Why do the "Previous Work Center" and "Next Work Center" fields in the "Shop Order Operations" screen display " - " (space-space)when they are empty?When I search for data where these fields are empty, the leading space is removed in the basic search. I can only add the spaces back when I switch to the advanced search.This behavior makes searching with these fields unnecessarily complicated for end users.

Hello, I have a setup with a customer where company A can take out material from Company B´s warehouse  via internal trade setup. As company A might pick up more material than needed they often get back and return material to Company B´s warehouse.  How do we make this by best practice? RMA? But as the invoice is already matched automatically with the PO at Company B we cannot change the received amount and match the credit invoice automatically. OR what am I missing here? :) If you do RMA you register arrival for the RMA but the PO is not adjusted? Thanks for any input!

There’s a confusion on the behavior of the event that reminds of the Target Day. As per the customer, whenever he raises a PO some folks get an email for the target day, and when others raise it, they don't get it even though they belong to the same approval purchase group.Need to find out the system behavior based on the setup and who should get notified and why - that would be good to figure out here so we can use this optimally. TIA

How to manage global demand of a manufactured part

Hello IFS Community, i hope somebody can guide me with the following, when a user adds a line in the purchase order, if the Part/Supplier relationship is not in the Supplier for Purchase Part, the system will ask and let the user enter that entry into the Supplier for purchase part. the user doesnt have access to the Supplier for Purchase part, but still the system is letting this user create the entry.i cant seem to find the proper projection for this assistant in order to have it blocked.  any idea how can this be prevented, will be very much appreciated. Thank you!  

Hello All,Our organization currently utilizes Apps 9. When creating new Shipment ID’s we use the “Order Lines Available for Shipment” > RMB > “Connect  to Shipment”. Our teams are inquiring if this RMB job can be relocated to the Customer Order screen at the Line Level. Has anyone experimented with this before or understand if this workflow is feasible?  

If an MS1 part has forecast from Demand Planner within the Planning Time Fence, should a delivered Customer Order consume the forecasted amount within the PTF?  Should the forecast from Demand Planner even be in the Planning Time Fence?How would forward consumption affect this item? Are there recommended settings for the forecast to be consumed during PTF? Please see the attached document for samples

Hi All,I am using customer consignment stock functionality. As part of the solution I am trying to capture the consumption stock value to the project. I understand that when the customer consignment stock is in use, IFS does not allow to connect to a Project activity.But in the customer consingment stock consumption page shows an activity ID. But I cannot identify the purpose and how to connect an activity to this.Ideally I want to capture the consignment stock consumption to the project and capture the actual consumption based on the usage. Any plans or work arounds for this please?Highly appreciate any support on this requirement.Thanks,Chamath

Hi IFS Community, Subject:Our sales team wants to implement a customer leveling system (segmentation) within IFS. The goal is to categorize customers based on their value/performance: Level A: Top-tier customers Level B/C: Mid-tier Level D: Low-performing or "poor" customers What is the most efficient way to handle this in IFS Apps 10? We are considering a few options: Customer Statistic Group: Using the standard "Stat Group" field on the Customer record. Custom Fields: Creating a persistent custom field with a fixed List of Values (LoV). Customer Category: Utilizing the built-in Category field (though this is often used for Prospect/Customer distinction). My questions are: Which s

Hello, I keep running into the problem that I only need to place a single order with a supplier. If I create a new supplier every time I do this, the number of suppliers in IFS quickly shoots up. Is there a way to create a ‘dummy’ supplier that I can adapt each time I want to place a new order? The ‘one-off supplier’ function isn’t suitable here.

Hi Team,I have created a Customer Hierarchy, and I am trying to associate a Rebate Agreement to the Customer Hierarchy. Once, I check the box for “Use Hierarchy” and then enter my “Hierarchy - ID”, it is presenting me with a warning pop-up message regarding Assortments.Why is this? I am not planning to use Assortments, and the Agreement Type I selected is “Use Sales Part Rebate Group”.    Best Regards,Alex

Hello,When deactivating a code in the system, there is currently no warning indicating whether the code is still being used in the background. As a result, I have to manually check multiple screens one by one to verify its usage.To improve efficiency and prevent potential errors, I kindly request support for either implementing a warning system that notifies users if the code is actively in use, or providing a shortcut that displays all related usage points.The main areas I currently have to check manually are:Work orders screen (whether there are any open work orders) Production structure (whether the parent item has any open work orders) Sales order lines (whether there are ongoing orders) Purchase order lines (whether there are any open purchase requests) Stock status (whether there is available stock in the system)Automating these checks within the system would help prevent user errors an

Good afternoon,I’m working with a customer who relies heavily on flyer promotions and is facing challenges in keeping promotional uplifts out of the Adjusted Demand, which then affects the statistical forecast.I’d really appreciate insights or best practices from others who have solved similar scenarios in IFS Cloud Demand Planning. Customer BackgroundThis customer’s sales are strongly influenced by flyer campaigns — short-term promotional periods with significantly increased volumes and reduced pricing. These uplifts do not represent baseline demand, and the customer wants to ensure they don’t contaminate the historical demand used for forecasting. What they tried so far1. Campaigns (previous solution)

Is it possible to send a POST request using Postman or another tool via a REST API, and also have the same transaction captured as an Application Message in IFS Cloud?For example, if I create a new Inventory Part using a REST API POST request, can that request (or its details) be logged as an Application Message, so that it records information related to the payload for tracking or auditing purposes?

Hi community,I have a question around scrapping causes. I only just noticed in 25R2 (it is possible in earlier versions as well though so not sure when the change happened) that it is possible to delete scrapping causes despite them having been used in previous transactions. I am really confused by this because I am used to the fact that you cannot delete basic data if it has been previously used. Hence the reason, you have an option there to block the item.However, it is possible to delete the scrapping causes regardless of whether they have been used in an inventory scrap or not. The only time I cannot delete it, is when the scrapping cause has been used to scrap parts during a receipt. Then, I do still get an error saying I cannot delete the scrapping cause. This doesn’t make sense to me but that is not to say that IFS haven’t done this intentional and there is good reason why there is a difference between an inventory and receipt scrap. 

Hi all,we plan to use FIFO valuation method for some companies/sites.While doing some testing on top of FIFO we see some challenges like:Intra-company transfers between sites when doing transfer from site using STD to site using FIFO with internal CO/PO, the FIFO bucket in receiving site is valuated by STD cost from the sending site to avoid any artificial profit/loss to be created during the transfer and ignoring any freight charges on the internal PO connected to the transfer      Not possible to cancel internal receipts system is not allowing to cancel internal receipt when FIFO is used Recalculation of FIFO bucket cost history in case of a mistake I’m actually note sure if this is a pain (but I can imagine under some circumstances it could be), ​​​but ​​​​it seems there is no system support to recalculate FIFO bucket cost history in case of a
