PSO v6.11 / IFS Apps 10 Upd 18
 

We are working to make more work get scheduled together properly and on the same resource.  Frequently, even when work tasks are on the same work order, the different work tasks get scheduled separately and on different resources.  

For example, we have a single work order, with 3 work tasks.  One being the PM inspection itself, then two more work tasks that are merely fluid samples that get taken at the time of the PM.  Frequently right now, we have the fluid samples getting allocated, on different days, and the PM goes unallocated. 

I have already started the process of working to make the fluid sample tasks dependent on the PM task.  This at the very least assures that the PM task gets scheduled first but does not assure that the sample tasks are scheduled at the same time or for the same resource.

After researching through PSO documentation and have found the "Activity Group" section of the Scheduling Schema.  This discusses the use of "same_resource" and "all_or_nothing".  These two attributes appear to be the key to achieving what we are looking for, however I cannot seem to figure out how we properly pass these attributes from IFS to PSO.  The XML load file does have the "Activity_Group" section, but only appears to be passing the "pre_co_req" attritbute and nothing else.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
