Specify Maintenance Import Interval
Explanation
Use this activity to schedule the importation of work orders from IFS/Maintenance.
These work orders are considered as resource breaks within Constraint Based
Scheduling (CBS). Neither maintenance break dates and times nor break times
can be modified.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites:
- IFS/Maintenance must be installed.
- Advanced Planning Board (APB) site must be defined and enabled
in the Scheduling Basic Data page.
The work orders that will be imported as resource breaks has to fulfill the
following constraints:
- The work order site should be the same site where the import is done
for.
- The work order should be connected to a object which represents a work
center resource or a tool instance.
- The operational status on the work order should be Obstructive.
- Planned finish date on the work order has to be defined and should be
before the end of the scheduling horizon
- Planned start date on the work order has to be defined and should be
after the start of the scheduling horizon.
- The work order status should be Under Preparation, Prepared,
Released or Started.
- The execution time needs to be defined on the work order.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The system deletes corresponding resource breaks for any closed or canceled
work orders when importing.
- The imported work orders are compared against the corresponding resource
breaks. Any updated work orders will update the corresponding resource breaks
and the new work orders will create new resource breaks.
