Service (Touch Apps, MWO, MRO)

We are utilizing IFS 10 and moving into Aurena. I am looking for the documentation about Maintenance Surveys to document how to set them up and their capabilities. I am also wondering if a survey can be attached to work task steps or task templates I did not see that as part of the workflow configuration yet. How do you allow a tech to save where they are if you are not utilizing MWO? Finally, can surveys be linked or utilize the measurements in IFS?

I have an example where I have a service contract with two service lines of type invoice plan.  My Periodic invoicing is prior invoicing for the year.  I.E. 7/1/2022 - 6/30/2023.  My service line 1 has a valid from date from of 7/8/2022My Service Line 2 has a valid date from date of 7/15/2022 When I invoice these 2 lines for the first year IFS will prorate the invoice lines because they were not valid for the entire invoicing period.  The IFS customer does not want these prorated and billed at full amount and the end date to be adjusted for a 1 year term based on the valid from date.  So line 1 should generate for 7/8/2022 - 7/7/2023 and line 2 should generate for 7/15/2022 - 7/14/2023. Any ideas?  I don’t think IFS will do this natively, wondering if anyone has some ideas?

Where is it possible to answer the eform? Would the output be in Survey Answers? 

How do you set up the maintenance survey answer output to construct a certificate?And how do you print this certificate?

In Apps 10, we are able to create new Service Requests from a Template. Cloud 23R2 doesn’t have this functionality. Is it in the pipeline for a future release or is there another way to achieve the same, thanks

Hi, Can anyone help with below queries ? User is trying  to connect an equipment object to a document revision, whether object ID has period sign.Error raised and cannot connect the object.“Invalid use of data delimiter in object type EquipmentObject.If one of the values contains a period, you can use a comma, semicolon, or colon as a delimiter instead.” Question 1: Is there any specific reason as to why period sign needs to be avoided ? Question 2: Then as a workaround, if you connect the object using objects tab in the document revision form, object description is not displayed until you save the record. (However the object can be connected without getting the delimiter error).Is this something that should be corrected, so that user can see the description, before saving the record ?

The current process to update an approved Miscellaneous allocation for a technician solely using MWO seems to be not available with the existing functionality. Manual interaction with Backoffice personnel is required to do any changes for the approved miscellaneous allocations in MWO. There are some customer requirements where they need MWO users to have the facility to do some alterations for the approved miscellaneous allocations from MWO application itself rather than going for the IFS Cloud platform. The current design where allocations are effectively “locked” down with approval functionality, could be enhanced to a more flexible and useful solution. Given below with some suggestions for the improvement of the functionality as per some opinions of the users.1. Approval demand configurable: Whether approval is required could be introduced as a controlling parameter on the Category and be viewed in conjunction with Absence/No Absence.2. If approval is not requir

Is it possible to connect a survey to either a serial object or a service object? If so, could someone show how?

​ We’re trying to configure TAS server for Apps 10 using IFS Technical Documentation and stuck on this step:We started going through the prerequisites and got to this step to load the software. It shows there is nothing to install.  According to Microsoft, they’ve made this software end of life and there was an online “feed” of products the software would pull from Microsoft but that service has been shutdown.How can we get access to the prerequisite Web Deploy software now?  

In MWO, there is no equipment object basic datathere are relevant configuration page in ifs10, which page corresponds to ifs cloud？I set a filter, but it didn't workIn other words, what are the correct configuration stepsthanks！ 

Today, almost all of the Page Configurations for the ServiceEngAPP and MaintEngAPP are handled in one page/Client Model and needs to be redone after each Service Update (and Release). To make it more manageable and to simplify the rebase and installation of configurations, each page in the APP should be handled as a separate page/client model in Page Configurations. I.e. the just as the Cloud-pages are handled today. Applies to release up to and including 23R2.

Hi,My customer is using IFS Cloud and has a scenario where engineer will be raising WOs via technician portal or MWO for the specific project activity. As standard, I can’t see a way to connect newly raised job to the project using portal/MWO, only directly on the Prepare Work Order screen. On another topic there was mentioning of possible configurations can be done, but no details have been provided. Can anyone assist? In addition, there will be a lot of PMs used on the project, however as standard functionality PM Actions cannot be attached to the project activity at the generation point. Is there a way to connect PMs to Project using Technician Portal or MWO?Thank you

Hi All,Any great ideas how to print all or selected data from a service contract, used to inform the customer about scope, terms and conditions, SLA etc, and get signed?//A

A user has asked if there is a way to connect a new work order (raised through the MWO app) to an Project Activity via the MWO app. We occasionally have out of hours call outs to a site where we have an Project. The engineer will raise a work order on his device and the time will get booked to the work order accordingly. However, this office staff are unable to connect this work order to the relevant Project Activity the next morning (error message received). Our only solution is to create a new work order from the office, connect it to the Project Activity and then transfer the time over. We would like to avoid this extra work if possible.

Hi All, The scenario is like thisMultiple remote warehouse (Service Busses) with specified assortment.A pool of users that can use any of the service busses. When you create and prepare work order, how can you define service buss to issue from when you havn’t a specific user per service buss.The material required in the workorder, and the transport task created is to service buss 1 in all cases as I as a user is atached to all busses, this even I will use meterail from Service Buss 2 or get material transported to service buss 2. What setting is missing or wrong to ensure material flow to specific buss when prepare WO?

Hello,in IFS Cloud 22R2, we have a property called ‘Editable Function’ in the Page Designer. I believe using this property, we can include conditions/parameters based on which the field will be marked either as Editable or Read-Only. But currently, it doesn’t allow us to add any conditions. Is there a specific scenario when we can use this property? Also, do we have any supporting documents or reference fields with this property enabled? Please let me know. Kind RegardsPriyanka Cecilia

Hi all, Just wondering if there is a way that we can make it mandatory to report the task steps in the mWO (Service Enginerr) app in Cloud? Currently if there are task steps in the task, the mWO users can optionally mark as done or not done, but they can simply ignore and move on. Is there a way that we can make it mandatory to visit and update the details? TIA

Hi, I have created a refill putaway zone remote warehouse which I have attached to my user. I have then created my remote warehouse assortment which creates my Purchase Req. When I convert this to a PO I see that it has a destination warehouse which matches my users remote warehouse. Why do I then have the following problems:I see all PO’s in that site, it is not specific to my users remote warehouse Only certain parts appear in my stock when receiving it in. I can see I have multiple parts in stock in IFS but not in MWO.Thanks,George.

The quote was rejected in the system by the administrator by accident. When I try to recreate the quote from the work order, none of the lines are appearing on the quote. This leads to my question; can you create a new quotation from a previously rejected quote?
