Work parameters

Work parameters are related to work orders, budgets, and project management features that must be set for Infor EAM (Oracle Forms) and Infor EAM to work properly.

Set values for work parameters according to the following table. For more information on setting parameter values, see Defining installation parameters.

Code Example Description Fixed 
7ISCDKEY
 Infor EAM Caller Login for Service Requests CD key No 
AUTODMEC
 Y This code determines whether the Remove Equipment hyperlink on the Equipment page of the Work Orders form breaks the association between the parent work order and a multiple equipment child work order or whether the system also deletes the multiple equipment child work order.

Valid values are Y or N . By default the parameter is set to Y, which means that the system deletes the related multiple equipment child records. 

AUTOPMCL
 NO This code indicates whether to automatically close all released minor PMs at release of the major PMs (YES/NO). No 
BOOKDATE
 ON Indicates whether to enforce date constraints when booking hours. If set to OFF, the system ignores the constraints. If set to ON, the system enforces the constraints.
Note: Setting this parameter OFF may result in inconsistencies within your booked hours data.

Setting BOOKDATE to OFF enables you to book labor hours for a date that is earlier than Date reported. By enabling you to book the hours without any date restrictions based on the Date reported field, you can leave the value for Date reported as is and still book hours for work that has already been completed.

No 
BOOPLAN
 OFF Booking hours. Valid values are ON and OFF. When booking hours, if the value is ON, Infor EAM gets the trade rate from the activity on which hours are booked. If the value is OFF, Infor EAM gets the rate from the employee table. Changing this value will not affect existing data. If you change this parameter and open work orders exist on which hours have already been booked, inconsistencies will arise. Close work orders before changing BOOPLAN. No 
CALSTD
 YES Determines if calibration standards that have overdue PM work orders can be used to perform a calibration.

If CALSTD is set to YES, equipment with overdue PM work orders are available for selection as a calibration standard.

If CALSTD is set to NO, equipment with overdue PM work orders are not available for selection as a calibration standard.

No 
CASCLOC
 NO Cascade equipment Location changes to PM equipment records. If set to YES cascade changes. If set to NO, do not cascade changes. No 
COMDAYS
 14 Number of days during which you can book hours on closed work orders. Infor recommends a minimum value of 1. Changing the value will not affect existing data. No

DSCHAVAI
 7 Number of days from current date used to calculate labor availability in daily scheduling No 
DUPCHECK
 ON If code is set to ON, Infor EAM checks for duplicate and repeated service requests. No 
EVTCASCD
 N Event cascade. This code indicates whether changing a parent work order’s status to Closed or Cancelled causes the status of child work orders to also change. No 
INRVCTRL
 NO This code indicates whether Revision control is activated for inspections. No 
INSWOST
 L This code identifies the status used to create work orders from inspection forms. You can choose user codes equivalent to type R (Released). No

 0 Issue days. This code indicates the number of days for which issues can be made after you close a work order. Valid values are any non-negative numbers. Changing the value will not affect existing data. No 
JTAUTH
 NO This code indicates whether work order type authorization is activated. Work order type authorization limits which users can update, insert, or delete work orders based on the type of work order. No 
NPRDAYS
 14 Nonproductive days. This code indicates the number of days for which you can book past nonproductive hours, which is labor performed without a work order. Note that this parameter may interfere with closed periods data. Changing the value will not affect existing data. No 
PMNEST
 YES Indicates whether to enable the following PM nesting enhancements. Valid values are YES or NO.

If YES is selected:

The system adjusts the due date forward for nested, more frequent work orders with a status of Awaiting release or Bypassed whenever a work order is Completed.

The system adjusts the due date forward for more frequent PM work orders when attempting to release the work order if it is nested with a Completed less frequent work order.

If NO is selected:

The system adjusts the due date forward for nested, more frequent work orders with a status of Bypassed whenever a work order is completed.

The system changes the status of more frequent PM work orders to Released when attempting to release the work order and it is nested with a Completed less frequent work order.

No 
PMCRPAST
 This code indicates whether Infor EAM can generate new fixed PM work orders with a due date in the past. Valid values are YES and NO. The default setting is NO.

If the value is set to YES, Infor EAM creates the next PM work order with a due date that reflects the calculated work order due date and the PM frequency, even if the next due date is in the past. If the value is NO, Infor EAM always creates the PM work order with a future due date.

No 
PMRVCAPP
 NO PM Revision Control. This code indicates whether you can create a new revision only from an approved revision. No 
PMRVCDEP
 NO PM Revision Control. This code indicates whether components of a PM depend on the PM itself. No 
PMRVCRES
 YES PM Revision Control. This code indicates whether users can approve lines only from their own departments. No 
PMRVCTRL
 NO PM Revision Control. This code indicates whether PM Revision Control is activated. No 
PMWODATE
 C This code indicates the starting date used when calculating the next due date of a variable PM work order. Set to C for completion date, PB for calibration Performed By date, or RB for calibration Reviewed By date. No 
PPMSTAT
 A PM Status. This code indicates the status of a PM work order when generated from a PM schedule. Valid values are A for Awaiting Release and R for Released. Changing the value will not affect existing data. No

REQDAYS
 -999 Number of days after completing a work order that a requisition can be created against it. No 
RSPCOMP
 NO Indicates whether to display the Qty. Completed on work orders for internally repaired repairable spare parts. If set to NO, the system does not display Qty. Completed. If set to YES, the system displays Qty. Completed and restricts internal repair receipts to completed repairs. No 
RTNDAYS
 14 Return days. This code indicates the number of days that parts can be returned to the store after the work order has been closed. Valid values are any non-negative numbers. Note that this parameter may interfere with closed periods data. Changing the value will not affect existing data. No

WOCLPOUT
 NO This code indicates whether a work order can be closed if purchase requisitions and purchase orders are still outstanding. If set to YES, work orders with outstanding requisitions and purchase orders may be closed.
Note: This parameter may affect purchase order generation if you allow work orders to be closed for which there are existing open requisitions.
No 
WOQUAL
 ON Qualification enforcement for work. Valid values are ON and OFF. When scheduling work, if the value is ON, Infor EAM determines whether an employee is eligible to perform work by comparing the qualifications associated with a work order activity with the qualifications associated with employees on the Employees form. Infor EAM enables you to assign any employee with the necessary qualifications/training to perform the work.

When scheduling work, if the value is OFF, Infor EAM does not check qualifications for work scheduling, and any authorized users can perform work regardless of any qualifications associated with work order activities.

No 
WORKDAY
 8 Work day hours. This code indicates the default number of hours in a working day. Infor EAM uses this value on the Activities tab of the Work Orders form to calculate the required number of people when an estimated number of hours and the duration is specified.
