Add Convenience Tasks to Maintenance Order
Explanation
This activity is used to add convenience tasks to a maintenance order. All
convenience tasks defined for the serial structure associated with the maintenance
order is valid for distribution. For more information on defining convenience
tasks, refer to the activity
Define a Convenience
Task.
Note that convenience tasks are added and executed in the same manner as
maintenance events.
You can add convenience tasks to a maintenance order from the
New Maintenance Order assistant while creating a maintenance
order or by selecting the Assign Events option from Manage Maintenance
Order page.
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
convenience task until this event is released.
This can be done in the following places:
-
When assigning the convenience
task in the New Maintenance Order assistant.
-
When assigning the convenience task to an already
created maintenance order.
-
In the Manage Maintenance Order/Included
Events tab.
-
In the Manage Maintenance Event
page.
Prerequisites
- A maintenance order must exist. The maintenance order must not be in
the Work Done or Finished status.
- One or more convenience tasks must be defined for the part structure
and maintenance program currently associated with the serial defined on
this maintenance order.
- If you are adding a convenience task 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
- Convenience tasks will be assigned to the maintenance order.
- If defined, a heavy maintenance contract, contract group, and contract
line will be connected to the convenience task.
- If the maintenance order is in the Under Preparation status,
and demands have been released, resource activities will be generated for
the resources included on the convenience task.
- If convenience tasks 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,
refer the activity
View Material Demands.
- If the distribution type defined on the maintenance order is Execution
Logic Structure, the task cards that are connected to the event will
be mapped into the correct execution logic orders (ELOs) on the maintenance
order. In addition, the task cards will be mapped into corresponding ELO
work orders in IFS/Work Order Management.
