SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Operating IBM Maximo (MAS Manage or EAM 7.6) involves governed state machines where a single action like approving a work order hard-reserves parts, closing one locks financials, and issuing stock posts to a GL account. This Skill gives an AI agent the operator judgment to classify each action as read, write, committing, or destructive so consequential steps pause for human approval instead of causing irreversible cost or inventory errors. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Action risk classification: A read / write / committing / destructive matrix covering work orders, storeroom inventory, PM schedules, meters, and PR/PO/receipt/invoice flows. - Edge-state and recovery guidance: Handles rotating assets, meter rollovers, Master PM cascades, closed financial periods, and documents what can and cannot be undone (e.g., WO CLOSE has no normal reopen path). - Use Case: Before approving a batch of PM work orders, the agent checks that approval hard-reserves spare parts that an emergency breakdown WO might need, flags the conflict, and asks a human to confirm. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to review a planned Maximo work order approval and explain what state changes, reservations, and costs it will trigger before executing it.

Frequently Asked Questions about ibm-maximo

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What happens when you approve a work order in IBM Maximo?

Approving a work order (WAPPR to APPR) hard-reserves stocked material lines against storeroom balances, makes the WO schedulable, and can auto-generate PRs or POs for direct-issue lines. It is a committing action, not a rubber stamp.

How do I reverse an inventory issue in Maximo?

Reverse an issue with a return (RTN) transaction, which credits the work order and restores the storeroom balance under a reason code. Both transactions remain in history, and a physically consumed part cannot be returned.

Can a closed Maximo work order be reopened?

Reopening a closed work order is not a standard status transition. Some deployments configure a re-open path; otherwise the only correction is a new corrective work order, and the frozen actuals stay in history either way.

Why does Maximo available balance differ from current balance?

Available balance equals current balance minus hard reservations from approved work orders. Reading current balance overstates what is free to issue, so re-read available balance at issue time because other WOs can reserve stock in between.

When should this Maximo skill not be used?

Do not use it for SAP Plant Maintenance (use sap-pm), Infor EAM, ERP inventory valuation and GR/IR (sap-mm), or warehouse execution with bins and wave picking. Maximo storerooms are MRO stores, not distribution warehouses.
