Assets (Asset Management)

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.

Hi , I am trying to capture week numbers ( 1/1/20 being week 1 and 31/12/20 being week 52). This is so i can report breakdown time on a week to week bases and then display in a chart for, lest say 10 week and then see a trend. I have tried the DATEPART command  but with no success.   Any suggestions?     select JT_TASK_UIV.STATE, JT_TASK_UIV.TASK_SEQ, JT_TASK_UIV.ACTUAL_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION, JT_TASK_UIV.REPORTED_DATE, JT_TASK_UIV.ACTUAL_FINISH, JT_TASK_UIV.ERROR_TYPE, JT_TASK_UIV.PERFORMED_WORK, JT_TASK_UIV.SITE, JT_TASK_UIV.ITEM_CLASS_ID, JT_TASK_UIV.ACTUAL_START, JT_TASK_UIV.ACTUAL_OBJECT_ID as "Serial Object", JT_TASK_UIV.PRIORITY_ID, JT_TASK_UIV.DESCRIPTION, EQUIPMENT_SERIAL_UIV.MCH_CODE, EQUIPMENT_SERIAL_UIV.MCH_LOC, EQUIPMENT_SERIAL_UIV.MCH_POS, DATEPART (wk, JT_TASK_UIV.ACTUAL_FINISH) AS week from &AO.JT_TASK_UIV LEFT OUTER JOIN &AO.EQUIPMENT_SERIAL_UIV ON  &AO.JT_TASK_UIV.ACTUAL_OBJECT_ID = &AO.EQUIPMENT_SERIAL_UIV.MCH_CODE  WHERE STATE IN ('Work Done','Finished',

I would like to send a Serial Object back to a supplier for refurbishment. When I try to return a Serial Object from the sequipment tructure to inventory, I  we get the error message 'Serial No <Serial No> of Part No <Part No> is already in inventory'. There is no other Serial Object or Part Serial with the Serial No in the system.

Hi Everyone,   Once material has been loaded to a Preventative Maintenance Plan and it is viewable in a Single Page Report, how does one generate a picklist to issue material to a Works Order?

I have a lobby element which uses year period as a parameter, is there a way to have the description show in the title, rather than just the year period. e.g. if I enter ($YEAR_PERIOD$) in the title, it correctly shows 2020-07, but I’d like it to show January 2020.   Is there a way to use a SQL query in the title?

Hi, Anyone implememented Aurena for maintenance technicians on mobile devices?   Would be interesting to hear pros and cons.   Best Regards Anders

Good day, we are using apps 9.  I have a question about combining condition based work order and time based work orders.  We have engines that require maintenance every so many hours or at a specific time interval.  Is there a way to create a PM in the service and maintenance area that would handle that? Thanks in advance

In IFS 8, is it possible to calculate the stock ageing if the raw material is maintained in a single line(not lot batch wise, material is shown in a single line,lot batch as “*”)? I have seen if we use the FIFO method for the costing, it properly costed as the first in first out. If there is any table used for this what is the name of it? so i can use that table and calculate the stock ageing in the BI Tool.

Looking for some assistance regarding the BIM model functionality in IFS. Has there been an implementation done before where the BIM Model was used as a live business management model of the building? Has IFS done something like this with IoT setup? I am asking because I am busy with an implementation for a Design to Handover Construction process in project management and would like to know how possible it is to include the BIM structures in the design phase to create ease of handover to Maintenance? 

HiIn IFS10 the Maintenance is rebuilt, this is very good step forward and I think it´s very good, but we missing some things. One thing that we missing is to show Work Task Steps in Object Navigator.Any reason why this is not showed? /Karl

When a Calendar Generated PM Action generates a Work Order, how does IFS calculate the latest finish date?  What is the IFS logic?
