Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

Is there any possibility that a PO for freight to be linked to any shipment ID or PO for raw materials? Scope: to be able to get from IFS freight cost per unit part for purchased and sales parts.

Hello, Would anyone know if there were plans to secure IFS Demand Plan Client with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) when using AD integration? We cannot figure out how to login to IFS Demand Plan Client while account is setup for AD integration. Thanks,Tadas

Recently we have installed demand planner service on against IFS Application 10 and service did not start as expected because of below error. Job started: Load Data from DBTable does not exist: 'IPR_FUTURE_ORDERS_TAB' error mentioned table was not in the Database as well. Below component caused the issue and after it has drop from the Database Demand Planner service was worked as expected.

Hi, Is it possible to set the MRP parameters to only look so far ahead? At the moment, as soon as a req is created (even if for next year), MRP suggests buying or making the stock. I do not want to consider that order until at 3 months prior to required date. It would be ideal to see demand without any req’s being generated. Using planning method G currently. Thanks, Dan

Hi, is there an easier way to uncheck the authorization required tick box on the PO header level? The way we know how to do it now is to reject authorization on each PO. We have about 150 POs which we’d like to reverse but we can’t do it in a more efficient manner right now.

We’re trying to amend the Demand Plan Forecast Parts in IFS, but they all show status of ‘locked’ How can they be unlocked? (We’re running APPS 9)

We have a supplier set up to be a self-billing account and when we receive product at our various sites, we are seeing the “AS” self-billing invoices processed and in our supplier analysis to be posted. However, we have recently added a new Site to our IFS system, and even though we are using the same supplier, the receipts done in this new Site are not being processed as a self-billing invoice. Is there another setting that we are missing or something else that has to be run that is Site specific?

Hi Currently using warehouse task to generate a shop order pick list from materials and i understand this can be changed to create a transport task, my question is… when we receive that TT, will the stock be automatically issued to the materials it was raised against? Thanks, Dan

My organization is in the process of implementing IFS cloud as our new ERP system. I am looking for thoughts/ideas around how to register arrivals on lot tracked material. For example, I order 10 skids of material that all have individual lot numbers and individual weights. The purchase order is for 40,000 lbs. of part number 12345. I would like to register the arrival against the PO by populating 10, 4000 lb. skids by individual lot numbers without manually overriding the PO. Is there an “upload” functionality that can avoid the manual process? Other ideas? Thanks in advance for the thoughts!

Hello, We work with many customer owned stock items that are issued to shop orders and work orders. Currently we raise a zero dollar PR/PO and receipt the items. On the Supplier for Purch Part the Ownership is set as Customer Owned. Yet the ownership on the PO line always defaults to Company Owned and if not noticed, often forces cancellation and recreation of the PO resulting in wasted time and inefficiencies. What is the best way/what settings are needed to bring these items into stock with the ownership as Customer Owned?

We have turnkey finished good items that are MS items with MS Demand since they are directly forecasted. The issue is when these items are purchased, they do not get action messages like MRP items do - MRP Action Proposals. For example - we will order the MS item based off demand. When the demand changes and the delivery date may need to be advanced, pushed out or if there is no more demand it would need to be canceled, we do not see these messages. We see Early Order, Late Order or Remove order in MRP Action Proposals and would like to see the same messages for MS items. Maybe there is a different way to set up these items so they are not MS and we can forecast them and see the MRP Action Proposals? We are in IFS Cloud

This is an interesting one, and I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing something similar. For reference, we're on IFS Apps 10 UPD17. We run the daily aggregation job just after midnight. A couple of years ago, it would finish before 9 a.m. By last year, it was running until 11 a.m., and this year it's progressively pushed out to around 2 p.m. Perhaps it's just how the algorithm scales with data volume, but has anyone else seen this kind of trend? If so, how did you address or resolve it?

IFS Cloud user. How do I freeze the sort of the Purchase Order Lines so the most recent is at the top? This screen does not have a “created time” column and when I return to it the column is forzen but the date is not the most recent.

Dear team, What functionalities will be missing if we define a Main Warehouse as a Remote warehouse? I’m trying to use user access control in Remote warehouse but I’m not sure it will drops some other functionalities/capabilities associated with main warehouses (non-remote warehouses).

