    From the Maximo Support Desk - Viewing Multiple Crafts for the Same Labor Record in Assignment Manager

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Visits (3166)

    Tweet
    You've likely discovered that a Labor record can have more than one Craft associated, but you've observed that only the default Craft of each Labor is being displayed in the Assignment Manager - this is the "out of the box" design.  That could be perceived as counter-intuitive to the functionality that the Crafts component is intended to provide.  (oops, did I just say that?)  The good news is that there is a relatively simple configuration that you can implement to display...

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Detailed Steps To Enable A Second Language Login

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Visits (1975)

    Tweet
    Did I mention that IBM is a global company?  :)  Maximo is used all over the world, in several continents and countries!  For this reason, it is likely necessary for other global companies to have multiple languages in their Maximo environment for their global user bases. There is some relatively simple configuration necessary to use a non-English language login in Maximo.  The default login to Maximo is English.  The following procedure describes the steps necessary to configure a second, or non-English language...

    BiLog: Configuring Maximo Service Request Work Center

        I’ve got a problem…with eating too many slices of banana bread   while trying to stay in the lines of paint by number templates   and binging on videos   : )   But…there are no problems in creating new categories and issues with the Maximo Work Center Service request work center!   Using categories helps your users add Service requests much more quickly – while standardizing the information you receive and process.   Configuring the SR Work Center is easy!   You can...

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Functionality of the Maintain Asset Hierarchy Checkbox

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Visits (2525)

    Tweet
    Anyone who is relatively new to Maximo has discovered that there are plenty of checkboxes and seemingly innocuous options to flag, and it's hard to keep track of all the robustness.   Pretty sure that's not a word. Well, here's one... you've probably noticed the Maintain Hierarchy checkbox on your Asset records.  This is a very useful one...                                   The summary is that the Maintain Hierarchy checkbox is...

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Cron Task Parameter to use if your database is restarted!

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Comments (4) | Visits (2761)

    Tweet
    A Global System Property has been available in the last several Maximo Feature Packs, named mxe.crontask.runonschedule .   This added functionality is a response to an APAR (IV79558 - PMWOGEN CRON TASK DOES NOT RESUME SCHEDULE IF DATABASE IS RESTARTED) that was entered for the scenario whereby a client had experienced a server malfunction and subsequently fell behind on scheduled asset maintenance due to the inability to run the crontask for PM Work Order Generation during the database downtime. *If you are using Maximo Feature Packs...

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Get Started With Consignment Items

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Visits (2232)

    Tweet
    A raw description of a consignment item in Maximo inventory would be an item that your site uses or sells, and which another entity pays you to do this.  You could think of it as purchasing, receiving, and otherwise maintaining and transacting an item in your Maximo environment, but you're essentially doing this on behalf of another company.  The consignment invoicing ability in Maximo facilitates this to make such an arrangement very feasible to undertake.  Of course, there are many other business scenarios where...

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Is the Manufacturer field validated against the Companies table?

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Visits (2283)

    Tweet
    Maximo Users have observed that the value in the Manufacturer field on Inventory records can be free form text, and is otherwise not validated against any table or lookup.  I took the liberty of verifying what the expected behavior of this field is in regards to company records, or any intended validation of values that can be entered into this field.   My findings are that it is by intentional design that Maximo does not validate the MANUFACTURER column against the COMPANIES table.  Values may be entered in the Manufacturer...

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Entering Non-Stock Materials on Work Order Plans

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Comments (8) | Visits (2540)

    Tweet
    I've now heard this question from a few different Maximo clients over time, so I think I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't say something... "Is there a way to enter a Direct-Issue, Non-Stock Material item on the Plans tab in Work Order Tracking?"   The observation, or symptom is that the User is not able to select the material item type on the Plans tab in Work Order Tracking.  The type of item that I am discussing is an item that is not marked for regular reorder, is currently not in the Storeroom,...

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Get Started With Calendars

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Visits (2140)

    Tweet
    Maximo Calendars are used for work assignments, among other things.  Once a Person record and Labor record (corresponding to the Person record) is created, it is beneficial to assign this resource to a Calendar to take advantage of Maximo's scheduling and work assignment capabilities.  By implication, this is primarily used with internal labor, but it's possible to associate a Calendar with external labor to reflect that labor availability as well. The following steps can serve as a "quick start guide" to... [More]

    How to show an error message by automation script?

    Cynthia Wang 270001XXTS | | Visits (3742)

    Tweet
    In Maximo application, you may want to validate some attributes before save the record. If the attributes are incorrect, you would like the system to gave error message to indicate the users to fix the data before saving the record. There are many ways to achieve this function in Maximo, while today I would like to give an example by using automation script.   For example, we have a use case like this: In Work Order Tracking application, ESTDUE is set as "0:00" by default, while we prefer user input correct value before save the...

    Duplicate report output is received by Maximo v76 users

    JulietM 270002YJV8 | | Visits (2945)

    Tweet
    It is rare, but when it does happen and the users start receiving duplicate report output sent via email in their inbox, Maximo administrators will be hit with the questions of "how do I troubleshoot this issue?", or "why is this happening?" There could be several reasons as to why users are receiving duplicate emails (report output), whereas they only expect to receive one.   How can this type of scenario be addressed? There are several things to look at:   1)In System Properties application, check to see if... [More]

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Domains Related To Asset Up and Down Status

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Visits (2061)

    Tweet
    I would like to explain the usage of the Asset Up and Asset Down Status, and also the ASSETSTATUS, LOCSTATUS, and LOCASSETSTATUS domains .  Questions surrounding these components of the Maximo Assets application have been asked by some of my clients, so this likely means that more Maximo users must have made similar observations.  Hopefully I can clarify this functionality here.   A client recently inquired about two observations related to Domains: "I thought Maximo used to store Asset status changes in ASSETSTATUS table....

    From the Maximo Support Desk - Work Order Fields That Populate or Update Reservations' Date Fields

    TomRichardson 0600021RN4 | | Comment (1) | Visits (2185)

    Tweet
    If you view a current, existing reservation, it is beneficial to know the cause and effect of certain cascading updates...   A Maximo User recently inquired about the Add/Modify Reservations dialog.  Specifically, the question was what would happen to the Reservation if the Required Date and/or Scheduled Start field on the Work Order gets updated.  Here is a summary of what happens in this scenario...   Required Date :  this field is populated from the Work Order value in the Required Date on the Materials tab; the...
