Add Events to Maintenance Order
Explanation
This activity is used to add events to a maintenance order. This is useful
during the planning stage of the visit, where the maintenance order is created
and the scope of the visit defined. During this stage, the maintenance order
can be updated, e.g., events added, as the needs and requirements of the maintenance
visit are firmed up and established.
At creation, the event is set to the New status. This status is used
to represent a pending event that is not yet planned to be executed. When the
event is added to a maintenance order, the status of the event will be changed
to Planned in Scope. The Planned in Scope status is used to indicate
that the event has been planned on the maintenance order, but a work order has
not yet been created.
Maintenance events can be added to the maintenance order:
- At creation of the maintenance order, i.e., in the New Maintenance
Order assistant.
- By clicking Assign Events in the
Manage Maintenance Order page. In the assistant that opens
pending events and convenience tasks can be added by selecting the record
for the required event and clicking Assign selected events.
If a heavy maintenance contract is connected to the maintenance
order and/or if the Heavy Maintenance Contract
contract type is selected on the maintenance order, a heavy maintenance
contract, contract group, and contract line can be connected to the assigned
events until the maintenance event is released.
This can be done in the following places:
-
When assigning the maintenance event in the
New Maintenance Order assistant.
-
When assigning the event to an already created maintenance
order.
-
In the Manage Maintenance Order/Included
Events tab.
-
In the Manage Maintenance Event
page.
Note: If you are working with manual maintenance events, it is also
possible to add the event to a maintenance order directly from the
Manual Maintenance Event page.
Prerequisites
- A maintenance order must exist. The maintenance order must not be in
the Work Done or Finished status.
- Pending maintenance events must exist for the serial defined on the
maintenance order or for its structure.
- If you are adding maintenance events 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
- Pending maintenance events will be assigned to the maintenance order.
The maintenance order can be set to the Under Preparation status.
- If defined, a heavy maintenance contract, contract
group, and contract line will be connected to the assigned event.
- If events are assigned to a maintenance order in the Under Preparation
status, and demands have been released on the maintenance order, resource
activities will be generated for the resources included on the assigned
events. For material demands, you can either peg or reserve required parts
when demands have been released.
- If events 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,
