Assets (Asset Management)

We have an approval workflow for maintenance, wherein, we would like to specify a person or a list of users that can set in prepare work-order to a “released” status.  Is this possible using Event Actions?  or some other techniques?

Does anyone know how to change a serial number on a serial object after it already has history against it? 

We would like to do in bulk for all PM - Re-generate plan. Any help appreciated?As we use the RMB option to Re-generate plan for one PM in the PM action header ???

I’ve heard that the origin lies in the Swedish nuclear management programme, back in the 1980s, but don’t know if this is just a rumor or not.

We have two scenario’s where we cannot ‘issue’ a material line on work order.  The WO Task and the Material status are both released and if I create a new Material order for the same item, task and site, I can release and issue the newly created Material order.  Hoping someone might have come across this already and can help.  ThanksShelley

Hello, I am trying to delete an Object ID in the Equipment Object Navigator, but to do that I need to delete the PMs associated with the Object ID. I created a few to test some things and now need to delete them. I cannot delete the Work Order or Pm Actions because it is used in Pm Action Calendar Plan. I also cannot edit the calendar because said Pm Actions are Obsolete. They should not have any Time ($$$) associated with them, so why can’t I delete them? 

I’m searching for a solution for the following E2E flow:Quotation is required to offer work with separated time for travel and work because of different duration (e.g. travel: 3 h, work: 6 h) Accept the quotation and create a work order with work task; for both time planning it may be necessary to offer different sales prices and/or discounts as the price/discount according the customer’s pricing retrieval suggests Schedule the created work order/task and assign it to a resource Transfer the work task to the mWO of the assigned technician On mWO the technician starts travel and when he arrived at the customer he starts work and returns the task to the backofficeAt the end of the process the work order should be invoiced as quoted (confirmed sales prices/discounts from the quotation).Additional requirement: no separate work task for travel and work should be necessary because of too much administration (handling of work assignments in the backoffice and for the technician) and possible

Good Afternoon,Our Warehouse Department has asked if there is a process within IFS where we can set up procedure relating to Stock Management and Movement Control. I have noticed within IFS there are the following functionalities: However I am unfamiliar with their use and what they can offer?  Basically we require a system to ‘Track & Trace’ as and when equipment is issued on a temporary basis from our Warehouse to our sub departments. I notice above there may be a Bar code option ?Can anyone advise if there is a user guide reference or if any readers have used a similar process.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your support.Best RegardsDave MooreStar Refrigeration Ltd.

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.

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
