Sort Field for the Maintenance Plan 

Use

You can define your own criteria for selecting maintenance plans using the sort field for maintenance plans. You can use the sort field to make a selection in the list editing function for maintenance plans, the scheduling overview in list form and deadline monitoring.

In plant 0001, there is one business unit called "Electrics" and another called "Mechanics". You want to schedule the maintenance plans for these business units separately.

Maintain the sort fields "0001 Mechanics" and "0001 Electrics" in Customizing and assign the fields to the maintenance plans of the corresponding business units.

In deadline monitoring, this means that you can use these sort fields for precise scheduling.
