Action Formulas

As an alternative to the Rules Engine idea, I wonder if IBM could enhance Maximo formulas by creating an "Action Formula" mechanism. Attribute formulas and object formulas already have most of the functionality that we’re looking for when it comes...

Open selected records in different application

Scenario: A user spends some time querying and selecting multiple WOs in the Quick Reporting list view. The user wants to open the selected WOs in a different application, such as WOTRACK. The user would prefer to use their existing selection, rat...

Cancelling WO doesn't cancel task (with approved labor actual; non-zero hours)

Scenario: I have an approved WO that has a task. The task has: An approved labor actual with non-zero hours Inherit Status Changes=Yes https://i.stack.imgur.com/iPX8z.png I can go ahead and cancel the WO, since the WO doesn't have any approved lab...

Scenario - table control doesn't honor global data restriction: (WOTRACK-->Plans/Actuals tabs-->Child WO table control) I created a data restriction that would make the WO.PARENT attribute read-only -- WHERE ISTASK=0. https://i.stack.imgur.c...

Prevent tasks from being converted to WOs (optional setting)

This RFE was recently declined: Converting task to child WO: WOCLASS remains as 'ACTIVITY' (incorrect) It's my understanding that the devs at IBM agree that Maximo is designed incorrectly, but that it would take too much effort/change/risk to impl...

Instead of hiding invalid statuses, make them available, but pop up an error/explanation

There is OOB functionality and configurable functionality in Maximo where certain statuses are hidden from the change status picklist. Example: If a WO has unapproved actuals, then the CLOSE status is hidden from the change status picklist. The fa...
