Is it permissible to use HTML Coloured Text  in large text fields, such as JIC Steps?Example<span style="color: #FF0000;"> Red Text Here </span>or <b> <span style="color: #FF0000;"> BOLD Red Text Here </span> </b>It appears to work in our ‘Pre Production’ instance but wondering if there are any side affects. (Jasper Report Work Capture, etc).We are aware of the issue of non-printable characters when copy and paste from MS Office into fields (Unicode errors for apostrophes).Is Html Colour Text likely to create similar errors? Mx Ver 8.3 SP5ThanksRD 

Hi all, I’m currently researching the processes of guarantees and warranties at an airline, in the position as a trainee. The department I work for doesn’t have direct touch with the Maintenix application itself so I’ve come to here to ask my question.Is there any API or other solution available to track guarantees/warranties on part numbers of consumables/rotables/expendables? I’m including all of them, since all of them are affected by contractual agreements and thus need to be monitored for adequate compliance with OAM/OEM.Thanks in advance! 

AF/KL recently experienced different alteration of the IETM link in the IETM page.Typo error in the protocol Linking shutdown the entire document access Created attachement and link incorrect to the documentWe saw that note field synchronized in the Actual and are hold when the Actual is completed.This requires IETM revision process to dispatch Révision Note after each Manual revisionDoes Operators uses this field and IETM protocol linking Are you happy with this feature?The IETM Page / révision process is only covered by EDIT  and there no history log of the change done in the VERY IMPORTANT DATA dispatched over all the Task Card.Following an Authority audit a deviation in the process to maintain and update the IETM link was not robust enough to ensure traceability and control.  What is your experience and how traceability may be improved over th

Hello All MTX users and designer.  How do you proceed when a Technician need to order a Part in MTX which is unknown from the data base?Do you use a Create Part and add Part Requirement (create a MPN in Build in a PART GROUP Batch or Ser only) ? Other solution ?What is the IFS advisory in that process? Thanks 

Using IFS Cloud, how can I configure a modification to meet an airworthiness directive requirement with the following conditions:1. For Pre P&WC SB No. A63069 configuration engines installed on aircraft withmore than 100 hours of total air time since new:Within 25 hours of air time from the effective date of this AD.2. For Pre P&WC SB No. A63069 configuration engines installed on aircraft with100 or less hours of total air time since new:Within 150 hours of air time since new.3. For Post P&WC SB No. A63069 engines installed on aircraft that hasaccumulated 75 or less hours of air time since SB incorporation:Within 100 hours of air time since SB A63069 incorporation.4. For Post P&WC SB No. A63069 engines installed on aircraft that hasaccumulated more than 75 hours of air time since SB incorporation:Within 25 hours of air time from the effective date of this AD.

In the Disposition Shop Order, when I RMB on the Disposition Line → Select Part Identified. I get the below error message.“Owning Customer, no needs to have a value for Customer Owned stock” Could anyone assist me with this.

What could be the underlying reasons for the significant increase in memory usage across all Jasper/Maintenix instances following the recent upgrade to Jasper 9 and Maintenix, and what steps can be taken to diagnose and resolve this issue effectively?

AF/KL is trying to better use ietm protocol,the IETM allow several definition and adapted to the context.Default ContextTask DefinitionContextTask Context However when using the protocol in the jobcard step the Task context is not applied, Is there a technical limitation in the Job Step?Is there a way to write the IETM to make it working?

Southwest Airlines would like to know how other carriers have met item 6 of MNT 1.8.1 y, specifically the deletion of records in Maintenix.  IOSA MNT 1.8.1The Operator shall have a system for the management and control of maintenance records to ensurethe content and retention of such records is in accordance with requirements of the Authority, asapplicable, and to ensure operational records are subjected to standardized processes for:(i) Identification;(ii) Legibility;(iii) Maintenance;(iv) Retrieval;(v) Protection, integrity and security;(vi) Disposal, deletion (electronic records) and archiving.

Hi All, Looking for data model ideas that other operators are using for the Advanced Part Search Feature.When an AMT is assigning Part Requirements to a task, they are likely working from approved data (Non-routine Activity)The OEM data materials generally only specify specifications. How does an operator model their consumable Materials so that the AMT can add them to task by simple adding the specification number only. Qantas has been only a recent adopter of the advanced part search but found this to be a limitation as the search only looks at part name and part number. Our Data model in current sees the OEM Spec as the Part Group code.  

