Connect Task Cards to Maintenance Events
Explanation
This activity is used to connect task cards to the events on a maintenance
order. This is done when there exists an event without any predefined task cards.
It can also be done when you want to connect additional task cards to an event.
When a maintenance order is set to the Under Preparation status, predefined
active task cards (task cards and subtasks) will be connected to all assigned
events, and the events will be set to the Under Preparation status. However,
if predefined task cards do not exist for one or more events, the event will
be set to the Incomplete status instead. At such instances you need to
manually connect task cards to these events before the events can be set to
the Under Preparation or Released status.
All connected events must be in the Under Preparation status before
the maintenance order can be released.
To connect a task card to the event on a maintenance order, create a new
record in the Task Cards tab in the Manage Maintenance
Event page.
Prerequisites
- Task cards must exist for the part revision of the serial defined on
the event(s) without task cards.
- The event to which the task card is to be connected cannot be in either
the Work Done or Finished status.
- 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 the
Resource Details page.
System Effects
- Task cards and subtasks will be added to the maintenance event along
with the connected 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 demands have been released on the maintenance order, resource activities
will be generated for the resources on the task card. If material demands
exist on the task card, these demands will be released.
- If task cards are added to a fault event on a maintenance order, the
task cards will be added automatically to the task card list of the fault.
If the distribution type defined on the maintenance order is Execution
Logic Structure,
- and the task card is added to an event in the Under Preparation,
Released or Started status, this task card and connected subtasks
will be mapped automatically into the correct execution logic orders (ELOs)
in the execution logic structure for the maintenance order. If the task
card does not fit any of the defined ELOs, it will be moved into the Ungrouped
Task Cards node.
- If multiple resources are defined on the task card or subtask, and sorting
is done on resources, the task card or subtask will be coped to each ELO
node corresponding to the resource on the task card.
- and the task card is added to an event that is in either the Released
or Started status, the task card will also be mapped to the correct
ELO work order in IFS/Work Order Management.
