Master preventive maintenance records (master PMs) are templates that you use for other PMs, called associated PMs. Master PMs can be shared across sites and organizations.
A master PM does not generate work orders like other PMs. Instead, it is used to generate associated PMs. Associated PMs are managed in the Preventive Maintenance application. You can create associated PM records from master PM records, or make associations between PM records and a master PM. You can use the scheduling information about a master PM record to update its associated PM records.
Master PMs can contain job plan information, as well as information about active seasons for associated PMs. When you create a master PM, you determine how associated PMs schedule work for the assets. You can create schedules based on the following conditions:
You can create flexible schedules for PMs by using lead times, seasonal and extended dates, and by triggering work outside of a PM frequency cycle.
