Time and Cost Tracking Enhancements

Time and Cost Tracking EnhancementsProposed enhancements that would provide a more in-depth costing analysis of each work order.  Allowing for specific cost items or custom labelled cost items to be added would significantly improve this module, rather than just adding and/or exporting them as "Other Costs".Such as: Preliminary expenses (Architect, engineer, building consent, Insurance etc) Subcontractor cost/s Materials (Per material item) Consumables (nails, screws, adhesives) Tools & equipment (if hired or purchased) General expenses Labour Travel expenses  Transport/shipping expenses Rubbish or site wasteOther Proposed Enhancements: Having a budgeting section in the cost tracking module to allow proposed costs within a work order. Option to show or add Goods and Services Tax (GST) The ability to export the cost information as a CSV and PDF Future linking of cost data to Sage Intacct. Future linking of cost data to PowerBi. Cheers

Pulling Custom Labels via API

Hello, I am new to MaintainX and I have been trying to do some integration with our system as it has been quickly adopted by many of our end users. I have had success with the API calls offered. Specifically, I am using the List Work Orders pulling into PowerBI. However, our team has added some custom labels and custom fields. We use a custom Work Type label instead of the built-in Work Type selection. How do I pull in these custom fields?

Parts inventory metrics

Hi, Parts inventory does its basic function for sure but when it comes to metrics, triggers and data struggling here. Am I the only one who can’t find easy way to do stock check and pull useful metrics (easily) on parts usage/expenditure across plants? It is also problematic when it comes to consumables as no doubt parts have own lifespan and some quite short. On top we got actual consumables which usage deviates depending on machinery condition. So as example I need a report of a part or consumable over period time? Reporting module metrics seems more concentrating on asset and labour time/costs. There is nothing dedicated to inventory usage/costs/frequency? In current global supply chain climate inventory management becoming challenging task - parts usage and risk assessment of supply chain is trendy subject than ever. Stock checks - all we have is “restock” button? There is no way to have WO with fields for stock checks? Surely those who do inventory audits might want some record et

Cycle counts - parts vs. part type

Hi there. I have to say that when the feature of cycle counts was talked about at the end of last year, I was really excited.  We do cycle counts on a weekly basis for roughly 24-36 crucial parts in our inventory. When it was recently released as an operating feature within the software I jumped right on it. Unfortunately, it is in my opinion not realistically going to work for us without it being able to choose what parts specifically we will count. It has either a choice of location or type of part. Has anyone on here used it for actual part numbers and not part type? I would like to assign Tech “A” to count six parts which may be six different part types. The same with Tech “B”, and Tech “C”, etc. If we have a part type of O-ring, and thats assigned to a Tech “A”, that Tech would then be responsible of counting over 200 o-rings, when in reality, he only needs to count the 6 specific o-rings that are crucial to our operation. I could assign Tech “B” to count a part type of belts but
