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

Users are able to by-pass forms in a workflow if they make certain selections and end up having the ability to complete an order. Is there a particular field this selection is being identified with, in order to key off of this selection and build logic around for post-processing? Thank you. 

Hi Experts,My user is connected to PSO Workbench Administrator users but in PSO I cannot see some Admin functions. All Admin persmissions are granted from PSO end as well Some missing functions in PSO,I cannot see ADMIN Group under Parameter I cannot see “AdminApplicationsView” under persmisssion?    Any reason for these limitations? ThanksKM

 HelloI have the following question:We can assign a default time type to a resource group, and it's applied automatically.This works perfectly with MWO.I have a calendar option in Time Type, but I can't seem to configure it. My situation is as follows:1. A single resource group.2. A time type is automatically added based on the schedule.Is it possible to automatically register multiple time types with a single resource group?The time types would be:a) Regular Scheduleb) Weekendc) OvertimeCould the task costs be dynamic depending on the schedule? IFS 25R1Thanks.   

Is there a way in custom metadata to do calculations on 2 columns and spit out the results in a new column?In the PURCHASE_GNS Custom Metadata, is it possible to have PO_COST = PURCHASE_GNS.UNIT_COST * PURCHASE_GNS.QTY_ORDERED 

Hi,We have fixed Time, Fixed resource tasks and then its assigned to the engineer. Next after few second its noted the job is uncomitted.These engineers do not use Mobile and there is no Commit rule or any at the moment. Why PSO uncommit these manually allocated jobs?Is there a way atleast we ca get a reason for this behavior? First CommittedThen PSO uncommit it again.   ThanksKM

We go live in a week or so.  Is there a way in service to define the starting ID for Service Requests and Request Work Tasks.  Right now the sequencing starts at one.  With the way oracle sorts IDs, this will become a problem when there are million plus IDs… i.e. the sort sequence will look like this: 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 then 2, 20, 200, 2000 20000 etc.  If there were a way to define the start value, we would like to know about.  I suspect it is not possible.   

Hi there. How do I get charges connected to a sales part to appear on a Service quotation?  We have environmental fees connected to some sales parts (let’s say a lead battery) that we have to invoice our customers. When creating a Customer order, there are a tab with charges.I have connected a charge to sales part 10091. And when adding this sales part on the Customer order, a charge line is created in tab charges.All good there…   …But when making a Service quotation. I can not find any tab that show/connects charges associated with the sales part.  If we present a quote to a customer… We somehow need to communicate how much the environmental fee is that may be connected to material. Warm regards

Hi IFS,How we can add a new PSO theme and select it here.  ThanksKM

Enhancement DescriptionIn IFS PSO version 6.16.0.44, when a technician is manually allocated two long-duration activities in parallel at the same location, the visit-splitting behavior is inconsistent. Although both activities exceed the technician’s shift duration, only one activity is automatically divided into multiple visits aligned with the technician’s working shifts. The other activity remains as a single continuous visit and extends through non-working hours, including overnight periods.This behavior occurs specifically in scenarios involving manual parallel allocations. While the standard optimization engine correctly applies visit-splitting logic for long activities during automated scheduling, this logic is not consistently re-applied when activities are manually allocated in parallel. As a result, activities with identical characteristics—same duration, same location, and same assigned technician—can be treated differently from a visit segmentation perspective.Business Impa

Hi,I am trying to create an Object Connection Transformation(OCT) between Standard Task and Service Catalog. However, both objects do not seem to have any common key values, so I am unable to map them directly.Is there any way to create this Object Connection without customization or without adding new columns/extensions?If anyone has implemented a similar connection between these two objects, could you please suggest the recommended approach?Thanks in advance.

Hi Experts, In FSM6.30 → PSO 6.14 integration, I noticed the person skills are not sent when expiry date is updated.Ex: I update a person skill record’s expiry date in FSM side. But it was not update in PSO Resource planner. But when I update the same person skill record’s skill, the update is sent to PSO.Is it the intended baseline behavior? or could that be an issue in this solution/environment?Appreciate your help.Thanks,Sanjeewa 

Hi All,I am trying to implement the following requirement in FSM 6When a user clicks a custom button on the Quote screen: FSM should trigger an outbound HTTP call  The external service returns JSON. FSM should update two fields on the SAME Quote record (e.g., User_def5 and User_def6).

After upgrade some users cannot complete the steps for New Service Request and receive get an error message that they don't have sufficient privileges.The trace log indicates that the error is 403 and /main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/CreateServiceRequestHandling.svc/GetFirstTaskSeq(WoNoIn=36040)I haven't been able to find the projection that GetFirstTaskSeq actually requires to work.Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi all, As most know, Microsoft is retiring SMTP Legacy Auth on 5/1/2026.Is there a way to allow/configure Modern Authentication, OAuth if we are still using FSM 6? We are on .26 and using Basic Auth currently. Is there current support for Modern Authentication for SMTP in FSM6?  Thanks ahead for any information.

