Afternoon,I am pretty sure the answer is No, but does anyone know if its possible to connect the Causes in Service and Maintenance to Object Categories in Apps 8? What we are trying to achieve is if an Object is of a certain category, then when we come to report on a work order what the cause of the fault was, that the LOV only displays causes which relate to that object category type.I cannot see anything obvious to link them, but thought I would ask to see if anyone has been able to achieve this.Kind regards,Hayley

We are trying to add downtime reporting in IFS for our Maintenance team.  We are using Apps10, where tasks have been introduced.  I see start and finish times, but i don’t see anything about downtime.  Is there someplace to record this that someone is using that we can also use? 

Hello All, I have setup and configured condition based PM Actions for my assets. However, I am still required to run the Condition Generation background job on a regular basis for my PMs to be created.I have been looking in the system to find a way to schedule this to simply run as a database task/scheduled job, but I have not found a way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,after one year of IFS EAM usage we realized that initially created hierarchy and equipment codes are not complying with our needs and we need to change whole hierarchy  and equipment codes but retaining all PMs, WOs, Routes, Documents, Measurements, etc populated during one year.What could be the possible options of performing this operation?Or the only possible way is to perform mch_code and belongs_to values replacement all across the database ?

In IFS Apps 8, is it possible to create a PM elimination when both events are calendar based?  We have a PM trigger every 3 months for a minor vehicle service.  We also have an annual major service once a year so don’t want the minor vehicle service to trigger at the point the annual major service is triggered.Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

Good Morning Community,We are using IFS APPS 8.I need to delete all inventory stock quantity present in Inventory part in stock window line by line from different location.How I can do this by using Migration Job.It will be very helpful If I get PPT or Document for creation migration job. 

Hi, does anyone know why the Earliest start and latest finish hour is not changing when using a specific calendar id in PM action general tab? It’s changing just the date, but the hour of the calendar is not considering. E.g. The maint org calendar is 7/3 - 24/7 time. but I insert the MAINT calendar in calendar ID that is - just 5 day a week and from 10am to 5pm. the problem is: the maintenance plan of the pm action is not changing the time, just skipping the weekends. Tks in advance  

I cannot seem to create a PM that automatically generates a work order based on dates.  Can you assist?

Is the single page report in work order included in Apps 10 release 8 or later? I am tasked with evaluating our modifications for uplift to Apps 10 when we upgrade next year. We have a couple of custom fields (created by IFS) in our Single Page Report Work Order in Apps 9. I do not see a comparable report in Apps 10 but I need to confirm. 

Hi All ,What would be for you all if there's a capability of defining  different running number series  for WOs as per below …    It could be referring to the  site  /  Maint Org  or as  a combination of above  two  or any other method to define different series for Work order Numbers .In my thought having this enabled it  would add some flavor to work order processing in real grounds..not sure if RnD has any other plans on handling this , like to hear what you all think on this Cheers Isuru

Hi FolksWhat is the most convenient way to manage team/crew members? Is the Resource Navigator the only tool? For example, 5 teams/brigades of 2-3 people go to the field every day, but the composition of the teams may change every day. Maybe some mobile solution for the composition of the team management? 

Hi folks,Does anyone know if Rnd decided to remove the functionality that was available until IFS APP10 UPD7, that we could change assignment status of an employee after transfer to mobile before the user download it. After UPD8, It’s not possible any more. Could anyone help please? The situation of my customer is that it has some external employees that they do a work but don’t have license, therefore the planner needs to assign a task to them and report time using the status change of the assignment.They send to mobile because the have some users that have license.UPD 07 UPD08 and 09 - Not available anymoreTks a lot

In this particular customer project, they have 2 companies operating in China and Taiwan. China uses the simplified Chinese – Sim Sun and Taiwan uses Traditional Chinese – Ming lu. They want to see the standard reports in these respective language forms. I have already configured things for China - where the language is ‘Chinese - simplified (zh)’ with a compatible font (SimHei) and everything is working fine.  The issue I am having is that China does use the zh language code and reading into the ISO standards zh is used for both simplified and traditional by adding the sub-fixes CN and TW. IFS currently has the simplified zh language added and in the RFC 3066 code loaded as zh-CN for China as it should be. My problem is that we cannot use the zh twice as the language to get a RFC 3066 code of zh-TW loaded which should be Traditional. I tried to add the traditional Chinese language using zh and it will not allow me to enter it twice. How do

Hi everyone,could any one help with this issue? I created an assortment, linked two parts and activeted to limit the sync parts to mobile but no parts are shown in mobile.I already linked to the mobile user in mobile parts basic data, sync all the entities.The flag “sync all parts” in TAS is off.I’m using IFSAPP V10 UPD8Do I need to do something else?tks 

We are looking for best practices in IFS10 when it comes to work task planning for several resources.In the example below we have one work task template with one work list connected to several resources. The duration of the work list is 3 hours. In the scenario above, each resource will not use 3 hours, but we want to keep it to one work task since they work together on the task. Is there a way to plan the duration per resource, other than splitting the work list into one work list (and work task) per resource? Our aim is to use the Resource Analysis to analyze the planned hours per resource group. 

Hi,I have read a few whitepapers on portfolio management from IFS. However I have never seen any practical demos or system setup showcasing a solution.Most companies probably run an external tool. So do we but this is not to our satisfaction. Our portfolio management is basically running a spreadsheet managing a portfolio of billions of SEK and a very large number of inititiatives.We are trying to find a solution within IFS. Any experiences or advice would be most welcome.Best RegardsAnders

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to connect a tool/equipment resource to a serial object in IFS Apps 10 but so far I have not succeeded. Does anyone know the exact steps to follow to do so ? I have noticed the empty field “ID object” on the Tool/equipment page but I can access the LOV or enter any data. Thank you everyone. 

I have a customer, who configured PM Actions with ‘Performed Date Based’ option, and wants to schedule the Maintenance Plan lines through Maintenance Planning Board.The Maintenance Plan Lines are scheduled through the MPB and generate the Work Order for the first line and execute. When the Work Order is completed, the succeeding Maintenance Plan Lines in the PM Action will be regenerated and the lines revert to ‘Needs Rescheduling‘ status.  With this, the customer not able to use the MPB for the PM Actions. Any Idea how other customers are doing scheduling with these type of data setups.
