This activity is used to plan material lines that are required to perform the work order. You can also adjust the planned material requirement at any time during planning or when performing a work task. For each part, you can see how many have already been issued, and how many are available in inventory. You can also view information about each part from the inventory register in IFS/Inventory.
If a work order is PM-generated, the entire material planning is copied from the PM-action to the work task/s. If a work task is generated from a maintenance order (in Fleet and Asset Management), all the maintenance order material demands will be transferred to the work task.If inventory-tracked rental tools/equipment are entered in the Prepare Work Order/Work Tasks/Resources /Rental or Work Task/Resources/Rental tab, a new maintenance material requisition gets created. The material lines created are linked to the corresponding work task. The Rental option is selected on rental tool/equipment material lines. Issuing the rental tool/equipment to the work task automatically generates a return line in Work Task/Returns tab. Once the work is done, the rental part has to be returned to inventory from Work Task/Returns tab. Rental material lines cannot be created manually.
When a work order is created from a CRO line, a new maintenance material requisition is created. The component to be repaired will be included as a part with the Repair Part option is selected. When the part to be issued is auto-repairable, issuing the part automatically generates the repair work order.If the part entered has the Create Repair WO option selected you have to enter additional values.
You can connect materials to any site that belongs to the same company as the work order (provided the user is connected to the site).
