Connect Maintenance Groups to Maintenance Program

Explanation

This activity is used to connect maintenance groups to a maintenance program. Maintenance groups are defined per serial part, where one serial part can have one or more maintenance groups depending on the use of the serial part. Maintenance groups can be connected to a maintenance program in following ways:

• Directly connect valid maintenance groups for a part in the Define Maintenance Program/Maintenance Groups tab.
• Copy all or only the preferred maintenance group to the maintenance program. In the Assign Parts tab, select the required part and then click on the Assign All Maintenance Groups option.

If access control is established, you must have access to the maintenance program before you can assign maintenance groups to the maintenance program. To establish access control, access groups must be defined in basic data, and the preferred users must be connected to the access group. All users that are members of an access group, will have access to the serials and maintenance programs defined for the selected access group. For more information on enabling access control for maintenance programs, refer the activity Enter or Modify an Access Group for a Maintenance Program.

Prerequisites

• The maintenance program must exist in the Preliminary status.
• Serial parts must have been assigned to the maintenance program.
• Maintenance groups must have been defined for the serial parts assigned to the maintenance program.

System Effects

• A maintenance plan can be defined for the serial part - maintenance group combination on the maintenance program.
• When the maintenance program is activated, serials with the listed part revisions and maintenance groups can start using the maintenance program.
