Describe the Maximo Application Suite

Section 10%~2 questionsKnowledge

📋 IBM Objectives

  • Describe deployment options for MAS
  • Discuss high level features: Manage, Monitor, Predict, MVI / MVI Edge, Assist, Health
  • Health: Scoring, Scoring Groups, Contributors, Ranges, generate WO/SR
  • Discuss the role of MAS Core UI app

💡 Key Points

  • Manage = EAM core (WO, PM, Inventory)
  • Monitor = real-time IoT data
  • Predict = forecast degradation / failure (historical + real-time)
  • MVI = visual inspection (images/videos) · MVI Edge = local camera
  • Assist = conversational AI
  • Health = health score + criticality, 3 bricks Scoring Groups + Contributors + Ranges, generates WOs and SRs
  • MAS Core UI = unified navigation, app switcher, SSO across apps
  • Deployment: OpenShift on-prem, IBM Cloud, AWS ROSA, Azure ARO, SaaS

⚠️ IBM Trap

Predict vs Health vs Monitor — all three sound similar. The differentiator:

  • "forecast" / "correlate performance factors" → Predict
  • "score + criticality" → Health
  • "real-time IoT data" → Monitor

🎯 Flashcard

Q. Which MAS product leverages historical and real-time data to forecast asset degradation or failure?

Section 10%~2 questions

📋 IBM Objectives

  • Identify various methods MAS provides to control authentication

Configure Chart of Accounts

Section 5%~1 question

📋 IBM Objectives

  • Configure Organization-specific GL Component Structure

💡 Key Points

  • Configured per Organization (GL Component Structure)
  • Up to 20 components in the structure
  • GL codes: deactivated (never deleted) if already used
  • Requirements: all components valid, delimiter defined, format respected

⚠️ IBM Trap

GL codes used in history cannot be deleted, only deactivated — otherwise financial reports break.

Configure Budget Monitoring & Cost Management

Section 5%~1 question

📋 IBM Objectives

  • Describe the Budget Monitoring application
  • Identify where budget amounts are specified and compared to actuals
  • Describe how focal points are defined

💡 Key Points

  • Budget Monitoring app: budgets defined per Organization
  • Compared to actuals (real costs from WOs, PRs, POs)
  • Focal Point = GL segment at which the budget is tracked
  • Cost Management app is designed to interface with Oracle Projects ⭐

Configure Asset Depreciation Schedules

Section 5%~1 question

📋 IBM Objectives

  • Identify where depreciation can be configured for Assets
  • Describe how depreciation schedules are configured

💡 Key Points

  • Configured in the Assets app (action Manage Depreciation Schedule)
  • Schedule types: straight-line, declining balance, custom
  • An asset can have multiple parallel schedules (e.g. IFRS + US GAAP)

🏢 Real-World Case

Listed company · IFRS + GAAPListed sites apply linear (IFRS reporting) + declining balance (US GAAP tax) in parallel on same capitalized assets via two depreciation schedules.
Scenario 1
Context
A utility (Enel X style) buys a transformer for €450,000, 20-year accounting life, €30,000 salvage value. Method: straight-line.
Problem: Where and how do you create the Depreciation Schedule in Maximo?
Show solution
Solution

In the Assets application, select the asset → Action Depreciation Schedules. Create a schedule with Method = Straight Line, Purchase Cost = 450,000, Salvage Value = 30,000, Useful Life = 240 months. Maximo computes monthly depreciation: (450,000 − 30,000) / 240 = €1,750/month.

Why

Depreciation Schedules live in the Assets app (not Chart of Accounts, not a separate financial module). Supported methods: Straight Line and Declining Balance. Result can be exported to the finance ERP.

Trap: "Create in Organizations app" is FALSE — it is per-asset in Assets. "Double Declining Balance" as a native 3rd method is not standard out-of-the-box.

📋 IBM Objectives

  • Define when multiple organizations are required in a MAS Manage database
  • Identify the required fields on an Organization record
  • Describe the purpose of Sets
  • Identify the data requirement for saving vs activating an organization

💡 Key Points

  • Multi-Org when: different currencies, distinct financial/purchasing rules, separate item sets
  • Required Org fields: name, base currency, item set, company set, default site
  • Sets (Item Set, Company Set) = shared references across Orgs
  • Save = base fields | Activate = at least 1 site with default storeroom

📋 IBM Objectives

  • Describe where application options are configured
  • Identify where autonumbering is set up
  • Identify Site-level Organization options
  • Identify where shipment requirements can be configured
  • Identify where reservations can be automatically created for approved WOs

💡 Key Points

  • Autonumbering → Organizations app (Action → Autonumber Setup) ⭐
  • Disable site = action "Make inactive" ⭐
  • Shipment requirements → Organizations → Purchasing Options
  • Auto-create reservations on approved WO → Organizations → Work Order Options → Reservation Requirements

🎯 Flashcard

  • 4 app permissions: READ, INSERT, SAVE, DELETE ⭐
  • 3 Object Data Restrictions: Qualified (WHERE), Conditional (expression), Hidden (invisible field) ⭐
  • Multi-site access = always via security group

⚠️ IBM Trap

  • Impact of enabling Admin Mode
  • Object levels: system, org, site, sysorgsite
  • E-Audit · E-Signature (synchronized user passwords as e-signature key)
  • Multi-language · search types · relationships · lookup maps

💡 Key Points — Admin Mode

REQUIRED for: Configure Database (structural change), E-Audit activation, adding persistent attributes.

NOT REQUIRED for: Relationships, Domains, Automation Scripts, Workflows.

💡 Key Points — Other

  • Object levels: SYSTEM, ORG, SITE, SYSORGSITE (most flexible)

Workflow Capabilities

Section 26%~2 questions

📋 IBM Objectives

  • Customize an existing Workflow Process · create new
  • Elements of workflow process · how managed
