Perform Due Calculation for Interval Maintenance Events
Explanation
This activity is used to perform the due calculation for the interval maintenance
of a given serial. The calculation will be done for the serial, based on the
registered average operational value per month and the defined maintenance plan. In
addition, the due calculation will create a maintenance event when it has reached
the days of the forewarning period. The due calculation for a serial will only
be done for a maintenance plan connected to an active maintenance program. Therefore,
a maintenance program that has an Active status must be connected to the serial
before the due calculation can take place. For a calendar based maintenance
plan, where no average operational values exist for the primary operational
based parameter, there will under certain circumstances only be calculated one
record for recurring items.
Apart from manually performing the due calculation for a serial (as described
in this activity), scheduled tasks exist to automatically calculate due dates
for all interval based maintenance. The Parallel Due Calculation for Interval
Maintenance scheduled task will be used to calculate the due date for maintenance
events. For more information on the scheduled tasks, refer the online help file
Adjust
and Verify Background Job for Due Calculations for Interval Based Maintenance.
To run the due calculation for the interval maintenance of a serial:
- Search for the serial for which you will run the due calculation from
the Serial Maintenance
page and then click Perform Due Calculation to open the
Perform Due Calculation
dialog.
- Enable the Interval Maintenance option to calculate interval
maintenance events. If you want to perform due calculation for all serials
in the serial structure, enable the Calculate Entire Structure option
and to perform the due calculation as a background job, enable the Run
in Background option.
- When the due calculation is finished, you can view the calculated interval
maintenance due dates in the
Interval Maintenance tab and view the information on the maintenance
program for the calculated interval maintenance in the
Next
Interval Maintenance in Structure tab in the
Serial Maintenance
page.
Note: Perform Due Calculation option can be selected from the
Serial Initializaion page also.
Prerequisites
- An active maintenance program with a defined maintenance plan must exist.
- An average operational value (per month) for the serial must exist.
- The serial available for due calculation, cannot have an operational
status of Planned for Operation and cannot be a locked serial.
- The interval maintenance events that are in a planning state (i.e.,
in the Planned in Scope, Incomplete or Under Preparation
status) must be connected to a maintenance order that is not yet released.
System Effects
- Interval maintenance due dates are calculated for the serial.
- If the calculated due date is within the defined number of days forewarning
in the maintenance plan, a pending event is created.
- The due calculation for interval maintenance events will handle events
that are included on maintenance orders not yet released.
