Best Practice for Measuring Equipment Downtime in IFS

Hi everyone,We’re relatively new to IFS at our company and are currently working on improving how we track and report equipment downtime.Recently, we’ve taken some objects out of operation and then brought them back online. However, we’re missing a clear report or overview that shows the actual downtime duration for each equipment. From what we’ve seen so far, there doesn’t appear to be a standard solution in IFS for this.Has anyone implemented a reliable method for tracking equipment downtime in IFS?Any advice, best practices, or pointers to existing functionality would be greatly appreciated!

Isolations/Permits in Cloud-Video or Work Instructions

Trying to convert an old APP9 work instruction to Cloud, and finding roadblocks along the way. This seems to be way more complicated than it should for such an important function. I’ve worked with other ERPs in the past which were way less complicated.Has anyone been able to get the end-to-end process working in cloud. Or does anyone have related documentation or video? I understand R&D is changing this functionality...any idea when?

"MWO Service App v10 not working on iPad 5th Gen (iOS 16.7.11) – Any upcoming compatibility update?"

We are running IFS10 with MWO Service app version 10. ✅ Login works fine on newer iPads (iOS 18.5). ❌ On iPad 5th Gen (stuck on iOS 16.7.11), login fails with “Service not reachable.” iOS cannot be updated further on these devices. Business Impact:Our field engineers widely use older iPad 5th Gen devices. Replacing them would mean significant hardware costs and logistics challenges. We need to know if there is a planned MWO v10 update to restore compatibility with iOS 16.7.11, or if an older working IPA build can be used temporarily.

Basic Asset/Maintenance Data Configuration

Hello, I hope you're all well!I'm just starting to learn about Enterprise Asset Management (EAM). I'd like to know if anyone has a guide for basic configurations like People, Tools, and Machines. This can be done with any version of the IFS app, or in the cloud. I took the IFS Academy course, but I still have some questions, especially about configuring basic data.Thank you in advance!

PM Action - Remaining to Due Automatic Calculation

Hi all,We have PM Actions scheduled for the entire year. The maintenance team is using the Maintenance Plan Analysis screen to find these actions by searching with Group ID and “Remaining to Due < 10.”In the attached screenshots, you’ll see that the Due Date is 5/27/2025, which is today’s date. So, the Remaining to Due should be 0. However, it's currently showing as 4.In our test environment, the Remaining to Due is showing correctly. I’ve already checked the scheduled database tasks and background jobs, and nothing appears to have failed.I was able to fix an individual record by going to the PM Action > right-click > Regenerate Plan (see screenshots below). My question is: where or how is this regeneration typically automated in the system? I haven’t found anything in IFS Help, and I can't identify any configuration differences that would explain why it's working correctly in the test environment but not in production.We’re currently running Apps 10, Update 20. Let me know if

PM Action General Due % maybe wrong calculation

Hi All.I have a pm action based on calender and with a due % of 93 in the next due date (maintenance plan), but in General tab, the due % is 1209.I think the system is considering the Maintenance plan line without criteria. The first line the workorder is cancelled.I understand that the system must not consider cancelled orders to calculate the due % in general tab. Does anyone know something about it? please see print bellow. Tks

Mark as Incorrect in the form Measurements

Hello,maybe someone can describe the situation when the function “Mark as Incorrect...” becomes active in the form “Measurements”? (IFS10). If I go to “Measurements for Object…”, then the function “Mark as Incorrect” for the same record is active:Why it is not active in the form “Measurements”?And if it is never active in the form “Measurements”, why it is left there?The same is in IFS Cloud too.

Issue saving Measurement for Object

I’m having issues saving Measurement for Object for some specific records. It doesn’t happen to all. I click save and it takes a long time and finally errors out.  Context:I am using a BPA Workflow triggered by a custom event when a measurement is entered The workflow event action is set to run asynchronously. I disabled this event action and I’m still seeing the same issue for specific records. The workflow makes multiple IFS API calls a IFS Rest Call includes JavaScript scripting includes looping through a collection of objects The mutating operations in the workflow include: Creating web app notifications Creating push notifications for MWO applications  Any insight on this would be useful. It could be a data issue, or it could be a side effect of the custom event action with the workflow.IFS Web Version: 24.2.5.20250402090305.0Date: 2025-08-18T18:08:11.775Z---------------------------------------------------------------------------MeasurementsForObject/Form (server error)Databa

Migrating Work Orders from APP9 to Cloud Work Orders and Work Tasks issue with sales and cost lines

We are migrating from APP9 to Cloud. In APP9 we use prepare work order quotation and create the work order. When these migrate to Cloud, a work order is created with an attached service quotation. Migration also creates 1 work task per tool line on tools and facilities tab and a final work task which has all planning, materials, time reports lines. When I add new planning, materials or time reports line, go to Conclude Work Order, and create invoice preview I do not see any of the new sales or cost lines in the preview. This is an issue because our process will be to transfer all cost and sales lines (they are invoiceable on work task sales tab) to the customer order eventually so they can be recognized in financials. Does anyone have suggestions? This problem doesn’t exist when I create a new work order and work task. Creation of a new work task to overcome the issue will come with a lot of additional work because those planning, time report and materials lines will be needed on the w

Work task time report increments

Hi Experts,In work task time reporting, is there a way we can round the Reproted time bases on some increment setup.Ex:Technician report 1hr and 7 Minutes but we need to charge the customer in 15Min interval. so the invoice hours should be 1hr 15 Min?If Time Increment is 30 Min then it should be rounded to the next 30 min! Ex: 2.25 hr reported then Invoice Hour should be 2.5 hr This setup is there in Customer old system but I could not find any similar function in IFS Cloud?Thank you,KM

Maintenance Plan Due Value

On a maintenance plan, once a Work Order is closed, the due reference is removed from that line. But if a Work Order is cancelled from Prepare Work Order screen, the due reference is still visible on the plan line and it keeps on increasing with each passing day for calendar and latest readings recorded for condition. Is it a defect cause once a WO is closed or cancelled, the due plays no role anymore for that particular line, still it reflects on the line level.
