In Maximo, reorder quantity is calculated by this formula:   Order Quantity = [(ROP + 1) –Quantity on Order –Available Balance] Y = Order Quantity / Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) X = Next whole number integer of Y Reorder Quantity = X * EOQ     Let me give an example how it works: 1. Create an testing item and set the Reorder parameters 1.1. Create ITEM1000 in ITEM Master application 1.2. Add ITEM1000 to Storeroom CENTRAL 1.3. Set current balance as 10 1.4.

The link below contains the steps in how to take advantage of this new feature: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21902458   But if you go through the steps of the scenario described there, the first problem that you could face is that the Step 2 won't work when you are coming from a 7.5.0.8 version.

From Passport Advantage, download the Maximo Asset Management 7.6 installation files for your OS. There will be five: one for Maximo, one for DB2, and three for WebSphere.

This configuration is essential the same as Live.com.  Additionally, we'll go over a few... [More]

  It's been awhile since my last blog post and even longer since the last one I did regarding LDAP security. Recently I've had a couple users come to me and ask why it takes time for changes made to the directory to show up in WebSphere.   For example: If I move my user  'cn=updateuser, ou=maximo users, ou=swg, dc=mxeam13, dc=torolab, dc=ibm, dc=com'   to another organization unit such as 'cn=updateuser, ou=support, ou=swg, dc=mxeam13, dc=torolab, dc=ibm, dc=com' . You won't see this change... [More]
