It is not possible to use the RMB option “Scrap Parts at Supplier” from a PO line for an object connected part when an active work order exists. PrerequisitesCreate an inventory part and create a supplier for purchase part record for the same. Allow external services for the same. Create an object and connect to an inventory part.Test PlanCreate a WO and enter above created object id. Create a task and add a return line for the part connected to the object. Receive the serial to the inventory. Create a requisition with order code 6 from the WO and create the PO.

Hi, All!Customer has the situation, when the route is generated through the several PM Actions.This is possible using the merge functionality.So, user has one work order containing many work tasks from different Pm Actions.For this route maintenance team has to ask for some vehicle to arrive all the equipment objects on the route.Assigning the vehicle to each task separately not looks like the good idea.Is there any approach to do such resource assignment for whole work order or for number of tasks not making a lot of clicks?May be there is another functionality to register vehicle (or any tools) usage in maintenance process for such routes?Or user can register the trip for the route and somehow assign the usage of company's or his own car?The main point here is to map the route with vehicle/tools usage.And, the usability of process also does matter.Thanks in advance!

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

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?

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
