a way to add an automatic document text to the customer order for a specific site?   

“When multiple valid agreements exist for the same customer, site and currency, the system will per default retrieve the agreement with the lowest ID to the customer order, and display this in the customer order header.” Is there any logic to selecting the lowest ID?

Hello,Would it be possible to define for Inventory Parts its real location on shelves in warehouse;is there any field to introduce the information where the Part is located in warehouse; e.g. Storage Racks No + shelf No;Regards,Kruthika

Dear allIn IFS Cloud 24R2, for purchase requisition lines, select one supplier, there are 20 items (maybe 50-100 lines) to be released to convert purchase order, but among of them about 2-5 items will not to be released, use “not equal to” and “;”, but it does not work, the filter out items are still there.In IFS10, it worked. Can we have any other simple solution for end user? please help to check. ThanksSusan  

I am wondering if there are any “recommended” RDS and P&A systems people use that work well with IFS? I am sure there are many out there but wondering if there are preferred ones for IFS. 

I need define the run time of machine and workers in diferentes situations and don´t forger these time  affect to load and capacity: Situation 1:AUTOMATIC MACHINES CNC machining centers with multiple pallets where two or more operations of different durations are combined during a shift. It only requires the operator to change the part, but the machine does not stop.EXAMPLE 1: The machining takes 60 minutes, and the operator changes the part while the machine is machining another part. Situation 2:SEMI-AUTOMATIC MACHINES CNC machining centers with multiple pallets where two or more operations of different durations are combined during a shift. Requires the operator to change the piece.EXAMPLE 2: Machining takes 50 minutes and the operator takes 5 to change the piece with the machine stopped. Situation 3:MANUAL MACHINES centers such as LATHES, MILLS, SAWS, OR MANUAL DRILLS where operators p

Hi,I hope that you are well.Does anyone have a presentation on “IFS Cloud - Export Control Functionality” or a document detailing functional improvements/changes from APP10 to Cloud, please? Thank youKind regards,Samiru

Hi All, is there a way to filter the displayed Objects in the CRM Panel?The Opportunities with State “Closed” should not be shown , if I expand the list of Opportunities     Many Thanks for every hint.Regards, André

In Inventory financial control, after receiving the order the purchase order status changes to closed state and we have to select our site to perform periodic weighted average then it directs to the inventory part and then we have to select the unit cost . On the header there must be a tab ‘Remove Periodic WA Difference’ but in this it is missing.Can you provide solution for this.

How can the validity period be defined for a supplier associated with a purchase item?

Can someone explain inventory conversion factor and price conversion factor to me? For example, we have a part we order in a pack of 4, but use in production and sell in service parts by each.  What should the conversion factors be? what should supplier for purchase part price be? what should the standard cost be?  

Hello!I´m trying to setup internal trade and have succesfully done the entire process but then I realised that I would like to have automatic receiving of goods at the buying company. The internal trade in thsi case means that the buying company picks up the goods at the sellers warehouse so when the selling company does the delivery in IFS Cloud I would like to have the goods automatically received on the buying companys side. I´ve setupo the DIRDEL message but what triggers it? Thanks for your advice, I feel a bit lost :) RegardsEmma

Activities that affect tool availability come from many parts of the solution.  Currently, when a person is looking to see the overall demand and supply for tools, they need to build a complicated CRIM. Demand Signals:- Tool Demand from Manufacturing, Component Repair Shops, Complex Assembly Repair Shops, and Airframe Repair Shops. Tool demand can change as tasks are updated and/or rescheduled.- Tool Calibrations (tool is unavailable for the duration of the tool calibration, which can include shipping)- Tool Sales- Tool Rentals (outbound)- Tool Exchanges (if the user is sending out the tool before they get the replacement)- Tool Shipments (shipping tools to another location, either temporarily to support specific maintenance, or long-term as a transfer of capability)- Damaged, Missing, or Lost tools (no ETA is likely available)- Quarantined Tools (no ETA is likely available)Supply Signals:
