IFS Freight Interface - IFS Cloud

Does anyone have documentation in regards to the IFS Freight Interface for Cloud 21 R1/R2?  Does it still exist?  Is it still ODBC connections or can we use the Web Apps using REST Api calls?

Inter-site or Distribution Order

Hello, We have an example as below and not sure the most appropriate solution.Site A usually manufactures an item. On occasion due to capacity it is purchased from site B Site B is different company / site in IFS Site A will send all materials for the job to Site BIdea 1The business is already familiar with using distribution orders. However, as the item is manufactured on site A most of the time, shop order requisitions are created. These can be converted to purchase requisitions, but not to a distribution order as far as I can tell? The only way to generate the distribution orders is to manually create or switch the part to ‘purchased’ as default? Idea 2A new concept to the business would be to use inter-site orders using the ‘send’ functionality. This would allow them to leave the part as manufactured and switch to purchase requisition, from which they can then send. We then get the PO/CO although we have to manage the sending when any changes occur.  I’m unsure which is the most ap

Registrer W/D/R on the Transport Order

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.

Inventory Availability Control & Part Visibility

My understanding is the Part Availability Controls are used to control the following actions related to a a specific part in a specific location:If the part can be automatically reserved or issued from that location If the part can be manually reserved or issued from that location If the part can be moved between locationsIf the part in that location cannot be manually or automatically reserved and issued, is the part even visible in stock for the location? Or is the part “hidden”?

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

We are receiving the error “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” in the Purchase Order window while trying to save and while trying to tab out from a field. The error occurs randomly and not often. So, recreating it is not possible. When it happens the user needs to restart IFS to get rid of it.It occurs only in the PO and no where else in the system. We are using Apps 10 update 15  Ifs.Fnd.FndSystemException: Explorer: An Unhandled Exception has occurred ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Ifs.Application.Purch_.frmPurchaseOrder.SetDeliveryAddressInfo()   at Ifs.Application.Purch_.frmPurchaseOrder.ValidateDeliveryAddress()   at Ifs.Application.Purch_.frmPurchaseOrder.dfDeliveryAddress_OnPM_DataItemValidate(Object sender, WindowActionsEventArgs e)   at Ifs.Application.Purch_.frmPurchaseOrder.dfDeliveryAddress_WindowActions(Object sender, WindowActionsEventArgs e)   at PPJ.Runtime.Windows.SalWindow.InvokeWin

Use customer part for sales part or cross reference functionality

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

Supplier tax - Transaction level in Company tax control

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?

Which MOQ and Lead time input is used in the MRP

Hi,I am looking for information about the hierarchy between ex. inventory part and supplier for purchase part, which is the top level in regards to data structure.For example, it is possible on the supplier for purchase part, to setup "min order qty", and on the inventory part a "min lot size", this is the same: the minimal that can be purchased?Since the inventory part cannot be blank, and it seems this number is used in the MRP, then when is the number from the supplier for purchase part used?The same for lead time, lead time can be se up on different levels, but which controls in the end the MRP.Looking for info exactly which fields are used in the MRP and which can override each other? BRAnders

Tip: Work Time Calendar Expiration - extension solution

The work time calendars in IFS are used for a range of different things such as SLA calculations, calculating lead times in manufacturing and supply chain, scheduling window calculations etc. Each calendar is setup with a schedule and a start and end date. Once a calendar has been setup, the details (basically generating a list of dates based on the schedule) needs to be generated via a background job and triggering the generation is a manual process. Once a calendar expires, you run into a whole raft of problems, having too long of a time horizon can also cause performance issues. I’ve created a configuration that aims to automatically extend the calendars before this happens. It will add two new fields on the calendar schedule line to allow you to define the calendar as auto-extending and allows you to define by how much to extend it each time.  Attached is a document to describe this in more detail. This was done for Apps 9 but I’m fairly sure it’d work for Apps 10 as well.

Supply Chain delivery performance

Hello.  Trying to measure supplier on time delivery performance.  I am not certain which dates to use.  I’m thinking “wanted delivery date” should stay constant as the date I want it and as updates are made from supplier I should revise “planned arrival date”. Correct?  Then I could bump Wanted date against receipt date and get the delta between the 2.  Is this correct?

Over Tolerance - Purchase Group vs Over Delivery

Over receipt of PO lines can be controlled at 2 levels of the Purchase Part ‘Over Tolerance% filed at the Purchase Group or ‘Over Delivery’ section highlighted below.    Either of those is enough  in the setup or are the both needed, say, when I need to control over receipt of PO lines? Does one of them override the other? I am asking because I tried with both the setups to receive several PO lines, the behavior is not consistent. Any confirmation from an IFS Supply Chain expert will be nice.

Create a smart URL link direct to IFS application (APP9) with filtered data

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 order Reminders Order No, Line and Release No to URL.Is it possible to do something like this? If it’s, could you Please tell me how to create the URL passing above mention variables.

Part Characteristics

Trying to understand some things about part characteristics as they relate to master parts and inventory parts. Considering characteristics for parts, but want to make sure of the most appropriate creation and flow, assuming the idea is to create a master part and inventory parts (may be many inventory parts, due to different locations) from the master part. Also the more relevant scenario where many master and inventory parts already exist.Part Master Data>Master Part>Part has a Characteristics tab that seems unrelated to Inventory Part Characteristics, seems to just happen to be named Characteristics Am able to populate the Technical Class and Attributes (App Base Setup/Characteristics/Basic Data) by creating them, then template and assigning template, but I don’t think this is necessarily relevant to what we’re after...this seems likely independent of inventory part characteristics, and doesn’t seem to flow to inventory part characteristics once created. We are able to create
