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.
