Adding lead time to top-level preventive maintenance records

Add lead time to a top-level preventive maintenance (PM) record to allow advance time for gathering tools and materials.

Procedure

  1. In the Preventive Maintenance application, select the appropriate top-level PM record.
    Attention: Add lead time only to top-level PMs.
  2. On the PM tab, select the Lead Time Active check box.
  3. In the Lead Time (Days) field, specify a time value (in days).
  4. Select the Generate Work Orders action. When you use the Generate Work Order action on a PM in a hierarchy, all PMs in the hierarchy are evaluated. If any PM meets frequency criteria because lead time was applied, it triggers generation of work orders from the entire hierarchy.
  5. Click OK to generate the work orders.
