I’m trying to use Supplier Schedule/Customer Schedule for internal communication between sites. It’s unclear to me on how to handle already delivered lines on the supplying site that haven’t been received bij the demanding site. 

Hi,  I have just received the working calendar for the rest of the year from some of our Suppliers.These suppliers provide us with some external manufacturing operations. These operations have fixed lead times in the system for each kind of operation (created through Standard Operations menu). My question is: Is there a way to create some sort of supplier calendar and add the working day exceptions for each supplier separately?  This way we get a better idea on when we would get the parts delivered.If so, how? If not, dos anyone has an workaround to this? Many thanks in advance for all the support!

We use both Supplier Schedule and dispatches for overseas suppliers. This means the goods are on sea for several weeks with the dispatch in our system but not yet received. However only receipts are included in the reconciling of the Supplier Schedule Lines. Is it possible to include Dispatch Advice Lines in the reconsolidation of Supplier Schedules?

I need to create a smart URL link direct to IFS application (APP9) with filtered data.In my scenario, I created a custom event to send an email, which will monitor Purchase Order Delivery Reminders on regular basis. Email should be sent to buyers who are specified on the Purchase Order Delivery Reminders. Message should contain a link to the list of reminders for given buyer. See belowScreen shots.Email format is like belowAs you can see above example Buyer “FUKMA” get one reminder email. The problem was creating the URL link. I can’t pass the buyer id to URL because it’s an API call not a SQL column.Then 2nd option will be passing the All-purchase

Hi, Is it possible to display other possible locations of a component on a printed shop order pick list? From IFS10, we have the option  to ‘pick by choice’. Great feature. However, is it possible to print on te pick list all the options that are suitable? Scenario: Operator goes the warehouse to pick component A at location 1. For some reason, he cannot access location 1 (because a forklist is parked in the way or whatever). So he needs to get component A at another location. Can we allready print these possible locations on the pick list, so he doesn’t need to run back to his computer?

Hi All, I was trying to get the Interco process working for a customer but unfortunately didn’t succeeded. I followed the manual presented in a different topic (Inter-site orders basic data set up. | IFS Community) but was unsuccessfull. I did manage to get outbound messages in the “Search connectivity Outbox messages’ but no inbound messages. So it seems the system is actually sending out messages but the incoming messages ere gettinbg lost somewhere. The database processes “Connectivity_SYS.Process_Inbox__” and “Connectivity_SYS.Process_Outbox__” are both enabled. Any ideas on what could be the issue here? Best RegardsRoel Timmermans

Hi, When we do receiving of part using scanner, often we get error “SessionIsInterrupted”.  Our intial investigation shows it could be caused low WiFi connection in the area when scanning is done.When the scanner is connected using internet data in that area, the scanning works fine. Is there any setup to change scanner’s connection automatically from WiFi to internet data if the WiFi connection is low? We use: Apps9 UPD14.  System resides in cloud. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance,~Juni  

What is the functionality of the Supplier tax - transaction level check box in Company/Tax control tab?Help text and the F1 documentation say,“ If this check box is selected and if the purchase part, purchase charge type or the no-part order line is taxable, it is required to enter tax on purchase transactions (e.g., purchase order part line, charge line, no-part order line).  Also it is required to enter tax on supplier invoices (e.g., manual supplier invoices, preliminary supplier invoices, external supplier invoices)”.“Transaction level, validate the tax code on each transaction row.”Is it validated in the PO line level and in the supplier invoice? Does that mean the application does not allow to enter a PO line in a PO without a tax code in the line? 

Dear Experts As I need to use Configuration Part for do rental but system not allow to do like that.

Is there a way to push through a % change on charges to order lines already associated with a sales order? In testing using the charge functionality linked to unit qty on a Sales Part works very well until we need to alter the %. Is there a system way of doing this or is this going to have to be a customisation?

Question:A customer uses the transport task to stage materials to a floor stock location (a move from a warehouse location to a floor stock location). The Transport Task to stage materials is created from Inventory Part in Stock reservations.Approximately 40% of customer’s shop orders run for days at a time. For these large orders, not all materials can be stage all at once as there isn’t enough physical space on the manufacturing floor.IFS does not permit partial moves of transport task lines.Customer would like to partially execute a transport task line but is prevented from doing so by IFS.•    Is there a setting in IFS that permits partial moves of transport task lines?  •    If so, is there a setting in IFS that permits operation reporting when only part of the transport task line has been executed?

In the packing, during the process when reporting picking of picklist lines, users scan barcode labels to identify serials. If for any reason they should stop in the middle, do another task or taking a break, and then they want to continue they get a warning that time passed out and need to do the job from the very beginning.We have got information that this is due to Transaction Wait Timeout set to 180 sec, in Connection Pool for PL/SQL Access.We can’t change this setting because it’s a common setting for whole application and also because the timeout described in the scenario above can be several minutes and not possible to set a fixed timeout time. Do anyone have experience how to handle the above scenario? For instance to identify several hundred or thousands of serials without facing the issue with timeout.

Hello all, I was looking for some advice. We have a company going on the system where historically the customer part number was different from the inventory part number.I was considering making the sales part number the customer number. Or using the cross reference functionality.Does anyone have any experience with either and in this scenario would you recommend one path or the other? Thanks,Rich
