Set Maintenance Event to Under Preparation
Explanation
This activity is used to set a maintenance event to the Under Preparation status.
Maintenance events with predefined task cards are automatically set to under preparation when the maintenance
order to which it is connected is set to Under Preparation. All task cards connected to the event code will
be retrieved to the event along with connected subtasks, resources, material, and sign off requirements. If
predefined task cards do not exist for the event, it will be set to the Incomplete status instead. Once the
required task cards are connected to the event, this activity can be performed to manually set the event to the
Under Preparation status.
When a non routine event, that is connected to a heavy maintenance contract, is set to the Under
Preparation status, the system will calculate the planned resource and material demands to check if these
values are above the agreed on cap values in the contract. If the cap values are exceeded, commercial approval is
required before the event can be released.
Maintenance event can be set to Under Preparation status from the Manage Maintenance
Event page.
Prerequisites
- An event in the Incomplete status with connected task cards must exist on the maintenance order.
- Resources on the connected task cards and subtasks must be valid for the site at which the maintenance is to
be done (i.e., site of the workshop on the maintenance order).
System Effects
- The event is set to the Under Preparation status. When all events on a maintenance order are in the
Under Preparation status, the maintenance order can be released.
- If demands have been released (the Demands Released option is enabled) and the maintenance order is in
the Under Preparation status, resource and material demands on the event will be released.
- If the maintenance order is in the Under Preparation status, an aggregated view of the resource
demands on the event can be viewed.
- The Commercial Approval Needed option will be enabled if the non routine event, that is
connected to a heavy maintenance contract, has planned resource and material demands that exceed the cap values
in the contract.
- If the planned resource and material demands of the non routine event, that is connected to a heavy
maintenance contract does not exceed the cap values defined in the contract, NR Approved Status
will be set to Approved.
If the maintenance order has the Execution Logic Structure distribution type:
- The task cards and subtasks connected to the events will be mapped into correct execution logic orders (ELOs)
in the execution logic structure (ELS) that is defined on the maintenance order.
- The grouping and ELO nodes in the ELS will be sorted in the same order as set up on the ELS template.
- The task cards and subtasks which do not fit into any of the defined ELOs will be mapped into the Ungrouped
Task Cards node.
