Hello,

 

I want to set up some Serial Objects in our Equipment Hierarchy which may be operated, removed, repaired, and re-installed under different Functional Objects. A simple example is a Diesel Particulate filter, which we remove from the machine for cleaning every 1000 hours, place in the warehouse, then re-install on another machine at some later time. The DP filter is scrapped once it has reached 12,500 hours, so it is important we are able to track the operating hours no matter where the filter has been installed.

Is there a way that the Serial Object can accumulate the engine hours recorded on the parent Functional Object for the duration which it is installed on this Object? I have not been able to find a way to do this without a great amount of tedium.

 

Hopefully this makes sense, and any help is appreciated!

 

Thanks

We are sorry that, inheritance measurements (or measurements difference) from a parent object to a predefined child is still not available in the core functionality. It will be part of the core system with the next IFS Cloud release at the end of 2022.  

However, if we mange to handle the inheritance via a custom event or a BPA work flow, the rest of the movement and tracking capabilities are already there in the core now.
