Information sources are a combination of facts and dimensions which are 
structured and holds information about a specific transaction table in IFS 
Applications. Currently there are 3 information sources based on IFS 
Maintenance. One or many of these information sources can be used when 
creating an IFS Business Analytics report.
An overview of each information source which is 
mainly based on IFS 
Maintenance, is given 
below:
General Description
Work Order Actuals Information Source is based on the postings for work 
	that has been performed on work orders. This 
information source carries transactions for time reporting, material issues, 
	tools usages, expenses like travel expenses and external cost from 
	purchasing. Revenue figures from work order driven work is also part of this 
	Information Source.
Reports/Analysis
Following are some report examples that might be created based on this Information Source:
	- Division of maintenance costs on corrective maintenance and preventive 
	maintenance respectively
- Calculation of cost and revenues on service contracts
- Division of maintenance costs between internal maintenance organizations 
	and external costs per supplier
- Maintenance costs and revenues per customer
- Work Order costs and revenues per program, project, subproject and/or 
	project activity

General Description
Work Order Information Source is based on work orders. This information 
	source carries work orders in all statuses, i.e both active and historical 
	work orders as well as work requests and fault reports.
Reports/Analysis
	
		- Follow up on the count of work orders based on different dimensions, 
		for instance status, maintenance organization and time period
- Execution time on work orders
- Waiting time before work actually started
- How many work orders originated as fault reports
- Comparison between actual start dates/actual finish dates versus 
		other dates on the work order
Access Types
	
		- DataMart
- Online
Specific Attributes
	- Work Order Count
 Counter used to count work orders.
 This is always set to 1 (one).
- Elapsed Execution Time
 The difference between Actual 
		Finish Date and Actual Start Date, expressed in hours.
 The work time calendar associated with the 
		maintenance organization on the work order is used to get working hours, 
		i.e this measure counts real working hours, not calendar time.

		order was registered as a Fault Report or Work Request, otherwise it is 
		set to 0 (zero).

		that are faults to get a fault ratio.

		to be finished on time (based on planned execution time).
