Elimination percentage is used to eliminate maintenance plan lines that are planned to fall due at approximately the same period in time when several PM triggering mechanisms are used, such as a calendar trigger and a condition based trigger. For example, if the PM falls due based on a condition based trigger today, it is not necessary to generate a work order for a calendar that falls due tomorrow. In other words, the percentage denotes at which maintenance yield a maintenance plan line should be eliminated when another PM trigger will fall due first. Elimination percentage can have a value between 50 and 100. Lower elimination percentage means there is more chance of elimination of the maintenance lines with close planned dates. On the other hand higher elimination value means low chance of elimination of maintenance lines. Irrespective of the calculated elimination value of the maintenance line/s, latter maintenance line/s are eliminated if falling on the same planned date.
At least two different maintenance plans generated from two different conditions or calendar and condition should be there.
As a result of this activity maintenance lines having an elimination value higher than the one defined in General tab, Elimination At(%) field will be eliminated.
