Define
Organization Basic DataIf you are using any of the components from IFS Maintenance, these activities are mandatory.
Note: Before you start entering the data, you need to make sure that a company has been established (see Initial Steps). You should also have defined users (see Foundation 1), established sites and connected sites to the users (see Distribution). You should also have decided how you would like to use the accounting rules so that the basic data you enter, i.e., maintenance organizations, object groups, work types, and events, are defined in such a way that they can be used as control types when defining the posting types, etc.
Maintenance Organizations Used to describe what part of the organization is responsible for planning and executing maintenance tasks. A rate per hourthe internal labor cost for the maintenance organizationcan be defined per maintenance organization. The rate is used when planning the internal cost for personnel time, and for calculating actual personnel cost for a work order, but is only used if the craft ID is not specified on the work order.
Employees The persons who will be creating, preparing, overseeing, executing, reporting, and authorizing work orders. One employee belongs to one maintenance organization. The employees entered here will also be available as employees in, i.e., IFS Human Resources. Employees who have already been established in other places within IFS Applications will still need to be activated as a Maintenance Employee. (Use the same employee ID.)
Crafts Used to describe the different competencies within your organization.
Crafts to employees The connection between employee and craft is established to describe each employee's skill set. This will help you ensure that a maintenance task that requires a certain competence is assigned to a the right person.
