Notify Users of Material and Service Receipts
One of my recurring issues has been notifying uses of receipts in an email, without a separate email for each receipt record. To that end, I’ve created a process that uses an escalation to fire a custom action to do this. This is built on Maximo 7.5.0.10 on SQL Server. Note: The way this is built, it only works for POs where all lines are requested by the same user. You’re smart, I’m sure you can figure out options if you need to. Create a persistent attribute PO.LASTRECDATE... [More]

Transferring 100 Items on a 1/3 Conversion Should Not Mean That You Receive 99 Back
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... [More]
