Hello,

In the Prepare Work Order screen on the Journal tab, IFS automatically tracks status changes for various things like Work Task, Work Order, and Work Task Steps. 

We are wanting to also track status changes for the material orders associated with work order on the Materials tab. We noticed in the Source column on the Journal tab that Material Order is a pre-defined source value. However, our system isn’t recording any status changes in the journal tab for material orders. Is there something else we have to set up to have this status change start tracking? Or is the Material Order source something different? 

We’re running Apps 10 update 13.

Thanks,

Evan Edwards

Hi Evan,

 

Yes, the status change will be captured when a work order is created from a material order (but not for general material order changes).

I noticed that this happens when we use the repair work order flow for non serial parts where a work order is initiated from the material order line it self.

Please check below test flow.

 

Basic data setup:

1)    Non- serial inventory part must exist. 
2)    Auto-Repairable check box should be selected along with required information in Inventory Part/ Maint Info tab.

 

Test Flow:

1)    Create a work order in Prepare Work Order window.
2)    Add a Work Task.
3)    Create a Material Order in Materials tab, and add a material record for the non-serial part.
4)    All auto-repairable information will be fetched automatically to the material line.

5)    Set the Work Task status to Released.
6)    Using the Issue or Issue Manually option, issue the non-serial part.
7)    The non-serial part will be issued, and a new Work Order will be created with a work task to return the part to inventory after repair.

8)    Check the journal of the newly created repair work order.

 

Hope this clarifies the issue.

 

Best Regards,

Thilini
