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

Hi ,I have created a custom attribute on the Resource entity (e.g., a boolean flag to identify specific resources).Now, I need to filter the Resource ID LOV in the Service Object screen so that it only displays resources where this custom attribute is set to TRUE.This is the LOV where i need to filter based on my custom attribute  Is there any way to modify or extend the LOV to include this custom attribute in the filter?Has anyone implemented a similar requirement?Any guidance would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

I have created a scheduled job that is supposed to run every day to archive the ROAD_DISTANCES table. Earlier, the job was running automatically as expected and During testing, I was also able to manually run the job without any issues. However, after some time, the job still shows as running (both automatically and when clicking Run Now), but the archiving does not occur.   When I use the Archiving Engine, the ROAD_DISTANCES table is archived successfully.   it seems the scheduled job is behaving differently. Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening?

Hello Community,I am working with Work Order Requests in IFS Maintenance where a single Request contains multiple tasks.Currently, when the Request is released, all tasks under that Request are automatically released as well. However, from a business perspective, we would like to release the Request without releasing all associated tasks, so that tasks can be released individually at a later stage based on priority or readiness.I would like to understand:Is there any standard IFS functionality or configuration available that allows releasing individual tasks under a Request? Is this behavior by design due to the hierarchical status control between Requests and Tasks? If individual task release is not supported in standard IFS, are there any recommended functional workarounds or best‑practice approaches (for example, separating Requests, alternative object structures, or planning controls)?We are looking to stay within standard IFS functionality and avoid heavy customizations wherever p

Hi Community,How can i send from cloud news attributes values to PSO?Is it possible to set up new attributes values? Examples:1-From a Prepare work order => Send Object information to Activity details, Activity tooltip in PSO2-From a Task, send Long Description information to Activity details, Activity tooltip in PSO3-From Absence details, send Absence Type in description in Private activity to display it on the workbench PSOFrom menu Scheduling Dataset in cloud, it’s possible to set-up attributes values but it’s limited to a few values Thank you for your help 

 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.   

I have created an archived table named A_XXX. The archiving process is happening through an integration schedule. Now, the data in this archived table needs to be flushed after one week. How can this be implemented?

One of the integration we have with our FSM Mobile app require to send the email address as lower case string. Is there a way to do that using Client Scripting, Business Rules or Custom Metadata in FSM 6U4? Alternative, we are considering to do this via SQL scripting (a sql job that runs daily and convert the email addresses that has any Upper case character into full lower case email address. Thanks in advance. Daniel. 

It seems to me that this version of PSO (6.16.0.46) has serious issue when attempting to rebook an activity. Here is the description of the behaviour:When sending for the first time the request for an appointment for an particular activity, PSO is always responding correctly with the available slots.  If you save a specific slot, the activity is correctly showing on the Gantt chart.  If you try to rebook that activity (customer calls back to change the date of his/hers appointment) on the same day - the sytem always send back Error 500 - An internal error ocours. If you try to rebook the same activity the next day (of after you force the FSM-PSO initialization) you will have no problem to rebook that activity. I am able to demo this using Postman pointing to PSO 6.16.0.46 - IFSScheudlingRESTFull GatewaySame payload work perfectly on 6.5.0.29 (and you can rebook the same activity as many time as you want) - so the issue is not with the payload.  I will go ahead an open a Case, but I jus

Hi everyone,After upgrading from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud, we are facing an issue with Location Category on existing (migrated) locations.In Apps 10, there was no Location Category field. After the upgrade, all existing locations are now available in IFS Cloud, but this field is empty for those records.As shown in Figure 1, the Location Category is blank for existing locations, and we are unable to update it — not via the UI and also not through any backend method.Figure 1At the same time, when creating a new location (see Figure 2), the Location Category field is mandatory.Figure 2 Is there any supported way to update or populate the Location Category for existing/migrated locations?If this is not possible:We would need to create new location records Existing records cannot be easily cleaned up This could lead to duplicate data and unnecessary clutter in the systemThanks in advance for your help!

