Field Service Management (FSM) & Planning and Scheduling Optimization (PSO)

Is there any documentation on the Place Merge functionality for FSM 6 that details the scope of the data that it touches?  We need to better understand all of the data that is impacted if we were to merge Place records via Place Merge or determine if we need to take a custom/hybrid approach.Our company is currently going through a major ERP consolidation/modernization project.  All existing customer #s sourced from the old ERP system will be converted into the new ERP system which will result in brand new customer #s (there will be a reference to the old customer#) which will be integrated back down to our FSM 6 (update 25) platform.  Because of this, we will need to update all of our existing data (open Requests, some historical Request data, Contracts, Product records, customer pricing data, etc) so that they are using the new customer #s sourced by our new ERP system. Is the Place Merge an appropriate process to perform this mass conversion of 130k+ PLACE records? Any other suggesti

 We have configured ADHOC Reports and change the App Parameter ADHOC_ROW_LIMIT to 20000, when we extract one report (AUDIT_REPORT), the number of rows is limited to 10K.Even we tried to set the App Parameter MAX_ROWS to 20 but no error, nothing changes in the report. Is it possible to extract more than 10K of rows at ADHOC Reports?If yes, then how to set the limit please suggestThanks In Advance

 Hi,I am setting all the parameters for the isochrones, but when I try to use the functionality, I always get the circle in this image. Pending isochrones 0/1 changes to 1/1 for a few seconds, but does not change the circle.The travel calculation method is ‘HTM’, but in Event I see this message:  What can I do to get the expected result?

Hi Team,  We have one Workorder and under that Workorder we have 3 different tasks and the Workorder status is waiting Internal and status change reason is ‘Dispatcher Action Required’ .So, in this condition associated tasks(Linked tasks) will be visible in PSO or not ? 

I need to see the capacity for all the engineers in the system. I explored the resource availability page and I can see that I can get the capacity for individual engineers. Is there a page from where I can get the capacity/ availability for all the engineers in one go in IFS cloud?

In the previous version of IFS cloud (23R1 for sure), there was the possibility to add a picture to resource icon on dispatch console, under the person page. I can see only the fist letter of name and surname. (T0)Do you have any suggestions?  

Hi, For some resources I have a shift build up like this: (es: 27 in pic)1. 00:00 - 07:00    Manual only2. 07:00 - 15:30    3. 15:30 - 00:00    Manual onlyI have a situation like this.1 task: 3 demand linesWhen I click on Assign from IFS Cloud or Commit from PSO: As you can see: the link is broken, but also it doesn’t respect the allocation start came from IFS CLOUD.After a while, also the Ass n=3 in Cloud will be update with the allocation start came from PSO: 00:17 How can the commit be done properly? (All tasks are committed at the same time, according to the PSO suggestion). Thanks!

Hi Team,I’m using the Attachment functionality in mobile to capture attachments for ESCALATION table. From the IN_CORRECTIVE _MAINT designer screen by using the Attachment icon of damage photograph field(user_def13), i am saving the data.After choosing an attachment and while the record is saved, the damage photo.user_def13 field stores a negative integer value such as -1, -2, etc., in the DB instead of the Attachment ID. Is there any step to be configured to capture the Attachment ID apart from the above? Kindly advice. please find the reference below Thank you in advance

Dear FSM experts, One of our customers is currently experiencing the following issue, and I would appreciate your assistance.We created a custom screen for the web client and tested it with version 6u7 before updating it to version 6u25. It worked correctly as expected. Recently, they updated the FSM environment from version 6u7 to 6u25. Since the update, they have identified that the custom screen is not functioning properly.  Custom Screen  Error   Client Script for Web Client var sellerPlaceID = getControlValue('sp_coo_data','seller_place_id');var purchaserPlaceID = getControlValue('sp_coo_data','purchaser_place_id');var sellerPlaceIDFromDB = getDBValue('C_GET_PLACE_ID',sellerPlaceID);var purchaserPlaceIDFromDB = getDBValue('C_GET_PLACE_ID',purchaserPlaceID);var whos_place;var status;if(isNullOrEmptyString(sellerPlaceIDFromDB) && whos_place != "CUST" && status != "A"){ alert("Please enter valid Seller Place ID"); return false;}if(isNullOrEmptyString(purchaserPl

HI, I have created some shifts in the following way:Each Shift is divided into 3 parts:1. 00:00 - 07:00    Manual only2. 07:00 - 15:30    Overtime (0.5)3. 15:30 - 00:00    Manual onlyHowever, what I see in the Dispatch Console is not consistent with what I created in Ifs Cloud. There is an overtime in DC even when not required.In addition there is a difference between PSO and Dispatch Console. In PSO overtime is entered correctly, however I can't see a shift (15:30-00:00), even though this information is received correctly by PSO. Any idea why and how I can fix this? IFS Cloud VS PSOShift of 1st row in PSODetail of Shift in IFS Cloud 

We are encountering an issue with the launchEmailApp() function in our mobile client script. On MDM-managed devices, the function displays an error message: “No email client installed.” However, it works correctly on unmanaged devices. Current Behavior:The function works on unmanaged devices but fails on MDM-managed devices, displaying the error message.Additional Information:We are using Intune MDM. The native Apple Mail app is not managed by our company portal. The restriction “Block viewing corporate documents in unmanaged apps: Yes” causes the error. The IFS App currently only tries to use the Apple Mail app, which is not managed.Summary:Mail app launches on unmanaged iOS devices. Mail app doesn’t launch on managed iOS devices.Analysis by MDM Team:The native Apple Mail app is not managed by the company portal. The restriction “Block viewing corporate documents in unmanaged apps: Yes” causes the error. We request a change in the IFS App to use the default email app specified in iOS

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I am trying to better understand the ‘Share with Corequisite’ functionality when I have more than one planned quantity in the work activity requests tab. At the moment in the requisitions I am only using skills, no certificates, no competencies. I am analysing two activities:112: request for 2 resources - allocated 113: request for 3 resources -unallocatedThe competences match correctly, in my opinion. The following pictures show how the task is structured and how the PSO analyses it.For task 113, the explanation is ‘Missing conditional competences’.Message: Task 301 required shared competences with co-requisites that cannot be found: SKL-‘skills name changed by attempt’.Can anyone help me? I have 3 resources with the following competences:  Res Skills Dispatch Console Task 112 - demands tabtask 112 compare Task 113 - demands tabtask 113 - compare  

We user Repair Centre in FSM U27 and I have had a look at the Repair Board screen to establish if it is of interest to us. At first glance, functionality looks quite basic so I just want to confirm I have not missed anything. My observations are that;Tasks are static on the Repair Board. They do not lengthen in time if a repair tech is delayed on a particular tasks. Nor do subsequent, yet to be started tasks move with the timeline if the current, in progress task is delayed. The Repair Board cannot handle tasks straddling two days. In our example we work a 09:00 to 17:00 shift only. If a two hour task starts at 16:00, the Repair Board will expect its completion at 18:00 when it should in fact be 10:00 the following day. Completed tasks disappear from the Repair Board meaning supervisors lose the visual display of all tasks completed during the shift. It is not possible to scroll to the previous days Repair Board date to drag and drop any yet to be started tasks to current day. The only

Hello,We have an issue where some line codes are getting re-priced to $0 when a contract is selected on a request.  Is there a way to prevent this?For example, we have a freight line code that is added to the request via an integration when parts ship.  If someone later selects a contract to use on the request the freight line will be set to $0.  This creates a big inconvenience. If we even catch this, we will have to go lookup the shipping cost in another system.We are using FSM 6.5 (Smart Client)Thanks,
