Entering Dates in Sub-Operations 

Use

You can specify in a sub-operation when you want it to start or end in relation to the relevant operation. To do this, use the start/end reference date together with the start/end offset. The system uses these specifications to calculate the start or end date for the sub-operation.

The time references have no influence on the duration of a sub-operation. The actual duration of a sub-operation is specified in the detail data of the sub-operation. It is not used for scheduling an operation. Only the duration specified in the operation is used for scheduling.

Procedure

  1. Call up the maintenance task list in the create or change mode, and choose Goto ® Operation overview.
  2. Select the sub-operation or sub-operations for which you want to enter the start and end dates.
  3. Use the menu bar sequence Operation ® Sub-operation deadline.

    4. You are now on the Sub-Operation - Usage dates screen.

  4. Enter the necessary data.

    5. Note that you must enter a positive offset for the start of a sub-operation (start of the operation plus n units of time) and a negative offset for the end of the sub-operation (end of the operation minus n units of time).

  5. Save the deadlines.
