8 1 FAM Inventory Management Training 1.1 FAM Project Overview FAM (Facilities Asset Management) is a major step forward in the evolution of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) at Penn State. The FAM system is built on the Maximo 7.5 platform. Efficient use of the Maximo 7.5 system to perform everyday asset and work management tasks will be critical to realizing the goals of the FAM project. 1.2 Maximo Overview IBM Maximo Asset Management is an integrated productivity tool and database that helps you manage all of your asset types on a single software platform. Built on a serviceoriented architecture (SOA), Maximo Asset Management delivers a comprehensive view of all asset types, their conditions and locations, and the work processes that support them, to provide you with optimal planning, control, audit, and compliance capability. The Maximo database provides critical information about assets and locations, including key attributes, their configuration, and their physical and logical relationships to other resources. Using Maximo, you can manage and track events related to your assets from cradle to grave including creating, assigning, monitoring, notifying, and reporting on key work and work support processes such as work orders and purchase orders, including status, from start to finish. 1.3 Inventory Management Training Manual This training manual focuses on the role of the Inventory Manager (and Inventory Control and Distribution) user as it executes functions in the FAM system. This manual will cover the applications and use cases that an Inventory Manager user will be expected to perform, on regular basis, inside of the system. The manual may not cover some functionality that the Inventory Manager user has access to if it is not directly related to a common activity that they are expected to perform. Specifically, this manual covers overviews, processes and specific exercise associated with the following topics: Classifications Item Masters Inventory Set Up Inventory Management Purchasing Material Pick Up and Distribution Invoicing 8 Inventory Management Training Manual

9 2 Classifications 2.1 Overview of Classifications Classifications identify and characterize similar objects. A building, a notebook computer, and a centrifugal pump are types of classifications. A classification can also describe an event, such as a broken window or a hard disk failure. Classifications help you: Standardize on object descriptions (i.e. Asset, Location and Item Descriptions) Allow for dynamic, type-based attributes (i.e. different specification attributes for a pump vs. a motor) Organize data for querying and reporting You use the Classifications application to create classifications and to establish classification hierarchies. In the FAM system Classifications will be used with the following objects: Items Assets Locations Work Order Tasks (Phase Codes) 2.2 Working with Classifications In the Classifications application, you can create classifications, and specify details about the attributes of classifications Creating Classifications Inventory Management users will have the ability to create Classifications in Maximo Exercise: Create an Asset Classification To create a Classification: 1. Sign into Maximo using your username and password. 2. Navigate to the Classifications application by using the Go To Menu Administration Classifications. 3. Select the New Classification icon. Inventory Management Training Manual 9

10 4. Enter PSU-UP-OPP in the Organization field. 5. Enter [Your Name] Widget] in the Classification field and tab out of the field. 6. Click the Yes button on the pop-up box. 7. Enter [Your Name] Widget in the Classification Description field and the Classification Path Description field. Note: It is the Classification Description that will be the base description for any objects using this classification if the Generate Description? box is checked. 8. Enter (or select) FACILITY in the Failure Code field. 10 Inventory Management Training Manual

11 Note: Any Asset or Location that is associated to this Classification will inherit this Failure Class by default. 9. In the Use With section, Click New Row button. 10. Enter Asset in the Use with Object field. Note: You can repeat steps 9 and 10 to add other objects that this Classification can be used with. It is very common that Classifications are shared across Locations, Assets, and Items. 11. Save the Classification. This Classification is now available to be associated with Asset records in the Assets application Updating Classifications Inventory Management users will have the ability to update Classifications in Maximo. It is important to note that great care needs to be taken when updating Classifications. Since they are associated with objects throughout the system, updating them affects the associated records. For example, if you delete an attribute from a Classification, that attribute will be deleted from all objects tied to the Classification along with any data that was in it! Inventory Managements will have the ability to update Classifications on the fly including the ability to: Update Descriptions Change Failure Codes Modify Parent/Child Relationships Add/Remove Use With Objects Add/Remove/Modify Attributes Modify How Object Descriptions are Built Inactivate Classifications Inventory Management Training Manual 11

