It was recently brought to my attention by a customer who installed an Interim Fix for Maximo 7.6.0.0 that the Maximo Asset Management version number had been updated from Maximo 7.6.0.0 to 7.6.0.9.  This was a cause for alarm which in term had them contact IBM to confirm the version of the application and look in to why it was showing incorrectly.  After reviewing the system information which looked similar to the following, but not the same. (I don't have an environment with this versioning issue).   Version Tivoli's... [More]

Hi,   I just got 7.6.0.5 downloaded.  It's really nice to find a comprehensive read me file that comes with the new fix pack.    The read me contains info about the new work centers (with links that take me to some YouTube demo recording, steps for Watson integration, knowledge center for the work center users), new functionality by applications, installation steps with notes to use UI configuration tool to enable 7.6.0.5 work centers and a list of fixes by applications.   I've attached the read me file here for...

  When you want to add a constraint between work orders the constraint icon from the toolbar is selected. The cross is visible in the Gantt view.   Typically this is where work orders have constraints associated. However the constraint cannot be added between the parent-child work orders.  Why would this be the case?  The data retrieved by Scheduler needs to include all the components it requires.  The parents also need to be displayed.  Otherwise, it is not able to work with them as the underlying data is not...

                      Transferring 100 Items on a 1/3 Conversion Should Not Mean That You Receive 99 Back When there is a conversion factor between two storerooms and the conversion is 1/3 units the consequence can be that after sending 100 items and return them, only 99 are returned with one lost.  Understandably this happens because it is using a 1/3 conversion.  This can be resolved by modifying the attribute Conversion value to have 4 decimal points instead of the out of the...

I panicked.  I could not find my popcorn.  You know...the best popcorn in the whole wide world.  Salty, sweet, full of crunch and at only 29.15 calories a cup...well...it just begs you to eat the whole bag all at once.   As my stress levels rose in aisle 4 of my local supermarket, I lunged at the nearest stock boy and begged him to help me find the soul food of my existence.  He casually rolled his eyes behind his head...and nonchalantly pointed to the center of the aisle.... directly in front of me.     My...

Some people might think that their Unit Cost field inside their reorder PR is being wrongly populated, when they could actually be looking at the wrong fields. After accessing the Inventory application, you'll see many cost fields in the first tab (Standard Cost, Average Cost, Last Receipt Cost), which aren't considered by Maximo whenever a reorder runs.       If there is no primary vendor registered, the reordering process populates the Unit Cost from a vendor that is in the Reorder Details tab and, since it's an...
