Preventive maintenance work alerts

To help reduce the downtime of an asset, you can use PM Alerts to be notified of pending preventive maintenance work that is due near the time that an asset is being repaired or a work order (a change, release, activity, or work order) is generated against a location. With the help of PM Alerts, you can save time and money by performing upcoming routine maintenance while performing non-routine repairs.

The following conditions apply to using the PM Alert feature:

For the PM Alert message to display, the preventive maintenance record must have its Alert check box selected and the site listed on the record must be set up to display alerts.

When a corrective maintenance work order reaches the status that is specified in PM Options in the Organizations application, and an active PM exists for the asset and/or location on the work order, the system displays the PM Alert dialog boxhah when either of the following criteria is met:

The PM Alert dialog box displays the alerts for PMs that are due soon for the asset or location, the descriptions of the PMs, the Estimated Next PM Date, and a check box indicating whether the PM is part of a hierarchy. If the PM is part of a hierarchy, the system checks the other PMs in the hierarchy to see if any of those PMs also are due soon.

To generate a work order from the PM Alert dialog box, click the Generate Work Order check box. The system generates a work order for each PM.
