Assets (Asset Management)

Has anybody configured something in IFS to perform asset pre-start checks?Machine operators should answer a list of questions before starting the machine. We can trigger the questions using eforms and workflow configuration. However, we also need to trigger work orders for the machine for failed checks.   

For database tasks parameters comes automatically based on definition. But  I want to use custom parameter for that same method call. For example, I want to call   ACTIVE_SEPARATE_API.MOVE_TO_HISTORY method but instead of  WO_NO_ as a parameter, I want to run this method for all the work order having work type “Preventive Maintenance”. So I want to add WORK_TYPE_ID_ as a parameter. How to do it?  

I have connected technical characteristics to work task (jttask). The Technical Class that is connected to the functional object is not showing up. Is there a way to make sure the I can see the Tech attributes on the work task?

All,when I want to copy a Work Task, I have to option to select all checkboxes, this option is not available when I want to copy a PM Action or a Work Task Template.  Are there any ideas to implement the option ‘Select All’ for other copy functions?Is there a way to managed the default values in the copy option? Most of the time the user want tpo copy all and now none of the options are selected.Thanks in advance,Robert Kool

The baseline functionality of the "Expand Forward" field in the PM Action screen calculates the 'Latest Finish' date based on the combination of the "Expand Forward" and "Due Date" fields. In my case, I need to exclude weekends from the "Latest Finish" date, but when generating the maintenance plan, the weekends are still being included, which is how the baseline functionality works. Is there any way to modify this or exclude weekends from the "Latest Finish" calculation? Adding Basic calendar to the PM action setting expand forward days Latest finish including weekends  

Hi all,We are using IFS Cloud mainly for Maintenance, and I’m curious about how others are handling Asset Criticality and Work Task Priority. Do you keep them completely separate, or have you built any kind of automation where they are connected? Are there any best practices on how to align these two values? Or do you mainly use asset criticality as more of a “flag” rather than something that drives task/work order priority? I’d really appreciate hearing how different companies are using this in practice. Any lessons learned or tips would be great!

According to documentation DateTime format is returned depending on http X-Ifs-Time-Zone-Aware-Request parameter value.When we are performing request /main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/MeasurementsForObjectHandling.svc without the parameter we are getting response "RegDate": "2025-08-18T20:03:59Z",when adding X-Ifs-Time-Zone-Aware-Request = "true"response is  "RegDate": "2025-08-18T16:03:59Z", as I understand, according to the documentation it should return  "RegDate": "2025-08-18T16:03:59+04:00" since database timezone is configured to GMT+4 

Dear All,In EAM, when work task is allowed to have multiple visits and the assignment is transferred to mobile. When 1st Work assignment is set to ‘Incomplete’ or ‘completed’ the remaining assignments will be cancelled as shown in below screenshot.Where as in NGSM, when 1st work assignment is set to ‘Completed’ the remaining assignments will be in Accepted status as per below screenshot. When work assignment is set to ‘Incomplete’ the remaining assignments will be removed and will not appear in the Assignment Tab as per following screenshot.  Is there a way in EAM solution, some setting of some sort where we can configure that upon 1st Work Assignment completion the remaining assignments will be in ‘Accepted’ status same as NGSM after incompletion so that technician can use same chain for revisit. Work around found that on same work task we need to do the direct assignment so that new chain of visits to appear as per following screenshot -   IFS Cloud Version Details:Application servic

There is a user in IFS 9. This user's IFS account automatically locks. This user does not forget their password or enter it incorrectly. I open it in the morning, and when I close the IFS account in the evening, it automatically locks the next day. What could be the reason? This situation occurs with several users.

Hi,We recently found a few instances where irrelevant Work Orders were synced to the offshore. The replication is configured by site, but some work orders from other sites are also being replicated. This issue seems to occur only for LU: WorkOrderJournal.Has anyone faced this before or have any clues on the possible cause?Environment: IFS Apps 10 UPG 19 

We have technical attributes assigned to our Serial Objects in IF Cloud. Is there any we to query Serial Objects by a particular Technical Characteristic? i.e. return all objects with “X” characteristic, and/or then sum the total of the value(s). Thanks Nick

Hi  when looking to add objects that are missing from the PM Program the list includes serial objects that are scrapped, if they are scrapped they are not eligible to be included but you only know they are scrapped when you have got to the point of adding them in, which is a waste of time. Is there a way to remove from the list altogether or at least identify them so you don’t try and add them in and have users waste precious time? 

