Hi!

I would like to know if there is a specific path or flow where we can connect 2 Functional objects of the same level.
One is a major equipment/asset and the other one is also the same but can be installed on the first equipment and be transferred between different objects of same asset class.

Is there a way we can follow e.g.

Asset B breaks down under asset A, and we replace it with another asset like asset B again under asset A.

Brekadown is on asset A, but following CM is on asset B. Because once we replace the asset B asset A is operational again.

While asset B is on asset A cost goes on asset A but it needs to have history recorded on asset B as well.

It may be complicated to explain but hopefully we can make this clear together.

Thank you!

Hi Robert,
If your question is for the Alliance application you can do this through the Components tab in the Installed Item module (this allows you to define an asset as being composed of any number of smaller individual components that are each being tracked individually...and those components can be transferred across installed items).  If you’re asking about a different IFS application then you can try posting the same request in the following group:

Thanks,
