Assets (Asset Management)

Is there a way to alert the user in MWO that the reading is below the previous? (now it only marks it as preliminary in cloud)  

Hi All,Can anyone clarify the reason why the application is allowing to report time for a task before the Earliest Start Date of the Work Order ?Thanks  

Hello , I don’t see the Demo Exercises with the material for Asset Management - Preventative Maintenance. It would be helpful when following along to read the material. We had some in the 1st Training for Day 1 and 2.  Please provide Session 2 the Day 1 and 2 Practice Demo Handouts. In addition, if it is not provided for the 3rd Training, it would be helpful to send or let me know where they can be found. Thank you

Hello, we have four object transactions that have the status "Externally Created" and when we go to Add Investment - Progress, there are no transactions to activate. Does this mean that they are not activated? How do we get them to become Ready as the rest?The transactions are from January and were only discovered now, but it has worked well with the remaining transactions after January.

I've recorded and edited an one on one session with permission from Lamont May who recently started with IFS and will be doing EAM training. If you follow this session, you should be able to set up EAM for a US company. It begins with thirty minutes of set up on the site, users, resources, and parts, then it goes into setting up equipment structure and objects for fifteen minutes (including technical characteristics which isn't really introductory training but is frequently asked about but ignored), then closes with setting up task templates and a generic PM Program for a piece of equipment.I did notice I grabbed the wrong calendar on the site set up that needs generated in the database I was training from, so I suggest using the calendar labeled "5" which at this time comes out generated when delivered in RACE.I guarantee you will learn more watching and trying to follow along with this video for just over an hour th

Attached is a procedure for creating PM Programs using task templates. One thing that tripped me up was having to do a revision on the generated PM Actions if it was necessary to update the Start Value. Other than that and not trying to add Grouped & Merged into the mix, PM Programs function pretty well. I suggest not trying to use the PM Replacement functionality on a PM Program, but let the system generate multiple work tasks when they align.Please let me know if this is helpful as well as if you see any errors or omissions or anything I need to clarify. 

Hi,I am working for a customer who is upgrading from IFS9 to IFS Cloud.What I want to achieve is to get the Map Position set on the Work Order and to forward this to the Work Task. So I tried that but the Work Task does not inherit the Map Position. I have tried multiple settings in the Object Transformations.These are the settings I used (first only with JtTask and ActiveSeparate and later with WorkOrder) Can someone tell me what needs to happen to achieve what I want?  

Hi IFS Guru, I am trying to down load the list of WOs through Active Work Order ( Maintenance>Work Management>Preparation and Planning>Active Work Order) in Excel format, all the tables was downloaded except the Object Description is not get downloaded in Excel, it is showing on the screen in the same column as “ Object and their description) but when downloaded in excel only Object ID is downloaded, even in the Column Chooser option Object Description field is not available, is there any way around to get this downloaded from Active Work Order.Object Description is important for us for the scheduling purpose otherwise we would have to download from Functional Object and match it with the list from Active Work Order, which is not a practical solution. We are using IFS Cloud Web version: 22.2.8.20230509084539.0. Appreciate your help on this ! Regards Shez

Hi All!Why the due date is empty when you generate the first condition based criteria maintenance plan on a PM action?Thank youBest regards

Are there any user manuals for fixed assets in Aurena?

Dear All, I’m trying to learn more about the use of Equipment Basic Data > Classification organization. Unfortunately, the information I can find is very limited so I have no idea about the benefits of these Classification organizations/Classification Codes.  Could someboy gives some additional background on this functionality?How do you use it? Whare are excellent customer cases that benefit the use of Classification organizations? Best RegardsRoel  

Hi all,We have a Client with IFS App10 implemented for a single Site that uses Rental Contracts. Now other Sites are being created for the same Company and there is a need to distribute the Serial Objects to the new Sites.The Core Application is incapable of handling moving of a serial objects between sites/companies while maintaining same object ID/serial No. However, this is a customer request that we must fulfill.Changing the site may affect functional flows and analysis data such as financial transactions, material transactions, PM actions, WO and Historical WO.There are some limitations to overcome when delivering a solution for this issue such as, Since the site is a crucial part of the key for an object and its ownership, changing it might loss the tracking information of a serial object.I would like to know if anyone has already created a solution through Events or even Customization and can share this solution because the Client needs an u

