SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Operating Infor EAM (HxGN EAM, ex-Datastream) without deep platform knowledge leads to costly mistakes: releasing a work order silently reserves parts and raises requisitions, closing one locks actuals permanently, and a wrong part issue posts real financial variances. This Skill gives an AI agent the operator judgment to classify every action as read, write, committing, or destructive before touching the system. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Action classification matrix: Maps every Infor EAM operation family (WO release, part issue, meter reading, PO receipt, balance adjustment) to a read/write/committing/destructive gate with human-approval rules. - State and object model expertise: Covers the four-level equipment hierarchy (Location > System > Position > Asset), WO system statuses (Unfinished, Released, Completed, Closed), fixed vs floating PM schedules, routes, and store balances (on-hand vs reserved vs available). - Failure and recovery playbooks: Documents 29 causal gotchas, edge states like meter rollover and closed financial periods, and recovery patterns for stranded actuals or forced closes. - Use Case: When asked to close a work order, the agent first re-reads the WO status and reservations, confirms all actuals are booked, and stops for named human approval before historizing the record. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to walk you through releasing a work order in Infor EAM and what reservations and requisitions that release will trigger.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely release a work order in Infor EAM?

Releasing a work order moves it to a Released system status, which reserves planned stock parts against store balances and can auto-raise requisitions for non-stock parts. Verify the WO's routing and available balances first, and treat release as a committing action requiring human confirmation.

What is the difference between Completed and Closed work order status in Infor EAM?

Completed means the physical work is done but the WO stays open for late labour, parts, and cost. Closed historizes the record, freezes actuals, rolls cost up the equipment hierarchy, and blocks all further transactions, so never close until every actual is booked.

Infor EAM vs IBM Maximo vs SAP PM for maintenance management?

Infor EAM uses a four-level hierarchy (Location, System, Position, Asset) with user status codes mapped to system statuses. Maximo uses WAPPR/APPR/COMP/CLOSE statuses and job plans, while SAP PM uses order types and functional locations. This Skill covers only Infor EAM and defers the others to their own skills.

Why does available balance differ from on-hand in Infor EAM stores?

Available equals on-hand minus reserved. Other work orders reserve parts at release, so on-hand overstates what is free. Always read the available balance, and re-read it immediately before issuing because concurrent issues, receipts, and counts shift it.

Can a closed work order be reopened in Infor EAM?

Reopening a closed WO is not a standard status transition. Some deployments configure a re-open path, but if unavailable the only recovery is a new corrective WO that re-books the stranded cost. Historized actuals remain in the record either way.

When should I not use this Infor EAM skill?

Do not use it for SAP Plant Maintenance, IBM Maximo, Infor ERP finance and valuation in M3/LN/SyteLine, SAP MM inventory valuation, or warehouse execution systems. Those platforms have different object and status models covered by their own dedicated skills.
