Question

MRO - Customer Owned Material on Task Card

There seems to be some functionality missing from Task Cards around the ownership of material used in maintaining, repairing and overhauling (MRO) processes. 

 

In preventative maintenance, we can plan the ownership of materials on PM Actions which get transferred into the maintenance material requisition lines upon the PM Action generating a work order.  We have the same requirement to do this but from the Maintenance Order. 

 

The maintenance order is constructed of several maintenance events for a serial repair, or manual maintenance event. Each of these events will have one or more task cards, each of which can have an independent list of materials.  

 

These materials will be transferred to a work order once released, however it only considers company owned material.

Hello @Chriswharton22 , In a MRO context, things work differently than for an EAM scenario. Because taskcards are supposed to be generic while the sourcing of the part generally comes from agreed contract with the customer. When generating the maintenance order, you can use the part provisioning rules on the service contract pegged to the MO to turn material demands to the right ownership. But it is something  only available on IFS Cloud. Which version do you work on ?

Hi @Bertrand Dousset,

 

Thank you for the reply. We use Apps 10 UPD 10 and are upgrading to UPD14.

It appears that the functionality gap has been resolved in IFS Cloud, we have a heavy customisation to resolve the issue at the moment but it needs some more thinking through.

 

As you say, the task cards are designed to be generic, however the same could be said for Work Task Templates where the functionality for customer owned materials exists already.

 

I will have to look at some alternative customisations to make this functionality work better than it currently does.

 

many thanks

Chris

@Chriswharton22 May I ask you for which customer you work for just to understand the background of the demand ?

Hi Bertrand, 

 

this is for an aerospace customer where the task cards need to be unique across customers due to differences in maintenance manuals.    We will need to order various parts from each customer depending on the MX and make sure that the ownership is set when any requisitions are created on the release of the MO.
