Scheduling Maintenance Plan Lines through the MPB

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.

Equipment Structure - Category object

I am trying to fetch information for Category Objects.   We can see a great usage of having Category Objects in the Equipment structure, The Category would match very fine to represent the customer location and having functional and / or serial objects for the category.    The Current logic of the category is:One may NOT have any Functional object as a child to the category object The category can ONLY have one parent Can someone explain how the category of funcitonal objects are mentioned to be performed by the Category object?

Unable to place serial object to equipment structure

Hi,We are on Update 12. I created and progressed the Repair Work Order and stuck at the stage where I need to place Serial Object to structure to change position from Issued to InFacility.When I use RMB on Report In Work Order → Place Serial in Equipment Structure and pick Functional Object against which I want to place it I get the error message “Object is already used in a PM Action or Work Order”. I have Work Orders against this Serial but they all either Finished or Cancelled. Surely it cant stop me to send equipment back to customer if I was fixing this part before?

Status change of a Work Assignments in IEE

Earliest Start hour not changing calendar id pm action

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

Is it possible to assign resources (tools/equipment) per number of task at once?

Hi, All!Customer has the situation, when the route is generated through the several PM Actions.This is possible using the merge functionality.So, user has one work order containing many work tasks from different Pm Actions.For this route maintenance team has to ask for some vehicle to arrive all the equipment objects on the route.Assigning the vehicle to each task separately not looks like the good idea.Is there any approach to do such resource assignment for whole work order or for number of tasks not making a lot of clicks?May be there is another functionality to register vehicle (or any tools) usage in maintenance process for such routes?Or user can register the trip for the route and somehow assign the usage of company's or his own car?The main point here is to map the route with vehicle/tools usage.And, the usability of process also does matter.Thanks in advance!

Lobby issue - Traversing the object structure and using URL's

Version = APPS10 UPD9Hi All, Trying to resolve a query and subsequent navigation issue within the lobby data source & element.We currently have a query that gets the object structure in a tree format based on the combination of Belongs to Site and Belongs to object ID (Both Variables). We then use the navigation section of the element to basically redirect the page back to itself appending the page variables to the URL which applies the filters and allows the users to step down in the structure. When this is the head site and object ID’s i have no issue but as we move down the object tree the site changes as we need the controls in the data scheme and the issue appears as the Belongs to Site does not correspond with the belong to Object ID and we cannot view any data, as a note buy manually updating the page filter to the new site it works fine but i would prefer that the user does not have to do this. As we click the element to move to the next level this should follow.As a note,

Work Order returns

HiDoes anyone know why Work Order Returns does not appear in Inventory Part Availability Planning in APPS10? For large planned repairs you cannot necessarily say that this is unplanned supply. Such returns can possibly be very expensive reusable parts that could/should be considered as a supply for other repairs.Is it possible to have these shown (e.g. based on work task dates) in Inventory Part Availability Planning and is it possible to include these planned part returns as supplies in the MRP calculation?BR Kristian

Cannot delete PM Actions with Pm Action Calendar Plan

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?

Preventive maintenance scheduled outside of working hours

Hi all !My customer (in IFS Cloud) has some preventive maintenance activities that need to be scheduled and executed outside of working hours, ie during night time or during week-ends.I thought I could use the calendar that can be linked to a PM Action.But I saw in another post on this Community that this calendar is designed to add exceptions to the main calendar, which is used to define planned date and time in the maintenance plan.The main calendar being the one linked to the maintenance organization associated with the PM Action.Is there a way to set up the system so that, for some PM Actions, the maintenance plan occurrences are scheduled outside of working hours (or according a different calendar than the one linked to the maintenance organization) ?NB : it is not possible to create a different maintenance organization for “work outside working hours” because the employees would be the same in both organization.Have you already encountered this type of requirement ?Any idea on ho

Creating GL transactions for Cost Type 'external' on Work Orders

I am trying to add actual costs (cost type ‘external’) into a work order (to pull through to the GL).  It is allowing me to add external costs and authorize/finish the work order but no GL posting is created - the transaction is set as CSS (Cost of Sold Services), type ‘EAM’. Is there any way to get around this? Apps 9.

He has asked to implement 2 features:Add the Serial Objects as a Fixed Asset so it can be connected to the correct Acquisition account and they can use Depreciation Methods. What is the easiest way to achieve this? The Serials Objects require Preventive Maintenance (both internal and external).

Portfolio management

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

Allow external services for the same. Create an object and connect to an inventory part.Test PlanCreate a WO and enter above created object id. Create a task and add a return line for the part connected to the object. Receive the serial to the inventory. Create a requisition with order code 6 from the WO and create the PO.