Hi,I am trying to add Slot Usage Rules at Different types of activities in IFS cloud, I have enabled the Filter by activity Type, but no such option to define the activity type.is there any technical document for slot Usage Rule?thanks!!

Hi all,Is there a way to change the name of an attachment? We are trying to use the cust_signature_id field as a signature field in the FSM mobile app. Also, the attachment isn't added to the task_attachment by default and the attachment name is always something like:task_username_6164_20260309172119.jpg.

Whenever we try to split a task using the ‘split task’ button (image: split_task_issue.png) to create child tasks there is always a pop up (image: split_task_popup.png) to save the new task. Is there any way to create the task without the pop-up by just clicking the 'Split Task' button? 

Hi All,I tried to set a sort order on the FSM Repair Centre Screen in the usual way in Primary Table Constraints Editor and noticed it did not work (screen shown below). On loading the baseline screen I then noticed none of the column sorts work when you click each of the column headers. This will likely be why my sort configured in Primary Table Constraints Editor did not work. Have any of you come accross this before and is there a fix? We are on U27. Thanks,Barry

​We have created thousands of request with given PlannedStart and PlannedFinish.Via API-Call we want to clear these both fields and set the other fieldsjson = $"{{\n";                                                                     json += $" \"PlannedStart\" : \"\" , ";json += $" \"PlannedFinish\" : \"\" , ";json += $" \"EarliestStart\" : \"{EarliestStart}\" , ";json += $" \"LatestStart\" : \"{LatestStart}\" , ";json += $" \"LatestFinish\" : \"{LatestFinish}\" , ";json += $" \"Duration\" : {Duration} , ";json += $" \"Objsite\" : \"{Objsite}\" ";json += $"\n}}";endpoint = $"main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/WorkTaskServiceHandling.svc/JtTaskSet(TaskSeq={TaskSeq})";response = await Rest.PATCH(endpoint!, json, "", eTagTask); The response throws an error, because PlannedStart and PlannedFinish are not set.Example:In the above example: Set earliestStart to 11:00, LatestStart to 15:00, LatestFinish to 17:00 on the same day. The goal behind is: make the requests (tasks) more flexible by

Dear all,What shall I do do get the resource names from IFS-Cloud visible in PSO? In some cases, the names appear, in other cases not. Which configuration is necessary in IFS? What do I have to configure? 

I am a beginner with PSO.I would like to implement data integration from FSM to PSO.Currently, we are able to generate requests from FSM and dispatch technicians (FSM resources) in PSO (the status becomes “Assigned”). However, resource information and various master data have not been integrated into PSO, which is causing issues.I assume that unless data integration from FSM to PSO is properly configured, master data will not be synchronized.I would like to ask for your advice on the following two points: If there are any concrete procedures or operation manuals on how to integrate the master data registered in FSM (such as resources, skills, SLA, etc.) into PSO, could you please share them? I would also appreciate it if you could explain how to transfer data from PSO to MWO. We are able to transfer data from FSM to Mobile, but we do not know how to transfer data from PSO to Mobile.Thank you very much for your support.

Is there any way in a config file to define the photo upload directory in Workbook?Product Version: MWM 7.2.2SP3_PR3

Hi ,Prevailing wage can be enabled for a work order through the job rate management tab in prepare work order window. However, this is not available in Request Detail page. Does anyone have an idea on how job rate management can be integrated with Request labor rates. Thanks,Nethmini

Is there a way to identify which Resource Group pool a specific Work Task is assigned to?We’re able to see which Work Tasks have been transferred to a pool via the Transferred Work Task/Assignments screen, but it doesn’t indicate which specific pool the Work Task was sent to. Since we have multiple pools set up based on Resource Groups for each site, this makes it difficult to determine where a task currently resides.We’ve reviewed several screens but haven’t been able to find this information. Is there a location in the system where this can be viewed?

I have a customer scenario involving PSO where they need to schedule jobs that run continuously for several days—some even lasting more than two months. Each job requires only one resource, but it must operate 24/7. Currently, they assign two resources per job: one works a 12‑hour day shift, and the other works a 12‑hour night shift.For the initial assignment, they want PSO to select the resource who is geographically closest to the activity. After being assigned, the resource will remain on the project site until the job is completed.Do you have any ideas on how we could configure this scenario within PSO? ​@Alexander Heinze ​@anmise ​@Paul Smith
