Inventory -Hard and Soft Reservations s What s New? You can create hard reservations or soft reservations of inventory items and tools, based on the importance of the inventory requirement. Note: A hard reservation is a request for materials that is defined by the need for an item within a specific timeframe. Note: A soft reservation is a request for materials that is not subject to a timeframe. You can create a soft reservation to ensure that the item or tool is available for issue at any time that t it is needed. d 28 Draft 7
Inventory - Hard and Soft Reservations Screen Shot Example When creating a material reservation on a work order you can define it as HARD or SOFT or AUTOMATIC AUTOMATIC reservations will make the required date Mandatory.

Inventory - Improvements to Consignment Functionality What s New? In View/Edit Consignment Details, you can specify consignment items in inventory stock and enter consignment vendor details for inventory items and tools. You can also specify that an invoice is created when consignment items are consumed.. Note: The consignment items are located in a local storeroom, and are considered part of the consignment inventory. Consignment items are owned by external vendors. You can keep consignment items in your storeroom, and pay for those types of items when you use them. This functionality allows you to create an invoice for the consignment items you have consumed 31 Draft 7
Inventory - Consignment Details Screen Shot Example Invoices for consignment items are generated in one of three ways: By Consumption - Automatically when the item is consumed from the storeroom. By Frequency Using a Cron task to generate the invoice Manually - You generate an invoice manually. 32 Draft 7
Inventory - LIFO and FIFO Inventory Costing Methods What s New? You can apply last-in-first-out (LIFO) and first-in-first-out (FIFO) costing methods to inventory records. 33 Draft 7
Inventory - LIFO and FIFO Inventory Costing Methods Note: LIFO and FIFO costing is more precise than other costing methods. You can monitor the value of your inventory stock based on actual receipt costs. The costing method that you apply is used whenever an inventory transaction occurs. Last-in-first-out costing (LIFO) uses the receipt cost of items that are the newest in stock. First-in-first-out costing (FIFO) uses the receipt cost of items that are the oldest in stock. Benefit Examples: Prices generally rise over time because of inflation. As a result, the older inventory items in stock can decrease in value. Under the FIFO costing method, as the older and cheaper goods are sold, the newer and more expensive goods remain as assets to the company. A company that uses the LIFO costing method sells the most expensive (newest) inventory stock first. As profits are decreased, the company benefits from a lower rate of tax. 34 Draft 7

What s New in Work Order Tracking? Overview You can view more cost data for work orders and work packages. You can view internal and external labour costs and you can monitor whether actual costs exceed planned costs. 90 Draft 7
What s New in Work Order Tracking? Overview You can specify assigned owner groups. Note: In previous versions, first an Owner Group is assigned a new record. Then, someone from that group assigns the owner or takes ownership. When either value is changed, the other value is set to empty (cleared). The work order (or ticket) history shows ticket ownership going from Owner to Owner Group or reverse. This was designed for queuing, where both the Owner and Owner Group together indicated the current ownership. Because many customers have owners that belong to multiple owner groups, they want to clearly represent the group ownership at all times, and to be able to track all ownership changes. Specifically, as the WO record (or ticket) changes owner, the owner group should be tracked. Note: A new attribute was added, Assigned Owner Group, that keeps track of the Owner Group value. It is updated with and keeps track of group information. The new Assigned Owner Group field is used to display the actual group ownership. The behavior of the current Owner and Owner Group fields remain unchanged, they continue to be mutually exclusive. 91 Draft 7

TPAE definition and usage advice Definition of TPAE Tivoli's process automation engine is a component that provides the core functionality for IBM's Tivoli Integrated Service Management and Maximo products. It has a common installer and contains these capabilities: User interface framework Business objects framework Configuration tooling A core set of applications that support administration, system configuration, integration, and work flow. Add-on technologies, such as Web Replay and Tivoli Integration Composer, that grow over time Source: https://w3.tap.ibm.com/w3ki/display/tpae/tpae%20definition%20and%20terminology%20usage 106 Draft 7 2010 IBM Corporation
TPAE definition and usage advice Usage Use Tivoli's process automation engine in material that introduces the concept, such as marketing information, introductory topics, and the system info dialog. Note the use of possessive for Tivoli, which does not imply pya branded product or component. Do not use "Tivoli process automation engine". It is not approved by Tivoli Branding. Use process automation engine in all customer-facing information and product UIs (installer, messages, and so on.) instead of "Tivoli base services," which is not a valid term. Do not imply that the process automation engine is a product. Use lowercase on process automation engine except in situations that normally call for initial capitals (such as a menu selection). Do not use any of these terms in current releases (past releases do not require changes): Tpae TPAE MBS Base Services base services Tivoli Base Services Maximo Base Services Tivoli process automation engine Never abbreviate Tivoli because it is a registered trademark of IBM. Where space is an issue, for example, in table columns, you may use "Tivoli's PAE" or "PAE." However, avoid abbreviations unless there is no other alternative. 107 Draft 7 2010 IBM Corporation