So we are using MS Level 1 to essentially enter forecasts that will then drive demand signals to other sites. We have one internal supplier (finished goods) and various external suppliers (finished goods and raw material) setup in 4 different sites. We normally use distribution orders auto generate the required purchase reqs and shop order reqs that Supply Chain needs to fulfill the different demand and supply signals required through out our distribution and manufacturing network. One thing we have struggled to setup correctly and understand has been some of the parameters in Master Schedule 1 Part. We understand that every company has unique ways of handling Master Scheduling, but it is how you setup the parameters that makes a big different between trusting and not trusting the output you get from the Master Schedule. My question is simple: can some one explained to me exactly how the yellow highlighted fields and the red circled drop down options work and how they affect each other

We have a unique setup from what we’ve heard from IFS where we have 1 site per geographical location meaning that even though we have 4 buildings in SC, we only have the 1 site. This simplifies part setup etc. This said, currently we have SITE1 SUPP, SITE2 SUPP, and SITE4 SUPP. 1 is for SC, 2 is OH, 3 is France. We have another company setup for the UK along with their own site and France’s primary vendor is SITE4 but the catch is that they don’t use SITE4 SUPP because it’s not setup for profitability. We use SITE4 SUPP for non-profitable goods exchange from the US to France. I’ll note as well, it is not possible to have multiple vendors or customers to the same Site for inter-site functionality. S4 uses their own vendor code that is setup for profitability between S4 and the UK and the UK also has their own non-intersite customer setup for Site 4’s customer orders. I have setup the UK now so that 4 will issue a PO to the UK vendor. The vendor has been made intersite for the UK and all

I think this may be an obvious answer that I’m missing. We want to start using Purchase Parts only (no Inventory Part record) to buy packaging material. Previously we have set up Inventory Parts, received these into stock and then immediately adjusting off stock which is a bit of a waste of effort. The initial reason for using Inventory Parts rather than just non-stock is so we can handle the different pricing/MOQs etc - plus saves the Buyer having to type in the descriptions and pre-posting on each order. We've investigated setting up Purchase Groups against Purchase Parts to drive the postings into a particular Acc/CC/Code Part D. All works fine/as expected. The challenge now is that having set up M92 and M93 to be driven off C31 Purchase Group our ‘normal’ non-stock PO Lines error because they are manually pre-posted - and we need to retain this as the Code Part C and D particularly will be specific - not necessarily Site or Supplier, for example. Does anyone have any suggestions ho

Hi All I have observed this on previous IFS versions as well. This is 24.1.9 The validity period has passed, but the agreement remains active. Isn't this fundamentally wrong? Thanks,Asela

I am coming across an issue with IFS Cloud 24R1 where a Request for Order Quotation has been raised from a Purchase Requisition in error and the RFQ then fully deleted. Raising the RFQ changes the Request Type to Quotation Request, which sticks, even when the RFQ is deleted. If the Purchase Requisition Line is authorised, the Request Type cannot then be changed back to Purchase Request, and this forces the User to create and process a Request for Order Quotation through to approval. This feels like a bug and the current process is not user friendly leaving the User with an authorised Purchase Requisition Line that they cannot convert to a Purchase Order without going through the lengthy RFQ process to approval.

Hi experts, I’m new to supplier schedule. I have tried to define a supplier schedule with supplier schedule template and it is created as follows. Could you please help me to understand where i can create purchase requisitions and purchase orders in the next step? Thank you.

Hi All I am keen to know what's newly implemented in IFS 24R1 in Rental Management compared to what was available in IFS10? I know the IFS Academy provides a complete overview, but I am only looking for what's new. Thanks,Asela

Hi All, I use IFS 8. There is shelf life for a few purchase parts. For example, the rice shelf life is 6 months. 1. Is there a place to enter in 6 months or 180 Days in system? There are 4 fields about shelf life in Iventory Part, tab acquisition. But seems it is not for purchased part. 2 And I want to enter part manufacture date & expiring date only for these parts when Register Purchase Order Arrivals. Is it possible?
