Assets (Asset Management)

I get  error message TASK_RESOURCE_SEQ when I try to open sheet Time Reports on a work order task…  I have checked that everything regarding this has been granted in the role I am using for test.

We are on version 8.  The following Information Message was received when attempting to receive an asset into inventory.  The inventory location is valid.  Were are Inventory Location Expiration Dates set? The Expiration Date for this location is 5/5/2020.  Do you want to proceed with the arrival?

We have been told there is an O&G functionality where the offshore users can view inventory parts onhand on other rigs. We can’t find it in the documentation or in the application. Is someone using it and where is it found? We are running IFS10 UPD8 O&G Extension

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

Hi everybody, I’m trying to raise an information message for remind something. I created Event Action and added this statement but it didnt work. BEGINClient_SYS.Add_Info(Please do not forget to give edit/view access permission for users);END; How can I do it? Thank you

IFS10, UPD8 O&G Extension We are planning to start use the automatic ordering of spare parts based on demands on Work Tasks. To achieve this we have set the planning method to B on all inventory parts, parameters as per below.  Now, we have scheduled the job Create Order Proposal for one site to run each night. The problem is that it runs forever: The job started yesterday morning at 01:00 is still running… Parameters in the scheduled task are set as per below. We want to create an order proposal for all demands on all parts on work tasks, which is the reason for entering % in the parameters. 

Hi All,  I am planning a work order on an equipment object with an associated manufacturing work order.  My WO has an Obstructive Operation status and I am warned that the Work Task may interfere with planned Shop Orders.  I can see that the correct work centre is listed in the prepare tab.  I have shop order operations planned for the same time as the planned dates in the Work Order.   I cannot seem to see the planned load on the Work Centre where it shows that a Work Order is planned to be executed.  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction as to what I may be missing?

I need some help understanding how Planned Finish Date and time is calculated on the Maintenance Plan of the PM Action. It seems like the system is only looking at the work list with the longest duration when calculating the Planned Finish Date. If I have a work list with duration of 4 hours, my Planned Finish Date will be 4 hours after my Planned Start Date, even though I have multiple operations with shorter durations on the PM Action. I have set up dependencies for all work lists (Finish to Start). RMB on the line and select Jobs and Work Lists displays the correct date and time for each work list and the generated work orders also have the correct planned start and finish values. Any suggestions on how to fix the Planned Finish date on the maintenance plan?

Hi lads,I’m exploring of OEE Analysis Result, using IFS RACE and some data already existed.Are there any connections between Work Order or PM with Event/Actions/Production Units in OEE to construct the figures reflected in OEE Analysis?How to connect those data ? Sooo desperate!  

Dear community, I wonder if the following is possible? any ideas would be great. Create PR and Convert to PO for non-part line Create WO on serial object Connect PO created in Step 1 to Work Order so costs can be captured on the Work Order?I know you can peg the Material Req demand to existing PO “manual pegging” but this is for non-inventory part or non part coded items. Any help would be great. Thanks.David 

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

Hi,   Is there a way for a user to receive an alert when a part is received in stock /manufactured other than subscribing to changes on the purchase orders or shop orders.   Thanks !

We have a Lobby Element that summarizes orders by status for 4 date periods. Now we want drill-down capabilities so when they click on any of the Status rows they see the detail behind it- Order#, Status, Date, Quantity, Price.   I couldn’t find any documentation on this- does some exist? I didn’t see an Element that has this; Link looks like it just drills down into a screen, not a report. Would it/could it drill down into the Customer Order screen with parms to restrict results?  

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

Hi, we have a prospect customer in Tel aviv, Israel and seeking the local support. Could anyone introduce a local IFS partners? Thank you!

Hello all!  I have been banging my head trying to figure out the correct API to generate a query that will monitor all Returned for Rework QTY that have not been received back into our inventory.  To give context, in Purchase Order Receipt, we add a QTY to inspect and then register inspection result. A RETWORK transaction is generated and the item is extracted out of the system. The PO line has been reopened and can be used as a receipt once the item returns. We would like to monitor which items have had a RETWORK but not returned yet.  So far, I cannot find a screen that will monitor this. I think I might be able to create a script that will look at the QTY that have been returned under Purchase Order Receipt against the QTY subtracted against the QTY still needing to be delivered under the PO Line. I’m not sure if this is the best route to proceed though.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Community, I have a work order that is failing to close out due to this error: The Planned Date is not a valid working day according to the Calendar specified for Revision 2 of PM Action... The Planned Date is May 25, which is Memorial Day, but I can’t change it. And I’m not sure why the Maintenance Plan would have planned it for that day in the first place. In any case, thoughts on how to get around this?

