IJ13240: IN WORK ORDER APPLICATION, MAXIMO DOES NOT UPDATE THE FIELDS IN SYNC

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  
  Maximo is not removing the fields in sync which needs to be
  wiped off automatically when removed.
  
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Go to the WO tracking application and create a new record
  
  2. Enter the mandatory fields: Location, Work Type, etc
  
  3. Go to the Plans tab, Labor section and assign a Labor value
  
  4. Save the record
  
  5. Go to Assignments tab and in Assignments section we see the
  Labor and Scheduled Start is getting automatically populated
  
  6. If we erase the Labor data from the field and click the Save
  button, we can see that Scheduled Start field
  (ASSIGNMENT.SCHEDLUEDATE) is not removed.
  
  7. This works in 7.5.x, but not in 7.6
  
  
  RESULTS:
  
  The Scheduled Start field is not cleared when Labor is cleared.
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  The Schedule Start field should be cleared when Labor is
  cleared.
  
  
  REPORTED IN VERSION:
  
  TPAE 7.6.0.9
  
  
  LOCAL FIX:
  
  - none -
  
  
  ADDITIONAL INFO:
  
  It took some time to look this over and we realized that we had
  an enhancement in Scheduler to allow Assignments to have a start
  date/time even if the labor or crew has not been assigned.
  
  It seems this enhancement has caused this change in behavior in
  WOT that Volvo does not like.
  
  So we would agree it is a defect that should be resolved.
