Assets (Asset Management)

Cloud, Type Designation in Inventory Part vs Equipment Objects:I noticed that we have a field on Inventory Part named "Type Designation". My first thougt was: Great, now when I create a Serial Object from a serial tracked part then the "Type Designation" from Inventory Part will be inherited to the Serial Object! But no, it does not work like that! When I looked into it I noticed that the field on Inventory Part named "Type Designation" is a free text field, with a lenght of 25 characters.But in Functional Object and Serial Object we have a field Type Designation with a length of 30 characters, and this field Type Designation is connected to a list of value (Basic Data). So there are no functionality between these fields!I think it is confusing with two different fields, with the same label and no functionality between them! Or do I miss something here?

When we create a repair work order from a serial object and return the object to inventory, it will be recorded under the “Returns” tab in Prepare Work Order window automatically. But a separate line is not automatically reported under “Materials” tab to issue the materials again. So user need to add it manually to issue parts manually to work order as in the below screenshot. But it seems that this is working properly for the serial parts unlike for the serial objects. Can this be considered for releases in near future? 

Has anyone used PM Actions to generate a Work Order of a type that represents a Pre-Start check ?The PM Action functionality can be used to generate this type of Work Order weekly or daily on selected Assets.The generated work order then serves as a platform to execute a survey to run through the pre-start checklist questions on the Technician Portal. It also serves as a platform to create any new or additional work identified during the checks. This also drives the workflow for the completion of the checks and the digitalisation of the checklist responses.Also, interested to see other ways in which Pre-Start checks on machinery can be handled in IFS Cloud.

Hi All, Anybody know what is causing this error when I try to make a Serial Object from a Part Serial using ‘Make Maintenance Aware’?  “Field [EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_SEQ] is mandatory for Equipment Object Party and requires a value.” Best RegardsRoel   

Hi,I’m seeking info on querying the last log-in details of Aurena users. (In other words, I need to see the users how rarely use the system or less active in the system). I used the following query to get the DBA users who logged into IFS for past 6 months. But that does not show the Aurena users. Is there a specific table that store all end users? SELECT *  FROM dba_users ul WHERE last_login >= SYSDATE - 180; Kind regards,Tharindu

Hello! Currently we are playing around in IFS Service and Maintenance module. Due to some project difficulties and lack of resources the option has mentioned to start working in the Test-environment.This will work, however all of the data created by working with the module may be potentially lost. This is because I do not know the process of migrating “historical” data (from Work Tasks/ Fault Reports).Is this possible? Can I copy/ migrate information from Test to Live? And how should I execute this? Thanks in advance!

I am trying to clean up a work task under Maintenance where the costs were not set up properly before the resources charged time to it.  They are at 0.00.  I updated (we are not using HR rates, but Maint Org rates) but all time that was charged before the update is still 0.00.  How can I update these costs to reflect the proper rate?  

How can we get the customer to use GIS maps in IFS Applications 10? They would like to view their Assets and their work orders on the GIS map. The assets are not always connected to a specific address, so we need to use Lat / Long coordinates. They will also use Mobile Work Order for Work Order execution.The Customer use G-Tech for GIS mapping today and have licenses for G-techDoes the customer need any particular IFS Licenses for this? Besides the licenses they have for IFS Applications.Is it plug and play or do we need to setup configurations or integration work to achieve this?Is it easier to implement BING maps rather than GIS? 

Hi, Does IFS have the ability to automatically convert Work Order Purchase Requisitions to a Purchase Order? Engineers using MWO create multiple PR Lines that are currently manually created into a PO. We would like the System to do this automatically . Any help / guidance would be apprieciated. Thanks :)

Hi,Is there any way we can set up the cost based on time type; like regular time, overtime etc. I am trying it in apps-10 for maintenance.Regards-Nahin

In Apps 10, I have noticed that when you use mWo and Aurena to report time on a Work Assignment, IFS creates a Work Task Clocking, but if I use my work in IEE I get a Work Task Time Report.  Is there a way to turn off the clocking functionality and only use Work Task Time Reports?

I have a problem with a part that is created in IFS by Novacura Flow software. It creates the Inventory part but it is not appearing in Inventory Part in Stock. A user wants to receive it in to a shop order (in the “Inventory Receipt” tab in “Receive Shop Order”; see screen cap below) but it can’t do that unless the part is in the Inventory Part in Stock screen.The one I have in the screen cap below is just one but there are others.Any help would be appreciated thanks.  

Hello,I’m running into an error trying to use an API method from the equipment object structure costs, and I’m wondering if this is a bug or if it’s intended functionality. If it’s intended functionality, would someone be able to explain why? Below is an example of the issue. For reference, we are running Apps 10 update 13. On equipment objects, there is a tab called cost/year. This shows summed costs that have been transacted against this object. On object V13201 below, the display shows a total cost for 2022 at $300.45. This is actually the sum of 4 different transactions so far, all with the cost type of Expenses. However when I run the API method EQUIPMENT_STRUCTURE_COST_API.Get_Total_Cost_Year('V13201', '104', '2022'), I get a null result returned.To confirm this API method works, I tested it on another object that has multiple cost types associated with it. The screenshot below shows V00042 has a total cost of $743.98 with $449.22 being cost type Expenses and $294.76 being cost t

We are evaluating the possibility to start using preventive and corrective maintenance in IFS10 and would like to have a perspective on the impact in planning and production modules.We would like that if a work center is schedule for preventive maintenance or if there is a work order to correct a mal function that the planning department could see this and the planning method would alert for the non availability of the work center in that date. The same would apply if a corrective work order is open for a specific work center that is not able to work properly.Is this possible? Is there documentation or demo on the subject? 

Has anyone integrated IFS apps with Teletrac Navman previously to obtain measurements such as vehicle odometer readings, operating hours and GPS Tracking data (x,y co-ordinates) etc. ?Or even similar software. Do you have any experiences to share ?

I have a problem when trying to move a Functional object in the objects structure in IFS10, update16. I get an error message saying ‘Object is already used in a Pm Action or Work order’. OK, that’s true but I can’t see any prerequisities regarding that in the online help.I also tried to Finish all active work orders but that didn’t help.So, is this a dead end? Will I never ever be able to move a Functional object to a new parant if there once was a work order for it?

Hello,I am trying to find a way to easily replace obsolete work task templates in IFSAPPS10. I found a thread about the same questions, but it is not clear to me.Obsolete revisions on PM Actions | IFS CommunityCurrently the only effective method known to me is as follows.Create Work Task Template Revision Create revision on relevant PM Programs Replace Work Task Template in PM Programs Apply new revision on relevant objects Correct Start Value (effective change date)This seems to be a lot of work, so I found the function: Replace Obsolete Work Task Templates On PM Actions. But this does not update existing active PM Actions. So I found the thread and was hopeful to try to change the Work Task Template via RMB on the header. Unfortunately, I am unable to try this due to the fact it keeps being grayed out. Several tests later, trying out new revisions, status changes. I remain unable to select these options. Can someone help me?

Hello, We would like to start assigning Work Orders to specific technicians. Currently I know how to allocate Work Orders via the Active Work Order screen.  This would be fine to start working with, unfortunately I am unable to directly view if an order is allocated to a person. This makes it difficult to assign specific Orders to specific persons.Is there a way to directly view and assign/ allocate resource in one screen?Furthermore, I can assign a multiple people to a single Work Order. If one technician would accept the work, will the work disappear from the screen of the other technician(s)?Finally, could this process be automated? To be assigned using Qualifications (Resource Details)?
