Assets (Asset Management)

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.

Hi All,When I try to accept the Service Quotation which is created from a PM Work Order (Work Order generated from PM Action) getting an error as ‘It is not possible to modify object for a work order generated from a PM action.’ Any idea? Or is it Service Quotation can’t be used for PM Work Orders?ThanksBhaskara

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!

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

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.

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.  Questions: Why is the background job never finished?Is there a limit of how many parts the order proposal creation can handle? Any other limitation when it comes to demands, like planning horizon or similar?

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 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 Recalculated” we end up with 1000 USD as ETC and 2500 USD as EAC. With the forecast option “ETC Recalculated” we end

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,   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?  

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

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!

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.

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.

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? 

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.
