Add Convenience Tasks to Maintenance Order
Explanation
This activity is used to add convenience tasks to a maintenance order. All
convenience tasks defined for the serial structure associated with the maintenance
order is valid for distribution. For more information on defining convenience
tasks, refer to the activity
Define a Convenience
Task.
Note that convenience tasks are added and executed in the same manner as
maintenance events.
You can add convenience tasks to a maintenance order from the
New Maintenance Order assistant while creating a maintenance
order or by selecting the Assign Events option from Manage Maintenance
Order page.
Prerequisites
- A maintenance order must exist. The maintenance order must not be in
the Work Done or Finished status.
- One or more convenience tasks must be defined for the part structure
and maintenance program currently associated with the serial defined on
this maintenance order.
- If you are adding a convenience task to a maintenance order that has
reached the Under Preparation status or higher, and predefined task
cards exists, the resources and material on the task card must be valid
at the maintenance order site. For resources, the site connection is set
in the Connections tab in
Resource Details page.
System Effects
- Convenience tasks will be assigned to the maintenance order.
- If the maintenance order is in the Under Preparation status,
and demands have been released, resource activities will be generated for
the resources included on the convenience task.
- If convenience tasks are assigned to a
maintenance order that is in the Under Preparation,
Released or Started status:
- Task cards predefined for the event
code will be retrieved automatically to the maintenance order along
with its resources and material. Ownership of the material will be
set based on predefined rules, i.e., based on the part provisioning
rules of the contract connected to the maintenance order or
defaulted as company owned stock. For more information on setting
ownership on material demands, refer the activity
View Material Demands.
- If the distribution type defined on the maintenance order is Execution
Logic Structure, the task cards that are connected to the event will
be mapped into the correct execution logic orders (ELOs) on the maintenance
order. In addition, the task cards will be mapped into corresponding ELO
work orders in IFS/Work Order Management.
