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

Hi, I am working in IFS Cloud 25R2. What I want to be able to do is set a resources start and end location for scheduling. I can create a visit address on a person record and it appears but only if the person is not protected.In previous versions of IFS it was possible to have the person as protected but only addresses flagged against the “Home” address type were protected. Is this no longer the case or is there a bug in the system?Has anybody been able to configure a visit address for scheduling whilst maintaining non visibility of a personal home address in the person record? Thanks 

Hi All,We are currently configuring a basic FSM Service Management setup in our 25.2.4 environment and have run into an issue during mobile initialization.Scenario:Service Request is created successfully Transfer a work task to mobile When logging into the mobile device/application, it does not get past the initialization phaseWe tested this using:Active Directory user Standard/non-AD userHas anyone experienced a similar issue in FSM mobile initialization? Any guidance or known fixes would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance 

Hi,Iam commiting activites manually in PSO , which is refered by PSO & when i try to commit its getting commited later on its reverting back to allocated state. PSO allocating the same resources but may i know the reason why its uncommiting. Its Connected with IFS Cloud. Regards, 

Hi Experts,When I try to launch IFS Cloud embeded PSO Workbench its not loaded but I can see the following error in PSO event log.where Do I setup this HostURL? in PSO or IFS? BtW I cannot see that as a parameter in PSO!Error:  Thanks,KM

24R2, In PSO/Audit/Load/Input Reference Appointment window Durations is showing as 54 Days. how is this calculating.In Scheduling Dataset, Scheduling working days is ‘4’ and Appointment Working Days is ‘38’

Hi,When IFS Cloud sends an outgoing message to a 3rd party system, an Application Message is generated which contains an External Message ID identifier. This is a GUID which we believe is generated by IFS:Can someone advise me when this is created? Is it when the application message is first created? If so, can it be added to the outgoing payload either as a parameter or a header on that message?We would like to catch this ID and store it somewhere so that, should the message need to be replayed (due to a failure for example), then we have a method of finding it easily and resending it via standard IFS Connect.Thanks

Would there ba any issue using a forwards in compny ID’s or customer ID’s this is to concatenate detail from an integrated system

Hi,Few weeks back I was able to insert the Dataset in the Delivery unit in Service Org screen but when I am trying to use the same job and same input file, the dataset are not importing.What I Investigated is, table Service_Organization is not storing the datasets field now, but earlier it was there.Not sure if IFS has made some changes, can anyone confirm what needs to be checked?thanks in advance.

In Wise, while trying to load the Resource Data. getting this below error, can anyone suggest on this ? 

 25R1 version!Issue Observed on work tasks:While assigning work, the Allocations / Direct Allocations section did not show the full list of resources. The “Apply Constraints” toggle was disabled to check if it affected visibility. Even after disabling it, resources from other resource groups were still not displayed.  Under Allocations Tab:In 24R1 Release: I was able to see all resources list under the allocations tab upon disabling the ‘Apply Constraints’ button. Whereas, in 25R1 version, even after disabling the toggle button, only the resources listed under the specific resource group/demand were displayed.Under the Direct Allocations tab:The resource list is empty. Not even a single resource id was displayed. So, currently, i cannot assign any specific resources to the work tasks and unable to transfer them to MWO.Has anyone else run into the same behavior or noticed similar missing resources?!--Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Experts,How can I add scheduling exception types in IFS cloud, I can see few also no new Icon or import options to get it from PSO?  ThanksKM

Hi,Can anyone tell me how IFS FSM6 utilizes file versioning? Are there any standard practices for purging old or dated versions? Are there any issues with purging these versions? Thanks for the support.

Hi All,I have been exploring the new Contractor Management solution in 25R1 for Request Tasks. I like the idea of creating the PO Lines based on actual reported items like time reported of the contractor. There are multiple customers who have modifications for that in the Work Order solution.But I am supprised to see that in the Release Notes there is a restriction. Which makes it not possible to send the Request Task to the mobile of the Subcontractor Resource...Mobile Work Order for Service Contractor Resources. It is not possible to utilize Mobile Work Order for Service Contractor Resources. Any Request Work Task that is assigned to a Service Contractor cannot be transferred to mobile. I am looking for the reason why this restriction is build in?I have customers who wants to have both their own employees and subcontractors to work with the same mobile Service MWO Solution. But that is not possible for subcontracted orders, as described in the Release Restrictions and by my own test

Where can I find the configuration information for setting up the mapping view on the ADDRESS screen in FSM 6u30 for web and smart client? Thanks,Richard

Is there a powerpoint detailing the changes made to IFS Cloud service management 26R1?

Hi All,Just wanted to know from the community your feedback on the new scheduling workbench experience in IFS Cloud from 25R2 onwards. Please feel free to share your concerns and suggestions as we’d love to get your feedback on this.  Thanks,Minindu

Obtain detailed information from the Cloud regarding the version of the MWO App that a user is utilizing.Currently the information is about the version from which app was initialized and that differs from the version user is currently on.

Add as many details as possible, by providing details you’ll make it easier for others to reply

We defined a Calendar for Service techs based on Work Day Type from 8 to 12 and from 13 to 17. In case a service technician on an Assignment “Start Work” out of those period of time is there a constraint or not? I ask the question because back in time I experienced a constraint not to be able to “Start Work”

Our Client has a requirement that they would like the orders to be allocated by PSO before the shift start and afterwards PSO should not allocate any other order for the current Day. They have a process for handling emergency orders manually during the Day. We have used Time Before Shift Start to 2 hours so that the orders start getting committed 2 hours before shift start and Max commited activities to 50(Due to activity durations this is the max possible orders that the tech can work on)However in scenarios where there is not enough work at the start of the shift,PSO ends up committing new orders to tech when any new orders come to the system.Do we have any way to stop this so that no new order are commited. Any help would be highly appreciated    

Hi, How can i remove the scheduling exception showing below.. May i know the settings.  Regards,Shiyaz

Hello everyone,I would like to better understand how Read Type and Read Type Validation work in IFS FSM, specifically in the context of the Meter Readings table.However, I still have some questions:What is the exact role of Read Type within the Meter Readings table? How does Read Type Validation work when validating these readings? What kind of rules are typically applied? Are these validations configurable? If so, where are they defined? Are there any best practices for using these concepts in meter reading scenarios?If anyone can share practical examples or official documentation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Are skill unavailabiltiies an option? Either now or in the future. Currently we only have the option for skill availabilities (inclusive range) We would like to have the option exclude a period of time from a skill (unavailability)Also, can the maximum duration of a skill availability be increased further than 99 days? I would need to utilize a skill availability to 6 months or more (seasonal demand etc) 

Request Bundle tasks not posible to set *Multiple Visit Allow* Is this functionality not supported for bundle task. Customer has problem with planning these task using PSO. ​@Björn Kleist ​@André 

Hello everyone, I've been facing a big problem for some time and I would like your help, maybe we can find a solution.I have made some changes in IFS Cloud (24 R1) such as: creating custom fields, changing some field names according to customer requirements, hiding/deleting some fields etc. Each time a release/service update takes place, these changes are lost and the system reverts to the standard version.Also, if in a new release, the interface of an IFS Cloud page changes its appearance by rearranging fields/windows, introducing a new design, all changes made on that page are lost.So far, every time this happens, I have to make all the necessary changes manually over and over again.I need to find a solution so that all existing changes are not lost in the future.Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know how I could solve this problem? Thank you in advance for your help!Kind Regards,Miruna