Hi Experts,I have few question about long running jobs and how those to be planned in to several Visits. Please see example below.I have created a task with duration 12 hours where I need allow multiple visit with the Option enabled. First I tried direct assignment in Dispatch Console, there I could not see this Allow Multiple Visit is enabled though it is enabled in the task?? Then I cancelled it and tried drag and drop the Job to one of my Resource and this is how I see it.You can see it is evreywhere even outside the shift as the duration is 12 hrs.

Hello I have the Cloud version in 23R2, when I try to attach parts from the object no information appears.I need to be able to get the parts of the object for the tasks using this function   

Hello,A user raised a PO and posted to an object (fixed asset)  that was in status active so we now have an error of ‘You have specified an object with wrong status’. Now ideally the PO should have removed the asset from the line - however the line was cancelled before this could happen.Is the best way to fix this to roll back the transactions on the object, change the status to inactive and reprocess the transaction in error?Any advise welcomed.

Hi 😊,Would anyone happen to know the method for automatically setting the following Work Task to the status of 'Work Done'?All the assignments are in Completed status, but the Work Task status remains Work Started.I supposed that the reason is toggling on “Allow Multiple Visits”.But when I attempt to toggle off it the below error generates.Any workaround to set the Work Task automatically to Work Done/ Finished is highly appreciated.Environment : IFS CLOUD 22.2.19Thank you 😊

HI,Is there a way to use an object with the status replace?   Thanks in advance. 

I've accidentally added a site to the “Connections” for a resource group. However, I can’t remove it. I get the following error:Site 1040 is used on Capacity Basis tab.  But can’t see how we can remove this from the capacity basis tab. 

My company is in the beginning stages of upgrading from APP9 to Cloud 24R2.  During some recent training we have noticed that there is a step to Transfer Work Task …. I believe this is transferring costs associated with various tasks for financial purposes.  We see transfer of external, time, tool/equipment, expense, external, and reposting. However, we do not see the ability to transfer material costs. Am I missing something? I would imagine most users would need the ability to transfer work task material costs from work orders on a consistent basis. In short, we need to capture the full personnel (labor), material and external costs that are associated with the entire work order. 

@Mayura Wasantha @Krishantha @AvinduHendawitharana @TsuRusseM Hey Guys,How you guys doing? We have a large customer wanting information on RFID usage.   We saw a few posts that were old and not really detailed.  Do you have anything written up we could look at?  Russell is scoping what they think their use case and will add more specific information but I’m sure we must have something written up for using it to pull in asset ids and spare parts.  Has it been used with mWO?  Has it been used with WaDaCo?  Will it work in Apps 10 and Cloud?  Any hardware requirements...etc. Thanks in advance,Jerry

Often times we encounter customer demand for knowledge bases,how can we apply IFS standard functions to meet this demand? For example, when a worker encounters a problem,he or she can use the ifs cloud system to know how to reslove the similar problems in the past.

In the ‘New Fault Report’ Screen, if a User belongs to a Maintenance Organization, can the ‘Maint. Org’ field be populated accordingly? See attached image.

Please confirm whether the options of “All historical WOs”, “All historical WTs” and “All historical Work Task Steps” are available in Equipment Object Navigator in IFS Cloud releases?  If it is not available in the current releases, please confirm whether it will be included in upcoming releases. What is the IFS recommendation or workaround to cater following requirement? I strongly believe this must have been raised by several others customers alreadyNote:It is crucial to cater for an easy and user-friendly way be able to demonstrate the planned, ongoing, and historical maintenance activities. During Audits with the different authorities the offshore and onshore operations are stressed and tested to the limits when it comes to prove their control of the maintenance planning and execution, and specially for the safety and barrier related equipment. From Equipment Object Navigator, there are tabs available to see “All Ac
