Maximo 7.6.0.8

BUDGET TRACKING APPLICATION

Users can specify a budget based on a financial period or specify a date range such as a fiscal year or quarter.

Budget administrators can then create budget lines around 9 out-of-the-box axis points (WO, Asset, Location, Chart of Accounts, 6 GL Components).

After determining what will drive the tracking, users can identify what kinds of transactions will impact estimated, committed and actual budget costs. There are 64 out-of-the-box rules provided to determine how transactions are considered against the budget.

Once established and approved, these budgets can be used to drive reporting that can help make better decisions across the organization and improve overall fiscal tracking and compliance.

INSPECTION TOOLS AND TASKS

Starting with 7.6.0.4, Work Centers have been released for Technicians, Supervisors, Business Analysts, and most recently Service Requestors. 7.6.0.8 now offers support for Inspection processes.

An Inspection form can be created that becomes the framework for the steps needed to be performed during an inspection, defining the kinds of questions and responses that need to be captured. It is managed with a status like other Maximo documents.

Once active, these Inspections can be executed and data easily captured in the field on a smart phone or tablet to drive safety, standards and regulatory compliance.

TIME ZONE RULES APPLICATION

Organizations with multiple and/or

global sites can specify time zone

rules to identify the local date and

time when records are created for a

process, such as generating work

orders from a preventive

maintenance record.

You create a time zone rule by

associating the process and the

process rule with the Maximo

business object. Time zone rules

can be associated with a process at

the system, organization, or site

level.
