Creating Configurable General Maintenance Task Lists

Prerequisites

You have created a class in the class system and assigned characteristics to it, for example, the class "Fork lift truck" with the characteristics "Engine type", "Construction year" and "Extras". For more information, see The Classification System.

Procedure

Choose Logistics ® Plant maintenance ® Planned maintenance ® Maintenance task lists ® Task lists ® General task lists ® Create.

The initial screen for creating general maintenance task lists is displayed.

For more information about creating general maintenance task lists, see Creating Maintenance Task Lists: Process.

Enter object dependencies for the individual operations.

To do this, select the operation to which you want to assign an object dependency in the screen Operation overview, and choose Extras ® Object dependencies ® Editor.

The dialog box appears.

Select the relationship type and choose Continue.

The screen for maintaining object dependencies is displayed.

Enter the source text for the object dependency.

$parent.engine type eq 'Electrical'

(The system should only select operations for the engine type "Electrical").

For more information on object dependencies, see Logistics (General) - Variant Configuration.

Save the general maintenance task list.

In the general maintenance task list , you cannot assign object dependencies directly to the free material components. An assignment of object dependencies to material components is only possible if you assign a material of the category Assembly to the general maintenance task list in the task list header, and you select the material components using component selection from the material BOM. The system copies the object dependency that is assigned to the components in the bill of material to the general maintenance task list. In this way, you are also able to control the configuration of the material components, and define that the system only selects components for particular characteristic values (for example, material "Air filter" for engine type "Diesel") when you create a maintenance or service order.

For more information on material components, see Assignment of Material Components.

Result

You have created a general maintenance task list and must now create a configuration profile.

You can assign the general maintenance task list to a maintenance or service order and then select suitable operations for it. The class(es) that you assign to the general maintenance task list using the configuration profile control(s) which characteristics the system proposes for the characteristic evaluation.