Is it possible to increase the character count length on the Directive field in Fault Reports/Work Orders? We’re finding that the current length is too short for us and making work a little difficult.   We understand there is the Long Desc field which is where we put the more detailed, but for many of our Work Orders the Directive simply isn’t long enough for what we want.

Hi all, We want to use Aurena but it has a lot of errors and functionality missing.   For example: Create a purchase requisition by using the wizard, and without articles, you can not “Connect it” to a work order or a work order task… only Project and ordinary account-dimensions…   Are we the only customer  who is missing this ?  

Why would an asset not appear in a depreciation proposal? It is an active status object with a book and depreciation method specified, acquisition and valid from dates have passed and depreciation is not marked on hold? 

When adding demand for a Rental Part in a Project Activity, the Project Supply can be initiated and a Purchase Order is created. As the planned rental duration days is mostly estimated at this time, this number is changed during the Project Lead time on many occasions. When the quantity of rental duration days is changed in the Project Demand there is no option to modify the open Purchase Order. This option is only available if the required quantity of the of a Rental Part is changed, however this does not occur too often. The asset to hire remains 1 pcs on most occasions but the duration is flexible. Only option is to change the demand in the Project Navigator AND to manually change the number of rental duration days in the Purchase Order. This leads to mismatched in the system and to hard to match supplier invoices when administration is not up-to-date. Then there is also a strange thing that when changing the rental duration days in Rental Workbench (so the t

Hi, I hope this will be an easy one for people. I’m using Apps 9. For Purchased Parts, I can understand how to update the Inventory Part Estimated Material Cost using the Update Estimated material Cost using either Latest or Average Purchase Cost, which are themselves recalculated on a regular basis.  But it doesn't seem to be so straightforward to update the estimated material cost for a manufactured part. I can calculate Cost Set 2 (estimated material cost) for all manufactured parts but how can I then update the Estimated Material Cost on the Inventory Part with this figure. Or use the lot/batch cost history to calculate the latest/average material cost in a similar way to purchased parts. Or doesn't it matter that the Estimated Material Cost is not kept updated. Thanks!

We are running Apps8 and we are going to be moving our current stock to a new warehouse.  Is there is an easy way to do a bulk inventory move?  We’ve looked into a simple find & replace and that only works on certain fields, not location.  Most are serialized items that obviously already exist in IFS.  Doing them via Inventory Part in Stock will take a very long time.  My assumption is there is a way to do this, but being fairly new to IFS we aren’t quite sure.  Does anyone have a good way to move these assets in bulk?  Thank you in advance!!

  Im working on sorting work orders, to do that I manually write in the number according to another number in the object ID, this takes a very long time.  I have several work orders that all have the same object ID, and I want the same number written on the column called sorting. Is it possible to sort the work orders automatically, numbered according to the object ID number? For example; Pylon number 123 (Object ID: 123) has 17 work orders, these must all be number 123 in the sorting column.

We are investigating how we can use Project forecasting in a way to follow up the forecasted total cost of a project (activity).  Now, we have entered estimates for all activities.  Planned cost driver: Estimated Cost Progress method: Manual Our idea is to have the estimated cost as the initial EAC. BUT if the actual costs exceed the EAC we would like the actual cost in relation to the manually entered cost progress to be calculated as the EAC.  Example 1:  Estimated cost = 1000 USD Actual cost = 1500 USD Cost progress = 100% This would lead to EAC = 1500 USD Example 2:  Estimated cost = 1000 USD Actual cost = 1500 USD Cost progress = 50% This would lead to EAC = 3000 USD This is definately not how IFS is designed. But whatever alternative we try out, we end up with the estimated cost of 1000 USD either as the ETC or the EAC of the budget.  With the forecast option “EAC Re
