Retrospective Work Reporting - Material Issued and Returned

Hi @Nethmini Kosvinna , in that scenario, where will the cost of the actual part issuance be posted?Example:I do some work without having the work order planned. During this, I get a part from inventory to complete the work. This issuance must somehow be reported against inventory to ensure that quantity onhand is correct.When I then later do the retrospective reporting, the cost, as you explain, will be posted against the work order. Will not this create a double cost transaction?Thxs, Geir Sigve

A bug? Create Work, Dispatch and Receive Order

Hi.this happens because the logical unit Vim Serial is not available. The wizard you are using will create a CAMRO workscope, which requires the component VIM to be installed.Do you have that component in your environment? Regards, Geir Sigve

Hold codes on a maintenance order.

Hi Karthik.There is no specific status or other mechanism for this on the MO itself. You could utilize the On Hold on the work tasks, possibly create e.g. a custom menu on the MO to set this on all work tasks related to the MO.Geir Sigve

Unable to update serial structure

@mmoss This error comes because you are setting Ownership = Customer Owned and then applying an owner ID that does not exist.I assume your vehicle structure is still Planned for Operation, and that you are inserting the individual serials as new records? Geir Sigve

MRO / Fleet - Serial Part - trick to getting serials in this screen

Hi Thomas,it seems from your second screenshot that you have created these serials as equipment objects. Serials can either exist as a serial in FAM or in equipment, not both.To manage serials in FAM, there are a few things that are required: In Part Catalog, the part number must be at least After Delivery Serial Tracking You must have defined the part number also as an engineering part You must define a manufacturer and a manufacturer part number for the part An active template structure in FAM must exist either for the part number, or which the part number is a part of You can now create the serials and manage them in FAM: Either by creating it in Serial Structure Information, or By either receiving or counting the serial into inventory, and then pick it up in Serials from Inventory screen, and process it from thereI hope this helps. Feel free to buzz me if you have more specific questions.Geir Sigve

Suggestions - Client wants visibility to assets that are in service - globally

Hi Thomas,It is a bit difficult to respond based on the information given, but one follow up question would be if the client also would require the ability to control the configuration of the assets, i.e. make sure that they are correct.If so, the Fleet and Asset Mgmt solution could be an option, It might however be easier to discuss this on a call. Feel free to ping me on Teams if you would like to discuss.Geir Sigve

What is the source for the Serials (VIM Serial) table?

Hi Rukshan.If this is for IFS Cloud, new serials are created in a number of ways, depending on your scenario. If you are going to create a serial structure for testing purposes, you can use the assistant New Serial. Fill in required information on page one, on page two select required sliders for importing the template structure and generate serial numbers, and then finish. This will create serials for the entire structure.You can also just create the top serial using the same assistant, navigate to Manage Serial Structure and then level by level add required information on the Consist Of tab.Finally, if serials are received into inventory, you can pick them up in Serials from Inventory page, and process them there.Hope this helps.Geir Sigve

Renaming Part Number on Part Serial Record

Hi.The most common scenario where renaming a part would be due to a rebuild/modification. This is quite common in certain industries such as aviation and defense.If you e.g. consider a certain assembly that, let’s say a pump, that was originally designed to give a certain pressure. The manufacturer then redesigns the impeller, and the pump increases. To distinguish the pumps with the higher pressure, it is given a new part number. But, the manufacturer also decideds to offer the new impeller as an upgrade. So, when you have replaced the impeller, the old serial should now have the new part number. The rename capability allows you to do this, while keeping history with the same object.If you are using the Fleet and Asset Management solution, you can define Modifications to control this process, which also means that you can do the rename as an integral part of the work order process.

New tab/section on Maintenance Order for document reference information

Thank you for the reply, Liam.In my experience, having this information on the task card and copying it to the work task (I assume you are already using the Reference field on the task card for parts of this information) would be the correct solution. I have already implemented the same requirement for another aviation customer (adding Rev No to the task card). So I agree, this should be on the product plan.

New tab/section on Maintenance Order for document reference information

Hi Liam,just out of curiosity, why would you like the same document attached to all work tasks? Wouldn’t it suffice to attach it to the maintenance event/work order?Also, if you have multiple maintenance events assigned to the same MO, would this still be applicable? E.g. with an on-wing inspection of an engine and an SB-embodiement on the AC? To Mathias, since work tasks are not directly connected to the MO, but rather thru the maintenance event, would this require a two step transformation? I looked at the documentation that you provided on a different topic, but have to admit that I did not see a direct match to this requirement. Thanks, Geir Sigve

Anyone using calculation rule Overhaul with the Cycle flag set to No Cycle

Thanks Bimsara for your reply. However, I am aware of how the application works. This was a question to the community to find out if anyone is in fact using that specific capability. This because we have a discussion on whether it should be removed from the application.

Does anyone use IFS for managing a fleet of vehicles??

Hi Bruce.Yes, our customers are using the Fleet and Asset Mgmt solution for managing their fleets.

In short, the solution provides the following capabilities:- Managing configuration rules- Managing serialized configuration- Defining maintenance requirements- Logging usage- Reporting issues with the equipment- Planning and executing maintenance- Tracking operations including type of operation, personnel involvedThere are obviously a lot more details, which are better described in a short meeting

Does anyone use IFS for managing a fleet of vehicles??

Hi Bruce,We have a number of customers using IFS Applications and IFS Cloud for managing fleets. One immediate question is what type of equipment and what requirements you have with regards to managing these.Our Fleet and Asset Mgmt customers include companies in the aviation, rail, shipping and oil industries, where they use the solution for managing equipment that has strict configuration rules, follow up of serialized items, specific maintenance requirements for these, fault reporting and repair etc.If you can provide more details with regards to your specific requirements, I can provide more information on how to best support those.Regards, Geir Sigve

Fleet data maintenance

Hi Lily,Are you entering the mentioned information against operations, i.e. Vehicle A was used on route 1 on Jan 10 with driver X etc, or are the data more separated, i.e. you define your objects, and in addition to that, you define your drivers with information, but not connected to the objects.There are different options in the application based on exactly what you need.Regards, Geir Sigve