Testing use of Service Contract and Invoices from Work Tasks based on Cost Based Pricing  on our 24R1 SU12 version, and use of Merge By Sales Part does not work according to our expectations.Is someone using a similar setup in newer versions?    Invoice Preview with Invoice Scope CustomerMy expected result here would be 1 line with the total quantity and amount for my 8 personell lines  I get the same result if I create the Invoice Preview with Group Level Work Order (2 extra lines due to the date used as filter in the first scenario)  Invoice Preview with Level Work Order                                               Our Invoice Rule on the Service Line on the Service ContractOur Invoice Rule  

Hi all   we use the Work Order Report Control → Work Task print flow. For us the Work Tasks print fine, but some users see their attachments prompted to save/open instead of being printed (attachments never auto-print). Expected: single print action prints Work Task pages and attachments (preferably as one merged PDF).note - this is only for some users Request: anyone who've implemented server-side bundling (convert attachments → PDF + merge) or Print Agent configs / command examples to auto-print Office docs   please share. 

Hi there,I am trying to add a string to the beginning of the Description (remarks) in ETM but when I do the formatting is lost. It will look something like this …“New String ” + outbound.self.remarks Is there a way to maintain the formatting.

Trying to convert an old APP9 work instruction to Cloud, and finding roadblocks along the way. This seems to be way more complicated than it should for such an important function. I’ve worked with other ERPs in the past which were way less complicated.Has anyone been able to get the end-to-end process working in cloud. Or does anyone have related documentation or video? I understand R&D is changing this functionality...any idea when? 

Dear All,There is discrepancy in status of MMR’s generated from PM Action WO’s based on due date. Following its the scenario explained in detail with requirement.

Good day everyone i have a question regarding the creation of work order package. so when i have an active work order created i would like it to have some mandatory items already added automatically and (alphabetically if possible) in the tab Materials. thanks for the help.

We are running IFS10 with MWO Service app version 10. ✅ Login works fine on newer iPads (iOS 18.5). ❌ On iPad 5th Gen (stuck on iOS 16.7.11), login fails with “Service not reachable.” iOS cannot be updated further on these devices. Business Impact:Our field engineers widely use older iPad 5th Gen devices. Replacing them would mean significant hardware costs and logistics challenges. We need to know if there is a planned MWO v10 update to restore compatibility with iOS 16.7.11, or if an older working IPA build can be used temporarily.

How to create Single Work Order for Multiple Object ID, through PM action for example multiple Fire and gas detector to be checked on single zone, I need one work order to be generated with List of Object ID I am using Maintenance Module

Hello, I hope you're all well!I'm just starting to learn about Enterprise Asset Management (EAM). I'd like to know if anyone has a guide for basic configurations like People, Tools, and Machines. This can be done with any version of the IFS app, or in the cloud. I took the IFS Academy course, but I still have some questions, especially about configuring basic data.Thank you in advance!

Hi all,We have PM Actions scheduled for the entire year. The maintenance team is using the Maintenance Plan Analysis screen to find these actions by searching with Group ID and “Remaining to Due < 10.”In the attached screenshots, you’ll see that the Due Date is 5/27/2025, which is today’s date. So, the Remaining to Due should be 0. However, it's currently showing as 4.In our test environment, the Remaining to Due is showing correctly. I’ve already checked the scheduled database tasks and background jobs, and nothing appears to have failed.I was able to fix an individual record by going to the PM Action > right-click > Regenerate Plan (see screenshots below). My question is: where or how is this regeneration typically automated in the system? I haven’t found anything in IFS Help, and I can't identify any configuration differences that would explain why it's working correctly in the test environment but not in production.We’re currently running Apps 10, Update 20. Let me know if
