Assets (Asset Management)

Hello, I would like some help to understand how postings works for Service and maintenance module (IFS V8).I need to use operations and time reports on work orders but the use of these functions create postings on which I have some issues. After authorizing postings, when I want to change WO status to Finished, I get an error message : " There is no project cost/revenue element to code part value ". I tried to Exclude from project follow-up the involved code part value but I had another issue when I changed WO status "Project Connections cannot be created for this account". I would like to know how to configure postings/accounts in order to finish work orders with operations and time report ? Is it required to set up a project cost/revenue element to use postings in Service and maintenance module ?Also, I don't understand what is the link between work orders and project because in my tests I never linked work orders with project activities,

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. Release the PO and send the serial to supplier through the component CO. Return to the PO line and RMB, select Options for External Service Orders -> Scrap Parts at Supplier. You will get the error message, “There are active work order connected to equipment object”.

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
