Enter Parameters for Calendar Generation

Explanation

Use this activity to enter parameters required to control the PM actions for which you want to generate work orders. To generate work orders based on a calendar, you need to enter the site, week, and maintenance organization. All preventive maintenance actions, which have been defined for calendar-based generation, will generate work orders for the chosen week and maintenance organization.  In order to generate for all maintenance organizations, do not enter any maintenance organization in the respective field. Optionally, you can select connection types Equipment, Linear Asset or Tool/Equipment  to generate work orders for the one of these object types. If connection type field left blank, WO is generated on the all preventive maintenance records if it fulfills the other criteria.

The calendar generation will be run as a background job. It is also possible to split the background job into multiple jobs to minimise the number of PM actions included in a single execution. For a better execution time, a user with administrative rights can enable the parallel execution of the multiple background jobs.

The Without PM Group/Merge checkbox will allow the user to generate work orders only for PM Actions that do not include a PM Group ID/Merge, for the period specified by the user.

When generating work orders for a specific linear asset by using selection parameters, you have to enter the revision number along with the object ID for the linear asset. For example: LinAssID:1 (or LinAssID:% to get work orders for all revisions of the linear asset).

Prerequisites

System Effects

As a result of this activity, all PM actions defined for calendar-based generation, will automatically generate work orders for the chosen week, site, maintenance organization and the connection type. The generation is done as a background job. All the generated work orders will be available for further preparations along with other regular work orders.

If Splitting Parameters are selected, there will be several background jobs created, based on the selected parameter or combination of parameters accordingly. Note: The WO Site, Maint. Org, Object ID checkboxes will be enabled only when the Without PM Group/Merge checkbox is selected (i.e.: when no PM Group/Merge applicable) or the corresponding fields under Selection Parameters are null or equal to "%". Moreover, PM Replacements may not be handled via this process

If entering Interval(Days) to divide the time period applicable for Calendar Generation, by a specified number of days.

 The WO Site, Maint. Org, Object ID checkboxes will be enabled only when the Without PM Group/Merge checkbox is selected (i.e.: when no PM Group/Merge applicable) or the corresponding fields under Selection Parameters are null or equal to "%". Moreover, PM Replacements may not be handled via this process.
