When a preventive maintenance (PM) record becomes due, a work order is generated. If a forecast exists for the preventive maintenance record, it is affected.
PM records that have a forecast in place use the following business logic when a work order is generated. In all cases, when a work order is generated, the forecasted date for that instance of the PM is deleted.
For meter-based PMs, generated work orders use the New Date if one is provided. If no New Date exists, PMs use standard work order generation business logic.
Some PMs are both time- and meter-based. When a work order is generated from a PM that is both time-based and meter-based, the rules for time-based PMs apply.
