Defining when work orders are generated

You can specify on which days of the week a PM is active. Work orders are generated from PMs only on the specified active days.

About this task

An extended date on the PM overrides seasonal dates. If the extended date on a PM changes the due date to one that is outside the active season, you can generate work orders from that PM.

If the PM is associated with a master PM, updates to the master PM record overwrite changes you make to the seasonal dates on the associated PM when you update existing PMs. To prevent updates by the master PM, select the Override Updates from Master PM check box on the PM tab.

Procedure

  1. In the Preventive Maintenance application, select the PM record you want to define active days for.
  2. On the Seasonal Dates tab, in the Active Days section, select the check boxes for each day that you want the PM to generate work orders. To keep the PM from generating work orders on a certain day, clear the check box for that day.
  3. Click Save PM.
