Problems about configurations

[sinva]

Hi,

I'm trying to set the values based on some conditions. But I could not find any solutions work:

1. How could I set the default value according to the values from relationships?

E.g. Setting the field Supervisor in the Purchase Requisitions application as the supervisor of the creator or requester that the creator or requester is generated by default using the current login user id, but could be overriden manually by users.


2. How could I reset some other fields based on the values of another field which is a combobox?


3. Is there anyway that to create the purchase requisitions by using a work order which plans to have an item which is not direct issue so that even not direct issue, the quantity could be greater than the number of available items and the purchase requisitions will be generated if the quantity could be greater than the number of available items?

E.g. Users want to have purchase an item to be stored in storeroom but which should be triggered by a work order / service request.


4. Is there anyway to set the access rights of the attachment links?


I am sorry that I am new to maximo. For your information, I am now using Maximo 6.2.1


Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,
for the first question these kind of things can be set using crossover domain.

second question when a item is reqeusted in work order, and the quantity wanted is more than the quantity available in the store room.
When the reorder is run, it checks if the date required for quantity is greater than d time vendor can ship it generates a Purchase order which can later be converted to Purchase order. if the vendor cannot supply it before it is required it is ignored..
I dont think there is any setting that can enable generation of PO from WO. thought you can always customize it.

I guess you can define access rights in security groups ..

Dear Ethen,

Thanks for your help. But it seems that the crossover domain will just limit the list of the available users but not default the value to the supervisor. In details, I want to have the field Supervisor to be default to the supervisor but it could be able to let users to have the list of persons having a dedicate user group, e.g. PR Supervisor.

Thanks in advance.

[Ethen]

can  you throw an example..

[sinva]

Thank you Ethen,

For example, I want to set the field Supervisor in the Purchase Requisitions application default as the supervisor of the creator or requester and filled in automatically. The creator or requester is generated by default using the current login user id. Then if the supervisor is on leave, I could choose another person from the list which is under the person group of PR Supervisor. Is it possible to do so??

I guess the best way would to attach a person domain with the attribute and overriding the constructor of PR and after calling super() write a small code to fetch the user id and then fetch the supervisor (guess should be in person table) and setting the value in appropriate field.
attaching the domail will allow to ch ange the value later with lookup. whereas when a new Pr is created, PR constructor would be called which will set the value once.

Thanks Ethen,

How could I overriding the constructor of PR? And In general how could I know which set of files that I should change when I have some similar problems later?

I have the maximodeveloper in my workspace already.

well this is something that will take time.

you have to extend the PR and PRSet class in this case.

If you have some experience to extend the mbo  classes then it should be easy else its going to be a bit tough..

tell me if you have any exp writing mbo classes.

Thanks Ethen,

I am sorry I do not have experience on doing that. Is there any suggested reference that I could follow?

[Ethen]

I am not sure.. try using maximo developer guide.. though em not sure if it gives any coding exp...
