Configuring Maximo Utilities

After you deploy Maximo® Utilities, you must complete configuration tasks.

Utility business processes
The work management for Maximo Utilities uses two primary business processes: a nondesign business flow and a design business flow. The nondesign business flow uses job plans and the design business flow uses compatible unit estimation to define the details of work.
Organization settings for utilities
The options that you select for an organization control how transmission and distribution (T&D) information is processed. You can modify these options, which are related to various applications.
Defining compatible units
Compatible units define the type and quantity of resources that are required to perform work. You can create compatible units within a library to identify these resources.
Meter asset import enterprise services
Three inbound enterprise services are used when you import meter asset information. These enterprise services define the object structures, object relationships, and field attributes that receive and create records within the database. You can configure the object structures, object relationships, and field attributes to meet specific business requirements.
Database tables and columns
Maximo Utilities has database tables that are specific to Maximo Utilities. It also adds industry-specific columns to the Maximo Manage database tables. You can run SQL queries to list all of the tables and columns that are unique to Maximo Utilities.
