Content

Maximo 7.1 Base Services has added several new enhancements to the Inventory application including the:

• the ability to give items a status (users can now set statuses for items that are no longer to be used)
• the item status is governed by business rules (ie if an item is referenced on a PO or job plan it cannot have its status changed to say obsolete)
• the ability to roll the status down to an organization and it's inventory records
• the ability to view the status history of the item and the user who initiated the change
• the ability to change the status of more than one item at a time when selected from the list tab
• the reorder process will only consider items for reorder that are in the ACTIVE or PLANNING statuses (this is also applies to direct issue items)
• the ability to issue the item from inventory to multiple assets using the Issue Current Items to Multiple Assets option (this option will add the item as a spare part for the selected assets and update the SPAREPART.ISSUEQTY)
