Formula Average Cost of an Item | IBM Maximo

(Old Balance * Old Average Cost) + (Receipt Qty * Receipt Cost) /
(Old Balance + Receipt Qty)

for example:

Old Balance: 0
Old Average Cost: $1000.00
Receipt Qty(one new item purchased): 1
Receipt Cost: $4000.00

This document helps you define your locations in Maximo.

Defining Locations in Maximo

Configuring Multiple "Go To Application" Options with Lookup | IBM Maximo

suppose in invoice application, there is a PO field from where we can jump back to PO by clicking on "Go to >> Purhcase Order "

Today we are going to set multiple application in this "Go to" ;

A simple tip is here to do that, we just need to append the property of desired field in application designer named "Go to Application".

for example, Open Invoice application in application designer

right click to open properties of PO field
there is already entered a value (PO) in "Go to Application" property.
we just need to append another after PO like this (PO,RECEIPT)

note: don't type a space after comma;

and we are done :)

Save Record When User Moves from One Tab to Another | IBM Maximo

for example in Workorder Tracking Application, when user moves to PLAN tab, record should save.

Export presentation XML file from application designer,

filter workorder tracking application,

note: make a copy (backup)

open XML in notepad

find 'tab' element i.e. <tab id="plans"

add tabchangeevent="save" property in tab element

it will look after adding

<tab id="plans" label="Plans" tabchangeevent="save">
