- Maintenance Plan and Object Costing
You can calculate
maintenance plan costs in three ways:
- You can call up the costs from the maintenance plan using Extras -> Object costing.
- You can call up maintenance plan costing in the same way you have up to now using one of the following menu paths:
Logistics -> Plant Maintenance -> Planned Maintenance -> Maintenance
Planning -> Maintenance Plans -> Maintenance Plan
Costing
Customer
Service -> Service Agreements -> Maintenance Planning -> Maintenance
Plans -> Maintenance Plan Costing
- Ths object costing function (available since Release 4.6A) with which you can calculate the expected costs for a piece of equipment has been replaced. Instead, this function is available in the list editing for maintenance items.
You can select
maintenance items in the list editing function using different criteria, for
example, equipment or plant. Select desired maintenance items in the results
list, and choose the function Cost
estimate.
- Scheduling Period for Performance-Based Maintenance Plans
Up to now, you could
only specify a scheduling period for time-based maintenance plans. The
scheduling period allows you to display a preview of the maintenance dates in
the queue (for example, for next year). As of Release 4.6C. you can also
specify a scheduling period for performance-based maintenance plans. The
system determines the scheduled dates on the basis of the estimated annual
performance.
- Task Lists in the Maintenance Plan
In addition to
general task lists, you can now create equipment task lists and functional
location task lists from the maintenance plan.
You can also branch
directly to the task list change mode from the maintenance plan.
- Scheduling: Start and Restart in the Cycle
If you perform a
restart or a start in the
cycle during scheduling, you can then decide whether the system
should skip or delete calls with the status "waiting". Up to now, all calls
with this status were retained in the system.
- Activating or Deactivating Maintenance Plans
You can set the
status of a maintenance plan in scheduling to active
or inactive . Previously, this function was only
available if you changed a maintenance plan.