12 Exercise: Update an Asset Classification to Add an Attribute 1. In the Attributes section, click the New Row button. 2. Enter [YOUR NAME] TYPE in the Attribute field and tab out of it. 3. Click on the Question Mark icon that appears in the field. Note: Anytime you are adding a new attribute that has not been used on any classification before, you will get this symbol. If the attribute you are adding to the classification already existed information about the attribute would automatically populate the record. 4. Select Yes when asked if you would like to add the attribute. 5. Enter Widget Type in the Attribute Description field and ALN in the Data Type field. Note: You can create a Domain (value list) in the Domains application and associate it to the attribute by entering it in the Domain field. Also, if the value expected is associated with a Unit of Measure, the Unit of Measure can be defined in the Unit of Measure field. 6. Select the Use With Object Detail icon to the right of the row. 12 Inventory Management Training Manual

13 7. Click on the Mandatory? Field to check the box. 8. Select OK. Note: Checking the Mandatory? Field makes the attribute required for the record that the Classification is associated with. This screen also allows you to sequence the attributes, determine if the value of the attribute should be included in the object description, and if the attribute should be utilized on the Use With object specified (for example, a particular attribute may be applicable to Assets but not Items.) 9. Save the Classification. The attribute added will now be visible on all Asset objects already associated with this Classification. The attribute will also be included any time new Assets are associated with this Classification. Inventory Management Training Manual 13

14 3 Item Masters 3.1 Overview of Item Masters The Item Master application is used to define items that are stocked in your storerooms or purchased using Purchase Orders. You group these items in an item set that can be shared by the organizations that use the item set. When the item record is created, you can define the main attributes of the item (such as the commodity codes, the order, and issue units, whether an item is lotted, rotating, or condition-enabled). You can also specify any alternate items that you can use in its place and a list of the condition codes that you want applied to the item. The Item Master application is used to perform the following tasks for each item: Create items that can be stocked in storerooms and/or purchased on Purchase Orders. Define information related to an item, such as: o vendors that carry the item o specifications for the item o the parts needed to build an item assembly structure. Create item kits that are collections of items that you issue as a single unit. Add items to one or more storerooms. Specify the percentage of items that can be received over the amount ordered in the initial agreement. Attach outside documents that relate to an item. 3.2 Working with Item Masters In the Item Masters application, you can add item records, associate items with vendors, add specifications, create item structures, create condition-enabled structures, create item kits, and add alternate items. You can also change the status of the item, duplicate the item, specify organization details, add the item to a storeroom and delete items. 14 Inventory Management Training Manual

19 4 Inventory (Set Up) 4.1 Overview of Inventory The Inventory application is used to store information about all aspects of inventory materials. Once an Item Master has been added to a storeroom, you can monitor the storeroom balance of those items. You can track the cost of inventory stock and you can reorder items when stock must be replenished. You can monitor the use of special order items and stocked items. Vendor information can be stored and items can be reordered promptly when the storeroom balance indicates that the items must be replenished. You can check the balances of individual items and tools at the bin and lot level for each storeroom. If an item is stored in more than one location, you can view balances for all storeroom locations on one screen. Items are added to storerooms in the Item Master application. The Inventory application is used to perform the following tasks: Search the database for inventory items and tools. Specify the balances of items and item costs. Specify the bins and lots where items are stored, and view the storeroom locations. Issue, transfer, and return inventory items by site and storeroom location. (Can also be done with Inventory Usage.) Specify reorder details, such as the reorder point, the lead time, and the order unit of an item. You can also specify information about the vendors that supply an item and the multiple manufacturers or models that are associated with each vendor. Identify and track rotating assets that are associated with a rotating item. List all assets for which an item is listed as a subassembly or a spare part. Specify the percentage of items that can be received over the quantity ordered. Initiate reordering for stock items. 4.2 Working with Inventory In the Inventory application, you can update reorder information, manually adjust bin locations and bin balances, and perform physical counts.

29 5 Storeroom Reordering 5.1 Overview of Reordering With the daily use of inventory items and tools, organizations must replenish inventory stock to stay functional. You replace used inventory stock by reserving and reordering items and tools that you need. You can reorder inventory items by initiating the Reorder Items action in Inventory. Maximo will evaluate current inventory levels and upcoming reservations for selected items to determine which items should be reordered and will create the necessary Purchase Requisitions Satellite Storeroom Reorders Supervisor Runs Reorder for Storeroom Supervisor Reviews/Submits Reorder PRs OPP Stores Reviews/Approves Reorder PRs Supervisor Runs Reorder for Storeroom A Supervisor initiates the reorder process by running the Reorder Items action in the Inventory application for a specific set of items or all items in a particular storeroom. The reorder action will automatically create Purchase Requisitions Inventory Management Training Manual 29

