Adding new fields to reports
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I never found a way. When I contacted MP2 many many years ago their only solution was to send a quote for customization. Good luck, please do share if you find out how. [ more ]
Registered Member Thanks for the reply. just to make sure i am understanding this correctly. You are saying that there is no way to add new fields to a report like {Reports > Work Orders > Simple} without purchasing customization? [ more ]
Registered Member Reports like the WO print out can be updated from the back-end using an older version of Crystal Reports. The list reports are hard coded into the application and can't be changed without purchasing a customization from the company that owns MP2. [ more ]

MP2 PRINTING ISSUES
RM Registered Member
Registered Member MP2 printing is the fastest, most reliable, and most quality printing format you can get. Simply put, if a printer doesn't accept MP2 files, it's not a good printing company. However, there are some ways of getting around a bad printing job. The first is to inquire about the file's format and to use an MP2. The second is to do a re-print from the original file. The third way is to use a different printing company. If you have any confusion, visit here . [ more ]
Registered Member Are you running this via a Sever side client? MP2 picks the default printer in the windows settings of the machine, so when running client install on desktop, not really an issue, but when running in Citrix this can happen. You need to set up the printers in the Citrix server for the users. Cheers Kiddle [ more ]
Registered Member I guess you have to assign default printer in MP2. [ more ]

MP2 certification
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Datastream at one time gave MP2 versions 5 and 6 certification tests. I am being told by their reps that they no longer do. Does anyone know of any other place that does give certification tests. My situation at work is that 12 maintenance personnel are being rolled into production areas as operators due to maint. cuts. I have maintained the MP2 6.0 for 2 years and never had a reason to be certified. Senority situation. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Albert Anietie [ more ]

MP2 2000 display issue
RM Registered Member
Registered Member This is an issue with older versions of MP2. Try closing all other MP2 windows. It sounds like your associate is adding Work completion / progress data, try using the Quick Work order update module. Here you enter the Work Order number, rather than scrolling up and down searching. You can enter labor, parts and comments on this screen. A low cost barcode scanner will eliminate the need to enter the WO No. Alternatively in the Work order module use MP2's search function to find the work order... [ more ]

REASON FOR FAILURE CODES
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I thought the reason for failure codes is to report and collect data to enable failure analysis. [ more ]
Registered Member I don't think it is necessary to split them if the CMMS can allow updating them once entered before closure of WO or if they are to be entered after Work completion at site i.e. during technical completion in CMMS. Duplicate work order can be avoided by using the same and right tag no. [ more ]

Help with Mp2 parts receiving!
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I have updated this solution. You can now print receive labels from MP2 with as few as 2 mouse clicks. No new software is required. If you require bar codes, ask your IT department to install bar code fonts on your MP2 PC. regards, Donal Fleming. flemingtechnical.com 678-777-9015 df@flemingtechnical.com [ more ]
Registered Member I recently developed a solution for this problem. The client requires one label for every part except for large quantities, like the o-rings you mentioned. This solution requires Crystal Reports. After receiving the items, the user switches over to Crystal Reports and prints labels for all items received “recently”, normally in the previous minute. This interval can be changed, in case the user has been interrupted. There is an option to set the maximum number of labels to be printed. You... [ more ]
Registered Member When I receive parts, MP2 automatically fills in the quantity and number of labels. There are times you have to change the quantities, but all the part numbers are there. See attached. There may be something in your purchasing set up that needs to be changed. As for the labels, go into reports, inventory, item labels. Open the receiver labels, and you can modify and change settings there. Hope this helps. [ more ]

Load Sample Database
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Ok, now I see how the problems came. So have to delete the sample data one by one? [ more ]
Registered Member Older version of MP2 used to include a separate training environment. The newer versions on MP2 (SQL) do not include a separate training environment. The training data is appended to your live data with no batch removal tool included. [ more ]
Registered Member isn't there a training region where you can do whatever you want without affecting the actual database? To delete the sample database, ca you not select a number of them and then click delete but can still be seen in there? Or do you really need to delete one by one? [ more ]

Registered Member Documenting a bearing replacement as part of a PM makes it difficult to track. MP2 does not have a way of automatically referring to a previous work order. A suggestion: Issue a separate work order to inspect the bearing and replace, if necessary. The Scheduled start date can be one month in the future. Set the WO status to Hold. When the scheduled Start date is reached, if the bearing does not warrant replacement, the work order can be updated and rescheduled. Work around methods to achieve... [ more ]

can't receive items
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Just in case someone else happens upon this issue. Looks like when I archived the records it started the autonumber counter over again(dunno why) And when I archived the previous records, they weren't deleted like they should have been. The 158 error meant that I would have broken the autonumber rules on the issrec table. Went in, took out the old records, and it's working fine again. [ more ]
Registered Member that's what I was worried about. I appreciate your help! [ more ]
Registered Member Did you perform a backup? It sounds like the process of archiving has left the database corrupted. The easiest solution for you would be to just restore the database to before you performed the archive. You could always try using the restore option if you didn't take a backup and restore all of the old archived data then see if it works. [ more ]

To purchase Crystal Reports go to SAP Americas website: http://store.businessobjects.c...&productID=100546100 (note: this link will bring you to SAP's website, I am not connected... [ more ]
Registered Member Donal, Thanks for confirming that you would need to use another program with training to print barcodes without the module in MP2. I also agree that a USB barcode scanner is a much cheaper option if you don't want to go mobile with your barcode solution. I have used these before. http://www.waspbarcode.com/scanners/ [ more ]
Registered Member Jonantan, There are several methods of printing labels: Crystal Reports is preferred. Other ways include Microsoft Access. Excel, Word's Mail Merge are slower, more cumbersome alternatives. The pre-programmed scanner interfaces directly with MP2. Simple plug the scanner into a spare USB port, open MP2 and start scanning. The total cost is comparable with the annual, recurring costs for Infor's solution. Performance is perhaps faster. Regards, Donal df@flemingtechnical.com ... [ more ]

Problem with Thrust ball bearing....
RM Registered Member
Registered Member It would be unwise to assume that all thrust bearings have a contact angle of 90-degrees. I did work on a small hydro turbine thrust bearing, and the Demod spectrum showed harmonics of 0.5xSS. Subsequent repairs confirmed my bearing fault diagnosis. There are many situations where different faults can have the same vibration frequencies. One must be able to analyze all data to identify the correct or most likely fault. Walt [ more ]
Registered Member In typical bearing, the cage travels at a speed of FTF with respect to the outer ring, and (1-FTF) with respect to the outer ring. I never stopped to think about it, but it makes sense that FTF = 0.5 order for all 90 degree contact thrust bearings.....because the pitch diameter of both races is the same, so ball must travel the same speed relative to each race.... the only way to do this is if they travel one half revolution (with respect to stationary outer race) per shaft revolution, which... [ more ]
Registered Member Walt is correct. You should post this in the regular vibration forum. http://maintenanceforums.com/e...s/a/frm/f/3751089011 Usually, detection of being faults are not always dependent upon the fundamental, but more on harmonics (even if equal multiplies of running speed) and floor noise around the harmonics. Bearing defects are basically easy to reconize, especially after an analyst develops a pattern reconization skill of analysis. If you think you have a bearing "fault", post the data for... [ more ]
