Assets (Asset Management)

Hi All, In IFS Applications 10, when statuses are updated on Work Tasks the Work Order status does not follow the Work Tasks progress fully.​Work Order and Work Task statuses follow each other in the process, but not to status Finished. New functionality is added to let user decide if the Work Orders should get status Finished when all connected Work Tasks are set to status Finished or Cancelled.​ I would like to know whether there is a setting to change this behavior? Thanks & Best Regards,Nipun

Hi everyone, I would like your help regarding inventory part and fixed asset.My client purchases Fixed Assets and store it in warehouse.

Dear All, I am looking for solution to manage the serial objects in standard IFS without Oil & Gas extension. When serial object is moved to another site through inventory process and placed in structure on new site, its header site id does not change and has no impact on the WO Site field on PM Actions. Can this be managed with help of events at two places where the site on serial object and WO site on PM action can be changed. Has anybody tried it ? This query is for Apps 10 Update 10. Thanks for your reply in advance. Regards,Srinivas

Once I change the columns order or the visibility in Aurena, the change is correctly saved but I can not see it in my personal profile. Here is an example, I have changed lines on Customer Order like this:But in my profile I see only these changes: Does it mean that changes are saved somewhere else? Or they are not visible from any client?Thank you for your answers

Does IFS 8 have Graphical Object Structure in Service and maintenance, what the navigation address for it,

In the Customer Order process, we have manufactured a Serial Part via a Shop Order, with multiple Serialized components.  The Master Part is set up as Serialized with the Multi-level Tracking checkbox selected.  The Sales Part has the the Create SM Object checkbox selected.  When the Serial Part is returned from the customer, all of the serial parts are visible on the Equipment Object Navigator for the Serial Object.  This is expected.ScreenshotsPart Serial>Serial Structure TabEquipment Object Navigator (after Customer Order Return) We are using the Rental Management Module and the Sales Parts is set up as a Sales type as Sales and Rental, with the Create SM Object checkbox selected.When the Serial Object is Rented on a Customer Order (Rental Order Line Tab) and is Returned to Inventory, via an RMA, the Serial Components do not appear on the Equipment Object Navigator.  It seems the Rental process should be like the Sales process and the Serial Components should show up as well.  Ha

Does anyone have any documentation on Work Order Invoicing functionality in IFS 10?Thanking you in advance for your assistance and time.Johannes

I am trying to add actual costs (cost type ‘external’) into a work order (to pull through to the GL).  It is allowing me to add external costs and authorize/finish the work order but no GL posting is created - the transaction is set as CSS (Cost of Sold Services), type ‘EAM’. Is there any way to get around this? Apps 9.

Dear All,In EAM/ESM Solution we define resource group and configure data in Resource navigator. We add person id’s for identified resource groups in resource navigator as well. Cost is defined at resource group level in APPS 10.In one of my project, customer is managing facilities management services where work involved is pest control activity or daily/weekly facilities maintenance. Often IFS Client (were we are implementing IFS) needs to give a Service Quotation for Call off jobs (jobs not linked to service contract and will be as an when required basis) to their customer. Here requirement is say service engineers cost has to be planned in service quotation then the cost linked to resource group linked will be fetched. But practically the salary of each service engineer will be different and they want to calculate personnel cost based on cost of resource id and not on cost of resource group. Conditions like salary hikes, resignations will also be cost constraints to be considered her

In IEE there is a tab called ‘Linear Asset’ tab in PM action window, but it Aurena client it cannot be found in the PM action window. 

Hi, Is there anyway to change the ‘Currency Code; on the Sales tab on a Work Order once the time/expense has been entered?  Without doing a workaround of setting the line to non-invoiceable and creating a new external cost type entry for the time/expense.   Thanks,Jo 

Hi Teeam,Unlike “Run Code String Completion” under Distribution and Manufacturing voucher transfer, we do not  have the same functionality  under “Maintenance Voucher Transfer” , this causing lot of issue problem while transferring the “Work task re-posting transaction” all the transaction fall in error as code string completion value attached to  account does not copied.Regards,Mukesh Gupta

OEE access paths not visible in Aurena application.Does that functionality available in Aurena Application (any track)?

Hi Community, Is there any functionality or work around that any one of you have come across in generating Work Order via PM Actions based on predictions.Ex: PM Action for Object LV-100 is defined to run on condition based generation. every 5000km the maintenance need to be done. Customer does the meter reading entry on a daily basis, thus they are very keen to see whether there is any possibility of triggering work orders based on predicted meter reading so they can plan the work up front.Customer is using Apps 10 Upd 11. Thanks in Advance! Malik

Version = APPS10 UPD9Hi All, Trying to resolve a query and subsequent navigation issue within the lobby data source & element.We currently have a query that gets the object structure in a tree format based on the combination of Belongs to Site and Belongs to object ID (Both Variables). We then use the navigation section of the element to basically redirect the page back to itself appending the page variables to the URL which applies the filters and allows the users to step down in the structure. When this is the head site and object ID’s i have no issue but as we move down the object tree the site changes as we need the controls in the data scheme and the issue appears as the Belongs to Site does not correspond with the belong to Object ID and we cannot view any data, as a note buy manually updating the page filter to the new site it works fine but i would prefer that the user does not have to do this. As we click the element to move to the next level this should follow.As a note,

Looking for anyone that is able to charge customer rental lines by frequency shipped rather than duration of time ‘on rent’. Thank you!

I am wondering why sometimes the Planned Start Date  in V10 shows up in the Maintenance Plan and sometimes it doesn’t. I was thinking it must be a simple click somewhere, or a field doesn’t always have a value.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,

We are using Apps 10 upd 7.If a serial object was migrated into the system with make maintenance aware with an operational condition of Non Operational it shows to have a Current Position of InInventory. However, the object is not counted in “Inventory Parts” and it does not show up in “Inventory Part In Stock”, therefore I am unable to move the object to InFacility. I have tried changing the operational condition to Operational, but I still get the same results. Any help would be appreciated.

Is it possible via system parameter to disable auto creation of Invoice Specification (One per Work Order / Task)?Running Apps 10 update 9!
