We attempted to move a functional object from Site 1 to Site 2.

However, after completing, it shows that the Object Site is still Site 1, but the Belongs To Site is Site 2.

The PM’s stayed in Site 1.

How do you move a piece of equipment so it also moves the Object Site?

Hi @TTRACY ,
Move Functional Object does not change the object site and it is the functionality we had in APP10 as well. That is used to change the parent object of the functional object.
If you want to change the object site you can use the ‘Copy Functional Object’ and create a functional object in a different site using the same object ID.

Thanks & best Regards,

Hi,

Move Serial objects with better visibility of current site and company while keeping track of the movement and maintenance history was implemented in 22R1.

Yet, a similar functionality is not implemented for Functional objects. This is considered in the Road Map of Cloud Product Development.

Hi @TTRACY 
in essence, A function object is a non movable object, and only serial objects are movable objects (also known as rotables equipment). 
That is the reason why you can clearly find all the functionalities and movement tracking at the level of serial objects and nothing at the level of functional. 
Hope this will be helpful to you.

This is the existing behavior for Functional Objects in IFS Cloud. Since ‘Site’ has been  logical key of Equipment LU, it is not technically possible to change it even after moving it into a different site.  However, in 22R1 we made a backend refactoring of equipment entity, introducing a ‘new Object Sequence’ as the logical key instead of Object ID & Site. This made it possible to get rid of the barrier of not being change the site value. So far , this change has been only applied to Serial Objects. If you move a serial object from 22R1 onwards, it reflect the actual site and belongs to site,  We have plans to do the same for Functional Objects in future.

In the meantime, someone interested would be able to achieve it with a modification given that above said refactoring is common for both Functional & Serial Objects.
