| 1 | What is the integration between eAM and FA? | On the eAM Asset Number, there is an "Other" tab where the FA Asset Number can be entered. This gives you a link between the eAM and FA Asset. As this implies, you will have to create an FA Asset Number and an eAM Asset Number. If you are using r12, there is lots more for you. Release 12 allows you to capitalize selected Work Orders for the assets which pass entries into the FA import transactions. For each Work Orders, yuo can select which elements (material/labor/OPS) you want to capitalize and by how much percentage |

| 2 | Impact of Closing Accounting Period When Incomplete Work Orders Exist | Incomplete Work Orders count refer to Maintenance Work Orders that are scheduled to complete by period end but are not closed yet. While closing a period, the system displays a warning to the user indicating that some maintenance work orders have not been completed as yet. The user now has an option to respect the warning and go back and complete the work orders. If they do not respect the warning and go ahead and close the period (even though some work orders have not been completed), then the user can only complete the work order in an open period, which will be different from the scheduled completion date of the work order. Thus the maintenance history of the work orders will not be correct. | 401311.1 |
| 3 | What Role do Variance Accounts Play in eAM ? | Variance accounts play no role in eAM. The proper set up is to load the appropriate maintenance expense account into both the valuation and variance account fields for the WIP Accounting Class. This will result in maintenance work order expenses booking to the expense account when incurred. So, when setting up WIP Accounting Classes, use the same maintenance expense account code in both the valuation and variance columns. This will cause maintenance expenses to book to the proper GL account and period. | 372108.1 |
| 4 | Cant Create New Asset Group: Asset Group Must Be Non- Transactable APP-INV-05623 | Navigation - Inventory > Setup > Item > Atrribute Controls
Status Attributes:
Group Name = Inventory
Attribute Name = Transactable
Controlled At = Master Level
Status Setting = Defaults Value (changed from previous value = Sets Value)
However, this solution works only on an instance when PJM is installed.
Please note that PJM does not need to be setup in it's entirety in order to use eAM application. All you need to do is to save PJM parameters for the eAM enabled organization.
When you install eAM, the discrete mfg family is automatically installed. PJM is part of discrete family. So you should be able to just open the form and save it without entering any data. | 374952.1 |
| 5 | How to Change the Parent Asset of an Existing Asset Number
| As per functionality through forms, parent asset fields should be non-updateable.
However, Configuration History Page (in Self Service) can be used to remove Parent Asset. We support the removal of the Parent Asset from Self Service. Forms are used to just establish the relationship (i.e. Add a Parent to an Asset) for the first time. Subsequently any changes in the hierarchy have to be done via the Configuration History Page in Self Service. | 396972.1

| What is the Purpose of the Maintenance Offset Account? | The Maintenance Offset account is used for the accounting distribution entries of Rebuild Serial
Number in the following transactions in R11i10:
* When you instantiate a new Rebuild Serial Number, eAM generates a Miscellaneous Receipt transaction behind the scenes:
- Dr. Subinventory Valuation accounts
Cr. Maintenance Offset account
* When you specify a parent asset for a Rebuild Serial Number that is in store, a Miscellaneous Issue transaction is created by eAM to move it out of inventory:
- Dr. Maintenance Offset account
Cr. Subinventory Valuation accounts
* When you end-date a hierarchy, you have the option to return Rebuild Serial Number to inventory. No entries will be created if you do not select the option.
- Dr. Subinventory Valuation accounts
Cr. Maintenance Offset account

| 8 | Is it possible to display the asset description for all assets in Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Self Service ? | Yes, the profile option "EAM: Asset hierarchy description length" governs how asset description is displayed.
Here is how the profile option behaves:
A. If the option is not specified no asset description will be appended.
B. If a number is specified for the profile value, the first characters up to that number will be appended in the following format:
(1.....n of asset description)
C. If a non-number or non whole number is specified for the profile value,
no description will be displayed next to the asset number in the hierarchy.
To enable the profile option:
A. Navigate to Enterprise Asset Management
B. Setup
C. Profile -> 'EAM: Asset hierarchy description length'
D. Specify a whole numeric value

| 10 | How to generate updatewo.log and createwo.log file for a particular work order ? | In order to provide additional information on the Work Order creation/ updation, EAM generates two additional files very usefull in debugging the Work Order issues.
In order to generate the log files: updatewo.log or createwo.log it is necessary to have the following settings:
1. Under System Administrator > Profiles > System
EAM: Debug Profile Option needs to be set to Yes at site level.
2. A writable directory in v$parameter.
Perform the test case: create Work Order or Update Work Order in EAMWOMDF form.
Every time when WO API is involved, the following files are generated: createwo.log , updatewo.log.
These log files will be generated in the the first writable directory specified in v$parameter :
Run the following query to determine the path:
SELECT value FROM v$parameter WHERE name='utl_file_dir';
Please note:
createwo.log is overwritten every time when a new work order is created.
updatewo.log is overwritten every time when a new work order is updated. | 395519.1 |

| 11 | Is there a way to prefix Preventive Maintenance (PM) work orders, e.g., system profile like 'PM: Generate Work Order Prefix ' ? | This is by design. We have prefix that can be set for manual Work Orders in the eAM Parameters window. However, we do not have any prefix that can be specified for the PM created work orders. Using a Prefix for PM created work orders is an enhancement request (Refer ER 5638441). | 430484.1 |
| 12 | Preventive Maintenance Work Orders Are Not Getting Generated | Cause : The GL Accounting period was not defined for the period for which the user was trying to generate the work orders.
Issue only comes with the work orders getting generated in the time period where the GL Accounting Periods are not defined.
BUG 4879426 - PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE WORK ORDERS NOT GETTING GENERATED
Solution: Define the GL Accounting Periods.
Generate Work Orders program requires the GL Accounting periods to be defined for the Work Orders to get generated during those periods.

| 13 | What is the functionality of the profile option "EAM: Maintenance Work Request Options" . | This profile option was introduced in 11.5.9 and the profile option is set at the responsibility level
Based upon the profile, EAM: Maintenance Work Request, users will be able to
- Update All Work Requests
- Update User Created Work Requests Only
- View All but Update Users Created Work Requests (Also the Default Setting for the new Responsibilty)
The above mentioned three are converted as the following 3 values for the profile :
- View All and Update user logged
- View and Update user logged only
- View and Update All
As this set in the responsibilty level it controls the way that the user can view and update work requests that are created by users. | 292585.1 |
| 14 | EAM Work Order Number is increasing at a very fast rate | This can be prevented by 'pinning' the sequence in shared memory. Please do the following :
1. From sqlplus run the command
exec dbms_shared_pool.keep('WIP_JOB_NUMBER_S', 'Q');
to pin the sequence.
2. Verify that there is no undue jumps in WO numbers.
3. After verification ,add it to some sql script which would run it at db startup, so that the pinning is not lost after a db bounce.
