Assets (Asset Management)

When you are in work task template there are two fields available that both are called “Created by” and gives different search results. When using advanced search i can see that one is connected to “CreatedById” and one to “DoneBy”. This makes me confused since i cant find information about “DoneBy”. I think this is difficult to understand and very confusing for customers.1. Using search condition “created By” that is connected to CreatedById2. Using search condition “created By” that is connected to DoneBy

When creating a New Database task for PM Calendar generation, I have seen examples for the Start and Stop Date being added.  Some of the examples I have seen are actual dates:Question:1- Are these dates actually needed on the Database Task?  When you create a New Schedule, you can add the Start and Stop Dates on that page.2 - Can these dates be in the past (as shown in the screenshot)? Would this prevent any PM Actions outside the Start and Stop Date being generated? or does the date on the New Schedule override these dates?3 - Can you just have SYSDATE and SYDATE+7 for the Start and Stop Dates? Thanks,Gregg 

We have recently implemented automatic reservations in our system for customer orders to attempt to give customers a better real time knowledge of our inventory availability. We are currently reserving blanket orders 60 days out due to items with longer lead-times, while all other orders 365 days out to capture anything that may have got an extended lead time due to supply chain issues. We are experiencing issues in that we are increasing inventory levels by so much due to the amount of blanket orders we service and this is putting a stress on our total inventory value. Have you or other customers used automatic reservations and how has it affected your business? Do you have solutions or tips for ways to handle automatic reservations better?

Hello all,One of the deliverables on the implementation of Asset Management (Service and Maintenance in IFS) is to get insight in future activities.Now I know it is possible to generate Work Tasks, which we could summarize and present. But I don't believe this would suit the request for a Long Term Maintenance Plan.Such a plan (I imagine) would give an overview of larger maintenance activities (overhauls/ revisions/ modifications etc.). Could someone please assist me on this topic? Thanks in advance!Wout

Hi All.Could someone help how could I set up an object transformation from TaskTemplateWorkStep to PmActionWorkStep?My need is to transform an image from worktaskstep template to the pm actions and finally to a workorder. Also as I create a new revision from it.This is the transformation I’m using:TASK_TEMPLATE_ID=PM_ACTION_JOB_API.Get_Std_Job_Id(pm_no,pm_revision,work_list_no),TASK_TEMPLATE_REV=PM_ACTION_JOB_API.Get_Std_Job_Revision(pm_no,pm_revision,work_list_no),WORK_LIST_NO=ROW_NO,WORK_STEP_SEQ=pm_action_work_step_seqTrying to do but getting the error bellow: Tks a lot  Server error messages:580416c0-2cbc-4384-b02a-337d04fabb24Ifs.Fnd.FndSystemException: Unexpected error while calling server method AccessPlsql/Invoke ---> Ifs.Fnd.FndServerFaultException: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallFailed executing statement (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallORA-06512: at line 16ORA-06512: at "IFSPET.OBJ_C

A service quotation is created and a work order was connected to service quotation using the connect service option, a task template was connected with work order, which got populated on the service quotation as well, service quotation is in released status, then status of Work task template is changed to obsolete and created a new revision of work task template. Now if we try to create new revision of the Service Quotation, we are getting error, that task template is obsolete and its not allowing to disconnect the work order from quotation, nor we are able to change the task template on work order

in the resource demands or in work task template/ PM action resources we can enter ‘additional qualifications’ by RMB option. Then the additional qualifications check box will be checked for the demand line. Other than that, how do we find out about additional qualifications that are required for an employee? when we ‘assign work’ the certificate requirement is not taken as a constraint. ( we can assign to any employee in resource group).  So when we do the work assignment how can we find out which employees has the certificate ( or not!) in a resource group?  

Hi,We are on Update 12. I created and progressed the Repair Work Order and stuck at the stage where I need to place Serial Object to structure to change position from Issued to InFacility.When I use RMB on Report In Work Order → Place Serial in Equipment Structure and pick Functional Object against which I want to place it I get the error message “Object is already used in a PM Action or Work Order”. I have Work Orders against this Serial but they all either Finished or Cancelled. Surely it cant stop me to send equipment back to customer if I was fixing this part before? 

I like to delete a SITE but I get the message

This comment was posted before by someone else. But having looked the responses it doesn’t appear that was for the latest IFS version so I cannot find the page specified in those answers. I want to delete original Object Group, but I have this error:“The Fa Object Group is used by 1 rows in another object (Fa Ogrp Met Per Book)”There is no object created yet, and I don’t know what I have to do because “Fa Ogrp Met Per Book” doesn’t mean anything, and there is no menu with “Book” or “Ogrp” when I use the search bar…And no, Ogrp is not an error, it’s exactly what is written…Thanks a lot

Measurements for Object Meter Change IssueA serial object had an incorrect meter value entered using the change meter function - now the total value is too high and everything we try to fix it, just keeps increasing the value more/won’t register as a valid transaction. We need to reduce the accumulated value - should be total value of 7046. It doesn’t let you go back and mark meter readings as incorrect when there is a meter change out after it.

Hi,I’d like to manage several equipments trees (function and location for example). I know we can do it with IFS Cloud and previous versions but I’ve just seen it seems we have limitations with all trees except the “function” one.I explain:I want to manage a hierachy (Function tree) with Technical lot/Sub Technical Lot/Equipment Type/EquipmentIn this strucutre, I’ll have a “water tank” (functional object) in the Sub Technical Lot level and its child “pump01” (serial object) in the equipment level. Moreover, I also want to have a separate tree for locations so I’ve decided to use the “Location” tree.The hierarchy would be Site/Ground/Zone/Building/Floor/local However, I’m facing an issue because I’d like to place the serial object “Pump01” under “Building” level but IFS does not allow me to do it (there is NO structure zone in the serial object record). It means I must move both the parent (functional object) and its child to have it in this kind of tree.Finally I’ll have the Water Tank

Does anyone have some decent work procedures from soup to nuts written up for the set up, processes, and sub-processes for the new next generation service management?

Our EAM customer is looking for a reference how to apply e-Class classification for parts.We do have characteristics and we do have assortment in the application. Have you applied e-Class classification amongst your customers, and if yes - how?(We are running Cloud 22R1)(https://eclass.eu/en) 

Hi,does someone know what’s the difference between a serial object and a tool now in IFS Cloud 21R1 and after? I explain:with a serial object we can create Wos, PM actions on it, PM programs, report some measurements, connect it as a resourcewith a tool, we can also create Wos, PM actions on it, PM programs, report some measurements, connect it as a resource.However, I can also connect the tool to a serial object but what for? The on ly reason why I find is because we cant’ have any cost/revenue analysis uusing tool (as we can for objects and its structure).If this button exists for this reason, so why don’t we have cost/rev analysis form them instead of having to manage so many IFS Objects (part serial, serial objects, tools)? The last differentiator I see for tool is that we can also use a tool on a work order but not using a serial Object Resource in a WO (except assigning the SO on this WO)? It would be great if someone has the reason why it’s like that… Thanks

Has anyone made good use of functionality in IFS Cloud to hold information on a Lease, and also Insurance flow for management of Assets? It can be, or it can include, configuration with Custom LU’s and data elements.    

Hi, we have been using aurena tech portals for 7-8 months in apps 10 now. However, our utilization rate is too low. There are a few reasons for that:we need to use work task assignments, not applicable for parts of our org. the solution requires online connection UI is a bit tiny on phone size devices (font etc)what would you recommend us going forward? Aurena native? Optimizing our tech portal? Partner solutions?