Hi,We have technicians that may assist in different locations and use stock from those locations.In FSM we have set up processes to use dates on the Person Place table to show when they are in a different location.The example below shows his standard place would be TN, but on the dates shown he is working from G and using their stock.FSM drives this, and we thought that FSM Mobile would then update if the technician was to perform an INIT on the morning they goes to a different place.What we have noticed is that on INIT, the Sync Rule obtains the correct data, but that’s pretty irrelevant as it appears the process for stock usage is taken from:var location = getUserInfo('StockFromLocation');var place = getUserInfo('StockFromPlace'); It appears this data is then held somewhere as the INIT file is pulling through the data we have captured below. If we check the database, the database shows Place for Stock being TN as per the sync rule. However it’s simply pulling through the first place

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationChoose ONE: keep the applicable option and delete the rest.Opportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionWhat happened, what is missing, or what could be better? Focus on the problem or opportunity (not the solution).Write here:The amount of information visible in the Dispatch Console is limited by the amount of rows each ticket can have (I think it is 2 or 3 at the moment).It would be good to have information such as Request /RWT number, Customer number, customer name, Location/Address, Country, Project number visible in the ticket without the need to click on the ticket or hover over it. Most of our Tickets span multiple days, so this would drastically increase the useability of the Dispatch Console for us.B.

Hi Team,Is there any out-of-the-box (OOTB) option in IFS Cloud to enable or display the Sign-Off Requirement tab in the Prepare Work Order screen?Our requirement is to have sign-off details available during the work order preparation stage, but currently, we are not able to find a standard option to achieve this.

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

I have created a request with status New after providing all required information. Under this request, I have created a connected task (Task ID: 351) with all mandatory details. Is there any standard functionality in IFS Service Management that allows me to release the task independently, while keeping the request in new status.In other words, can a task be released without releasing the parent request?

Hi,In the ESM solution, when setting up a PM Action, we can default a resource for the work list.  Is this possible in the Request based service management solution? As I can only find a field to add the Resource Group to the standard tasks. But would like to default the resource to the specified object ID as how it is for a PM action.  If not, is this part of the road map? Thanks! 

Hi All,Please let us know what the meaning of Invalid Task Group, we are getting this multiple services 

When using the 23R2 Dispatch Console for manual resource assignment for a customer who does not use PSO and has 4000 resources, is it advisable to use multiple datasets?  What advantage would the use of multiple datasets bring without PSO?  Is there is a concern that so many resources under one dataset would cause performance issues in the Dispatch Console even without using PSO?  Couldn’t filters on Resource Group and Region sufficiently limit the number or resources hitting the Dispatch Console even with all 4000 resources in one dataset?

Hi,I've created a new service contract.It seems that I cannot set Plan Start Date (Invoicing) later than Valid From on the Service Contract Header. Why is this.For example the Contract Valid From date is 2026-04-01, but we have agreed with the customer that we will start invoicing from 2026-05-01.IFS doesn´t allow us to use service contract this way, why is this? How is it suppose to work? Is this somthing we can change?  

When attempting to change the status of a work task from Work Started to Work Done, we receive the error message below - divisor is equal to zero.In reviewing the work task, the work order, the PM Action, the measurements for object, no issue can be found. Any insight/thoughts would be helpful!  

When creating a Customer Location I have the option to assign a Validity period against the location with a start date and end date:There doesn’t appear to be any enforcement of this parameter when I am creating a Service Request/Task at the customer location if the end date has been passed. Is this by design or is this possible a bug? The idea would be that the customer Location shouldn’t be shown on the LoV after the end date has passed.Thanks

Hi all,I’m working with a Work Order that includes two Work Tasks: one handled by an external resource and one by an internal technician. These tasks are linked by a dependency and must be executed together.The external Work Task is assigned via the B2B Portal by the subcontractor, and the internal dispatcher must validate/confirm the proposed date before planning the internal task.The issue is that, in the B2B Portal, the dependency is not shown—even though the dependency is correctly defined and visible in IFS Cloud. I can see the “Dependency” section in the B2B Work Task screen, but no data is displayed.Has anyone experienced this? Is there a configuration or limitation in the B2B Portal that prevents dependencies from being displayed?IFS Cloud Dependencies 

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,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