30 (PRs) for the items that need to be reordered. The PRs will automatically enter a workflow to be reviewed and approved Supervisor Reviews and Submits PR for Satellite Storeroom Once a reorder PR has been generated by the system, it will automatically be routed to the Supervisor that initiated the reorder. The Supervisor will have the ability to review and update the PR in the Purchase Requisitions application and then either cancel it or route to the OPP Stores In Box for ordering. Option What Happens Next Dependencies PR Approved, submit to OPP Stores In Box. PR not approved, Cancel. PR Status goes to Supervisor Approved (SUPERAPPR) and is assigned to the OPP Stores Inbox. PR status goes to canceled (CAN). Workflow stops. N/A N/A OPP Stores Reviews and Approves PR for Satellite Storeroom OPP Stores will receive PRs that have been submitted by Supervisors for Satellite Storeroom reorders in their inbox. They will have the ability to review and update these PRs and will also have the following workflow routing options: Option What Happens Next Dependencies Change status of PR to Approved (APPR). PR not approved. Send back to Supervisor for rework or cancel. PR Status goes to Approved (APPR.) Workflow stops. PR status goes to Waiting Supervisor Review (WSUPER). Workflow assigns record to Supervisor that originated the PR. N/A Not required, but a rework/cancel reason should be provided in the workflow memo field prior to routing. 30 Inventory Management Training Manual

31 Once the PR is approved, it will be processed like any other approved PR to ultimately become a Purchase Order (PO.) Exercise: OPP Stores Reviews and Approves PR for Satellite Storeroom 1.

38 6 Purchasing 6.1 Overview of Purchasing The applications in the Purchasing module are used to manage the purchasing process, including purchasing materials and services, receiving them and then invoicing them. 6.2 Desktop Requisitions The Desktop Requisitions module (within the Self Service module) can be used to create and to view purchase requisitions and to create reservations for stock items. It is a place where you can go to initiate any request for parts or materials. OPP Employees will have the ability to initiate requests for both non-stock items as well as stock items, but will need to provide a valid Work Order Number to do so. Non-OPP Employees will only have the ability to request stock parts, and will need to provide a Customer Billing Number. The applications in this module can also be used to create template requisitions for repeat orders and create lists of items that you order frequently. Finally, you can also check the status of your orders in this module. Desktop Requisition lines that are for Stock Items will automatically create Item Reservations on the OPPSTORE storeroom. See the Issue Parts from Desktop Requisition section for next processing steps. Desktop Requisition lines that are for non-stock Items, Materials or Services will automatically create Purchase Requisitions that enter an electronic approval workflow, described below. 6.3 Purchase Requisitions for non-stock Items and Materials Workflow As stated before, Desktop Requisitions for non-stock items will automatically create Purchase Requisitions (PRs). PRs that are created that are beyond the approval limit of the submitter will be routed for approval until all appropriate levels of approval are achieved: Supervisor, if over $2,000 Manager, if over $3,000 Director, if over $5,000 The assignments for these approvals happen automatically via workflow. If a user has PRs that they need to provide approval for, they will receive an 38 Inventory Management Training Manual

39 assignment in their in-box on their Start Center in Maximo. From their in-box, they will be able to access the record, review it, and provide their approval or rejection via workflow options. Once all business approvals are obtained, the record will be routed to the OPP Stores In-Box for review and processing Reviewing/Approving Purchase Requisitions Users associated with the OPP Stores In-Box will receive all business approved (BUSAPPR) PRs in their workflow assignments in-box. These users will have the following workflow options on the record: Option What Happens Next Dependencies PR not approved. Send back to Requester for rework or cancel. (See memo) PR approvals complete. Proceed to route options. PR to be processed as Standard, Purchase Card, or Release Order. Leave status as BUSAPPR. PR approvals complete. Proceed to route options. Change status of PR to Approved for Limited Order processing. PR Status goes to waiting approval (WAPPR) and is assigned to the employee that submitted the Purchase Requisition. PR Status remains as business approved (BUSAPPR) and workflow stops. PR Status goes to approved to be processed as a Limited Order (APPRLO) and workflow stops. N/A N/A N/A Exercise: Reviewing/Approving Purchase Requisition for Standard PO 1. On the Start Center locate the Business Approved PRs section. Inventory Management Training Manual 39
