when a non-inventory part, which all our Services are, is attached to the PM Action the calendar generator errors out & the work order does not generate

When a tool/equipment is connected to a serial object, work orders can be created against either the Tool/Eq Object ID, or the Equipment Object ID (part no + serial no). However only WOs to the tool/eq ID are registered in the WORK ORDERS tab in the Tool/Equipment detail page. Seems if there is a connection, the object ID for a new WO should only be allowed against the tool/eq ID, or WOs against the Eq Obj ID should also be registered in the WORK ORDERS tab in the Tool/Equipment detail page.Example 

 HelloHow can I create a view like the one in the image where I can add steps and at the end I can generate a work order.It would be with 3 steps (Next) and a finish, in each step it would require several necessary data.The traditional process does not work for the client and they want this type of screen.  

We have a scenario at a customer who wants to record WIP for work task transactions.  Everything works as expected using cost code rules.  The only issue that we are facing is that the maintenance purchase requisition which invokes M91, M92 and M93.  We understand that when the invoice is matched TP3 overtakes M93, but the issue is if all other transactions are going to WIP when transacted but the MPR costs are not going to WIP for M91 since the control type is not available on M91.  This issue is related to work orders not connected to projects, since projects has the GP3 functionality but the work task does not have another posting control that we can find.  Has anyone faced this issue and if so how did you resolve it?See below example. Issue- Work task cost code rule is not applied for external purchases in work order (maintenance purchase requisitions). Test steps- Define below work task cost code. WIP code and a cost code.  Define below work task code Rules    Define posting contr

Could someone explain what the intended use is of below items on the the Cases in IFS:Hand-over References Business Objects Attachments Currenly I am investigation a few requirements for a customer but I can't find the explanation of use cases for these options to connect "Objects” to a Case. 

Hi everyone.We have a customer requirement where the asset structure needs to be snapshot at a specific state. The reason is that the “old” structure is needed for billing reasons. Is there such a function in EAM that allows to view the structure in the past? T&RDADUDE

Hi all, I’m trying to generate the invoice preview lines for a service contract line for a past period (2021). It is not generating it and leaving a gap in the invoice plan lines. The service line is valid in the period. The Invoice Period I try to generate the invoice plan is for 01/01/2021 to 31/03/2021  And there is a valid periodic price tooBut it won’t generate that missing period, leaving a gap in the invoice plan lines page. See below. Appreciate if anyone can explain why. We are on Cloud 23R2​

Hi,I don't see a button “Check Out”?  

Hello everyone, Does anyone know if it is possible to invoice a maintenance intervention from the MWO? Best regards

Is there a way to connect a FUNCTIONAL OBJECT and tool/equipment without it being a serialized part? Business case - customer has company-owned thermal chambers (in functional object structure) that are used for testing of customer-owned part assemblies. when work order is raised against the assembly, they want to "check out" the tool for use on the task, and track when/what chamber was used for. They also need to perform PMs against the chamber itself to make sure it is calibrated, functioning as expected. Seems like the only way to connect the two is if it is a serialized object. For major tools like the thermal chambers, we wish to have them in the equipment structure (Equipment Object Navigator) but do not want to go through the additional steps of having to set them up as Master PartsPer IFS Documentation, "It may be assets defined with a part number and or lot/serial numbers. It may also be assets defined directly in the asset register without a part number. In those cases the As

Dear community, I wonder if the following is possible? any ideas would be great. Create PR and Convert to PO for non-part line Create WO on serial object Connect PO created in Step 1 to Work Order so costs can be captured on the Work Order?I know you can peg the Material Req demand to existing PO “manual pegging” but this is for non-inventory part or non part coded items. Any help would be great. Thanks.David 

Once an inventoried material is added to either Serial Object or Functional Object under the Spare Parts tab, how do you then select that material when you are in a Work Order under the Materials tab?

Customer is on 23R1 and Event ID “PCM_CALENDAR_GENERATION” (Entity = PmCalendarPlan) is not available. We’ve looked in several customer environments and demo environments and the event seems to ONLY be in demo environments. Has this been deprecated?  

Hi, The customer requested to introduce a client script error-handling function for the FSM application. It allows them to attempt to execute code (the try block) and catch any exceptions (errors) that occur (in the catch block), preventing the application from crashing.  Could you please check the above-mentioned enhancement request and try to include this feature in the future UPD version of the FSM application? Thank You.

Hi IFS Guru,I have a scenario where I need to create Automatic Generation of PM WO through Calendar but for specific Object IDs, as our plant is in commissioning stage, we have created PM actions for all the equipment but in preliminary status, some of equipment handed over to Operations and PM Action is in active status, now we need to implement Auto Generation (Avoid going manually to each PM action and click Generate WO) system should be able to create PM WOs (as a background) based on interval for specific Object IDS (that is very important). System should not generate PM WO for all the Object ID even if it is in Active Status. We are using IFS Cloud Web version: 22.2.8.20230509084539.0.Appreciate your help on this matter. Shehzad

The topic PM Condition based, due date calculation is closed but I have a contribution.I had already researched this subject and realized that there is a lot of misinformation here in the community. Another customer asked again and I found the file below. It doesn't detail the calculation but defines the main concepts involved.This is my contribution to this topic and I hope it helps others. 

Hi All, Anyone know on how to change default date format on IFS Cloud. Because the date format is not the same with PC local date format, causing confusion when reading date 03/01/2024 is 3rd January or 1st March of 2024. Have been looking around for solution, but found no answer.  Thanks.

Hi All,When work tasks are generated by calendar generation based on a PM group, the description of the PM group is updated as the work task description. But our requirement is that the definition of the Task Template ID of the PM action should be updated as the Work Task Description. Is there a facility in the system to change this setup?

Is there a background job or property setting that will automatically set a Work Task's Status to FINISH when: all its Assignments are COMPLETE or CANCELLED and  all its Costs are either AUTHORIZED or TRANSFERRED?Thank you,

When calculating the actual worked hours in the Work Assignment window, it calculates as 'assignment finished - work start.' Is it possible to know if there is any specific reason for using this?

Hi. I am looking for confirmation that when an RMA is created for a Rental Return in IFS Cloud, that it cannot be returned to a different Site and that this is not something that can be changed? When changing the Return to Site in the RMA Header, this can be changed, but not when the RMA contains rental lines?  

Hi All, I have a question on connecting my Functional Object to a Technical Class (and Attributes). I did following:Created a Technical Class Created Technical Attributes (Numeric and Alphanumeric) Created Technical Class Template and connecting various Technical Atributes to the Class Template, and including ‘Attribute Values’ to the Alphanumeric AttributesCreated an Object Type Connected a Technical Class to my Object Specified the correct values for my Technical Attributes connected to the Object Type Approved my Technical Class for the Object TypeNavigate to Functional Object Add Object Type to my Functional Object This populated the tab ‘Requirements’ with the attributes from the Technical Class connected to the object type But…..Why are the values I specified on the Object Type not copied to the Functional Object? Shouldn’t this be populated as well? Maybe I am not understanding the functionality correct but I would assume the Technical Attributes of the Object Type Technical Cla

Hey there, I wrote a data mapper which was returning hundreds of thousands of records inadvertently and hanging up ETM. I close ETM but the process still runs in the background and completely bogs down the server. Is there a way to kill this process? Will the standard Task Manager kill do the trick?For some reason, in our instance, I’m told that ETM must be reinstalled every time this happens. Thanks!T
