Connect Task Cards to Maintenance Events
Explanation
This activity is used to connect task cards to the events on a maintenance order. This is done when there exists
an event without any predefined task cards. It can also be done when you want to connect additional task cards to
an event.
When a maintenance order is set to the Under Preparation status, predefined active task cards (task cards
and subtasks) will be connected to all assigned events, and the events will be set to the Under Preparation
status. However, if predefined task cards do not exist for one or more events, the event will be set to the
Incomplete status instead. At such instances you need to manually connect task cards to these events before
the events can be set to the Under Preparation or Released status.
All connected events must be in the Under Preparation status before the maintenance order can be
released.
To connect a task card to the event on a maintenance order, create a new record in the Task Cards
tab in the Manage Maintenance Event page.
Prerequisites
- Task cards must exist for the part revision of the serial defined on the event(s) without task cards.
- The event to which the task card is to be connected cannot be in either the Work Done or
Finished status.
- 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 the Resource Details page.
System Effects
- Task cards and subtasks will be added to the maintenance event along with the connected 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 demands have been released on the maintenance order, resource activities will be generated for the
resources on the task card. If material demands exist on the task card, these demands will be released.
- If task cards are added to a fault event on a maintenance order, the task cards will be added automatically
to the task card list of the fault.
If the distribution type defined on the maintenance order is Execution Logic Structure,
- and the task card is added to an event in the Under Preparation, Released or Started
status, this task card and connected subtasks will be mapped automatically into the correct execution logic
orders (ELOs) in the execution logic structure for the maintenance order. If the task card does not fit any of
the defined ELOs, it will be moved into the Ungrouped Task Cards node.
- If multiple resources are defined on the task card or subtask, and sorting is done on resources, the task
card or subtask will be coped to each ELO node corresponding to the resource on the task card.
- and the task card is added to an event that is in either the Released or Started status, the
task card will also be mapped to the correct ELO work order in IFS/Work Order Management.
