Created on Feb 29, 2024

Enable Inventory Reconciliation process & recounting feature/tab/list view for mismatched items on Maximo Mobile for EAM under ICMOBILE.

Current Reconciliation process-
1. First create countbook with multiple selection types (desktop step)
2. Assign those count books to storeroom person (desktop step)
3. Perform actual counting on Maximo Mobile (Maximo Mobile-IC)
4. Navigate back to desktop Maximo to cross check counting
5. Perform trial reconciliation in count books application (desktop step)
6. For items which are mismatched there is no way to select or have separate list created for recounting purpose (desktop step)
7. Perform manual Reconciliation if required (desktop step)
8. Complete the count books from Desktop application (desktop step-though it is available on Mobile, there needs additional verification)

The process mentioned above with existing application offering involves lots of redudant steps.

proposed idea is :
1.Reconciliation can be made available on Maximo Mobile
2.Once Counting done, there should be provision to identify/or separate tab to list items which are only mismatched so that recounting can be made only on those items

    Thank you for submitting the Idea, we greatly value your feedback. Our team is actively looking into how to better the Inventory Counting application, we'll be taking your input as a data point as well and consider the requests for future releases.

    I wanted to bring your attention to the Role Based Application (RBA) of ''Inventory Counting'' which provides this capability currently. The RBA is the same code / UI / feature set as the Mobile Application, the key difference is, it's accessed through a (mobile) browser and it requires connection. It and works directly with server queries (as opposed to the MAS Mobile App offline-first approach that doesn't require a connection).

    Please also note, that you do have a 2nd tab on both the AdHoc counting and the Count Books actions in ICMOBILE where you can make adjustments based on the information of whether the physical count was a match or a mismatch with what's in the Maximo database at the time (the mismatched counts are highlighted with yellow warning icons). In the RBA in Reconciliation on Mobile you can also see the amount by which the physical count differs from the one currently on file.

    We do understand you would like to see the Reconciliation within the app-store downloadable / installed version of the Application and other design changes.

    In case based on the RBA Reconciliation action (available in mobile browsers) you would have further notes or feedback please let us know and we will take those into consideration as well.