Does anyone assign licenses to Task definitions? I can see some functionality around filtering work and resource/capacity planning, is there any other useful functionality that comes with the application of licenses?

In my IFS Cloud lists and report outputs, all rows currently appear with a plain white background, which makes it difficult to visually separate the data.I would like to apply alternating row colors — one white, one light gray (zebra style) — to improve readability.Is there a way to configure this in IFS Cloud, either through report layout design or list view settings?

Only one P/N can be registered in the TOP template structure.For example, with the GEnx Engine, P/Ns such as GEnx-1B64P1 and GEnx-1B74/75P1 exist depending on the rating, and I would like to manage them, but creating and managing a hierarchy for each one is a hassle. Basically, since the subordinate products do not change, I would like to have alternate P/Ns in the same template structure.I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to simplify this management.

Scenario:Consider an open Shop Order with one or more outside operation lines. One item on the shop order has to be sent to an external supplier for repair before being returned to us to complete the remaining work on the Shop Order. A purchase order is created for the outside operation item and the Ship WIP to Supplier is executed. The status of the operation line is now ‘In Process’ and the item is ready to be physically sent to the supplier (an external third party company).  What is the next recommended step, or what functionality exists in IFS Cloud to get the freight portion of this process ready? For example, can a Shipment be generated from the Shop Order or Purchase Order?  Or how do I get the part from the Outside Operation added to an existing shipment?    

For monitoring and cleanup, We would like to create a list of users that haven’t logged into Maintenix for the last X period. Possibly a query all users of department Y last login before date X.We cannot find historic login for users. 

HelloWhen I buy used parts, some have the Time Since New written as ”UNK”.TSN : UNK　,　CSN : UNKHow do you register parts whose time information is unknown?

For audit purposes, is there a way to determine any Labour Row changes on ACTIVE JICs.  i.e. adding an additional Labour Row,  removal of a complete Labour Row, or removing of Certification/Inspection. Currently this detail is not shown on the Task History Tab. (8.3 SP5 u25.)Or is it possible using a Custom Jasper Report? If so which tables should be included.

Looking to see if any sort of guide or “how-to” manuals exist for how to use Maintenix as a first-time user. Thanks for any help anyone can provide - appreciate it! 

Hi everyone,I’m looking for guidance on how to configure IFS Cloud to support the S1000D specification (version 5.0), produced by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD).My goal is to be able to pre-validate, export, and import technical documentation related to a Mountain Bike, including maintenance routines, configuration tree, and existing technical drawings.Has anyone worked on something similar in IFS Cloud or could share best practices on how to set this up?Thanks in advance!

In AF/KL organisation the MOC approval for deferral is not used.The JOB STOP is allowed for ALL The Select reference is is allowed for ALL.Then a Mechanic without CRS can defer any fault in the system, the MINOR / MAJOR DEFER permission are not working with the New DEFERRAL PROCESS. See the conflict in the table below,  What is your recomment ded permission setting to prevent a Mechanic to defer an fault? Thanks   Mechanic Technician OCC Comments

We, the ET MRO Planning section, are in need of a long-range Gantt chart generator to support our slot availability analysis. The tool should ideally include: Indicators or warnings when plans exceed available capacity Labels or alerts when overlapping work package plans exist We have reviewed the following options: Long Range Planner (from the Heavy Planner to-do list) Fleet Planner Planning Viewer (From Line Planner to-do list) We would like to request the IFS team’s recommendation or insights:Which of these tools-or any others-would best meet our needs for long-range planning, slot management, and overlap detection?

Hello everyone, I’m facing a error when attaching reserved parts to Handling Units.On a CAMRO process, when we do the disposition we are not being allowed to choose an Handling Unit if we didn’t choose it previously on the disassembly side. Even after putting the Part into stock, giving him a disposition code, since the part is automatically reserved for the assembly side, we still can’t attach it to an Handling Unit.Does anyone have a solution for this ? Many Thanks,Bruno Martins
