In my IFS Cloud lists and reports, all rows currently appear with a plain white background. This 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 enable this kind of row styling in IFS Cloud, either through report design or list configuration 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.

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!

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

Southwest Airlines is currently does not track wheel and brake inventory within Maintenix.  We are exploring the possibility of adding the inventory.I am reaching out to other Maintenix users on if they manage their wheel and brake tracking within Maintenix?  And any pros and cons you may have on it. 

We’re trying to map a scenario in which a Customer returns a Product to our client for modification / remanufacturing. It has been proposed that we consider the use of Component Repair Orders rather than Remanufacturing Shop Orders for this, but although we’ve created a Repair Order for our Part:CRO Repair Orderand have created the Repair for the work: RepairBut we can find no way of linking any of the Materials we will be using to complete the Remanufacturing work to this Repair Order, nor of any way to be able to issue the Serialized item for our Part out if stock to the Repair OrderCan anyone advise of how this can be done?

Hi,Does anyone know whether it’s possible to use any created cloud user as the Keycloak Super Admin? For example, currently it is advised to set the user as “ifsadmin” via the ifscloud-values yaml file, could I potentially create a user in Cloud first like “ReportAdmin” and use that as the admin?It appears even if you assign a user the Administrator or Super user roles within Jaspersoft, it still does not give them the full permissions (like the ‘Manage' menu) to upload & manage reports. Only the keycloak super user admin seems to have those permissions. Referring to the cloud-values paramters here in 24R1 & R2: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r2/070_remote_deploy/010_installing_fresh_system/200_installing_ifs_cloud/035_ifs_cloud_ifsinstaller/030_installation_parameters/#parameters_for_ifsmaintenixreportserverThanks.

Hello,When I use an Activity and set the Action to "Update" for a recordset, I encounter an error that has the following statement:"A-20110: SerialOperLog.NOMODIFY: Modify not allowed. Use Serial_Oper_Log_Util_API.Calculate_Serial_Oper_Log"It should be stated that this is a recoredset that I can successfully read from.I would like guidance on how to proceed.If I use an Activity and set the Action to "Call",  then set the "API Name" to "Serial_Oper_Log_Util_API" as the error would suggest I do, I get an error ..."Metadata for requested projection resource [Serial_O per_Log_Util_API] is not found."And here is the screen showing the data I am trying to enter using a workflow…   Here is the Activity from the Workflow that generates the error…  …  if I adjust the Activity to be of Action “Read” I can successfully read the records. Another part of this question is how to find out what options I have for entering in a “Call Name”, when I set the Action to “Call” and I do know the “API Name”. 

Has anyone that has implemented Engineering found it an issue that there is no access management of data in Engineering except for Permissions ?  (Nothing like company in Finance or Ste in SCM)  We are implementing into a group of companies in the defence industry and they find it unacceptable due to IP constraints to share the data between companies.If anyone has a good work around or CRIM developed for this challenge I would like to hear about it.

Hi all, Apparently it is not possible to connect a purchase order line with demand code ‘interim order’ to a project activity. Only demand codes Inventory Order and Non-Inventory Order are allowed to connect. Is there a reason why this works this way? Trying to figure out the implications this might have. Is there some kind of workaround that I am missing? 

Is it possible to install HotJar in Maintenix?

I have created DSO> Proved with repair order.         Go to the relevant assembly shop order and observe the part is in customer owned status. Supply type MRO.  Now  this repaired part need to another engine. Now if I disconnected from the current engine that can be pegged to another engine.  on the assembly shop order, now that we have disconnected the repair order we have the material line (customer owned) that has no part reserved or in repair so we need to run MRP ... please consider to include this in a future release.

Hello everyone,Can anyone please explain what the relationship is between Total Scheduled Hours, Total Actual Hours and Total Baseline Scheduled Hours under Work Package Details page?Thanks,Hiwot 

Hi! I’ve been trying to find the “History” information, shown in the picture, in the backend tables of Maintenix and I haven’t been able to find it. I appreciate any help with this. Thanks!  

Very often when we’re investigating why this record or row was created, in some cases it help if you can go directly to that individual. Maintenix database keeps in most of it’s tables fields like CREATION_DT (Creation Date), REVISION_DT (Revision Date) and REVISION_USER, but it’s missing the CREATION_USER.In some areas if we’re lucky and Creation Date and Revision Date matches, then we know the user who created that row in the database, if not we’re kept in the dark.Is it hard for IFS to add this field to majority of it’s table where end user is able to create an entry, like Locations etc.

Our company direction is to move to Oracle 23C in 2024.  What are the plans for IFS Maintenix on-premises to move to Oracle 23C?

Southwest Airlines Problem Statement: During heavy checks and cabin visits, QC often has multiple identical faults to document with only slight changes to station locations or seat rows. We would like a way to create a template or duplicate faults without having to goes through all the steps of fault creation. Southwest is looking for feedback/guidance if this is currently available functionality in Maintenix.
