Rolling up maintenance costs
In the Assets application, you can calculate the maintenance cost of your assets by rolling up costs that you incur for labor, materials, tools, and services.
About this task
If a work order is associated with an asset, the costs for labor, materials, tools, and services can be rolled up to the asset when the work order is closed. When you roll up maintenance costs for an asset, the cost is rolled up to the top-level asset in the hierarchy that the asset belongs to.
Costs can be rolled up manually or automatically. By default, cost rollups are manual. If you want costs to be calculated and rolled up automatically when a work order is closed, you must set the mxe.workorder.rollupMaintenanceCosts system property to 1. After you configure the system property for automatic rollups, all subsequent costs that are associated with work orders are rolled up automatically. However, any unprocessed maintenance costs that existed before the configuration are not automatically rolled up. You must roll up any preexisting, unprocessed maintenance costs manually.
If you upgrade to Maximo® Manage 8.3, run the Maintenance Cost Rollup Report to roll up pending maintenance costs before the upgrade.
